A far-right gubernatorial candidate campaigned at Orlando’s Taco Bell Cantina, DeSantis signed an ‘unconstitutional’ voting rights bill into law, Demings extended the deadline for renegotiating Orange County’s ICE agreement (again) and other news you may have missed last week.

» James Fishback drew hundreds to late-night campaign rally at Orlando Taco Bell
Speaking of campaigns, right-wing provocateur and GOP gubernatorial candidate James Fishback hosted a late-notice, late-night campaign rally at downtown Orlando’s Taco Bell Cantina last week, drawing more than 350 people, according to Fishback’s campaign. Fishback is a “long shot” candidate who’s been skewered online over racist comments, allegedly dating a minor when he was an adult (and harassing her), and an ongoing legal dispute with his former employer, a NY-based hedge fund. Fishback is mouthy, draws on ultra-online rhetoric (describing himself as a “bit of an edgelord”), and has mostly drawn interest from young Republicans for being willing to be critical of Israel, opposing the U.S.-Israel war on Iran, and spouting off some economic populist rhetoric (like a right-wing Mamdani of sorts). He’s currently polling in the single digits and is up against Trumpendorsed candidate Byron Donalds, Lieutenant Gov. Jay Collins, and former Florida House speaker Paul Renner in the upcoming August primary election.
» Demings extended the deadline for renegotiating the county’s ICE agreement (again)
For the second time, Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings has extended a deadline for federal officials to renegotiate an agreement with the county for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s use of the Orange County Jail as a temporary detention facility for ICE detainees. The county has been trying to negotiate full reimbursement from ICE for holding their detainees since last August. The U.S. Marshals Service, the federal agency involved in negotiations, has failed to reach an agreement with the county, however. Demings initially threatened in a February letter to the feds that the county would conclude negotiations and pursue other legal options, including potentially canceling their agreement with ICE, if they failed to renegotiate their reimbursement rate. The initial deadline for doing so, as set by Demings, was March 13. He later extended it to March 31. This time, he’s basically told the feds he needs to have something to show county commissioners by their April 21 meeting. Holding ICE detainees in the jail costs the county an estimated $180 per person, per day, while the federal government is only reimbursing the county $88 per person.
» Brightline’s union-busting lawsuit was tossed by federal judge
A federal judge last week dismissed a lawsuit filed by the high-speed passenger rail line Brightline in late 2024, which sought to initially block, then overturn the results of a union election involving its onboard attendants in Florida. Brightline argued in its lawsuit against the National Mediation Board that it wasn’t a rail carrier and therefore wasn’t subject to a union election conducted by the NMB, which oversees labor relations in the railroad and airline industries. A majority of Brightline’s roughly 100 onboard attendants, including chefs and culinary specialists, voted in favor of joining the Transport Workers Union in January 2025 after the federal agency ordered the election to move forward. Brightline originally filed a lawsuit against the NMB to block the union election in December 2024. The union filed a motion to intervene in the lawsuit last February. “Brightline should finally realize it has reached the end of the line. The railroad’s multi-year attempt to silence its workers and deny them the right to negotiate for fair wages and benefits has been nothing short of shameful,” union president John Samuelsen said in a statement. The union represents an estimated 165,000 workers across the airline, rail, transit, service and utility industries.
» DeSantis signed new voting restrictions bill into law and was immediately sued
While Congress remains deadlocked on the SAVE America Act that would require U.S. citizenship to register to vote, that requirement will soon become the law of the land in Florida now that Gov. Ron DeSantis has signed the latest “voting integrity ” legislation. The governor signed the bill (HB 991) into law last Wednesday in The Villages following its approval by the Florida Legislature last month. The law requires people who are registering to vote to produce evidence of citizenship, such as a valid passport or birth certificate. It will take effect Jan. 1, 2027. Minutes after he signed the bill, a coalition of voting rights advocates filed a federal lawsuit challenging the new law, arguing it would disenfranchise eligible voters and create unnecessary barriers to the franchise. They
noted that thousands of Floridians lack ready access to those documents. “Florida’s new ‘show your papers’ law is a blatant attempt to add unnecessary barriers to the ballot box,” said Jonathan Topaz, staff attorney with the ACLU’s Voting Rights Project. The bill also requires all voting to be done using paper ballots; requires the DMV to include legal status on any new, replacement, or renewal driver’s license or identification card; requires candidates to disclose dual citizenship they may possess; removes student IDs from being an acceptable form of identification to show at the polls; and requires candidates for Congress to disclose their intentions regarding stock trading while in office.
» Lake County Pride announced first-ever LGBTQ+ Pride fest in deep-red Eustis The organizers of Lake County Pride in Central Florida are encouraging residents of a deep-red territory of Florida to “be part of a historic moment” this month by attending the nonprofit’s first-ever LGBTQ+ Pride fest on Sunday, April 26, from noon to 8 p.m. The Lake County Pride Fest is being organized as a family-friendly affair with a variety of food trucks and retail vendors. It’s packed with a talented array of musicians and performers, from the Orlando Gay Chorus to Orlando’s beloved queer singer Billy Mick, drag queen Karma Rose, and other queer artists aligned with Lake County Pride’s goal of promoting tolerance, LGBTQ+ visibility, and creating “awareness and understanding through education, outreach, and acts of service.” A dance competition is on the agenda, too. The historic event will be held at Ferran Park in Eustis, a small, Republican-leaning city about 40 miles northwest of Orlando. Unlike the City Beautiful, Eustis is not a city known for its queer-friendly culture, and organizers admitted that they’ve faced a number of challenges in putting the event together.

