Exclusive: Kennedy Brock Talks About "This Is Real Life"

The Maine wrote a book! Well, sort of. "This Is Real Life" is a non-fiction compilation of photos, tour diary entries and fanart from the band's stint on Warped Tour 2009.

Buzznet got the chance to have a quick chat with Kennedy Brock about this little masterpiece.

Buzznet: Did you guys know before you went on Warped Tour that this book was
going to be created? Or do you all just keep tour journals anyway?

Kennedy Brock: We had talked about making the book before Warped Tour, We basically
had an idea for what it was going to be, but since then it really has
turned into an awesome project. We all knew we were going to keep
journals we just didnt decide on how they would be compiled together
until later.


Buzznet: Was it hard to pick with fan artwork/letters went into the book? How
DID you decide?

KB: It was really difficult, we tried to put in as many things as we
could, and stopped when we ran out of room, so there was not any
judging involved.


Buzznet: If you could encourage another band to make a book like this, who
would you choose?

KB: Good Charlotte


Buzznet: Does flipping through the finished product make you miss warped tour
at all? If so what part of Warped Tour?

KB: It definitely does, It makes me relive the craziness of the tour. It
reminds me most of the feeling any tour gives me, accomplishment.

Buzznet: if each member of your band were to write their own books, what
would each member write about? What would YOU write about?

KB: I'm not sure what the books would be about, possibly there would be a
picture book, a zombie book, a self help book, a cooking book, and I
would like to write a mystery.


Buzznet: If you were to have your own book, what would the title be and in
what city would you do your book signing?

KB: It would be called "Your Alive, Act Like It" and i would do my signing in Tempe.


Buzznet: Who is getting this book as a Christmas gift this year?

KB: My Cousin Michael Pablo, age 15, from San Fran.

 

The book comes out on 12/14, but the Limited Edition Pre-Order is going on now. Get on it!

Jeez, I really hope this band does not become too caught of with doing little "goodies" and less focused on their music...
Going to give this book as a x-mas gift to little cousins since they already have the Jonas Brothers one

"picture book, a zombie book, a self help book, a cooking book, and I

Picture book-John?
Zombie- Garrett DUH!!!
Self Help- Jared?
