Readers react to stories from last week. For our annual 420 issue, we reported on what it’s actually like to get your medical marijuana card in Florida. Plenty of people talk about how they’re definitely going to get their card so they can starting accessing its amenities, including Florida’s new allowance for smokable medical cannabis, but Orlando Weekly contributor Rebecca McKay is one of the few people we know who actually went through the red tape to get hers. @Justin Buchanan Buy weed from the kid down the street, not the government. @Evita Ramirez It is expensive to obtain and maintain. I have done better with hemp CBD. @Adam Clay Xanax and Valium disconnect you too much and can destroy your stomach. I hate being on it! If you don’t like the strain, pick a new one. Find one that works for you, it has changed my life!

On April 22, we reported on an Easter Bunny beatdown in downtown Orlando. In what was probably downtown’s weirdest fight of the year, someone dressed as the Easter Bunny ran into an ongoing brawl and beat up a man on Orange Avenue as the holiday weekend wound down. An Orlando promoter who goes by Workkk caught the whole thing on video and told Orlando Weekly the fight started when a man bumped into a woman with dreads. @Cassie Richardson Easter Bunny > Florida Man @Edie DuBay I used to manage the Easter Bunny/Santa photo set at the mall and the thing is there’s usually a woman or a petite man in those suits. They don’t generally fit the average-sized man well. I’d be surprised, honestly, if that was a man that was in there. @Carlos Flores Jesus is risen, but that guy ain’t getting up!

Russian hackers may have seen success in Florida’s 2016 elections, lawmakers still want to give classroom teachers guns, and other news you may have missed last week. »

The FBI won’t tell Florida officials which county election system may have been hacked by the Russians: Florida officials say the FBI wouldn’t immediately tell

them which county election system may have been accessed by the Russians after a report from special counsel Robert Mueller said the federal agency suspected hackers breached “at least one” county’s computer network. The Florida Department of State maintains that there was no evidence of a successful attempt in 2016.

Florida lawmakers still want to give guns to classroom teachers: A divided state Senate is prepared to

sign off on another far-reaching school safety bill that includes a provision to allow classroom teachers to serve as armed school “guardians.” SB 7030 incorporates many of the recommendations of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Commission, which spent months digging into the Feb. 14, 2018, massacre at the Broward County school before finalizing a report in January. Republicans and Democrats support nearly everything in the Senate bill, which addresses school hardening, student mental health and school safety assessments, among other things.

Florida House passes bill forcing minors to get parental consent before abortion: The Florida House

has approved a bill that would require minors to obtain parental consent before they receive abortions. Lawmakers voted 69-44 to pass HB 1335. The Senate is moving forward with the identical SB 1774. A parental consent requirement, if approved, would likely spark a lawsuit that could wind up before a revamped Florida Supreme Court, which struck down a parental consent law in 1989. State law currently requires parents to be notified if their daughters are planning to have abortions, but the bill goes further by requiring parental consent.

»

Bill targeting ‘sanctuary cities’ heads to the full Florida Senate: The Florida Senate Rules Committee voted 9-8 last week, with opposition from Democrats and Republican state Sen. Anitere Flores to approve SB 168 by state Sen. Joe Gruters. Gov. Ron DeSantis supports efforts to prevent sanctuary cities, but Senate and House Republicans have differences in their bills with weeks remaining in the legislative session. Both bills would require local law enforcement to honor federal immigration detainers. That would involve local officials holding undocumented immigrants in custody based on the requests from federal authorities, which are administrative requests.

Desmond Meade honored by Time magazine for his efforts to restore the voting rights of Florida felons: Among Time’s annual list of “The 100 Most Influential

People in the World” is local Desmond Meade, executive director of the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition. Meade was an integral part in the 2018 passage of Amendment 4, an initiative which restored voting rights to over 1.4 million Floridians with past felony convictions. It was the single largest expansion of voting rights in the U.S. in half a century and brought an end to 150 years of a Jim Crowera law in Florida. xpeters@orlandoweekly.com

FACE TIME Orlando and Tampa airports ramp up facial recognition scanning for international passengers BY J O E Y R O U L E TTE

A

ll international gates at the main airports in Orlando and Tampa will soon use small facial recognition stations to verify the identities of all incoming and outgoing travelers, including U.S. citizens. Officials say the technology will speed up passenger processing, but its primary purpose is to nab imposters using fake passports or people who aren’t already catalogued in the facial recognition database, like undocumented immigrants. The first few stations, called Automated Passport Control Kiosks, went up in mid-2018. Orlando International Airport is close to outfitting all of its international gates with the iPad-size pods, tallying 30 altogether for around $4 million as part of a sweeping effort by U.S. Customs and Border Protection to modernize its identification technology. Using the kiosk should take passengers no more than 90 seconds, according to Sita, the Swiss company that provides the hardware. A passenger walks up to what looks like an iPad on a stand, faces the camera for a photo, then continues through the airside. The kiosk uses CBP’s face-matching algorithms to identify the passenger’s face from a database of millions of government-issued image sources like passports, visas and drivers’ licenses. That match then joins with boarding control information shared by the airline. Boarding software from 18 airlines at MCO is integrated with CBP’s facial recognition algorithm on international gates, and a handful of them are still in testing. “Airlines that use those gates have to be modified” to work with CBP’s software, MCO’s chief information officer John Newsome says. “As a matter of fact, I think we just completed testing Iceland Air last night.” “We haven’t completed the install for all the gates, but it’s already being used,” MCO spokeswoman Carolyn Fennell says. Tampa International Airport is aiming for a pilot program this summer using three kiosks installed at three international gates. By 2020, every international gate will have them, including seven at Airside F, two at Airside E and one at Airside C. “We’re moving in the direction of a one-stop process,” TPA’s Senior IT Manager Doug Wycoff said in a news release. “It’s a big enhancement both for our passengers and the airport.” Facial recognition is a type of biometric identifier that companies and agencies say is more convenient to confirm passengers’ identity with because it doesn’t require physical contact like fingerprint scanners, which airlines complain slows down boarding lines and costs too much money. But the cost of convenience could be the technol-

ogy’s accuracy. A 2017 report from the Georgetown Center on Privacy and Technology says the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s airport face recognition systems erroneously reject as many as one in 25 travelers who had valid passports, which could prompt authorities to deny boarding misidentified passengers or cause unwanted delays and encounters. There are currently no laws or regulations in Florida that govern law enforcement’s use of facial recognition technology, and some software, like Amazon’s Rekognition, has a greater tendency to misidentify women of color over white men. The Customs and Border Protection agency uses the technology to catch international travelers who are overstaying their visas, or undocumented immigrants whose photos don’t show up in the image database. According to a 2018 report in Frontline, a government periodical disseminated by CBP, a facial recognition station at the Atlanta International Airport flagged a 28-year-old Mexican woman on her way to catch a flight to Mexico City because her face didn’t match any of the photos stored in the database. CBP agents pulled her aside, according to the report, and the woman, who didn’t have a visa or green card to show she was a lawful resident, admitted to entering the country illegally four years prior. The CBP agents took her fingerprints and, with her facial photo now captured by the kiosk, her biometric information was logged in a “lookout list” of immigrants that can remain stored for up to 75 years. “The device automatically created a biometric exit record confirming that the woman left the country,” the report said, adding that “passengers like the young woman have been found daily” using the facial recognition stations in Atlanta. In a massive national security overhaul following the 9/11 attacks, Congress passed legislation in 2002 that required the Department of Homeland Safety (which was created in response to 9/11) to screen incoming international travelers with biometric data using fingerprint scanners. DHS beefed up its biometric toolbox in 2004 and, along with the common biographic info authorities collect, began collecting biometric data from all travelers leaving and exiting the country, including U.S. citizens. Since then Customs and Border Protection, serving under DHS, has greatly expanded its biometric collections in separate pilot programs with private airlines that tested facial recognition stations and iris scanners at various U.S. airports.

