rip ryan ingram
with a heavy heart all of us in the band would like to send our thoughts and prayers out to maggie de alwis who tragically lost her boyfriend ryan ingram to a brain hemorrhage. we met ryan in sept of 05 at our first show at the roxy. since that show ryan not only became a huge champion of the band but a friend of mine who was always trying to spread the word about our band. the last time i spoke to him was on the phone after our last show at the roxy in jan. i thought i was going to see him there but as it turns out he got busted by the door people for trying to smuggle in a recorder to bootleg the show – sadly he never made it in. ryan, thanx for all your positive support and wonderful spirit – we love and miss you.
for some reason this track comes to mind right now. remember…every band hopefully has at least one super great song. this is theirs and it fits with how i remember ryan
update…5/2 – went to the funeral today and it was gut wrenching. people shouldnt die this young. stay strong maggie.
i can’t believe it’s been two years today since he passed. i read this post sometimes. it makes me feel better. thank you for writing this.
ryan, i keep thinking about you man.
