Simple Plan, two words that comprise a story of passion, courage, dedication and fun. It seems that those years of waiting for the Simple Plan finally come to Porto Alegre were nothing comparing with the amazing night we had.
I was one of the girls who had the huge opportunity to participate of the Soundcheck Party. It was just the best feeling in the world to be in there, less than two meters from the people that I thought I’d never meet. I could feel that they truly are sweet, polite and extremely patient. They are people who cares about the problems that reach other people around the world and give their best to help. I figured out that Sébastien has the sweetest eyes, David has the most beautiful smile, Jeff's education has no limits, Chuck is the most shy and Pierre, well, this one is the most misterious. See them in front of me was to be sure that all my admiration of their work and even for them will never end. I’m sure that the pictures I took with them this night will have a booked place in my mind, because I’ll never forget these moments.
When the show started I really realized: No, it’s not a dream. If I could choose a moment from the show that I’d would like to live again I wouldn’t choose when David throw himself on the crowd, not even when I was able to take Sébastien’s blade (of course that this moments made my night even better, but…), I’d choose when Pierre said: “You know, sometimes you guys are having a bad day or something is happening in your life and it’s a little bit difficult, well, I hope that once in awhile our music can help you to put a smile on your face…”. This one was just the most beautiful sentence that they said during the whole show, and, at least for me, makes total sense, because there were days that only listening to their so subtle melodies I could smile.
While I was waiting in the queue to get into Pepsi On Stage, I talked to people who had come from all over Brazil or, still, from Uruguay, just to watch this show that, according to the members of the band themselves, was epic. When I watch the videos I filmed during the show, it’s impossible to contain the tears, and then they fall down my face, at the same time by happines and wish that this night had never ended. I really hope that this time, the days that separate us from an upcoming Simple Plan’s show in Porto Alegre are not so numerous.
