I'm gonna make a long story short.
David had a roommate named Gary whom I had a giant crush on. Gary and I spent a lot of time together talking and hanging out. He would sing songs and tell me stories about his family. The holidays. His mom. His dad. Soup his mom made. Sports.

This person framed them (acid free mats I'm assuming) and put them on his/her wall. So I googled it and found these pictures on a Dave Matthews Band web-site.
How crazy is that? I wrote that letter when I was 18 or 19 years old. It's all about
