#dec05

this fan met the band several times during the early Fever era and they remembered her years later...

So she went to the San Diego show during the 2005 Nintendo Fusion Tour and then went to the Halloween show a few days later dressed up like Ryan. Her friend said that Brendon hadn't seen Ryan in a while that day or was looking for him or something and genuinely thought she was Ryan at a glance. Another fan who talked to Brendon at the Halloween show said that he mentioned he thought he saw Ryan, but it was just a costume.

Then she wore part of her Halloween costume again when the band was back in San Diego on December 8th:

She met the band again during the TS&SL tour in early 2006 and I thought her outfit there had Ryan vibes too:

And then here's a clipping from a Rolling Stone interview with the band in 2008 during the Pretty. Odd. era... like they had been through so much and had forgotten some details of the busy Fever era at that point, but they still remembered her!!

I think he wandered past Spencer's drums??

yeah it's real. here are 2 different files I just grabbed from my old hard drive (they look the same to me, just saying this is the definition that was common):

It's from The Alley in Vegas on December 26, 2005.

This documentary (which I absolutely hate, it's a hot mess) used some great footage of that show:

That footage is clearly from 12/26/05. I hate how the documentary tries to pass it off like it's Panic's first show ever in August 2005 at The Alley. Also, that clip shows pictures of the band in their practice space before the 2006 summer tour while Brent is talking about practicing in August 2005. Everything is unnecessarily visually disconnected from what's being said that it's disorienting to try to watch. But anyways... the footage of the show is clear and Ryan has a fun vest on yay

Brent Schmidt filmed this show & shared the footage.

Yeah it was a relatively smaller magazine but it definitely had physical copies! That's the February 2006 issue. Skinnie Magazine was a free magazine in Southern California that some Panic fans picked up in local shops like tattoo places, Hooters, and skate shops. The magazine was mostly ads that looked like Playboy meets a car magazine with some beer & video game & snowboarding & boxing type stuff? Not my scene, but there was still a bit of music content so whatever. It was also available to read for free online.

I've been neglecting my magazine folders, so there's a chance I might be able to post better quality images in the future once those are sorted. I don't believe I have this physical issue in my binders, though. Unhelpful dead links I bookmarked of decent quality images are: one, two, three, four, five. So in the meantime, here are a few random crappy images from Skinnie Magazine that I saved in a reasonable place...

The pictures that Skinnie Magazine used in these pages were from the band's July 2005 photoshoot:

The interview above was done at the Troubadour in West Hollywood during P!ATD's string of December 2005 headlining shows. Here's an actual original picture from that day that Skinnie Magazine used in the contents page:
