December 06 Under The BleachersIt's four in the morning. I can't sleep, so I took the tv out of the
closet where I hid it only hours before so it would be out of sight out
of mind while I was writing. I pulled it out and I am now watching The
Graduate for the first time. I grew up on the sounds of Simon and
Garfunkel and am now asking myself why was it has taken so long to see
a movie I would have always loved? Writing is going well. I have been continuing to collaborate with an old friend named Max Collins. Max was from a band called Eve 6 who are known for some hits including one of my favorites "Here's to the Night". In high school I actually hated them out of jealousy. I would hear their song Inside Out on the radio while my band Stage was trying to make it. Out of juvenial competition, I would just convince myself they sucked because they were similar in our young age but way ahead of us in commercial success. Stage went on to open for Eve 6 on tour and learned how great they really were. Max and I bonded on our love of Evan Dando and the Lemonheads and kept in touch. It has been one of the most incredible musical experiences writing together. In a way he is a muse for me because I feel at my best often when we are sitting in the same room. For all those in LA. Thursday night I will be at the knitting factory to support and even more, enjoy my friends Max and Tony play in there new band called The Sugi Tap. www.myspace.com/sugitap Pick up the pieces is incredible - check them out. Knitting factory thursday night (dec 7). Is that pearl harbor? 9 pm I will be there enjoying a night out on the town so come say hi and meet another great band. Hope to see you there. If you go to their page tell them ryan sent you. (Special treatment). Anyhow. I will now press play and try to get some sleep but not before I hear those famous lines. Mrs. Robinson, are you trying to seduce me? December 03 Back in CaliJournal 12/02/06 Esquire house 360 It was good to be home for a few days. I returned from Bali to get home in time for a nice family dinner and then a show at the crazy donkey. I was so jet lagged that I slept right through the dinner. I woke up in a panic when the phone kept ringing and I missed the whole day. I am actually still adjusting. I am on vampire hours these days. The taste of blood is the only thing missing at this point. Thanks to all who came out for the Thanksgiving Day show. It was the last one of the year and it was so awesome to see everyone. Also thanks to everyone who stayed late. We partied in the venue and I played a few acoustic songs. Even some songs from the Stage days. Good times. So, now I have arrived in LA to do some writing and have some meetings for the new album. Yesterday I did about twenty interviews with different radio stations because vh1 has their awards show tonight and a lot of them are in town. You might hear something on your local station. I also did some stuff for vh1. I was in the room with weird al, ice t, and the fray. Crazy cast of people. Last night I hit this Save The Music Party at the esquire house 360 in Beverly Hills. Check it out online. It was insane. Each room was decorated to the max by a sponsor. Got to meet Jon Mayer, Matt Kearny, and the boys from Lifehouse. It was a fun night and we all just took in the beauty of the view and chilled. You might spot some red carpet photos of me around. I even smiled a little. So. Day one done. Now I will take the party hat off and be in record mode. I can't wait to fill you in. Talk soon, While I am recording I need you all to be spreading the word. Thanks for reading. Ryan Ps. I am so happy I did that tour. I will never forget the people I met. You are all so special to me. November 17 Rocking Malaysia Writing to you from the
airport in Singapore. I played in KL Malaysia last night. To all those
who helped make it a memorable sold out televised event thank you. My
favorite part was in the encore when I was stomping my foot on the
stage with the goal of putting my foot through it during "Head Like a
Hole.". My foot smashed one of the lights built into the stage and like
a pyrotechnics show the light exploded. It shorted out my guitar so I
had the honor of throwing my guitar on the floor and just finished
singing in the arms of the front few rows. Ryan October 02 RSTAR.NET RelaunchedHey Everyone~ rstar.net is up and running. It's updated with the latest tour dates and information.

I head back to the east coast, some cool dates popped up for me to do
out here and I did not want to miss the opportunity to play for all of
my new and long time fans. No worries about the Starland Ballroom date
even if you already got tix. I am just pushing it back a few weeks to
make sense with all of the east coast dates and then (I can't believe I
am going to say this) we will rock Jersey.
