i don't know if this will come out right. i'm quite exhausted from all the travel in the past three weeks and can't quite think straight.
i just finished playing the last show of the North American part of my I Suck at Life Tour for 2009
these were the cities:
new york
annapolis
philadelphia
hoboken
minneapolis
chicago
columbus
houston
austin
dallas
los angeles
san francisco
portland
seattle
nyc (again)
boston
what an amazing experience. i had soooo much fun and met so many amazing people, and i can't even believe i'm getting to do stuff like this.
i never thought i'd get to write songs and play them around the world. i'm not very good at accepting love and support, and i just can't believe that this many people out there actually care about what i'm doing, and believe that i have something to offer.
it's so strange and i feel quite emotional looking back over these last 16 shows.
i don't think i can adequately explain how difficult and terrifying it is to pursue a career in entertainment, and the fact that i've been able to support myself on music and without a day job for the past year is so unbelievable to me
i feel like such a misfit in this world. most of the time i am angry, sad, lonely, frustrated, tired...getting out of bed is a challenge in and of itself. all the things i have experienced in the past 2 or 3 years has simply been beyond my wildest expectations.
thank you soooooooooooo much to everyone for being so supportive and so nice and so incredible. i'm not really sure how to do what i'm doing, how long it will last, or if i'll ever get to do it again, but this has been an experience i will never forget and i am very grateful to every single person who was a part of it
thank u thank thank u
i blow u a kiss

Jay, as someone who was luccky enough to be in the audience for the Annapolis show, thank you for a fantastic experience. Whether you are comfortable hearing it or not, you are pretty wonderful live, and I can't wait to see you again.
Thanks for taking the time and energy to do a tour. We know it's a lot of work, but we'd come to see you if you played in our towns every week! Stay strong and keep producing these great products and we'll all be along for the ride!
I hope it lasts forever because you're an amazing artist. I think your music is thanks enough.
Thanks for coming to PDX again! We love you! Come back soon! I'm from Boston and still drive like a Bostonian, including speeding! So come ride with me!
joey
Thank you! =)
i would feel weird saying your welcome because being a supporter is nothing i look for a reward in- i feel rewarded for having your music. and trust me- i know it is difficult in the entertainment industry. and with what you have accomplished, you are more of an inspiration and hero to me than i think you know. so.... thanks.
Your humility is very touching and I know it's genuine. I hope your career takes off but not so much that you lose the humility--it's part of your charm. I'm grateful I got to hear you and that we had a few minutes to talk. Next time you come to Dallas, we are going to IHOP!
love, Marcy
Boston was da bomb Jay, thank you again. Next time despite the nice people at the Paradise, Play The Middle East in Cambridge. There is no giant column in the room metrosexual or otherwise and they will let you do an all ages show. Also come into town and play when school is in seesion and i bet you sell out. Summer is dead in Boston.
And I still say play the Narrows in Fall River but I won't hold my breath. LOL

