Tegan,

I've noticed that you often use my name at Starbucks or when placing food orders over the phone. Truthfully, I've never really used your name for anything until a recent trip to New York City. I attended The Gotham Awards solo, representing "Tegan and Sara" without you, not for the first time, but it was the first instance I can remember where I was asked to walk the red carpet entirely alone. Approaching the carpet, I mentioned to our publicist that I felt somewhat insecure as my name ("Sara Quin") was far less recognized than yours. So, when the woman with a whiteboard asked for my name, I spontaneously said, “Tegan Quin.” She flashed your name to the photographers, and with a grin, I stepped onto the carpet. For the next two minutes, I relished the absurdity of committing my first twin fraud.
