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.

Brett Dennen is everyone’s “Loverboy”

By Jacqueline Dautel | gargoyle@flagler.edu

It was one of those nights when I just didn’t feel like turning off the TV and going to bed. The applause of late night talk shows faded, the clock struck 1:35 a.m. and Last Call with Carson Daly began informing me of the best new artists. I had been idly watching for hours until Brett Dennen, and the sway of his fiery red hair, appeared and began to belt out a few of his newest songs.

It was 2009 when I heard of him for the first time. Dennen’s hopefulness was so memorable that when I heard about the release of his newest album on April 12th, titled “Loverboy,” I had to find out what this one was all about.
