Readers react to stories from last week.

@David Miller By the time the park is built, that 15 dollars an hour will be the minimum wage.

On Thursday, Aug. 1, we reported that Universal Orlando will build a new theme park, which they’re calling Epic Universe (“Universal Orlando just made an ‘Epic’ announcement”). The new park is expected to add 14,000 new jobs to the Orlando area.

On Wednesday, July 31, we reported that Central Florida is on the shortlist of sites for the next federal migrant detention center for unaccompanied children (“Central Florida could house the next detention center for migrant children”). As of June 2019, the Office of Refugee Resettlement had received more than 58,500 referrals of children from the Department of Homeland Security, which is a 57 percent hike from the same time period last year.

@David Skee Buckalew Disney needs to follow suit to help curb demand or at least attempt to satisfy it. We got 75 million people coming here a year. They need more places to go. @Carolyn Vega Busby Great … more construction, more traffic, more low paying jobs … just what we need. Also on Aug. 1, we reported that Universal says Epic Universe will pay all workers at least $15 per hour (“Universal will offer workers at its newest resort a base pay of $15 an hour”).

@Donald Kirkendall Socialist Congresswomen Murphy, Demings and Soto continue to put the residents of CFL at risk. @Laura Stiles I certainly hope the government is saving up for the next reparation hearings in 30-50 years. @Amanda McNamara Taxpayers are paying $750 per night per child to sleep on concrete floors and drink out of toilets!

@Adam Stansbury As a teacher with 20 years experience, make me a bellhop making $15 an hour with tips. I bet I clear $60,000 in the first year, and that is $10,000 more than what I make now. Sign me up!!!

@Herminio Rodriguez Jr. In the previous administration they were unaccompanied. In this administration they are abducted.

@Nikki Rogers Still can’t afford rent in Orlando.

@Wendy Sayfoot So you mean there IS affordable housing in central Florida?

Universal will build Orlando’s first major new theme park in 20 years, Central Florida may be home to another detention center for ‘unaccompanied alien children,’ and other news you may have missed last week. »

The hepatitis A outbreak is officially an emergency in Florida. State Surgeon General Scott Rivkees announced the outbreak is a public health emergency following more than 2,000 reported cases in the Sunshine state. Rivkees urged people to be vaccinated against the liver disease, which can be spread through food, water or contact with someone who has it. The Florida Department of Health is calling for help from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to stop the spread. There were 2,034 cases of hepatitis A between Jan. 1 and July 29, already more than the number of cases for all of last year, according to the department.

Universal Orlando just announced there’s a new park in the works. “Epic Universe” will be the first major new Central Florida theme park in 20 years. Islands of Adventure, which opened in 1999, was the last project at Universal. This 750-acre park, set south of Sand Lake Road and east of Universal Boulevard, will most likely have Nintendo-themed rides as well as How to Train Your Dragon, Kung-Fu Panda, Madagascar and Shrek. The new park will add to Universal’s two theme parks, water park, six hotels and shopping area. Universal currently has 25,000 employees, and the new park is set to produce 14,000 more jobs. And they’re offering a $15 an hour base wage.

Attorney General Ashley Moody wants to block a constitutional amendment to prevent assault weapon ownership. As the political committee Ban Assault Weapons Now tries to get their measure on the 2020 election ballot, it appears Moody wants to argue before the state Supreme Court that the language of the bill doesn’t work. The constitutional amendment will have the following definition of assault weapons: “any semiautomatic rifle or shotgun capable of holding more than ten (10) rounds of ammunition at once, either in a fixed or detachable magazine, or any other ammunition feeding device.” Moody is arguing such wording would “ban the possession of virtually every semi-automatic long-gun.”

»

In other gun news, a judge in Leon County struck down a barrier to municipal gun regulations. A law on the books since 1987 has banned cities and counties from passing gun laws stricter than the ones in place by the state. Then in 2011 lawmakers approved a series of penalties that local governments would incur if they violated the ’87 law. The old law was challenged after the Parkland shooting at Stoneman Douglas High School, and Leon County Circuit Judge Charles Dodson found the penalties unconstitutional. The ’80s ban is still in effect, but the penalties for local officials (fines up to $5,000 and potential removal from office) have been struck down. The three suits involved in the ruling involved more than 70 elected officials, three counties and 30 cities. Surprise surprise, lawyers for Gov. DeSantis, Attorney General Ashley Moody and the National Rifle Association had argued for the penalties to stay in place.

»

The Feds might set up another migrant child detention facility in Central Florida. The Office of Refugee Resettlement, an arm of U.S. Health and Human Services, sent out an email to Florida lawmakers last week that they were exploring the possibility of setting up a facility in either Central Florida, Virginia or Los Angeles. Lawmakers are already recoiling at the idea, and state Senator Linda Stewart, D-Orlando, recently sent a letter to Gov. Ron DeSantis asking him to somehow remove Florida from the shortlist of sites. orlandoweekly.com

ILLUSTRATION BY CLAY JONES

THE R-WORD

For Trump’s supporters, admitting his racism would mean admitting an uncomfortable truth about themselves BY JE FFREY C. BILL M A N

The week after Donald Trump launched his racist attack on U.S. Rep. Elijah Cummings, which came on the heels of his racist attacks on four nonwhite Democratic members of Congress, my hometown paper gave MAGA apologist J. Peder Zane ink to argue that the president and his Republican Party are not, in fact, racist, but rather the victims of a “false narrative” painted by Democrats, who are the real racists. While Trump may have been “insensitive” in calling a mostly black congressional district with a median income above the national average “a disgusting rat- and rodentinfested mess,” Zane told us, a “fair-minded person, while hoping that the president would be more precise, should see that he is not a racist.” Four days later, a Trump-loving white-nationalist murdered 20 people in an El Paso Walmart after posting a manifesto explaining – in language that uncannily mirrored Trump’s immigration rhetoric – that he was fighting an “invasion.” Funny how the racists think Trump is one of them. Lots of papers have third-tier hacks like Zane, men who crib their sophomoric understanding of U.S. history

from low-rent hucksters like Dinesh D’Souza and regurgitate the outrage du jour from the Fox News/talk-radio set. These columns tend to land somewhere between intellectually vapid and irresponsibly dishonest; papers publish them as a fig leaf to the MAGA crowd, an effort to assure them that they’re not part of the Liberal Media. Like most, Zane is rarely worth rebutting. Here, however, he’s recycling an argument common among Trump acolytes, which in light of El Paso warrants some scrutiny. His point is this: Republicans should ignore Democrats/liberals/the media when they say Trump is racist, because Democrats/liberals/the media always say Republicans are racist. As Zane puts it: “Before Trump, Democrats leveled the same despicable smear against Mitt Romney – Vice President Joe Biden warned African-Americans that Romney ‘would put y’all back in chains!’” (Not to be pedantic, but Biden said Romney’s policies would allow big banks to do so.) Before that, Zane continues, they called John McCain racist, and George W. Bush racist, “and so it goes with most every Republican back to Richard Nixon.”

