Readers react to blog posts and stories from the April 4 issue. On April 6, we published a story on how Florida Gov. Rick Scott has been seen wearing a maroon ribbon to show solidarity and support to the victims and survivors of the tragic mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School that left 17 students and faculty members dead. While this is absolutely the right thing to do, it’s hard to ignore the fact he hasn’t done the same thing for the June 2016 shooting at the gay nightclub Pulse that left 49 dead. @Mark Hollamon He should try wearing a toupee, or maybe just a brown paper sack over his mug to not scare children and the elderly. @Myra Palma Looks like he’s two breaths away from being a corpse. @Edwin Oscar Vélez Not really all that surprising. He’s a self-interested prick.

On April 4, we published a column highlighting Republican Sen. Marco Rubio’s guide to surviving the Trump White House. Having spent the bulk of March being pilloried for his slavishness to the death merchants of the NRA – and trying to cast himself as a sort of “common sense” go-between, even though he voted against expanded background checks after Sandy Hook – Little Marco now wants to be the calm voice of reason, the adult in a room of hyperventilating children. We should not be worried, he says, about the Department of Commerce’s plan to include a question about citizenship on the 2020 Census. @John Taylor Too late. He’s a Trumpanzee like all the rest!

A new law makes it easier for Florida property owners to kick people off the beach, another awful hurricane season may be in the works for 2018, a federal judge claps back and other things you may have missed this week »

New law makes it easier for Florida property owners to kick people off the beach: Starting July 1, a new Florida law will restrict local governments from adopting ordinances regarding customary use, which establishes public access to private beaches in spite of owners who may want to block people. In Florida, the “wet sand” area below the mean high water line, toward the sea, is public. The “dry sand” area above belongs to the property owner.

Florida will likely experience another awful hurricane season in 2018: Last week, researchers at Colorado State University released their first report for the 2018 hurricane season, predicting that it will include at least 14 named storms, seven hurricanes and three major hurricanes, which will pack sustained winds of at least 111 miles per hour. For some perspective, a typical hurricane season usually has 12 named storms, 6.5 hurricanes and two major storms. 2017, which was the fifth most active season since these records were first started back in 1851, was 245 percent more active than the average season, says the report. 2018 is predicted to be 135 percent more active.

@Edwin Ortiz Yeah, by kissing Trump’s ass and staying silent in the face of Trump’s bullying, lying and repeated scandals; his continued assault on the freedom of the press; civil rights violations; and his utter ignorance and incompetence!

Federal judge claps back after Florida challenges ruling on felons’ voting rights: In a searing clap back of the kind usually reserved for trifling people, U.S. District Judge Mark E. Walker struck down a challenge from Gov. Rick Scott’s administration against overhauling Florida’s controversial voting rights restoration process for former felons. “Rather than comply with the requirements of the United States Constitution, defendants continue to insist they can do whatever they want with hundreds of thousands of Floridians’ voting rights and absolutely zero standards,” Walker wrote. “They ask this Court to stay its prior orders. ... No.”

» Florida DNC member takes his wife’s advice and resigns after racist remark: Democratic National Committee member John Parker resigned last week after he reportedly referred to African-Americans as “colored people.” Parker blamed his Jim Crow-sounding slip of tongue as twisting the phrase “people of color” during a Jan. 22 party meeting at the Burrito Gallery in Jacksonville. Following the colossal fuckup, even Parker’s wife – Lisa King, the chairwoman of the Duval County Democratic Executive Committee – joined the chorus of people pushing for Parker to resign.

» An Orlando resident and former Sinclair employee is being sued by the company for quitting: Last weekend, Sinclair Broadcasting Group garnered criticism for requiring its anchors to read a statement that took a shot at major national media outlets. Many wondered why those employed by the company didn’t just quit, but if only it were that easy. Jonathan Beaton, a former reporter at Sinclair station WPEC News 12 in West Palm Beach, quit the station in 2015 and moved back to Orlando. But on Oct. 13, just before the statute of limitations had run out on his contract, the company sued Beaton in Orange County courts, requesting $5,700 in damages and other related costs. xpeters@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

LISA MORENO AND NOOR SALMAN | ILLUSTRATION BY THOMAS “THOR” THORSPECKEN

CORRUPTED JUSTICE We wanted answers about Pulse. Instead, we were fed lies about Noor Salman BY MONIVETTE CORDEIRO

he confession cut through the fog of burying victims and mourning in Orlando. As locals struggled to understand how a gunman had murdered 49 of their family members, friends and neighbors at the gay nightclub Pulse, outside of the city, national media outlets reported a shocking revelation – someone could have prevented this. At least two days after the massacre, anonymous law enforcement sources told Fox News, the Los Angeles Times, CBS News and other news gatherers that Omar Mateen and his widow, Noor Salman, had cased the Pulse site before the attack. After her husband had been killed in a

ORLANDO WEEKLY ● APRIL 11-17, 2018

shootout with police, Salman confessed to FBI agents that she drove him to purchase ammunition for the slaughter and knew of his plans to commit a mass murder at the club, they reported. On June 15, 2016, three days after the attack, the New York Post plastered Salman’s face on its cover with the dramatic headline, “She could have saved them all. Killer’s wife knew – but did nothing.” Except none of that was true. Almost two years after the attack, evidence in Salman’s trial proved many of the incriminating statements she told the FBI in her alleged confession could not have possibly happened. Two weeks ago, a federal jury in Orlando found her not guilty ●

orlandoweekly.com

of aiding and abetting her husband in his support of a terrorist organization and not guilty of obstruction of justice after prosecutors accused her of lying to FBI agents during their investigation. After ingesting fiction for so long, it was hard to swallow the verdict in Orlando. Even harder still was trying to understand why the government had charged Salman in the first place. The prosecution’s case against Salman hinged on an alleged confession with enough holes to seem coerced that was never recorded, despite FBI agents having the capability to do so. During the trial, an FBI agent let slip a damning piece of information – his superiors at the FBI knew within days after the attack that it was “highly unlikely” Mateen or Salman ever scouted Pulse before the attack, according to cellphone location data. The facts contradicted a significant part of Salman’s statements – and yet, anonymous law enforcement officials leaked it to the media. Last March, federal prosecutors argued that a judge should revoke Salman’s bail because her con-

fession to casing Pulse meant she was a danger to society – a lie that helped keep the 31-year-old in a lonely jail cell for over a year, away from her son. The trial also revealed that Mateen’s father was currently under FBI investigation after agents found receipts for money transfers to Turkey and Afghanistan after Pulse. If convicted, Salman could have faced life in prison. Mateen, the one person most responsible for what happened on June 12, would never face a jury. But in the zealous quest to seek justice for the lives taken at Pulse, Salman stood as a perfect proxy for her husband’s sins – even if she was a survivor of his violent abuse.