THE FOILIES 2026
Recognizing the worst in government transparency
BY THE ELECTRONIC FRONTIER FOUNDATION AND MUCKROCK
For the last six years, a class of journalism students at the University of Nevada, Reno, has kicked off each semester by filing their first Freedom of Information Act requests.
The assignment: Request copies of complaints sent to the Federal Communications Commission about their favorite TV show, a local radio station, or a major broadcast event, such as the Grammys or the Super Bowl halftime show.
The students are learning that the federal government and every state have laws establishing the public’s right to request and receive public records. It’s a bedrock principle of democracy: If a government belongs to the people, so do its documents.
In the past, the FCC always provided records within a few weeks, if not days. But that changed in September 2025 when students requested
consumer complaints filed against NPR and PBS stations to see if there was absolutely anything at all to merit defunding public media. Seven months later — crickets. Now the students are learning to persevere in their FOIA requests even when public officials demonstrate an utter disdain for transparency. And The Foilies are here for it.
Established in 2015, The Foilies are an annual
project by the Electronic Frontier Foundation and MuckRock to recognize the agencies, officials and contractors that thwart the public’s right to know. We give out these tongue-in-cheek “awards” during Sunshine Week (March 15-21), a collective effort by media and advocacy organizations to highlight the importance of open government.
This year, we’ve got a few “winners” whose behavior defies belief. But it’s not all negative. Those same Reno students are also assigned to file public records requests for restaurant health inspections. This semester, the records started to show up in their inboxes within 20 minutes. If every agency followed Northern Nevada Public Health’s example, we could sunset this Sunshine Week project.
[continued from page 9]
The Love Letters Award: Gov. Greg Abbott
Last spring, the office of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott withheld communications between himself and one of the state’s most powerful business figures, Elon Musk. The office claimed that the communications were exempt from public records law because they would reveal confidential legal and policy discussions, including how the state entices private companies to do business in Texas, or “intimate and embarrassing” information. The claims were unelaborated boilerplate language based on exemptions in Texas’ public records law. But if you’re wondering what “intimate” and “embarrassing” exchanges Abbott and Elon Musk shared over email, you may be waiting a while.
Last fall, the Office of the Texas Attorney General ordered Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s office to release nearly 1,400 pages of communications between Abbott and Musk. About 1,200 of those pages were fully redacted — just sheets of gray obscuration. The records that were released don’t reveal much more than an invitation to a happy hour or a reminder of the next SpaceX launch.
The Surcharge, Eh? Award: Vancouver, B.C.
Vancouver residents must now pay twice for public records. Despite taxes already funding the creation and storage of government records, the City Council approved charging people $10 Canadian (about $7.33
in the United States) every time they ask for “non-personal” public records. Officials claim the fee is necessary to deter misuse and cover some administrative costs. The only people abusing anything, however, are the officials who imposed this tax on the public. The message Vancouver is sending is as crisp as a newly minted $10 note: Secrecy is a higher priority than public accountability.
The Shady Screenshot Award: Department of Homeland Security
The Department of Homeland Security’s banner year of lawlessness included back sliding on its transparency obligations.
In response to a request from the nonprofit American Oversight, DHS stated that it was no longer automat ically archiving text messages sent between officials. The department clarified that it had a new, and much worse, records retention policy. Instead of archiving officials’ text messages as the agency had done before, DHS now asks officials to take screenshots of any text messages conducting government business on their work phones.
It’s hard to see the change as anything more than a giant middle finger to the public, espe cially because the Federal Records Act requires agencies to retain all records officials create while conducting their public duties, regardless of format. We won’t
hold our breath waiting on DHS officials to dutifully press the volume and power button on their phones to record every text message they send and receive.
The Discardment of Government Efficiency Award: DOGE
As the Trump administration took over last year, there was a looming threat over government transparency: the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, also known as DOGE.
Billionaire Elon Musk, soon to be the de facto leader of DOGE, proudly claimed “there should be no need for FOIA requests” and “all government data should be default public for maximum transparency.” What quickly became apparent instead was there may be no need for FOIA requests — because there may be no FOIA officers to fulfill those requests.
DOGE quickly went to work slashing through the federal government, including seizing control of the U.S. Institute of Peace. Part of the takeover included restricting access to the agency’s FOIA system and firing the employees responsible for fulfilling FOIA requests, according to a letter sent to Bloomberg reporter Jason Leopold. Meanwhile, when CNN filed a FOIA request with the Office of Personnel Management for information about Musk and DOGE’s security clearance, they were told: “Good luck with that,” because the FOIA officers had been fired.
DOGE also argued that its own records are exempt from FOIA under the Presidential Records Act, meaning records cannot be accessed until five years after President Donald Trump is out of office.
While DOGE “doesn’t exist” anymore according to the OPM, there remains a lasting dark mark on the state of FOIA and records management.
