Readers react to stories from last week’s issue. Florida lawmakers say they’re ready to vote on measures that would allow patients to smoke medical marijuana. Gov. Ron DeSantis gave the Legislature until March 15 to settle the issue. @Chris Diggs If they legalize it recreationally it would be great income for the state. @Eddie Jones Kinda like the lottery would improve our schools so they could hire better teachers? Visit Florida announced last week that the state had 126.1 million visitors in 2018, breaking the previous record set in 2017. @Micah Nies Imagine if recreational marijuana ever lands here.

I work in the travel industry. We have five cruise ports in Florida, surrounded by water and some of the best beaches in the world. Have Disney, Universal, Seaworld & Busch Gardens on top of many other parks. Billions of tourist dollars. Florida should be the wealthiest state in the USA. We are not. There are a few rich people in the state benefiting and the rest get zero. Pointing to the high costs of health care, Gov. Ron DeSantis says he wants to create a program that would allow Floridians to import FDA-approved drugs from Canada. Floridians don’t seem to know what to make of a Republican elected official making decisions that don’t toe the party line. @Nancy Hayes If DeSantis would have let us know he was an Independent, we wouldn’t have fought him so hard. @Tim Driggers Makes me wonder if he is a Democratic plant.

@Mary Lynn Netzel Snowbirds go home!! @Amanda Broyles I feel like I saw them all on I-4 this summer. @Sean Byndas Here is something to consider:

@Steve Oehler Like 45, Desantis just wants to look good. He’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing! @Mike Evans I don’t know what the aliens did with the real DeSantis but I’m OK with this one.

Document dump reveals former UCF president was aware of misspent funds, Orlando Fire Chief resigns after claims of harassment, self-driving buses roll into Orlando and other news you may have missed last week. »

Document dump reveals former UCF President Dale Whittaker was aware of misspent funds: In January, after $38 million in operating

funds were used to build Trevor Colbourn Hall, former UCF President Dale Whittaker announced he would fire four high-ranking university employees. Whittaker said he had no knowledge of the spending. But a document dump last week revealed testimony by current and former UCF employees who said they didn’t understand the implications of using the operating funds to cover construction costs, and many of them said they’ve been used to help protect Whittaker. Whittaker was appointed UCF president last year, following longtime UCF President John Hitt’s retirement; Whittaker resigned last week.

Orlando Fire Chief Roderick Williams resigns following federal investigation of sexual harassment of a female employee: Orlando

Fire Department Chief Roderick Williams submitted his resignation last week after the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission found that he and two deputy chiefs discriminated against a female colleague. The EEOC’s investigation found evidence that supported the woman’s allegation that she had been subjected to discriminatory harassment, misconduct and differential treatment by both deputy chiefs. The report also noted that Williams subjected the employee to sexual harassment and “continuous retaliatory conduct.” It remains unclear whether the two deputy chiefs will also resign.

Legislature moves closer to ending ban on smokable medical marijuana: The House and Senate moved closer to agreement on the issue of

allowing patients to smoke medical marijuana, after the House Appropriations Committee eliminated a proposal last week that would have restricted medical marijuana dispensaries to selling pre-rolled cannabis cigarettes with filters only. After making the change, the committee approved the House version of the smokablemarijuana bill (HB 7015). But unlike the Senate’s bill – which requires medical marijuana operators to sell at least one type of pre-rolled, filterless cigarette as well as allowing them to sell other whole-flower products – the House version would prohibit dispensaries from selling other whole-flower products. The legislative session starts March 5.

Self-driving buses roll into Orlando, a growing testbed for ‘smart city’ technology: Autonomous vehicle company Beep’s miniature, self-

driving bus will hit the streets of Lake Nona in the coming months. Executives and local officials convened for the announcement last week and said that Beep will plant its headquarters square in Lake Nona – a burgeoning neighborhood in South Orlando billed as one of the fastest-growing tech-heavy “smart cities.” The company plans to deploy its first two autonomous shuttles this spring.