Noor Salman’s hands shook

uncontrollably. In a few minutes, she would learn her fate from a 12-person jury who could either give her the freedom to go back to her child or sentence Salman to spend the rest of her days behind bars. Unlike the photo the media used, Salman’s face

was pale – no black liner rimmed her eyes and her hair stayed in a loose ponytail. Sometimes before trial started, she would send a small smile and wave to her family who sat in the rows behind her. On the day of her verdict, Salman tried to smile at her family, but couldn’t – the dark circles under her eyes and petrified glance in their direction indicated she was terrified. One of her attorneys grasped her hands and held them tight. The past month had been dedicated to delving into the most private details of her volatile marriage to Omar Mateen in front of a public audience. Prosecutors had called her “cold” and “callous,” a person willing to keep quiet and create a cover story for her husband’s suicide mission in exchange for an expensive engagement ring and designer clothes. Her defense argued she had no idea what her husband was going to do. “If you’re the wife of a man who lies to you, cheats on you, isolates you and abuses you, why would he tell you anything?” her attorney, Linda Moreno, asked. “Why would he confide in you … He was a psychopath leading a double life who had no respect for his wife. She was not his partner, not his peer, not his confidante.” The daughter of Palestinian immigrants who live in California, Salman met Mateen online in 2011 after her 2006 arranged marriage failed. Mateen had also been married before. His first wife, Sitora Yusufiy, told reporters Mateen would hit her, take her paychecks and isolate her from family. After a short courtship, Salman and Mateen married that same year and he took her to Fort Pierce. During her pregnancy with their son in 2012, Salman saw a radical change in her husband’s behavior. She told the New York Times he punched her while she was pregnant, pulled her hair, choked her and threatened to kill her or take her son. While in jail, Salman met with Jacquelyn Campbell, a nurse and researcher at the John Hopkins University School of Nursing who specializes in intimate partner violence. Salman told Campbell that during her five-year marriage, her husband raped her and beat her. In 2013, the FBI showed up at their house. FBI Special Agent Juvenal Martin testified that the agency had received a complaint about Mateen, who was the son of FBI informant Seddique Mateen. While working as a security guard for the private company G4S, the younger Mateen told his coworkers he was a member of Al-Qaeda and Hezbollah. During interviews with FBI agents at the couple’s apartment, Mateen admitted he lied because he felt “harassed” by his co-workers for being Muslim. The agency closed the investigation. Mateen obsessively watched extrem-

ist videos and visited websites depicting beheadings and other terrorist attacks committed by ISIS until his death. Federal prosecutors, though, failed to present evidence that showed Salman was similarly radicalized. He used his phone to browse for gory videos during work and late at night – sometimes even between checking out dating websites and porn, making it hard to believe Salman would be watching with him. His behavior took a turn during the first week of June 2016. Mateen added Salman and their son as payable-upon-death beneficiaries to his PNC bank account. Three days later, Mateen watched a video during work where an ISIL leader called for people to carry out attacks during Ramadan. Without telling Salman, he later went to the St. Lucie Shooting Center and purchased a Sig Sauer MCX rifle and 1,000 rounds of ammunition with two different credit cards. In the weeks before the attack, Mateen had spent more than $26,500 buying jewelry for Salman, as well as clothes, toys, guns and ammunition on credit cards in his name. On June 8, the couple and their son traveled to Orlando, and surveillance footage showed them shopping at Bass Pro Shops, the Florida Mall and Disney Springs. Later, they stopped at King O Falafel restaurant in Kissimmee and a nearby mosque. In her statements to the FBI, Salman allegedly told FBI Special Agent Ricardo Enriquez that after eating at the Arabic restaurant, they drove around Pulse for 20 minutes. But as the prosecution’s own witness, FBI Special Agent Richard Fennern, testified it would have been “highly unlikely” that Mateen and Salman drove to scout out the club during this time. Cellphone towers near Pulse never connected with their phones. The day before the attack seemed normal to Salman. Her husband had been treating her better and she was excited for their family trip to California. Mateen told her he was going out with his friend, Nemo, to dinner. When her mother-in-law Shahla Mateen called her to invite them to break fast at the mosque, Salman told her Mateen would be eating dinner at his friend’s house, and that she wanted to stay home with her son. “If ur mom calls say nimo invited you out and noor wants to stay home,” Salman texted her husband. “Nemo” would later testify in court that Mateen had long used him as an excuse with Salman to cheat on her with other women. After her husband left, Salman went to dinner at Applebee’s and picked up a Father’s Day card and gift at Walmart. She put her son to bed and stayed up shopping for biker jackets until about 1:32 a.m. while she waited for her husband. He would never come home.

Instead, Mateen had traveled to Orlando. Prosecutors theorized that Disney Springs – not Pulse – was the intended target of Mateen’s attack, but a heavy police presence seemed to have scared him off, and he headed toward downtown Orlando. Initially, he got directions to EVE Orlando, a nightclub on Orange Avenue. But for reasons unknown, he passed the club and headed down Orange Avenue toward Pulse. After passing the gay nightclub several times while trying to get back to EVE, he finally pulled into the Pulse parking lot. He walked inside, got a drink at the bar and watched gay couples having fun on the dance floor. Minutes before the attack, Pulse security guard Neal Whittleton said in a statement that a man who later turned out to be Mateen asked him, “Where are the girls at?” Mateen watched the crowd for several minutes and went back into his van to get his guns. At 2:02 a.m., the first shots rang out at Pulse – graphic surveillance video from inside the club showed Mateen mowing down the crowd with bullets. He ignored calls from Salman and his mother, but posted on Facebook, “America and Russia stop bombing the Islamic state … You kill innocent women and children.” His last text before police confronted him was to Salman. “I love you babe,” he wrote. She texted back, “Habibi what happened?!” He was dead by 5:15 a.m., after killing 49 people and injuring 68.

