"Losing Taylor was a jolt to the cosmos." - Stewart Copeland

Everyone did so well in creating an epic, emotional tribute to an incredible musician & man who affected the lives of so many - and whose legacy will live on in countless ways.

6 hrs long, 50 songs, laughs and tears as we streamed the show (beside the tv a now empty Coors Light can performing as a short of Relic, a can that got thrown into the crowd & that we caught at the end of the last show we saw them at 🍻)

Highlights almost feels a weird way to phrase it but was happy to go along for the ride and especially enjoy the unexpected of: Kesha the babe ⭐, Chevy Metal owning the joint, Justin Hawkins' costumes & vibe, glad I've now heard of Josh Freese!, Wolfgang Van Halen shredding even though he doesn't mainly consider himself a guitarist lol, Violet Grohl's incredible singing (performing Jeff Buckley no less), swaggering out some AC/DC (and realising Brian Johnson and Justin Hawkins remind me of Frank Reynolds from IASIP and Klaus from Umbrella Academy 😂, also "if Brian tells you to do something, you fucking do it!" twitter.com/JustinHawkins/status/1566790445220372482?s=20&t=Ls4AkB34klZNMuVkhEbNYA ), Stewart Copeland being a big ham but showing up all presentable and hitting it like this was 40 years ago, Nandi being an absolute legend, Queen handling their second epic tribute at Wembley 30 years after Freddie, and of course Shane Hawkins embodying the most tangible spirit of Taylor in what must have been a very difficult and badass performance.

Connor had spent most of his freshman year of high school hating every second he spent at school. But things changed when he met Grant Milner. Suddenly, the days he spent frowning at others and wishing he could just go home became full of activities and friends.

Grant was far from popular, but he did have a small group of friends that welcomed Connor right away. They talked in the cafeteria everyday, and they went out together on weekends. They all tried the spicy curry challenge at the Spice Festival.

They also blew bubbles together at the festival, though they couldn't feel the flavor of the bubbles very well with their mouths still burning.

When Connor's sophomore year began, he was already an important member of that group. He no longer felt like an outsider, who was always wondering what he should say or do while they were having bubble tea after school.

Connor: "Guys, who wants to catch a movie this Friday? We're gonna need it after a whole day of dealing with Mrs. Coombes' bullshit. And what are we gonna do this weekend?"

As a Ph.D. scholar at the Australian National University (ANU) from 2004 to 2007, I stayed at the University House. I chose to live there because it is near my Coombs Building office. It was only halfway through my studies that I appreciated its rich history dating back to its establishment in 1954 as the oldest residential college at the university. The University House has undergone significant changes to meet the diverse needs of its residents. Originally designed to house academic units and later as a residence for faculty, staff, and postgraduate students, the building has transformed into a multifunctional space that seamlessly blends historic charm with modern amenities. The dormitory section where I lived serves as housing for Ph.D. Students, the rest of the building has been converted into 150 hotel-style rooms for visitors. Designed by architect and professor Brian Lewis, the University House is recognized as a heritage site by ANU, the Royal Australian Institute of Architects, and the Government of Australia. The ceremonial opening of the University House in 1954, graced by Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, marked a significant milestone in its history. Over the years, the building has adapted to changing times and needs, transitioning from the traditional Oxbridge collegiate system to that of a manor with facilities attuned to the 21st century. The University House has been a venue for numerous academic and social gatherings, including traditional Oxbridge formal dinners and free wine tastings for Ph.D. residents on Wednesday evenings. Its illustrious history is further enriched by the distinguished individuals who have resided within its walls, such as Australian Prime Minister Gough Whitlam. A standout moment during my time at the University House was the visit by Crown Prince Frederick and Crown Princess Mary of Denmark in 2005, during which a memorandum of understanding was signed between ANU and universities in Copenhagen and Aarhus. It was unforgettable because I was busy writing my dissertation in my office daily from 12 noon till 5 a.m. I did not receive last-minute word about vacating the dorm premises after breakfast because Danish guests will be passing through. I was showering leisurely before noon, after waking up, minutes before the VIPs dropped by, when security knocked and slipped a note under my door, frantically instructing me to get properly dressed ASAP. The University House has become a heritage-listed boutique hotel with various dining options and event spaces. Despite facing challenges like the hailstorm damage in January 2020, the building is resilient and undergoing restoration to continue its legacy of academic excellence and cultural significance for future generations to appreciate. As University House continues to thrive, its importance within the ANU community remains unwavering, ensuring its place in its rich history for generations to come. #australiannationaluniversity

The Coombes Legacy

Daniel Coombes & Edith Mont Coombes - 1890 A woman from a wealthy family and an outlaw from a notorious gang fall for one another and decide to ditch their lives to be together.

