Readers react to stories from last week.
seem like a good idea. Our state Constitution is getting pretty embarrassing with the amount of crap that gets put in it.
On March 29, we reported on the partisan clash over changing Florida’s Constitution, which was in full view last week when a House panel approved a proposal that would make it harder for citizens and groups to put measures on the ballot. On one side, Democrats said the change would infringe on First Amendment rights. On the other, the Republican lawmaker sponsoring the proposal argued changes are needed to “maintain the integrity and purpose of the state Constitution.”
On March 29, we reported that local chain Foxtail Coffee is officially going strawless. Known for brewing ethically sourced beans in almost any style you can imagine, Foxtail will be transitioning all their locations to strawless lids. “Big impacts of small change help us do our part in limiting our environmental footprint,” said co-founder Iain Yeakle on Foxtail’s website.
@Adam Lenz It’s not like they follow them anyway. @Derek Perron I’m not entirely opposed to this. However, this is just a power grab because voters keep overruling Republicans on their agenda. @Patrick Floto Good, constitutional amendments are not written in precise or meaningful language. They are written in persuasive language to make voting “yes”
@Anthony Rigsby Virtue signal received loud and clear. @Brandon Hudson To please all of the vegan hippies of Orlando, no doubt. You guys have really ruined a once great restaurant scene in our city. @John Lippincott Finally, no more straws is going to save the planet. Just like ending aerosol hairspray would end global warming. Oh wait, it’s not global warming anymore. It’s climate change, because that is easier for scientists to explain.

Gov. Ron DeSantis suspends fees for SunPass users until June, lawmakers want to limit how high you get on medical marijuana, and other news you may have missed last week. »
Gov. Ron DeSantis suspends fees, penalties for SunPass users until June: Florida officials have imposed a $4.6 million fine on the company that oversaw the botched SunPass conversion, and are also making internal changes to the state toll collection system’s management. FDOT announced the penalty for Conduent State & Local Solution last week. Gov. Ron DeSantis has ordered the suspension of fees and penalties for SunPass and toll-by-plate customers until June 1. The SunPass system conversion was supposed to be completed last June. Instead, the system was overwhelmed by volume as it went live, and parts of the system were down for a month.

More than 5.2 million people will call Central Florida home in 2030, report estimates: Last week, leaders noted the regional changes predicted in the Orlando Economic Partnership’s 2030 report. The report projects that Central Florida will add roughly 1,500 people per week, buoying the population to over 5.2 million residents, up from the current 4.3 million people. It also estimates that industry employment will grow by 19 percent – 10 percentage points faster than the U.S. average – and will create about 500,000 new jobs, with the fastest growing industry likely to be in home and healthcare services. By 2030, more than 135,000 additional students will be enrolled in schools, creating a demand for more than 29,000 new teachers. And roughly 600,000 more vehicles will be traveling Interstate 4 within about a decade.

Florida lawmakers want to limit how high you can get on medical marijuana: Florida patients can now smoke medical marijuana, but some Republican leaders want to limit how high they can get. The House is considering a proposal that would cap THC levels in medical marijuana at 10 percent, Rep. Ray Rodrigues, R-Estero, said in an interview with the News Service of Florida. No bill has been filed, and Rodrigues said legislation is still “up in the air.” It hasn’t been determined yet whether the cap would only apply to smokable cannabis or other medical marijuana products as well.

Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz proposes climate counter-proposal dubbed ‘Green Real Deal’: U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz is drafting a resolution in Congress dubbed the “Green Real Deal,” a counterproposal to the “Green New Deal” proposed by U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez last month. Though Gaetz’s proposal bears a resemblance to the Green New Deal by calling for a more efficient energy grid and more renewable energy, Gaetz’s plan proposes making nuclear energy cheaper; would attempt to nix special interest investments and eliminate regulations that Gaetz claimed block more hydroelectric dams from being built; and would call for carbon sequestration (pumping carbon dioxide underground into dry oil wells) and protection of U.S. innovation in climate technology from intellectual property theft.

Orlando attorney John Morgan’s firm still relies on cheap labor despite pushing for $15 minimum wage in Florida: Orlando attorney John Morgan has personally pledged to spend $1 million on his latest political committee, Florida for a Fair Wage, on his mission to raise Florida’s minimum wage to $15 an hour. But while doing so, his law firm, Morgan & Morgan, is reportedly outsourcing calls to third-party call centers that pay employees, some off-shore, wages ranging from $12 an hour to as low as $600 a month. “We are hiring as fast as we can to handle all the call volume we receive,” a Morgan & Morgan spokesperson said. “We rely on vendors for our overflow.” orlandoweekly.com

TEMPORARY INSANITY Trump, Brexit and the dumbing down of democracy BY J EFFREY C. BI L L M A N
At a campaign rally last week under U.S. and international law – and in Michigan, the president of the United States and keeper of the world’s largest nuclear arsenal – after asserting that he’s smarter than “the elites” and lying that the Mueller probe had been a “total exoneration, complete vindication” – told a sea of white people that had Hillary Clinton been elected, America wouldn’t be producing as much oil and gas. “You’d be doing wind. Windmills. Wheeee. And if it doesn’t blow, you can forget about television for that night. ‘Darling, I want to watch television.’ ‘I’m sorry! The wind isn’t blowing.’ I know a lot about wind.” (Fact check: He doesn’t.) A few days later, the brain genius announced that, to stem the surge of migrants fleeing poverty in El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala, he would cut off aid to those countries, because nothing makes poor people stop fleeing poverty faster than making them poorer. Donald Trump also threatened to shut down the Mexico-U.S. border, which would disrupt $300 billion in trade and wreak economic havoc. Border Patrol officials reported more than 100,000 apprehensions in March, the highest in a decade. Nearly all are seeking asylum – a right guaranteed
nine in 10 entered at legal ports of entry. The wall won’t stop them, and cutting off aid will only make things worse. Cutting off aid while shutting down the border would be both self-defeating and cruel. Which is to say: Of course that’s what Trump’s going to do. Which is also to say: American politics is so incredibly dumb right now. The only consolation, if you can call it that, is that British politics is somehow even dumber. Caveat emptor: I claim no expertise on British politics, nor the intricacies of Brexit. But the United Kingdom’s looming maybe-divorce from the European Union – a tangled knot of economic and cultural connections that proved easier to talk about undoing than to actually undo – shares a lot of DNA with the menace of the Trump administration. In fact, these events share a common foundation in a moment of populist insanity. The 52–48 Brexit referendum, passed five months before Trump’s election, was a populist revolt against the urban, multicultural elite, couched in the rhetoric of economic anxiety, not-so-thinly masking resentment of immigrants and refugees. It was propped up by sweeping promises – untethered to reality – of better
health care and trade deals. It also passed because few thought the country would be insane enough to pass it. The polls showed Remain in the lead, so Remainers were complacent. Sound familiar? The biggest outstanding issue is the Irish border. Since the 1998 Good Friday agreement, the border between the independent Republic of Ireland and the U.K.’s Northern Ireland has been completely open for trade and movement. Post-Brexit, that could no longer be the case; there would be checkpoints, inspections and customs. And nobody wanted that. But years of negotiation failed to produce a viable workaround. The last-ditch effort was the so-called Irish backstop, which would keep Northern Ireland in the EU’s single market until at least December 2020 and effectively commit the U.K. to the EU’s customs union until both entities agree it’s no longer necessary. But that’s proven too soft a Brexit for the hardliners in Prime Minister Theresa May’s party, and not soft enough for the members of Parliament who think Brexit was idiotic to begin with. As a result, no position – a hard Brexit, May’s deal, a softer Brexit or abandoning Brexit altogether – could achieve a majority. It was, as the Brits say, a shambles. Friday was supposed to be Brexit Day. May, however, got a reprieve from the EU to give her one last chance to sell her agreement. But Parliament rejected it for the third time. On Monday – after I filed this column – Parliament was set to consider six alternatives, none of which have passed before: May’s deal, but giving the U.K. the unilateral right to exit the backstop (assuming the EU agrees); a no-deal, hard Brexit (which experts believe would be catastrophic); two proposals to keep the U.K. in an EU customs union (one of which nearly passed last week); and two motions to call a second, “are you sure about this?” referendum (as in 2016, polls show a slim lead for Remain). The Brits could get a do-over pretty soon, with a better understanding of the consequences that furtive spurt of right-wing populism actually entailed. Americans will have to wait until November 2020 to decide whether this is the kind of country we want to be. feedback@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