After her last text to her hus-

band, Salman heard a knock on the door – local police officers were outside. They took her and her son to the FBI’s Fort Pierce office, where she would remain for 11 hours. The FBI agents testified they were immediately suspicious of her. When they told her of her husband’s death, one agent said she cried while another claimed she didn’t. For hours, they interrogated her – though they chose not to record or videotape her statements. She wasn’t under arrest technically. But even after they saw her sleeping on the floor, they didn’t allow her to go home and asked her to call someone to pick up her son while they continued talking to her. Her alleged confession was not written in her own hand – agent Enriquez testified during trial that he wrote her words down for her because she was nervous and had her initial each statement. Dr. Bruce Frumkin, a forensic and clinical psychologist who specializes in false confessions to law enforcement, testified that Salman was at “higher risk” than the average person to give a false confession to investigators. In many ways, the case against Salman wasn’t different from other criminalized abuse survivors, despite the added eleorlandoweekly.com

ment of alleged terrorism. “Many incarcerated women happen to be survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault,” says advocate Darakshan Raja. “Seeing a Muslim woman being criminalized for the actions of her partner not herself, we needed to raise awareness.” Raja helped lead the “Justice For Muslims Collective” in gathering support for 100 organizations to stand behind Salman and oppose the prosecution for scapegoating Salman in a “quest to ensure that someone pay the price for Mateen’s actions.” “Just because Noor Salman was found not guilty doesn’t mean there’s not going to be a social punishment, and it’s important for the community to help her rebuild her life,” Raja says. “We also need to think about accountability of the FBI and prosecution looks like so they don’t go around harming others people’s lives.” After Salman was declared not guilty, many Pulse survivors and family members felt upset. The mother of Pulse victim Christopher “Drew” Leinonen, Christine Leinonen, told the Orlando Sentinel that while Salman’s confession seemed coerced, she still believed Salman “was guilty of knowing that her husband was planning an attack and doing nothing to stop it.” The jury foreman at Salman’s trial told media outlets that based on the letter of the law, they had no option but to find Salman not guilty of aiding and abetting her husband. “A verdict of not guilty did NOT mean that we thought Noor Salman was unaware of what Omar Mateen was planning to do,” the anonymous foreman said. “On the contrary we were convinced she did know. She may not have known what day, or what location, but she knew.” One of Salman’s attorneys, Fritz Scheller, said the media demonized his client, and while he was saddened that the jury believed Salman knew about the attack, he’s glad they fulfilled their role as jurors and looked carefully at all the evidence to determine she was not guilty of the charges. “I will go to my grave never believing that Noor Salman knew there was going to be an attack,” he said. “I think this case was a critical metaphor for the American experience since 9/11. We’ve had a sacrifice of American values at the altar of national security. In Ms. Salman’s case, she was the other, she’s different. She’s of the Muslim religion. We make these assumptions about her, and the media certainly do that with Muslim women all the time – that they must have known what their husbands were doing. It’s this American fear of the other that still persists in our country.” mcordeiro@orlandoweekly.com

DO YOU BELIEVE IN MAGIC? Most sports stories are about something special. This one isn’t BY XANDER PETERS

Dennis Salvagio isn’t a band-

wagon type of guy, OK? “I’m living with – what is it? – love, honor and obey,” Salvagio says, as he sits at the kitchen table inside his family’s large light-pink home in rural Chuluota. It’s a secular point of view for a sports fan, borrowed from his lifelong Catholic faith and similar to the time-honored vows he took with his wife of 45 years, Mary, who’s standing in the kitchen. “I’m living with that kind of loyalty to my team.” Salvagio, 69, stands at a squat five-footfour and 240 pounds. Still, his charisma is evident the moment you shake his hand. He’s personable but quick and to the point – a mannerism developed through his career as a criminal defense attorney, from which he’s now retired. He’s outgoing, a competitive ballroom dancer who has traveled to more than 60 countries. He’s kind, the type of man who would give you the shirt off his back, with brown eyes that flicker when the corners of his

smile twist beneath the mantle of his round face. As charming as he is, what stands out most about Salvagio is the fact that he’s a firebrand super-fan of the Orlando Magic, the type of zealot who only misses three or four home games each season. In fact, if you’ve been to a Magic home game over the last 29 years, you’ve probably witnessed Salvagio in action at some point: He’s the rabid fan who’s usually jogging around the court when the game gets close or heads into overtime, at times fully dressed in custom-made Magic regalia, looking like an Orlandoan Evel Knievel. But that seems to be happening less and less frequently. Magic games are rarely tight these days. Simply put, the team is downright awful. “Everybody talks to me. I know when they’re doing bad, because people will come up to me and say, ‘Oh, they’re terrible, blah, blah, blah. They’re tanking it,’” Salvagio says. “I hear all that from CONTINUED ON PAGE 17

everybody, OK?” It’s early March, just a couple hours before the Magic tip off against the Utah Jazz in Salt Lake City. Predictably enough, the Magic will go on to lose in ugly fashion. “We’re messing up,” Salvagio says flatly. The conversation feels somewhere between therapeutic and abrasive. Most sports enthusiasts can relate, especially the losing kind, and most especially die-hards like Salvagio. He, like anyone who’s had their heart dragged through the muck of suck, understands how the howling pain of defeat is only worsened when a franchise has a long rebuilding process to look forward to. In the case of the Magic, that process has yet to make a difference – not this season, not last season, not the season before, nor the season prior to that. The list goes on in losing accord, as have the bad upper-management hires and wasted draft picks and backfiring trades. So what happened to the Magic? While hard-core fans like Salvagio have maintained their love, honor and obey approach, other local sports aficionados have opted to cuss, holler and pray. How much longer will fans have to wait until that abracadabra moment, when everything finally comes together? How much longer can the Magic continue its losing ways before a mutiny between team and fans takes place? Or has it already?

If you’re going to understand Salvagio as a

fan, you have to understand the folkloric manner in which he earned the nickname the “Fat Guy.” The date was March 3, 1990. The Magic’s inaugural season was entering the backstretch. Salvagio, his eldest son, Anthony, and two of Salvagio’s close friends were sitting in the stands of Orlando Arena, Section 102, Row L. The first overtime period was underway, a nail-biter against the Washington Bullets, and the Magic’s new-to-this crowd wasn’t as enthused as Salvagio would have liked. So Salvagio, being the bon vivant he is, stood up and began to dance. Well, not so much dance. Think of it more like a manic shake of the body, as if the NBA’s holy ghost had come over him. His wild mop of hair flew, adding to his off-his-rocker aesthetic. The extra skin on his frame took a moment to catch up to his body’s quick jolts. Salvagio was in his element: jovial, merrily manic, loose. Magic fans had yet to see anyone like him. The sold out crowd – all 15,077 of them – was enthralled. According to an article published in the Orlando Sentinel the next day, when Salvagio stood up to shake out his Magic jitters, Orlando Arena sound technicians said the crowd’s roar grew to 120 decibels – then the loudest ever recorded in the arena. The camera guy noticed as well. “You’re up on the screen,” Salvagio’s friend told him. So Salvagio sat down, but the crowd cheered him back to his feet. He kept on dancing. The Magic lost in double overtime that night, but it didn’t stop there. The next day, as a way to track down the