Florida lawmakers sponsor bill that would keep guns from domestic abusers: Florida Rep. Anna Eskamani and Sen. Lori Berman

sponsored legislation last week that would keep guns from convicted domestic abusers. Federal gun laws protect women from domestic abusers by prohibiting firearm possession by individuals convicted of a “misdemeanor crime of domestic violence” or subject to a final domestic violence restraining order. But officials say the “Gun Safety for Women Act” will close any potential gaps in the system by requiring a person convicted of misdemeanor domestic violence offense to surrender all firearms and ammunition to law enforcement. orlandoweekly.com

EMPTY PROMISES

The Democratic primary is full of big ideas – and candidates who won’t do what it takes to make them law BY JEFFREY C. BI L L M A N

Last week, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, and I can’t pronounce

announced that he’ll once again seek the Democratic his last name either – realizes that if he wants to accomnomination for president, launching a campaign premised plish anything of substance, the filibuster has to go. This is a truth Barack Obama only admitted after his on the same sort of bold initiatives he championed four years ago: Medicare for All, the Green New Deal and free presidency ended. The filibuster, he said in November, universal college, along with raising taxes on the wealthy “has made it almost impossible for us to effectively govern at a time when you have at least one party that is not willand breaking up big banks. Then he admitted that, if he became president, none ing to compromise on issues.” The filibuster, of course, is the Senate rule – not a of it would ever happen. He didn’t use those exact words. Instead, he told CBS law, not a constitutional mandate – that requires News’ John Dickerson that he wasn’t “crazy about getting 60 votes to get things done. It only takes 51 votes to kill rid of the filibuster,” which is pretty much the same thing. it. Democrats did that for most judicial nominations in As long as the Senate’s filibuster rule is in place, his agenda response to Republican obstruction during the Obama won’t become law. Bernie’s been a senator for 12 years. He administration. Republicans did the same for Supreme Court nominations after Donald Trump’s election. Trump knows that. I don’t mean to pick on Bernie. This inane sensibility, has begged Senate leader Mitch McConnell to ditch the rooted in nostalgia for bygone comity and compromise, legislative filibuster once and for all. McConnell is reticent. He knows the 60-vote threshpermeates the Democratic field. Cory Booker and Kirsten Gillibrand have made similar statements. Kamala Harris, old lets him shield vulnerable Republicans from difficult Amy Klobuchar and Sherrod Brown (who has not yet votes. And he also knows his party won’t be in the majority announced a run) signed a letter to the same effect in 2017. forever, and the filibuster is better suited to preventing Of the major candidates, only Elizabeth Warren has progressive policies than advancing conservative ones. said eliminating the filibuster is on the table. Add in (For Trump’s two big legislative initiatives – the failed the second-tier candidates, and only Pete Buttigieg – he’s effort to repeal the Affordable Care Act and the barely suc-

cessful tax cut – McConnell circumvented the filibuster.) Think of how differently Obama’s presidency could have gone. After a landslide in 2008, he started 2009 with 58 Democrats – Arlen Specter switched parties in April, and Al Franken’s election took until July to settle – and only had 60 for a few months until Scott Brown won the Massachusetts special election to replace the late Ted Kennedy. The Republicans, meanwhile, were unified in their opposition to almost everything. So Obama needed to both keep Senate Dems in line and peel off a few Republicans to enact a stimulus amid a collapsing economy. He ended up with half a loaf, a $775 billion plan that wasn’t nearly big enough, about 40 percent of which was composed of inefficient tax cuts that didn’t immediately generate jobs instead of direct spending. Obama had 60 Democrats for the Affordable Care Act, but thanks to the filibuster, conservative members of the caucus had all the leverage. Sen. Joe Lieberman singlehandedly killed the public option, which might have been a precursor to Medicare for All. Sen. Ben Nelson got the “Cornhusker Kickback” (later nixed) and forced Democrats to tighten restrictions on abortion. Other senators extorted Medicaid benefits for their states. It was politically damaging sausage-making at its ugliest – and only necessary, again, because of the 60-vote threshold. And we sometimes forget that Nancy Pelosi’s House passed a carbon cap-and-trade bill that year that the Senate never bothered taking up because it could never get to 60, and, after a bruising health care fight, Senate Dems didn’t want to bother with a controversial vote that wouldn’t pass anyway. All of this contributed to the Democrats getting hammered in 2010 and Obama spending the rest of his administration playing defense. To recap: With the filibuster, you get a half-assed stimulus, a messy, convoluted health care plan, no climate change legislation and political disaster. Without it? Better policy – and, politically, who knows? This should be a cautionary tale. The Senate is already undemocratic, weighted toward small, rural, white states. (The 50 senators who confirmed Justice Brett Kavanaugh represented just 44 percent of America.) Given Democrats’ weakness in white, rural areas, they’re unlikely to approach 60 senators anytime soon. And given the Trumped-up state of the GOP, redstate Republicans have no incentive to compromise on climate change, health care or anything else. Democrats are running on audacious plans to address climate change and income inequality. But any big progressive reform will require institutional reform – small-d democratic reform, rather than binding your administration to a dysfunctional norm no one outside the Beltway cares about. If candidates can’t admit that, that tells me they’re not really serious about turning their agendas into actual policy.

