Readers react to stories from last week’s issue. On Feb. 6, we asked why Florida keeps voting for lawmakers without a plan for climate change, despite the state being the most affected. According to a new study from the Brookings Institution’s Metropolitan Policy Program, eight of the top 10 metropolitan areas most susceptible to climate-related losses toward the end of the century are located in Florida, with the Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford area ranked at No. 8. @Laila Marie Sadiq The whole world is on board except us. Get your heads out of the sand. Do you think we can consistently abuse our planet and there not be repercussions? @Adam Pugh Because it’s a hoax. It’s a money grab by the liberal politicians @Paul Inman Adam Pugh, the mayor of Miami, has been upgrading the water pumps to pump the water out of the city as the water levels are rising. Pretty soon they’ll be needing new pumps to keep up with the water rising. They also changed the building codes and raised the buildings up much, much higher. It’s already happening. On Feb. 8, we reported on Davie Police arresting three people who were part of a gang that kidnapped, robbed and tortured an undocumented man in South Florida.

The group is believed to be targeting undocumented immigrants and robbing them for cash because they believe immigrants are less likely to report being a victim of a crime to police, says Davie Police Sgt. Mark Leone. Joshua Aaron Greiff, 30, Natalie Rebecca Williams, 34, and Andres Rafael, 31, were all charged with felony counts of armed robbery, kidnapping and aggravated battery. @Elissa Crooks My comment is going to piss some of you off. But this is why we need sanctuary cities. Sanctuary cities are in place so undocumented people will report crimes and work with police as witnesses on crimes. If you don’t agree, then it does give assholes like this gang free rein to pose terror on the streets. @Blanca Martin This is known and nothing new to happen to Guats (Guatemalans and other Central Americans) in Lake Worth, Florida. Nothing new, just glad that one of them finally came out. @Tatine Darker It’s Christmas for criminals when police [cooperate] with ICE. … Officers and our Sheriffs’ deputies should carry small cards with a clear message – in several languages – that their job is to keep the community safe and that they do not enforce civil immigration laws, meaning it’s safe to call them if you’re victimized, regardless of immigration status.

Photos surface of state Rep. Anthony Sabatini in blackface and brownface, a new bill would empower cities to ban singleuse plastic, more than half of Central Florida households are struggling, and other news you may have missed last week. »

Bill would force police to cooperate with ICE in detaining undocumented immigrants: SB 168, filed by state Sen. Joe Gruters, R-Sarasota, demands that all state agencies, municipal governments and police departments not only comply with federal immigration law but also work with the agencies to impose it. The Florida House voted to pass a similar crackdown last year, but it failed in the Senate. The bill prohibits local elected officials from passing “sanctuary policies” that stop agencies from communicating or cooperating with immigration authorities, specifically around ICE detainer requests.

Photo appears to show state Rep. Anthony Sabatini, who’s still dealing with a blackface scandal, wearing brownface: A photo of state Rep. Anthony Sabatini, who refuses to resign after photos surfaced of him in blackface, appears to show him in brownface, wearing a stereotypical “Mexican” costume. The photo was provided by an anonymous former classmate. It shows Sabatini dressed “as a Mexican,” with darkened skin, a fake mustache, a serape and a sombrero-like hat. Another former classmate of Sabatini’s corroborated the costume and was able to describe it.

Bill would allow cities to ban single-use plastic: State Reps. Anna Eskamani and Michael Grieco have filed a bill that would remove the state’s preemption that restricts municipal governments’ ability to ban single-use plastics and recyclable materials. HB 6033 would remove language from state law that blocks cities and counties from implementing their own rules surrounding use of plastics and polystyrene. A study in Science found that about 19.4 billion pounds of plastic waste is dumped into the ocean annually – a figure that’s projected to double as the world’s population density increases.

Almost half of Central Florida households struggle to cover basic needs, report says: A report from United Way found that 47 percent of households in Orange County, about 220,200, struggled to afford basic costs in 2016. In Osceola County, 57 percent of families, an estimated 55,614 households, earned less than the basic cost of living. The report includes households that meet federal poverty levels and also “ALICE” households, or “Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed,” which comprises households of people who have jobs but can’t afford the costs of living. About 44 percent of households in Lake County, nearly 56,711 families, were listed as financially insecure. Seminole County fared slightly better with only 39 percent of families, or about 65,344 households, who struggled to cover basic costs.

Central Florida will receive $7.8 million in federal funding for affordable housing, homelessness: More than $2 million of the funds will be provided to programs in Orange, Osceola and Seminole counties that offer permanent housing to people with mental and physical disabilities, many of whom have been homeless for years. The remainder of the funds will be provided to help shelter homeless youth, support the rehousing of families and provide a boost to each county’s housing programs. xpeters@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

YOU’LL MISS US WHEN WE’RE GONE Journalism has a problem. And journalism’s problem is democracy’s problem. BY J EFFREY C. BI L L M A N , W I T H R EP OR T I N G BY CO L E V I L L E N A

“This week,” Jane Elizabeth,

the managing editor of the Raleigh News & Observer and Durham Herald-Sun in North Carolina’s Research Triangle, tweeted Feb. 2, “we learned that a good portion of our … staff – and every other McClatchy newsroom – will be offered buyouts. … The business model may be broken but journalism is not. Journalism supports democracy & democracy supports journalism. Journalism will outlast us all. The faces and platforms and technology will change, but journalism will last as long as democracy does.” I’d offer a more pessimistic spin on that last part: Democracy will last as long as journalism does, not the other way around. And if we don’t figure out a way to pay for journalism, journalism, especially local journalism, will die. On Feb. 1, McClatchy offered voluntary early-retirement buyouts to about 450 employees at its 29 newspapers in 14 states – including the Miami Herald, the Charlotte Observer, the Kansas City Star and the Sacramento Bee – about 10 percent of the company’s workforce. They were all over the age of 55 and were eligible for pensions, meaning they’d been there for at least 10 years. They have until Feb. 19 to decide whether to take the buyouts. McClatchy spokeswoman Jeanne

Segal stresses that this is “not a staff cut. It’s a chance to retire early.” But what happens if not enough people take McClatchy up on the offer? “We’ll have to see. That’s projecting into the future, which we’re not allowed to do because we’re a publicly traded company.” I think you can read between those lines. (Segal previously told the Columbia Journalism Review, “We hope that offering early voluntary retirement and shifting to a functional organization will create enough savings in operating expenses to avoid layoffs.”) More than anything, these newspapers are victims of the dumpster fire of a company that owns them. As Poynter reported in September, McClatchy is saddled with nearly $800 million in debt and its market cap is the lowest of the seven publicly traded newspaper companies. “McClatchy stock has lost almost all its value to investors,” Poynter noted. Even so, in 2017, CEO Craig Forman took home $2.4 million in salary, stock awards and a $900,000 bonus, the Miami New Times reported. According to the CJR, his newest contract has a $1 million base salary, a $1 million bonus and a $35,000-a-month housing stipend. Segal says the housing stipend is

simply a way to capture all of Forman’s expenses, including “necessary expenses for safety and security prompted by threats we are not at liberty to discuss.” She also says he’s frozen his base salary, and that “Craig’s actual compensation remains lower than his other peer media CEOs at Gannett and Tribune. In fact, Gannett’s CEO, who just announced a layoff of 200 people, receives [three times more] total compensation than Craig.” Gannett actually laid off 400 people, according to New York magazine. (Worth noting: Its CEO will retire this year.) And it just fended off a hostile takeover from the hedge fund Alden Global Capital, which Washington Post media columnist Margaret Sullivan called “one of the most ruthless of the corporate stripminers seemingly intent on destroying local journalism” after it eviscerated the Denver Post. This isn’t just a McClatchy problem. It’s an industry problem. January 2019 was terrifying for my profession. The big digital players – Buzzfeed, Vice, HuffPo – all slashed their staffs. Alt-weeklies like this one haven’t been immune: Former titans like the Village Voice, the Boston Phoenix, the San Francisco Bay Guardian and my alma mater Philadelphia City Paper have closed. While these papers don’t have shareholders breathing down their necks – and many of them have owners who believe they’re doing a public service rather than chasing a buck – they’re still grappling with smaller newsrooms. The exceptions to the rule are the New York Times and Washington Post, where a rising national subscription base driven by the Trump freak show has made up for declining print advertising. But local journalism is in crisis. Jane Elizabeth is right: The model is broken. Yes, there are rapacious, shortsighted corporations to blame. And yes, the industry was too comfortable in the fat profit margins of yore and too slow to adapt to changes in information consumption. But there’s also a fundamental problem: We’ve tried to supplement declining orlandoweekly.com