dancing stranger, Sentinel reporter Bill Marx wrote a rather unflattering poem in ode to the man he dubbed the Fat Guy: “The Round Mound of O-Town. To you, Mr. Fat Guy, I give this humble offering, hoping you will accept it graciously and return to the O-rena for more of the Fat Guy Shuffle ... The Fat Guy can boogie, The Fat Guy can dance. ... Weight left – BOOM! Weight right – BOOM! Shimmy shimmy shake shake boom boom boom!” At the bottom of the poem, a note read: “If the Fat Guy’s out there, tell him to give me a call.” As one of Salvagio’s sons drove him to Sunday Mass, the newly dubbed Fat Guy noticed Marx’s poem while flipping through the paper. He followed up with the reporter. “So I call the Sentinel and I says, ‘Is Bill Marx there?’” Salvagio says, the subtleties of his native Philly accent making an appearance. “And they said no, and I says, ‘Well, tell him the Fat Guy called.’ And he called me right back.” Salvagio adds: “I thought I would have my 15 minutes of fame and it’d be over. But the next game people brought signs to the arena – ‘Fat Guy!’ It was incredible.” The rest was history. Salvagio, a natural showboat, couldn’t argue with the persona bestowed upon him. The Fat Guy’s legacy would only cement itself when he made a tradition out of running laps around the O-rena. He became a sort of cult figure around town, and beyond: In 1991, Salvagio was even named fan of the year by the NBA’s television show Inside Stuff. The Fat Guy’s persona helped Salvagio bond with the Magic, and they to him. But that doesn’t mean he’s been immune to the tragedy that’s become synonymous with the team over the past several years. The same goes for his wife, Mary, who’s been by her husband’s side through thick and thin with the Magic. “When Shaq left,” Mary says in her soft-spoken tone, pausing for a moment as if she’s paying her respects to a dead loved one. (She’s, of course, referring to Shaquille O’Neal, whom the Magic drafted first overall in the 1992 NBA Draft before he left town in 1996 for a seven-year, $121 million contract with the Lakers.) “I’ll never forget it, because I was listening to the radio while they were making that decision. And then, when he picked up the L.A. hat, it felt like I was punched in the stomach.” Salvagio only offers one word on the matter: “Betrayal.”

Like a bad taste in your mouth, betrayal has a way of sticking around long after the deed is done. But broken hearts have a way of mending, at least until they’re broken again. In the waning hours of April 11, the Magic will put the finishing touches on the franchise’s sad 29th season. Since the opening tipoff against the Miami Heat in October, most observers expected a losing season, considering how the Magic have consistently flailed over the past several years. What wasn’t expected, however, was just how badly this season would actually go. By early April, the team had only managed to produce 24 wins against 56 losses (and counting). They were again among the NBA’s basement-dwellers, second to last in the Eastern Conference – one game ahead of the equally miserable Atlanta Hawks. Which is all just

a sports-speak way of tip-toeing around the fact that the Magic are fucking terrible. At times play this season has been so appalling that some fans have drank the season’s-end Kool-Aid, hoping the Magic will tank the remainder of the season for the sake of bettering the team’s odds in the NBA Draft lottery. Making matters worse, with a number of NBA teams doing equally as bad as the Magic, they’re all essentially in a race to see who can suck the worst. But even if some folks consider it theoretically sound to finish last for draft purposes, what sort of fan celebrates a team with one of the worst records in the NBA? What’s there to hoot and holler over when the Magic can’t even win 30 games? Sure, there have been moments of blissful brilliance for Magic teams over the years. Take the night of May 7, 1995, Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. The only thing standing between the Magic’s first win of the series was the Chicago Bulls and a 32-year-old Michael Jordan. With 18 seconds left on the clock, the Magic were down by one and the ball was in Jordan’s holy hands, but that changed when Orlando guard Nick Anderson swiped it away. Seizing the opportunity, Orlando center Horace Grant raced down the court, finishing off the play with a fast-break slam-dunk, sending Orlando Arena into an allout frenzy. The Magic would go on to take the series against the Bulls, dropping just two games in the process, only to later be swept by the Houston Rockets in the 1995 NBA Finals. Or the night of Feb. 9, 2007: With just tenths of a second left on the clock and the Magic all tied up against San Antonio, Orlando forward Hedo Turkoglu passed the ball as prodigal center Dwight Howard launched himself over the Spurs’ Tim Duncan. Howard’s aggressive slam-dunk seemed to reverberate – the stadium might as well have shaken – and another win was carved into the Magic’s season. Later that year, though they’d qualify for the postseason, the Magic would end up being swept by the Detroit Pistons in the opening round of the playoffs. The above is nostalgia at its finest, not even counting how the Magic would reappear in the 2009 NBA Finals against the Los Angeles Lakers – once again losing the championship series. Then there’s this season, which has been defined by nights like Nov. 18, 2017, when the Magic fell to the Jazz by 40 points – tied for the Magic’s worst home loss in franchise history. For some fans, these recent seasons have been enough to throw up their hands. Magic jerseys began to collect at the backs of closets. Some local sports bars simply stopped tuning into the games unless customers asked, which happened less and less frequently. In recent months, apathy began to set in, or so it seemed as fewer and fewer fans trickled through downtown on their way to games. “Magic fans have been very, very spoiled,” says Philip Rossman-Reich, editor of the website Orlando Magic Daily. “In year four of the franchise’s existence, they won the NBA Draft Lottery and got one of the biggest stars in the world in CONTINUED ON PAGE 19

Shaquille O’Neal. Year five, they were in the playoffs. Year six, they were in the Finals. Magic fans have watched this team experience success very, very, very quickly, and things haven’t really reached that peak [lately].” Rossman-Reich has been on the Magic bandwagon for as long as he can remember. He came of age in the Tracy McGrady years, from 2000–2004. (McGrady was recently inducted into the franchise’s Hall of Fame.) He and his family are longtime season ticket holders; he grew up sitting in literal shouting distance of Salvagio. He, too, has seen Magic fans begin to fall off the bandwagon. “I think certainly while there’s a number of fans who are staying away and don’t want to necessarily invest the money to go to a game until they’re winning, until there’s a clear path,” Rossman-Reich says. “I do think fans want to see that happen and want to still be engaged in that process, even if it means more pain in the short term.” Rossman-Reich likes to note the sociology of Magic fans. He draws a parallel between the fans and their city. The city has always had a chip on its shoulder, he says, and that applies to the local sports world as well. “I think a lot of us local residents want people to view this city as more than just Disney,” he says. But, Rossman-Reich continues, that same identity crisis explains why Magic fans took it so hard when Dwight Howard left in 2012. Can you blame them? With Howard’s departure, they lost not only their franchise player but also a first overall draft pick, an NBA All-Star and a three-time Defensive Player of the Year, among a number of other accolades. Further complicating matters, Howard’s departure was ugly. After several seasons of less-than-ideal finishes – not counting the NBA Finals run in 2009 – Howard began knocking the Magic’s front office and demanding to be traded. He was off to Los Angeles by August 2012, only months removed from becoming the Magic’s all-time leading scorer. “I think a lot of fans were damaged by how poorly everyone handled Dwight Howard’s exit from the team,” Rossman-Reich says. “It was handled poorly by everyone: players, coaches, management, everyone just kind of bungled it in this attempt to avoid doing what Shaq did.” It obviously didn’t work. Like Shaq had done 16 years prior, Howard was gone like the wind, with dollar signs in his eyes and Orlando in the rearview mirror. It didn’t end there, though: Head coach Stan Van Gundy, who had led the Magic to the playoffs in all five seasons of his tenure, was out as well after rumors started flying that Howard gave upper-management an ultimatum between him or the head coach leaving. So Van Gundy was out, but Howard left anyway. It felt like a slight against the city. Says Salvagio, who went as far as to trademark the name “The Dwight House” in an effort to convince Howard to stay (he still owns it): “And then Dwight came. And then he left. And it’s been bad ever since.”