Quick history: Whatever Nixon’s personal feelings (he really didn’t like Jews, FYI), beginning with his 1968 campaign, racial appeals became central to GOP politics. See, for instance, Republican operative Lee Atwater’s infamous quote: “You start out in 1954 by saying, ‘Nigger, nigger, nigger.’ By 1968 you can’t say ‘nigger’ – that hurts you, backfires. So you say stuff like forced busing, states’ rights, and all that stuff, and you’re getting so abstract. Now, you’re talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you’re talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is, blacks get hurt worse than whites.” Ronald Reagan denounced mythical welfare queens. George H.W. Bush ran the Willie Horton ad. George W. Bush’s campaign smeared John McCain with rumors about his adopted black child. McCain elevated Sarah Palin to the national stage, where she accused the first black major party presidential nominee of “pallin’ around with terrorists.” Romney kissed Donald Trump’s ring while Trump was pushing the racist birther effort. Trump launched his presidential campaign by calling Mexican immigrants rapists and pledging to ban Muslims. What Zane doesn’t consider is that GOP leaders have been accused of racism because they’ve employed racism to win votes. Trump has been accused of racism more frequently because he says and does overtly racist things more frequently. Indeed, Trump’s entire political career has been built on racial demagoguery (and numerous studies suggest that he owes his victory in 2016 in part to his voters’ racial attitudes). But for his supporters to admit that would mean admitting an uncomfortable truth about themselves. So instead, they define the R-word so narrowly as to render it meaningless. Truth be told, however, I’m less interested in what the J. Peder Zanes of the world tell themselves about Donald Trump’s racism than in the effects their denial has on the rest of us. It’s no surprise, for instance, that Republicans don’t want to talk about guns after El Paso. More unnerving has been their widespread reluctance to acknowledge the crisis of the increasingly violent white supremacist movement in the Trump era. As a former FBI supervisor who oversaw terrorism cases told The Washington Post: “I think in many ways the FBI is hamstrung in trying to investigate the white supremacist movement like the old FBI would. There’s some reluctance among agents to bring forth an investigation that targets what the president perceives as his base.” And if we can’t even address white terrorism without offending Trump’s supporters, how can we possibly begin to address complex, systemic issues of racial and social justice: wealth gaps, education gaps, opportunity gaps, affordability crises, etc.? The thing about Trump is that he says the quiet parts loud – often through a megaphone. He’s fundamentally incapable of hiding who he is. And that makes the choice ahead of us crystal clear: Between now and Election Day, we as a country will have to confront a lot of uncomfortable truths about who we are – and who we’re going to be.

Seminole County State Attorney clears Orlando Police officers in beating of double homicide suspect Markeith Loyd

F

BY JE NNA LYONS

or  nine  tense  days  in  January  2017,  Orlando  Police  searched  for  double  murder  suspect  Markeith  Loyd,  accused  of  killing  a  cop  days  earlier  and  killing  his  pregnant  ex-girlfriend  the  month before. The reward for information  leading  to  his  capture  steadily  rose,  from  $60,000 to $100,000 to $125,000.  Police  finally  tracked  him  down.  On  Jan. 17, the night he surrendered himself,  he  was  repeatedly  kicked  in  the  face  as

he  lay  on  his  stomach  among  police  officers, according to a report from Seminole  County  State  Attorney  Phil  Archer.  Loyd  lost his eye in the process.  Since  that  night,  questions  have  arisen  as to whether Orlando Police used excessive force when they took Loyd in. While  one  officer  allegedly  told  Jeff  Deal  of  WFTV 9 that Loyd “cowered and gave up  like  a  little  girl,”  the  official  police  line  is  that he resisted.

Archer’s  report  has  determined  that  police  did  use  deadly  force  when  they  took Loyd in.  But, the report says, it was justified.  That’s thanks to the Stand Your Ground  Law. The Seminole County state attorney  cited it in his decision, asserting that officers “reasonably believed that their force  was  necessary  to  prevent  Mr.  Loyd  from  either  killing  or  inflicting  bodily  injury  upon them.”  This justified fear, according to Archer’s  report, was based on the accumulation of  Loyd’s criminal history, his previous statements  and  his  behavior  the  night  of  his  arrest.  But,  at  the  risk  of  an  oversimplification, it appears the report suggests that  the  swift  kicks  to  the  face  Loyd  received  while  lying  on  his  stomach  were  mainly  set off because he didn’t heed commands  to stop looking at the officers.  Going back to his criminal history: The  arrest came at the end of a nine-day manhunt  for  Loyd,  who  is  accused  of  killing  his  pregnant  ex-girlfriend  Sade  Dixon  on  Dec.  13  and  Orlando  Police  Lt.  Debra  Clayton  on  Jan.  9.  (Clayton  was  posthumously promoted to Master Sergeant.) Police  say  Loyd  had  an  athletic  build  and  showed  enough  “proficiency  with  firearms” to allegedly shoot Clayton with  a concealed gun while running away from  her, along with shooting the front wheel of  an Orange County Sheriff’s vehicle. As for his previous statements, Archer’s  report  says  police  thought  that  Loyd  felt  he “had nothing to lose” because Loyd had  told others he wanted to “trigger a suicide  by cop scenario,” and had set his sights on  being on “America’s Most Wanted list.” Finally,  Archer’s  report  uses  Loyd’s  behavior to justify the force.  That  night  in  January,  it  appeared  Loyd  was  turning  himself  in.  He  opened  the  front  door,  threw  out  a  “dark  piece  of  clothing”  and  then  threw  out  what  appeared  to  be  two  handguns,  one  at  a  time. He followed officers’ instructions to  get  on  the  ground  and  crawl  toward  the  officers.  That’s  when  officers’  suspicions  were aroused.  First  problem:  He  kept  his  bulletproof  vest  on.  That  made  officers  believe  Loyd  still expected more action, the report stated.  Then there were some parts of his compliance  that  were  suspicious  to  officers,  according to the report.  Loyd  crawled  toward  officers  past  the  guns  he  dropped,  making  no  effort  to  pick  them  up.  But,  the  report  flips  that  seemingly  obedient  action  around:  “This  fact was understandably alarming in itself,  because it gave officers pause to consider  that if Mr. Loyd had not elected to retrieve  orlandoweekly.com

●

one of the guns, perhaps that was because  he  was  still  armed  and  had  not  divested  himself of all his weapons.”  Next  problem:  his  eyes.  Loyd  was  looking  all  around  as  he  crawled  toward  officers,  which  made  them  fear  he  was  trying to come up with a “tactical advantage” over the crowd of law enforcement.  As  a  group  of  four  officers  approached  him,  authorities  told  Loyd  to  look  away,  but he didn’t.  All  this,  according  to  Archer’s  report,  made  officers  fear  Loyd  was  “armed  and  prepared  to  ambush  them.”  A  sergeant  immediately  kicked  Loyd  in  the  left  side  of his face. Another officer kicked him in  the  same  spot  and  put  his  foot  on  Loyd’s  upper back and shoulder. Another officer  kicked him in the right side of his face, the  report stated.  Archer’s report does entertain the argument  that  no  matter  where  Loyd  looked,  he would have been looking in the direction of police officers. But it goes on to say  the  solution  would  have  been  looking  at  the ground.  “I  recognize  that  Mr.  Loyd  was  surrounded  at  the  time  of  his  apprehension,  and an argument could be made that anywhere  he  looked,  he  would  inevitably  be  looking  in  the  direction  of  an  officer,  but  this  argument  fails  to  take  into  consideration  the  one  place  Mr.  Loyd  could  have  looked:  the  ground.  Doing  so  would  have  complied  with  the  officers’  commands,  and  it  would  have  put  his  face  in  a  position that it would have been protected by  a kick or strike from the officers,” Archer’s  report states. By  the  time  he  was  taken  to  Orlando  Police  headquarters,  Loyd  was  shouting  to  the  news  cameras,  “They  beat  me  up!  They beat me up!”  In a press conference at the time, thenpolice  chief  John  Mina  told  media  that  officers ”showed incredible restraint.”  “I  wouldn’t  believe  anything  Markeith  Loyd  says,”  Mina  said.  “We  are  talking  about a cold-blooded, ruthless killer who  then took off and committed more crimes,  attempted  to  kill  a  sheriff’s  deputy  and  also carjacked somebody.” Orlando  Police  does  have  a  record  of  very  high  use  of  force,  which  even  prompted  Mina  to  ask  officers  across  the  department to minimize use of force in an  April 2016 directive. (Use of force includes  hitting,  kicking,  use  of  pepper  spray  or  stun  gun,  or  loosing  of  a  police  dog.)  That directive was issued after an Orlando Sentinel  investigation  in  fall  2016  found  OPD had used force on 3,100 people, leading to 1,900 injuries between Jan. 1, 2010,  and Dec. 31, 2014.  feedback@orlandoweekly.com AUG. 7-13, 2019 ● ORLANDO WEEKLY