Florida Rep. Darren Soto files bill to make Puerto Rico a state
Lawsuit alleges Florida veterans charity scammed $6.5 million from donors instead of helping vets
BY M O NI VET T E CO RD EI RO
U
The U.S. Federal Trade Commission and the Florida Attorney General’s Office are seeking injunctive relief against AVF, as well as restitution, rescission or reformation of contracts, disgorgement of ill-gotten monies, and a refund of stolen money.
ays after U.S. Department of Education Secretary Betsy DeVos announced cuts to federal funding for the Special Olympics, U.S. Reps. Stephanie Murphy, Val Demings and Darren Soto joined in chorus Thursday to denounce the decision. It’s an issue that affects what happens in their own backyard, as Orlando is set to host the 2022 Special Olympics – an event that’s expected to provide a $61 million surge to the local economy, according to a news release from the congressional members. The upcoming 50th anniversary games are set to become the largest humanitarian event in Florida history. In a letter to DeVos, who comes from Amway Center/ Orlando Magic royalty, the congressional members stated that they’d do whatever it takes to prevent the proposed cuts. “The Special Olympics is dedicated to empowering people with intellectual disabilities, and the administration’s proposal to de-fund its programs is callous and misguided,” the members wrote, noting that the Special Olympics is the largest global sports organization for people with intellectual disabilities. “Congressional support for the Special Olympics has been longstanding, strong and bipartisan – and we intend to keep it that way.” Since the administration announced its decision to cut funding earlier this week, DeVos has stood firm on her 2020 budget proposal. “Given our current budget realities, the federal government cannot fund every worthy program, particularly ones that enjoy robust support from private donations,” DeVos said in statement Wednesday.
.S. Rep. Darren Soto has filed a bipartisan bill that would admit Puerto Rico into the union as the 51st state. “It’s time to end 120 years of colonialism for Puerto Ricans,” Soto, D-Orlando, said Thursday in a statement. “Today, along with Jenniffer González Colón, I’m proud to introduce the first direct Puerto Rico Statehood bill to admit the island as the 51st state of the union.” Soto made the announcement in Washington, D.C., with Puerto Rico Gov. Ricardo Rosselló, Democrat, and Rep. Jenniffer González-Colón, the Republican resident commissioner of Puerto Rico in the House. The island has been a U.S. territory since 1898, and Puerto Ricans were finally granted citizenship in 1917. But the more than 3 million residents who live on the colony can’t vote in presidential elections and have no representation in Congress. The Puerto Rican Admission Act of 2019 filed by Soto and González-Colón would admit Puerto Rico into the union on “equal footing” with the other states within 90 days of the president’s signature. “Puerto Rico’s colonial status is not working,” Soto said. “Look no further than the abysmal Hurricane María recovery efforts. … Puerto Ricans need their own U.S. senators and representatives to fight for the needs and hold Washington accountable.” Some Puerto Rican advocacy organizations have denounced the bill, with the National Puerto Rican Agenda calling it “illtimed, ill-advised and invalid.” “At a time when thousands of Puerto Ricans continued to struggle with the losses suffered from Hurricanes Irma and María, and when the Trump administration is seemingly intent on not providing already appropriated aid to Puerto Rico so its people can live with a roof over their heads and food on their tables, HR 1965 comes as a divisive diversion from attending the serious issues that afflict our people,” the organization said in a statement. While Puerto Rico is still reeling from the catastrophic effects of María more than a year after the storm, President Donald Trump reportedly told Republican senators that Puerto Rico was getting too much hurricane relief funding compared to other states at $91 billion, an inaccurate figure according to the Washington Post because that’s actually the amount of damage María caused in Puerto Rico. The Post reports that Trump told his top advisers that he doesn’t want “another single dollar going to the island.” “Democracy and equality for American citizens is an issue of justice and civil rights,” González-Colón, who has filed similar statehood bills several times, said in a statement. “As American citizens, [we] want to have the same benefits and duties as all American citizens have in the states.” Gov. Ricardo Rosselló said that only after María did the rest of the country and the world finally see the island’s reality – that more than 3 million U.S. citizens are “disenfranchised, don’t have the power to vote, don’t get equal resources and are treated with injustice that is just simply unacceptable in modern times.”

n a lawsuit filed March 27 in Florida’s Middle District Court, a Sarasota nonprofit, American Veterans Foundation Inc., is accused of bilking more than $6.5 million from donors who thought they were sending care packages to troops overseas and helping homeless vets. The lawsuit alleges that the “donations almost entirely benefited” the group’s founder, Paul K. Monville, who ran the nonprofit between 2014 and 2017. Monville is accused of recruiting for-profit groups to call and solicit donations, which usually ranged between $10 to $50. However, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, 92 percent of the money that AVF earned went to Monville and his fundraisers. In 2014, the group only helped one (1) homeless veteran, making a single payment to him of $1,565, or 0.2 percent of its annual contributions, claims the lawsuit. Later that year, the group decided to stop assisting homeless vets (or, that one homeless vet), but continued to advertise the service and solicit donations. The group also stated that they offered counseling and referral programs despite never spending a dollar on such programs, says the lawsuit. Here’s one of the more grueling parts of the suit: From 2014 through 2016, AVF collected over $3.5 million in contributions from donors but reported spending just $47,246 to send out a total of 306 “We Care” packages. And despite contributions jumping from $929,963 in 2015 to over $2.1 million in 2016, AVF’s “We Care” expenditures decreased from $15,351 in 2015 (1.7 percent of annual contributions; sent to 69 deployed service members) to only $1,845 in 2016 (0.1 percent of annual contributions; sent to 19 service members). Moreover, defendants made little effort to advertise the availability of “We Care” packages to deployed service members, the very people the program was purportedly serving. Until July 2017, defendants did nothing more than include a link on AVF’s website through which service members could request a care package. Defendant’s representations to donors that their contributions support a program devoted to sending care packages to deployed service members are deceptive.

Life according to the Orlando activist who’s growing or foraging everything he eats for a year BY XA N D ER P ET ER S
R
ob Greenfield is tired. He’s lonely. He’s having digestive issues. Worst of all, he’s hungry.
It’s late February, day 107 of the environmental activist’s latest project: For an entire year, he’s either growing or foraging all of his food. Since Nov. 11, every crumb he’s consumed has been harvested from his garden or one of the community gardens he’s created, or foraged from Orlando’s urban center or the Florida coast. As he stares at the molding coconuts he intended to turn into oil over
the weekend, he can’t help but think of how easy it’d be to walk down the street to grab a quick, easy meal at East End Market. But if he cracks, he’d disappoint his more than 500,000 social media followers. This has been his toughest project yet, he says. It’s harder than the 104 days it took him to cycle 4,700 miles crosscountry on a bamboo bicycle towing a solar panel-covered trailer while only allowing himself to drink naturally sourced water and eat unpackaged food. It’s harder than when he flew one-way to Panama with no money and only the clothes on his back, his passport and proof of income (for CONTINUED ON PAGE 16