Asked to comment for this story, the Magic

front office rejects its premise: “Our fans have been incredibly loyal and shown great passion, while embracing our journey,” writes spokesman Joel Glass in an email. “To date, we’ve averaged 17,947 fans per game, which would be the highest attendance average in six years, while selling out 14 games, which is equal to our most sellouts in six years. In addition, we rank No. 1 in the NBA in group ticket sales and No. 2 in single-game ticket sales.” So too does Orlando’s mayor and the city’s No. 1 Magic booster, Buddy Dyer. “The Magic are actually number two in the league in attendance, and I think that’s pretty remarkable,” Dyer says. “When you’ve had six years in a row without a winning team and you’re still second in the league in attendance, it talks about how they have a strong fan base.” Those attendance figures are correct. But do they tell the whole story? Ticket sales are one thing for a professional sports franchise, but the number of fans actually in the stands is another. If you’ve taken a look at the stands during a game inside the Amway Center in recent weeks, you’ll notice a dwindling population. Indeed, true fans are such a rare breed these days that during a March 22 home game against the Philadelphia 76ers, Orlando fans were drowned out by the dull roar of Sixers fans yelling: “Eagles! Eagles! Eagles!” It wasn’t even a reference to the same sport, but a continuing celebration of Philly’s Super Bowl win in January. “The Magic will say that their attendance is still good,” says David Baumann, a sports reporter who’s covered the team since 2004; he’s a part of News 13’s panel show Spectrum Sports 360 and writes a column on the Magic for the website 407area.com. “They’re able to take a look at ticket sales and say that they’re still doing just fine, but everything is still pretty stark and palpable.” Baumann notes how ecstatic both the city and the Magic were when they made their latest run at the Finals in 2009. “The energy level in Orlando was amazing,” Baumann says. “You could feel it; you could see it; you could hear it in the arena.” But he says the difference between then and now is grim. “The arena they play in now is a big cavernous – what? – half-a-billion-dollar facility that houses a really bad product of basketball,” he says. “It’s just been so bad to watch that people can’t stomach it, and I can’t blame the fans, because, you know, it gets to the point where it’s almost a waste of time.” He says the big difference you see is in how many people aren’t going to the games anymore, because “people don’t want to pay to watch this crap.” The wounds caused by O’Neal’s departure in 1996 have healed, but we’re a little more than five and a half years since Howard demanded his trade. Since then, the Magic have been forced to move on from other players, including Maurice Harkless (who was traded to Portland for a secondround draft pick) and fan favorite Ryan Anderson (who was traded to the New Orleans Hornets for Gustavo Ayon). In that time, too, general manager Rob Hennigan happened.

Hennigan was supposed to be a promising young executive when the team hired him from the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2012. At 30 years old, Hennigan was the youngest general manager in the NBA when he stepped into his position in Orlando.

The Hennigan experiment was a failure, however. Under his tenure the Magic managed to crawl away with a 132–278 record – the worst five-year stretch in team history. On top of that, there were a number of NBA Draft selections that didn’t quite work, and there were injuries every time hope began to blossom. “It really is like a cavalcade of things going against them that got [the Magic] to this point today. At this point, you look at it and it’s almost like there’s no end in sight in this rebuilding process,” Baumann says. So how do you fix the Magic? The short answer is obvious: Win, and keep winning. That’s easier said than done, and wins won’t be easy to come by for the Magic in the coming years. Baumann says it’ll likely take at least three seasons and as many accomplished drafts to up the team’s performance. Rossman-Reich is cautiously optimistic, particularly when it comes to young talent like Aaron Gordon and Jonathan Isaac, who have both made positive strides when their health permits. As for the Salvagios, they’re a bit harder to pin down. “I don’t want to say anything against the management, because, actually, the management has been pretty good to me,” Salvagio says. “They encourage me to do what I do, OK? I think if this management now does the right thing, I think they’ve got to keep some of these young players, but we need a superstar. We need a Giannis Antetokounmpo.” (He’s referring to the Greek Freak, the Milwaukee Bucks forward whose statistics have shot through the roof.) But the Salvagios are relentless in their love for the team. However frustrating the Magic can be, that sort of discussion is off-limits during dinnertime. Tonight, as the savory aroma of Mary’s chicken parmesan wafts from the kitchen oven, there’s actually something to be hopeful for. It’s not the game against the Jazz later that night; the Magic had already lost so often that the idea of making the playoffs was farfetched. It’s Mary’s cooking that’s worth looking forward to, because Salvagio – the Fat Guy – is hungry. Mary finishes setting the table and sits down. They both then bow their heads to pray. “Lord, thank you for everything you’ve given us; you’ve given us so much,” Salvagio says, hands clasped together, head down, eyes closed. Faith is a fickle thing. By definition it means “to have complete trust or confidence in someone or something.” But for the Salvagios, their sense of faith is easily interchangeable with their sense of loyalty – loyalty to both their values and to their team. As Salvagio said earlier in the night, “That’s the only way I’d want it to be. I’m loyal to all the people around me; loyalty is a big thing with me. I’m loyal to this team, OK?”

