    To my friends.

    Words cannot describe the feeling and emotion I shared on Tuesday night on the release of the long-awaited 11:59 at Irving Plaza in NYC.

    To all those who could not be there but sent me kind wishes, I thank you from the depths of my soul.

    Some of you traveled and changed your schedules to be there for this moment and I thank you.

    Everyone who was there in body or spirit knows that it was epic and that, because of you, the moment existed. You are the fuel to this fire that we are clearly starting.

    The collective energy that was felt in that room was nothing short of a religious experience for me and the band. The love there was so overwhelming and one of the best nights of my life.

    There is a wave we are riding together and it feels incredible. This journey has just entered a new chapter and I am so blessed to be on it with you.

    Thank you all. Now let's go get 'em.

    I love you all. I am eternally grateful,

    Ryan

I was there. Thank you. OMG!! It was amazing. I am so proud for you that this day finally come. You deserve everything that comes your way. I am proud to say I am a Ryan Star fan. Hard to believe but that was my first Ryan show. I have listened to many cellcasts though. To make it a better week, I got to see you again on Saturday. That was a great show also (BTW, Thanks for the picture). Here are some of my pics from the release show. xoxoxox http://www.flickr.com/photos/rabrina/sets/72157624661462246/

Ryan, absolutely fantastic show on Tuesday. I still feel high from your performance with Breathe haunting my thoughts each hour. I loved when you pulled the guys up from Stage, never forgetting your roots. You are so talented in so many ways. As I always say, the energy and lyrics of Springsteen combined with the cool funk of Bono. But the really amazing part is that you are all original and comparisons don't really do you justice. Thanks for the high and best of luck with your journey. Enjoy every moment!

I have to thank you for giving your all. You can feel the passion you have for your dream. The girl that I was with did a write up of your show on her Tumblr account. This was the first time seeing you perform and you have a new fan. http://klassey.tumblr.com/ It called "My First Rock Concert" . Once things settle down. See ya Sunday.

Ryan, even though some guys mimic'd me at the show (I was the one that first yelled, LOVE YOU Ryan), I truly do. I admire your talent, your soul and your drive to get this record out there and show the world all of your cards! This is one moment, that I hope will be the beginning of many many more moments that will last for years and years. I was one that was getting impatient waiting for 11:59. But thank you for taking your time putting it out there, it.is.worth.every.minute.of.waiting....I am so happy and proud to be your fan and look forward to continuing to share your journey....Love you, Rockstar!!!

Aw.... You are welcome, Ryan! I feel so loved being a fan of yours, lol! I wish that I could've been there for the release show, but sadly, I couldn't. I feel that you were amazing that night (like always, tee hee...) And I wish i can see you on the tour this year. You have come so far and to think, If you never toured with David Cook, I probably would have never known who you were, lol! Oh well... All of your fans love you!-

Ryan, thank YOU, for sharing your gift of music and humanity. No one deserves all the success that the world can bring more than you. The concert was truly one of the best in my life - and I've been to many. 11:59 is a flawless album and you should be extremely proud of it. I am thrilled to own it, and to be on this journey with you.

Gosh ... you made me cry. ::: sniff ::: I keep telling friends and co-workers who make fun of my passion for your music - that it feels like I"m a proud parents who has watched the past four years as your career developed. I knew the moment I saw you on Rockstar Supernova that you were destined for great things. I'm rarely wrong when it comes to music. You are amazing - not only as an artist but as a person. Thank YOU for sharing the journey with all of us. We are all humbled to have been part of it.

Thank you for such an amazing show!!! I will never forget it! Saw you a few months ago for the first time at World Cafe Live and have been a huge fan ever since... Your words and music are so inspiring and motivating, also really good to run to:). I wouldn't have missed your 11:59 CD release show for anything... You are so amazing live!! I'm hoping to see you play again at the Troubadour in LA in a few weeks, I'll be out in LA fora conference at the same time:) Want to see you again already:)) Thanks again, I'll always be a fan...

"This could be the best time of our lives tonight" I am more than grateful to have been there. You and your music are such an inspiration to me and so many others, and I am SO PROUD to call myself a fan. You are truly amazing, and 11:59 was well worth the wait. It's a true work of art that doesn't just hang on a wall, it speaks to your soul.

It was amazing to be able to be there. I am still in a state of shock. It was such a surreal night. You deserve everything. You pour your heart and soul into everything you do. It was well worth the 800+ miles to get to be there that night. I am proud to be a fan.