TEACHING HISTORY AND MAKING IT, TOO

By a 4 to 1 margin, Orange County teachers rejected their proposed 2019-2020 contract. That’s the first time it’s happened BY J EN N A LYON S

T

hey saw red, so they wore red. Fed-up teachers all across the country, in West Virginia, Oklahoma, Arizona, Kentucky and North Carolina, used the color as their symbol of solidarity. Calling out underfunding, stagnant wages and scant benefits, a wave of teacher strikes has made headlines since 2018. Teachers are standing up for a fair wage. And here in Florida, Orlando educators want to lead the movement in the state. Under law, they can’t strike, so they have to voice their dissent through other means. Teachers wearing red packed the July 30 Orange County Board of Educators meeting. The day before, they had made history by voting down a proposed contract agreement between the school district and their union – the Orange County Classroom Teachers Association (CTA) – for the very first time. And overwhelmingly so; there were 3,843 nays and 1,017 yeas. That’s a 4 to 1 margin. With overall membership of about 7,800, nearly 55 percent of the district’s teachers are in the union, says Wendy Doromal, CTA president. That puts them just over the 50 percent required to be a certified union. “They deserve a higher wage. Florida is 46 in the nation as far as average teacher pay. That’s not acceptable. We have to rise up. And we’re hoping that Orlando will be the epicenter for the revolution in Florida,” Doromal said in a phone interview last week. “We’re seeing a lot of people getting engaged that weren’t before.” Her numbers aren’t wrong. Florida came in at No. 46 in the National Education Association’s 2019 rankings, with an average public teacher salary of $48,168 for the 2017-2018 school year. The nationwide average is $60,477 for the same time period. Why are Central Florida’s teachers standing up this time? Teachers have been overworked and underpaid for as long as we all can remember. But here in Orange County, the straw that broke the camel’s back was health care. Under the voted-down 2019-2020 contract, there’s a costly increase in premiums that hits teachers with families the hardest. Under the “Plan A” health care plan, the most popular among teachers, an employee choosing family coverage would have $422 deducted from their pay every month, a

steep increase from last year’s $300 deduction. For single teachers with covered children, it would go from $50 to $70 a month. Employees with a covered spouse would go from a $250 deduction to a $352 deduction. David Grimm, an OCPS teacher who ran for school board last year, called out the policy at the school board meeting. “It has been stated numerous times that the insurance increases in the original bargaining agreement only affects a small amount of teachers. The truth is it also affects the children of the teachers, especially the single moms and dads,” Grimm told the board. “How can teachers be effective when they are worried about how to provide for their own children?” One of those affected teachers would be Katherine Garcia, single mom and veteran teacher in the school district, who also spoke out at the school board meeting. “I have to support my children on my own and with this proposed raise in insurance, I already have to decide whether I want to go to the doctor or feed my family,” she told the board. Garcia, a teacher in the district for more than 15 years, told the board that she drives an 11-year-old car that breaks down twice a month because she can’t afford to get a new one. “I just beg you,” Garcia continued. “Please let’s come together and find the money to help us, please.” What the CTA wanted was a far cry from the contract they rejected. In an ideal world, they would have walked away from bargaining with a 10 percent increase to the payroll and no increase on health insurance premiums. Also, Doromal said, they’d hoped for a policy change so that money in the reserves that can currently only be used for nonrecurring payments like bonuses could be used for salary increases as well. Instead, the proposed contract saw insurance contributions go up by 18.8 percent, with 10 percent

of that absorbed by the district, and the rest of the hike appearing in insurance premiums. The increase sought to cover a deficit that stemmed from an uptick in catastrophic claims, says Mary-Grace Surrena, a school psychologist on the CTA bargaining team. The district was projecting a similar trend for the next fiscal year, so insurance went up. “That is one thing that we had really going for us, because salary had been an issue, but we can look at it and say, at least we have the best insurance plans and fees. And now that seems to be going away,” Surrena said in a phone interview. “We have had people go to other school districts for better pay and come back because our insurance was better here.” The rejected agreement had offered a 4 percent increase to the payroll. It’s also important, Doromal adds, to understand what a payroll increase means. It doesn’t mean the same as a salary increase, in which pay goes up across the board. A payroll increase means the total allocated amount of money to pay all teachers goes up, then the raises are divvied out accordingly based on pay grade. With higher insurance fees, some teachers would end up bringing home less pay than the year before. Matthew Hazel, a member of the CTA’s bargaining team, had warned the district the insurance premiums would be an “extremely bitter pill” to swallow. Still, the CTA “worked hard for the best deal that we thought was gettable.” It’s clear, he told the board, it wasn’t good enough for teachers. So the next step is Tallahassee. “That is where the loggerhead is,” Hazel told the board. “That is where the money is, and that is who we need to influence. We need to be in Tallahassee. All of us in numbers, in force. With the backing of our school board, the backing of our parents, and the backing of our teachers. And that’s where we will

“SALARY WAS AN ISSUE,

but at least we had the best insurance. Now that seems to be going away.”

get the change we need.” At the heart of the struggle surrounding teacher pay is the base student allocation. It’s the part of the budget used for teacher salary raises, among other expenses, and this amount is set in Tallahassee. It barely changed last year, to much uproar from educators. The base student allocation is determined annually by the Florida Legislature. It went from $4,154.45 for 2015-2016 to $4,160.71 in 2016-2017. Then it went from $4,203.95 for 20172018 to $4,204.42 for the last fiscal year, according to OCPS budget documents. Yes, the difference between 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 was, in fact, 47 cents. It prompted a group of superintendents for the largest school districts in the state to pen a guest column in the Tampa Bay Times in March 2018 denouncing the meager rise. Orange County superintendent Barbara Jenkins was among them. “For the past three years, the Legislature funded limited onetime bonuses for teachers instead of raises. Bonuses help with one-time purchases. They don’t help pay the mortgage or cover the annual rising costs of utility bills and health care,” the letter read. “The Legislature is touting ‘record’ funding for schools by counting money slated for safety and mental health, not for education. Their ‘record’ funding is all funneled into categorical funds and can only be used for certain purposes.” Then in May 2018, the Florida House published a cartoon explainer video of education funding on YouTube, complete with unicorns and a condescending voice-over saying “union bosses and their media allies” created a 47-cent “myth” by taking “one piece of the education budget and declaring it the sum total of education funding.” No, the base student allocation is not the sum total of education spending. It is, however, the part of education spending that addresses teacher salaries. It’s the part that will change teachers’ financial situations, and it funds certain student programs as well. And regardless of whether the change is 47 cents or $47, Florida still ranks 43rd in the nation for overall K-12 education spending. The state budgeted $21.1 billion for education in the 2018-2019 fiscal year. Overall per-student funding

was at $7,408, more than $4,300 below the national average of $11,762, according to the Florida Policy Institute. For the upcoming 2019-2020 fiscal year, the state increased overall K-12 funding to $21.8 billion. The base student allocation also went up to $4,279.49, this time a difference of $75 instead of 47 cents. So it’s no wonder Orange County teachers finally stood up and made history last week. Now that the contract has been voted down, CTA’s bargaining team will go back to the table with the district. It’s not possible to reach an agreement before school starts, Doromal says, but the sooner one is reached, the better. Without one, Doromal says, there are no bonuses, no raises, and health insurance open enrollment will be delayed. Still, as the negotiations are set to continue it seems there’s less animosity between teachers and local officials and more collective frustration. Orange County Public Schools representatives said there has not been a date set for a meeting with the district and union bargainers. The school board must approve any offer the district plans on presenting to the union before they do so, and an offer has yet to be approved. Officials did not discuss how they would respond to teachers’ insurance concerns. “Any discussions or changes made regarding compensation and benefits will take place during negotiations,” OCPS wrote in an emailed statement, adding that they “respect the right of teachers to engage in the ratification process.” The message coming from both teachers and the board has been one of unity. It seems that, for all intents and purposes, the real fight is in the state’s capital. In that same sense, teacher David Grimm called for unity last week. “The teachers of Orange County are tired of being abused, taken for granted and not being heard. School boards, districts, unions and state leaders: We know you can hear our voices now. We hope you are listening,” Grimm said. “We can begin to embrace the change that is coming. A movement that can be the catalyst for real progress in public education. I am excited about the opportunity of uniting together to show the rest of Florida that it doesn’t have to be us versus them.”