As a resident of downtown as the nitrous-huffOrlando, it’s tempting to assume you’re living at the epicenter of the arts in Central Florida, and dismiss driving nearly an hour for a musical, especially one I’ve seen many times before. But it’s hard to imagine a better venue to see Little Shop of Horrors – Howard Ashman and Alan Menken’s hummable homage to old horror films – than Eustis’ Historic State Theatre, which was itself once a vintage movie house. And while I’ve seen Little Shops that were bigger and slicker, I’ve seen few – including the 2004 Broadway version – with quite as much heart as the production being presented (now through April 15) by producer/ director/star Derek Critzer. When I first covered Critzer in this column in 2015, he was making an ambitious attempt to mount the infamous megaflop Carrie. At the time, I praised his canny casting, and noted his mix of envelopepushing tech and scrappy DIY spirit. Three years later, the same could still be said about his latest show. In Little Shop, leading lady Savannah Pedersen gives an emotional grounded, grown-up performance as Audrey, while generating genuine sparks with Critzer’s Seymour.

to Denver late last year for family reasons, leaving renovations halfway done. “We were looking for an endeavor,” says Critzer, “and talking about ‘what’s next?’ when 20 minutes later I saw [Winnie’s] post that she was leaving. About three years ago Josh Vickery [of CFCArts] told me, ‘You need to get in that space,’ and I hadn’t even looked at it before.” Clandestine’s plan for the Sanford space is to present 5 to 6 mainstage musicals (which will pay their cast and crew) each year, along with high school intensives and youth programs. And when the stage isn’t occupied, they’ll be renting it to other arts groups. “We want to be an affordable space for other local companies,” promises Critzer. “I know what it’s like to pay for space, it’s expensive … That’s why I stopped doing things in Orlando, I couldn’t make a profit because I was spending too much for rental.” Right now, he’s in the middle of renovating the space, restoring the split-venue setup Wenglewick turned back into a single large theater, and dreaming of the shows he’ll soon be able to stage. “The space fell in our lap, and the funds came; the stars aligned. Everything happened at the right time,” he enthuses. “We were terrified, but there’s too much happening here that’s right.” skubersky@orlandoweekly.com APRIL 11-17, 2018 ● ORLANDO WEEKLY

Omelet Bar “Nothing beats an American breakfast,” says Mr. Tarek Kanso, the owner of local brunch spot Omelet Bar. Kanso would know: his extensive international travels after graduating from the University of Central Florida in 2005 allowed him to try his favorite meal of the day in a number of foreign countries, but nothing hit the spot like American-style bacon, eggs, waffles and, of course, omelets. During Kanso’s time at UCF he noticed a lack of dining options in the area: aside from one restaurant, there was nowhere to get your breakfast on. He looked into opening a breakfast restaurant with a friend, but upon further research they shelved the idea for a while. After working in the corporate world for a few years, Kanso grew tired of it and returned to 32

Orlando to begin working on his dream restaurant. He’d seen the economic growth that was beginning to take place in Orlando during his time in college and saw a lot of potential in the area. After waiting three years to find the perfect location, Kanso opened Omelet Bar near UCF in January 2017. The love and commitment to creative, high-quality food is obvious in Omelet Bar’s menu. “I did a lot of research going into the restaurant business, looking not only at what was out there but at what was lacking,” Kanso says. “At a lot of places you don’t feel the soul in the food, it just feels like another fast food joint.” That’s definitely not the case at Omelet Bar. With a commitment to fresh ingredients, from the New York strip steaks

shaved fresh daily into their Philly Steak Omelet to the house made raspberry butter and bourbon syrup that comes with their Chicken & Waffle flight, you won’t find a dish that tastes like another assembly-line egg and pancake combo meal at a chain restaurant. The fresh ingredients are met with fresh twists on breakfast classics, like the Southwestern Bowl (a Mexican-inspired scramble inside a bread bowl) and the Bostonian Omelet (a pepper jack cheese and mushroom creation topped with lobster bisque). The savory dishes aren’t the only things worth sticking a fork in here. French Quarter beignets are melt-in-your-mouth delicious, with the perfect dusting of powdered sugar on top and fresh raspberry syrup on the side. Omelet Bar’s inventive nature doesn’t stop at food. Kanso loves a good cocktail, and that love shines through in the restaurant’s extensive selection of unique drinks. Many of the drinks are ambitious, like the chocolate, marshmallow and graham cracker concoction titled “More Smore’s Pwease,” but the combination works surprisingly well as a 21-and-up treat. Patrons can go well beyond the typical mimosa or Bloody Mary order with

Omelet Bar’s drink menu. Besides the dining options, Omelet Bar’s got a lot going for it in terms of ambience. The open floor plan allows diners to see their food being made behind the bar, and the modern design is clean, well-lit and welcoming. Servers are wellversed in the menu’s many items, helping diners find the best food and drink combinations for a next-level brunch. And Kanso takes the opinions and needs of his customers seriously, guaranteeing only the best for patrons of this local spot. “I personally persevere to do my best. I take everything seriously — my crew knows that,” Kanso stresses. “If somebody isn’t satisfied I sit down and try to fix it, even if it’s only one person. If I see something on Facebook or Yelp, I reply to it, and my replies are genuine.” Rather than resting on the laurels of his success with just one Omelet Bar location, Tarek is looking to branch out and add an additional Omelet Bar to the Orlando area within the next year. Sticking true to his commitment to quality, Kanso is waiting to find just the right location. But once he gets the farm fresh eggs cracking in Omelet Bar’s second spot, the possibilities (and omelet combinations) for this local business are practically limitless.

Rampage

BY ST EVE SCHN EID ER THIS WEEK: Blumhouse’s Truth or Dare Well, they can’t all be Get Out. Blumhouse leaves its social conscience on the nightstand for the nonce, putting Pretty Little Liars’ Lucy Hale and Teen Wolf’s Tyler Posey through a game of Truth or Dare in which the consequences are life and death. What’s next, Seven Minutes in Hell? Sorry, that would be Blumhouse’s Seven Minutes in Hell. Gotta protect the brand. (PG13) Rampage Sure, the source material is ostensibly the video game series of the same name. But the pitch is absolutely “King Kong meets the Hulk, with Dwayne Johnson in a role that’s miraculously neither of the aforementioned.” The once and future Rock plays a primatologist whose gorilla buddy is turned into an oversized berserker, leading to lifestyle complications for each. (And yes, I know you’re still stuck on that speed bump of “Dwayne Johnson plays a primatologist,” but it’s 19 years since you had to accept Denise Richards as a nuclear physicist, so just lean in.) The picture reteams Johnson with his San Andreas director, Brad Peyton, although the presence of Malin Akerman and Jeffrey Dean Morgan in supporting roles also makes it kind of an ersatz Watchmen reunion. On the outside chance someone’s in the market for that. (PG-13) Sgt. Stubby: An American Hero In my day, a title like this would have been reserved for a Sid and Marty Krofft comedy starring Billy Barty. Yet here we all are. Sgt. Stubby is

instead an animated paean to a heroic Boston Terrier who helped our side win World War I by applying his canine energies to the sniffing out of poison gas and German soldiers. In other words, if you’re worried your kids would be too traumatized by Isle of Dogs, just plop them down into the soothing milieu of a global conflict that left 17.5 million dead. The movie is an international co-production that assembled top talent from Montreal, Paris and Columbus, Georgia (which, unless I’m forgetting my Marvel, were not the three cities Erik Killmonger had his eyes on). Voice talent is a bit on the C-list side, with top roles going to Logan Lerman, Helena Bonham Carter and Gerard Depardieu. Um, Gerard Depardieu? You mean he’s still walking around free and unsterilized? Somebody better make sure there’s pants on that dog. (PG)

