I met Brian at Wake Forest. He lived across the hall from me my freshman year. We joined the same fraternity and eventually lived together off campus for our Junior and Senior Years. Brian moved back to New York, but we kept in touch with a few trips and many long weekends spent in either city. When together you’ll usually find us playing one on one beer pong while listening to a Basshunter pandora radio station, watching Forgetting Sarah Marshall while eating cookout, making short films for our East Asian Film Class, or coming up with pranks/horrible bet punishments that no one in their right mind would do (except us).
I met Zak at Wake Forest. He lived across the hall from me my freshman year. We joined the same fraternity and eventually lived together off campus for our Junior and Senior Years. Zak also managed to turn what I thought was a long weekend on the couch into a 3-month stay while I was finishing my masters at Wake Forest. He now travels the world, but always manages to find some time in his schedule to make his way back to my couch for a ‘long weekend’. When together you’ll usually find us freestyling and listening to rap, playing some random game that we invented, playing DOTA, or doing something dumb (like running head first into walls/public property)/making a bet where the loser will have to do the horrible punishment that Brian came up with.
I technically met Beau at Norwood where I went to school until 4th grade, but he later joined me at St. Albans for high school. We went our separate ways for college, but both managed to make our way back to the DC area and now live just a 5-minute walk from each other. When together you’ll usually find us hosting parties in Beau’s basement (my parents always said nothing good happens in Beau’s basement), playing PDG (at least until Beau flips the board or tries to fight someone), lost in the convention center for our biennial Otakon weekend, or as Brett Favre would say “playing DND with the boys”.
I met Cyrus at St. Albans where we went to school together for most of middle school and all of high school. We went our separate ways for college, but both managed to make our way back to the DC area and now live just a 15-minute walk from each other. When together you’ll usually find us at the annual Egg Nog Party (honestly annual may even be too frequent), at Chipotle on Democracy Ave (AKA Chipocracy), waiting for someone to be ready to watch him chug rum at our biennial Otakon weekend, or at Mikey’s parents beach house.
I met Fais at St. Albans where we went to school together for most of middle school and all of high school. We went our separate ways for college, but both managed to make our way back to the DC area and now live just a 15-minute walk from each other. When together you’ll usually find us grilling on his patio (he grills, I just eat and drink), representing team STA in our weekly golf competition against the Little Hoyas, or chilling by the pool and eating shrimp in Volo’s backyard.
Ryan's God-daughter, Vivi, will be our flower girl and we are so excited!