border crossing) to prove he could backpack his way home to San Diego using the kindness of others. It’s harder than the time he created a trash-bag suit and added an additional 4.5 pounds of trash each day for a month while living in New York City to raise awareness of the amount of waste each American generates. Sitting in a chair next to his 100-square-foot tiny house in Audubon Park, Greenfield pulls his knees up to his chest and hugs his shins. He’s barefoot. There’s a slight shadow of dirt caked into the wrinkles in his hands, stains from the time he spends digging through soil. Greenfield understands why people consider him overzealous. He’s a 32-year-old who says he only spends the meager money he earns through public speaking; who donated the $2,500 he made from his book Dude Making a Difference and the $30,000 he earned from his 2016 Discovery Channel show Free Ride, in which he trekked across South America with little money or planning; who got a vasectomy in his mid-20s so as not to contribute to a growing population; and who, despite a few unavoidable amenities, lives almost totally off the grid in suburbia. “Some people look at me and think that maybe I think in a very extreme manner, and in some ways I do,” Greenfield says. “But when you look at global norms, my life isn’t extreme at all. The mainstream American lifestyle is what’s extreme.”
Opportunity brought Greenfield to Orlando.
He got acquainted with the City Beautiful in 2016 during a speaking tour. He and his former partner were looking for a place to move to from San Diego. Greenfield says he liked Orlando because it seemed open to sustainable change, and it needed it. “It’s that kind of middle area where I actually feel like I can make change,” Greenfield says. “Chris [Castro] was like the perfect example of that, being the director of sustainability for the city and accomplishing so much with Fleet Farming,” a nonprofit program that develops gardens on residents’ lawns. They moved here in December 2017, at first crashing with people like Castro and Sarah Robinson, the pastor at Audubon Park Covenant Church, who first met Greenfield at a potluck for Fleet Farming several years ago. Greenfield asked to renovate Robinson’s home garden in return for a place to stay for four months while they set up camp. She agreed. “For me, the idea of bringing sustainability and helping people imagine a different way of doing life is really powerful and is definitely part of what my passion is at the church,” Robinson says. “He’s showing people what’s possible and then inviting them to think about what things they might be able to change.” In the last year, Greenfield’s launched three community projects: Gardens for Single Moms, which provided gardens to five single-parent families in Audubon Park (Greenfield plans to expand the program into “Gardens for People”); Community Fruit Trees, which has allowed Greenfield to plant 110 fruit trees in front yards, public parks and elsewhere; and the Free Seed Project, which Greenfield says has sent out 2,000 starter gardening kits. Greenfield believes what you eat should reflect your beliefs, which is why he’s taken on his latest project. But what exactly does urban foraging mean? Technically, you could forage through your pantry or fridge. Browsing a grocery aisle meets the literal definition of foraging as 16
well. “Generally, what it means is that I won’t eat anything that anyone else grows intentionally as food,” Greenfield says. He’s nixed dumpster diving – for now – and won’t let himself pick from someone else’s garden unless he’s working in it. But he does let himself pick fruit, or go to wooded areas to collect wild mushrooms and yams, or fish in a lake or ocean. At its core the project is a protest of the global food system. In 2012, America’s largest factory farms produced 13 times more waste than does the human population, according to the nonprofit group Food and Water Watch. A report from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations also found that consumers in wealthy countries waste almost as much food (222 million tons) per year as the entire population of sub-Saharan Africa consumes (230 million tons.) But Greenfield doesn’t expect everyone to follow his lead. “My goal is to inspire moderation,” he says. “I want people to start to live in a way that they feel really good about, where they feel in balance with their environment, with the earth, with humanity, and in a way that causes less harm to other people and species.” This is the paradox that defines Greenfield: To inspire moderation, he goes to extremes, even if costs him things – love, companionship – he says he values. “The thing I struggle the most with is I’m very driven with what I’m doing, so that can leave relationships to be less prioritized, which is somewhat hypocritical because I value love so much, but yet can neglect it for … my mission, my work,” Greenfield says. He adds: “When you’re walking around [New York City] covered in trash for 30 days, it’s not exactly easy to be making love and paying full attention to that person.”
Greenfield stands up and walks over to the outdoor kitchen he’s set up near his home. He starts slicing up a grapefruit. The kitchen, built from reused materials, is nestled underneath an awning. From left to right on its wooden counter, there’s a metal Berkey jug that filters his drinking water, a large blue 55-gallon barrel that’s rigged with a hose to intercept rainwater from the top of the awning, a sink and a home biogas stove. Connected to the stove is a hose that slithers around to the back fence. Situated about 20 feet away from the stove, it’s connected to a “bio-digester,” which acts like a stomach: Filled with water and bacteria, it breaks down food matter to a gas that powers the stove via the hose. The water he uses is recycled rainwater, and not a drop goes into a sewer system. Instead, it filters into other places and uses, such as into the barrel on the kitchen counter, which he uses to wash dishes. (The leftover “gray water” from his sink is funneled into his gardens’ banana plants planted along the back fence via a separate hose.) Across the yard are two 275-gallon totes he uses to catch water from the roof of the property owner’s home – the space was provided to Greenfield on the condition that he’d help the owner live sustainably and tend to her garden. Next to the barrels is an “outdoor shower,” though it’s more akin to a place where he dumps a bucket of cold rainwater on himself from behind a fence-like barrier. The inside of his tiny house smells like wood and Nag Champa. Using 100 percent repurposed materials and with the help of volunteers, it cost him less than $1,500 to
ORLANDO WEEKLY ● APRIL 3-9, 2019 ● orlandoweekly.com
build. Only 30 pounds of materials were left over. He uses them for fire kindling. The shelves inside are littered with homemade goods. Honey wine sits on one of the top shelves in the corner, a product of the beehive he keeps in the yard. Next to it is a jug of Jun, a kombucha-like drink made from honey and tea. There are jars of fermenting kale stems, dozens of pumpkins and sweet potatoes, and a small freezer filled with more. The wooden chair he got from a yard sale. His desk was made from scrap wood including discarded shipping pallets, as was his bed frame with storage built underneath. The flooring was recovered from a flooded home. The shelves themselves are from Habitat for Humanity. Greenfield’s house isn’t insulated. In late January, when Orlando was at its coldest, he stuffed his clothes into gaps in the ceiling. The same cracks provide a breeze
during warm weather. There’s no indoor plumbing; he uses an outdoor compost toilet that’s situated discreetly behind the house – luckily the fence around the yard is tall. It’s open-air and doesn’t smell because he sprinkles sawdust over his waste; there’s not a fly in sight. The toilet system is 100 percent closed-loop, meaning the 10-gallon bucket underneath the throne’s head collects the waste, which he turns into “humanure.” As a toilet paper substitute, he uses the leaves of the blue spur flower that’s growing in the backyard. The plant is from the mint family, so it smells good too.
In 2015, the average size of new houses built in the U.S. peaked at 2,687 square feet, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Over 42 years, the average new U.S. house has increased in size by more than 1,000 square feet,
up from an average size of 1,660 square feet in 1973, the earliest year data was collected. “But we know for sure happiness has not doubled in that same amount of time,” Greenfield offers. Americans, indeed, have grown less satisfied with their lives in recent years. The Gallup-Sharecare Well-Being Index, which surveys Americans annually on their sense of well-being, found that 2017 was the worst year on record since the survey began in 2008, at the height of the Great Recession. As a kid growing up in Ashland, Wisconsin, in the small two-bedroom house he shared between his mother and three siblings, Greenfield dreamed of living in excess. During summers in college at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, when he wasn’t binge drinking and chasing women, he worked 80-hour weeks selling educational books door-to-door. He says he made a killing.
After finishing his degree, he moved to San Diego in 2011, where he and several others launched a marketing company. Then he left to start his own company, whose bread-and-butter product was hotel key-card advertising. But an epiphany – what he vaguely describes as a waking up to how his actions were harming the environment – would bring all that tumbling down. By February 2012, Greenfield had given up massmarketed products, like deodorant, and switched to a mostly plant-based diet. Later that year, he sold his car and bought a bike. In 2013, he began growing his food and got rid of his last pair of business slacks. He spent a week on the streets to learn about homelessness. He also embarked on what would be the first of two cross-country cycling trips he’d take to raise awareness about sustainability. Over a distance of 4,700 miles, he only used 160 gallons of naturally sourced water, created just two pounds of trash, plugged into five outlets without ever flipping a single switch, and consumed 280 pounds of food from grocery store dumpsters. In 2014, he canceled his last credit card and paid off his last debt; finished a year without showering (he used water sources such as a leaky fire hydrant); and traveled moneyless for the first time. In that time, his message began gaining traction on social media as he traveled the country documenting his Food Waste Fiasco initiative, during which he ate solely from grocery store dumpsters for two months. Greenfield was just getting started. In 2015, he said goodbye to his phone, the last bill to his name; committed to rigorous standards for flying due to carbon emissions (he will only fly if it’s for a good cause, such as a 37-stop speaking tour he did across Europe); and moved off the grid in San Diego to a 50-square-foot tiny house he purchased for $950. In 2016, he auctioned off that tiny house for $10,000 (on the basis of his celebrity) and used it to build 10 tiny houses for the homeless; closed his bank account and decreased his net worth down to $3,600; and vowed to make no more than $5,000 a year and to have no more than that amount in possessions. This isn’t altruistic, Greenfield insists, and he’s aware of how ludicrous his lifestyle sounds. But it’s part of his commitment, he says, “to earn less than federal poverty threshold every year,” or a little more than $12,000 a year for a single person, according to the 2019 federal poverty guidelines. “Money is the simplest way of outsourcing our burden onto somebody else,” Greenfield says. “If we need something, all we do is hand some money over and then we have what we need, and we don’t have to think about where that came from, how other people were treated, the impact that it had.” Greenfield’s also opted out of receiving health care provided under the Affordable Care Act. Given the amount of money he’s made in recent years – roughly $8,000 in 2018 – he’d qualify for Medicaid. But if he opted in, Greenfield says, it might damage his message. “The problem is that by me accepting free health care, I risk losing legitimacy far too much from people that are my critics,” Greenfield says, without mentioning who those critics are. “I don’t want to give people an excuse to basically write off what I’m doing.” He spits out a seed from the grapefruit. “So what do I have to do if I break my arm? I have a medical debt and I have to pay it off,” Greenfield says. “My