A SLOWLY BOILING FROG If we hadn’t become numb to Trump’s corruption and lies, the calls for impeachment would be deafening BY JE FFREY C. BILL M A N

Your first clue that Donald would be deafening. Instead, the frog has Trump doesn’t want you to know what’s in the Mueller report is the date of its release: the day before Passover and Easter weekend, but a whole 25 days after Special Counsel Robert Mueller delivered it and Attorney General William Barr assured Congress (and a gullible mainstream media) that the president had been totally cleared of wrongdoing.

Your second clue is that Trump spent the week prior rage-tweeting about the “18 Angry Democrats” on Mueller’s team who had – the logic gets twisted here – nonetheless rendered a “NO COLLUSION! NO OBSTRUCTION!” verdict. Trump’s lawyers (but not Congress) had gotten a sneak peek at the report’s 448 pages, and the president seemed less than thrilled by his exoneration. Your third clue is that, the morning of the “lightly” redacted report’s release, Barr – whose history of covering up Republican crimes dates back to Iran Contra – held a press conference to repeatedly declare that there was “no collusion,” as if he were the president’s flack instead of the country’s top lawyer. This was a shameless attempt to preemptively frame a bullshit narrative. That should have been obvious to anyone who’s been paying attention. But once the report dropped, we saw how deep the bullshit actually ran – and somehow, it was still shocking. Before we get there, though, imagine that everything in the Mueller report was new and the New York Times and Washington Post hadn’t revealed its contents over the last two years. (So much for #FakeNews, huh?) Imagine we had learned for the first time that the Trump campaign welcomed Russia’s help in swinging the election; that, during the campaign, Trump was trying to build a $300 million high-rise in Moscow; and that Trump repeatedly tried to intimidate witnesses and shut down the investigation, including ordering his minions to fire the special counsel. Imagine we hadn’t become numb to the corruption and mendacity. The calls for impeachment

boiled slowly, and Trump is trying to claim vindication. There is no vindication in Mueller’s words, at least to anyone with a middleschool level of reading comprehension. Trying to summarize his voluminous findings in a few hundred words is a fool’s errand, but the report makes three things extraordinarily clear. First, there absolutely was collusion – with WikiLeaks, which was disseminating information obtained by Russian hackers. Per Mueller’s report: “By the late summer of 2016, the Trump Campaign was planning a press strategy, a communications campaign, and messaging based on the possible release of Clinton emails by WikiLeaks.” There were also lots of shady campaign contacts with Russian operatives, including Donald Trump Jr.’s meeting with a Kremlinconnected operative teasing “incriminating” information on Hillary Clinton. (Mueller concluded in part that Don Jr. was too naive to realize that soliciting assistance from a foreign government was illegal.) But collusion isn’t a crime. The crime is conspiracy and coordination. The campaign coordinated with WikiLeaks to disseminate the emails, and while there’s evidence that campaign officials knew where those emails originated, Mueller decided he couldn’t prove a conspiracy. Second, Trump absolutely tried to obstruct justice. Mueller “found multiple acts by the President that were capable of exerting undue influence over law enforcement investigations.” In his summary to Congress last month, Barr brushed aside Trump’s obstruction by saying that, since there was no underlying conspiracy, Trump had no criminal intent. But Mueller disputed that: “The evidence does point to a range of other possible personal motives animating the President’s conduct.” Among them: Trump saw the investigation as an attack on his legitimacy, and he worried that it might expose other illegal or unflattering conduct. Trump got lucky – his advisers simply ignored him. “The president’s efforts to influence the investigation were mostly unsuccessful, but that is largely because the persons who surrounded the president declined to carry out orders or accede to his requests,” Mueller wrote. And he escaped prosecution by virtue of the fact that a

“federal criminal accusation against a sitting President would place burdens on the President’s capacity to govern and potentially preempt constitutional processes for addressing presidential misconduct.” But Mueller had the goods – that much was obvious. According to Department of Justice policy, Trump can’t be prosecuted while in office. So if Mueller reported that the president committed a crime, the president wouldn’t have a chance to defend himself in court. And an accusation “could carry consequences that extend beyond the realm of criminal justice.” So Mueller punted to Congress – and its impeachment powers. Third – this cannot be understated – Trump lies, all the time, about everything. Everyone around him lies, too. They always fucking lie. A small sampling: During the campaign, Trump lied about his Moscow business venture, and, Mueller wrote, “expressed skepticism that Russia had hacked the emails at the same time as he and other Campaign advisors privately sought information [redacted] about any further WikiLeaks releases.” As president, Trump put out a press release that lied about his campaign’s meeting with a Russian operative, then his lawyer lied about Trump’s involvement in that press release. Trump lied to NBC News about inviting FBI director James Comey to a private dinner in 2017, then lied about it not being his idea to fire Comey. White House press secretary Sarah Sanders lied about the “countless” FBI agents who wanted Comey gone; under oath, she confessed to making that up. Trump lied about reports that he directed the White House counsel to fire Mueller. And William Barr deliberately mischaracterized Mueller’s report in an effort to hide the president’s misdeeds. As part of the Mueller investigation, several campaign officials and associates have faced charges for lying to investigators or Congress. Trump doesn’t have to worry about that. Both he and Don Jr. refused interviews with Mueller. The fish rots from the head, and this whole corrupt fugu needs to go. feedback@orlandoweekly.com

A GREEK TRAGEDY

The Orlando Apollos deserved better than the Alliance of American Football

BY XANDER P ETERS

T

he Alliance of American Football was supposed to be different. Announced in March 2018, the eight-team developmental spring league was pitched as faster, rougher and more action-packed than the NFL. What it lacked in marquee talent, it would make up for in excitement: no kickoffs, no one-point conversions, a shorter play clock, no bullshit rules to protect the quarterback. It would be more like traditional football than the arena variety, and not as schlocky as the short-lived XFL, but somewhere in the middle. To be sure, the XFL was an inspiration. One of the AAF’s founders, Charlie Ebersol – the son of former NBC Sports head Dick Ebersol – had directed a documentary on WWE executive Vince McMahon’s 2001 gridiron stunt, and was fascinated by its spectacle. But the other founder, Bill Polian, was a former general manager for the NFL’s Buffalo Bills and Indianapolis Colts, and the league had also picked up some former NFL greats as advisers, including soon-to-be Hall of Fame safety Troy Polamalu, defensive end Justin Tuck, wide receiver Hines Ward and vaunted rules analyst Mike Pereira. The AAF was designed to be the best of both worlds – and eventually, it might serve as a pipeline to the NFL. Unlike in college football, the players would be paid:

12

They’d all receive the same $250,000, three-year deal, which would come with an exit clause in case the NFL called. Players would be signed to teams based on the geographic regions in which they played college ball, too, so there was also a “hometown” aesthetic. The idea was enticing enough to attract some big names. The brand Starter inked a deal to be the official apparel provider. Heisman winner (and NFL wash-out) Johnny Manziel signed on to quarterback the Memphis Express, a team coached by Pro Football Hall of Famer (and former San Francisco 49ers head coach) Mike Singletary. But maybe the biggest get, at least around here, was legendary former University of Florida coach Steve Spurrier, who agreed to helm Orlando’s franchise, dubbed the Apollos. The idea took off in Orlando. More than 20,000 people crowded into the University of Central Florida’s Spectrum Stadium on Saturday, Feb. 9, for the team’s debut against the Atlanta Legends. CBS broadcast that first game, a 40–6 shellacking in which Apollos QB Garrett Gilbert threw for 227 yards. Similar crowds showed up for the next two home contests – attendance figures not far off what Orlando City Soccer Club usually pulls, and nearly double the Orlando Predators’ home average in 2016, the last year it played in the Arena Football League before

disbanding. (The Preds re-launched in the National Arena League earlier this month.) “That was the main thing: We had a professional football team,” says Darrell Williams, who, along with his wife, Linda, was the first Apollos season ticket holder. “We live in Sanford and, yeah, we go to Tampa Bay [Buccaneers] games. But holy cannoli, when we found out about this, I said, ‘Baby, this is right up our alley. We can go watch professional football players play and we have front row seats right on about the 20-yard line.’” “And they had Steve Spurrier,” Linda Williams adds. “How many people can say that?” Through the first eight weeks of the 10-week regular season, the Apollos dominated, going a league-best 7–1 and clinching a playoff berth. Gilbert led the AAF in passing. Following a stunning fourth-quarter comeback victory in Memphis on March 30, the Apollos were headed back to Orlando to face the 3–5 San Diego Fleet. That game never happened. Fifty-three days after the league’s first snap, and 25 days before its champion was supposed to be crowned, the AAF suddenly collapsed. By April 17, facing mounting lawsuits, the league filed for bankruptcy. In hindsight, it’s easy to see the AAF for what it was: a financial game of Jenga that was teetering on the brink of

disaster from the outset. But at the time, its sudden demise to everyone – players, coaches, even the league’s growing fan base – came completely by surprise. Weeks later, one question remains: Who’s to blame? “You know, you go back and forth and say, ‘Should I have known this, and should I have known that?’” says Michael Waddell, the Apollos’ former president. “At some point, you …” Waddell stops and sighs. “It’s just a great disappointment. We had players and coaches and staff that moved here because they believed in what we were doing, and came together in a very short amount of time, came together as a family.” He adds: “I’m just disappointed that we were unable to finish out what we started.”

As seems to be appropriate in 2019, the end

– or news of it – came on Twitter. Shortly before 1 p.m. on April 2, word began to circulate that Tom Dundon, a 47-year-old billionaire who had acquired a majority stake in the AAF less than two months earlier, had decided to shut the whole thing down, over the objections of Ebersol and Polian. By 5 p.m., it was official. Dundon, who owns the NHL’s Carolina Hurricanes, had pledged to pump $250 million into the AAF in February. He’d moved in after an initial funder bailed

following the league’s season opener, and his investment gave the league the appearance of a strong foundation on which to grow. Indeed, that’s what Dundon said when he took over. “There’s a difference between commitment and funding,” Dundon told the media in February. “They had the commitments to last a long time, but maybe not the money in the bank. My money is in my bank. I’m sure of it. … That’s enough money to run this league for a long time. We’re good for many years to come with what I just did.” That’s not what happened. Dundon, it turns out, had only agreed to float the AAF week to week. And by the end of March, the league had burned through $70 million of his cash. Dundon’s desperation move was a threat to dissolve his league unless the NFL Players Association let the AAF use younger NFL players, with the hope that bigger names coming out of college football would cement the AAF’s status as a developmental league. Though there were rumors, the NFLPA initially declined. After that, it seems he gave up. Dundon made his fortune off of subprime car loans and an investment in the sports and entertainment gaming franchise TopGolf. He’d bought the struggling Carolina Hurricanes in 2018, overhauled the organization, and a year later it made the playoffs for the first time in a

decade. He should have known what he was getting into. AAF executives have remained mum since the league dissolved, and Dundon did not respond to repeated requests for an interview. But it seems clear the league was a financial garbage fire. Almost all of Dundon’s $70 million went to payroll; the league’s vendors were getting shafted. The AAF, for example, owes UCF more than $325,000. The league signed a three-year agreement in which the Apollos would play five home games a year at Spectrum Stadium at $75,000 a pop, for a total of $1.1 million. The team only ended up playing three games there, bringing the tab to $225,000, plus unpaid expenses for police and other vendors. UCF sent the AAF three invoices before the league pulled the plug. The check has yet to arrive. The university declined to comment on whether it would pursue legal action, adding to the two lawsuits that have already been filed, and the AAF’s former head of business operations did not respond to questions about how the league would pay its outstanding debts. Though the AAF’s website is mostly inactive, a statement on its homepage says, “This is not the way we wanted it to end, but we are also committed to working on solutions for all outstanding issues to the best of our

ability. Due to ongoing legal processes, we are unable to comment further or share details about the decision.” The AAF never really had its shit together. Case in point: Just three weeks into the season, the Apollos had to move their practices from Camping World Stadium to a high school in southern Georgia, with the players being bused back and forth from hotels in Jacksonville. This happened because Florida does not cover athletes under its workers compensation laws, and the AAF hadn’t found an insurance company to cover the entire league. Having the Apollos spend 51 percent of their practice days on Georgia soil allowed players the option, if needed, to file a claim under the state’s workers’ compensation laws. Football, it goes without saying, is a violent, concussion-prone sport. Launching a football league without an insurer does not seem like a particularly well-considered decision. That was one of many ill-considered decisions. Perhaps these decisions were ill-considered because the AAF rushed to get on the field. In January 2018, two months before Ebersol and Polian made their announcement, Vince McMahon said he was going to take another stab at the XFL in spring 2020, so maybe they wanted to beat him – and his promised half-billion-dollar investment – to the punch. That’s speculation. Regardless, the AAF’s collapse has produced a volcano of legal activity. John Swope and Jay Roberson, who worked for the AAF’s Birmingham Iron franchise, filed a potentially class-action federal lawsuit arguing that the league failed to follow the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act when it issued the nationwide layoffs in April. Birmingham Iron punter Colton Schmidt and Apollos linebacker Reggie Northrup have brought another claim, saying they wouldn’t have subjected themselves to “serious risk of physical or damage to [their] health” or “forgone other financial opportunities” had they been aware of the AAF’s shaky financial standing. In addition, the lawsuit alleges that the AAF not paying its players for the last two regular season games indicates that the AAF entered the contracts in bad faith.