The Secret Eyes in the Sky Award:
Chula Vista Police Department, Calif.
In 2021, Arturo Castañares at La Prensa San Diego filed a request with the Chula Vista Police Department for copies of videos taken by drones responding to 911 calls as part of the city’s “drone as first responder” program. One of the goals was to evaluate the technology’s efficacy and risks to civil liberties.
The city worked overtime to maintain the secrecy of the footage at the same time officials publicly touted the drones as a revolution in policing. That’s some impressive trust-usbut-don’t-verify chutzpah.
The city argued that every second of every video recorded by its drones was categorically off limits because they were law enforcement investigative records. They even got a trial court to initially buy the argument.
But an appellate court ruled that the investigatory records exemption is more limited, shielding only drone footage that is part of a criminal investigation or evidence of a suspected crime. Footage of wildfires, car wrecks, wild animal sightings and the like are not

TEXAS GOV. GREG ABBOTT CLAIMS SOME OF HIS EMAILS WITH ELON MUSK ARE TOO “INTIMATE” AND “EMBARRASSING” TO BE RELEASED.
Q: WHAT CONCERNS SHOULD I HAVE THIS TIME OF YEAR WITH MY BUNNY RABBIT?
Rising temperatures
Even though it’s not peak summer yet, the heat starts creeping up fast.
• Rabbits are very sensitive to heat and can develop heatstroke at surprisingly low temperatures (mid-80s°F can already be dangerous)
• Make sure:
•They’re in a cool, shaded area
•Good airflow (fans, but not blowing directly on them)
•Fresh, cool water at all times
Seasonal allergies & irritants
Spring = pollen, dust, and new plants.
• Watch for:
•Sneezing
•Runny eyes or nose
• Could be mild irritation or something like snuffles (which needs a vet)
Bugs & parasites
Warmer weather brings insects back.
• Mosquitoes, fleas, and mites become more active
• Risk of conditions like myiasis (flies laying eggs in fur—very serious)
[continued from page 11]
criminal investigations and must be disclosed.
The California Supreme Court rejected both of CVPD’s appeals and a trial court bench slapped the city for inaccurate and incomplete court filings. In the end, the city had to shell out north of $400,000 to its outside lawyers, and then paid Castañares’ lawyers more than $500,000 when he prevailed.
So what were Chula Vista police hiding? A bunch of routine service calls, such as unverified reports of a vehicle fire and a vehicle collision.
Now, according to La Prensa’s reporting, officials are trying to raid a public safety fund created by voters to reimburse the city for the cost of its ill-advised secrecy.
The City of Darkness Award: Richmond, Va.
Richmond’s creation of a new FOIA Library may seem like a step toward transparency, but there are questions about the city’s commitment after it left the same officials subject to records requests in charge of curating which records might be released.
Faced with a plan to post all of the city’s eligible public records released under Virginia’s “sunshine” law, the Richmond City Council instead opted to go with the mayor’s alternative proposal. That plan lets the mayor’s administration — the same one that might be the subject of those records — decide what’s worth posting to the library. Instead of providing access to all public records that the city released under the Virginia Freedom of Information Act, the library will only contain a subset that officials believe meet certain criteria, including records that the administration deems “relevant” to city business or that would aid “accountability.” The city cites concerns that “transparency without context” might be too confusing for the average citizen. Forgive us for having more faith in Richmond residents than its leaders do.
The city’s secrecy shenanigans extend beyond the FOIA library.
In an ongoing legal battle, attorneys representing Richmond asked a judge to prohibit former city FOIA officer Connie Clay from filing FOIA requests seeking information about her firing, and sought a gag order to prevent her from talking about the
case. Clay alleges she was fired for insisting the city comply with public records law, describing what she calls a “chaotic and mismanaged” and illegal FOIA request process. Rather than agree to a $250,000 settlement, Richmond has spent more than $633,000 in taxpayer funds on legal costs. The trial and the FOIA library launch are both slated for the summer of 2026.
The Flock You Awards: Multiple Winners
If you live in one of the 5,000 cities where surveillance vendor Flock Safety claims to have established relationships with local cops, you may have noticed the sudden installation of little black cameras on poles by the side of the road or at intersections. These are automated license plate readers, which document every vehicle that passes within view, including the license plate, color, make, model and other distinguishing characteristics. The images are fed to Flock’s servers, and the company encourages police to share the images collected locally with law enforcement throughout the country. Each year, law enforcement agencies across the country conduct tens of millions of
records requests with agencies to get spreadsheets called a “Network Audit,” which shows every search, including who ran it and why. Accessing these audits uncovered abuse of the system including: investigating a woman who received an abortion, targeting immigrants, surveilling protesters and running racist searches targeting Roma people.
In response, some cities have terminated their contracts with Flock Safety. Other law enforcement agencies, and Flock itself, have gone a different direction:
Taunton Police Department, Mass.: The police department told the ACLU of Massachusetts to cough up $1.8 million if the organization wanted its network audit logs — the highest public records fee we documented this year. The civil liberties group filed requests with agencies throughout the state for the audits, and most agencies handed over the spreadsheets for free and with little fanfare. Taunton, however, said it would take 20,000 hours to process the request, at $86.57 an hour.