respect of a lot of people and it’s just so …” She hesitates. “People have been so generous.” Greenfield’s sister set $30,000 as the GoFundMe goal. As of press time, weeks after the incident, almost 500 people had contributed more than $18,000. The green gospel carries far, it seems, as does Greenfield’s ecstatic personality. It’s a charisma that’s inspired followers to take similar measures, from cutting down the amount of flights they take to investing more in homegrown gardening. He’s bringing much-needed awareness to issues of consumerism and consumption, says Tim Center, the executive director at Sustainable Florida, though his methods are “probably not for everybody.” Center thinks that’s a good thing. In the long run, Greenfield isn’t sure it will matter. “I think most people, considering they see me trying, would assume that I think we can change the world, that I must have a positive outlook on the future,” he says. “But the reality is that I think that it’s extremely unlikely.” He leans back in the chair again, pulls his knees to his chest and spits another seed. “It’s meaningful because life matters. And so if we can have a positive impact on life around us, if we can make life better, if we can reduce suffering, all of that matters because life matters,” Greenfield says. “But we shouldn’t be delusional in thinking that making these small changes means we’re living an environmentally friendly life, because none of us are living a life of regeneration. We’re all living a life of destruction.” xpeters@orlandoweekly.com

main health care is taking care of myself, and my secondary health care is that most things that I would deal with don’t cost that much.”
For all that’s DIY about Greenfield, he doesn’t
make his own soap. A friend buys a natural brand for him and ships it to his post office box. He doesn’t use it much. “The reality is that if I was to wash that table with soap, I’m not really doing anything,” he says, pointing to his outdoor kitchen. “So I don’t use soap. You don’t get the bacteria off the table when you use soap. It’s one of those American delusions.” “Delusional” is a word Greenfield often repeats. He’s not delusional about the fact that the foods we eat can harm others, or that products like deodorant and lip balm are unnecessary to human existence (though perhaps we’ve developed to the point where we’re permitted such luxuries). Neither is he delusional about death: In the worst of circumstances, such as cancer, Greenfield says he’d refuse chemotherapy and let nature take its course. “That’s the type of delusion I’m not buying into, and that’s why I am very confident that if I need to die, I’m going to choose death,” he says. “The way that I look at it is that if you believe life is important, then the best thing you can do is make way for that life. But by holding on as much as we can, what we’re doing is we’re killing future generations and giving them the worst quality of life.” 18
It’s not a happy take. Still, to scroll through Greenfield’s social media accounts is to see a happy person, which, by all measures, he appears to be. But he’s always been different, his aunt Louise Greenfield says. “Robin doesn’t approach things like that with my attitude, like, ‘Oh you’re never gonna get anywhere near that’ and ‘You’re going to look foolish to risk so much,’” she says. “He wouldn’t think that way. He aims for the sky and maybe he reaches the sky, or maybe gets close to the sky, or maybe he doesn’t get close to the sky, but he knows he tried.” Louise Greenfield points to a recent family tragedy as a testament to his impact. Last month, in the middle of the night, Greenfield’s mother’s house in Wisconsin burned down. His brother, who lives there, was at work, but his mother was there and was forced out into a near-zero-degree weather without time to put on a jacket. They lost nearly everything, including the family cat. The next day, Greenfield wrote to his followers on social media. He rarely makes requests online, but he asked them to donate to his family’s GoFundMe. “When I’ve seen so many people make donations of all sizes for my sister and one of my other nephews’ benefits, it kind of shapes my assumptions about the proportion of humanity that’s bad versus the proportion that’s good,” Louise says. “I think Robin has attracted the attention and the

TWO MILD AND CIVILIZED GUYS Don’t call it a comeback when Martin and Short take the stage – they’re not living in the past, and neither should you BY A L A N S C U L L E Y
W
STEVE MARTIN AND MARTIN SHORT: NOW YOU SEE THEM, SOON YOU WON’T 9:30 p.m. Friday, April 5 Hard Rock Live, 6050 Universal Blvd. 407-351-5483 hardrock.com $150-$300 PHOTO BY MICHAEL LOTHROP
hen Steve Martin and Martin Short take the stage for their Now You See Them, Soon You Won’t show – the latest version of the two-man show they’ve been touring around the country for several years now – don’t expect to see comedy sketches or either performer doing characters they’ve made famous over the past four decades. Martin won’t roll out King Tut or his Wild and Crazy Guy from Saturday Night Live, and Short won’t get into full garb to become Ed Grimley. When we spoke to Steve Martin last week via phone, he confirmed this. “We really wanted to make it new and not a nostalgia show,” Martin. “The problem is, if you’re doing a nostalgia [ show where] you do all of your old bits, you never really feel sincere. You feel like the applause is ‘Oh yeah, I remember that’ rather than actually laughing.” In fact, the show is so new that it has even evolved considerably since last May when Netflix debuted a show filmed in Greenville, South Carolina, earlier in the tour, which was billed as An Evening You Will Forget for the Rest of Your Life. The Netflix special earned nominations for multiple 2018 Emmys, including Outstanding Variety Special (Pre-Recorded) and Outstanding Writing for a Variety Special, but Martin and Short have not rested on their laurels, putting in plenty of new content to go with the new name for this year’s tour. “At first, we changed out everything, and then we realized there were certain bits the audience wanted to see again,” Martin says of the current show. “So we put them back in and now we’re at about 70 percent new material and then 30 percent on demand.” The Martin and Short show is not stand-up or sketch comedy. Instead, it works as almost a free-wheeling conversation between the two comedy legends, mixing good-natured insults, some memorable stories from throughout their careers, and music. Short, accompanied by Jimmy Kimmel Live pianist Jeff Babko, showcases his considerable talents as a singer, and Martin, joined by a bluegrass band, plays his signature banjo and performs a song or two. The chemistry and friendship that Martin and Short enjoy is obvious on stage, and it’s a friendship that has endured for more than 30 years, since they met while making the 1986 film Three Amigos. At the time of that film, Martin (now 73) was already a comedy superstar. He was the go-to guest host in the early seasons of Saturday Night Live, and had performed his stand-up comedy show at some
of the largest venues in the country and released several hit comedy albums (including 1977’s Let’s Get Small and 1978’s A Wild and Crazy Guy). Three Amigos was part of his fruitful late-1970s/early ’80s career as a movie actor, including such films as The Jerk, Pennies From Heaven and All of Me. Short, by the time of Three Amigos, had gained considerable popularity as a featured performer on the weekend late-night comedy sketch show SCTV and was coming off of his single season in the cast of Saturday Night Live, where his characters, including the aforementioned manic man-child Ed Grimley, the nervous chain-smoking corporate lawyer Nathan Thurm and the grotesque celebrity interviewer Jiminy Glick, provided some of the most memorable moments of the mid-’80s era of the show. Short, 69, has since acted on Broadway, had roles in numerous films and television shows, and starred in his own sitcom (The Martin Short Show), comedy sketch show and syndicated talk show. The fast friendship between Martin and Short has only deepened in 30-plus years, because it was built on a simple foundation – they make each other laugh – along with other things they later found they liked about each other. “If he just made me laugh and wasn’t a kind or interesting person, then I would see him less,” says Short, who joined Martin for this phone interview. “But the main first thing with people like us is we make each other laugh.” The current Now You See Them, Soon You Won’t show grew out of an invitation the two received to interview each other at the Just for Laughs Comedy Festival in Chicago in 2011. Martin and Short enjoyed the experience and realized they could build a bigger show using interviews as a component. Short had also been doing his own touring show before the Just for Laughs gig happened, and elements of that production were incorporated into an early version of the duo show. Then Martin got further into the act. “He [Short] had a live show and I sort of forced my way into it,” Martin says. “But the big thing, when the show started to gel – I didn’t feel I was contributing enough – was when I brought my band [The Steep Canyon Rangers] in. Now we had music for the show. We had some comedy I did with the band. We had funny songs.” Giving a preview of the kind good-humored barbs he and Short bring to their shows, Martin concludes, “And it just overshadowed Martin so much!”

