Rumors of the demise of Denton's music scene are greatly exaggerated. In fact, it appears that the sudden changes in the landscape may have given it a good shot in the arm. This weekend marks the start of the highly anticipated UNT Football season, as well. All eyes will be on the new coach to see if he can pull off a few wins for the Mean Green.

The week between move-in and classes is a truly magical time in Denton. The yearly injection of wide eyed optimism that the students bring is refreshing. As always, dodging cars heading the wrong way on Oak or Hickory keeps the townies on their toes.

Read MoreWe’ve got a heat index of 107 today. The air is almost too hot to breath at this point. Simple tasks like getting the mail and watering the struggling plants become reasons to take another shower. Yet somehow, the Community Market is packed, the patios are full in the evenings and new Rotary clubs are still getting formed. We suppose it’s true what they say, if you can’t stand the heat, get your ass out of Denton. We’ve heard Colorado is nice right now. If you can stand the heat, be relieved, there is a cool front coming our way over the weekend and maybe we’ll hit a high of only 89 on Saturday and see some rain. Summer may be over, but the future creators of our city are just getting started. Hashtag your photo’s #WDDI and show us what you’re up to.

We can’t believe that we’re almost to the end of July. Where did the summer go?! The school supplies have creeped into our favorite stores and are starting to take over. We’re doing our best to savor the end of summer, to enjoy the long days and late nights, lazy mornings and all. Try out one more thing on your list for this summer before August gets here and the world goes back to school, regular schedules and the world of football takes over.

All the indoor kids got out this week in spite of the weather. All the more reason to drive slow and cautiously (and without texting) around the square. Check out the first of our guides to getting your Pokémon Go on in Denton and maybe, perhaps hashtag pics of things (or rare Pokémon) to be featured in our Monday post, What We Did. (Editor's Note: Please don't.)

It is really stinking hot you guys. Do Texans just have a special form of memory loss that applies specifically to the summer and how dang hot it is? Either way, we've got a few ways to stay cool, and we're looking forward to doing just that while hanging around town this weekend. After all, there area plenty of places with powerful air conditioners and iced beverages on this list. So let's get out of the house, avoid the mosquitos, and take in all that Denton has to offer. Check out these ten events that we think you should be doing this week in today's Den10, our weekly events listing.
Questions, suggestions, and secret cold hideouts can all be emailed to glen@wedentondoit.com.

One of our most favorite things in the world is food. Taking photos of food would probably rank as #2 or #3. That’s why Taste Of North Texas is totally our jam. This is the 27th year that ~35 restaurants from all over the “little d” metro will fill the Super Pit at UNT and offer up samples of what they’ve got to benefit the Denton Kiwanis Club. This event is a Denton staple, sort of like Frenchy (who happens to be their most orange member). We’re excited to check out newcomers Upper Park out of Aubrey, soon to be opening another location on the square & you will probably find us hanging out with John Williams at the East Side / OSDH table for obvious reasons. Tickets prices are $15 for adults (Ages 18 and older), $10 for ages 7 to 17. Children ages 6 and under get in free. You can email them at denton.kiwanis@verizon.net if you’ve got questions and go check out dentonkiwanisclub.org and check out all the awesome ways they’ve been a huge part of Denton.
