Wow! This performance is great!! I hope they post it all! If they think it was "bad" just because there were some execution difficulties, they are so wrong. Fans of Tegan and Sara have come to love the "mess-ups" just like they love the "unconventional" banter that Tegan and Sara bring to their shows. I loved it I hope they post it all without a single edit! The musical snobs who can't handle something musically imperfect like a wrong note when a musician plays some are just boneheads! ---------------------------------------------- "Sometimes, I don't think I can love, but what the hell, maybe I can. I don't know if you should get your hopes up for me though...I mean I couldn't stand the thought of letting you down. Not that I'd ever try to let you down but you're too beautiful to be hurt by a thing like me...But I need to make a deep, meaningful connection...I need a strong, grounded and well-connected romantic/semi-romantic relationship in my life...this much is true...I need to hold someone and be held, at least once in a while, get a good snuggle in, to get so close and hold you there...to feel you hold me and not let go...I guess I just crave the kind of strong love and nurturing I needed from my mother but didn't get, or the strength and grounding I needed from my father and didn't get, and the solidity and unending quality parental love is supposed to have that I didn't get...I don't know, I just know that it hurts and I don't know how else to explain it...and I could probably never ask anyone to do that or be that for me...even if I really wanted it to be them...I'm just too fucked up for someone to love me....but I wish they would sometimes..."

awwhh, i thought Tegan did really good. I mean, yes she messed up, but I couldn't say anything about it because, just going up there in front of all of those people is a challenge so..

Excellent job Tegan!!

the quote under my comment you mean??? I did... do you like it? I think a couple parts might not be quite clear yet so I might need to change the wording in a couple places but for the most part I like it...:-) ---------------------------------------------- "Sometimes, I don't think I can love, but what the hell, maybe I can.