ADRIAN LEPELTIER IN HIS YOUTH | PHOTO COURTESY LEPELTIER
Twenty-something years ago,
when I was 20-something years old, I worked my first full-time job as a lowly events coordinator at Universal Orlando. Even though I had little knowledge and even less experience, there was a senior show director in the entertainment department who always treated me with unreasonable kindness, even though there was no advantage in it for him. I’ve long known I wasn’t the only person whose career was touched by Adrian LePeltier, but I never realized the breadth and depth of his impact on our cultural community until I attended last week’s event honoring him, and witnessed the who’s-who of actors and theme park veterans filling the Parliament House’s Footlight Theatre to pay tribute to him. Mark Edward Smith, Michael Mormon, Elizabeth Murff, James Keaton and Lisa Curtis are just a few of the local artists who attended An Audience With Adrian LePeltier, the first installment in a series of creative conversations organized and emceed by Adam Graham, artistic director of Red Fish Theatre. The evening, which raised over $1000 for A Better Life Pet Rescue, was billed as a “live and unfiltered” journey through LePeltier’s planet-spanning career, and it easily lived up to my X-rated expectations as a politically incorrect, obscenity-laced episode of Inside the Actors Studio the likes of which James Lipton never aired. Aided by a slideshow of vintage family photographs, Graham attempted to
‘An Audience With Adrian LePeltier’ lived up to my expectations as a politically incorrect, obscenitylaced episode of Inside the Actors Studio. steer an eager-to-digress LePeltier through his implausibly exotic life story, beginning with his boyhood in British-ruled India during the 1940s. “It was a very privileged lifestyle, but very old-fashioned,” LePeltier recalls. “It was more Victorian than Victorian England.” He was shipped off to a Darjeeling boarding school at age 6 and a half and nearly died on the journey there (“It was shit,” he says succinctly), but the all-boys Jesuit school he attended as an adolescent was “like a box of chocolates” to LePeltier, who says he “didn’t kick open the closet; I kicked open my mother’s womb.” After being caught consuming unconsecrated communion wafers and wine (among other indiscretions), LePeltier says his parents were asked to “please remove me from the school because I was ruining the morals of the boys.” LePeltier first appeared on stage at age 6 as a queen. (“They knew at that age.”) After
briefly attending the University of Missouri and graduating cum laude from California’s Pasadena Playhouse School of Theatre Arts, LePeltier launched his performing career dancing in legendary London nightclubs like Talk of the Town. He appeared as Annette Funicello’s love interest in an episode of Walt Disney’s Zorro – “Oh for God’s sake, do something to him, he looks prettier than Annette,” LePeltier says the director exclaimed upon seeing him in costume – and once auditioned for Noel Coward, who told him, “You’re a little bit too old for me, but you remind me very much of myself when I was a young man.” Various gigs led LePeltier to Hong Kong, Madrid and eventually Nevada, where he was a dancer and company manager for Donn Arden’s supersized casino productions in Reno and Las Vegas. That’s when his friend Skip Sherman, then senior VP of entertainment for Universal Studios Florida, lured him to Florida with a job directing shows for the theme parks. During his decade-plus in that role, he helped create Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights, Mardi Gras and A Day in the Park With Barney. “I understand how it gets very boring,” he told the park performers in the audience. “But do you realize that more people see you in a day than see any wellknown actor in a Broadway show? It’s not about you … it’s all about the audience.” After leaving the company in 2005, LePeltier returned in 2010 as an actor at Ollivanders Wand Shop in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. “They keep calling me Ollivander. I’m not fucking Ollivander! I know I look that old, but I’m not him,” he says with a laugh, before explaining what makes playing the proprietor so magical with an anecdote about a nonverbal autistic guest who first spoke during his show. Outside of Universal, LePeltier has been seen on area stages during the past decade as the Narrator in Red Fish’s Rocky Horror Show and as the Godfather (alongside the late Billy Manes as Andy Warhol) in Beth Marshall’s Beatnik, among other roles. But his influence is far wider than his credits suggest, as the official letter of appreciation from Mayor Buddy Dyer that was presented to LePeltier at the evening’s end eloquently says: “You have dedicated your life to the arts, producing high-quality works around the globe. … Thank you for helping ensure that the arts thrive in Orlando.” skubersky@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

[ food + drink ] FOREVER NAAN

AND THEN THERE WERE NAAN
Unassuming Curry Ford curry shop Forever Naan plays up Indian street eats BY FAIYAZ KARA
P
icturing Pooja Patel and Jasmeet Kaur – Forever Naan’s charming 20-something proprietors – opening a gas station is a difficult image to conjure. And that sounds a bit like a non sequitur, so allow me to clarify: The two besties once considered managing a petrol pump as a viable business venture, but kismet intervened and presented them with a space recently vacated by a pizza joint. The thought of opening a small curry shop like the ones they often visited while living in San Francisco seemed like a perfectly good idea and, thus, Forever Naan was born. Not that Patel and Kaur wouldn’t have been capable of running a local Citgo or Chevron, but for Orlandoans to miss out on their Indian dishes would’ve been a bloody shame. Why? Because the curries here are all made from scratch, for one. Spices are individually toasted and ground before being used to ignite Forever Naan’s heady veg and non-veg gravies (all of which are made to order, by the way). So chill and take in the surroundings while you wait for the heat to come. Maybe peruse the Bollywood wall of movie posters. Fans will get a kick out of
the Deewar print – featuring the moody, pensive mug of Amitabh Bachchan – in particular. And more prints line the back wall as well – seeing a poster of Amar, Akbar, Anthony brought back memories of watching the movie at the Donlands Theatre in Toronto when I was, oh, 7 or thereabouts. My parents would drag me to watch Indian movies on Saturday nights, even though I didn’t understand a lick of Hindi. When there were subtitles, I still managed to fall asleep, but afterwards, we’d go to Chandni Chowk next door for pani puri, kebabs and paan and all was OK with the world. I caught myself in that nostalgic reverie as I downed one samosa ($3.95 for three), then another, and another. These were my kind of samosas – delicately fried with a not-toothick shell. And spicy. Recipes for
OPENINGS We told you in our New Restaurants issue about the Ravenous Pig taking over the 3,000-square-foot Enterprise Rent-ACar space next door and expanding their brewing operation. That operation now has a name – Ravenous Pig Brewing Co. The new brewery will be the production/distribution hub for RavPig and the Polite Pig and will be completed this summer. Phase 2 will see construction of an event space … Shipyard Brewing Company is rumored to be moving into the Harmon Photo space in Ivanhoe Village across the street from the newly opened Sette. Shipyard owns the Sea Dog Brewing Company, which has a location on Palm Parkway … A new food hall will open on International Drive, possibly at Icon Orlando 360, fka the Orlando Eye. No word as to when it will open, or what vendors have been signed on … Todo Sushi will open next to the recently shuttered Zona Fresca at the Gardens of Ravaudage complex on the corner of Orlando Avenue and Lee Road … Vietnamese restaurant Z Asian will open next door to Sus Hi Eatstation on East Colonial Drive in mid-April. Bonus: They’ll have a full bar … Mai Thai, from the folks behind the local Chai Thai chain of restaurants, will open in the former Artisan’s Table space downtown on Pine Street this May. Artisan’s Table, in case you didn’t know, has moved into 55 W. Church St. … A new crepe joint by chef Jerome Bocuse (Chefs de France, Monsieur Paul) will open in late 2021 at Epcot as part of Disney World’s 50th anniversary celebrations.
the pastries, as well as the dozen or so menu items, were passed down from Patel’s and Kaur’s mothers and grandmothers, and they’re rightfully proud of their creations. Rich, elegant butter chicken ($9.95) was an immediate hit, served with rice (tinged yellow from the addition of turmeric) and butter naan. From the veg offerings, a creamy, tomatoey chana masala ($9.95) did the trick, though potatoes would’ve lent the chickpea curry an added dimension. It’s also served with rice and butter naan (garlic naan is available for a $2.50 upcharge). About that naan – it’s not made in a tandoor but, rather, griddled on a tawa (a flat cast-iron pan) which doesn’t result in the usual soft, blistered naan with a poofy texture. That said, a tandoor has been purchased and will be implemented next month, along with an updated menu of vegan curries, breads and street snacks (think pani puri and kebab rolls). There are sweets to be had – I indulged in both syrupy gulab jamun ($3.95) and a mango lassi laced with fennel seeds ($3.50) – but my hope is that more will be offered (kulfi? barfi?). Nevertheless, Patel and Kaur have a good thing going, and expanding the menu should bode well for their fledgling little eatery. If their venture is indeed fated, then I’m sure opening a curry shop on Curry Ford Road is an irony not lost on them. fkara@orlandoweekly.com

