I'm happy to report that the people you waved at were me and my two friends Marlee and Nica (Nica asked the first question after the viewing), thank you so much for waving at strangers, it made our day!!
The IKEA story!!! LOL. Little did he know that he was actually talking to a superstar π great post Tegan, please keep them that long, just love it π«Άπ»
Can you tell us more about Heather your musical director? Iβve never heard you guys talk about touring with a musical director before so Iβm curious what that role entails!
I love the recap Tegan. I can't imagine all the fun but nerves too. I'm so excited for tonight at CIFF. Feel free to wave ;) Me and my besties will be the ones in the front row with masks on (they'll be hiding our giant smiles) and matching TnS shirts/hoodies (custom made). I know High School is going to be amazing and seeing you two there will be even more exciting. I hope you aren't too anxious with the hometown crowd. Also, I hope Sofia is feeling better. Did Georgia stay at the island house with her when you came back to the city to isolate?

Hey Tegan,
Cool post! Thanks for giving us the life update, I know I appreciated it!
As for the βI think I need glassesβ I thought both you and Sara already had glasses? Or was that just Sara? As you (hopefully) remember from when we met on zoom I have glasses (and Iβm 15), be glad you donβt have glasses AND braces! (More things to look forward to in October, getting my braces off!) fun fact about me, Iβve actually had glasses since I was in prep (thatβs like grade 1 except we have grade 1 after that), so Iβve had glasses since I was 5. not entirely surprising given that both my parents have glasses. Apparently when I was a baby I used to pull the glasses off my parents faces π! Speaking of funny things thatβs kinda hilarious that you keep waving at strangers. Also if you didnβt gather, my long winded point is you donβt have to be embarrassed about needing glasses. Their accessories now and you get to chose the colour and the shape and all that. From what βDebyβ said sounds like you waved at some fanβs who were happy to wave back. Have you gotten any weird looks as you get closer to people? If itβs any consolation without my glasses Iβd probably think a total stranger was my mum if she had glasses, blonde hair and Flowy clothes, if I saw the person from enough distance. π
Anyway thanks for the post.

Awesome you met Mae, I saw they were also at the Amazon party and wondered if you'd get a photo together. Really cool insight into the press week for High School! Hope Sofia is feeling better!
Holy guacamoleβ¦your trip sounded so busy and hectic! I would be a nervous wreck and probably have a mental breakdown haha. I used to want to be a singer (mainly in Broadway). My stage fright and anxiety disorder stopped that dream pretty quickly. Iβm kind of thankful it did because I know I wouldnβt be able to handle everything you through when you are a musician.
It sounds like you a lot of great times and met some amazing folks. Iβm sorry that Sofia had Covid. I hope she doesnβt get any long term effects from it. Thank you for writing this long post and telling us what happened! I enjoyed reading it. Take care.

This was SO cool, and I loved all the detail. This was really great thanks for this post Tegan. Shame you didnβt get to tell Bella the Ikea story, but you got to meet Mae which is a pretty great alternative so you definitely peaked. πππΌ
PS I never made the Ellie connection myself either,οΏΌ but I can kind of see it and as a Last Of Us fan as well Iβd take it as a massive compliment too. Plus being compared to a teenager, like you said, pretty great. ππ
This new video is fun! Iβm showing my age here but the intro looped video snips being linked to the loops of the track reminded me of playing Simon. Blue red green blue yellow.

This is such a nice substack. Loved how detailed it is and how reflective you are of the past two weeks. π

Side note: any tips for growing out short hair?

Getting glasses can change your life!
I got nervous just reading this! I could never do what you do, and I'm so glad that YOU can - lucky us!
Wait. Go back. Driving license??