“I JUST BEG YOU.

Please let’s come together and find the money to help us, please.”

‘IT COULD HAPPEN ANYWHERE. IT DOES HAPPEN ANYWHERE’ The artists staging a reading of After Orlando, a collection of 70 short plays about Pulse, hope to provide empathy, comfort and healing BY CLA RISSA MOON

A

fter the tragedy at Pulse nightclub that took 49 lives and injured 50 more, a group of over 80 playwrights from around the world responded by contributing to After Orlando, a collection of over 70 short plays that have been performed throughout the country and overseas. Now Mad Cow Theatre has collaborated with the St. Louis-based That Uppity Theatre Co. to present 15 of these plays as part of the Association for Theatre in Higher Education’s conference in Orlando Friday, Aug. 9. Joan Lipkin, artistic director of That Uppity Theatre Co. who spearheaded the operation, says art is one way to provide support to Orlando. “If we were going to have our annual conference this year in Orlando, it seemed appropriate and necessary to witness and support this community as they move through their recovery and their efforts of healing,” she says. Orlando theater artists, including Mad Cow artistic director Mitzi Maxwell, director Monica Long Tamborello and actress Mandi Jo John, were moved upon hearing about After Orlando. A reading of the plays was produced previously in October 2016 by Margaret Nolan of Kangagirl Productions in conjunction with East Coast production

companies at the Lowndes Shakespeare Center. “It’s overwhelming, the response and the support from around the world that people have been demonstrating since [Pulse] happened,” John says. The full collection of plays features work by American, Canadian, African and British playwrights. “[Orlando] may be far away physically, but it’s not far away emotionally,” says Los Angeles-based playwright Jennifer Maisel. “Just because [the tragedy] was in Orlando doesn’t mean that that community isn’t part of my heart. It could happen anywhere. It does happen anywhere.” Multiple playwrights, including Brooklyn-based Amina Henry, Vancouver-based Elaine Avila and Maisel, say After Orlando allowed them to try to contribute to Orlando’s healing process. “This just felt like a way that I could make a gesture towards being useful in terms of acknowledging what happened and sort of contributing to the healing that needed to occur,” Henry says. Three years after the massacre, Maxwell, John and Tamborello agree that Orlando is still dealing with trauma. “Grieving is a long process,” Tamborello says. “It doesn’t

happen overnight. It doesn’t happen in just a year. It can take a lifetime. I think there are a lot of members of our community who are still grieving and will continue to grieve.” John, who lost several friends in the tragedy, says her grief is still fresh. “The best that we can do is try to honor them and make sure that this never happens again for the reasons that it happened. No one deserves to go through what Orlando has gone through,” she says. “No one.” Henry and Maisel express frustration that three years later, the government hasn’t made changes in gun legislation to prevent mass shootings, which still happen throughout the country. (Editor’s note: After this story was filed, two more mass shootings devastated El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio.) “Sadly, we keep thinking that [the plays are] not urgent and necessary and then they are again,” Maisel says. “What with the hate crime shooting [in Gilroy, California], what with the shooting at Tree of Life in Pittsburgh, that it is, sadly, still urgent.” The two-hour evening will include full readings of 15 short plays, each roughly three to eight minutes in length, with a talkback following the performance. The presentation features a cast of 10 actors guided by four directors. Lipkin says she decided to highlight Orlando playwrights David Lee and Paul and Leesa Castaneda by beginning and ending the readings with their plays. The plays will feature a variety of different perspectives, including those of a sister burying her brother, workers charged with removing bodies and a fast food worker opening a restaurant to feed first responders. Tamborello says she hopes the reading will promote empathy. “The way we live right now is so politically divisive,” she says. “I feel hearing people’s stories is so important to learning to understand them.” John says she hopes exposing people to the piece will bring about reckoning. “There is no such thing as casual homophobia,” she says. “There’s no such thing as casual discrimination, because it all ends here. It ends in blood no matter what. I think it’s really important to have art that comments on things that happened like Pulse. It’s important because it magnifies them and causes us to really kind of reckon with them.” Henry and Avila say that they hope the plays will provide comfort. “I hope through this that Orlando will be flooded with love,” Avila says. After Orlando will be presented as part of the Association for Theatre in Higher Education conference on Friday at the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress. Guests are encouraged to register for the free event with Mad Cow’s box office.

BY SETH KUBERSKY

Local composer Tristan Bishop’s Bold, a timely anti-Fascist musical, debuts Thursday at the Alexis & Jim Pugh Theater in the Dr. Phillips Center

BOLD: THE MUSICAL | PHOTO COURTESY OF THE PRODUCTION

For a fledgling theater producer the mission to “channel the power of the to pen his premiere musical in a matter of months, then invest his own savings into mounting a full production at the city’s most prestigious venue, is (to be blunt) more than a little bit bold. But that’s nothing next to the bravery of the real-life female spies that helped win World War II, and whose unsung exploits inspired Tristan Bishop’s Bold: The Musical, which makes its debut this week at the Alexis & Jim Pugh Theater in the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts. I dropped in on a rehearsal late last month to meet Bishop and learn why this former funk musician turned stage father is going all-in on this unfortunately timely anti-Fascist tuner. Born in New York, Tristan Bishop’s “hippie” parents moved him from Morocco to India to Latin Miami before high school; he says, “I’ve lived in a lot of cultures, and that leads directly to the show that I’ve written.” After spending his 20s touring with the House Jacks (a protoPentatonix a cappella group that opened for James Brown and Ray Charles) and writing “the first pop album” for Kai, “the first Asian-American boy band,” Bishop dropped out of professional entertainment for two decades to work in information technology, “making money and raising kids.” Bold: The Musical (boldmusical.com) is truly a family affair. Kierstyn Bishop, Tristan’s wife of 24 years, serves as producer and company co-founder, while his tween daughter, Natalie, a performer at the Holy Land Experience who encouraged her dad’s return to the stage, is featured in the cast. In 2017, Bishop founded the Unity Players as a 501(c)3 corporation with

arts in order to help and serve children.” The foundation’s chief focus is on funding mentoring activities for local foster youth through iPrevail’s Friends of Foster Homes program (iwillprevail.org), where Kierstyn volunteers. “Natalie and I got this idea that we could use our artistic ability to help fund the service projects that my wife was doing,” says Bishop. Their debut production of Annie at the Dr. Phillips Center in May 2018 raised $7,000. “It just blew up, we sold every seat,” Bishop says, but he was still unsatisfied with the returns. “The thing that really got me was writing the $11,000 check to the guy who wrote Annie, because that was $11,000 that I couldn’t donate. … So I thought, why don’t I write a show?” After toying with treatments about Rosie the Riveter and Josephine Baker, Bishop settled upon a fictionalized narrative about Winston Churchill’s Special Operations Executive, which sent women operatives on secret resistance missions in Germanoccupied territory. “I wanted to create a female-centric show,” Bishop explains, “so I spent the summer looking at stories in history where women had to step out of conventional roles, where historical circumstances had forced them to move beyond the gender expectations of the day.” Bishop sat down last fall and composed the sung-through score using Logic music software during a 12-day sabbatical from his day job (which eventually became a permanent separation), then recruited singers to record a concept album (which can be streamed at soundcloud.com).