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.

The veranda-less Veranda presents Eastern European cuisine from Moldova and Romania, from such peasant staples as mamliga (polenta cakes served with salty cheese crumbles and sour cream) to Ottoman-influenced meat rolls and mince patties. Culinary convergence comes in the form of stuffed cabbage and grape leaves, while the chicken soup is a cure-all bowl of beauty.

Shazam! tries to be a super-hero film about nothing, succeeds BY MA RYA N N JOHAN SON
W
ell, here we have it. With Shazam!, a comic-book movie has finally made it explicit that the superhero story, at its most reductive, is nothing more than an adolescent-male power fantasy. Fourteen-year-old Billy Batson (Asher Angel) is chosen by a wizard (Djimon Hounsou) to be his champion, complete with a grownup body (Zachary Levi) clad in spandex and with all sorts of caped-crusader abilities, such as super strength and “bullet immunity”; all Billy needs to do is shout “Shazam!” in order to shift back and forth between his usual teen scrawniness and the magical adult-sized badassery. And what does he do with this unexpected boon? He mostly shows up school bullies, buys beer, goes to a strip club, and goofs around with exploring the extent of his superpowers, even to the point where that sometimes puts innocent people in danger. Now, I’m sure that anyone who is now or who has ever been a teenaged boy will delight in how the curtain of pretense has been lifted and they can finally revel in
being seen by Hollywood. But adolescentmale power fantasies is pretty much all Shazam! has going for it. There’s no larger resonance; Shazam! isn’t actually about anything. And I’m sure some will insist that it’s good that the comic-book movie is “fun again” – as if comic-book stories haven’t been explicitly about punching Nazis and other social-justice matters from their very beginnings. For someone who needs at least a little bit of meat in their wish fulfillment, Shazam! is a disappointment. And Shazam! isn’t even simply pure exhilarating fun. Because nothing really matters here, that seems to have been an excuse for screenwriters Henry Gayden (the extremely derivative Earth to Echo) and Darren Lemke (the unclever meta of Goosebumps) to be lazy, and director David F. Sandberg (the shockingly misjudged Annabelle: Creation) to indulge in cheesiness. (Um, there are some really cheap-looking effects here.) Right from the get-go, the entire premise of Billy’s elevation to superhero is confused at best and suspect at worst. The wizard who needs a
champion has been trying for decades, at least, to find one, but no one has been worthy enough. Yet the movie doesn’t bother to explain whether, once the wizard finally accepts Billy as his champion, the wizard is merely so desperate to Shazam-ize anyone that he overlooks Billy’s unworthiness or whether there’s supposed to be something about Billy that elevates him above the many other humans the wizard has tested. From what we do see of Billy’s character, both before and after his chosenness, he’s certainly not a bad person, but there doesn’t seem to be anything spectacularly, uniquely good about him, either. We cannot even deduce from everything that follows which is the case with Billy. Which is a problem. If you squint hard enough, you might discern a motif of “With great power comes great responsibility” – although of course no one can articulate that because Shazam is a DC character and Spider-Man, who is famously taught that lesson, is from the other place – but that is even more watered down because we have no idea upon what basis Billy was granted his superpowers, and with what mindset he is using them. It’s a slow-moving slog for the movie to get Billy from playing superhero to an encounter with the ill-conceived putative villain, Dr. Thaddeus Sivana (Mark Strong), who is, in fact, one of the wizard’s long-ago spurned would-be champions. It’s a rejection that Sivana never got over, and now he wants to steal the Shazam powers from Billy. Except … Sivana has his own powers, absorbed from the manifestations of the seven deadly sins that the wizard had been containing. (This movie is a mishmash of such nonsense.) It’s not at all clear what powers Sivana lacks – he seems to have all the same ones that Billy has – or what he will do if he succeeds. The movie tries to make a joke out of its own low stakes, with Sivana monologuing about his evil plans in a way that suggests we don’t even need to hear them to know what he wants. But this comes way too late in the movie, and seems more a justification for not developing Sivana as any kind of authentic, plausible character than anything else. We’re meant to just take him as a generic villain … so I guess it’s fair that he’s as generic as the rest of the clichés here.

Sam Rockwell, Babou Ceesay and Taraji P. Henson in The Best of Enemies PHOTO COURTESY OF STXFILMS
BY ST EVE SCHN EID ER
OPENING THIS WEEK: Ash Is Purest White Set at the dawn of the 21st century, the latest film from Chinese director Jia Zhang-ke follows a gangster and his girlfriend who have to fight off assassination attempts while contending with the sweeping changes symbolized by a local redevelopment project. Triad, schmiad; somebody get them to save Maitland. (NR; read our Cameron Meier’s review at orlandoweekly.com) The Best of Enemies Emboldened by Green Book’s Oscar win, the genre of the civil rights buddy picture goes there, focusing on the relationship not just between a black American and white American, but between a black activist (Taraji P. Henson) and a KKK bigwig (Sam Rockwell) whose 10 years of enmity culminates in an unlikely collaboration. It’s based on a true story, which I’d like to think means we won’t have to see Rockwell teaching Henson to eat Popeyes. But stranger things have happened, right? (PG-13) Pet Sematary The 1989 Pet Sematary was hardly the best of the Stephen King adaptations. But still … What kind of sematary do I have to visit to bring back Fred Gwynne AND all the Ramones? In their place, this second stab at the source material gives us John Lithgow, which hardly seems like trading up. Nonetheless, the advance critical consensus is that it’s a superior take on the tale, albeit one that takes perhaps even greater liberties with the book. If you just got whiplash from all those buts and maybes, I feel ya. I’m just trying to figure out how it’s possible to replace Herman Munster with anyone but his brother Johann. (R)
The Public Emilio Estevez wrote and directed this story of the law-enforcement crisis that arises when a group of homeless people take refuge from the Chicago cold inside a public library. Meanwhile, Charlie Sheen would like to share your sleeping bag. (PG-13)
ALSO PLAYING; The Aftermath As her country attempts to stabilize Germany after the end of World War II, a British housewife (Keira Knightley) is shocked to learn that her husband expects her to cohabitate with actual Krauts. Suck it up, lady: You could be bunking with Heino. (R; playing at Regal Winter Park Village Stadium 20 & RPX) Junglee A virtuous veterinarian relies on his martial-arts skills to take on the scourge of elephant poaching. Hey, don’t knock it – it might have prevented Dumbo! (NR; in Hindi; playing at Universal Cinemark at CityWalk and Touchstar Cinemas Southchase 7) Unplanned This piece of fundamentalist antichoice dogma received an “R” rating for being the cinematic equivalent of those ghastly and misleading dead-baby placards that whack jobs wave around at county fairs. The producers accused the MPAA of harboring the same society-wide pro-abortion bias that had forced them to keep the subject matter of the film secret throughout its production, for fear of being picketed. Yeah, being targeted for harassment by strangers because of the choices you’ve made within a free society is a terrible thing, all right. (R) orlandoweekly.com