More in-depth back story below! I accidentally made it longer than expected. WHOOPS. I'm more of an artist than a writer and I don't think every post I make will be this detailed and in-depth... but its good practice!

Edith Montgomery Calloway was born into a wealthy family in Windenburg and while living there she met her future husband, Butch Boone. Butch Boone was an outlaw who joined the Van Doren gang in his early teens. A gang centered around robbing banks, trains, and stagecoaches. Butch pursued Edith with the intent of getting information & forming a plan to rob Edith's family estate and ends up falling for her tender personality. Obscure interrogations turned into dates and by the end of the month they were infatuated with each other, Butch knew her noble status and his criminal history would make it impossible to be accepted into her family so he took his final cut from the gang, packed what he could, packed it onto a small covered wagon and snuck onto the Calloway estate to propose.

Butch, as quietly as he could, poured his heart out to Edith from outside her bedroom window, and Edith enthusiastically accepted!

Edith's heart fluttered and she struggled to keep her voice down, She was relieved to know Butch loved her as much as she did him.

Except now what? Once the excitement passed anxiety flooded her head. Her family would never allow their engagement and Edith would have to leave everything she's known behind!

Did she really want to leave her family behind? Edith knew she'd most likely never see her siblings again. " Would they even understand? " Negative thoughts clouded her brain. Edith has only ever known a life of luxury...

Was Butch worth throwing it all away?

" Yes! Yes he was! "

Despite the rollercoaster of emotions, Edith knew at least one thing for sure, Her father had already been discussing plans about Marry her off to another wealthy family in Windenburg, If Edith didn't go now she'd surely marry whatever vainglorious man they planted in front of her whether she loved him or not.

Edith had always done whatever task her family has asked of her, she was not going to be trapped in a loveless marriage for the sake of climbing the social ladder!

Edith quietly changed from her nightgown, packing what clothes and trinkets she could take with her, and snuck down into her father's library to take what she could from her family's emergency funds.

Butch lead Edith out of her family's property where they rode off to leave Windenburg and bought tickets onto a boat to take them to Henford-on-Bagley to start a new life together.

On the way to Henford Butch decided it was best to pick up an Alias to help leave their histories behind them. Butch Boone would now be known as Daniel Coombes and Edith would become Edith Mont Coombes.

Butch pulled what funds they had left and took a loan from the Henford bank to buy a large patch of farmland with a house on the hill.

Daniel and Edith had a private wedding under a tree on their farmland and are both eager to start their new life together. But will it last?

Can Daniel the former Butch Boone, really leave his criminal lifestyle behind and devote himself to working to pay off the heavy bank loans and keep his family afloat? Will Edith be able to leave her aristocratic way of life behind, roll up her sleeves, and get her hands dirty for once to make the farm work? Or will the hard work tear their relationship apart? Was their impromptu marriage a huge mistake?

We'll have to wait and see ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#I haven't done a decades challenge in so long im excited!#I'm gonna try to be more strict with this one but not too strict to where im not having fun #hope any other vintage/historical simmies like my couple #The Coombes Legacy #decade challenge #the sims 4 #ts4 #ts4 historical #historical challenge #sims 4 screenies #long post #vintage #I really like how their portrait edits came out!!!#holy shit the bank interest is gonna fuck them but i think they can pull it off

All about Taylor Hawkins 1st & 2nd Tribute Concert

Over the weekend, the first of two tribute concerts for late Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins was held on the 3rd September Saturday night. The Foo Fighters played a six-hour show at Wembley Stadium in England, their first performance since drummer Taylor Hawkins passed away in March. The band was joined by some of the best musicians working today. Hawkins' favorite musicians, including Brian May and Roger Taylor of Queen, Liam Gallagher, Travis Barker, and AC/Brian DC's Johnson, were all brought out for the event by the Foo Fighters. Grohl's opening remarks made it obvious that the event would pay tribute to Taylor Hawkins' legacy in more ways than one: "A tremendous damn night for a gigantic god damn person." Later, Dave Chappelle referred to Hawkins as "a legend of a man" and recalled meeting him and his son Shane. The evening's musical performances began with two classic Oasis songs performed by Liam Gallagher and the Foo Fighters, and a moving videotape was given by Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Grohl's incredible performance, which lasted almost six hours overall and featured a setlist of 50 songs, left a profound lasting impression on Hawkins and the Foo Fighters as a whole.