Orange County Sheriff’s Department, Calif.: The Orange County (California) Sheriff gave a number of reasons it wouldn’t release the network audit logs in response to a public records request. The
hide? Well, well, well, how the tables have turned.
Flock Safety: The company responded to criticisms of its ALPR network by sending legal threats aimed at trying to silence its critics. First, the company used a bogus trademark claim to threaten DeFlock.me — a crowdsourced map of ALPR. (EFF represented its creator.) Then it hired a company to try to get the hosts of HaveIBeenFlocked. com, which hosts an interface for searching these network audits, to remove the site from the internet.
The Database Deletion Award: Muneeb and Sohaib Akhter, formerly of Opexus
Brothers Muneeb and Sohaib Akhter are accused of essentially hitting delete on government data, destroying access to information contained in millions of records.
The government hired a federal contractor called Opexus, which hosts data and provides services to dozens of federal agencies. The company employed the Akhter siblings, though in February 2025, Opexus learned about the brothers’ previous convictions for wire fraud and obstructing justice. Soon after, the company fired the pair. But, according to prosecutors, the two decided to double down on being wildly unsuited for administrative access to government records systems.
The Akhters immediately turned around and retaliated “by accessing computers without authorization, issuing commands to prevent others from modifying the databases before deletion, deleting databases, stealing information, and destroying evidence of their unlawful activities,” according to the U.S. Department of Justice.
The two have been accused of deleting 96 government databases, many of which contained FOIA records and sensitive investigative files. Their indictment alleges that a minute later, one brother queried an artificial intelligence tool for “how to clear system logs following the deletion of databases.” The brothers are also charged with stealing government records and conspiracy to commit computer fraud.
The Brothers Akhter allegedly took mere moments to destroy untold amounts of information that belonged to the public. Though they could face decades in prison, the public may never know the extent of the damage.
The Foilies were written by EFF’s Beryl Lipton, Dave Maass and Aaron Mackey, and MuckRock’s Dillon Bergin, Kelly Kauffman and Anna Massoglia.

THEN THEY CAME FOR ME
Florida Film Festival documentary First
They Came for My College unravels the conservative coup of
New College
BY CHLOE GREENBERG
New College of Florida for more than 60 years defied the state’s higher education rulebook. In a right-wing-rampant state, it fostered a culture friendly to freedom of gender expression, creative exploration and independent thought. It’s for these reasons the liberal arts college long attracted students in pursuit of rigorous curriculum paired with tight-knit community. It’s also for these reasons Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis wanted it killed.
DeSantis in 2023 launched an ultra-conservative overthrow of New College. He stripped its board of trustees and installed hand-picked replacements who shared his fervor for obliterating diversity, equity and inclusion efforts. He pushed rhetoric demonizing the school. He made it a pawn in his “war on woke.”
Board appointee and far right-wing activist Christopher Rufo freely called the transition a “hostile takeover,” while new interim president
Richard Corcoran failed to uphold his promise that very little would change. Students were displaced from on-campus housing while financial incentives were dangled to incoming athletes in a move to “rebalance the hormones and the politics on campus.”
Students and faculty revolted in droves, before they started leaving. In less than a year, the school was gutted of all that made it the singular institution it had been for more than half a century.
Now, new documentary First They Came for My College unravels the school’s political overturn, following the students, educators and alumni who fought to save it. The film made its debut at True/ False Film Festival before heading to SXSW, but its homecoming happens this week.
First They Came for My College screens at the Florida Film Festival on Saturday at Enzian Theater with director Patrick Bresnan, students featured in the film and crew present for a Q&A.
The Florida Film Festival returns to the Enzian and Winter Park Regal for a 25th year starting Friday, with 10 days’ worth of independent films across genre and length (160-plus, all told) on offer.
The FFF includes documentaries, feature films, shorts and midnight movies in abundance, along with special screenings featuring Paul Giamatti and Judge Reinhold. And this doc is an especially notable part of the fest programming.
Ahead of the film’s Florida debut, Bresnan tells Orlando Weekly much of the film’s production team was made up of alumni up in arms for their school. Bresnan, not an alum, says the disconnect made his realization of what was happening all the more haunting.
“When I showed up on campus, a lot of students and parents and alumni were saying, ‘This is fascism.’ I was very cautious about that because it’s a word that brings back memories of the Holocaust and terrible, terrible things,” he says. But his perspective changed drastically when he saw the school decimate its own library collection and student center.
“The school, while the students were gone, just threw away everything from that space. [They] took the sign off the wall, threw away the students’ books, threw away a 20-year library of zines and artifacts from that room like it was nothing,” he says. “That’s when it really dawned on me that this is fascism.”
The books thrown away included thousands of titles about women and gender studies, Black history and Indigenous peoples.
“It’s done to confuse people, it’s done to divide people. The way the administration was acting — it was done to make the students feel less safe.”
FIRST
THEY CAME FOR MY COLLEGE
5:30 p.m. Saturday, April 11
Enzian Theater
1300 S. Orlando Ave., Maitland floridafilmfestival.com
First They Came for My College closely follows students at the forefront of the fight for their school: the campus newspaper’s editor-in-chief, a student threatened with a felony charge by Rufo, a transfer student who finds community amid the turmoil, a group dedicated to the college’s garden (which ultimately is paved over by the school when talks of a new baseball field surface) and more.