BY B AO L E - H U U THE MESSTHETICS | PHOTO BY JEN CRAY
This week, some legends both national and local looking fresh again.
THE MESSTHETICS AND MARY LATTIMORE, WILL’S PUB, MARCH 27
Although the Messthetics are a new instrumental band that debuted only a year ago with an album on venerable punk imprint Dischord Records, the D.C. triad arrived packing the built-in kind of cred you get when you feature Fugazi’s rhythm section. But don’t get too starstruck and discount guitarist Anthony Pirog. If bassist Joe Lally and drummer Brendan Canty are the literal pulse of this band, Pirog is the virtual voice with his extraordinary playing. The Messthetics feature the stylistic daring and technical rigor you’d expect from an ensemble that’s two-thirds Fugazi. Their sound is a jazz punk jam that’s broad in scope, from exploratory post-rock to power-trio workouts of real intellect. Live, they benefit greatly from a more pronounced punk edge and forward drive. The star rhythm section of Canty and Lally was, unsurprisingly, both locked and propulsive. But Pirog’s swashbuckling lead work was shining. The Messthetics are unapologetically a musician’s band. But on stage, they rock the academics with such power that it never feels stilted or didactic. The effect is a honed machine of charged discipline, balancing soaring spirit and technical wizardry like a Blue Angels routine. Many in the audience probably came to bask in the presence of legend, but likely all left with fresh faith. Notable opener Mary Lattimore is the most indie harpist alive, possibly ever. Not that there’s much competition, but
The Messthetics are unapologetically a musician’s band. But on stage, they rock the academics with such power that it never feels stilted or didactic. still. She’s been through Orlando before with acts like Parquet Courts and True Widow. And her collaboration list – studded with names like Jarvis Cocker, Sharon Van Etten, Kurt Vile, Thurston Moore and, most recently, Superchunk’s Mac McCaughan – is just sick. What this tack has done is place her on the edge of both genre and scene, pushing the edge on two simultaneous fronts. With each transfixing performance she does in a rock club, Lattimore is at once ambassador, missionary and revelation. Furthering her finger work with experimental techniques like effects and loop-layering, her music is beautiful in ways objective but not necessarily conventional. This latest performance was possibly the most openly lovely set seen here yet, an idyllic oasis of sparkling ripples that’s especially gorgeous set against her perpetually unlikely backdrop. Even so, her harp vocabulary remains so expansive and liberal that it transcends the perceived bounds of this hallowed but marginalized instrument.
ILLUMINATED PATHS SHOWCASE, IRON COW, MARCH 29
Illuminated Paths just wrapped an ambitious string of live showcases. Across
six shows in just the span of a month, the pre-eminent Oddlando music label – and mini scene unto itself – has been shedding brilliant mixed-media weirdness all around town. The last was a commendably diverse bill including fried garage-rockers Bobby Clock & the Soda Pops, left-field rappers Ohtwo, industrial noise act Sombir and the chameleonic Ray Brazen. But some of the brightest color of IP’s latest live kaleidoscope came from locals TTN. They’re an industrial act, which you could probably induce just from their song titles, which read like a mixtape of lost Front 242 and Skinny Puppy tracks. Unlike those acts, however, this mostly instrumental group is definitely rock-forward with an aggressive, near-metal guitar lead atop noisy tones and some pounding electronic rhythms. They’re surprisingly human for an industrial band (with electronic beats played by hand, even), which keeps things decidedly raw. Add in a sense of show and you’ve got one promising new act. Oh, but speaking of showmanship, Danny Feedback delivered the night’s most all-out performance. This OG of the Orlando freak scene has been focused on his Crack Rock Opera production for the better part of this decade. This trio performance, however, was stripped back to original basics. And frankly, this is his best element. Free of the straitjacket of any grand concept, Feedback’s defining rock kink runs flamboyant and wild. This set was a long-awaited return to form and a recertification of Danny’s historical cred as a true Orlando original. And it came like a bolt from the frenzied psychedelic fringe. baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

David Litt LITERARY
Ever wanted to (metaphorically) pick the brain of someone who’s worked at the White House? Well, now’s your chance as David Litt, former presidential speechwriter and staffer from the Obama administration, has written a book about his time in the White House and will be talking about his experience there. In fact, you can mull it over with him over dinner if you purchase the VIP package, which also includes a paperback copy of his book, Thanks, Obama: My Hopey, Changey White House Years. Despite the seemingly serious topic (especially in today’s political climate) Litt is known for his sense of humor, and was often the source of the many jokes and comedic relief moments in Obama’s speeches. His view on politics is no different and provides a fresh perspective to a topic usually seen as heavy. – Elizabeth Gondar 7 p.m. | Roth Jewish Community Center of Greater Orlando, 851 N. Maitland Ave., Maitland | 407-645-5933 | writersblockbookstore.com | $5-$60

Yes, he will have tape on his face the entire time, meaning this three-hour show is sure to satisfy your inner child. Tape Face has spent his years since the show touring all over the world and now comes to the Plaza Live this week. You’re going to have to see him to believe him. – Sarah Cavacini 7 p.m. | The Plaza Live, 425 N. Bumby Ave. | 407-228-1220 | theplazalive.org | $24.50-$44.50

FL Antifest IV MUSIC
The fourth FL Antifest returns to the Mills 50 block, where it all started several years ago – at Uncle Lou’s, to be precise – with a lineup that plumbs the euphoric highs and filthy lows of the Florida harsh noise and experimental underground (with one lone Georgian and Ohioan also on the bill). The whole shebang is organized by noise scene mover Dylan Houser (Hell Garbage, Formaldehydra) to celebrate his birthday and his peers simultaneously. There are 20 acts on this bill, playing for 15 minutes each, and not a single one is a snoozer. Did you know there is a noise scene in Panama City, perchance? Well, you do now, and it’ll be represented by pan-Longwood alliance Vantage Planet Shithead. We’re particularly enthused about Jonathan Hancock, Penny Grune-Fae and Facepalm Death, but there’s no need to take our word for it. This is like a Baskin-Robbins of discordant textures. – Matthew Moyer 6 p.m. | Grumpy’s Underground Lounge, 1018 N. Mills Ave. | 407-237-9180 | facebook.com/grumpysunderground | free
Saturday, April 6
Big Eyes MUSIC
Brooklyn’s Big Eyes revolves around lead singer and songwriter Kait Eldridge, who’s been leading the band – named after a Cheap Trick song – since her early 20s. Now a decade into the band’s existence, Eldridge wears her love of classic power pop on her sleeve. Lead single “Lucky You” from the upcoming Streets of the Lost album on Greenway Records is pure hook and riff, echoing the polish of Big Star’s more rocking moments. The new album is out on Friday, April 5, making this essentially an album release show. Go celebrate. – Thaddeus McCollum with Wet Nurse, the Nervous Girls, the Palmettes | 8 p.m. | Will’s Pub, 1042 N. Mills Ave. | willspub.org | $8-$10

Purveyors of the wild and zany Of Montreal will soon be serving up another refreshingly danceable show to fanatics in the City Beautiful. Their tour is kicking off with four Florida dates this very week as part of a longer trek extending through the end of June. Vocalist Kevin Barnes writes that during the making of last year’s White Is Relic/Irrealis Mood, more of a solo project than albums from the past, he “became ‘Simulated Reality’ paranoid and fell in love,” composing a full-length album that is ambitiously rhythmic throughout, reminiscent of extended singles from the ’80s. The spring tour is an anti-white supremacy campaign in disguise, so put on your dancing shoes and groove to some hip liberal rhetoric. – Maisie Haney

Larry Fulford Central Florida Top Brewer Beer Festival The oblique reference to Top Chef indicates that the Central Florida Top Brewer Festival is a bit more creative than most beer festivals. Each of the more than 30 participating breweries drew a random grain, hop strain and extra ingredient when they signed up, and each brewery must then brew a beer using those ingredients to serve at the festival. Taste their results – along with some of their staples – and vote on which brewery gets top honors. 1-5 p.m. Saturday; Lake Concord Park, 95 Triplet Lake Drive, Casselberry; $35-$40; centralfloridatopbrewer.com.
Orlando Brewing’s 13-Year Anniversary Party Orlando’s oldest independent brewery celebrates its lucky 13th anniversary this weekend with a flavorful blowout.