In August, before AAF teams had chosen their mascots, Spurrier was excited. “I think we can put a really good product on the field. I’m watching all these NFL games right now and half the guys are playin’ in the preseason, they’re gonna get cut and they’re gonna be wantin’ to play in our league,” Spurrier told Orlando Weekly. Asked whether fans should be patient, Spurrier sounded frustrated. “No, they shouldn’t be patient. Three weeks is plenty of time to put a good football team together,” Spurrier said, referring to the AAF’s training camp that winter. He did put a good football team together. The Apollos came out hot and stayed that way, going undefeated through the first five CONTINUED ON PAGE 17

weeks of the season. Gilbert was the best passer in the league. Wide receiver Charles Johnson accumulated 45 catches for 687 yards and five touchdowns, and defensive back Keith Reaser recorded three interceptions. That was good enough for them to parlay their eight weeks in the AAF into NFL contracts: Gilbert signed with the Cleveland Browns. Johnson and Reaser have gone to the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs, respectively. Several other AAF players made a similar jump. For many of them, the developmental league offered a second chance to show their stuff. But not everyone will go to football’s majors. “A lot of guys were hurt by this,” says Sean Price, a former tight end with the Apollos who played at the University of South Florida. “Leaving the [last team] meeting, it was very emotional for some people. They just didn’t account for other people’s living situations. It’s just not – it’s just not fair.” Price moved his girlfriend and child to Central Florida from Colorado Springs, where he was an intramural sports director for soldiers and families at a military base. Like all players in the AAF, he signed a three-year deal. The league didn’t live up to its word, he says. “I mean, I just felt betrayed,” Price says. “It was a great league. I loved the way the league was set up and all the opportunities that had been given to us. But just to take it away seems very disrespectful, very childish. It seems that they had the funds in place. They just had some upper management issues that nothing to do with the players.” As Price continues training, he’s keeping an eye toward the next iteration of the XFL. He’s also considering taking legal action against the AAF, perhaps joining Schmidt and Northrup’s lawsuit. “To just have [the league] dismantled while we’re at a practice like that, it’s crazy,” Price says. “So hopefully this lawsuit, or whoever else, can see it through that what they did was wrong and they should pay out these athletes and coaches for the time, for the contract that they had.” xpeters@orlandoweekly.com

A LENS SUPREME

Snap Space hosts a communion with the quiet master chronicler of the jazz world BY JE SSI C A BRYC E YOU N G

ou might not know you know him, but you know him. Chuck Stewart’s photographs adorn the covers of at least 2,000 albums, by his count. That’s his work on Albert Ayler’s Love Cry, Gil ScottHeron’s The Revolution Will Not Be Televised, Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers’ Three Blind Mice. And so, although he’s a visual artist, it’s music fans who know him best. Over the span of a 70-year career, Stewart shot photos of Marian Anderson when he was just 13; atom bomb tests as an Army Signal Corps photographer; and actors, comedians, pro athletes and art nudes, but it was his work in the jazz world that dominated both his career and his reputation. And now an exhibition of his work is coming to Orlando’s Snap Space gallery, Eye of an Era: The Legacy of Chuck Stewart, opening Friday, April 26. Bucking the trend of splashy, electrifying artist portraits, Stewart captured musicians in intimate and introspective moments. In Stewart’s 2017 obituary in the New York Times, jazz historian Dan Morgenstern was quoted saying that photogs weren’t always welcome in the recording studio, but Stewart was. “Producers and engineers accepted him,” Morgenstern said. “He was not the least bit intrusive. He would never snap a shutter in the middle of a take. He was the extreme opposite of the paparazzi.” Most famously, Stewart was in the studio with John Coltrane during the recording of A Love Supreme and Ascension. The images he made during these sessions are so meditative, so understated, that it’s hard to remember a photographer is present – were it not for the technical perfection of the lighting and composition. “When Chuck passed away I really wanted to make sure his legacy was known to people, because he’s done such incredible stuff,” says local jazz broadcaster Kyle Eagle. (Check out his show, The Major Scale, on WUCF.) “He captured jazz in a way that no one else did. … His Coltrane images

are absolutely naked.” Eagle knew Stewart from back when they both lived in Teaneck, New Jersey. They became acquainted when Eagle was working on a documentary about composer and vibraphonist Gary McFarland, and his producer licensed some images of McFarland from Stewart. Now Eagle has worked with Stewart’s family to curate this exhibition for the Snap! gallery. Eagle says, “I’ve tried to keep the momentum going as much as possible.” The prints in this show, provided by Stewart’s family, are among the last Stewart printed himself and signed before his death. Patrick Kahn, of Snap, says he was familiar with Stewart’s iconic photographs of jazz legends. Eagle, the Stewart family, and Patrick and Holly Kahn worked together to make the show a reality. “We love the warmth and rawness of his imagery,” Kahn says. Eye of an Era will present a glimpse of Stewart’s advertising work and a selection of his art and issue-oriented photography as well. It will be a rare chance to see the work, since, unusually for a photographer of his magnitude, Stewart never sold his archive to Corbis, Getty or one of the big licensing firms. Many of his photos documenting the Love Supreme sessions were donated to the Smithsonian National Museum of American History. But this show gives Orlando the opportunity to commune visually with the creators and the chronicler of those wordless aural truths too big to speak. jyoung@orlandoweekly.com

CONTAINED ENVIRONMENT

A food hub fashioned from shipping containers is Tavistock’s latest culinary foray BY FAIYAZ KARA

S

hipping containers, those six-sided prisms of weathered corrugated steel, are finding uses beyond industrial consignments, human trafficking and postmodern home construction. They’re being used as swimming pools, growhouses, portable loos and, of course, restaurants. The Smoky Park Supper Club in Asheville’s River Arts District is a pretty cool-looking restaurant constructed from 19 such cuboids, and the novelty of dining at the country’s largest shipping container restaurant doesn’t really wear off once seated inside. If anything, the restaurant demonstrates how function and form can appear in balance, even inside a steel box. Over in the planned community of Taverstockia, er, Lake Nona, sits Boxi Park, Tavistock’s take on the shipping container-cum-restaurant trend and one that completely deconstructs the notion. It’s a patchwork of counter-service concepts – lobster rolls, fried chicken, burgers, tacos, health food and ice cream – situated in a manner that promotes a free flow of humans from one metal-framed kiosk of commerce to the next, like a mini theme park. There’s a live music stage, beach vol-

leyball courts, a playground. There’s also booze and beer and plenty of mirth coated in an organic veneer. And if Boxi Park feels a bit contrived, that’s because it is: This is no pop-up food bazaar of independent chefs and vendors – it’s a private investment firm and culinary conglomerate guising it as such. And in manufactured Lake Nona, it works like a charm. Boxi Park feels like an impromptu happening. Down a crunchy soft-shell crab roll ($12) from Claw & Order, wipe the yuzu-wasabi mayo off your chin, then head for a beer brewed by Park Pizza & Brewing Company across the street. You’ll hear poppy tunes from the live band as you make your way to one of the tables scattered about the venue. A beach ball might come out of nowhere and bounce off your leg, or you may run into someone you haven’t seen in a decade, or you might just head back to Claw & Order for a gratifying lobster roll ($11), or strut over to Fowl Play for a fried chicken “Bollywood Bun” ($7) spiced with a Kashmiri chili-turmeric mayo. When the rains come, umbrellas shoot

out over tables and Boxi Park’s workers hand out complimentary ponchos to keep the action going. Others use it as an opportunity to grab a decent burger on a potato roll ($7) from the Grill Next Door, or tacos from Cañonita. We tried a salty carne asada with Cajun spicing, a barbacoa with chicharrones and caramelized pineapple and a fish taco; the tortillas were fashioned from yellow corn and wheat flour, a hybrid we’d never tried before with a taste and texture more like a flour tortilla. At this point we were ready for some sweets from Naughty & Nice. The “Nice” is a reference to the salads, wheatgrass shots ($2.75) and fresh juices ($5) they sell in addition to doughnuts ($3) supplied by Valkyrie Doughnuts and macarons from Tavistock’s Canvas Restaurant a few yards away. They did the trick, but it didn’t stop us from also getting some black vanilla soft serve (black = activated charcoal) sauced with a little caramel ($3) from Before It Melts. There’s even a handful of flavors, some vegan, from Greenery Creamery on hand. It was nice to see a couple of local outfits represented here, as all the other vendors were spawned from the boardrooms of Tavistock with the idea being to brick-and-mortarize any one (or more) of these concepts should it take off. Yes, Boxi Park is a controlled laboratory, a Tavistock testing ground, an incubator. And it’s a pretty good idea. Shipping-container food hubs like Boxi Park in all their metallic, rectangular glory may, in fact, present the shape of things to come. fkara@orlandoweekly.com

