That being said, I don’t imagine moving back there any time soon. I’ve been gone from Alberta for 13 years so I have been away long enough to truly have gotten over my youth there and also to appreciate its beauty and friendliness. I don’t know if I would call myself a recovering Albertan… I still love Alberta very much and love going back. Love both of them so much! They are very talented artists! Hmm. Do you consider yourselves to be Recovering Albertans? Why or why not? As an Albertan, the name Recovering Albertans really got my attention. Rae Spoon and Vivek Shraya recently went on the Recovering Albertans tour. It’s a pleasure and a treat to be able to play so many different cities in Canada. Over the last decade we have crossed Canada a million times (usually in the winter) and so I just have a special place in my heart for the audience we have in Canada.
The audiences are so unique and special to us. What are you most looking forward to about starting the Canadian prairie leg of your tour? I’m excited that you’ll be hitting up Winnipeg, Regina, Calgary and Edmonton (my city!) in late February/early March. I DID sleep outside for Smashing Pumpkins tickets when I was a teenager… but I never would have done that to meet the Smashing Pumpkins. I don’t like ANYONE that much that I would wait in the cold to meet them. I also find it VERY strange when people are waiting outside our venue for 12 hours before a show, or at the airport or hotel. From gifts and letters to gifts and art, we’re constantly marvelling over the generosity.
I still can’t get over the simple acts of kindness our audience showers on us. But… we’ve definitely had some pretty amazing moments out here on the road. Too many strange things happen EVERY DAY for me to pick “the” strangest. What is the strangest thing that’s ever happened to you on tour? But it is definitely weird to imagine someone I know with a shrine to me in their house!

I was that kind of young person! I loved covering my walls, locker and binders full of images of people I looked up to. It’s happened! And it was weird! I do love when someone I know frames a specific tour poster or something for their office….but definitely not into shrines of us! ha. I want to know how you’d both feel in the same scenario. You asked Kate Moennig how she’d feel about going to someone’s house and seeing a poster of herself on their wall. I feel like Autostraddle’s fairly close relationship with Tegan and Sara has reached a new level of intimacy now that Tegan’s told me all about her tea-drinking schedule, how her songs are like her babies, and that she doesn’t want me to build a shrine to her in my home. Why? I interviewed arguably one of the two most famous prairie homos – the Calgary born and raised Tegan Quin of you know, TEGAN AND SARA! It’s a prairie homo dream come true! Tegan took the time out of her busy touring schedule to answer all my quirky questions about things like tea, books, and the Canadian prairies. This week I’m a pretty happy prairie homo.
