Hey...I think I'll start a backlog of the Whassup Dialogues here. Not sure if Ace High has one going on, but it could be for everyone who doesn't get them :-) Brace yourselves though girls, Ryan is a total block of cheese sometimes.

PS- I adore Ryan, as I'm sure most of you do, but hello? Crush on your brother much? :blink: Smilies provided by moi.

WHASSUP DIALOGUES!!

by Ryan Young July 16, 2006





Whassup Everybody!! :w00twave: :w00twave: :w00twave:



No, I am not orphaned, not really. :cry: Yes, Ace is finally on the Idol Tour and will be until approximately September 24th when the Tour concludes somewhere in Pennsylvania. Apparently he plans to hitchhike back to LA so, if any of you are out for a drive at that time with nothing to do for about 10 days, keep a look out for a kid with long wavy hair, jeans and big buckle, dirty T-shirt and a sun-burned thumb, probably on his right hand. Give him a lift, please, so I can stay here and tend to business. :sleep:



I did travel to Manchester, NH on July 5th to see the first two shows and had a blast! Friends from Vermont came down to visit and saw Ace live for the first time. No fraternal pride here but, damn, Ace is powerful in concert!! :wub: The crowd, 10,000 strong, really came alive when he performed...lots of screams and cheering. It was especially interesting to note the response of those who were not Ace fans during Idol...Ace is winning them over in big way. I got to spend several hours with Ace and with his Idol cohorts. Great time...they really are like a big family. Lots of kibitzing, joking around and obvious affection. Ace loves these kids and that will mitigate much of the tedium of 60+ performances in the ensuing weeks. :heartbeat:



I'm incredibly busy here in my own pursuits, and am still up to my ears with Ace's career demands. :omg: Planning for his future is at critical mass and, fortunately, we have input from some highly qualified close friends in the industry who keep us informed and on the right track. Mistake avoidance is key here.



Once Ace left LA I thought I'd purchase a TV Guide and see if there is still any programming worth watching on television anymore. I still haven't done that and my screen is still dark. If any of you see Ace on TV anywhere, send me a link!

:sleepless:



I have to admit that I'm not a total slave to my work. :no: Once back from NH I took a day off and played golf with my pro buddy who just humiliates me...shooting in the 60's! And I got to a Pearl Jam Concert with another buddy. :music: They're always fantastic. Back to golf...have to mention that our Dad, playing with his best firend in Denver, scored back to back eagle 2's from the fairway on two consecutive par four holes. I've never heard of that before and he admits that he's never had even one fairway eagle before, let alone two in a row. So we bought Lotto tickets that day hoping the luck would carry over :pray: ...nada! :unsure:



I do hope to attend a few shows yet this summer. It's great fun to watch the fans' response to Ace and his Idol buddies...especially the kids in the crowd. They are in another world for two and a half hours! Then they wait outside for two hours just to see the Tour Bus leave with their Idols. Ace and Chris always stand by the bus window to wave to them, a "thank you" for their support. :thankyou:



BTW, since the last Whassup Dialogues, Ace has appeared on the Red Carpet for the premier of The Pirates of the Caribbean and for the BET Awards Dinner, several interviews, including Ace and Chris interviewing with Rita Cosby of MSNBC in NY this last weekend (http://video.msn.com/v/us/v.htm?g=B978325C-7860-4D1E-943A-B640DD30DCFF&f=msn-l&fg=copy ). I know you all saw the People Magazine feature of him in their special 50 Hottest Bachelors Edition...what a great picture! :10:

Thanks to you all who provide us with photos from the tour:


*insert pictures he didn't correctly code for HTML as usual* :wall:

They are great!! We will catalogue these and establish a pictorial chronology of the Summer of 2006...Ace's career launch! I've included a couple of pictures of Ace here as a reminder of what a great talent and great guy he is and that he deserves our support. We really rely on you all. I love you guys, :cheekkiss: Ace loves you guys, :ace6: and we'll continue to keep you abreast of his goings on.


Your loyal friend, Ryan

Subject WHASSUP?!?!?! WOO! GOOOOOD NEWS!! READ!
Body: This was posted by Duff over at AI and it's soo exciting!! =D -->


Whassup Everybody!!



I can’t heeaar you! WHASSSSUP EVERYBODY??!!



OK, That’s better! Where have you all been? Huh? Hey, I’m kidding! I guess it seems like I’m the one who disappeared ‘cause it’s been a while since the last Dialogues, but we’ll start catching up now.



This will be short and sweet but I promise a detailed missive within the next two weeks. Ace just flew in today from New York where he’s been holed up with his co-writing buddy and alter ego, Elvio. They’ve been writing up a storm and finishing several works in progress from Ace’s time on the Idol Tour. Ace wants to send a huge “Thank you” to all of you who showed up for him with such love and enthusiasm throughout the 90 day Tour. He feels he made hundreds of wonderful friends and wants to stay in touch with you all.



Ace and I hit the gym tonight together for the first time in a year. Fortunately, the only muscles of mine that don’t hurt right now are in my fingers, so I can type this at least, but first I’m gonna grab some Advil.



ANNOUNCEMENTS!



Ace is performing Thursday night this week ( the 5th -tonight) in Anaheim at 5:30 PM at City Hall outdoors. This is a birthday celebration for the city of Anaheim and it’s free!! He’s singing Scattered, Father Figure, and another original song that he’ll debut there, so fire up the riding lawn mower and get over there…and plan to say hello!



Oh yeah, tomorrow morning he’ll be on KTLA television in LA at 7:40 AM.



Lots and lots of exciting developments that I’ll share in our next correspondence. However, the reason for this short note is to announce to you great friends that Ace’s single, Scattered, is being released nationwide this week and early next week to major radio markets with a focus on the venues that he touched while on the Idol Tour. This is big! And we really need your support. When you hear it in your market, call the station and request that they play it again. We’ll have a tie-in to I-Tunes, too, so you can encourage your friends to jump on that by Friday.



BTW, the initial response from the station managers who have received the CD is overwhelmingly enthusiastic. I think that they’re surprised to hear such an original and creative piece from an Idol celebrity. Remember how I used to preach that the Ace you’re seeing on Idol is not the artist that we’ve known for years. Don’t misunderstand me, Idol was a fantastic opportunity for Ace to introduce himself to the American public, but he had to play by their rules. Now we are going to celebrate his original music with him as he introduces us to these great new songs.



Ace is free now!! Hallelujah…this is what we’ve all been waiting for! Together, we can make this happen. Thanks for hanging out with us.



I’ll be back in touch soon.



Your loyal friend, Ryan



PS, Please send this to every literate person you know. In fact, send it to your illiterate friends, too, as long as they have access to someone who can read!

I'm so excited! Great things are beginning to happen! I can barely wait to get the single.

:jump: :bliss: :wheee: :yahoo: :woohoo:

We have been posting the Whassup Dialogues all along. I just merged them all together and pinned them so they are easier to find. Since these are news about Ace, they are in Ace General Discussion - "Across The Board". :ace5:

Well I couldn't remember where it went so I just stuck it here. Am I gonna get a detention now for having it in the wrong place? Can Ryan be the one who has to make sure I am not bad anymore?

dUDE..IF I HAD A RIDING MOWER? IT WOULDN'T TAKE MY MOM AND I 45 MINUTES TO MOW THE FREAKING GRASS. I NOW TAKE AWAY ACE'S AWARD AND GIVE "TOOL OF THE YEAR" TO RYAN! THAT'S OUR MAN. :rolleyes:
