So, I've been back in Vancouver for a good three weeks and all I can say is - I'm glad to be back. Moving to Vancouver has been the best choice of my life so far, and I'm very humbled to be able to call this beautiful city my home. Even though I'm living in residence now on campus, come summer I will be moving into a townhouse with my sister (also on campus, but much more independent!), at least until she finishes her PhD and goes off to some other corner of the world to continue her research!
Last night was my first real adventure while being back. I headed downtown to the Vogue last night to see Tegan and Sara live for the........FIFTH time! I counted! Since discovering Tegan and Sara way back in Grade 7 (when I was figuring myself out for the first time), I have never missed one of their shows whenever they roll through Vancouver. I would have to say that they are the one and only band that I will see repeatedly, and every single time they are in town I will definitely buy tickets. Their show last night was phenomenal. It's been a few years since they've come out with a new record - since 2009 to be exact...I never would have thought it's been that long, I had to search it...I am so happy to have been there last night. It's their very first show since finishing their new album to be dropped in January 2013, and I consider myself incredibly lucky because they debuted numerous songs that will be on that album! I'll admit that most recently, Tegan and Sara have taken a backseat on my iPod, but after last night, I'm reminded of why I keep coming back again and again, and it's because, without fail, they continue to pump out these amazing songs with such substance and meaning that you can never, ever really forget them. Go check out their newest single, and be prepared for when "Heartthrob" drops in January, because I can guarantee it will be one of the top blowouts of 2013.
