I saw the original The Con tour 27 times - Canada and across Europe. I wrote a zine (yep, cut, paste and photocopied) about my adventures. Link to read it online: https://issuu.com/marchingstars/docs/hopaplane Please do remember that I was 18, it was 10 years ago. I was such a fangirl and over excitable about everything. Please do not judge! #teganandsara #thecon #thecon #theconxtour
A few from the Seattle show. We bought new (better) seats the day before. Tbh I don’t really remember this show, I’m still reeling from the train journey to get there. #teganandsara #theconx #theconxtour (at Moore Theatre)
Tonight was incredible. This tour was incredible. @teganandsara - you are incredible. Thank you. Show 63 and the end of #theconx (for me) #teganandsara #theconxtour (at Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium)
If you’re in Vancouver today for #theconxtour, you might want to pick up the Westender (it’s free). #teganandsara #theconx #teganandsaradontlivetogether (at Vancouver, British Columbia)
This is for the 60 (soon to be 63) @teganandsara shows I’ve been to in 11 countries over the past 13 years. —- This is for the 27 shows on the original The Con tour and the 7 shows on #TheConXTour. —- This is for 18 year old me who travelled to shows in Canada and Europe on her own but made dozens of friends along the way (who I still tour with now and who came to our wedding). —- This is for 14 year old me who always knew she wanted a Tegan and Sara tattoo. —- This is for all the memories and stories that I’ll be telling my grandkids. —- This is because it’s beautiful album artwork and the first thing I saw at most of the shows when I ran to the barrier after a day of queueing. —- This is because I’m an adult and I get to do whatever the hell I want with my life, even if it seems weird or stupid to most people. —- This is for the closing of a chapter in my life. I don’t know what’s coming up in the next 10 years but now I’ve always got this to remember how important Tegan and Sara were in this part of my life and who I am today. —- #teganandsara #theconx (at The Warren Tattoo)
Yesterday we obvs made a trip to @wearewildfang. Within 5 mins of getting there they told us we had to leave as there was a private event happening. Yeahhhh, we were 95% sure what that was going to be and we were right! Might have accidentally bought 2 jackets there too when we could go back in. #teganandsara #theconx #theconxtour (at Wildfang)
A few of Tegan. I don’t even know if these are the best. I’ll put the rest in flickr in a few days. I am in love with this new camera. #teganandsara #theconx #theconxtour (at Revolution Hall)
My 60th @teganandsara show. There’s still no place I’d rather be than front row at a #teganandsara show. This tour is so special. #thecon #theconx (at Revolution Hall)
At some point I’ll actually gather some actual words about this tour. But that’s a good few days off, so have some more photos. #teganandsara @teganandsara #theconx (at The Theatre at Ace Hotel DTLA)
Had my mum send up a few of my @teganandsara t-shirts, ready for #theconx tour! Can’t believe these are all 10 years old from the original #thecon tours! Also getting my mum to describe like 2nd #teganandsara tops over the phone was