●

print advertising with increased digital advertising and, for many dailies, paywalls. But Google and Facebook have scooped up almost all of the digital revenue – 58 percent between just those two companies in 2017 – and people became acclimated to getting their internet content for free. And because the remaining digital ad revenue is dependent on page views, media chains are cheapening their own products, churning out loads of aggregation to hit click quotas. Larger dailies still have excellent investigative and statewide desks that do big projects and win awards. And there are still good reporters working beats. But there’s usually not enough of them to go deeper than just reporting what happened at the city council meeting – to put those facts into context. And when journalism fails to get beyond this superficial level – or, worse, when local newspapers close, as has happened nearly 300 times in the last three years – corruption flourishes. In fact, researchers have found that, in areas where newspapers closed, municipal bond costs soared, an indication that the powerful take advantage when no one’s holding them to account. Stories are being missed, and we don’t even know what stories we’re missing. The fewer reporters we have, the more stories we’ll miss, and the more democracy will suffer for it. No matter how smart and diligent the reporters, that’s an inescapable reality. “Our analysis,” one of those researchers, Chang Lee of the University of Illinois at Chicago, told CityLab last year, “suggests that newspaper companies, or the information they provide, is a public good and it’s worth providing. But if we don’t finance it, no one will produce it.” I’d like to be as optimistic as Elizabeth – people want journalism, so journalism will persist. But Lee’s right: Someone has to pay for it to make it sustainable. Right now, journalism has a problem. And journalism’s problem is democracy’s problem. feedback@orlandoweekly.com

e can’t afford to buy conversation hearts for the whole city, but every Valentine’s Day we like to devote some space to singing the praises of our current local crushes. People We Love is all about giving recognition to those Orlandoans (and Winter Parkers, Sanfordistas, etc.) who make the city worth living in, but don’t necessarily get a lot of shout-outs. Our current baes are known for wrangling reptiles, dropping knowledge and providing spaces for others to express their creativity, among other things. Each one is dedicated to the community in some way or another, contributing to the social tapestry that makes Orlando what it is. We’ve picked a pretty good crop this year, so after you’re done getting introduced via our little love letters, make sure to seek them out to get some firsthand experience in whatever they do. We think you’ll be impressed.

For demolishing assumptions about blondes, gators and Orlando

SAVANNAH BOAN

RADIO STAR AND WILDLIFE EDUCATOR

hough Savannah Boan is not an Orlando native, she is a uniquely Central Florida phenomenon. The 6-foot platinum blonde has one of the most recognizable voices in Orlando and a knack for self-reinvention up there with David Bowie. But her latest incarnation as an ambassador for Gatorland is her most rewarding and personal mission yet. Boan moved to Orlando after a fouryear stint in the Marines as an air traffic controller and soon enough landed a spot on Real Radio’s “Monsters in the Morning.” “One of my most favorite things about Orlando was from the time I hit the ground here, people were so welcoming,” she says. “It was almost like coming home.” This was at the height of talk radio’s popularity, and the Monsters were a local equivalent to Howard Stern. Boan, dubbed “the Sexy Savannah,” was anything but mere ear candy, going toe-to-toe with

her co-hosts in epic verbal beatdowns made all the more memorable by her thick Southern drawl. Eventually it was time for a change. Boan left Orlando for California, working in a reptile zoo at one point and realizing that she’d found her true calling. She returned to Orlando and secured a dream job at old-Florida tourist stalwart Gatorland (and also returning to the WTKS airwaves). In her role as Gatorland’s International Ambassador, Boan runs and stars in the park’s various social media outlets – their YouTube channel is particularly eye-popping. Boan is not at all afraid to get up close and personal with the park’s feature attractions; she is the only woman in the park who handles the big gators, and her infection and enthusiasm for these reptiles is beyond infectious. “Every day I work in the most magical place in the word,” she enthuses. “I’m so excited when orlandoweekly.com

I wake up in the morning!” Besides doing a heroic amount of local outreach and helping develop a conservation arm for the park, she’s taking her mission to all sorts of unlikely places. Last year she journeyed to Cuba to share ideas and supplies with crocodile experts there as part of a continuing partnership. Then she took a trip to the Crocodile Specialist Group in Belize. There is serious talk for a journey to India to work with the Madras Crocodile Bank. Closer to home, at the end of 2018, she took the nerve-wracking plunge and presented a TED Talk at TEDxOrlando (find it on YouTube, naturally). Her enthusiasm and energy are seemingly boundless. And Boan credits the love and support she gets from the city at large as a large part of all of this. “I’ve lived so many crazy lives!” she laughs. “I never would have pictured all of this for myself. But I’m so happy for it!”

For giving Orlando punks a place to do it themselves

LOU BROWN MANAGER OF UNCLE LOU’S ENTERTAINMENT HALL

ou could consider Uncle Lou’s Entertainment Hall as Orlando’s CBGB – though that’s too drenched in nostalgia for a venue that operates very much in the continuous now – but, like the New York bar did for its neighborhood, Lou’s has served as a crucial incubator for the Central Florida underground for the last 14 years. The frills are few and far between in the stripped-down space, though the drinks are cheap, the PA is loud, and the mural of Etta James on the wall is always a welcome sight. But it’s the good-natured “anything goes” spirit that really defines Uncle Lou’s. Lou “Uncle Lou” Brown, the manager and face of the establishment, moved to Florida from Jamaica 33 years ago, first working in agriculture in Belle Glade before moving to Orlando. Uncle Lou’s Entertainment Hall opened 14 years ago in the heart of the Mills 50 strip, after a year on Michigan Avenue. Brown still remembers the day that some young

punks (naturally, Total Punk’s Rich Evans and company) asked if they could play a show at his bar, to which he readily agreed: “I wanted to provide a place for people to do positive things.” With a smile he recalls that the music and the volume that fateful night shocked him: “It was the most terrible thing I ever heard! I thought, what have I got myself into?” Word spread quickly that this was an ideal place for bands on a razor-thin DIY budget, and it was off to the races with a packed booking calendar that remains so to this day. Brown has warmed to the varied music (from metal to hardcore to experimental to hip-hop) that blasts out of the doors of his venue nightly, expressing a particular fondness for punk rock, especially locals the Golden Pelicans and Wet Nurse. Brown speaks fondly of the music community that has embraced him, and that he in turn has generously fostered. “Music is love,” he says, wryly adding, “The Orlando music scene knows how orlandoweekly.com

to have a good time.” He talks about neighbor Will Walker of Will’s Pub with a particular gratitude for “always being there when I need him,” and calls longtime scene fixture Nadeem Khan his best friend. Khan is quick to return the favor, enthusing, “Uncle Lou is a treasure of a man, a sober gent that’s given something to us I thought I’d never see again.” As the Mills 50 strip changes around him, Brown responds by not changing a damn thing. He never charges bands to run shows there and he isn’t bothered with prettying the place up; he’s more focused on giving bands a chance, providing a safe environment and keeping the music coming. He says he’d like to stay here as long as he can – “Hopefully Will’s and Uncle Lou’s will always be here” – with the underlying hope that he’s “providing a place for people to do good.” And there are precious few in this city who can bring people of all persuasions together the way Uncle Lou can.