BUSTER’S BISTRO

Convivial Belgian gastropub in the heart of Sanford’s historic district has an amazing selection of Belgian brews on tap and by the bottle. Hearty dishes make fine accompaniments to all that beer, none more so than the short rib carbonnade. A deconstructed vol-au-vent’s got flavor, as does the poutine, though the presentation may make card-carrying Canucks cringe. Closed Mondays. 300 Sanford Ave., Sanford, 407-732-6880; $$

BAANCHAN THAI

East Orlando Thai joint delivers a bit of the traditional (the pad thai is solid) with a few dishes to lure the intrepid diner, like seasoned quail eggs fried in a khanon krok; “Thai heaven beef,” aka fried beef jerky; and duck ramen in a lemongrass broth cloaking infernal red-hot chilis. Creamy Thai tea makes a great palliator. Closed Mondays. 10725 E. Colonial Drive, 407-270-8448; $

FOREVER NAAN

From-scratch curries highlight this small Curry Ford Road curry shop, though the samosas, delicately fried and not thickskinned, deserve praise as well. Naans are made on a tawa, but look for a proper tandoor to be installed in the coming weeks. Along with it will come an expanded menu of Indian street snacks (think pani puri and kebab rolls) and vegan offerings. Closed Mondays and Saturdays. 4205 Curry Ford Road, 407-601-0835; $

SUSURU

The nostalgia-packed decor of this attractions-area izakaya dazzles as much as the brilliant menu of yakitori, ramen and small bites. Of note are the skewered chicken thighs and chicken skin, as well as the tubular chicken meatball drizzled with your choice of five sauces. Short rib, Kurobuta pork-honey sausage and even Brussels sprouts benefit from binchotan grilling. Don’t pass up the street corn nor the hamachi collar. From the selection of ramen, rich and creamy chicken paitan lends a tonkotsu-like high. Cocktails come camera-ready. Closed Monday. 8548 Palm Parkway, 407-778-4813; $

DOMU CHIBI

Waits can get long at this “quick casual” offshoot of the highly lauded Domu, but you’ll get legit bowls of ramen for under $10. Noodles aren’t made in house (they’re procured from the respected Sun Noodle) as they are at Domu’s flagship, but the broths and bases, like the 18-hour tonkotsu, certainly are. Rice bowls and smaller bites like gyoza and bravas fries are offered too. Open daily. 869 N. Alafaya Trail, 407-7307260; $

MENAGERIE EATERY & BAR

From the folks who brought you the Stubborn Mule and RusTeak comes the Menagerie, an eclectic joint with an equally eclectic menu that criss-crosses international culinary boundaries. You’ll find everything from Taiwanese Night Market chicken to curried cauliflower served with pisco sour relish to fried cod crusted in Frosted Flakes. No, they don’t take things too seriously here. Closed Mondays and Tuesdays. Sunday brunch until 3 p.m. 101 S. Eola Drive, 407-601-5358; $$

THE RAMEN

This humble ramen joint by Suichi Tanida, the former chef at Epcot’s Mitsukoshi Restaurant, gives downtowners a healthy dose of traditional tonkotsu, shoyu and miso ramen. Don’t overlook gratifying donburi rice bowls or takoyaki. A handful of vegan options are offered as well. Closed Sunday. 486 N. Orange Ave., 407-2334801; $$

ZERO DEGREES

Fresh-fruit slushies, teas and coffee are this Cali-based chain’s signature offerings, but “Hispanic-Asian” food offerings make ideal accompaniments to such boffo iced bevs as mangonada and spicy watermelon. Chilotes – elotes topped with crushed Flamin’ Hot Cheetos and chicharrones – are as street as it gets, though popcorn chicken, wings and noodles keep things heated. 5282 W.

Fast-casual joint in Lake Nona (with more outposts to come in Winter Park and UCF) lets guests build beautiful guilt-free and gluten-free bowls of deliciousness. Choose from nine different bases (everything from black rice and orange-basil quinoa to Asian sweet potato noodles and kale), layer on cooked veggies like ginger broccoli and smoky cauliflower, add some meat, other add-ons and a sauce, and have at it. Meats, btw, don’t suffer from the over-charring so often found at Chipotle. 12711 Narcoossee Road, 407-627-1990; $ n

FAMILY IN FACE PAINT Juggalos finally get some wicked clown love from the mainstream BY DAVID RIEDEL

H

ere’s something you don’t see every day: a movie in which Juggalos – those fanatical face-painted followers of Insane Clown Posse – not only play a major role in a motion picture, but are treated with a modicum of respect, even as they’re frequently the butt of jokes. That angle is what makes writer-director Laura Steinel’s Family a hoot when it should feel familiar, since the story is typical of family comedies – R-rated family comedies, that is. Kate (Taylor Schilling, Orange Is the New Black) is a buttoned-up, self-loathing, nononsense senior vice president at a hedge fund. She has zero tolerance for anything that impedes her professional success. So when her estranged brother (Eric Edelstein) asks her to watch his 11-year-old daughter, Maddie (Bryn Vale), for a few days, Kate’s initial reaction is a firm “No.” After a serious guilt trip from her sister-in-law, Kate agrees to babysit. (How estranged is this family, by the way? Kate doesn’t remember Maddie’s name or her brother’s home address.) And thus begins Kate’s light-comedy path to redemption, the ol’ ah-family-ain’tso-bad-it-leads-to-personal-growth routine that we’ve seen countless times

before (Home for the Holidays, Baby Boom, The Family Stone, Uncle Buck). Fortunately, Steinel counteracts the genre’s saccharine tendencies with lots of outrageous situations and sharp dialogue. For example, when Maddie complains that kids at school call her names because she wears a cape, Kate says, “If you want to run around looking like the Burger King, then kids are going to make fun of you.” It’s an unkind thing for an aunt to say to her miserable niece, but it’s funny, and Schilling’s comic timing is strong enough to make Kate come off as maladroit in social situations rather than a total asshole with a complete disregard for another person’s feelings. I’d like to tell you the Juggalo gag, in what turns out to be a major plot point, is a big surprise, but its introduction in Family is one of the movie’s major stumbling blocks. Family opens with a scene straight out of a J.J. Abrams TV show – you know, when the episode begins with the ending and then flashes back to the beginning – so we know from the first moment that Kate will end up chasing Maddie around a Gathering while they’re both covered in face paint. Fortunately, what happens at the

HHHHH Gathering – shot at a real Gathering, by the way – mostly makes up for Steinel telegraphing the story’s ending. And despite some feelings of story déjà vu, Family mostly works. It doesn’t take itself too seriously, even when it tackles a few of the movie’s more serious subjects, such as bullying, parenting an awkward child, and Kate’s tendency to treat her co-workers as pawns in a chess game rather than humans with lives outside the office. Schilling is the glue holding this contrivance together, and she pulls it off. Helping her is Vale, as well as Bryan Tyree Henry as Sensei Pete, Maddie’s well-intentioned sort-of karate instructor. Bonus: Kate doesn’t go through a complete transformation, but just enough of one to make it seem as if the movie hasn’t sold out her character for the sake of delivering a feel-good ending. It’s the kind of transformation someone might actually have after a life-altering experience, even if it’s spurred on by the Gathering of the Juggalos. feedback@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

