We stopped in at Atomic Candy on the Square today, and just love the place. You can find every candy known to exist, and a lot of it is packaged in retro style wrappers that are sure to take you back in time. If you’re like me, you won’t be able to wait until next First Friday to visit Atomic Candy. I know I won’t.

Make sure you welcome Atomic Candy Owner Tim Loyd to the list of First Friday when you stop in at 105 W. Hickory St. His hours will be short on First Friday, closing at 8-pm is necessary as part of his location, so what you do is go get dessert first, then go eat! You can visit Atomic Candy’s website at www.atomic-candy.com, and be sure to check out their Facebook page as well at https://www.facebook.com/pages/Atomic-Candy/142414829202725?sk=info

Certainly, some participants have merchandise that may be a little too cold for this September’s First Friday, but the event goes on as usual, as always.

Anyone who is interested in participating in First Friday Denton should fill out the contact form and I will add you to the site as soon as possible. If you want to get listed or make announcements regarding this First Friday September 2, deadline for that is midnight Wedensday before First Friday.

I also want to give a soft shout out to Etsy Denton! Are you ready to be paired with locations that could feature you and your work for one evening a month in the heart of Denton’s most important retail district? I would also like to hear from the Etsy Denton folks because I am considering spearheading an effort to create a temporary “Denton Guerrilla Christmas” retail location, but we’re going to want some precursory participation in FFD’s first. If I can get enough participants, I will work on the location for a grand opening Black Friday, and running through January 1, 2012.

I will be roaming around participating First Friday Denton locations this Friday, so if you see me just say “CHEESSSSE!” I need still photographs and video clips from participating locations this First Friday, and every First Friday – via iPhone, e mail or however you can get it to me.

Thanks, and let’s have some fantastic First Fridays this fall!
