This week, the Interdisciplinary Arts students have their work on display in our very own Elliot Art Gallery.  For art students with “varied interests and talents,” this is their chance to exhibit their films, photography, installations and yes, even musical instruments.  I don’t know how he did it, but one genius IA Major combined his love of music and physics to create a stringed instrument.  I’ve never seen him use it and I have no clue how it works, but man oh man does it look cool.  Another student collected jars of crickets to set at the base of her artwork, which, obviously has to do with nature and the like.  Talk about sensory overload!  They even provided the most delicious iced tea I’ve ever tasted at the opening on Sunday.  Raspberry Mint.  (If you’d like to know more about the IA Major at Eckerd, just go to http://www.eckerd.edu/academics/interdisciplinaryarts/ )

Well, I hate to say it, but I have to go.  It’s time to dig out my spandex and my rollerblades because tonight there is a skating party for Resident Advisors at a local skating rink.  I haven’t been to one of those since all the stinkin’ way back in the 90’s.  I’m crossing my fingers for some Brittany Spears tunes, because, when you think of the 1990’s, can you even think of anything OTHER than rollerblading and B. Spears?