OPENING WEDNESDAY: Amazing Grace It takes a while for the staff at Maitland’s Enzian Theater to clean up after each edition of the Florida Film Festival. They have to survey the grounds for structural damage. Hose down the porta-potties. And find suitable homes for any babies that were born during the event. Oh wait, that’s Burning Man. Anyway, it’s still a big job. So the theater customarily shuts down for a few days after the festival wraps. Enzian reopens for regular business Friday, and on the marquee is an enticing holdover from the FFF. Amazing Grace documents a landmark performance the late Aretha Franklin gave at a church in Watts – a performance that reinforced her gospel roots to an appreciative audience of fans and parishioners (and, presumably, Fred Sanford). The film went uncompleted for decades, and even when it was finished, Franklin tried to block its release. But now she’s dead, so WE don’t have to suffer anymore! I love a happy ending. (Now somebody adopt those kids.) (NR) Avengers: Endgame The Russo brothers and Disney are petrified that fanboys and -girls will spoil the plot of Endgame. But I think they’re just being a bunch of worrywarts. I mean, the new Hellboy has been out for weeks, and nobody’s saying a single word about it! But just to be extra careful, we aren’t even printing our review of Endgame in this week’s paper. You’ll have to log on to orlandoweekly. com to check out Thaddeus McCollum’s take, because that’s how committed we are to keeping even minor spoilers under wraps.

(Trust us, it has absolutely nothing to do with editorial deadlines and screening times. Heaven forfend!) So long as we’re on the job, no innocent naif is going to leaf through this paper and stumble across confirmation of the popular fan theory that Ant-Man defeats Thanos by entering his body through the anus and then reassuming normal size. We’re saving that sort of thing for the wild west of the internet. You can thank us later. (Pssst: The theory is bunk. Thanos has a vag.) (PG-13)

ALSO PLAYING: Kalank If the phrase “Indian partition” strikes you as something to look for at Bed Bath & Beyond, you might benefit from Kalank, a Bollywood extravaganza that’s set just before the 1947 separation of India and Pakistan into two separate countries Herman Cain has never heard of. Against that backdrop of sweeping change, two men engage in a bitter rivalry that doesn’t just pertain to politics, but also encompasses adultery, illicit parentage and polygamy. Damn, and I already made my Herman Cain joke. (NR; playing at Universal Cinemark at CityWalk and Touchstar Cinemas Southchase 7) Peterloo Mike Leigh’s latest drama is described as revisiting an ugly chapter in British history. Which raises the question, “There are other chapters?” The film marks the 200th anniversary of the Peterloo massacre, in which government militiamen mowed down a crowd of reformists. It’s a Mike Leigh movie – can’t they just talk it out? (PG-13; playing at Regal Winter Park Village Stadium 20 & RPX) orlandoweekly.com

AN ELECTRICAL STORM Between time and space duo Xeno & Oaklander BY TYLER BARNEY

O

ver the last 15 years, Xeno & Oaklander have consistently set – and raised – the standard for underground electronic music. The New York-based duo of Miss Liz Wendelbo and Sean McBride have long stood at the vanguard of “minimal synth,” a movement less defined by a particular sound than by a DIY ethos channeled through analog synthesizers. “Our approach to the synthesizer is immediate and impulsive,” Wendelbo says, “and that’s what analog is all about.” The two met in a Brooklyn warehouse where Wendelbo was playing records one night. “Sean came down from his own loft,” Wendelbo recalls. “He liked my set; it was a mix of synth and psych. We formed the band pretty soon after that.” Xeno & Oaklander quickly came to prominence through their performances at music parties hosted by New York DJ and visual artist Pieter Schoolwerth, whose “Wierd” nights paved the way for Wierd Records, the label behind the duo’s first two albums. The label’s first release, a compilation of underground electronic artists, featured tracks from both Xeno & Oaklander and

For [this album], it was the cave, the dwelling of Hypnos, the god of sleep. The atmosphere influences the sound of Martial Canterel, McBride’s long-running the album and the lyrics, too,” she explains. The album closes with “Athena,” an ode to a solo project. From their earliest collaborations, it was Greek goddess and a return to the project’s clear the two were onto something special. early themes.

ANDREA & MUD AND WES MORRISON & THE STRAY HARES, WILL’S PUB, APRIL 18

Andrea & Mud – the partnership of Atlanta musicians Andrea Colburn and Mud Mosely – aren’t just about basic music. This is a band with aesthetic. Dealing in consciously graphic songs that could only soundtrack shady business, their sound is a nouveau-Western romp dripping with pulp and noir. It’s a tough barroom blend of country, blues and rockabilly that’s rendered with deep surf tones and vintage patina. And just to certify their dark-side cred, their latest album (Easy, Sleazy & Greazy) features a cameo by Legendary Shack Shakers visionary J.D. Wilkes. Though they often perform with a full band, the two principals came here as a simple duo. Between them, they handled guitars, a singing saw and a kick drum, which was notably impressive for being done with a backward stomp in stiletto heels. But for whatever gaps this strippeddown arrangement had relative to their full setup, the mileage of their presence and atmosphere carried the show. The long resonance of Mud’s guitar and the bourbon whiplash of Andrea’s vocal personality are, after all, the wild heart of their songs. And besides credit for a colorful performance, extra points go to the Atlanta pair for name-dropping Orlando bands the Woolly Bushmen and the Delusionaires. Opening were local alternative country rockers Wes Morrison and the Stray Hares. They’re a band that are a little obvi-

Between them, Andrea & Mud handled guitars, a singing saw and a kick drum – impressive for being done with a backward stomp in stiletto heels ous and haven’t quite found the pocket live yet. But they’re spirited enough for some good times. Sending the night home was Jacob Miller, far and away the most honky-tonk of the Woolly Bushmen, leading a band of noted locals – all veterans of Brian Chodorcoff’s classic country covers nights at Will’s Pub – across a set of old country songs.

DELTA SLEEP, HIKES, BOGUES AND LETTERS TO PART, SOUNDBAR, APRIL 15

If you were looking to rock out with both the math and the feels, this was the show for you. Headliner Delta Sleep were making their Orlando debut. Like fellow countrymen and near-past revivalists TTNG, this U.K. band are a golden call back to the early-2000s indie landscape where smart, technical and intricate music had a significant profile. And from their showing here, Delta Sleep have made the intersection of math rock and emo primetime real estate again, arriving to a feverish and deafening reception.