Caroline “Chuck” Wilson has big plans for spring break—hit up estate sales to score vintage fashion finds and tour the fashion school she dreams of attending. But her dad wrecks those plans when he asks her to spend vacation working the counter at Bigmouth’s Bowl, her family’s failing bowling alley. Making things astronomically worse, Chuck finds out her dad is way behind on back rent—meaning they might be losing Bigmouth’s, the only thing keeping Chuck’s family in San Francisco. And the one person other than Chuck who wants to do anything about it? Beckett Porter, her annoyingly attractive ex-best friend. So when Beckett propositions Chuck with a plan to make serious cash infiltrating the Bay Area action bowling scene, she accepts. But she can’t shake the nagging feeling that she’s acting irrational—too much like her mother for comfort. Plus, despite her best efforts to keep things strictly business, Beckett’s charm is winning her back over...in ways that go beyond friendship. If Chuck fails, Bigmouth’s Bowl and their San Francisco legacy are gone forever. But if she succeeds, she might just get everything she ever wanted.

Still Star-Crossed - Episode 1.01 - In Fair Verona - Promotional Photos & Press Release

“In Fair Verona, Where We Lay Our Scene” – In the wake of Romeo and Juliet’s tragic deaths, the Montague and Capulet rivalry escalates. A new royal takes the throne in Verona and struggles to determine what is best for his city, which is at the epicenter of mayhem. The series premiere of “Still Star-Crossed” is MONDAY, MAY 29 (10:01-11:00 p.m. EDT), on The ABC Television Network. Following the death of her cousin Juliet, Rosaline Capulet (Lashana Lynch) finds herself in the middle of a political play to try and save Verona. She will prove she’s a force to be reckoned with, especially when it comes to her destiny, and must make tough decisions regarding her loyalty to the Capulet name. Rosaline’s sister, Livia Capulet (Ebonee Noel), is a hopeless romantic who dreams of a marriage to provide her with a life she’s always wanted, but her yearning for love makes her an easy target, and she gets drawn into a sordid secret unbeknownst to her. Romeo’s death thrusts his cousin Benvolio Montague (Wade Briggs) into a position of responsibility, as he becomes the sole heir to the Montague name and must abide by a sinister plan to solidify his family’s prominence. A newly crowned Prince Escalus (Sterling Sulieman) is determined to end the bloodshed between the Montagues and Capulets, but his only solution forces him to decide between following his heart and protecting his kingdom. Eager to help her brother rule Verona, Princess Isabella (Medalion Rahimi) finds herself drawn to the throne, but quickly realizes that obtaining power as a woman will require succumbing to a twisted scheme. Lord Capulet (Anthony Head) is the patriarch of the Capulet dynasty and is willing to maintain the legacy of his family’s name at any cost. Lady Capulet (Zuleikha Robinson) may want the same as her husband, but a mystery behind her true ambitions will slowly come to light. The Montagues are on the precipice of matching the Capulets social status, but Romeo’s death threatens to stall their ascent. Angered by grief and the loss of his son, Lord Montague (Grant Bowler) will stop at nothing to ensure the Montagues are the most respected family in Verona. The sparring families aren’t the only ones affected by Romeo and Juliet’s tragic fate. The keeper of Verona’s darkest confessions, Friar Lawrence (Dan Hildebrand), feels a deep responsibility for their deaths, along with the Capulet’s lifelong caretaker, the Nurse (Susan Wooldridge). She holds many secrets of her own, including the fact that she is tending to Count Paris (Torrance Coombs), who was supposed to wed Juliet, but was left for dead after a brutal fight with Romeo. “Still Star-Crossed” stars Grant Bowler as Lord Damiano Montague, Wade Briggs as Benvolio Montague, Torrance Coombs as Count Paris, Dan Hildebrand as Friar Lawrence, Lashana Lynch as Rosaline Capulet, Ebonee Noel as Livia Capulet, Medalion Rahimi as Princess Isabella, Zuleikha Robinson as Lady Guiliana Capulet, Sterling Sulieman as Prince Escalus, Susan Wooldridge as Nurse and Anthony Head as Lord Silvestro Capulet.