“What was happening at New College was very much like the canary in the coal mine,” he says. “A lot of what happened at New College we’re seeing play out now in the world.”
The film’s title was chosen for that same reason. It alludes to the 1946 poem, “First They Came,” a direct condemnation of complicity in World War II by religious leaders and others in Nazi Germany.
Bresnan says the title gives the community ownership of the film. It’s documentation of the first time a political siege of its kind has been seen nationwide.
“What I saw at New College is some of the worst behavior I have ever seen by people in power in the U.S.,” Bresnan says.
By the end of the film, viewers have watched an institution once bustling with artistic expression transformed to a place devoid of its former character. Queer couples are seen being called homophobic slurs by new students, gender studies curriculum have been cut and safe spaces on campus gutted.
The story wraps with one last-ditch effort to resurrect that lost feeling of safety with a student-cast production of Rocky Horror
Behind the closed doors and in a dimly lit theater, students shout, sing and applaud freely. It comes shortly before a graduation ceremony sees many of the story’s key players — both students and staff — exit the campus for good.
“The New College community has been battered for the last three years. The administration has had an onslaught of undemocratic changes to that college and I think before the film premiered, before we premiered our trailer, people felt defeated,” Bresnan says. “These people had really killed New College.”
But going into the doc’s Florida debut, Bresnan hopes to drive home what he saw during filming: “a New College spirit that you can never kill.”
“Bringing the film to Florida is really like reigniting the resistance to DeSantis, to Corcoran, and to this administration.”
First They Came for My College screens Saturday at Enzian Theater with a cast and crew Q&A. Though this screening is sold out, it screens again (sans cast and crew) Thursday, April 16, at Regal Winter Park Village.

New cruise ship Luna’s launch comes at a crucial turning point for Norwegian Cruise Lines, which has seen a new CEO and leadership team installed. Will it be smooth sailing or choppy waters ahead?
Last week’s successful blast-off of Artemis II focused the world’s attention on Cape Canaveral, but it wasn’t the only moon shot recently launched from Florida. I adored my first experience with Norwegian Cruise Line last year aboard the Norwegian Aqua, so when they invited me back for last month’s inaugural Miami sailing of its sister ship, the Norwegian Luna, I’d have had to be a lunatic to turn it down. And even though the christening ceremony didn’t have quite the star power of its predecessor’s — with street artist ELLE following actor Eric Stonestreet as the new ship’s godparent — the NCL Luna shines just as brightly as its elder sibling in the categories that count most to me: attractions and entertainment.
Unlike the megaships that NCL’s competitors have been building lately — such as the new Disney Adventure or Royal Caribbean’s just-announced Hero of the Seas, which are essentially floating theme parks — the 1,056-foot-long Luna has a relatively restrained carrying capacity of 3,565 passengers in 1,809 staterooms; its successor, 2027’s Aura, will only be about 10 percent larger. But these “Prima Plus” class ships’ comparatively compact design feels cozy (as opposed to claustrophobic) while still allowing space for more activities than I could squeeze into my three-day cruise.
Much like on the Aqua, the first stop aboard Luna for any thrillseeker should be the Aqua Slidecoaster, the Wiegand-made launching water slide that circles the ship’s top decks. It uses the
same roller coaster-style launch carriage to powerfully propel riders’ rafts uphill, but the transition into the twisting tubes has been subtly tweaked to maintain more momentum until the splashdown, making this worth lining up for multiple times.
While you are up on top of the ship, play a round of internationally themed high-tech mini-golf; clamber through the Moon Climber multi-story ropes course, which conveniently requires no safety equipment; or knock down some cans in the old-fashioned Midway. When your clothes are sufficiently dry, shortcut 10 stories down using The Drop dry slide — another improved Wiegand product that doesn’t hit the brakes quite as abruptly as Aqua’s installation — and then celebrate your survival at the complimentary Indulge Food Hall with the best Indian tandoori chicken and Texas barbecue brisket at sea.
After all that exertion, you’ll probably want to sit back and enjoy a show, so it’s a lucky thing that Luna lives up to Norwegian’s reputation for world-class onboard entertainment. Although NCL pioneered bringing established titles from Broadway and London’s West End to their ships’ stages, they’re now committed to creating their own original productions that compare to shows you might see on the Las Vegas Strip.
Following in the footsteps of Aqua’s fabulous Prince tribute, ELTON is the Luna’s headlining show, and it may be reason enough alone for Elton John superfans to book passage. Director Katy Tate spent seven years as dance master of The Beatles LOVE (my all-time favorite Cirque du Soleil show), so it’s little surprise that ELTON generates a similar nostalgic euphoria as it fuses fresh arrangements of iconic tunes like “Tiny Dancer” and “I’m Still Standing” with emotionally complex choreography and impactful MTV-influenced visuals. The climactic rendition of “Rocket Man,” featuring an astronaut aerialist gyrating in front of a ginormous ultra-hi-def video wall, combines Universal’s Bourne Stuntacular with Project Hail Mary and was worth returning to see twice in one night; I only wish this 45-minute spectacle was a couple
of songs longer, since they leave out “Levon.”
