Hello friends,
It’s our second to last day of recording! Sara and I are putting the final touches on the record as we speak! Technically the record isn’t even CLOSE to being done yet. Chris and Howard will be here working all next week getting the files ready to pass on to Dave Sardy, who is going to be mixing the record all next month! We’ll be popping in next week from time to time to check on their progress (take away any newly purchased cheese puffs etc) and cheer on Jason McGerr while he plays percussion (he also played drums on the new record!!!!).
Sara and I have a big photo shoot set up for Monday and Tuesday with www.pamelalittky.com. Emy has been in her workshop the last few weeks dreaming up the concept of the record. She’s built sets and sewn our wardrobe by hand. Her to-do list was enormous and sounded like a “fabricland” nightmare to me, but she is busting with creative energy. Expect great things!
We hope to announce the title of the record next week once the shoot is done and the concept is fully realized and we confirm the title! So stay tuned.
Oh!
July 3rd in Seattle is sold out. Thank you! We are very nervous but very excited to play again. It’s been quite a few months since we’ve played live. Eeek. Everyone here in Seattle has been so nice to us and we are sorry to those that can’t make it. Next time we’ll play somewhere a little bigger with room for you all!
And July 5th at the Hollywood Bowl…what a night that is going to be! We are playing with the talented and lovely Death Cab For Cutie and the equally wonderful and talented New Pornographers. The show starts early, so be sure to get there in time to park and get in the gate! Sara and I go on at 7:45pm. We play for 45 minutes!
We’ve got tons of new merchandise for both shows and made sure to order enough to send to our stores after the tour too. I think you guys are going to be super excited!!!!
Oh and the Hollywood Bowl is VERY particular about camera equipment. Be sure to only bring digital cameras that fit in your purse or pocket. No “professional” cameras with detachable lenses are allowed on the site. And don’t sneak any whiskey in your underwear. I hear the pat down is thorough. (kidding)
Lastly, we were very sad to hear that both Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson passed away yesterday. What a huge loss for so many people. What a strange, sad day. It certainly inspired me to live every moment fully!
Your friends, Tegan (and Sara)

Dear Sara,
I was too ambitious when I said I would post something new everyday on www.teganandsara.com.
Today was very productive here in the studio as you may remember and so I couldn’t produce more than 140 characters at a time.
Would You Please Post This For Me :

Taco Time
Mr Chris, seriously?
Its been a rough couple of days. A number of meals were ordered under the influence of hysteria. But this? Cheese puffs IN the taco time? When will this stop?
Barbara, may I borrow your coat?
This is how I felt yesterday. Sadly, there is no photographic evidence. And so, here is the woman who inspires me most these days. Her haircut, her pose.
From a happier place,

Dear Friends,
Its our day off! But we still wanted to post something for you. So as we were
leaving the studio tonight (Saturday) I put together this post.
We had a late night brainstorm session to come up with an album title and
here were the names Howard, Chris, Emy, Lindsey, Sara and I came up
with: (I’ll leave who actually came up with what to your imaginations)
1. Nancy Piaggione
2. Head Phones On A Pole
3. Burning the Midnight Owl
4. Green Lamp Shade Overhead
5. This is Not a Game of I Spy
6. Crantanamous
7. Pixels
8. Burning the Midnight Owl
9. Fish Lips
10. Lids
11. Lidless
12. Inappropriate Touching
At this point I got upset, canceled the brainstorm session and sent everyone
home. It was pointless anyway as we already know the title. Oh yeah. That’s right. We’re
now officially holding out on you.
Happy Sunday,
Your friend, Tegan
