It’s official, the Christmas season is here! And in Denton this weekend, there are a few events that will help you to really get in the yuletide mood.
Most of you probably know about Denton’s Holiday Lighting Festival this Friday night. There will be wassail, horse drawn wagons, twinkle lights, music, children laughing, people passing, meeting smile after smile, etc. etc… I think it starts around 5:30pm. Not to be missed.
BUT you may not have heard about another Christmas event this Friday and Saturday that you definitely do not want to miss: THE CHRISTMAS SHOW.
The Christmas Show is a cozy little gathering of local artists and designers who will be making their handmade whimsies and whatnots available to us all to buy and enjoy. From bagels and pies, to photos, women’s clothing, baby items, furniture, and many more must-haves. This is their fourth year doing this and every year it just keeps getting better.
It starts this Friday from 4pm until 9pm. And then continues on Saturday from 9am until 2pm. The show will be at a charming old house in Denton near downtown: 418 Texas St.
Don’t wait until Saturday! Everything is handmade and one-of-a-kind, so the earlier you get there, the more choices you’ll have! So take a quick break from the festival downtown on Friday and stop by!
Also, when you stop by, bring some canned goods. They are collecting cans this year for Vision Ministries.
See you there…

I have not posted anything lately here for a couple months for the following reasons:
1. I have been working on a number of other projects, including designing a “Keep Denton Beard” logo:
2. I have been quite busy at my “day job” .
3. I have been celebrating the birth of my second child: Miles Alden Koehn:
4. Things and stuff
So…
What’s next? Well, as I try to figure that out, I am going to finally finish up editing the video I have for the 35 Conferette (remember that?). I am also going to be sharing my thoughts on the true meaning of “Keep Denton Beard”.
Stay tuned!
(but not too tuned, just in case I get distracted again)

The last night of NX35 did not disappoint. Audio will be posted later (except for Pattern is Movement – the mic got switched off on my recording contraption, blast).
Before I went to Dan’s, I stopped at a house show to see my new favorite solo band – TodLr (photo is below):

There were moments on Friday where I was simply in awe of the creativity and genius of these wonderful artists:
The Lonesome Heroes
The Hope Trust
Mount Righteous
Ola Podrida
& Sleep Whale
I have audio of their entire sets and some video of at least one song from each. I will be posting these next week.
Until then, there are some photos below.
I also was able to attend Kevin Roden’s Drink & Think and we discussed “Is Midlake Better than Mylie Cyrus?”. There were many thought provoking comments made that I will talk about later. I also have the audio from this and I will be posting it also next week. Photos are also below.

I had the opportunity to upload these this morning because my 20 month old woke me up at 6:30 am wanting to throw and catch his ball with him. Thank you very much.
