“SP book” Akan Dirilis 2 Bulan Lagi

Wah, udah lama admin kagak post di blog, maaf yah dikarenakan admin lagi sibuk ngurusin masuk kuliah. oke langsung ajah admin mau share tentang rencana Simple Plan bakal rilis buku 2 bulan lagi, meskipun tanggal yang pasti belum di tetapkan, tapi sudah menjadi rahasia umum kalo buku akan keluar pada bulan November 2012. Simple Plan berencana merilis “buku” – sebuah proyek yang telah dijanjikan kepada semua fans SP selama beberapa tahun terakhir ini. Oke, karena buku sebentar lagi akan keluar, maka admin akan meringkas apa sih yang ada di dalam buku tersebut nantinya.

Buku ini (walau sebenernya ini album foto yg dalam bentuk buku, kalo di kanada sana bilangnya photobook) yang isinya tentang dokumentasi sejarag lengkap dari Simple Plan. ini pada dasarnya akan terlihat seperti lembaran memo besar termasuk artikel tentang band yang ditulis ole Kathleen Lavoie, surat tulisan tangan, tiket pesawat, foto foto dibelakang panggung. Sejak band mulai tur, sudah lebih dari 30.000 foto yang mereka simpan, dengan sang fotografer Patrick, Sim, Chady dan Mark Staubach, sehingga mereka cukup memiliki banyak pilihan foto untuk ditaruh di dalam proyek buku yang spesial ini. Secara total halaman buku ini terdiri dari 315 halaman.

Saat ini, orang orang masih bekerja finishing untuk buku ini. Chuck sendiri pernah ngetwit bahwa dia dan Fred Jerome ( desainer grafis Simple Plan) yang bekerja hingga tengah malam. Sampe nglembur dah tuh mereka *saluut*. Sim juga berkomentar ini akan menjadi buku yang keren sekali.

Jadi para Astronaut Indonesia sudah gak sabar pengen beli buku ini? semoga dipasarkan juga di Indonesia, jadi mulai sekarang kita menabung buat beli buku ini.

Learn more of Montreal with Pierre Bouvier! (with translation)

With the translation:
Hi, my name is Pierre Bouvier from the band Simple Plan and for me, Montréal is a very special city for different reasons. One of the reasons is the “Vieux Montréal” and the “Vieux Port” (old Montréal and old harbor). Some places are very unique compared to the rest of North America. I’ve travelled all around the world and when I get back here, I realize how special it can be. The vibes we find in the streets, the fact that they’re old paved streets, nice little shops, some nice art galleries,… It’s really a special and magic place with a certain vibe you don’t find anywhere else. In the “Vieux Port”, you can find the science museum, IMAX and shows. There’s also the “Place Jacques-Cartier” where people put up small shows for the pedestrians. It’s very exciting! It’s the perfect place to go for a walk or have some ice cream. Especially in the summer when the weather is really nice with lovely temperatures. There’s water, there are boats, everything! It’s really a great place to be!

What sets Montréal apart from other cities is, I think, because of the food, the restaurants. It’s one great thing about Montréal. There are so many nice restaurants to have lunch, dinner or just coffee. For those who are looking for something typically from Montréal, there are 3 things: the smoked meat, “la poutine” and the bagels. To have smoked meat, I prefer going to “Lesters Deli”. It’s so good! A real classic. Another thing you can’t really find anywhere else, are the bagels. Some places make really nice bagels but for me, “St Viateur Bagels” makes the best Montréal bagels. They’re always busy making some, it’s incredible! These bagels are really worth it! Considering the poutine, it’s not very complicated because it’s made everywhere. It’s very good, especially after a night out with friends. “Une bonne poutine, oh yeah!”

What’s also fun about Montréal is the fact that there are so many different neighborhoods which all have their own seal. There’s the Mile-End, the Plateau Mont-Royal, the Vieux Montréal, the Marché Atwater,… There are so many things to see, it’s accessible for everyone: there’s the subway, even bicycles called Bixi for what you pay a couple of dollars for 24 hours of travelling around all the different places.

So, as you all have seen, there are so many incredible things to visit here in Montréal. There’s food, good vibes, nice people, architecture, landscapes,… Come see it yourself. Montréal is incredible!