ALSO PLAYING: Hector “El Father” Conoceras la Verdad Ice Cube had to wait around for his own kid to be old enough to play him in Straight Outta Compton, but Puerto Rican music star Hector Delgado wasn’t about to delegate a job that important to the next generation. Delgado plays himself in this biopic, which shows how he left the business behind to get a degree in theology and pursue the Lord’s work. As the title indicates, fluency in Spanish is a must to follow the fateful goings-on. Unless you’re counting on Barbara Billingsley to show up and helpfully announce, “I speak reggaeton.” (NR; Regal Waterford Lakes Stadium 20 & IMAX) orlandoweekly.com

Florida Antifest III

Favorite memories from past Rock Fights? The first Rock Fight, I gave all the judges scorecards and all the judges lit their scorecards on fire, so Backbooth was pretty unhappy … and by the end of the night all of their rocks glasses were broken because people kept throwing them.

Perhaps the most ambitious houseshow-meets-experimental-showcase in Florida, Lakeland’s Antifest returns with a very Florida freak-heavy lineup, though snagging New York’s Swollen Organs for an appearance is a very impressive “get.” 4 p.m. Saturday, April 14, contact organizers for location, donations encouraged

HO99O9, STREET SECTS AND 3TEETH, BLACKSTAR, APRIL 4

Punk-rap provocateurs Ho99o9 have made this column pretty often in the past year-and-a-half, and for good reason. Crystallizing into a juggernaut that hits somewhere between Gravediggaz and Body Count, they’re certifiably exciting, on the rise and have been playing Orlando like honorary citizens since their manager is a local guy. And seeing their production in a fully functional Blackstar is a real spectacle to behold. But this lineup is interesting in a very particular way. Ho99o9’s support on this current coast-to-coast tour is comprised entirely of new industrial bands, specifically L.A.’s 3Teeth and Austin’s Street Sects. It makes a certain sense considering some of the industrial veins in Ho99o9’s noise. This bill, however, permanently welds that connection. In fact, industrial music is making a bit of a comeback right now. Don’t go looking for the next Front 242 just yet, though. The young breed that’s making waves is less club-minded and more intent on diving back into the genre’s primal viscera, which is a relief considering the wave of cheese that flooded the landscape once the ideas started running thin back in the ’90s. And this recent concert was very much an industrial show with a distinctly industrial crowd (from what dystopian waiting room did you all spring?), almost a little slice of Visage. While the crowd was pregaming, fog machines got cranking hard enough to turn the club into London in a box. Then, under the cover of haze thick enough to blot out all stage light, Street Sects

3Teeth’s bleak electrometal is all very Wax Trax, like a direct transmission from industrial’s golden era. Fans of KMFDM and Ministry, this will get your boots kicking high again.

dropped in with such suddenness and violence that the floor audience jumped like at a horror movie. From there, a full frontal attack of strobe lights came harsh and disorienting enough to actually make someone in the front collapse and be carried out. More than just effect, this was meant to be an assault. The entire performance was conducted in this smothering murk of smoke and light with singer Leo Ashline prowling the floor among the crowd, seeming to appear from out of nowhere at all angles and usually with a scream to the face. It’s a thrill that verges on discomfort, which naturally only compounds the thrill. Live, Street Sects’ terror-punk is a raw onslaught, like a guerrilla Skinny Puppy. And with the sheer effect of their intense atmosphere and sonics, I think I just fell back in love with industrial music. As a needed reclamation that looks past the genre’s more schlocky sensibilities in favor of a return to its original essence, Street Sects are as cogent a case as they come for industrial’s new relevance in the underground.

3Teeth were much more polished and straight revivalist. Although nothing quite matched the sensory shock of Street Sects, 3Teeth’s show flexed the club’s state-of-the-art technology and production, using its 180-degree wallto-wall video screens for their visuals. Musically, their bleak electro-metal is all very Wax Trax, like a direct transmission from industrial’s golden era. For fans of Front Line Assembly, Ministry, KMFDM and the like, this will get their boots kicking high again. With the rise of adventurous hybrid acts like Ho99o9, Death Grips, Clipping, Dälek and Moodie Black, rap may just be the savior of industrial music. And this is the face of the new industrial wave, just in time for today’s winter of discontent.

BOSTON MARRIAGE AND GAMMA WAVES, WILL’S PUB, APRIL 2

Boston Marriage is a local indie rock band that’s been popping up on bills around town more lately. And they’re one to watch, with melodies that are sweetly crestfallen and dressed in perpetual twilight. Live, the power of their dual voices and dual guitars is much more forward. The effect is a sound that’s tender but substantial. Another promising Orlando find is new act Gamma Waves, a band that deals in smeared, hard-edged rock that – between its sinews of punk, grunge and noise rock – has some exciting possibilities. And sometimes, under all that groan and throttle, there’s even some melodic urge. The trio are young but together, and they can kick. baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

OMD MUSIC

British synth-pop legends OMD - Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark - have been bleep-blooping and melting hearts since 1978. The Mancunian group was part of a wave of young art students and musicians – that also included Cabaret Voltaire, Daniel Miller and Human League – who were inspired by the DIY immediacy of punk, but were even more inspired by new and affordable synthesizer technology as a vehicle for music-making. Fast-forward through 40 years, including some big-time radio hits in the mid-‘80s, and OMD will be winding their most recent U.S. tour down in Florida, promoting their new album The Punishment of Luxury. We saw OMD in 2016, when the band suffered through the twin indignities of playing an outdoor set in the daylight AND an opening slot for Barenaked Ladies. And they still slayed with a set that combined John Hughes-boosted hits like “If You Leave” with deep trenchcoat cuts like “Electricity” and “Enola Gay.” Don’t call it a comeback, they’ve been here for years. – Matthew Moyer with GGOOLLDD | 7 p.m. | The Beacham, 46 N.

Dark synth and industrial sonic textures are increasingly becoming the favored listening of bleeding-edge tastemakers – even This Little Underground welcomes the return of industrial music in these very pages – and yet, why wait for touring bands when we’re lucky enough to have some great practitioners of the form in our own backyard? St. Pete’s Ortrotrasce – the solo electronics outlet for analog junkie Nic Hamersly – is an excellent case in point. His songs are icy but instantly danceable, with gritty metallic undertones.