WILNA DESTIN

UNION ORGANIZER 16

ORLANDO WEEKLY ● FEB. 13-19, 2019

n 2021, a housekeeper working at Walt Disney World Resort will make $17 an hour – and that means everything to Wilna Destin. It’s nearly double the amount Destin, 44, earned when she started as a housekeeper at Disney in 2012, and it’s been made possible through her work as an organizer with the six Orlando labor unions that reached a historic agreement with Disney to raise starting pay from $10 to $15 within three years. “Those $15 seemed impossible,” the Unite Here Local 737 organizer says. “But at the end of the day, with a lot of positivity, we did it.” The drive to fight for opportunity started in 2000 when insecurity pushed Destin to flee Haiti in a boat to Miami. Once in Central Florida, she worked as an undocumented immigrant, cleaning people’s houses for

orlandoweekly.com

little pay and often facing abuse from her employers. Her life changed when she applied for Temporary Protected Status (TPS), a humanitarian program that allows immigrants facing armed conflict or natural disasters to live and work in the U.S. Haitians received TPS designations after their island was devastated by a 2010 earthquake. With TPS, Destin was able to get a driver’s license and apply for a union job with health care benefits at Disney. “Getting TPS was huge for me,” she says. “It was like a freedom for my life.” After joining the union, she helped organize Disney housekeepers to get their first raise in 2014 to $9.50. When Local 737 president Jeremy Haicken told Destin and other union organizers that they would next fight for a $15 living wage, they thought it

was crazy, she says. Florida’s hourly minimum wage has never been higher than $8.50. But Destin and other organizers knocked on dozens of doors to speak to Disney employees who could barely afford housing, organized petition drives and staged protests in front of tourists. Their persistence finally paid off last year after months of negotiations with the theme park. Destin is in the second fight of her life now against the Trump administration. She and her 15-year-old U.S.-born daughter are plaintiffs in a lawsuit suing the federal government for abruptly terminating the TPS program for Haitians and setting a July 2019 deadline for them to leave. “We are hard-working people,” she says. “We are America. This is what America looks like. We all come for freedom. We all come for opportunity. All we have to do is keep fighting.”

GINA DUNCAN

TRANS RIGHTS ADVOCATE 18

ORLANDO WEEKLY ● FEB. 13-19, 2019

●

t’s hard to track Gina Duncan down. The director of transgender equality for Equality Florida, the state’s leading LGBTQ civil rights organization, is busy wearing many different hats. She teaches trans cultural competency training to small workplaces and major corporations. She chairs TransAction Florida, a 27-member advisory board from all over the state that advocates for trans rights and protections through public policy. And some days, Duncan goes to Tallahassee to remind state lawmakers that she and other trans people deserve respect – not simply acceptance. “I don’t want you to accept me,” she says. “I want you to treat me equally as you feel about yourself. And asking for acceptance kind of speaks to that person having power over you, like

orlandoweekly.com

saying, ‘I will accept you or I won’t.’ Well, too bad. Either way, I’m going to be me, you be you, and if we respect each other’s identities and our hearts, then that’s good.” The 63-year-old Orlando resident has concentrated on building a solid support structure for Florida’s trans community, the kind that didn’t exist when she started transitioning in 2006. Before, Duncan was known as the captain of an undefeated Merritt Island High School football team, homecoming king and student government vice president at East Carolina University. The life she had was “common Americana,” she says, with a beautiful wife, two kids and a regional manager position at Wells Fargo. That changed after she came out – her support came mostly from close family members and her employer, though some days were tough. After

she was profiled by the Orlando Sentinel, Duncan got a call from the local steering committee of the Human Rights Campaign because they needed more visible transgender voices in town. The connection launched Duncan on a path of advocacy and activism. She’s been president of Orlando’s LGBT chamber of commerce, the Metropolitan Business Association, done a TED talk and even ran for Orange County Commission in 2012. After a gunman killed 49 people at the gay nightclub Pulse in 2016, she comforted the community and helped expand Equality Florida’s advocacy to include gun reforms. “The most gratifying thing is feeling like you’re moving the needle at least a little bit,” she says. “My goal is if I can open a heart and a mind a day, then I’ve done my job.”

JENN HARTON

BARTENDER, LIL INDIES

enn Harton never wanted to be a craft cocktail bartender. “I was honestly terrified … I didn’t want to bartend on the Lil Indies side because it was so scary,” she says. “I wanted to work at Will’s and do, like, Jack & Coke, vodka soda, rum and Diet, things like that.” But fellow bartenders Lianne Hayre and Kaitlin MacGavock taught her how to get over that fear. “Lianne is the reason that I got over being scared and got into making cocktails.” Since discovering her talent for mixing classic and brand-new cocktail recipes, Harton has become one of the city’s most popular bartenders, winning the vaunted Best

Bartender category in Orlando Weekly’s Best of Orlando poll for the past three years in a row. But not everything she makes is popular. “My favorite [cocktail] that I’ve ever come up with was honestly one of the lowestselling drinks,” she admits about her favorite creation so far, the Wild Hunt. “I did a butter-washed scotch with sweet potato juice and maple and cherry simple [syrup]. … It was a great cocktail!” Lil Indies also has a reputation for creative cocktail names, and Harton’s favorites have been based on professional wrestling moves. “The Montreal Screwjob was a really fun one,” she says. “Hurricanrana, which is a sig-

nature luchador move.” Harton’s bartending résumé goes back to working under the original owners of Maitland’s Copper Rocket, so she’s seen plenty of change in the area’s bar scene. “Honestly, Will’s getting liquor was huge for the area,” she says about the Mills 50 district. But part of the area’s success she credits to having good neighbors. “Guesthouse opening up has been awesome for Mills, because having an anchor like us and then an anchor like Guesthouse that has very different demographics, there’s much more foot traffic and barhopping going on,” she says. “I think it fosters community.”

JOSHUA MARTIN

FILM PROGRAMMER

nown mostly for the long-running Uncomfortable Brunch monthly film series at Will’s Pub, Joshua Martin also helps program the More Q Than A series at the former Gallery at Avalon Island, as well as themed marathons at the Milk District’s Nook on Robinson. His involvement in curating movies even extends to selections committees for the Florida Film Festival and Slamdance. But Uncomfortable Brunch developed accidentally, in Martin’s own living room, starting off with just he and his roommate watching Nagisa Oshima’s In the Realm of the Senses while

eating blueberry pancakes and drinking mimosas. The pairing of arthouse cinema with a pleasant social activity struck a chord with Martin, and the monthly gatherings eventually moved to Will’s Pub. “I thought it was an idea that would just die. Like movie nerds would think it’s funny for a few months.” But Uncomfortable Brunch is still going strong in its fifth year. Martin is quick to credit a lot of that longevity to the perspective of his partner in Uncomfortable Brunch. “It was a huge benefit when Kat Whitacre came on board a few years ago, because while our sensibilities are similar, they are very different

in some respects. There’ve been times when we’ve shown stuff that I flat-out didn’t want to show,” says Martin. “But she said ‘No, this is a movie that fits what we’re doing and people are going to be into it.’ And then it’s standing room only.” In an entertainment landscape with seemingly endless options for viewing formerly hard-to-find films from the comfort of a living room, Martin is “still a big proponent of watching movies together in a room,” he says. “It’s hard to articulate, but there’s just an energy in the room that’s different when you watch with other people, especially strangers.”

