Ok, I'm on holidays and I've totally let the blogging go. Today I am making a promise to myself to write a conclusion about my trip to Europe with Tegan and Sara. I've been home for 10 days and just got finished weeding my garden. It's crazy how quickly time flies. It seems like it was just a minute ago that I was planning my trip and what I wanted to do - and now…

We hope that all our friends in Canada had a fun and safe Canada Day long weekend, and that our friends in the US are gearing up for a big July 4th! We are back in North America following our European tour and are wanting to do our part to raise some money to help with the re-building efforts in Alberta following the devastating flooding last month. It was so hard to see our home…
There is a condition that plagues some people who tour. Tegan and Sara have coined it "Expanding Disorder". It's not as rare as you might imagine. I had not been familiar with this condition before, but while on the road with Tegan and Sara - I confess, I have developed it. Expanding Disorder is when your belongings start to overflow into other people's space. I realize now that Tegan and Sara make fun of you…

The first time Tegan and Sara went to Europe was in 2000. They travelled alone, arriving in Milan with no band, no crew, no cell phones, no lap tops, no calling cards. I can't help but imagine their $20.00 a day US per diem, and their uncertainty about how to exchange it for appropriate currency in each country. Many days they survived solely on snacks from the hotel mini bar and it's this knowledge that…
There is something so powerful about loving a band. Finding music that speaks to you is a magical thing. I have loved so many bands in my life. I was 12 when I bought my first record - Joy to the World by Three Dog Night. I still can recall the image of it in my mind (thankfully I have some memory left). That was the beginning of my love of music and when my…

Upon arrival in London, my roommate Sara met me at the door of our hotel room. After my long flight from Vancouver, our room was a welcome oasis - filled with aromatherapy body washes and a comfortable bed with crisp white sheets. But, sleep was illusive and in retrospect I should have taken Sara's offer of a sleeping pill. It did however give me the opportunity to watch her sleep all night, something I haven't…