BIRDSHIT CRAZY The city of Orlando blames Lake Adair’s poor water quality on bird poop. Environmentalists disagree, and residents are tired of the noisy ‘solutions’ BY XANDER P ETERS

I

t’s a brisk morning in mid-December, but it might as well be a low-budget Fourth of July on Lake Adair, as a city of Orlando employee fires off blank cartridges and whistlers at the cormorants that are roosting in the surrounding cypress trees. Since the migratory cormorants began nesting around the College Park lake more than 20 years ago, city officials claim, they’ve been one of the main drivers behind Lake Adair’s poor water quality. It’s a shitty situation, literally. The cormorants – slender black birds with orange and yellow beaks – eat fish out of the lake and then defecate back into it, and city officials say that’s making nutrient levels rise, which can cause algae growth, which can cut off oxygen to the fish population. Their claim is based on a 1997 study that was produced following the bird brigade’s initial landing. It found that the bird dung in Lake Adair was responsible for 1,353 pounds of the lake’s phosphorous (73 percent) – the equivalent of two large vending machines – and 2,529 pounds of its nitrogen (36 percent) – the equivalent of an adult walrus. That’s more than Lake Adair’s 25 acres can handle, city officials say. But for some Lake Adair residents and environmentalists, the way the city has attempted to solve the problem is more than they can handle. On Dec. 3, the city sent a letter to Lake Adair residents saying staff would be “using spotlights, air horns, pyrotechnics and pressurized water to discourage the cormorants from roosting and nesting along the lake.” For weeks, a city employee came out twice a day – once in the mid-morning and again in the evening – with flare guns and loud whistler bombs to drive the birds away. Lake Adair resident Diane Rossi says it’s a nuisance. “I talk to neighbors on the other side of the lake and they say the same thing. They have to leave the house. They can’t go out-

side. It freaks their dogs out,” says Rossi, a self-described “birder” who’s lived lakeside for roughly four years. “When I first moved here the guy that we bought the house from said, ‘I just want to warn you, it’s going to sound like a war zone during certain times of the year. Don’t be afraid.’” December was the first time the cormorants have returned since 2015. And with them, officials say, their guano has brought another decrease in Lake Adair’s water quality. Except there’s a problem this time around: A March 2018 report on nutrient levels in Lake Adair by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection contradicts the city’s water quality assessment. In fact, it doesn’t mention the cormorants at all. “[FDEP] looked at the entire array of nutrients going into the lake and they did not consider in that study the cormorants to be any significant input,” says Charles Lee, director of advocacy at Audubon Florida. “The inputs are documented; they grow very specifically and they relate primarily to runoff from lawns and streets. And that is where the bulk of the nutrients coming into the lake are coming from.” In Lee’s estimation, there’s a 700- to 800acre watershed area that feeds runoff water into Lake Adair. Some of that water runs onto the streets and the lake’s shoreline,

and then directly into Lake Adair. Other water is carried from sewer grates throughout the neighboring area and into several larger pipes that transport stormwater into the lake. Lee says that’s how lawn fertilizers wind up in Lake Adair. “It’s nutrients,” Lee adds. “It’s phosphorus and nitrogen, and that’s what causes the water quality problems in not just Lake Adair but all of the lakes in the Orlando area.” An environmentalist specialist with the FDEP who asked to be interviewed on background because they are not authorized to speak publicly on the matter offers something similar to Lee’s assessment. The FDEP employee, who’s sampled Lake Adair’s water quality for the state, claims the primary nutrient source for nearly every Orlando-area lake is polluted stormwater inputs. Lake Adair gets overflow from Spring Lake, the FDEP employee says, which is near the Country Club of Orlando’s golf course. The FDEP employee says it would be very difficult for cormorants to introduce more nitrates and phosphates into Lake Adair than fertilizers and stormwater-related pollutants via the course’s neatly manicured greens. But: “This is one of the few inputs we can actually try to control,” says Rick Howard, director of Public Works at the city, of the cormorant dispersal process. Although Howard asserts the cormorants are the main source of Lake Adair’s rising nutrient levels, he also says the urbanization of the watershed has created most of the lake’s longterm pollution. “Peoples’ fertilizers that run off of lawns and so on are a significant source of nitrogen particularly,” Howard says. “We’ve retrofitted all the [lake’s] inlets with filter baskets and we have second-generation baffle boxes” – large structures that filter inputs into water bodies – “that do a lot of nutrient separation. And those are things that we can do and have done, but cormorant dispersal is just another one of those things.”