ORLANDO WEEKLY ● FEB. 13-19, 2019

●

n November, Desmond Meade led a movement that persuaded Floridians to vote in favor of enfranchising the largest number of people since the women’s suffrage movement and the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965. Three months later, the role he played in getting the right to vote back for about 1.5 million formerly convicted felons still hasn’t quite sunk in. “It was an honor and privilege for me to be able to be involved in such a historic win with Amendment 4,” he says. Meade, 51, is the president of the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition – one of several groups that targeted a draconian state law with racist roots in the Jim Crow era that barred people who’ve completed their felony sentences from voting. Meade’s

work began one day in August 2005 when he stood in front of railroad tracks in South Florida, ready to hurl himself in front of the next oncoming train. He was homeless, addicted to drugs and recently released from prison after serving time for a felony conviction. “I didn’t have any hope or self-esteem,” he says. “The train didn’t come that day, so I crossed those tracks and checked myself into drug treatment.” After completing his treatment, he went back to school, eventually getting his law degree from Florida International University. But he couldn’t apply to the Florida Bar until his rights had been restored, or even vote for his wife, Sheena Meade, when she ran for the Florida House.

Determined to help others, Meade knocked on doors, collected petitions and became one of the driving forces behind putting Amendment 4 on the ballot. On Nov. 6, the amendment won close to 65 percent of the electorate with about 5.1 million votes – more than any candidate on the ballot. On Jan. 8, Meade’s teenage daughter Xcellence helped him fill out his voter registration form at the Orange County Supervisor of Elections office among cheers as other returning citizens also registered to vote. “People in Florida and the rest of the country got to witness love winning the day for once in this election,” he says. “And that’s something that I will hold onto for the rest of my life.”

For keeping history alive, even when surrounded by the dead

DON PRICE

LOCAL HISTORIAN

hat can be said about the wild and wonderful Don Price that hasn’t already been? He’s a locally famed Orlando orator and storyteller who spent 31 years working in the city’s records department, where he picked up tidbits of indispensible community history. He’s the type of guy who, if you sat down together to share a story and a 12-pack of beer, the beer would be gone before the story had ever ended. He’s a dumpster diver – well, we can confirm he was at least once, when he scavenged a long-lost documentary about pre-Civil Rights era Parramore from the bottom of a dumpster at City Hall. Titled “Orlando, the City Beautiful” and dated 8/8/1962, the short film revolves around the Parramore neighborhood at a time when amenities like indoor plumbing were scarce in homes throughout the traditionally African American community. He’s since digitized the

film and hosted at least one screening. But that’s just who Price is – an affable, heavily tattooed redneck of the highest order, as moderately flamboyant as he is endlessly curious about the world around us, especially as it relates to the City Beautiful. If you’ve heard of him, it’s likely due to his time as sexton at Greenwood Cemetery, where he worked for 15 years prior to his retirement in October. A Winter Garden resident who grew up in West Orange County, it was through that job at Greenwood – a job that would become equally a passion project – that Price developed a reputation for keeping local history alive and well. Even in retirement, he continues to lead his mega-popular nighttime tours of Greenwood that began in 2004. On these walking and talking tours, he points out facts pertaining to everything from Lake Eola’s original Sperry Fountain to the closely quartered graves of Dr. orlandoweekly.com

John McEwan and his mechanic – McEwan didn’t trust newly invented cars in the early 1900s, so he brought his mechanic everywhere. As a symbol of their friendship, or more, they were buried next to each other. “People die twice,” Price says during one of the cemetery tours. The first time, he says, is when you take your last breath. The second is when your name’s forgotten. “In Orlando, we like to tear our history down,” Price says. “It doesn’t bother anybody. Go to Savannah and try to tear something down. Go to Charleston and try to tear something down. It won’t happen.” Price shakes his head in disapproval and adds, “But in Orlando it’s easy because no one’s from here.” That’s why Price is a crucial local figure. If he has anything to do with it, when it comes to the candid history behind the City Beautiful, it won’t be forgotten anytime soon.

RYAN RIVAS

BOOK PUBLISHER AND LITERARY COMMUNITY BUILDER

he image of a city, in the minds of people who’ve never been there, is formed by writing about that city – whether it’s fiction, film script or news reporting. In Orlando’s case, that means a whole lot of people in the world think our city is a tropical paradise peopled by Disney princesses, toothy reptiles and an army of Florida Men. Ryan Rivas, the publisher of Orlando-based literary imprint Burrow Press, grapples daily with the question of what “Florida literature” is. “There’s an assumption that focusing solely on Florida would limit the audience. Of course, the nation has a morbid curiosity about Florida. I see this as an opportunity to subvert that gaze,” Rivas says. “Just like Orlando is misunderstood as a theme park city, I think the phrase ‘Florida literature’ makes people think of Carl Hiaasen and his brand of wacky crime novels. But Florida lends itself to truthful interpretation through many genre lenses – not just realism set in a Florida city, which can be wonderful,

but fabulism, absurdism, sci-fi/speculative, horror, noir,” Rivas says. Readers can find writing that embraces Florida in those genres by Karen Russell, Lauren Groff, Laura Van Den Berg, Vanessa Blakeslee, James M. Cain, Padgett Powell, Jeff VanderMeer, Lindsay Hunter, Teege Braune, Alisa Nutting, Kristen Arnett and more – nary a murder-by-stuffed-marlin among them. Book by book, in novels, story collections and anthologies (including many of the above authors), Burrow Press is helping build that multifaceted image of Florida. From early releases like the various volumes of 15 Views of Orlando and 15 Views of Miami to We Can’t Help It if We’re From Florida, Rivas says, BP has made an effort “to blur the line between local and national by featuring writers who grew up in Florida but have gone on to do great things in the national literary world.” A natural extension of this has been to organize readings and events that contribute to or even strengthen the literary scene. Rivas works with host/MC Jared orlandoweekly.com

Silvia to put on Functionally Literate, which matches local writers with national authors in loosely linked subject matter, and Loose Lips, in which a different host each month invites writers to share new work inspired by the last 30 days of news. “Lately I’ve been thinking about a more abstract, lower-case-F ‘florida literature’ that isn’t place-based but nonetheless expresses the textures and tensions we associate with Florida experiences,” Rivas says. “Stark contrasts like gritty/glossy, natural/manmade, rich/ poor; hidden or erased histories; actual displacement and/or emotional estrangement as a result of tourism.” Despite being so attuned to the displacements and estrangements endemic to this city of immigrants and transplants, Rivas wouldn’t change much. “In 10 years I’d love to see just as many art and literary spaces as there are craft breweries and coffee shops, though I’d settle for affordable housing and public transit,” he says. “I don’t have a desire to change the city. Just to keep doing what I’m doing.”

