Chaos in the Park
For you old schoolers, that was the title of a ‘Stage’ track from when we were 16. It actually landed us the opening slot for a Bon Jovi show. Yeah, that’s right, Bon Jovi!
Today it was far from chaos. Just a beautiful day in Central Park. Could be a Gatorade ad, I know.
Enjoy the day!

Serious air in the first shot… Gatorade sales would be off the charts with you in their ad;o)

You are awesome!! I have followed you since Rockstar. Enjoy your anonymity now, for it won’t be with you long. Those days of just hanging in the park are going to be short lived, because soon you are going to be at the top! You have an honest and genuine air about you; it is what makes me like you so much. If you are ever in Augusta, GA PLEASE look me up!!!

Thanks for sharing. Looks like it was a beautiful day, the grass is so green! I like the 3rd shot the best, very ad-esque.

I went to NYC July 4th weekend and was going to experience Central Park for the first time, but bad news happened back home so I had to leave pretty much when I got there. Your pics make me really wish I could have gone.
Bon Jovi? I guess Bon Jovi is good stuff, good memories new and old. Love Chaos in the Park, thanks for picking my return jam home from work. It’s been a tough week and that song will help make it better. Thanks

hey ryan, i’ve always wondered about that shirt. i keep seeing it around. can you tell us more about how/where to get one?

The brother-in-law has an office that overlooks Central Park. In the winter you can see right into the Polar Bear cage. It’s way cool! I’ve only been to NYC twice … it’s a great city!
Now … in that first photo … are you shirtless? I seem to remember one of my favorite scenes from Rockstar had you walking around the pool sans shirt too! Yep .. I think I have
that photo posted on my blog … somewhere ….
Oh yes … here it is: http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c93/persiplz/TV%20Photos/203a_ryan_pool_0205.jpg

Hey Ryan-
Gotta love the oasis in the middle of the liveliest city on the face of this earth!
My daughter ran naked in central park when she was 2! Living in NY was the best time of my life- (and worst, we were there for 911)
I miss the electricity!
Can’t wait to see you-LIVE and in the FLESH! Please say you are coming to the Twin Cities-MN… I am begging-
With love,
Kasey

The Central Park is really nice. I really missing going to the park in NYC. I live in San Francisco, Ca. That is cool picture- thanks Ryan
for making me miss the Central Park.

Thanks Ryan for sharing and thanks to Willo too. Bon Jovi I am so jealous, but glad you got to meet him then. Sorry I have not gotten the Dewey Beach story in the mail yet. Sometimes life drama takes on a Medusa like quality, hopefully tomorrow will be more productive and less traumatic/dramatic for all.