City staff told Lake Adair residents they would use “spotlights, air horns, pyrotechnics and pressurized water” to discourage birds from roosting around the lake.

Howard calls it a “best management” practice. That view doesn’t take into account the circular process of the cormorants’ diet, Lee says. They dive for their prey (the fish in the lake), eat it, and then what goes in must come out – the cormorants poop into Lake Adair what they took from it in the first place. While Lee points to the synchronized natural relationship of the cormorants, the fish and the lake, Howard veers the opposite direction. Howard says a theory like Lee’s would only hasten the nutrient loading process. He says Lake Adair’s fish population isn’t large enough to completely feed the cormorants, so the birds travel elsewhere for their meals sometimes. Then they return, he says, and they bring those nutrients back into this particular water body. “So yeah, I might agree that if they only fished in Lake Adair it would be kind of a recycling of all those nutrients,” Howard says. “But even I could argue against that. I know I’m providing a little circular logic here, but it’s worse when they fish elsewhere and bring it back into the Lake Adair system. I don’t know if that’s clear. I’m not even sure if it’s clear.” Howard laughs a little. Lee isn’t laughing, though. “It’s a sort of public relations exercise,” Lee says. “The city is so far unwilling and unable to tackle the root causes of the problem. So they want to make a show out of shooing the birds in the belief that people think they’re doing something about the stormwater because firecrackers and whistlers are going off.” He adds: “At best, if there’s an issue at all, all they’re doing is spreading the issue around.” Maybe Lee’s correct. On the midDecember morning when I tagged along to watch a city employee go through the dispersal process routine, only one – maybe two – cormorants were spotted. The dispersal process, however, continued for several more weeks. That is, until some Lake Adair residents began to complain, city spokesperson Karyn Barber says. Although Barber says the city is sticking by its claim of the dispersal method’s effectiveness, she says the city has since commissioned an updated study “to examine the water quality in Lake Adair and determine if, or when, to continue the program again next year following the completed study.” “I think it’s a waste of time and effort on their behalf,” Lee says. feedback@orlandoweekly.com

S

pring may come in like a lamb and out like a lion (or vice-versa) in other places, but in Central Florida, it’s more like spring comes while you were busy sneezing your face off and leaves before you even noticed. The pollen factories coat everything, including your poor sinuses, with a thin, yellow powder. The mercury sometimes swings as much as 40 degrees Fahrenheit in a single day. The public pools aren’t open yet. It’s kind of a pain. But if you spend too much time worrying about histamines, you’ll miss out on all of the festivals and parties that come along with spring. Whether it’s at the theme parks, in a Mills 50 parking lot or under the stars, there are plenty of activities to look forward to in the springtime. Especially once that Claritin kicks in. Gesundheit!

FEB. 28-MARCH 17 CENTRAL FLORIDA FAIR E V E N TS

In the century-long existence of the Central Florida Fair, the focus has shifted from a primarily agricultural event to one focused on risk-taking, whether that comes in the form of loading yourself into what feels like a rickety deathtrap that someone sarcastically decided was a ride, or taking a gamble on eating deep-fried butter. But with all-day ride wristbands available for $25 and fair food prices still remaining a nudge south of the prices at the big parks, one risk you don’t have to worry about is whether you’re getting enough fun for your buck.

FRIDAY-SUNDAY, MARCH 22-24 SPOOKY EMPIRE E V E N TS

The long-running local horror convention definitely had some logistical growing pains at last October’s event (whoa, Nelly), but one can’t help but root for Spooky Empire’s organizers, especially when scoping out the lineup for their satellite spring event. So far they’ve confirmed big-ticket talent like Christina Ricci (Buffalo 66, The Addams Family) and Christopher Lloyd (Back to the Future, Who Framed Roger Rabbit); cult favorites like Fairuza Balk (The Craft) and Florida’s own Ricou Browning (The Creature From the Black Lagoon); and intriguing up-and-comers like David Howard Thornton and Damien Leone from the unrelentingly dark Terrifier. And of course, expect the usual cavalcade of vendors, panels, film screenings, musical entertainment and cosplay-o-rama. 1 p.m. Friday, 11 a.m. Saturday-Sunday | Wyndham Orlando Resort, 8001 International Drive | 954-258-7852 | spookyempire.com | $30-$65

