First Post Ever

Hello, Best Friends Fans!

On June 1st, 2008, Maren Bean and Julie Picquet became best friends for life (BF4L). The friendship blossomed over burritos as big as our faces at the Upsilon Sigma Phi, or the Union Street Fair. Lee Anne was too busy flashing frat boys at a kegger next door, so she missed out on what will be forever remembered as the best day of our lives. While she'll never be able to capture the friendship that was missed, she, and our beloved fans, can still share the glory of our best friendship through our release of Best Friend Facts.

For example:

FACT: Maren's brother's name spelled backwards is NOTFART
FACT: Julie's wingspan is three inches longer than Andrew Bentley's. (We measured. That's what best friends do).

We now invite best friends everywhere to share in the posting of Best Friend Facts.