BLUE STAR

DANCER, CHOREOGRAPHER AND LGBTQ ADVOCATE 30

lue Star may be known as “Orlando’s Mother of Burlesque,” but if you ask her, she’ll let you in on a little secret: “I always thought of myself as a drag queen, not a burlesque dancer,” she confesses. “I’m not traditionally burlesque, I just do my own thing. But what a beautiful world it is, and what a beautiful community we’ve built here.” Community is the keystone of Blue’s journey in Orlando, which has seen her evolve from a club-culture iconoclast into an LGBTQ advocate on a national stage. Her story started in Marietta, Georgia, where she was born with a hip deformity. “I started dancing because I was born completely turned in,” Blue says. A doctor suggested dance to correct the condition, a free YMCA dance lesson led her to begin professional ballet training at 13, and she was a principal dancer in Atlanta by age 19. At 26 she moved to New York City “to get lost among 7 million people,” where she studied contemporary dance with Mia

Michaels and learned to DJ by watching Danny Tenaglia spin. After a chance conversation with a roommate’s friend, she came here to attend Full Sail for audio engineering and almost immediately discovered Orlando’s LGBTQ club scene. “I moved here on a Tuesday, went to Southern Nights on a Friday, [and] I started the next day.” Blue was quickly upgraded from go-go dancer to MC, eventually overseeing a schedule of still-running evenings like Lesbo-a-Go-Go and Dirty Bingo and establishing her popular performance troupes, the Ladies of Peek-a-boo Lounge and VarieTease. “I was going to be here a year and a half, and it’s 19 years in July,” she recalls. “There was room for growth, and I saw the opportunity to be at the forefront, rather than a little fish in a big pond.” Blue’s evolution from artist to activist began with her participation in the Hope & Help Center’s annual Headdress Ball and the SMART Ride for AIDS, and kicked into high gear once she co-founded the Barber Fund for cancer patients with the

late John “Tweeka Weed” Barber. But it was the work she did in the wake of the 2016 Pulse Nightclub massacre that drew nationwide attention and cemented Blue’s place in Orlando’s hearts. “We just did what we were called to do,” she says about her role as an organizing anchor after the tragedy. “You just react the best way that you know how, and I think for me a coping mechanism is to get to work.” Blue’s philanthropy has been recognized with the 2018 Harvey Milk Diversity LGBT Trailblazer Award from the Center Orlando, and inclusion in Orlando Magazine’s 2018 “Women of the Year” list, among other honors. But even these accolades may not keep a roof over her head. The Venue, Blue’s Ivanhoe Village theater, will be bulldozed this fall and she’s actively searching for a new home. “The positivity coming from the community is just wonderful,”she says. “We’ve had some really great suggestions and I still have a lot of plates in the air.” For all of Orlando’s sake, we hope Blue Star keeps them spinning.

RICE TO THE OCCASION Every day’s the big day at this I-Drive biryani joint BY FAIYAZ KARA

hat there’s a chain of restaurants devoted to biryani says something about the heady, perfumed, intensely spiced Indian rice dish so commonly served on special occasions. Having easy access to it courtesy of Bawarchi Biryanis by no means lessens its status at Indian functions, get-togethers and soirées. In fact, an Indian wedding without biryani would be like, oh … Top Chef without Padma Lakshmi; Jawaharlal Nehru without the jacket; Dinesh D’Souza without the Trump pardon. At Bawarchi, wedding food can be had every day of the week, and damn if I didn’t say “I do!” to a number of dishes. Even before digging into heaping bowls of rice – awkward, somewhat impractically shaped bowls, I might add – there were fried indulgences to be had: gobi Manchurian ($9.99) with its deep-fried florets of cracklin’ cauli shellacked in a fiery batter; and tongue-blasting chili pepper corn ($9.99) which, shockingly, isn’t badged with a spicy icon on the menu. I mean, it’s called “CHILI PEPPER CORN” and the batter is downright satanic! Pop after pop of the baby corn fritters into our panicked yaps was an exercise in masochism (and sweat-mopping). When the time came for biryani we, naturally, opted for the “temper goat biryani”

($15.99), and it was every bit as flaring as its two spicy badges implied. The “temper” in this case refers to a cooking style where the spices are cooked in oil or ghee before being mixed with the rice. The resulting fragrance is as alluring as the yellow-tinged biryani itself, bony cuts of goat and all. The Vijayawada special chicken biryani ($14.99), named after the biryani-crazed city in Andhra Pradesh, is a one-badger with boneless chicken and hard-boiled egg. The menu doesn’t get into ingredient specifics as far as seasonings are concerned, so best to ask if you’re curious. You’ll find they incorporate everything from cardamom, cloves, anise seeds, fenugreek seeds, cumin seeds, peppercorns, cinnamon, garam masala (itself a combination of spices) and much more. One thing the biryanis all have in common: They’re prepared using the dum method – rice and meats are layered into a covered heavybottomed vessel with a ring of dough sealing the lid to the ves-

restaurant specializing in dishes of the American Sunbelt (that is, dishes from the southern parts of the United States from California to Florida) has opened in a former hoosegow on South Palmetto Avenue in Sanford … Karim El Sherif, former general manager and wine director at Restaurant Daniel in New York, has opened Lotus Asia House at Pointe Orlando. The pan-Asian resto will offer a menu of Chinese, Thai, Japanese and Vietnamese-inspired dishes. A grand opening is slated for Feb. 21. … Casa Tapas Wine Culture has opened next to Brooklyn Water Bagels on Goldenrod Road near University Boulevard … The Mexican Camel, a quick-service Mexican/ Mediterranean fusion restaurant, has opened in the International Shoppes plaza on the corner of Kirkman Road and I-Drive … Down the road near the old Wet ’N Wild, Middle Eastern joint Zaman Cuisine is open for business … Over in Dr. Phillips, OK, but First Coffee has opened next to Steak on Fire in the Fountains at Bay Hill Plaza. In addition to coffee, breakfast and Brazilian pastries are offered … Mac’d Out, a create-your-own mac & cheese stand, has opened inside the Suncreek Brewery in Clermont.

sel. It’s a marriage made in kitchenware heaven – slow-steaming the rice and meats together in this manner separates the rice grains nicely, so you won’t find any wet, clumpy bits. For the rice-and-curry traditionalist, there’s a karaikudi veg curry ($10.99) that’s done in the Chettinad style, meaning numerous ingredients (sometimes as many as 30) go into making the thick gravy, the most noticeable of which are curry leaves. There are a lot of them in Bawarchi’s rendition, and the bouquet is indescribable. I could say it’s like carnations set on fire, then doused in a bath of mustard, but I’d be doing the aroma an injustice. From the tandoor, shreds of praiseworthy butter naan ($2.49) and garlic naan ($2.99) were enjoyed with a mixed grill that wasn’t much of a mix. All the cuts were chicken – tikka, tandoori, malai (creamy garlic) and achar (pickle marinade) – though most, with the exception of a couple of malai morsels, were lush and tender. A spot of chai ($2.99) and an order of gulab jamun ($3.49) makes a picture-perfect ending for the Instagram set. As I carried two bags of leftovers across the restaurant’s threshold, I made a vow and a commitment to return – for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health.

