Over the past year, I have had the pleasure of getting to know this charming duo. I finally decided that it was time to stop being selfish and share them with you all. Meet best friends Dan Pires (left.) and Andrew Tavcar (right.). These friendly, witty, and athletic cuties are pretty much inseparable. You can count on them for a good time.
