"Never again will I pour two, without a third." Ari is an irreplaceable friend and family to Andrew and Sydnni. Whether roommates, or hundreds of miles apart, they will always have an unbreakable bond. The Janet to their Jack and Chrissy.

The title says it all. The best brother anyone could ever have. You could fight that, but you'll have to roll for initiative.

You may know her as "Bink," "Vicious," or "Rhed," but all you need to know is that she's been Syd's best friend since they were toddlers.

Andrew and Shane met when they were barely more than toddlers! From playing with playing with action figures, to finding their first bachelor pad together, to being in each others' weddings. A friendship 30 years in the making.

Sydnni can always count on Jenna to eat the bottoms of her broccoli, and to accompany her on the bravest of adventures.

Weather it be about fandoms, or life, their conversations always feel meaningful, even when meaningless. Friends since high school, homies since Wondercon. An inspirational force, and encouraging friend.

Holly has been throwing shade AND cheese by Sydnni's side since tweenhood.

Brotherhood isn't always blood. Andrew and John go back to High School. Music, Games, and a bond that kept through the years. Whenever Andrew reconnects to someone from HS, one of the first questions he gets asked is "How's John?"

A soul sister and trusted confidante through and through. Sydnni can always rely on Christina for magic and unforgettable adventures. And next level hair game.

What started out as a foreign exchange student in need of a stable place to finish the school year, turned into a connection that not only added Carlos to the Gist family, but he brought along his entire family, to make a beautiful amalgamate of both of them.

An original bestie, Jade has shared memories and music with Sydnni as the "blue to her pink" since 10th grade.

The first friend Andrew made after moving to Northern California. Eddie and Andrew share hobbies of Star Wars, Technology, Games, Guns, and 3d printing. Eddies snarky personality rivals only Sydnni, and helped keep Andrew sane while he waited to move back to So-Cal.

"Do you like movies" were the first words Frank probably said to Andrew, and ever since then, the friendship has grown. Frank was not only a friend, but also a teacher, mentor, and guiding hand in Andrew's IT career, and a fighting voice for his skills and worth.