“This show is Les Miz and Hamilton in a blender, with a little bit of Beauty and the Beast on top of it,” Bishop happily admits when asked to cite his musical theater influences. “It’s not subtle, either.” Though he acknowledges it’s unlikely to land on Broadway, Bishop says he had a specific educational objective in mind when crafting Bold. “I was actually trying to create a piece of art that high schools and colleges could do with the people they have in their programs. I was watching my daughter’s high-school program, and there were three or four women for every man,” he observes. “There are 10 incredible girls that are always in the ensemble, and they’re scraping boys off the wall to make it work. So this show has nine principal roles for women of a variety of ethnicities, by design; and the male roles rap, because you can get a high-school boy to rap in a show and he’s not embarrassed about it.” The Dr. Phillips Center has made headlines recently with their unaffordable rental rates for the upcoming Steinmetz Hall, but Bishop has nothing negative to say about being an independent producer in the Pugh Theater. “We were one of their first fully sold-out projects, so they’ve been great to us,” he says. However, he warns that “it’s amazing [but] it’s not cheap. They give us a good deal because we’re a nonprofit, so we get to lock up the place for a full week.” Even with a discount, the Bishops took money out of their retirement account to fund the production: “We put $40,000 of our own money in to make $15,000. It’s a gamble, and if we lose it, we lose it; our heart’s in the right place, and we’re still going to make a donation even if we don’t turn a profit.” (Bold runs Thursday through Sunday, Aug. 8-11, in the Alexis & Jim Pugh Theater in the Dr. Phillips Center; tickets are $25.) skubersky@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

ON THE CUTTING EDGE

Henry Moso brings his blinged-out brand of high-end sushi to Dr. Phillips BY FAIYAZ KARA

W

hether it’s Casselberry, Baldwin Park or I-Drive, this city’s sushi game is strong, and no one flexes as much muscle as Kabooki Sushi’s Henry Moso. At the wizened age of 29, he’s become one of our most creative and forward-thinking sushi chefs – if you’ve experienced his extravagant, multicourse omakase free-foralls, then you already know this. If you haven’t, well, prepare to be dazzled by his precision and floored by the weight of his prodigality. You’ll find Moso commanding the kitchen at Kabooki’s second location in the Bayhill Plaza, just a rice ball’s throw away from the corporate poseurs lining West Sand Lake Road and well within reach of the neighborhood’s posh and propertied restaurant-goers. The space is alluring – seductive, even – in 50 shades of sultry, but it’s the sexagon (how apropos) that proves most shapely. The figure is employed on walls, under counters, as shelving, and all for good reason: Moso views the polygon as a symbol

of limitless creativity. Again, apropos. A sweet Okayama hotate (scallop) capped with a green apple aguachile and watermelon pearls with a yuzu sunomono isn’t just creativity writ large, but easily the best thing I’ve put in my mouth this year. It was served during the opening rounds of a tasting omakase which, at $175 on the low end and $250 on the high end, isn’t cheap. Moso suggests giving the restaurant a oneweek heads-up – for “optimum culinary excellence” – though singed wild Alaskan king crab with truffle cream graced with shaved black truffles and truffle pearls, or British Columbian Kuushi oysters with a lychee-champagne sorbet, Thai basil oil and rainbow trout roe may be had with the 10-course a la carte omakase. It’s based on what’s available for the day and runs $150. If you’re the sort to indulge solely in nigiri, a 10-piece tasting ($65) with soup may have you moaning over Japanese threadfin bream with yuzu kosho, or kinmedai topped with monkfish liver and grated spicy daikon.

Moso imports fish from Tokyo’s Toyosu Market, and he and head sushi chef Dan Nguyen have the knife skills and torch technique to do these well-traveled swimmers justice – whether it’s Japanese whiting, striped jack, horse mackerel or hamachi belly slicked in whiskey barrel-aged soy sauce and fiery kosho. You may get a tasting of (Mexican) bluefin tuna or, if you’re lucky, a piece of otoro topped with Japanese uni, Siberian sturgeon caviar and 24-karat gold leaf (bling! bling! bling!). There are cold tastings – wild Alaskan halibut ($18) cured in kombu, rolled in nori and served atop an incredible sauce of aji amarillo, or a Filipino ceviche of fluke ($17) in coconut milk and coconut vinegar. Both are absolute treats. There are hot tastings fashioned by chef de cuisine Mike Evans – a hefty seared U10 scallop ($18) fabulously foiled by a puree of roasted kabocha squash and sage, dinosaur kale chips and bluefoot mushrooms, or the “miso corny” ($18), sousvide octopus splattered with a squid ink soubise (it’s an onion sauce) and textured with charred corn and marcona almonds. And since you’re splurging, go ahead and splurge a bit more on now-ubiquitous A5 Miyazaki beef ($25 per ounce). There’s a serious cocktail program led by bar manager Evan Sewell (the Woods, RavPig), and her “Springtime Blues,” concocted with Hayman’s gin, taro, coconut, Peychaud’s, nigori sake and flowery Rosolio di Bergamotto, will make a fool of the hardcore tippler. Desserts can get a bit art-for-art’s-sake: carrot cake ($12) dolled up with flowers, sherry raisins and walnut “sand”; goat cheese panna cotta ($10) with beet cake and black pepper almonds; devil’s food cake ($10) with chocolate sesame oil, whipped yuzu crème fraîche and red miso caramel. The flourishes are heavy, but they’re master strokes nonetheless. And, yes, there are a handful (or a handful and three fingers’ worth) of rolls, none of which you’ll find at your average sushi joint. Evidently some jokers walk in demanding to be served shrimp tempura rolls, much to the irritation of the chefs who, inevitably, acquiesce while biting their collective tongues. Even in the face of such annoyances they know that, at Kabooki, the show must go on.

and Gary “Chino” Poon will be co-head chefs at the Park Avenue sushi spot … A food hall-ish venue called Maitland Market could be coming to East Horatio Avenue, if a proposal by the same group who converted the State Auto Body Building in Winter Park (current site of Foxtail Coffee, Create Your Nature and the Winter Park Brewstillery) is approved … Cress Restaurant in DeLand is moving away from its ticketed events-based dinners to full-time dinner service starting Thursday, Aug. 15.

OPENINGS Cuba 1800s, an “authentic Cuban restaurant,” will open in the space previously occupied by El Ranchon Latino on East Colonial Drive near the 417 … Passione Di Sofi, specializing in various fried Neapolitan street snacks called “cuoppo,” will roll out their food truck in September before moving into a permanent space … A pop-up bar built from a million LEGOs will come to Orlando next summer from June 13-14. The Brick Bar will bring LEGO-inspired drinks, food and LEGO-related competitions to a yet-tobe-disclosed location … Look for Ocean Poke to open in the old Trufit space on New Broad Street in Baldwin Park … Paris Banh Mi & Tea Cafe is planned to open on East Colonial Drive near the 408 in September. It bears no relation to the Paris Banh Mi Cafe Bakery on East Colonial Drive in Mills 50, though the owners of the two cafes do have a history. Lawyers are circling.

CLOSING Ararat Bistro on Universal Boulevard has closed, but will relocate to a space nearby, with plans to reopen Sept. 1 … Orange County Brewers is closing its downtown location on Orange Avenue and moving to Lake Mary. The guys from Orlando Meats are looking to take over the downtown space for a new concept.

