I don’t know where to start. Friday was the most amazing and the craziest day of my life. Yet everything worked out! The organisers of the show were very fond of the band – apparently we’ve “chosen a really good band – they are all so nice!”. Also, our idea of THANK YOU signs in paper hearts was a huge success – the guys noticed already right before Everytime and stopped the whole show to thank us and take a picture of themselves with the whole crowd behind them filled with hundreds of paper hearts (btw I think the photo is still not online anywhere, but hopefully someone will put it up soon: Pierre, if you’re reading this, would you be so kind?).
My interview with Chuck and Sebastien went also really well in my opinion (I will try to publish it today) – the guys were really looking forward to an interview with SimplePlan.cz and Jeff was so jealous of Chuck and Seb that he joined us later as well :) In the interview we’ve covered everything from Mark Hoppus’ mom to maple syrup. So I think you have a lot to look forward to ;)
The setlist of the show was as follows: Shut Up, Can’t Keep My Hands Off You, Jump, Take My Hand, When I’m Gone, Addicted, You Suck At Love, Thank You, Your Love Is A Lie, Astronaut, Summer Paradise, medley (Fuck You/Dynamite/Raise Your Glass), Jet Lag, This Song Saved My Life, Welcome To My Life, I’d Do Anything, Loser Of The Year, I’m Just A Kid, Everytime, Perfect.
Though the most amazing part of the day was yet to come when during the show Pierre started talking about SimplePlan.cz, thanked me and even started a huge applause for the website – it was incredible and I appreciate it so much. You can check out this moment in the following video (around mark 1:35):
The present from the Czech fans was given to Jeff after the band’s soundcheck and he was absolutely astonished.

I have already uploaded a few of my personal and my friends’ pictures from the soundcheck/meet&greet with Simple Plan to the gallery, and you can also find there many pictures from the show itself and also from the “hanging-out” session with the guys after the concert:
