Amazing video Ryan. I'm so proud to be a fan. #breathe4jobs is trending on twitter! <3

WHOHOO! SO EXCITED to see you in Providence!

Ryan, thank you so much for sharing this. I never had a chance to meet Anna, but from this I see how much she means to you. She will always be with you through your music. I'm so glad that you were able to go to the wake and meet her family. This made me cry this morning - its a beautiful tribute.

Saw Ryan at Hampton Beach with Collective Soul. Had an amazing time. Managed to be about 3-4 people back from the stage during his set and then watched Safety Suit and Collective Soul from off to the side. The cool thing about the Casino Ballroom where the show was is that it's very open, so no matter where you are in it, you can see. You don't HAVE to be up front. Ryan was on FIRE, sang Brand New Day, Right Now, Breathe, Last Train Home, Psycho Suicidal Girl and I think 1 other song that I don't know offhand. Talked to him for a long time afterwords too. He recognized me from the Northampton David Cook show and we gabbed and hung out and I met up with some other people who I didn't know were going to be there, but I knew. So that was fun. I'm hoping he comes to Boston soon and when I asked him about it, he said that they didn't fuck around and to be on the lookout. So maybe we'll get a headlining show up here soon? Because 6 Ryan songs are just not enough. When I talked to him, I asked him when the new album was coming out and he said not for a little while because they want to get the music out on the radio first. I told him that kcradio.com has been playing Breathe and Last Train Home, and they were the ones who originally premiered it when it dropped because we had bugged Kelly and Joel to do it. Ryan was really touched that we’re pimping his music, and well, he deserves it. I told him that him singing TOML to David was one of the funniest things I have ever seen, and he laughed and I got a high-five. I also told Ryan that we missed him on David’s tour and he said to put a bug in someone’s ear about getting him back with David. I told him that Tara from St. Louis said hi and he was like, “I think I know who that is.” And then I told him that he had called her trouble (or something) and he laughed and said “tell her I’m onto her. She doesn’t scare me”. He was sweet enough to sign a poster for me since I didn’t have enough cash on me to get the Breathe EP and I wanted something actually signed by him and not drawn on, like he did the last time. He asked me what I meant about that and I said that he drew on my CD back in Northampton and didn’t sign it. He laughed and was like, “Oh yeah” and then signed my poster for me, instead of drawing on it. I stayed through Safety Suit and Collective Soul’s set, and ended up back over talking to Michelle waiting to say goodbye to Ryan before I left. Michelle and I actually realized we knew each other from the Ours show that we had both gone to in Boston so we were standing around talking so Ryan could finish signing CD’s and security came over to try to kick us out. Michelle showed him her all access pass and told the guard that I was with her. He left us alone for awhile and then about 20 minutes later started hovering, so I said a quick goodbye to Ryan and headed out, getting home at 1am. It was totally worth going and sitting in traffic for 2.5 hours to get to Hampton after work. Collective Soul puts on a HELL of a show. They’re really good and Safety Suit was fabulous as well (plus the lead singer is gorgeous). So, if you get the chance, you should go.