You were fantastic in Boston tonight! Please, come again soon ;)
Jay,
Wish I could give you a big hug till you fall asleep.
our lives ain't been no picnic, you bring a voice to that. You express what others keep hidden. And you are fucking good at this music shit.
Sleep now, I am signing 'Rock-a-bye JayBoy' real softly.
take good care...
It's been a long time since I've had a blown kiss aimed toward me--thanks!
Just got back to Cape Cod from your Boston show--a great one,so's you know. Saw you last year in Boston as well-Its interesting how much your performance has changed since then. I can sense that you sing and speak truly from your heart, and it does seem a bit like all of the success and acolades are things you truly can't believe are happening--like it's all TOO good, and surely the shit will come tumbling down again. Maybe it's like a dream, and you can't trust in the reality of it all? (or, I could be overly-tired and rambling?) I guess my point is, lyrics like, "breaking up is hard to do, but waking up is harder" resonate with me. You verbalize things sometimes that I thought too hard to put words too. I'm glad you write songs Jay, and thank you for sharing them. You richly deserve to find a place in the world where you can feel comfortable in your skin, and where "he writes the songs so he can say what he wants, and he can be who he wants to." Here's to feeling sad, lonely, fucked-up, neurotic, and crazy. You are not alone on the Froot-Loop Train, I've got monthly pass.
I hope great things keep heading your way-Jay. Sam
How sweet. Thank you! May you continue to bustB!G and live your dreams!
I so wish I could have gone to all of those shows, but I'm grateful enough to have went to your Bush Hall concert and took a picture with you in person!
I think I'm gonna faint now seeing that 'blowing kisses' picture of you lol. We fans love you Jay, and hope you'll keep on doing what you do best - make goddamn awesome music.
Thank you! It was such a privilege to see and meet you in Annapolis! I know you said it's hard for you to hear it sometimes but you are amazing and great at what you do! And even though I think you are wonderful I'm not gonna say "oh you should be happy/proud/etc" all the time because your feelings are totally valid and I am GLAD that you are a presence for people (like myself) who are not necessarily just happy and bubbly and positive all the time. Thank you for being that! You are fantastic!
I fucking love your face.
Just Sayin...
sooooo awesome! you should be proud of all that you have accomplished over the past year!! you got balls. Time for a celebration party!
Hope you can do a show in Phoenix one of these days, Jay. You're incredibly talented and I'm sure many good things are still to come for you.
thank you for the awesome music, and for such a great show in new york on wednesday. i brought along a friend, and he is now a fan too. get some rest. :)
wow! you don't have to thank us but we should have to thank you for such wonderful talent you share to us.. hehehe.. although i wasn't able to watch you perform live because i'm in Philippines, but i was and am able to watch you perform through youtube..hehehe
thank you for the music :D
and thank you for being so hot and lovely :D
your fan from Philippines,
Lemuel Asibal
Jay, also from the Annapolis show... thank you so very much for giving us the opportunity to see you live. I always wanted to travel to NYC, mostly just to see you do a live show. So when I found out you were coming to my area I snagged tickets right away. I'm looking forward to hearing your next album, whenever it is available. Relax, have a lot of fun, but most importantly, love yourself... because we love you! :) *hug*
I was lucky to see you in Paris a few months ago and I'm really jealous for all those American fans who saw you this month !
You're one of the best singer I know, you're extremely funny and really cute.
I really hope you're gonna realize one day how wonderful you are and how great you make us feel everytime we listen to your songs.
You're awesome ! And thank you for the kiss, I'm sending you one too ^^
From another misfit - you are brilliant and beautiful, thanks for being you and doing what you do. Many days I don't know the point of getting out of bed, but I do, and every once in a while I have a good day and that seems to make it worth while in the end. Love and hugs.
Love you Jay. Glad you had a successful and meaningful tour. Can't wait till you come to Toronto one day. :)
I was so terrified when I reading this note, I was terrified that you will say something like "quitting" in the end. I guess because I am a negative person. sorry Jay, dont hate me.
Jay, please keep doing what you doing, and we (ME) will definitely following you support you, love you, you deserve that. your song are sad but also beautiful and so are you, sometime you might depress or angry or sad and mean maybe, but this is who you are and you're not afraid to showing it to people, to let people know you are also human. this is what we should learn from you. The End.
I will alway love you and your work.
**May**
ps. I totally catch your kiss, I can feel it ^_^
Jay, my partner and I have seen you now three times, twice in Seattle and once in Vancouver. To see you this time, we hopped on a 5:50am Greyhound from Vancouver to Seattle, got a hotel room, got sunburned in that crazy 90+ degree day in Seattle, took the latest bus back we could and then I had to take Monday off of work. Know what? It was worth it 100 times over, Jay. My partner and I actually spoke to you right before the Seattle show, I thanked you for coming to Seattle and my partner said she hopes next time you can come to Vancouver. Thanks for touring and we're ready to reserve our spot on your next tour. Just tell us where!
Awww...that really brightened my morning...
We should be blowing you kisses because you are one of the most real people around.
You bare your soul and make us feel like "hey, I'm not the only one who feels like this."
Thank you for that. Truly.
Jay, don't forget there are Brazilian hearts pumping for you, OK ;)
First off I want to let you know that I am writing this under the influence of substances. You how us Portlanders love them.
I really enjoyed your show. I did not get the opportunity to see you the first time you were in Portland.
The evening was a wonderful time. I love your music. I can not wait till you are back in Portland. I do recommend you check weather.com before arriving in Portland so you know what you will need for clothing.
The heat wave is almost over here.

I was lucky enough to get to see the show in L.A. at the Roxy. It was great. I already can't wait to see Jay perform again! Thank you Mr. Brannan!!

jay,
You were fantastic in Chicago, as always!! If I could swing it-would see you all over the States-glad you are getting some national exposure.
You put a voice to feelings we all have & a cute face, too! I love that you are so self-effacing & "aw-shucks" about your fame-you are not a bitch to your fans-you are sweet & real.
Much love & continued success!!
Tony

No Jay, We thank you. The last 6 months has been so incredibly hard for me. I lost 6 members of my family (that's the reason why i missed your concert in Paris in october although i had the tickets. In the darkest moment Your music ha been tyhe only thing that kept me from breaking down.
Thank You Jay !
