Great Scott! It's finally October, y'all. It's sure as heck time again for another movie night on the courthouse lawn. Last time, we all hunkered down and watched Johnny Depp cut hair, trim hedges, and get a lap dance from a neighbor in the Tim Burton classic, Edward Scissorhands. This time out, we're hitching our wagon to Robert Zemeckis' Delorean with Back to the Future II. Get it down in your calendar ASAP. Wednesday, October 21st, we will be on the courthouse lawn - picnic regalia in tow - ready to get our movie on.

Read MorePEOPLE OF DENTON: DOUG CAMPBELL
If you’ve been on the University of North Texas’ campus lately, you might have seen signs with a caricature of UNT’s Librarian Doug Campbell around the Library Mall. It simply reads “Ask Doug!" which is the perfect segue into this month's People of Denton post. So we did it. We asked Doug all the questions, and what he had to say was insightful and of course, oh-so Denton.

What We Did is our weekly roundup of photos that WDDI staff and readers have taken over the past seven days. We've got 21 of our favorite images from the past week in Denton, TX below. And what a week it was. We saw future Denton musicians give us a performance at Harvest House, citizens getting in their last climb in at Eureka playground, and plenty of folks celebrating Octoberfest properly on both Oak St. and Walnut St. That wasn't all either. It was a pretty crowded weekend with beautiful weather so we broke our rule and went posted a few more photos than normal.

Read MoreLOST IN THE DESSERT: THE BEST PIE IN DENTON
I've long heard rumors in whispers around town that the best pie in Denton can be found at Loco Café. Not only did my long overdue reconnaissance mission need to be performed between the hours of 7:00am and 3:00pm, but the pie doesn’t even show up until Friday. You may see this elusive beast Saturday, Sunday, or even Monday morning for the luckiest, but those who appreciate freshness, predictability, and just-from-the-oven warmth can and should make their standing pie dates around 10am on Friday.

FALL WEATHER! SWEATERS! PUMPKIN SPICE! DECORATIVE GOURDS! What more do you need? Get out there and enjoy the more moderate temperatures this weekend and hashtag your photos with #WDDI. If you don’t hashtag your photos, we don’t even know you took them. We want to see what awesome things you get into. If you need help, go to google.com and do a search for “how to hashtag” or maybe “what is a hashtag and how can it help me." Then, we can hopefully include some of them on our weekly What We Did post and you don't have to complain about us not having photos of your event. So there you have it folks, it feels like Day of The Dead is almost upon us and at that point, we’re practically off on Christmas break and it will be 2016 before you know it. So get to it, y'all!

Read MoreOAKTOPIA AND CHILL: FESTIVAL RECAP
Oaktopia took over downtown Denton for its junior year of programming, offering interactive art installations, a mini-skate park set up, outdoor movies, and oh yeah - live music. Once known for being a predominantly hip-hop driven festival, this year they took a heavy indie turn at Isreal Nash and went full speed toward Edward Sharpe and his Magnetic Zeros. We aren’t complaining, though. We like Sarah Jaffe, too.