SATURDAY, MARCH 23 UNITED WE BRUNCH E V E N TS

The concept of brunch – not quite breakfast, not quite lunch – goes back to 1895, when it was first named by English writer Guy Beringer in his essay Brunch: A Plea. In it, Beringer advocated for the hybrid meal as a way for heavy Saturday night drinkers, such as himself, to make Sundays a little less painful. Not much has changed in modern times, except for the fact that a post-brunch hangover is a bit more standard than a pre-existing one. To help with that, we gather together some of the best brunch restaurants in the area under one roof and have them bring along their best bites for you to try. We combine that with unlimited mimosas, Bloody Marys and beer for the ultimate brunch experience. And this time, we’re even covering the after-party for our VIP ticketholders. Plus, it’s on a Saturday, so you won’t even have to call out from work the next day. 11 a.m.-3 p.m. | Orchid Garden & Ballroom, 126 W. Church St. | unitedwebrunch.com | $45-$80

APRIL 5-14 UCF CELEBRATES THE ARTS ART

When UCF decides to celebrate, they go all in. This festival will have the Dr. Phillips Center overflowing with intriguing experiences for a full 10 days, to the point that attendees may just want to bring a sleeping bag and camp out on the Seneff Arts Plaza so as not to miss anything. (Except, whoops, even the Seneff is being activated with immersive installations and interactive art-making.) This fest really does fulfill that tired cliché, “something for everyone”: book-lovers can meet Station Eleven author Emily St. John Mandel; Broadway fans can attend a performance of Titanic: The Musical; opera lovers get a production of Aaron Copland’s The Tender Land; jazz fans can snap fingers to the Flying Horse Big Band’s tribute to Ray Charles. And that barely scratches the surface of the myriad concerts, exhibitions and happenings taking place. Admission to many events is free, but all events require a ticket; some performances add a surcharge to reserve seats. 5:30 p.m. Friday, April 5, through 5 p.m. Sunday, April 14 | Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, 445 S.

For many, the annual Orlando Fringe is the signature Orlando event of the year. Pulling talent from multiple sectors of the entertainment landscape – theater, comedy, music, dance and visual – Fringe is a uniting force for our vibrant performing arts scene. Along with an insurmountable variety of performances in theaters around the Loch Haven Park complex and nearby spaces, Fringe also offers up the hands-down best lawn experience of the season.

For a couple of weeks each spring, the Fringe lawn becomes the de facto living room of Orlando, welcoming patrons from all walks of life and asking them, “Want to get some cheese curds?” multiple scheduled events | Loch Haven Park, 777 E.

SATURDAY, MAY 18 BEER ’MERICA CRAFT BEER FESTIVAL E V E N TS

Beer, beer, it brings us cheer; it makes us so drunk that we sometimes don’t care – that’s the spirit you should bring to Beer ’Merica this spring, where more than 100 American craft beer brewers come together for what’s arguably the Central Florida Mecca of barley pops. What’s that, you ask – what’s beer without live music and a bunch of food to stuff your face with, you bunch of knuckledragging drunkards? Short answer: It’s still beer, but it’s not as good. So come on out for what we hope will be a much (meteorologicaly speaking) drier event this year. But even if it isn’t, it doesn’t matter because you can count on getting so cheerful you won’t even remember the rain anyway. 3-6 p.m. | Gaston Edwards Park, 1236 N.

MARDI GRAS AT UNIVERSAL STUDIOS THROUGH APRIL 4 F E ST I VA L S

Universal does its best every year to make up for the fact that Fat Tuesday isn’t a thing in Central Florida by dressing up its nightly parade and offering up some as-authentic-as-they-can-make-it down-home Louisiana cooking. But the main attraction for locals is the calendar of free concerts that take place right next to the Rip Ride Rockit roller coaster. See classic nostalgia acts like Steve Miller Band and Pitbull, or up-and-comers like NF or Sabrina Carpenter.

SeaWorld ups its taste game through the spring with international “markets” set up throughout the park. Get limited-availability bites like Brazilian picanha steak or char siu bao from the Asian market, then wash it all down with themed drinks like Jack Daniel’s Cowboy Punch or an ouzo lemonade. Concerts from the likes of Bret Michaels, Lifehouse, and an I Love the ’90s showcase featuring Coolio, En Vogue, Tone Loc and more take over the Bayside Stadium every weekend.