Live, their involved rock was all angles and emotions, weaving a melodic topography that features both halcyon post-rock drifts and post-hardcore crashes. Despite all the detail, their surging heart swells prevent the songs from being weighed down with fuss, a nice sense of symmetry for such a technique-driven band. And they lit this crowd up like it was 2005. Your cool uncle would be so proud. Opening Austin band Hikes till some similar soil with their blend of complexity and beauty. Their math-minded music features tons of instrumental latticework that jitters and skitters liberally, but it’s swathed in open, pastoral melodies of evergreen spirit. The dazzle of Nathan James Wilkins’ fancy-ass finger work is sick enough to thrill the guitar nerds, but not so knotty as to eclipse the loveliness of the songs. It all totaled a set that whipped the band and crowd into such equal froth that the performance ended with Wilkins being carried over the crowd on his back while shredding. Triumphant. Although he identifies as emo, solo Nashville opener Bogues steers that vibe down roads more atmospheric and rustic. Instead of the rock core that typically fuels the genre, his songs unfurl in longer, slower breaths. It can get drowsy, but it’s a needed twist on the form. Orlando openers Letters to Part also deal in their own blend of feelings and detail with drama-rock that’s large and designed to evoke. But earnest and true though they may be, their sensibility is dictated by the kind of open bathos that only has currency with the most bleeding or freshmen of hearts. baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

Velvet Sessions: The Psychedelic Furs MUSIC

6:30 p.m. | Hard Rock Hotel, 5800 Universal Blvd. | 407-503-2000 | hardrockhotelorlando.com | $41.54

PHOTO BY MAGGIE BUTLER

The Psychedelic Furs have spent decades toeing that very tricky line between being enigmatic dark-pop icons and John Hughes soundtrack mainstays in ways that many of their ’80s contemporaries haven’t managed. Hence, they retain a certain mystique and underground cachet, while their hit singles regularly get drunkenly bellowed at highschool reunions and old wave nights. The band isn’t chained to one particular song; they can effortlessly toss out a stacked deck of hits across albums like Talk Talk Talk and Mirror Moves. They visited the City Beautiful last back in 2017 for a heavy show at the Plaza with Bash & Pop, but this gig is even more notable for its intimacy. The U.K. post-punk band are returning to Universal’s Hard Rock Hotel to headline their Velvet Sessions series. This isn’t the band’s first Velvet Sessions rodeo – they’ve played this event several times, with sunglasses firmly in place and dramatic gestures on lock, naturally. – Matthew Moyer

Whiskey Business EVENTS

You’re a whiskey fan, eh? More of a rye sort of guy or gal than a wheat-based lover? Either way, that’s good, because Whiskey Business is bringing its unlimited whiskey samples once again to Cheyenne Saloon this week, from locally produced bourbons to single malts from Scotland, small batch distills to single grains, the classics, the latest – everything that involves whiskey (or “whisky,” depending on which culture’s recipe we’re talking about). But the booze-a-palooza doesn’t stop there for those who might not be fond of life on the rye; craft beer and select small bites from some of the city’s hottest restaurants will be available too. – Xander Peters 6 p.m. | Cheyenne Saloon, 120 W.

OUR PICKS FOR THE BEST EVENTS THIS WEEK

The Funk Fest package tour is rolling through the City Beautiful this weekend with, candidly, their strongest lineup yet: a powerhouse gathering of R&B, soul, hip-hop, neo-soul and funk luminaries of yesterday and today. A quick scan through the lineup made us think we were looking at one of those Festify “festival lineups” that we’re seeing all over the internets. The icon Erykah Badu sharing a stage with Bell Biv Devoe, Ginuwine, Monica and Dru Hill? Make sure you stretch before this one, or you’ll definitely pull a few muscles. And if you’re not satisfied with two nights of music, stick around for the women’s empowerment brunch that’s capping off the weekend; West Coast rap royalty Yo-Yo is the special guest. Floored. – MM

Dapper Day EVENTS

PHOTO BY TAMMY GREEN

It’s your time to dress to impress this weekend! Step out in style at the spring edition of Dapper Day. Transform into a Cruella de Vil-inspired flapper or a Snow White from the ’50s; whether your style is vintage chic or fashionably modern, all are welcome. The popular meetup – technically unsanctioned by Disney – takes place at Magic Kingdom on Saturday and Epcot on Sunday. All members of the family are encouraged to dress up, and active and retired service members are invited to wear their dress uniforms. This will be your most elegant trip to a theme park ever. – Sarah Cavacini 8 a.m. Saturday, 9 a.m. Sunday | Magic Kingdom & Epcot, Walt Disney World Resort | dapperday.com | included with park admission

ART BY JANE MOUNT

Yes, yes, you’re right – it’s Record Store Day for print nerds. And much like Record Store Day, Indie Bookstore Day offers special limited editions available only at stores taking part in the celebration, and only on the day itself. So get out your camp chair and line up early for swag like Chuck Palahniuk’s latest, Adjustment Day; a limited-edition version of Women Talking, by Miriam Toews; and laser-cut wooden “literary luminary” pins featuring Margaret Atwood, James Baldwin, Neil Gaiman and Toni Morrison. We’ve only got one independent bookstore in the immediate area, so go support it, won’t you? – Jessica Bryce Young

Florida Puerto Rican Parade EVENTS

¡Oye Boricuas! It’s time to break out your Puerto Rican flags and celebrate your heritage at the third annual Florida Puerto Rican parade. Come to this event to celebrate the Puerto Rican community and culture, as well as the ways Puerto Ricans have contributed to Central Florida. Expect to see representatives from different parts of the community as well as dances and demonstrations. And be on the lookout for reggaeton singer J Alvarez, as he’ll be performing his official album release showcase, La Fama Que Camina 1.5. – Elizabeth Gondar noon | Seneff Arts Plaza, Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, 445 S.

Acid Mothers Temple MUSIC

In August 1945, Hiroshima and Nagasaki were leveled by atomic bombs. Survival in the wake of nuclear destruction must be a horrifically bewildering experience, one that ingrains itself deeply into a cultural psyche and informs what is created by generations of survivors. This residual radiation is the crucible that birthed Godzilla, Akira, Hello Kitty and Acid Mothers Temple. Acid Mothers Temple is a concept more than a band, although it is also a band. Formed as a collective in 1995 to showcase the sound experiments of guitarist Kawabata Makoto, the group quickly ballooned to dozens of members. They attained a cult-like mythology, often shrouding themselves in colorful costumes and a close-lipped reluctance to explain their music. In many ways it is easier to write about Acid Mothers Temple in terms of what they are not: They are not a rock band, they are not a noise band, they are not a jam band. And yet, they are all of these things, fused together by an almost terrifying force that requires a new form that they are in the process of discovering. Not necessarily beautiful, just mutated … – Anthony Mauss with Yamantaka, Sonic Titan | 8 p.m. | Will’s Pub, 1042 N. Mills Ave. | willspub.org | $15-$18

Afrobeat at the Iron Cow Bengali 600 – Orlando’s only regularly playing Afrobeat band – returns to the Iron Cow for their monthly residency this week. They’re bringing along newer band Le Montro, who aren’t even close to Afrobeat, but their moody, gothic aesthetic should provide a stark counterpoint to Bengali 600’s brassy rave-ups. Free beer included with cover! 8 p.m. Wednesday; Iron Cow, 2438 E. Robinson St.; $5; facebook.com/ironcowcafe. Night Shift: Text Orlando Museum of Art’s series of after-hours art parties, Night Shift, continues this month with a focus on text. Diverse performances, installations and activities highlight the artistic power of the printed word in an atmosphere that’s more like a really classy nightclub than a museum. (It’s still definitely a museum, though. No touching!) Enjoy the cash bar and dance around the Chihuly in the rotunda to sounds curated by J.A.S.O.N. and Gay-Z. 7 p.m. Thursday; Orlando Museum of Art, 2416 N. Mills Ave.; $15; omart.org. Freddy vs. Michael Horror fans can flock to Gods & Monsters’ backroom bar, Vault 5421, this weekend for a party celebrating Halloween’s Michael Myers and A Nightmare on Elm Street’s Freddy Krueger. Enjoy themed drinks, a custom mask vendor and raffles for prizes. There will also be someone dancing in a cage, and if that’s a selling point for you, this is definitely the kind of venue you should be frequenting. 7 p.m. Friday; Vault 5421, 5421 International Blvd.; free; godmonsters.com. CloZee French electronic artist Chloé Herry, aka CloZee, is known for blending dancefloor rhythms with international instrumentation and a keen sense of drama. It’s resulted in plenty of crossover appeal; she’s just as likely to have fans who know her from NPR’s Echoes as they do from Electric Forest. She swings through downtown’s Celine this week for a can’t-miss night, even if it’s only to watch her eclectic fan groups interact. 8 p.m. Sunday; Celine Orlando, 22 S.