After seeing ELTON, the theatrical highlight of my trip was my extensive behind-the-scenes media tour of the high-tech Luna Theater, led by director of creative for NCL entertainment Kai Alan Carrier. After seeing the setup for that evening’s concert by Syd Norman’s Pour House band, who have added a crowd-pleasing Eagles set to their repertoire, we were led from the catwalks high above the stage — where automatic systems lift scenery and performers into the fly loft, and technicians aim spotlights remotely — down to the hydraulic pits underneath, where stagehand have mere minutes to assemble enormous U-shaped trampolines for the signature scene in HIKO, an anime-styled acrobatics show that’s long on projection mapping and monochrome costumes, but short on identifiable characters or an intelligible story. The scope and sophistication of Luna’s entertainment facilities rival anything you’d find in Orlando outside the Dr. Phillips Center, with the added challenge of repairing props and primping wigs without being able to walk down the street for supplies.
Luna’s launch comes at a crucial turning point for Norwegian Cruise Lines, which has seen a new CEO and leadership team installed since Aqua debuted. During a briefing, executives spoke proudly about “doubl[ing] down on revenue management,” which I fear is corporate code for cutting labor costs, based on the under-staffing and inconsistent service I experienced aboard Luna relative to Aqua, despite our sailing being below one-third capacity. NCL’s new “It’s Different Out Here” marketing campaign emphasizes the freedom and flexibility of their “Free at Sea” bundles, but I noticed an unfortunate number of nickel-and-dime gotchas and new upcharges (like the adults-only Lunatique, a Temu version of Virgin Cruise’s vulgar cabarets) that will become friction points for guests. Add up enough of them, and they’ll start to eclipse the shows and water slides, no matter how outof-this-world they are.

THIS IS THE WAY
The GoodWay Café inside Longwood’s Magnolia Yoga & Wellness Center works French flavors into plant-based fare
BY FAIYAZ KARA
The vicinity surrounding the intersection of Ronald Reagan Boulevard and State Road 434 in Longwood is quickly becoming one of Central Florida’s most diverse culinary pockets. In addition to Guntur Kitchen (subject of last week’s review), there’s Summer Breeze Roti Shop and its Trini fare, the soon-to-open Holy City Zoo BBQ, Cali hot dog joint Cupid’s, Taino’s Puerto Rican Flavors and, in Longwood’s historic district, the GoodWay Café — subject of this week’s review. The name may sound somewhat pedestrian, but it’s not your typical coffee and sandwich spot. Instead it’s a French plantbased cafe situated inside the Victorian-styled Magnolia Yoga & Wellness Center, a trauma-sensitive safe space promoting a holistic approach to wellbeing.
My friend Andrea had been touting the café for the better part of a year, urging me to take a yoga class prior to sampling the fare. Just walking into the foyer of the wellness center swaddled me with a great sense of calm, and by the time I finished my yoga nidra — most of which was spent in a state of deep rest — I arose reinvigorated, focused and hungry. Leading the good way to the Good Way Café, the pal suggested I try one of their cold-pressed juices ($9). The blend of watermelon, pineapple
and orange with a hint of mint proved a crisp counterpoint to the soup du jour’s ($7) warming liquid vigor. On this day, it was a puree of potatoes, mushrooms, celery, garlic and onions topped with cubed croutons, and I all but mouthward-facing-pigged it into my yap.
The café’s Bordeaux-born chef, Amandine Vibert, moved to the U.S. with her husband and teenage kids three years ago after culinary stints in St. Tropez and the Basque Coast. There was even a stint in France (well, the pavilion in EPCOT) prior to the move to Longwood but, point is, her classical training shows. The galette bretonne ($12), a gluten-free buckwheat crepe filled with a mix of rice, sweet potato, roasted zucchini, chickpeas and red onions, was a textbook preparation save, perhaps, for the square fold as is the norm in Brittany. Those same ingredients can also be enjoyed unstuffed — that is, sans crepe — as a “rain bowl” ($11) highlighted by a base of fluffy basmati rice. A dipping sauce fashioned from Dijon, cilantro, lime and olive oil lent both galette and rice bowl, to use a yoga term, a “little thunderbolt.”
Vibert taps a little deeper into Indian cookery with a chickpea curry quiche ($11) that impressed with its flavor and pumpkin pielike texture, and surprised for its crustless
presentation. “People tell me it should say ‘crustless’ on the menu,” Vibert says. Pastry putain that I am, I would love to see a version with a crust, but that, of course, would add to Vibert’s workload. She currently procures vegan croissants from Tampa’s Curious Cat Bakery and breads from local bakers, including Olde Hearth.
The roasted eggplant on a baguette with red onion and arugula ($12) totally planked thanks to a red pesto anchoring the sandwich. The “oeuf et fromage” ($10), tofu “egg” with vegan cheddar and mayo served on an English muffin, coupled with a strawberry, banana and blueberry “delice des bois” smoothie ($10) accented with lavender and sea moss, will bring out the warrior pose in you. Me, I was ready to corpsepose it after a cinnamon twist croissant ($5.50) and a refreshing mango sorbet ($4) topped with coconut whipped cream. I preferred them both over the blueberry-lime muffin ($4) made with almond flour — the aftertaste of that one threw us.
