Below, some seasonal news about Tegan and Sara (who roll into town Jan 18) but before i get to that a very important cautionary tale. On a recent Dan Savage podcast (Dec 24) he encouraged his audience to get out of the house. It’s not gonna get any better if you stay inside the house he said, with his usual adorable gusto. And his advice holds true for this time of year too—on NYE, there are tons of single gays just waiting to take you home or at least have a drink and a chat with you. But that can’t happen if you’re at home feeling shitty about yourself. So leave! And listen to Savage’s podcast, it’s brill: click here to download it from iTunes.

Meanwhile, Tegan and Sara are in the studio with Margaret Cho doing God knows what.
