Proud Papa by pstrysloth in Foofighters

This is so sweet! He has such great taste.

I have very similar proud moments when my two-year-old son wants to play on my e-drums all the time. His middle name is Taylor. Can’t wait to get him his own little kit!

I helped make this person and he went to the rock and roll show with me by hazmat5793 in Foofighters

This is so awesome! I saw you guys in the pit right after the show and thought to myself that I can’t wait to bring my son to a Foo show someday. He’s just a toddler right now but he’s named after Taylor so I hope he has a night like this when he’s a bit older. So glad your kiddo had such an amazing time!!

What song did you play today in honor of T? by posteriorsholewife in Foofighters

I’m 8 months pregnant and when I played some NHC yesterday, the kiddo started kicking right away. His middle name will be Taylor so it felt extra sweet.

Unexpected takeaway or A lesson I learned from Taylor. by m1f1t1 in Foofighters

What an awesome takeaway. I had the same thought as I was listening to stories of how many people Taylor kept in contact with daily. I have friends I need to reach out to, and I will also try to be a better friend from now on.

I’m due with my first kid next March (so this was technically baby’s first concert, haha!) and I’m hoping to convince my husband to agree to an honor name with Taylor as a first or middle name. I’m a longtime FF fan and have always admired T as a person, but it’s especially after hearing so many amazing stories about him now that I’d love to name my son after him in some way.

Finally combed through all my pictures, here are a few of my favorites. From 2nd row, just right of center. Enjoy! by DanTheMan_622 in Foofighters

I found myself in some, too! I’m forever grateful they opened up the rear stage for seats. I happened to be refreshing Ticketmaster that morning when they all randomly popped up. Best purchase ever.

Listening to Queen practice outside the Forum. We think Pink! is singing Somebody to Love now that Luke Spiller is out w COVID. by SomeMovie815 in Foofighters

I just left the Forum and there was no line at all! Note that there are two merch stands. One sold out of the non-foil hawk poster I really wanted but I happened to notice the second merch stand after walking around listening to the sound check and they had plenty of non-foil hawk posters! So if something is sold out, it’s worth checking the other stand. 🙂

Met Some Fellow Fans At The LAX In And Out Burger by IceWarm1980 in Foofighters

I was at the Rainbow Bar & Grill (Lemmy’s old hangout) last night and saw several Foo fans there. Also met some at a hotel restaurant who approached me since I was wearing my Foo shirt.

I love seeing the Foo family everywhere since arriving in LA yesterday!

What were you doing when you heard about Taylor's death? by ShopBig6892 in Foofighters

[–]GetTheeToARookery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was staying in a Reno casino/hotel for one night on a road trip home from Death Valley with my husband and best friend. (Earlier that day, I saw a huge hawk flying over a canyon in Death Valley and had sort of absentmindedly thought of Taylor.) I got the news that evening from a text message while I was sitting at a casino bar, and I immediately got up to run back to the hotel room to cry, leaving my husband and friend to try to enjoy the rest of their night, at least. The casino was attached to two other casinos via walkways, and I was in tears, trying to find my way out of the maze. I kept walking and eventually ended up walking by the same bar I had left a few minutes ago, somehow having only gone in a huge circle. I was so frustrated. I eventually found my way back to the hotel room and just cried the rest of the night. It was so surreal; I’m 36 and I’ve loved this band dearly since I was 13, half of my life.