What lingered pleasantly sitting in that bright, soothing room surrounded by plants was a feel-good sensation, and that’s a testament to the GoodWay Café’s staff. Vibert has done well for herself here and, after a meal here, you will too.

GROWN UP WRONG
Steven and Jeff McDonald are still taking it sleazy as Redd Kross after four decades
BY AZLYN CATO
Growing up just as glam gave way to punk in the 1970s, brothers Steven and Jeff McDonald were playing gigs with their newly formed band Redd Kross only one year after walking into their first punk rock show.
From idolizing rock heroes like Jimmy Page and the Beatles, Steven McDonald — who was 11 at the time — tells Orlando Weekly that it was the experience of entering the late ’70s Los Angeles punk scene that empowered the duo to begin expressing themselves in a musical manner. More specifically, McDonald says that interacting with the OG punkers instilled the attitude that if he and Jeff had something to say, there would be people who were interested in hearing it.
“We were very afraid to go to punk rock shows
at the very beginning, because there was so much being said in the press about how violent it was and how uninclusive it was,” he says. “I actually thought that if I went to a punk rock show, the punk rockers, the true, authentic punk rockers, were going to smell that I was just a weekend dabbler, and they were going to hold me down on the ground and shave my head.”
After trepidatiously attending their first show, the brothers found themselves chatting up what McDonald refers to as “leftover weirdos from the original glitter-rock scene of the ’70s” by the end of the night. And express themselves they did, coming up with glam-punk anthems like “I Hate My School,” “Annette’s Got the Hits” and “Stay Away From Downtown,” while performing
in bell-bottom jeans and flaunting their luxuriously long hair.
The band’s sound notably came from the McDonald brothers’ inability to mimic the music of inspirations the Ramones and the Runaways, forcing them to create their own. And it was the brothers’ assimilation of the various musical scenes of the late ’70s and early ’80s in their music that attracted similarly displaced misfits to the sound of Redd Kross during the pre-Internet age.
“Back then, you almost needed carrier pigeons to find others like you. It was very meaningful, if you felt like an outsider, to find other people like you,” he says. “And that’s always meaningful, human connection is so important, but it was even harder then, I feel. And so to hear that people might feel like we were some sort of touchstone for communities is moving.”
McDonald attributes much of his involvement in Redd Kross to his brother, who, in addition to dragging him to punk shows, would often bring home “bizarre” records by underground American artists. “I blame him for this mess that I’m in on a bad day, and then on a good day, I am very grateful. I’m always grateful. But he was a unique kid, and we grew up in a kind of working-class, very small house,” McDonald says. “We shared a bedroom, and we shared a record collection, and I just was always submerged in this bath

of music culture that he basically curated early on. He was bringing home weirdo records when I was like 7, like David Bowie records.”
Forty-six years later, the McDonald brothers and Redd Kross are still serving up glam-punk records, heading to Orlando this week on their latest tour. What keeps the band kicking, McDonald says, is the rewarding feeling of connecting with people, the idea of becoming a source of joy for others. He points to Redd Kross’ latest self-titled album, which includes a song (titled by Jeff) called “Good Times Propaganda Band.”
“It’s a double-edged sword, because it’s painful to care so much, and then it’s also great to care, because you could be really jaded in the world, and things could have no meaning, and that’s not the case with us,” he says. “So I guess that leads me to continue to want to try to keep doing it and see how many new people we can infect with our point of view.”
As he’s gotten older, McDonald says the most difficult part about writing lyrics for Redd Kross is overthinking the deeper meaning of songs and attempting to not take himself too seriously. Referencing the second song on the new album, “Main Attraction,” McDonald says he’s come to realize that writing about honest, simple, universal truths resonates with others.
“When you come from a punk rock background, earnestness — I think that’s the word — can be one of the most embarrassingly corny things on earth,” says McDonald. “So it’s very hard to say something sentimental and feel like you’re not going to regret it, you know, like, ‘Oh man, it’s a Hallmark card.’ Or, you know, ‘All my punk roots are just cashed in now.’”
Being a musician then versus now is undoubtedly different, from online music streaming services to cheaper guitars. And while it might be easier to make connections with others because of the Internet and bypass the gatekeepers of the scene, McDonald says it’s considerably harder for young people as they search to figure out their niche.
Overall, McDonald says his biggest lessons so far have revolved around cooperation and collaboration with others, which he calls a unique skill of the human species.
“It’s weird when you feel passionate about something, but then you realize someone else feels passionate about it, and it might be contradicting to what you’re feeling and how you’re going to deal with that,” he says. “And then at the same time, there’s always this struggle between, you know, the artistic merit of the lone voice versus the collective.” That’s your cue to get passionate at the pop show with Redd Kross. music@orlandoweekly.com

LOCAL RELEASES
After its heyday in the 1990s, industrial music lost its way en masse. Trends shifted away and the incumbent artists ran dry of ideas. The class that replaced them were, by and large, a generation of Hot Topic cheeseballs who turned the scene into a cosplay goth rave.
Orlando duo TTN, however, are not Funker Vogt. In fact, they’ve always been laudably out of step with industrial trend. TTN are, in ways fundamental and many, the opposite of the goofy gloss that’s ruled the genre for so long. Resolutely on the rock end of the industrial spectrum, they’ve always been rawer and more live than their contemporaries, achieving a mechanical aesthetic without feeling computerized. No one’s gonna mistake these guys for Combichrist.
