Did you vote yesterday, Denton? We sure hope you did! If not, it’s ok (we guess). You can still pack the rest of your week with civic goodness. This week holds plenty of opportunity to get out, mingle with some peers, have your voice heard, and above all - have a good time doing so. Luckily our beautiful town has plenty of eye-catching locations for these gatherings to take place at, and hey, we’ve really been meaning to go back to Barley & Board any way.

Read MoreDenton is always a special kind of festive during the days leading up to All Hallows Eve, and we cannot get enough of it. There are new events popping up left and right, things happening all around us and just when we thought the fun was going to fall short, Day Light Savings hits us on Sunday. Just what we needed. An extra hour of costuming, partying, and drinking on Halloween night.
With that said, here are our top ten event picks for the next seven days of your ghoulish lives. Spooky stories, comments, and mostly just future events can be directed to sara@wedentondoit.com
Read MoreCan you believe that next week is Halloween? That means we are rounding out October and heading full force in to what we hope will be an actual fall season. Temperatures seem to have broken (finally) and it is Denton’s Day of the Dead Festival weekend - what more could you possibly want?
Although there are tons of events happening in Denton this week (and every week), we chose what we think are the 10 best events that give you a full taste of what Denton has to offer. If you have an event that you think might add some robust flavor in the future, please direct that to sara@wedentondoit.com.
Read MoreAt this point we're assuming you're super excited about Oaktopia already. We certainly are! This year is a promising weekend of day panels and evening lineups that are incredibly well-curated and we encourage you to buy some tickets and go see all of it. These guys have got it going on, they’ve hit their stride in their third year and we expect bigger and better things from them for years to come. If you still need cliff notes, start here: go to Oaktopia and hashtag #WDDI.
Not even sure what to put here anymore so email glen@wedentondoit.com for ideas.
Read MoreNo one told us the GOP debate was going to last 3 hours so this is coming in a little late and with a little commentary. The good news is we live in Denton, a city where it’s very easy to find a cause or initiative to get behind and effect real change in our community. Today is North Texas Giving Day and some of us will be out on the square raising money for at-risk children, the homeless, the hungry, and many other sources of need that are right in our community. Imagine if the same amount of energy spent in the next few hours in Denton on social media things such as the debate went into trying to solve the issue of students showing up to Denton ISD schools hungry because they aren’t fed at home.

Read MoreIs winter here yet? Probably not, but guess what is: Arts Antiques and Autos! Be prepared to not park on the square overnight this Friday or you will be publicly shamed, picked up and moved, maybe even towed to make way for the 200+ vintage car entries that are expected. The weather will be perfect and it will be up to you whether you take advantage of it or not. It’s late.
Not sure why you’d want to but if you’d like to communicate via email about anything - literally anything at all - do so by using the following address: glen@wedentondoit.com.
Read MoreThe big event this week is this Friday’s Cannonball Contest / Free Pool Party at the Civic Center Pool on the west side of Quakertown Park. Actual grown men and women will be throwing themselves in “cannon ball” form at the face of the water to raise money for the construction of the Eureka 2 park. It’ll be a good way to cool off one last time before the pools shut down for the winter. There’s lots of other stuff also, but that’s the one to go to. We expect lots of #WDDI’s from this.
