What I mean: On Aug. 30, 2007, Ryanâs 21st birthday, he and his girlfriend at the time, Keltie, went to Pete Wentzâ club in NYC to celebrate Ryanâs big day. Because Ryan was the oldest in Panic!, none of the rest of the band members were of age and were unable to attend the party, so they all flew back to California because on Sept. 1, they would be performing in Seattle. Everything is fine and dandy and Ryan goes home with Keltie afterward, but in the morning, he was gone. According to one fan that was fortunate to get a picture with them, Ryan had flown from NYC to Seattle overnight while Keltie was sleeping. The fan said that they saw Ryan and Brendon in a restaurant together, alone, and also said it was raining when they went to get a picture with them. We know this to be true because Ryan is wearing the exact same outfit he wore to his birthday party â he didnât even change his clothes. Many people wonder if the popular Panic! at the Disco song, âNorthern Downpourâ was inspired by this event, Seattle also being one of Ryanâs favorite cities in the world, with lines like, âI missed your skin when you were east, you clicked your heels and wished for me.â Although it could be just pure coincidence â Ryan flying to Seattle to the show two days early, in the middle of the night after his birthday, but itâs considered #ryden lore among fans purely based on how curious it is that Ryan would fly cross country, overnight, to his one and lonely, Brendon Urie.
âOne day, weâll settle in Seattle.â - Ryan Rossâ livejournal, Feb. 6, 2006