After an extended hush, the duo of Ben Ryder and Ben Gregory are at last back with their first collection since 2022’s self-titled mini album. The new Illumination EP not only picks up right where they left off, but does so with even more storming directness than ever. Firing far more like a punk band than a programmed aggrotech act, TTN’s fresh four-track assault is a noisy
self-interest, the will of machine conquering flesh.” But it’s also, ultimately, a rebellion against those forces. As it turns out, that live human aspect of TTN’s execution and sound isn’t just a point of style but a matter of philosophy. “It is our duty to never capitulate, never forfeit our humanity,” they say. “Illumination reveals our free will, the aspect that will guide us through the snares of the architects of this new dark age.”
It’s also a work that reaffirms TTN’s place as an eminent rock voice in the current underground wave of artists pushing to restore the bite and relevance of industrial music. Released by Orlando’s Xylene Records, Illumination now streams everywhere.
CONCERT PICKS THIS WEEK
Mac Sabbath, American Party Machine, Hutch: There are concerts, and then there are shows. As prominent disciples in the Gwar school of spectacle, comedy rock band Mac Sabbath are a superlative example of the latter. They sound like a fast food-obsessed Black Sabbath and look like Ronald McDonald and friends in a heavy-metal LSD dream. If none of that does anything for you, well, die a square. Opening will be Orlando’s own cartoon rock gods American Party Machine and heavy fuzz rockers Hutch. (6 p.m. Saturday, April 11, Conduit, $25)

Headbangers Ball Cover Show: In yet another inspired local riff on the usually tired cover show concept, promoter Montgomery Drive has organized one with especially tantalizing possibilities. Between intense post-hardcore extremists Gillian Carter covering Danzig, heavy fuzz-rock dealers Hutch taking on Slayer and melodic emo rockers Like Father interpreting Tool, the prospect of these intriguingly unlikely pairings is, at least for any true fan of Orlando music, arguably more exciting than seeing the source acts themselves. Come see the surprise alter egos of some of the city’s best bands. What already looks interesting on paper could well turn out to be an unexpected revelation. (8 p.m. Tuesday, April 14, Will’s Pub, $10-$15)
Trauma Ray, Glixen, Her New Knife, Knifeplay: This show will be an early stop on the big co-headlining North American tour for Trauma Ray and Glixen, a mighty summit of two young novas of the surging neo-shoegaze class. Texas’ Trauma Ray have risen on the star of their moody audio-emotional duality of ether and grunge. Arizona’s Glixen, too, have rocketed to prominence with a perfected heavy/soft dynamic that’s a lullaby of noise, swerve and verve. But this leg of the tour is especially maxed out with a strong, blade-obsessed Philadelphia pair of openers that includes the noise-infected indie-rock mood of Her New Knife and the widescreen pastoral beauty of Knifeplay. It’ll be a fully stocked evening led by some of today’s finest noise popsmiths. (6 p.m. Tuesday, April 14, The Social, $20) baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com

Swedish dance-pop purveyor Zara Larsson brings her Midnight Sun tour to Orlando, and fittingly for the high drama of her songs, the show is divided into four acts, theater-style. Fans should expect to hear plenty of songs from her latest and Grammy-nominated album Midnight Sun, but fear not, 2010s hits like “Symphony” and “Lush Life” will get their moment. This Orlando show is among the last shows of this current U.S. run, so expect a night of state-of-the-art dance-pop.

They Are Gutting a Body of Water
Philadelphia shoegaze band They Are Gutting a Body of Water heads to Orlando as part of their North American tour for fourth album Lotto. This formerly solo project of guitarist and producer Douglas Dulgarian has bloomed into a modern and collective resurgence of the shoegaze genre. Influenced by the Philly underground scene, TAGABOW’s heavy and distorted spine forms the basis of a uniquely grunge-meets-glitchcore sound. With lyrical themes exploring the exploitative nature of the American dream, from the mundanity of grocery trips to the purchase of a lottery ticket, Lotto encapsulates the zoochosis that is late-stage capitalism. Yet what undeniably sets this band apart is their live performances. Ditching the stage and opting for the center of the crowd, TAGABOW plays in a circle, facing each other, barely discernible from the bodies around them. 7 p.m., Conduit, 6700 Aloma Ave., Winter Park, conduitfl.com, $20.

Dead Meadow
D.C. psych titans Dead Meadow return to Florida after a lengthy absence, though the reasons for this lull are, like the band, heavy. First, the band needed time to complete newest album Voyager to Voyager, a fine return to sundazed form. Second, they were mourning the passing of bassist Steve Kille from cancer. Singer and guitarist Jason Simon and drummer Mark Laughlin soldier on with an incredible new suite of songs that Kille was integral to, until the very end of his life. “We’ve lost a bandmate, a brother, a friend, and a creative partner on this voyage of 26 years as Dead Meadow,” Simon says. “We are so very thankful to have this LP of new material, as Steve laid down his final bassline shortly before he became too sick to really play.” 7 p.m., Will’s Pub, 1042 N.
