The writing was on the wall when London’s Billy Elliot announced it was departing the Victoria Palace Theatre on April 9. The venue’s owner, Cameron Mackintosh, is set to refurbish the house and is aiming to put a small show you might have heard of called Hamilton in there. As previously reported, the British mega-producer will team up with the new musical’s creator Lin-Manuel Miranda to bring it to the West End in 2017 and the Daily Mail reports that the tuner will go into the venue as long as it’s ready.

The seasonal flows were first noticed in 2010, with water the strongest suspect. Spectral observations of season data from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter indicate the presence of hydrated salts on the surface, or water mixing with a thick brine of salts.

For anyone wondering why we’re all crying about the Unravel presentation at E3 today, here is the presentation.  After hours of stuffy old people just reading off of scripts and trying to make awkward jokes to fit in with the youngins, it was SO refreshing to have someone come on stage and be so… sincere, and in love with their game.  His raw emotions and true passion really captured my interest and, I think, the hearts of everyone watching.

Also, the little “hi!” from Yarny is cavity-inducing sweetness, omg.