Game of Thrones Scotch Whiskey Dinner As you await the premiere of the final season of HBO’s cultural touchstone about dicks and dragons, you may have caught wind of the fact that the Game of Thrones brand has moved on from its series of beer collaborations with Ommegang to a full line of scotch whiskies named after eight of the fictional houses, made by several distilleries in the Diageo family. Luma on Park gives you the chance to sample them all this week, along with an eight-course tasting dinner. The only catch? You might have to take out a loan from the Iron Bank to attend, if you’re not a Lannister. Call ahead for reservations. 6:30 p.m. Monday; Luma on Park, 290 S.

Larry Fulford & Matt Fernandez It’s an unfortunate truth that comedians inevitably move on to a bigger city like L.A., New York or Chicago if they’re even a little bit good at making people laugh. Luckily, they tend to revisit from time to time and have homecoming shows where everyone gets to laugh at their new jokes. Such is the case with Larry Fulford, who left Central Florida for Chicago a few years ago, but returns this week with Tampa comic Matt Fernandez for a show at Dirty Laundry that’s going to be as much of a welcome-home party as it is a performance. 8 p.m. Tuesday; Dirty Laundry, 1042 N.

The Goat, or Who Is Sylvia? T H E AT E R
Theater on the Edge, affiliated with Truthful Acting Studios, has developed a local reputation for putting on acclaimed performances of plays from the likes of great American playwrights like David Mamet and Tracy Letts. This week, they take on another of the greats: Edward Albee. The Goat, or Who Is Sylvia? opened in 2002, and won the Tony for Best Play that year, along with being a finalist for the 2003 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Those are big accolades for a play about a family whose dynamic is shattered when the patriarch reveals that he’s fallen in love with a goat named Sylvia. But if anyone can pull it off locally, it’ll be Theater on the Edge. – Thaddeus McCollum 8 p.m. | through May 5 | Theater on the Edge, 5542 Hansel Ave. | 407-309-0106 | theaterontheedge.org | $19-$35

B Y DA N S AVAG E
I’m an adult man, and I have developed a trans attraction after following a particular Tumblr blog. That blog is now gone, sadly, since all adult content has been purged from Tumblr. It wasn’t just porn; it consisted of all the things I really enjoy – images of oil paintings and antique furniture, scenic landscapes, wild animals and then pictures/GIFs of trans women. Some women appeared to have had top surgery while others didn’t. But all of the women featured on this blog had penises. I had never considered a relationship with a trans woman before, but after browsing the blog for a year, I can honestly say I’d do it in a heartbeat. I would actually like to date a non-op trans woman. I know that many trans women don’t like having their male parts touched or acknowledged, but I didn’t know that a trans woman can only have a functioning penis if she isn’t taking female hormones, and I hadn’t considered the effect that might have on somebody’s gender dysphoria. How can I meet a trans woman who is hopefully comfortable with her male parts and seeking a relationship? I live in a conservative Bible Belt state – Utah – and I am woefully uneducated on this subject. Girl’s Heart, Man’s Parts “My penis and balls aren’t ‘man’s parts,’” says Bailey Jay, the three-time AVN Award– winning transsexual porn star. “They’re mine. I own them. Not some random man.” In fairness, GHMP, you acknowledge being woefully uneducated on trans issues, something your letter demonstrated again and again. But let’s start here: A trans woman doesn’t have boy parts. She has girl parts – unique girl parts, as girl parts go, but girl parts just the same. “I’m on hormones and my cock works great,” Jay says. “Every trans woman is going to be different and have different experiences, and that’s the best first bit of advice I can give GHMP. We can smell it a mile away when we are all being lumped in together as a concept. Treat any trans woman you’re romantically interested in as an individual.” As for places to find trans individuals who might be up for dating cis men, well, you might want to sit down, GHMP, as this is pretty shocking. “I’ve heard OkCupid is inclusive, and I have friends on there whose profiles even help people navigate discussing their bodies in a respectful way,” Jay says. “And finding a trans woman to date who hasn’t undergone bottom surgery is pretty easy. The surgery is expensive and even scary to some. It’s not terribly common that a trans woman has had that particular surgery.” But just because a trans woman hasn’t had bottom surgery doesn’t mean she doesn’t want bottom surgery, so you shouldn’t assume a trans woman with a penis plans to always keep her penis. 46
“The real question is what her relationship is with her current genitals,” Jay says. “Maybe she’s very dysphoric about them. Maybe she doesn’t even want you to see them or touch them. Even if her body is your preference, there’s a chance it isn’t hers. I personally love my penis and even like talking about it. But bringing up genitals right away can make you seem insensitive or like you’re dehumanizing your date.” Jay recommends looking for trans women on mainstream dating apps and then following their lead. “Now, genitals and curt sexual dialogue are kind of my jam,” Jay says, “so I wouldn’t even flinch or blush. But this can be a very charged subject for people.” Look to the profiles of trans women you’re interested in for cues about their approach to personal subjects. One woman might put it all out there and welcome questions about her experiences as a trans woman; another woman might be open about being trans but prefer not to focus on it. “Still, never use genital questions as an icebreaker,” Jay says. “You’ll know when your evening with someone is going well enough that there’s a certain amount of trust,” and at that point, you may be able to bring it up. “And please make sure to talk about both of your bodies,” adds Jay. “This isn’t all about if her body is right for you. Make sure your body meets her standards and preferences, too. I always joke that cis men should have to disclose as well. Any expectation you find yourself putting on her, split the responsibility.” I’m a 36-year-old trans man in Portland, Oregon, and I’ve never been to a gay bar/ venue while presenting male. I’ve only been once or twice years ago when straight friends went to watch drag shows and used the gays as entertainment. (Yeah, my old life was cishet as all fuck.) I have two questions: No. 1: I’ve heard a lot of stories about “gold star” gays who shame trans men and blacklist us. Any truth to that? Am I welcome in a gay space? And No. 2: As someone who’s never dated/ hooked up within the gay male culture, any newbie tips? As for what I’m looking for, it’s really just about feeling validated and comfortable being in a men’s space. Sure, I’m horny as hell and would love nights full of hot anal sex, LOL, but I’m cool just starting with finding my swagger. I have no idea how my personality will develop around other guys. I have a puppy side, a pain-slut side and a sadistic-top side – and I’m super-curious about exploring all my sides! The Deep End No. 1: You are welcome in gay spaces – of course – but there are assholes in gay spaces just as there are assholes in every other kind of space. There may be fewer assholes as a percentage in gay spaces (untest-

ed hypothesis!), TDE, but that doesn’t make gay assholery any less aggravating. And, yes, there are gay men out there who don’t want to sleep with trans men. But there are gay men out there who don’t want to sleep with tall men, short men, masculine men, femme men, big men, small men, vanilla men, kinky men and – yes – even cis men. Focusing on the guys who don’t want to fuck you – whether they’ve never slept with a woman (gold star) or just slept with a woman (homoflexible) – is a waste of time and energy. Focus on the guys who do want to fuck you. And they’re out there. No. 2: All things in moderation (including moderation), don’t fuck around with meth (or with guys who do), get on PrEP (to protect yourself from HIV), use condoms (to protect yourself from everything else), tip your bartenders, ask before you touch and don’t make the bars your whole life. And finally, TDE, seeing as you’re kinky, you might want to explore mixed kink clubs and spaces, online and off, in addition to gay bars. You’ll encounter your fair share of assholes in kink spaces, of course, but kinksters – particularly kinksters in your hipper urban locales – are often more open to trans folks than vanilla types. (Tyler McCormick, a trans man, won the International Mr. Leather competition way, way back in 2010.) I’ve fallen into a social group of gay men who are kind of homophobic. They talk about bottoming and gayness as if they’re embarrassing things. It’s like they’re aspiring to be gay people who are really heterosexuals but just accidentally have gay sex. The other challenge is that I find them attractive. These Really Anti-Social Homos Putting up with assholes just because they’re hot – yeah, you’re not doing yourself any favors there, TRASH, and you’re not doing those assholes any favors, either. Sooner or later, they’re going to age out of hot – and if they haven’t learned the importance of not being assholes by that point, they’re going to be lonely old assholes. Losing friends due to your assholery is an important learning experience for many. Don’t cheat these guys of it.
