Blackwater Music Festival 2011: Fest Life
By Eliza Jordan | gargoyle@flagler.edu
The Suwannee Park air was thick with a festival fog as people made their way through the muggy campsites. Bustles of festival-goers traveled in lit-up packs, decked out in glow sticks and head-dresses, gravitating toward the music of their choice. Whichever tune drew you near, you went. Whichever stage you felt like sitting at, dancing at, being apart of, you went.
Drumming Away the Monday Blues
By {Joshua Santos} | gargoyle@flagler.edu
Mondays. To some it means chugging lots of coffee and dreading another week of school and work. For freshman TJ Kennedy, however, Mondays mean getting out of class around noon, dragging his drum kit —Â consisting of four toms, a snare, a bass drum, a cowbell, three cymbals and a high hat —Â from the third floor of Lewis House and rocking out on the West Lawn.

Feeling the heat with Bikram yoga
By Lauren DeGeorge | gargoyle@flagler.edu
As I walk into the room, or the “torture chamber” as some refer to it, the heat immediately envelops me. I search for an open spot among the other people. I need to face myself in the mirror. Class begins. It is 105 degrees. The sweating starts. In just one posture I am perspiring. More than in any other work-out. After the “standing series” I am out of breath. I have barely any energy left. But on it goes. For 90 minutes. When the teacher calls an end to it, I am tired, smelly and sweaty. I wished it wasn’t over.