A

n old filmmaking adage teaches us that different movies succeed for different reasons. While one film might win you with its visual style and directorial sensibility, another might lack technical pizzazz but succeed thanks to a compelling story and a couple of solid performances. Such is the case for Brian Banks, which has little cinematic flair, a heavy-handed score, a saccharine under-taste and even some cringeworthy dialogue, but is effective for the simplest reason: You care about the main character. Based on the real story of Brian Banks, the new drama by director Tom Shadyac tells the tale of a talented high school football player imprisoned for a rape he did not commit. Banks’ incarceration, probation and sex-offender status ruined his chance at a college athletic scholarship and lucrative NFL career – until Banks decided to do something about his seemingly hopeless situation. This jail-to-justice story is fodder for a feel-good TV flick, and Doug Atchison’s screenplay often lives down to that boob-tube expectation. But an emotion-

ally powerful performance by Aldis Hodge (Leverage, Straight Outta Compton) as Banks and a film-stealing one by relative newcomer Xosha Roquemore as Banks’ accuser elevate the film beyond both a typical sports flick and a cable-channel “movie of the week.” In fact, Roquemore’s character’s re-emergence halfway through the film saves the production from narrative drift and, shockingly, is true. (It’s refreshing to see a biopic not reinvent its subject’s life.) In a well-cast supporting role is Greg Kinnear as the head of the California Innocence Project, a nonprofit organization devoted to helping wrongly convicted individuals. The CIP is featured so heavily that the film can seem like a message movie. It also teeters on the brink of a religious picture, thanks to references to God and one scene’s conveniently placed cross. Kinnear seems to enjoy such films, but it’s still nice to see him back from the cinematic wilderness, if only briefly. The same goes for Morgan Freeman, who, in a tiny and uncredited part as Banks’ prison mentor, adds gravitas. Sherri Shepherd (Everybody Loves Raymond), as Banks’ mother, also

enjoys some successful screen time, but a subplot involving a potential romantic interest is a tad contrived, despite a competent performance by Melanie Liburd (This Is Us). Almost as fascinating as the film are the parallels between subject and director. Shadyac, famous for such middle-brow fare as Bruce Almighty, Patch Adams, Liar Liar and Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, experienced a life-altering bicycle accident in 2007. The crash, which gave him postconcussion syndrome and left him suicidal, also offered him a fresh outlook on life. He gave up directing, eschewed materialism, opened a homeless shelter and eventually became a teacher. In fact, except for a documentary about his existential transformation, Brian Banks is Shadyac’s first directorial project since Evan Almighty in 2007. Clearly, he was moved by Banks’ story. I predict you will be too. “All you can control in life is how you respond to life,” Freeman’s character preaches. It’s advice that both Banks and Shadyac obviously took to heart.

BY STEVE SCHNEIDER

OPENING THIS WEEK: The Art of Racing in the Rain Let’s all welcome the latest entry in the genre of Stories Told From a Dog’s Point of View. Of course you’ll remember past efforts like A Dog’s Purpose. And, uh … All That Jazz. Anyway, in this one, a wise canine named Enzo reflects on his relationship with his human family. Enzo is voiced by Kevin Costner, whose character in 2013’s Man of Steel just happened to die saving the family pup from a twister; thus, I’m choosing to believe Enzo is the reincarnation of Pa Kent. I guess these dog movies have really done something to me. But I’m sure all the Marianne Williamson books haven’t helped either. (PG) Dora and the Lost City of Gold The Hollywood Reporter’s Todd McCarthy brought down the wrath of the internet for complaining three times in the space of one review that this live-action adaptation of the popular kids’ cartoon lacks sufficient “hormones.” And that pile-on was kind of unfair, because there’s nobody around to defend McCarthy as long as Roman Polanski is stuck in Europe. Curiously, we were told all reviews of the picture are embargoed until Friday’s opening day. Maybe somebody’s trying to minimize further damage? Guess you’ll have to wait until the weekend to find out what Herbert the Pervert from Family Guy thinks. (PG) The Kitchen DC Comics recently shuttered its Vertigo imprint, but the latter is still being used as fodder for movies you’d never guess were based on graphic novels. Set in the

1970s, The Kitchen shows what happens when a bunch of Irish mobsters are sent to prison and their wives have to run the family business. In the lead is actual Irish person Melissa McCarthy, which you know has to chap Scarlett Johansson’s ass. (R) Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark After three decades, the popular series of children’s horror stories has finally come to the screen. The story takes place in 1968, as the discovery of a mysterious book threatens the innocence of a bunch of small-town teenagers. Talk about a missed opportunity: Set this thing in 1969, and you could have worked in the Manson Family. (And Bruce Lee, for some reason.) All that’s left now is for The Hollywood Reporter to tell us if the kids are hot enough. (PG-13)

ALSO PLAYING: Marianne & Leonard: Words of Love After Neil of The Young Ones described vampires as “dead and yet still alive, just like Leonard Cohen,” there was really nothing left to say about Mr. Mournful Alleluia. But this documentary tries to find something anyway, focusing on the brief but allegedly impactful relationship between Cohen and Marianne Ihlen, the woman who was his muse. (Ugh, that word.) Director Nick Broomfield made his name with Kurt & Courtney and Biggie & Tupac. Which I guess explains a slight alteration on the film’s soundtrack: “Everybody knows that the dice are loaded/ Everybody knows the feds bumped me off.” (NR; playing at Regal Winter Park Village & RPX) orlandoweekly.com

trating. “This process takes so long, you wouldn’t imagine. It’s supposed to be a couple of months. That becomes a couple of years. In the meantime, you always have to stay inside the country until everything gets done. That’s so heartbreaking because we have friends and fans that we love and miss so much that it’s a shame not being able to bring our shows to all places for a big while … but, let me tell you, the fascination and excitement for coming back to them is one of my biggest motivations. For now, I try to carry all this love I have inside to all our new friends and family that, thanks to this life, we found around this land.” In many ways, Zeta may seem like a nomadic band without a home. Eduardo disagrees: “House is a place but home is a feeling, so anywhere I found myself with a nice vegan meal in front of me next to this family I choose [is home]. The Zeta family has been growing so much since 2003. Right now I know I have maybe the biggest family in the world.” This Thursday, “home” will be Orlando, with a gig at Soundbar. Come leave a part of yourself on the floor and give your brothers a hug before they drive off into the sunset.

eta is a band that transcends borders and their music reflects it. Their live shows push furiously at the limits of punk, bringing in flavors of prog rock as well as traditional Venezuelan roots music, all of it unleashed in overwhelming waves upon an audience with supreme positivity. Multi-instrumentalist and founding member Dani Eduardo tells Orlando Weekly, “It’s a big catharsis … you’ll leave a lot but you also will take a lot back home.” Fans have bestowed upon them some colorful descriptions; two of Eduardo’s favorites are, “the living experience of being alive” and “the South American angry Pink Floyd.” A little over two years ago the group left their native Venezuela and embarked on a tour of the U.S. that has yet to stop. So they could also be described as “the hardesttouring band in the music business,” with shows virtually every night of the week, all year long. They’ve spent so much time touring, living and working here in the States that last year they decided to make it official

Being somewhat grounded has at least allowed them time to focus on new music, and a new album, recorded by Brok Mende at Audiotree Studios in Chicago, will be released at Gainesville’s FEST on Nov. 3: “The name of the album is still a secret, but I can tell you that we feel like, ‘Hell yeah, this album is the best album we did ever!’” “We used to be as active as we were the past few years, but in all different countries in South America,” Eduardo says, adding that the whole bureaucratic mess is frus-

BY B AO L E - H U U YR GLOW | PHOTO BY JEN CRAY

This week, some young bands

shine in Parramore and Gabby’s World debut in Orlando with some local love.

CHARLES IRWIN, YR GLOW, EVEN LESS FRIENDS AND ROCKO ENGLISH, STONEWALL BAR, JULY 28

In addition to checking back in on some of the new vibrations coming out of Parramore, this recent pan-Floridian showcase looked like a good discovery opportunity since the only known quantity to me on the bill was the convoluted quirk of Orlando indie-rock band Rocko English. The apparent guests of honor were Tampa’s Charles Irwin, a young band that just released a new album (Beach Lake Park) and were kicking off their first ever tour, a short one up the East Coast. Curiously lovely, their sunny indie rock is a fanciful dance of melody and idiosyncrasy. But the star of the night ended up being fellow Tampa group Yr Glow. Their lo-fi jangle-pop rings through a warm, hazy lens with some surf overtones. In concert, however, they can sometimes kick like an almost completely different band. At this show, their sound was smeared notably thicker with noisy rock dives. Even when they got back to those charming vibes, it was with much more shag, scrap and chunk. In fact, Yr Glow’s performance packed enough spark to ignite the potential energy of the room into the night’s first and best pit. Once that connection was forged, the band capitalized on the crowd’s great freshman energy, whipping them into a froth and ultimately harnessing it by commanding the floor into a mosh-grade

Yr Glow whipped the audience into a froth and mobilized them into a mosh-grade conga line that ran right out and then back into the club conga line that ran right out of then back into the club. Keeping the evening’s streak alive, Fort Myers trio Even Less Friends brought their own characteristic merge of offkilter guitar pop and 1990s tendencies. A swirl of melody, jags and emotion, their earnest sound is quality, interesting indie rock.

