Go Jed Go!
My friend, Jed Sheldon, just released his first album! Go Jed Go! I met Jed my first weekend at college and we became close friends over the next four years. His gang and my gang accompanied each other to entirely too many keggars during that time, especially our freshman year. Here we are at the ripe age of 18 at one such party. That's him in the red hat, and me just to his left.
As luck would have it, Jed and I ended up in a freshman comp class together and were paired as an editing team. Each editing team had to have a name and we called ourselves the "Gumballs" for a reason that totally escapes me now. Anyway, we used to mark up each other's essays and argue over whose way of wording a thought made the most sense. We were really proud of ourselves, too. We consistently earned top grades in the class and just knew we were each destined for creative greatness. After college he moved to southern California, determined to make it big. Now he's finally caught part of the dream he's been chasing. Check out his tunes.