Lil Wop MUSIC

On a serious horrorcore-goes-trap vibe, Atlanta-via-Chicago rapper Lil Wop is perhaps the most exciting signee to Gucci Mane’s 1017 Eskimos label. The young and fanged MC does take a good amount of influence from Gucci Mane, true, but Lil Wop is on a whole other aesthetic trip. Wop’s music is a disorienting smear of horror films, serial killer bios and street life, all delivered in a genuinely disturbing undead croak that’s up there with Tricky and Screamin’ Jay Hawkins in terms of pure, high-on-human-bones intensity. He released his Wopaveli 3 mixtape on Halloween last year, for god’s sake. Recent tracks “Death Note,” “Pint of Blood” and “No Heart” show a prolific MC going all-in on the derangement of the senses philosophy of Rimbaud and, um, GG Allin.

Fringe Preview Shows THEATER

One of the most astonishing things about the Orlando Fringe festival is it brings a collective of artists together to put on dozens of unique, uncensored theatrical acts for nearly two weeks. But the most frustrating part of Fringe is choosing which shows to go to – you’d go to all of them if you could, but there’s just no time. The good folks at Fringe, though, have come up with a solution – two local teaser shows, one for general audiences and one for mature audiences, that present two-minute live teasers from the acts that will be presented at the festival in May. Make sure you don’t miss these previews with hosts Rob Ward and Eric Pinder. – Monivette Cordeiro 7 & 9 p.m. | Orlando Shakespeare Theater, 812 E. Rollins St.| orlandofringe.org | $15-$27.50

Margaret Cho CO M E DY

Margaret Cho may have reached peak exposure back in the ’90s when she starred in the semi-autobiographical sitcom All-American Girl on ABC. But that particular spotlight didn’t suit her, and she struck out to find further success as a standup comic, political advocate, burlesque performer and musician. Now she’s on a so-called comeback tour to rekindle her relationship with the comedy world. Expect her material to deal with everything from drug laws to Trump to Harvey Weinstein, as Cho has a reputation for going directly for topics that other comedians might find too divisive. One thing you can be sure of, though, is that Cho will not be issuing any apologies. – Thaddeus McCollum

APRIL 11-17, 2018 ● ORLANDO WEEKLY

B Y D A N S AVA G E I’m a 36-year-old straight woman. I was sexually and physically abused as a kid, and raped in my early 20s. I have been seeing a great therapist for the last five years, and I am processing things and feeling better than I ever have. I was in a long-term relationship that ended about two years ago. I started dating this past year, but I’m not really clicking with anyone. I’ve had a lot of first dates, but nothing beyond that. My problem is that I’d really love to get laid. The idea of casual sex and one-night stands sounds great – but in reality, moving that quickly with someone I don’t know or trust freaks me out, causes me to shut down, and prevents me from enjoying anything. Even thinking about going home with someone causes me to panic. When I was in a relationship, the sex was great. But now that I’m single, it seems like this big, scary thing. Is it possible to get laid without feeling freaked out? Sexual Comfort And Reassurance Eludes Dame It is possible for you to get laid without feeling freaked out. The answer – how you go home with someone without panicking – is so obvious, SCARED, that I’m guessing your therapist has already suggested it: Have sex with someone you know and trust. You didn’t have any issues having sex with your ex because you knew and trusted him. For your own emotional safety, and to avoid recovery setbacks, you’re going to have to find someone willing to get to know you – someone willing to make an emotional investment in you – before you can have sex again. You’ve probably thought to yourself, “But everyone else is just jumping into bed with strangers and having amazing sexual experiences!” And while it is true that many people are capable of doing just that, at least as many or more are incapable of having impulsive one-night stands because they too have a history of trauma, or because they have other psychological, physical or logistical issues that make one-night stands impossible. (Some folks, of course, have no interest in one-night stands.) Your trauma left you with this added burden, SCARED, and I don’t want to minimize your legitimate frustration or your anger. It sucks, and I fucking hate the people who victimized you. But it may help you feel a little better about having to make an investment in someone before becoming intimate – which really isn’t the worst thing in the world – if you can remind yourself that you aren’t alone. Demisexuals, other victims of trauma, people with body-image issues, people whose sexual interests are so stigmatized they don’t feel comfortable disclosing them to people they’ve just met – lots of people face the same challenge you do. Something else to bear in mind: It’s not unheard of for someone re-entering the dating scene to have some difficulty making new connections at first. The trick is to keep going on dates until you finally click 50

“CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS”

with someone. In other words, SCARED, give yourself a break and take your time. Also, don’t hesitate to tell the men you date that you need to get to know a person before jumping into bed with him. That will scare some guys off, but only those guys who weren’t willing to get to know you – and those aren’t guys you would have felt safe fucking anyway, right? So be open and honest, keep going on those first dates, and eventually you’ll find yourself on a fifth date with a guy you can think about taking home without feeling panicked. Good luck. This is about a girl, of course. Pros: She cannot hide her true feelings. Cons: Criminal, irascible, grandiose sense of self, racist, abstemious, self-centered, anxious, moralist, monogamous, biased, denial as a defense mechanism, manipulative, liar, envious and ungrateful. She is also anthropologically and historically allocated in another temporal space continuum. And last but not least: She runs less quickly than me despite eight years’ age difference and her having the lungs of a 26-year-old nonsmoker. Thoughts? Desperate Erotic Situation If someone is criminal, racist and dishonest – to say nothing of being allocated in another temporal space continuum (whatever the fuck that means) – I don’t see how “cannot hide her true feelings” lands on the “pro” side of the pro/con ledger. You shouldn’t want to be with a dishonest, moralizing bigot, DES, so the fact that this particular dishonest, moralizing bigot is incapable of hiding her truly repulsive feelings isn’t a reason to consider seeing her. Not being able to mask hateful feelings isn’t a redeeming quality – it’s the opposite. My boyfriend and I love each other deeply, and the thought of breaking up devastates me. We also live together. I deeply regret it and am full of shame, but I impulsively went through his texts for the first time. I found out that for the past few months he has been sexting and almost definitely hooking up with someone who I said I was not comfortable with. After our initial conversation about her (during which I expressed my discomfort), he never brought her up again. Had I known that he needed her in his life this badly, I would have taken some time to sit with my feelings and figure out where my discomfort with her was coming from and tried to move through it. We are in an open relationship, but his relationship with her crosses what we determined as our “cheating” boundary: hiding a relationship. How do I confess to what I did and confront him about what I found without it blowing up into a major mess?

So tell him what you know and how you found out. You’ll be in a better position to assess whether you want this relationship to survive after you confess and confront.
