Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias at Loyola!

By Stephanie Rodriguez | March 17, 2015

Saturday night was epic. I mean I’m a girl that always cracks up jokes, even when I’m the only laughing time after time. So for me to see Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias live was beyond perfect! I am so glad that my boyfriend talked me into buying tickets! After a crappy week of feeling super sick it was nice to feel better and laugh my tears out!

Before the show started there were already many, many people lined up at the entrance of the doors. It was worth the cold wait, as we were not too far behind! We were able to get floor seat, but TO MY LUCK I sat next to a tall person (I’m only 4’11). Even though, I couldn’t get a direct view of Fluffy, I was still able to see him perform via the screens.

His friend and the famous “Maaaaaartin” kicked off the show! Following him were two other comedians until Fluffy came out. I cannot express how funny he was! At one point my boyfriend was in tears. Unfortunately, we were refrained from taking pictures and/or videos.

My favorite part was when one student “booed” Fluffy when he stated that hybrids were a good example of doing “good to nature.” Fluffy just said “Oh, really?” and went through an entire joke to shut him up. He picked on him for the rest of the night. Actually, I do not think that he ever got to the hybrid joke because he trailed off saying other ones.

He truly is a stand up comedian because he would just start talking about anything and everything. His jokes were effortlessly! Fluffy went an hour past what he said he was going to perform. At one point he was so fed up with the time he unplugged the timer!

He ended the show with old, classic jokes. He did say that he didn’t like to repeat old material, but everyone was chanting out that they wanted the old jokes! He sighed and said: “Fine, y’all better still laugh, though!” Once he started it seemed like a unified chorus. Everyone knew what he was going to say, and it was so funny!

I am so happy that Loyola brought him to Colossus 2015! The DOP staff at Loyola did a great job; it was such an organized event. I had SO much fun! I cannot wait to see him again.

You Can Ski In Wisconsin?

By | January 29, 2012

This was the first year that I was unable to go skiing while I was at home over winter break. Outside the fact that there is simply no snow this year, I spent my break in Panama. Upon arriving back at school I was informed about another trip that was hosted by Loyola. A day trip to Cascade Mountain.

It was not much of a mountain, but it was definitely better than nothing. It was another trip that Loyola provided to the students and I took full advantage of it.

Sure, the “mountain” was small and the runs that most would consider intermediate, were marked as advanced and expert, but it was definitely the steepest and largest hill I’ve seen in the Midwest. It was the perfect size to simply point your tips down and not worry about losing control. At no point did I wait in a line longer than five minutes. And for only $35 for the lift ticket, rental and transportation, it was a steal.