Can't wait to meet you all. ~Ryan

Because of all of you I got to come back as the fan favorite. You all told the world that you believe in me and for that I am eternally grateful. You did it! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. So where to go from here. Everywhere. I will be working on getting out on tour and in the meantime you can check out DARK HORSE the live album I recorded with the amazing house band. Some covers some originals. You can get it through the Rockstar website. It is a fun album. Also I hope you have all checked out http://www.myspace.com/rstar This way I can keep track of all my new friends. I love you all. Thank you Ryan Star September 06 to my new extended family....So. Storm is gone. It is between me and her for the encore. Pump it out if you can. The rumors that multiple votes don't count are wrong. I personally spoke to the show and got confirmation they count. So far the support has been insane but we all know Storm has a huge fan base so let's not take any chances. Thank you so much. My new extended family. I love you all and your support means everything to me. Exciting things happening. I recorded a live album today with the house band and it will probably come out next week. Moving quick for all of you so I can get on the road. Love you all. Ryan. September 04 Let's do this.Wow, I can't believe how many of you have been checking this space out! I am so excited because I am now seeing all the support first hand. I am still in LA taking care of business and hitting the ground running with all of the success that the show has given me. When I say the "show" I am really referring to you who have been keeping my name alive and well. I am officially the controversial one who was eliminated before his time. But I have to say so far it is working to my advantage because a lot of you are pissed and the band and the show itself are hearing you loud and clear. Keep it up. I feel like we have an army out there getting what we deserve.
Like I said, I am out here taking care of business. I did get a chance to go out to a hip club the other night here in LA and it was a pretty insane experience. So many people recognized me and wanted to talk. It was my first time out and it was a such a different life than I was used to. All I could think about was how much fun it will be to come out to all of you and play in your towns. Meet you all and have a blast. First things first. WE MUST GET EVERYONE TO VOTE FOR ME TO RETURN FOR THE FINALE This will prove to everyone that I belong up there. It will prove that my amazing fans are pissed and want to show supernova and the world that we are the real deal. I know this might sound dramatic but we have to get everyone we know to be voting as much as they can. I went out yesterday and got a pay as you go verizon phone just to do this. Tell all your friends. Stop strangers on the street if you have to to BRING RYAN BACK.
I am a loyal person and you have my word when I come to your town we will hang like people. We will laugh about the day I called on everyone to vote me back on but we will also be proud it worked. Thank you again and again for not giving up. List any ideas you have here because we only have a week to do all of this.(For example I love the idea of trading votes with Lukas. You vote for him on tuesday in exchange you get his fans to vote for me for the encore at the finale) Let's put our heads together. I promise it will be the best performance of the year and it will be for you.
You rock. Thanks for making me feel so loved. I love all of you. Talk soon Ryan September 01 Its me RYAN, I am FREE! but not doneWhere do I start. Thank you all so much for all of the love I have been getting. I am a fan of all my fans. You are the best and I can't wait to meet you all when I start touring.
This is my first day of my new life. Free and living it up here in LA I need to ask for your help. Lets prove to the world and Supernova that I have the greatest fans in the world by getting me to return to the show for the FINAL ENCORE PERFORMANCE!
-----
If you don't already know they will be having one contestant return for the final episode and I couldn't think of a better way to end the show. The deal is you need to text the word CRAVE to the number 8917. Then they will text you back asking you which rocker you want to return. Then text back RYAN
-----
We have come a long way and it is all because of your support. What a better way to fight back to the controversial release of me than to have me perform. I need this and I am calling everyone for help. I made my phone plan unlimited texts and I wont stop until I get the call.
Sorry for getting right to business but I know we will have plenty of time to party when this is all over. If I can get on the last show it will only make the parties better when I come to your town.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
The support you have given me has changed my life. Let's do this.
I love you all, ~Ryan
ps. I'll work on making my space nicer but time is of the essence right now.
~ryan