FALLEN ANGEL

Sci-fi action flick is beautiful, but dumb BY CAMERON MEIE R

n 1844, Samuel Morse transmitted his famous telegraph: “What hath God wrought?” Quoting from the Book of Numbers, he predicted the profound influence of his accomplishment. Similar technological revelations are depicted in cinema, perhaps none as memorable as Colin Clive’s manic cry from the 1931 Frankenstein: “It’s alive!” Fast-forward 88 years to writer-producer James Cameron and writer-director Robert Rodriguez, who have taken the creepy but irresistible art of human creation – via performancecapture technology – to a different level in Alita: Battle Angel. Yet Cameron and Rodriguez’s achievement is more akin to Marty Feldman’s “Abby Normal” brain from Young Frankenstein than anything Morse or Mary Shelley attained. The new sci-fi action film introduces movie audiences to a world and a character that fans of Yukito Kishiro’s graphic novels have long cherished: post-apocalyptic Iron City and the eponymous Alita. It’s the year 2563, three centuries after “the fall,” and Alita (a “total replacement cyborg”) is brought back to life by Dr. Dyson Ido (Christoph Waltz), who is still reeling from the death of his own human daughter. In this violent world, everyone

is obsessed either with playing a rollerderby rip-off called “motorball” or – in a blatantly spiritual reference – ascending to the “great sky city.” Amid this chaos, Alita, Dyson, Dyson’s ex-wife (Jennifer Connelly) and Alita’s requisite love interest (Keean Johnson) must discover their true selves while, predictably, battling a villain (Mahershala Ali) who isn’t really the villain. One of the many elements this cyberpunk adventure hurls at the screen with little explanation or import is a bar called Kansas. Popular among the “hunter-warriors,” the hangout holds meaning for fans of Kishiro’s manga but will be lost on everyone else. To add context, I almost expected Cameron to regurgitate “You’re not in Kansas anymore” from The Wizard of Oz, as he did to cringeworthy effect in Avatar. Well, guys, I’m actually from Kansas, and while your film has a lot of courage and some heart, it’s sans a brain. Ironically, the most human character is the one who is not: Alita. And that’s thanks to both the eye-popping science and the endearing performance of Rosa Salazar, whose every facial movement is magically, photographically ensnared. (Still, I was more impressed with the

resurrection of Peter Cushing and Carrie Fisher in Rogue One, which has far greater cinematic and societal implications.) The other performances are mediocre, even wooden. It’s not that Waltz, Ali and Connelly are particularly miscast, but they have all done finer work more suited to their talents and sensibilities. And speaking of sensibility, that’s the film’s downfall, as Rodriguez lacks artistic discernment. (His string of entertaining but low-brow films, from Sin City to Planet Terror, illustrates that.) He does deserve credit, though, for what he admits is a stylistic and thematic departure for him, but, frankly, Cameron should have helmed this himself. Nevertheless, Alita will find its audience. It’s too early to tell whether crowds will be enthusiastic enough to support multiple sequels, which are clearly what Cameron has in mind. But standing alone, this first installment is too underdeveloped, derivative and poorly scripted for adults, and too violent and adult-oriented for children. It’s a waste of technology. “Does it bother you that I’m not completely human?” Alita asks. No, what bothers me is the rest of the film.

Happy Death Day 2U PHOTO COURTESY OF UNIVERSAL PICTURES

BY ST EVE SCHN EID ER

OPENING THIS WEEK: Happy Death Day 2U Here’s a heartwarming story to start your Valentine’s Day off right. The sequel to 2017’s Happy Death Day was originally scheduled to open on the holiday itself, to give all the adorably morbid couples out there a chance to celebrate their love by watching college kids get slaughtered over and over again. But then somebody noticed that Valentine’s Day 2019 is also the one-year anniversary of the Parkland shooting – that somebody being Fred Guttenberg, father of one of the slain students. And he suggested that opening a film called Happy Death Day 2U on that anniversary was, shall we say, in questionable taste. (This was during those innocent times of one month ago, when tonedeaf motion picture studios were the worst Guttenberg had to worry about, because he hadn’t yet met Matt Gaetz.) So guess what Universal Pictures did? They graciously volunteered to move up the release of the movie by a whole 24 hours to Feb. 13. Plus, they agreed to not screen or market the movie in the Parkland area. Which I’m sure will come as a great relief to that community, especially if it has no access to the internet or national TV ad buys. Guttenberg, God bless him, was highly satisfied with the olive branch the studio had offered, calling it “a great outcome.” Which only reinforces my understanding that some people are simply better than me. I’d probably find it a little harder to get over Universal’s subsequent statement that they had been unaware of the anniversary until it was pointed out to them by the bereaved. Hey, they can’t

keep track of every horrific mass homicide that affects America’s families, can they? They’ve got their hands full trying to figure out how to completely fuck up the Universal Studios monsters. (PG-13) Isn’t It Romantic Rebel Wilson plays a woman who gets hit on the head and finds herself living in a world that’s straight out of a hackneyed romantic comedy. Wow, a whole movie about College Park? (PG-13)

ALSO PLAYING: Peppa Pig Celebrates Chinese New Year The nation of China is gaga for England’s most famous swine. (OK, second most famous. After Piers Morgan.) So the Peppa creative team packaged up a bunch of her already-seen TV episodes and wedded them to newly-created segments themed to 2019’s Year of the Pig. The serendipity is so perfect I’m not even going to make that joke about pork fried rice. (NR; in Mandarin with English subtitles; playing at Regal Waterford Lakes Stadium 20 & IMAX) Piercing This sicko psychodrama is based on the book by Ryu Murakami, in which a disturbed man has to decide between stabbing his infant child to death with an ice pick and hacking up a hooker. Seems like an easy choice to me: You save the one who’s going to eat you out, not the one who’s going to eat you out of house and home. Happy Valentine’s Day, everybody!

MEMORIES OF TOMORROW

Synth-pop sensation John Maus brings the future to the present BY TYLER BARNEY

f you want a vision of the future of music, imagine a man pounding a clenched fist against his own head – forever. He’s wearing a button-down shirt drenched in sweat. Occasionally he screams at the top of his lungs. His name is John Maus, and his idea of the future is bleak but believable “People will stop making music,” he predicts. “Barring some sort of disaster, the likely course that impulse will take” is the development of technology that “spontaneously generates music,” with devices “trained to dream up a sonic stimulus to achieve an effect in the listener in real time.” Following a brief pause, he adds, “Or people might just get bored.” Despite his seemingly cynical take on technology, Maus has slowly warmed up to the endless possibilities of automated music composition. “Music is doing really strange things, in terms of where it’s coming from,”

he notes. “The technology opens up all sorts of new avenues.” While it’s getting easier to “make” music, he wonders if a process based on algorithms compromises the spirit of the art. “Prudence is correct doing,” he says, but “art is correct making.” And when it comes to making art, Maus knows what he’s doing. For the better part of two decades, he’s crafted a brand of synth-pop that stands out from his contemporaries – and for good reason. As a dedicated scholar of Western classical composers, his influences and sound eclipse those of the ’80s revivalists with whom he is often compared. But this distinction hasn’t always worked in his favor. After breaking into the lo-fi pop scene as a collaborator and bandmate of Ariel Pink in the early 2000s, Maus released two solo albums (Songs in 2006 and Love Is Real in 2007) that for some reason received gener-

Andrea Bocelli

ally negative reviews. Only after his third full-length, We Must Become the Pitiless Censors of Ourselves, did his reverb-heavy sound resonate with audiences. Named after one of the “Fifteen Theses on Contemporary Art” outlined by French philosopher Alain Badiou, the 2011 album marked a turning point in Maus’ musical career. Its widespread acclaim prompted critics to revisit his previous albums, which through some sort of magic sounded much better the second time around. One year after the release of Pitiless Censors, the demand for more Maus was satisfied with A Collection of Rarities and Previously Unreleased Material. Shortly after the compilation’s release, the Minnesotan maestro disappeared from the public eye. Rumors surrounding his departure from the spotlight circulated in his absence, but for the most part his whereabouts remained enshrouded in radio silence. Then, in 2016, he briefly reappeared with an electrifying performance of “Hey Moon” (his faithful rendition of the Molly Nilsson song) on the Adult Swim show Million Dollar Extreme, only to return to the shadows immediately afterward. In 2017, Maus ended his hiatus with a bang. He emerged with a Ph.D. in political philosophy and two full albums of new music, which he wrote and recorded on a modular synthesizer that he built from scratch during an extended pilgrimage to his hometown of Austin, Minnesota. Yet, he still claims he didn’t achieve what he wanted: “I bit off more than I could chew. Building my own instruments was a fool’s errand.” While manually constructing his own synthesizers may not have provided the desired result, Maus claims, “It was rewarding as an exercise.” Listening to the fruits of his labor – the 2017 comeback album Screen Memories and its 2018 accompaniment Addendum – proves that time has only sharpened his musical focus. Meanwhile, his approach to writing lyrics has remained the same. “I don’t really have lyrics,” he says. “On a lot of songs I’m just repeating the same slogan over and over. Generally it’s just a question of something that fills the space, something that doesn’t get in the way of the song. It’s just words.”

