-Rob Davis
"it's very unique, but good unique. like, sitting in the park, taking in the blue skies, sunny warm weather, and kids screaming here and there kind of stuff."
-Kacy

kiss your girlfriend in the park sound"

SO. I realized the bio had a lot of inaccuracies because it's not up to date. But I'm not good at writing bios. So for right now, I'm just going to say hey. My name is Dan Pechacek. I wrote the songs you hear right now. My friend Ben See added a lot of instruments while recording Honestly and is now both a great friend and a great addition to the live show. So DSF is finally more than a one man thing! Anything else you want to know, just ask.
Trust me. I want to talk to you. :)

hey remember me? emma? ME! haha, i sent you a message a million years ago and it probably got lost in your inbox, but really.. i have been patient! but it's been way way too long. hope to hear from you soon (:
Oh. That's fun. (: Yay for cousins. I want to go visit my cousin Randy again, she is the only one close to me in age. She is three weeks older than me, all my other cousins are like ten years older than me. I've been up to..working at subway. :/ Not excited about having to keep that job. I guess I'm moving out of my house soon. My boyfriend, he's coming back on the 5th. But has no where to live. Like, his mom is going to jail. And his dad lives in Salt Lake City, but he's still coming up. I'm buying his ticket on Friday. S: So he's going to crash at some friends house till the end of summer, but after that, he has no place to live. So he's getting a job as soon as he comes here, and we're going to split rent with a one bedroom apartment. It'll only be like 500 dollars a month. But we're also in high school. Life is getting complicated fast. I miss being six years old.
Hey man. Was compelled to tell you we're recording again and to check the space in a couple days for some sizzling super-hot new tracks. Or new mixes or whatever. :)
Late breakfast soon. These rain checks are soaking my pockets.
haha alright man its cool. lol But thank you for keeping me updated. Hey and if you are looking for a show at Stonewood you can get one pretty much whenever. I am looking into doing a day of music there on the fourth of july. if you would be interested in playing jsut let me know and we can get to work. -Zach
On my way to norman today i listened to the new cd, and listened to it again while i was moving stuff in to the apartment. Best material ive heard fom you, cant wait for another show, brother.
Butch Walker's really good! He does like, an indie sort of glam. His best songs are Bethamphetamine, and Mix Tape, if ya wanna look 'em up :).
That's so sick! I've heard that Circa Survive is friggen awesome live!
The best show I've ever been to was Hanson! Haha! They've been my favorite band since I was like, four. Then they finally came to Colorado last year :D!
So, what are three things that you want to accomplish this summer?
haha i'm sorry. i just thought that was really funny so i just wrote about it first i guess.
but maybe you should ask the "internet superstar!" to fix up your profile and make it look nice for ya. i'm sure he is an expert on all the codes and stuff haha.
but i've gone to a bands website and they actually put a link on the site to the person that did the whole profile. i don't rememebr what band it was though.
hahaha now that is just silly. it must truly be his goal in life to be a internet superstar if that is his reply to everyone. he must have no real friends :P haha.
but i guess that is true. maybe you could find someone to do it for you? i'm sure alot of bands have someone to do the whole page for them to make it look professional.
The first DC album I fully listened to was Transatlanticism... It used to be my favorite, but then I fell in love with We have the facts and we're voting yes... I enjoy sloppy DC more than well put together Death Cab. :)
well people shouldn't really be looking at how your site looks anyway! they should just be listening to your music. and not focus on the layout haha.
but yes i've never really understood why kids spend so much time posting all of those bulletins so they can make new friends but they never end up talk to those people? it's just another friend count haha.
it's really not all that hard. i didn't take me long to figure out how to do everything hah.
but no i was not added by anyone named eric. but if i get a reguest i will know to deny it! i'm not about to put up with the bulletining nonsense haha.
hahah i do that all the time. pretty much everybody hides their comments so if i comment somebody and they reply like 2 or 3 days later i will forget what i said to them hah.
but i never mind when people post alot of bulletins. unless it's a scene kid just trying to get more friends. then i get really annoyed with all that w4w stuff haha.
