Hey kids.

So, my potential girlfriend's birthday is coming up, and I want to make her a custom card in addition to whatever her gift is going to be.

I'm not all that good at making cards or using software in order to create something decent. I was wondering if any of you could help me out by giving me some ideas or suggestions, or maybe even flat out designing a card. Something cute like t&s on the cover, saying something with a speech bubble or something. I'm willing to maybe give a few bucks for the help.

Thanks in advance!

ok so i only just listened to the first half, the banter... "it's a record i am confident people who already like tegan and sara will like"

YES!!!!!!!! i guess it's the first time sara said that about a record... i am way too excited... when the hell is it coming out?? i haven't been reading up on LJ too much, so sorry if any of this was already posted...... PS any unreleased songs or b-sides in the past 4 months??? i've been a freak about having every single song and a few versions (live etc) of each for 8 years.. but i haven't been paying attention........

Ripped some audio from the Seattle show for you cute little nuggets.

Hi, guys!
There are a couple of vids on youtube with TS singing on the housetop (?) in lawn chairs and with loads of seagulls) it's MTV Artist Of The Week. and maybe someone knows where I can find/download the full version of this show or what it was I don't know...of this WEEK)))

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)

Ps No time for a video today. Here are some pictures that www.lindseybyrnes.com took.

Sinclair Sexsmith, of Sugarbutch Chronicles blog, created a project called Top Hot Butches to "celebrates the wide range of diversity of butch, masculine, androgynous, genderqueer, transmasculine, studs, AGs, dykes, queers, and transguys, while calling attention to some of the powerful activism, culture, and communities that we are creating. And, to look at photos of hotties"'

Tegan and Sara were #87 on the list. Woo hoo!

Also before we go into a lot of identity politics, here is Sinclair's reasoning behind the project's name.