BY B AO L E - H U U SOUL GLO | PHOTO BY JEN CRAY

Before you go get dat Valentine’s

ass, see how a punk band elevated, a goth legend bailed mid-show and a DJ saved my life.

SOUL GLO, UNCLE LOU’S, FEB. 6

Despite the lighthearted Eddie Murphy allusion of their moniker, Philadelphia’s Soul Glo are to be taken with absolute gravity. Although it’s confounding that it’s still this hot a topic in 2019, America is once again in the painful reckonings of paradigm shift when it comes to race and culture. It’s why a conscious Afropunk band like this – with their searing, point-blank approach to both music and message – is as on time as it gets. Sonically, they stand apart by merging hardcore, noise and even some borderline jazz. And they do it with musicianship that can be as technical as it is ferocious. The resulting attack hits with skillful legibility even through its full-frontal blitz. Now put the warhead of black truth on top of that vessel and you’ve got one seriousass missile that leverages oppression into agency. And from the bodies and the buzz, the Orlando underground received Soul Glo with at least some of the awareness, excitement and import they deserve.

BAUHAUS 40TH ANNIVERSARY, PLAZA LIVE, FEB. 7

Peter Murphy was scheduled to perform an entire Bauhaus set with original bandmate David J before a packed Orlando crowd for the legendary postpunk band’s 40th anniversary. What was supposed to be a glorious séance, however, ended up an unexpected abortion. The scene was set. A deep herd of lifelong devotees gathered, filling the theater

Soul Glo stand apart by merging hardcore, noise and even some borderline jazz. And they do it with musicianship that can be as technical as it is ferocious with the odd bedfellows of goth wardrobe and middle-aged practicality. The two openers – London’s Desert Mountain Tribe and New Orleans’ Vinsantos – performed their sets in whole. And then David J appeared onstage and took the mic. Rather than kick off the long-anticipated main event, though, he launched into a vague and breaking announcement that Murphy was suddenly stricken with some undisclosed ailment but still hoped that the show might proceed momentarily. J then brought Vinsantos back on stage and proceeded to do a joint extemporaneous rendition of Bauhaus’ “Who Killed Mr. Moonlight.” To buy more time amid the confusion, Vinsantos was left alone to tread water for one more song. After that Hail Mary, a formal announcement was made that the show would have to be postponed. (And you thought goths couldn’t possibly get any more bummed out.) With an entire house in total deflation and disbelief, the scene was like a sea of black disappointment. Later, Murphy’s publicist told me that a “chronic pain issue” that peaked right before stage time is what forced the cancellation. The show, however, has been rescheduled for April 4, so don’t mothball those capes just yet.

TERRIBLY WRONG 2, WILL’S PUB, FEB. 7

Terribly Wrong, the audiovisual series helmed by veteran Orlando DJ Nigel John, is righting the universe a bit by bringing edge and IQ back to electronic and dance music. The names that bookended the recent second edition both happen to be alter egos of two very distinguished Orlando DJs. The cornerstone figure is Kurt Rambus, the dark, industrial-edged face of Nigel John. Although he’s already one of the city’s more progressive and literate DJs, his Rambus guise is a deep conceptual dive that further roots him in the Orlando beat vanguard. His headlining set was a torrent of hardcore breakbeat. Pounding with density, torque and complexity, his sounds forged a bridge between mechanical and funky. It was a vision that pointed drum & bass forward, beyond the box of old jungle orthodoxy. Add in the presentation savvy of video projections shot through multiple layers of screens and you’ve got something far more absorbing than a basic DJ night. The other alternate persona was Old. God, a different look for the smart, leftleaning DJ Cub. His set was threaded with vivid tribal futurism. Intelligent but not strictly cerebral, the pulse was rich in polyrhythmic intellect but still propelled with primal jump and pump. In between, local electronic act Pressurewave performed a spirited live IDM set that straddled synth and house. Together, this second volume establishes Terribly Wrong as a frontier event showcasing dance and electronic sounds on the threshold of now and next. baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

A Cupid’s Tribute to the Red Fox Lounge MUSIC

Once upon a time, instead of a bougie pedestrian mall across from a Trader Joe’s and a Shake Shack, the corner of Morse and 17-92 in Winter Park was home to a semi-dilapidated Best Western Inn across from … not much. And in that Best Western was a pocket-sized nirvana known as the Red Fox, where partiers of every age and political persuasion could happily drink, smoke, and groove on the oddball lounge duo together. Those of us who whiled away nights in the pitch-dark confines of the Red Fox will always miss it, but here’s a Valentine’s Day party steeped in that early-aughts nostalgia. Proceeds benefit the American Heart Association (aww) and a huge lineup of entertainment includes local acts like Someday Honey, JunoSmile and Eugene Snowden. May every Lorna find her Mark tonight. – Jessica Bryce Young 7 p.m. | Will’s Pub, 1042 N. Mills Ave. | willspub.org | $10-$15

Midnight Movies: Lords of Chaos FILM

The story of Norwegian black metal bands Mayhem and Burzum is straight-up cuckoo bananas. So much so that there’s a lot of skepticism over whether the new film by Jonas Åkerlund, Lords of Chaos, which focuses on the frenemyship of Mayhem guitarist Øystein “Euronymous” Aarseth and Burzum’s Varg Vikernes, can do it justice. While Euronymous was instrumental in the development of the Satanic focus of Norway’s nascent black metal, “keeping it real” ended up going terribly wrong, eventually leading to Vikernes stabbing Euronymous to death in 1993. Åkerlund brings some cred to the depiction of Scandinavian metalheads, as he was the original drummer for Bathory, an extremely influential Swedish metal band. But don’t expect stars Rory Culkin and Emory Cohen to attempt a Norwegian accent. – Thaddeus McCollum 11:59 p.m. Friday-Saturday | Enzian Theater, 1300 S.

Devotion MUSIC

For a primetime EDM capital of global prestige and signature style in the 1990s, Orlando doesn’t get the credit it truly deserves in dance music history. Many hearts around here still glow with the euphoric memories of those glory days of our hot-burning underground rave scene (the feverish turnout at the AAHZ reunions can attest to that). But in both talent and historical location, this latest all-out reunion party is the most ambitious scene event in ages. The mega lineup is loaded with international golden-era headliners like the Crystal Method, Orlando breakout K5, Dallas breaks champion Kelly Reverb and Baltimore star DJ Who. Equally noteworthy is the top-shelf roster of elite homegrown DJs who achieved national prominence, like drum & bass king AK1200, bass god Magic Mike and breaks heroes Andy Hughes, Stylus, D-Xtreme, Sandy, Rob-E, Noel Sanger and Knightlife. And in a loving nod to Orlando history, this huge revival will once again fill the space that was iconic all-night dance club the Edge with the classic boom that made it and this city legend in the 1990s. Bass heads, rise and reunite. – Bao Le-Huu 7 p.m. | Ace Café, 100 W. Livingston St. | devotionparty.com | $35-$70

Lydia Lunch LITERARY

PHOTO BY JASMINE HIRST

Here’s a bit of a belated Valentine’s gift for us all! Singer, poet, performance artist, actress, No Wave icon and gothic godhead Lydia Lunch is returning to the City Beautiful, not for a show … but for a dinner date. Over the last couple of years, Lunch has made an annual trek here to pummel audiences into submission with her autodestructive Retrovirus project, but Monday will be sweet punishment of a very different variety. Lunch will be holding court at Maxine’s over dinner, reading from her crucial new collected journals, Of Sex and Madness, and never was there a more perfect time of year for it. Expect Lunch to take on matters of love, sex, politics, violence and, of course, you, if you provoke her ire. Throwing darts in lovers’ eyes, as a wise alien once said. – Matthew Moyer with Christian Kelty, Patrick Scott Barnes | 6 p.m. | Maxine’s on Shine, 337 N.

