Festivals bring out the best in people. So, whenever there are four days and nights of independent films, a wide spectrum of music and Denton streets filled with every variation of plaid, there's bound to be some interesting things being whispered to a friend or screamed to the entire crowd. Put on your all access pass and look back at some of the random, quote-worthy moments as this year's Thin Line Film and Music Festival.

"Honestly, I could've lost it somewhere yesterday for all I know. I'm getting my pearl snapped right now, I don't need money."

~Patron talking to Sweetwater Bar & Grill staff during PurlSnapShirts' acoustic set.

6. "Yea, Rapsody is a dope MC and a real lyricist but since she's not willing to dance on chairs in the middle of Antarctica, she'll stay underground. Sometimes it's just better that way."

~ Two friends talking meeting up outside of Rubber Gloves Saturday night.

1. "I can't wait until 35 Denton next month. I hear the line-up has last year beat."
