I just bought your new cd!
I really like the new cd it's so good!
I was bummed that I missed out on seeing you at borders!
I am a friend of Sean Singer.
I met you at the art all night show, I am not sure if you remember me or not.
I am also a friend of Brittany Hartman she told me she just hung out with you not too long ago.

To anyone visiting Ms. Joy Ike here on myspace, PLEASE SUPPORT her latest release. You WILL NOT be disappointed by any means. "Good Morning" is a GREAT morning. To Ms. Joy, Your performance was fantastic and the CD is excellent!!! Thank you for signing my copy and taking a pic with me. I only wish that there wasn't two shelves of books in front of me so I could have seen the entire band. I just have to come to another show I guess!!!

Peace and Respect - Will

Hey Joy,

Congratulations! Everything I've heard so far is incredible. The production on City Lights blows me away. Well done.

I've really been enjoying your first album, but can't wait to hear the new one in it's entirety. See you tomorrow. Woo hoo!