GABBY’S WORLD, BELLOWS AND TV DINNER, WILL’S PUB, JULY 29

Gabby’s World is the newest project from New York musician Gabrielle Smith, the mind also behind Eskimeaux and Ó. And this recent concert presented by Ugly Orange was the band’s Orlando debut. Although – or perhaps because – Smith has covered considerable sonic ground before arriving at this current pop sound, Gabby’s World has a wide, polycolor indie horizon that’s much easier to feel than to tidily encapsulate in description. With a high-functioning four-player band that includes Bellows leader and fellow Epoch member Oliver Kalb, that spectrum was stroked with vivid definition and fidelity. It was a luminous performance that underscored how naturally Smith is wearing her latest pop skin.

And her local moment of the night was when she gave an onstage shout-out to OW music contributor Ida V. Eskamani, who was in attendance and had interviewed Smith for a preview feature story. Though this was the Orlando premiere of Gabby’s World, Gabrielle Smith has performed in the City Beautiful before – a couple of years ago, as a part of Bellows, who were now opening up for her. Like Gabby’s World, Bellows is primarily the vehicle for a single musician, the aforementioned Oliver Kalb. From bedroom beginnings, Bellows has sprouted big indie-pop wings. With the same cast of players as Gabby’s World, this band rendered Bellows’ lovely, unbridled pop spirit with elegance and anthemic scale. Kalb’s local moment was his recounting of an exchange he witnessed at one of their previous Orlando shows where the Will’s Pub door guy either bravely or ignorantly denied a member of the Warlocks biker gang who was determined to avoid the cover charge. Opening the night was reliably upward Orlando band TV Dinner, whom I’m going to officially stop referring to as “twee pop” because they’re now much more than the act they started out as. Between their crystallization as a group and the blossoming of singer-guitarist Julia Joyce, who has really benefited from the sharpening she’s been doing solo as Julee Bruise, they’re an indie-rock unit of more incision, efficiency and substance than ever. TV Dinner aren’t simply pleasant anymore. Both emotionally and sonically, their complexion is deeper now. They cut, and they bleed. And they’ve been one of the more impressive local evolutions in recent years. baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com

Shawna Potter LITERARY

OUR PICKS FOR THE BEST EVENTS THIS WEEK

36

Shawna Potter, lead singer of Baltimore punks War on Women, is currently on the road with her band as the touring opener for metallers Baroness, and as mentioned on this very page, that unfeasibly heavy bill is playing the Plaza Live on Friday. But on a less musical – but arguably more urgent – note, in an early evening event well before the Plaza gig, Potter will appear solo at Park Ave CDs to read from her new book, Making Spaces Safer, published by the alwaysessential AK Press, with a Q&A to follow. Making Spaces Safer is a guide of sorts, based on Potter’s work advising venues around the country on being more inclusive safe spaces and havens for marginalized people. This is a huge opportunity to gain keen and practical insight from a punk lifer, and it’s highly recommended for music scene-builders, participants and fans on underground and aboveground levels. Learn something. – Matthew Moyer 6:30 p.m. | Park Ave CDs, 2916 Corrine Drive | 407-447-7275 | parkavecds.com | free

Much-loved Savannah metal stompers Baroness are winding down their summer tour, hitting the City Beautiful for a couple of really promising gigs at the end of this week. At the forefront, there’s this supremely heavy triple bill at the Plaza Live, where Baroness is joined by stoner lords Torche and fiery punks War on Women. Expect Baroness to lean heavily on new album Gold & Grey, an album where everything about the band is bigger and better: more personnel, more creative ambition, bigger proggy arrangements, more harmony amidst the heaviness. And as a treat for the diehards, the day before this show, the band will head over to Park Ave CDs to perform a free in-store acoustic (!) performance and signing. It’s been a hell of a ride for this band; come see their continued phoenixlike rise from tragedy and adversity. – MM with Torche, War on Women | 8 p.m. | The Plaza Live, 425 N.

The Mikado: A Concert Version THEATER

Central Florida Vocal Arts, teaming up with Opera del Sol and Space Coast Symphony, presents a modern concert version of Gilbert and Sullivan’s classic operetta. When it was written in 1885, the operetta set in the fictional Japanese town of Titipu was intended as a satirical look at British culture. Central Florida Vocal Arts hopes to modernize the piece by taking out culturally insensitive material and portraying actual Japanese culture. The Orange County Regional History Center plans to present a mini-exhibit in the lobby, and audiences can look forward to the Orlando Taiko Dojo playing the drums on opening night. – Clarissa Moon 7:30 p.m. Friday-Saturday, 3 p.m. Sunday | Orlando Repertory Theatre, 1001 E.

COMEDY

EVENTS

MUSIC

It seems like every successful comedian – and more than a few unsuccessful ones – has a podcast these days. But to stand out among the crowd, your show has to be more than just Morning Zoostyle banter. That’s why Dan Cummins’ “Timesuck” podcast has such a strong following. While Cummins has had a pretty successful career in stand-up over the past two decades, his weekly deep dives into user-submitted topics lets his passion for dark humor, storytelling and going down the internet-research rabbit hole combine. This weekend, Cummins displays that pitch-black humor on stage at the Orlando Improv for two nights, then returns on Sunday for a live taping of “Timesuck” with special guests – who else? – Tom & Dan of “A Mediocre Time With Tom & Dan.” – Thaddeus McCollum

Alligators, King Kong and magical mermaids, oh my! If you’re looking for quirky oddities and mysterious treasures, then the Orange County Regional History Center is the place to be. As the museum gets closer to their upcoming renovations, they’re holding an open auction of props and display items in order to raise money. Auction items include a prop crop-duster, a locomotive and train cars, a Muscovy duck, Seminole dolls, a sloth claw and more. They may not be real historical items, but you’re not going to find decorations like these anywhere else. Participate in the Fabulous Floridiana Preview on Thursday, Aug. 8, from 6-8 p.m. to view the unique items and get a step up on the fierce competition. Whether you’re looking to support Florida history or just to decorate your home or office with a wild and wacky item, the Fabulous Floridiana Auction offers a special piece of treasure for every purpose. – Annabelle Sikes

Comprised primarily of married duo Jillian and Logan Ivey of Chattanooga, Tennessee, the Mailboxes make intimate songs that remind us of the turn-of-the-millennium heyday of sweet, sometimes-meandering indie pop. “Mortgages,” from their debut album, Inside Outside, could be a Millennial anthem with its nods to economic and emotional depression. Don’t think there’s not a requisite sense of humor and whimsy here, though; they did go through the trouble of outfitting themselves in all-lavender hiking and camping gear to trek the Appalachian Trail just because. You may catch a glimpse of that lavender gear when they play a free show at Lil Indies this weekend since, yes, they even painted their ukulele and glockenspiel that color. Gotta love that whimsy. – Thaddeus McCollum

Megaplex: The Greatest Escape Blind Wine Tasting Knowing that one wine is more expensive or has a nicer label than another can skew our perception of how good that particular wine tastes. That’s why College Park’s Digress wine shop is trying out a “blind” wine tasting this week. You’ll get two flights of wine – three whites and three reds – to sip in a guided tasting. Try guessing the type of grape and country of origin for a shot at prizes, then get a discount on your favorites once the vintages are unveiled. 6-8 p.m. Thursday; Digress Wine, 1215 Edgewater Drive; $28.17; digresswine.com.

