NAME:
Brad Panagini Gordon
CLASS YEAR: 2010 but graduating early.
MAJOR/MINOR: American Studies, Sociology, and Public
Policy
POSITION: staff writer
SHORT BIO: I'm also from a small as town in Vermont, in fact,
it's the same small town. When I'm not busy brewing my own maple syrup,
eating cheese, or wearing flannel I'm here writing for the martini. I'm
also taking five classes so that I can graduate a year early and go out
into the world where I'll continue to go on living without knowing what
I want to do. What I do enjoy however, is taking everyday occurrences
to the realm of the absurd... you know how there's that line in civilized
society, yeh I'm that guy that crosses it. Welcome to the martini.
NAME:
Lila Feldman
CLASS YEAR: 2010
MAJOR/MINOR: unknown
POSITION:
SHORT BIO:I am from beautiful Fishkill in the lovely Hudson Valley
of New York. I plan to major in dance and in biology with a focus on nutrition,
and hopes to be working in either one of those fields one day. I enjoy
working with martini because she likes to write and because it's
a medium for discussion of many different issues, on and off campus.
NAME:
James McCue
CLASS YEAR: 2010
MAJOR/MINOR: jewelry design
POSITION: staff writer
SHORT BIO: My favorite things to do include coloring, ice skating,
and making collages out of autumn leaves. I secretly hate the color purple
because it reminds me of plums, a fruit that I'm deathly allergic to.
I'm from a Dallas and I was the 129th student in a class of 135, which
I think is quite an accomplishment considering I'm now a student at HWS.
I probably got in because my father is Gearan's crack dealer.
NAME:
Andrew Griffin
CLASS YEAR: 2010
MAJOR/MINOR: Elementary education.
POSITION: staff writer
SHORT BIO: I'm legally required to tell everyone I know that
I'm a convicted 14th level child molester. Now that I've put that 'out
there', I am a sensitive guy with a passion to teach kindergarten after
I finish my Master's in Education here at HWS. I have hazel colored eyes,
unless I'm wearing a green shirt, in which case my mom tells my my eyes
are 'pure emerald'. I write for the martini because it's the only student
publication that doesn't mind the bad publicity, probably because its
such a piece of crap. I'm from a small trailer park in northern Florida
and didn't know how to read until I turned 16, and I hate the snow here
in NY, so in the winter I tend to stay indoors, curled around a cup of
hot chocolate and the newest Harry Potter book. My favorite color is beige,
if you want to know.
NAME:
Ashley Yang
CLASS YEAR: 2011
MAJOR/MINOR: Ornothographical studies
POSITION: staff writer
SHORT BIO: My name is Ashley, I love writing for the martini
because at every meeting Cristina brings martini's and I love
to get sloshed. I like every variety of martini...and every variety of
drink for that matter. I once made a beer can pyramid big enough to put
a sleeping bag in, which I did that year I was living under a bridge.
Beer cans, incidentally, are not great protection from the elements, especially
at home in North Dakota. I have four rats hidden under my bed, and so
far my roommate hasn't been able to find them. Dolores (one of the rats)
escaped last week. I have a strange obsession with stapling things, which
isn't strange when you consider how much better staples work at holding
a document together than paper clips. My dream is to one day own my own
rat store....which is like a pet store, except it only has rats.