Carol Burnett COMEDY

From 1967 to 1978, Carol Burnett was the host and star of one of the most successful variety shows on television, The Carol Burnett Show. Like a primetime Saturday Night Live, the show featured comedy sketches featuring several guest stars. But Burnett started most shows with an unscripted Q&A session with the audience, where she would reply to questions with zingers – or end up getting zinged herself. Burnett brings that format to the stage this week with her “An Evening of Laughter and Reflection” tour. Burnett screens clips of some of her favorite moments from the show and fills in the gaps with behind-the-scenes stories before taking questions from the audience. This is a chance to see a true master at work. – TM 7:30 p.m. | Walt Disney Theater, Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, 445 S. Magnolia Ave. | 844-513-2014 | drphillipscenter.org | $69.25-$254.25

Dragon Parade Lunar New Year Festival E V E N TS

Even though Fashion Square Mall is everyone’s favorite mall to not shop at, the years when it hosted the annual Lunar New Year dragon parade felt, well, weird. Thankfully, the parade is back in its Mills 50 home, this year going down Thornton Avenue from Lake Highland Drive to that big parking lot behind Chuan Lu Garden. The party at the end of the parade features cultural dances, taiko drummers and tons of delicious food from vendors. And, of course, all of the dancing dragons and lions you can handle. – Thaddeus McCollum 11 a.m.-4 p.m. | Thornton Avenue, between Lake Highland Drive and Park Lake Street | centralfloridadragonparade.org | free

B Y D A N S AVA G E

I am a 56-year-old heterosexual man, and I have lived with ALS for the past six years. I am either in a wheelchair or in a hospital bed, and I have very little motor ability in my limbs. Like most or all male ALS patients, I still have full sensory ability, including a fully functioning penis. Are there safe websites or groups I can connect with that deal with helping paralytics like me find people who are interested in hooking up? I’m talking about people who have a fetish for paralytics. I know that some people have a thing for amputees; I imagine there’s a fetish for any number of diseases or afflictions. When I was healthy, I was into light bondage. That seems like a redundancy now, but I can still get into dress-up and role-play. I would be cool if someone was into the whole bathing-grooming-dressing thing, and whatever baby-doll fantasy they might have. Hell, I’d be happy if someone just wanted to give me a pity fuck! Realistic About Getting Dominated Or Lustfully Laid “I struggled to find any specific online groups with respect to ALS and sexuality,” says Andrew Gurza, a disability awareness consultant and the host of “Disability After Dark,” a terrific podcast that explores and celebrates the sexual agency and desirability of people with disabilities. “But what RAGDOLL is looking for might not be directly related to his specific disability. It sounds like he is looking to engage with a community of people called ‘devotees.’ These individuals are attracted to people primarily because of their disabilities, and that might be what he is looking for. I know a couple who used a devotee website to find each other, who dated and eventually married.” If you’re open to playing with a devotee, RAGDOLL, Gurza suggests checking out Paradevo (paradevo.net), a website for “female devotees and gay male devotees” of disabled men. “Many disabled people have also set up profiles on sites like FetLife to explore not only their fetishistic sides, but also how their disabled identities can complement and play a role in that,” Gurza says. Now, many people, disabled and otherwise, look down on devotees, who are often accused of fetishizing disability and objectifying disabled people. But people who are exclusively attracted to the ablebodied and/or the conventionally attractive are rarely accused of fetishizing the able and ambulatory or objectifying the facially symmetrical. Which is why it has always seemed to me – and Gurza agrees with me on this point – that if being with someone who

is turned on by your whatever-the-fuck is good enough for the able-bodied, it’s good enough for people with disabilities. Provided of course that, able or disabled, we’re appreciated for everything we bring to the table or the chair or the bed. Ryan Honick, a disability advocate and public speaker, doesn’t think you should limit your search to websites aimed exclusively at the disability community. “It’s estimated that one in five people have a disability,” Honick says. “And when I think about how challenging dating can be anyway – disability notwithstanding – my immediate thought is that RAGDOLL shouldn’t exclude 80 percent of the population from his search. So I would encourage him to use some of the mainstream apps – like Tinder, OkCupid, Bumble or Match – and put what he’s after front and center.” Honick would caution other disabled people that putting your disability front and center – even on mainstream dating apps – is likely to attract the attention of devotees. “RAGDOLL doesn’t seem like he would mind being with a devotee,” Honick says. “But those of us who do mind need to be a little more discerning. I’ve inadvertently attracted a fair number of people with a devotee fetish, and it honestly squicked me out.” Zooming out for a second: Safety is always a concern when inviting a stranger over for sex, RAGDOLL, even for the non-disabled. In addition to attracting the attention of a few good and decent people, devotees or not, your relative helplessness could attract the attention of a predator. So before inviting anyone over, get their real name and their real phone number. Then share that information with a trusted friend – someone who can check in with you before and after a date – and let your potential new fuck buddy know you’re sharing their info with a trusted friend. Second-to-last word goes to Honick: “Another option, if it’s available to RAGDOLL and he’s open to it, would be hiring a sex worker.” And the last word goes to Gurza: “RAGDOLL shouldn’t resign himself to the idea that he’s a ‘pity fuck.’ His desires as a disabled man have full value and worth. And I want him to know, as a fellow disabled man, that he can have a fulfilling sex life and that someone out there does find him attractive.” I’m a 44-year-old woman living in the D.C. area. I divorced my husband last year, and I haven’t had sex in seven years. Despite my premenopausal age and daily antidepressant, I’m horny as fuck. How do you recommend I find someone to do me? I am a BBW

“THE DOLL”

and ready to get fucked. But I also want to protect my privacy and I’m reluctant to post pics online. I’m aware I am a fetish for some, and I’ve been something of a “crazy-person magnet” in the past, and that’s a concern. I’m not looking for love. I just want to get done without meeting a psycho. Like A Virgin Again You can’t find someone if you aren’t willing to put yourself out there, LAVA, which these days means putting some pics up on dating apps. There are lots of dating and/or hookup apps and websites for bigger folks, some more fetishizing than others. (I did a little digging, and WooPlus.com seems to be legit and not overrun with feeders.) And who cares if someone spots your photo on a dating site? If Jeff Bezos refuses to be shamed by his dick pics – or blackmailed with them – you don’t have to be ashamed to show your face on a dating or hookup app. As for avoiding “psychos,” LAVA, there are shitty, toxic people everywhere. Learn to recognize the signs and take those red flags seriously. If you have a terrible track record – if you’ve found yourself with (or married to) a lot of shitty/toxic people – then you need to make sure you’re not the problem. Because if everyone you’ve ever dated was shitty or toxic, LAVA, there’s a better than even chance you were the shitty or toxic common denominator in a lot of failed relationships. Do the work – risk being introspective and self-critical – and if you’re not the problem and you are incapable of spotting red flags, confide in a friend whose judgment you trust when you’re screening potential FWBs.