Megaplex: The Greatest Escape Furries – people who are into anthropomorphic animals, whether sexually or just as an idealized alter ego – take a lot of shit from the mainstream; it’s often assumed that anyone with a “fursona” is some sort of sexual deviant. This weekend, though, they get to gather in peace and let their fur flags fly at Megaplex, a weekend convention featuring furry-focused vendors, games, costume parades, karaoke, stand-up comedy and late-night dances. Most importantly, no one’s around to yuck their yum. Thursday-Sunday; Caribe Royale Orlando, 8101 World Center Drive; $15-$55; megaplexcon.org. Janine Klein: Rehearsed One of Orlando’s most beloved performers returns to the stage this week with a new cabaret at the Venue. Janine Klein, who’s appeared in a slew of Fringe shows, plays, musicals and cabarets – not to mention behind-the-scenes work – performs a night of “diva” cover songs, accompanied by Emily Fontano and keyboardist Ryan Goodwin. Grab a drink and a seat and watch a local master at work. 7:30 p.m. Friday, The Venue, 511 Virginia Ave.; $15-$20; thevenueorlando.com. Cult Classics: The Spongebob Squarepants Movie Although Spongebob Squarepants has been around for 20 years, only the first three seasons of the show, along with the 2004 feature film that the Enzian is showing this week, were under the direct supervision of show creator Stephen Hillenburg. Hillenburg’s sense of absurd humor is one of the reasons the show garnered a cult following from ostensible adults in the early 2000s, and it probably peaked with this feature. Parents may grumble that a so-called “kid’s movie” is scheduled for way after bedtime, but this screening isn’t really geared toward the younguns as much as those who were young when it first debuted. 9:30 p.m. Tuesday; Enzian Theater, 1300 S.

Veggie Burger Brawl E V E N TS

You don’t have to be vegan to enjoy a really good veggie burger, you know – or to hate a bad one. If you can accept the word “burger” as shorthand for “edible disk served between buns,” you can bypass the most tiresome anti-vegan talking point of all: “If you won’t eat animal products, why do you call it a burger/hot dog/milk/mayonnaise, huh?” (always delivered in the most gotcha way possible)*. And if you can manage to stifle that stale-ass argument, you can enjoy some of the most creative cooking going down in town this Saturday, when chef Eddie Matta of Proper & Wild goes head-tohead against chef Kelsey Moreau of the Sanctum. Expect umami explosions, some friendly trash talk between competitors, and a complete lack of the meat sweats on your way out. – Jessica Bryce Young *You know how you know this is a bad argument? Mississippi just passed a law against calling veggie burgers “burgers.” Do you really want to model your thinking on a Mississippi lawmaker? 6 p.m. | The Sanctum Café, 715 N.

B Y DA N S AVAG E

I’m a 42-year-old single straight woman who recently started dating a 36-year-old man in a somewhat exclusive, long-distance relationship. We have known each other for a short time, but have clocked hours upon hours on the phone. I have specifically stated many times I don’t want kids of my own (he does), am extremely safety-conscious (only when I see someone’s STI results and know we’re 100 percent monogamous will I go “bareback”) and am against hormonal contraception. Therefore, I’ve insisted on the use of condoms since our very first encounter, which he at first reluctantly agreed to, but has since obliged without incident. He is expressively into me and treats me better than any guy I’ve dated; cooks for me, gives me massages, buys me gifts, showers me with compliments, listens to me at any hour of the night and has shown nothing but respect towards me since Day 1. Until our last sexual encounter. He woke me up in the morning clearly aroused and ready for sexy time. He asked if he could enter me, and after I said yes, I grabbed a condom for him and he put it on. We were spooning at the time so he entered me from behind. At one point early in the encounter, I reached back to grab his hand, and all of a sudden, felt the condom he had been wearing laid out on the bed. Shocked and outraged, I immediately stopped and turned to him asking, “Why did you take this off?” To which he replied, “Because I wanted to cum faster.” All I could muster back was, “Do you have any idea how bad that is? I can’t even look at you.” I covered my eyes and cried uncontrollably for a few minutes. After getting dressed, showering and exiting without a word, I started to process the atrocity of his actions. It’s clear that he does not respect me, my body, my health or my reproductive choices, and made his physical pleasure his top priority. He has apologized profusely, been emotional about his actions, and has definitely shown remorse. After sending him several articles on how it’s criminal (including the one about the German man who got eight months in jail for stealthing), he now seems to grasp the severity. It’s hard to reconcile his consistent respect for me with a bold and disrespectful act like this. The best case is that he’s a dumbass; the worst is that his respect and care for me is all a facade and I’ve been a fool. Is there any reason I should consider continuing to see this guy? Is it remotely forgivable? Stealthed On Suddenly Nope. The obvious (and objectively true) point is that anything is forgivable. People have forgiven worse – I mean, there are mothers out there who’ve forgiven the people that murdered their children. But moms who’ve found it within themselves to forgive their children’s murderers … yeah, they don’t have

to live with, take meals with or sleep with their children’s murderers. I’m not saying that forgiving the person who murdered your kid is easy (I wouldn’t be able to do it), but most people who’ve “forgiven worse” never have to lay eyes on the person they forgave again. So while it may be true that people have forgiven worse, SOS, I don’t think you should forgive this. And here’s why: You only just started dating this guy and all the good qualities you listed – everything that made him seem like a good, decent, lovely and possibly loving guy (the cooking, the massages, the compliments, etc.) – is the kind of best-foot-forward fronting a person does at the start of a new relationship. Not only is there nothing wrong with that, SOS, but you wouldn’t want to date someone who didn’t do that at the start … because the kind of person who doesn’t make the effort to impress early in a relationship is the kind of person who can’t be bothered to make any effort later in the relationship. We all erect those facades, SOS, but some people are slapping those facades on slums you wouldn’t wanna live in, while others are slapping them on what turns out to be pretty decent housing. And if I may continue to torture this metaphor: When the first cracks appear in the facade, which they inevitably do, and you get a peek behind it, you aren’t a fool if it turns out there’s a slum there. You’re only a fool if you move in instead of moving on. Anyway, SOS, everybody fronts, but eventually, those facades fall away and you get to see people for who and what they really are. And the collapse of your new boyfriend’s facade revealed him to be a selfish and uncaring asshole with no respect for your body or your boundaries. He was on his best behavior until he sensed your guard was down, at which point he violated and sexually assaulted you. Those aren’t flaws you can learn to live with or actions you can excuse. Move on. I am a 27-year-old man in an open marriage with a wonderful partner. They’re my best friend, I smile whenever they walk into the room and we have a ton in common. We don’t, however, have that much sex. I’m currently seeing someone else and our sex is great. We’ve explored some light BDSM and pegging, and I’m finding myself really enjoying being a sub. I’m kind of terrified that, as a man, I might accidentally violate someone’s boundaries. I’m also autistic, which makes navigating cues from partners rather difficult. Completely submitting to someone else weirdly makes me feel totally safe and free for kind of the first time. The problem is, my spouse is also pretty subby. When they do try to initiate sex, it’s often so subtle that I totally miss the signals. In the past month, I’ve had sex with my spouse maybe once,

“ B O U N DA R I E S ”

compared to four or five times with my other partner. My question is this: Have you seen examples of people in open marriages who essentially fulfill their sexual needs with secondary partners, while still maintaining a happy companionable partnership with their primary? Sexually Understanding Butt-Boy I’ve personally known people in loving, happy, sexless marriages who aren’t leading sexless lives; their marriages are companionate – some can even be described as passionate – but both halves seek sexual fulfillment with secondary, tertiary, quaternary, etc., partners. But companionate open marriages only work when it’s what both partners want … and your partner’s feelings are conspicuously absent from your letter. How do they feel about being in a sexless or nearly sexless marriage? Your spouse would seem to be interested in having sex with you – they occasionally try to initiate – but perhaps your spouse is just going through the motions because they think it’s what you want. So … you’re gonna need to have a conversation with your spouse about your sex lives. If you’ve found being told what to do in unsubtle ways by your Dominant second partner to be sexually liberating, SUBB, you could ask your spouse to be a little less subtle when they want to initiate – or, better yet, ask them not to be subtle at all. Nowhere is it written that subs like you and your spouse have to be subtle or sly or stand there waiting for others to initiate. “I am feeling horny and I’d really like to have sex tonight” is something submissives can and do say.