Orlando Ballet presents Arcadian Broad’s Wonderland: Mad Tales of the Hatter DA N C E

Arcadian Broad, the 22-year-old Orlando Ballet wunderkind, not only choreographed the 70-minute, three-act Wonderland, which finds Lewis Carroll’s perverse Mad Hatter exiled to the London of the 1920s; he also composed some of the music and dances the starring top-hatted role. Local writer-composer Christopher Belt calls Broad’s score “equal parts Sergei Prokofiev and Danny Elfman, with buoyant, off-kilter motifs”; the frenetic choreography features angular twists and hops evoking the dances of the Jazz Age, and Broad’s signature explosive leaps with eccentrically precise, stop-on-a-dime landings. And as if this event needed any extra buzz, there’s a whiff of is-it-a-scandal-or-not? surrounding the recent abrupt announcement that Broad’s contract would not be renewed. In December 2017, Broad was named the first recipient of the company’s newly established Artist in Residence program; just over a year later, and just over a month before this performance, he’s out altogether.

B Y DA N S AVAG E

My best friend’s father is an avid user of social media. He’s retired and spends most of his day posting memes on Facebook and Instagram. Recently, I realized he might not know how Instagram works. I noticed over the past week or so that he has been following, liking and commenting on a lot of Instagram pictures of young gay men. I don’t think he realizes that anyone who follows him can see that activity. At first I was worried, not because he might be gay or bisexual, but because he may still be “in the closet.” He’s married, with a son (my friend), and to my knowledge, if he is bisexual or gay, nobody knows. I thought about warning him that his activity is public, but then I saw more. Not only has he been liking pictures of younger looking men, he’s also been liking and following accounts of very young boy models. Underage boys. I don’t want to jump to conclusions, but the evidence is there. So now I’ve gone from wanting to warn this guy that he may be accidentally outing himself by not knowing how apps work to feeling morally obligated to tell my friend that his dad is into dudes and might be a pedophile. I can only imagine the ramifications this news would have on him and his family. Best Friend’s Dad “I’m sympathetic to BFD’s concerns,” says Dr. Michael Seto, director of forensic rehabilitation research at the Royal Ottawa Health Care Group and an expert on pedophilia and sexual offending. “I know many people wonder what to do if they suspect someone is sexually attracted to children. And I understand how much of a burden it can feel like to keep a big secret, especially from a best friend.” But before we discuss your options and responsibilities here, BFD, let’s get our terms straight: If by “young boy models” you mean teenage boys past puberty but under the age of consent, then your friend’s father’s behavior is icky and inappropriate – but it is not, by itself, evidence that he’s a pedophile. “Clinically, pedophilia refers to attraction to prepubescent children,” Seto says, “though I know it’s still commonly used in public to refer to attraction to anyone underage.” Actually, the term “pedophile” gets tossed around so indiscriminately these days that some of my own readers have used it to describe (or condemn) people in their 40s or 50s who are attracted to (or fucking) grown men and women in their 20s and 30s. For the record: An attraction to younger/ youngish adults does not make someone a pedophile. If that were the case, almost everyone on earth could be described (and condemned) as a pedophile. Seto estimates that just 1 percent of men are in fact attracted to prepubescent children. So depending on your point of view – depending on whether you’re a glass 99 percent empty or 1 46

percent full kind of guy – pedophilia is either exceedingly rare or alarmingly common. “Attraction to underage teens – boys or girls – is more common,” Seto says, “though it’s hard to estimate how common because it’s a taboo subject. We get hints from the popularity of certain porn genres like ‘schoolgirl,’ ‘twink,’ ‘barely legal’ and so on. We also have a hint from how so many fashion models begin working in their teens.” But Seto emphasizes that sexual attraction does not equal sexual behavior. “The Instagram follows and likes may indeed suggest an attraction to underage boys,” said Seto. “And it may even be pedophilia if the models are that young. But that doesn’t mean his friend’s father is going to do anything beyond following or liking.” Understanding what separates pedophiles who’ve offended against children (read: pedophiles who’ve sexually abused children) from pedophiles who’ve never inappropriately touched a child is an important focus of Seto’s research, BFD, and his insights could inform your course of action. “One thing we know is that people who are low in self-control are more likely to act on sexual as well as nonsexual impulses,” Seto says. “That low self-control shows up in other ways, including addictions, problems holding down a job, problems in adult relationships, unreliability and criminal behavior. My hypothesis is that someone who doesn’t show these signs is unlikely to offend against a child. They might look at child pornography, though, which is illegal and problematic, or they might look at legal images of children – like on social media – as a sexual outlet.” Viewing child pornography is hugely problematic because it creates demand for more child pornography, which leads to more children being abused. But even if no new child porn were ever created, sharing images of the rape of a child is itself a violation of that child. And while it may not be pleasant to contemplate what might be going through a pedophile’s mind when they look at innocent images of children, it’s not against the law for someone with a sexual interest in children to dink around on Instagram. “Returning to BFD’s question about whether to disclose, I don’t think it’s an easy yes-or-no answer,” Seto says. “It depends on what else BFD knows about the father. I’m required by law and professional ethics to report [someone] if I believe an identifiable child is at imminent risk. This mandatory reporting requirement is NOT triggered simply by knowing whether someone is sexually attracted to children. Instead, I have to consider information like whether the person has ever expressed fantasies or urges about a specific child, whether they work with children regularly, whether they live with children who are in their attraction category or whether they have ever engaged in suspi-

“ T H E L I K E D B OY S ”

cious behavior like direct messaging with a child.” Does your friend’s dad work with underage boys? Does he sometimes look after underage boys – say, grandsons? Do they have sleepovers with friends at grandpa’s house? Has he ever behaved in an inappropriate manner around underage boys – e.g., inventing reasons to be alone with them, offering them booze or drugs, or making suggestive comments offline or online? “In the absence of these kinds of red flags, what we have here is someone who might be sexually attracted to underage boys but who might not pose a serious risk to children,” explains Seto. “So while not disclosing might mean some risk of a child being harmed, disclosing could definitely cause harm to the best friend, to the father, and to their relationship.” You’re in an agonizing position, BFD. You essentially have to weigh the chance – most likely very remote – that your friend’s dad would harm a child against the near certainty that telling your friend about his father’s behavior would do irrevocable harm to their relationship. Your relationship with your friend would also be at risk; this is definitely one of those circumstances where the messenger risks being shot. Figuratively speaking. I hope. Personally, BFD, in your shoes, I would err on the side of protecting even a hypothetical child. I would say something to the dad, perhaps via direct message (you could create a throwaway account and reach out anonymously), and I would also say something to my friend. But I would emphasize what the best available research tells us about pedophilia: It’s not something a person chooses, and most pedophiles never sexually abuse children. (And not everyone who sexually abuses a child is a pedophile.) So even if your best friend’s father is attracted to prepubescent boys – if he’s looking at prepubescent children and not teenagers who happen to be just under the age of consent – that doesn’t mean he’s harmed a child or would ever harm a child. He may need help to avoid offending – if, worst-case scenario, he actually is attracted to children – and being held accountable by loved ones is one way pedophiles avoid offending. Seto is the author of Pedophilia and Sexual Offending Against Children: Theory, Assessment, and Intervention and more.