EPCOT INTERNATIONAL FLOWER & GARDEN FESTIVAL MARCH 6-JUNE 3 F E ST I VA L S

Every spring, the landscape designers of Epcot show off their skills with elaborate dioramas made from colorful blooming flowers. Even for those of us with serious pollen allergies, it’s worth it to pop an allergy pill for a close-up look at some of Disney’s most impressive topiaries. The park’s International Showcase offers up special springtime bites in its outdoor kitchens, and the Garden Rocks concert series brings the likes of Blood, Sweat and Tears, Peabo Bryson, A Flock of Seagulls and Christopher Cross to the amphitheater at the American pavilion.

[ arts + culture ] teaching at UCLA and now working with associate artists at ACA. I imagine these artists and students are thrilled to have the opportunity to work with you. How do you benefit from this type of exchange with emerging artists?

There’s a really wide range of ages in relation to the associates that I am working with and some have also been really prominent teachers and what I think happens is that it just allows – it is not the same as school – it’s a three-week intensive where people come together from very different backgrounds and really share their ideas and their work with myself as well as with one another. So, the benefit for me is really just hearing other artists talk about their work and how I can be helpful and useful to them. As well, I get to explore this area for the three weeks with my own camera. I went to Daytona 500. Whoa.

I went on a Saturday night and I ended up realizing that Daytona 500 was happening, so I bought a ticket on StubHub and I was right there, near enough to see pit crews and things like that. I’m kind of submerging myself really quickly in the landscape as well to work with the associates, but also to make some work on my own. ‘CATHY (LONDON),’ 2017, BY CATHERINE OPIE, COURTESY OF REGEN PROJECTS, LOS ANGELES, AND THOMAS DANE GALLERY, LONDON AND NAPLES

RADICAL VISIONS Catherine Opie’s ardent eye pierces to the heart of her subjects BY AMY GA LP IN

O

ver several decades, photographer Catherine Opie has examined the personal and the political and spaces in between. Known for her early self-portraits and portraits of her friends and family, Opie’s oeuvre is complex and broad, with subjects ranging from queer bodies to bodies of water, the belongings of Elizabeth Taylor to the complexities of Los Angeles’ freeway overpasses. She photographs with an ardent dedication to humanity and to the process of imagemaking. While her early work is already an established part of the canon, she continues to make vital images that ask important questions about the human condition. Opie is currently one of three master artists-in-residence at the Atlantic Center for the Arts, a world-renowned arts residency tucked away in New Smyrna Beach. Thursday, she’ll present an illustrated lec-

ture on her work as part of the ACA’s community outreach. Orlando Weekly: How is your time thus far at ACA? Catherine Opie: It’s a really spe-

cial place. I am so happy to be here. The grounds here are incredible … you walk on these wooden pathways through all of this Spanish moss and vegetation. I saw a possum last night coming in. That’s awesome.

I am waiting to see an armadillo. I am waiting for that sighting. But, you know, the fellows are incredible. It’s great to have writers, dancers and image-makers all here together. And they take really good care of you, so it’s pretty cool. Absolutely. I was thinking about you

That’s amazing. I can’t wait to see that work. That’s incredible.

Well, we’ll see. I hope it is. I’ve had the opportunity to see many different exhibitions featuring your work. One that really stays with me is when you had a solo presentation at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art [Catherine Opie: Figure and Landscape, 2010] side by side with an exhibition of Thomas Eakins’ paintings [Manly Pursuits: The Sporting Images of Thomas Eakins, 2010].

Yes, Eakins, exactly. One of my favorite artists. It was amazing to see his wrestlers and your surfers and football players and ponder them together. How do you see your work functioning within a larger trajectory of art?

To be able to physically have the work in close proximity just allows you to understand that part of being human and humanity is looking at the world around us and the relationship of what we make of that in whatever ways we want to talk about humanity and society. These are long human questions; art has been since the orlandoweekly.com

beginning of mankind/womankind. It is pretty interesting to be so in love with what you do that you get to be inspired by history. Are you keeping up with current events and political developments or are you finding that you have to remove yourself a little bit from what’s happening?

I can’t really remove myself. Here [at ACA] I don’t have television [so] I am reading basically The Guardian, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times and the Washington Post. Right now, I am pretty much reading the paper because I don’t have my nightly Rachel Maddow history lesson. I so appreciate her history lesson. Although I am reading a really phenomenal book that I think every person should read in this country and it is Jill Lepore’s book called These Truths [W.W. Norton & Company, 2018]. She is a phenomenal American history professor at Harvard. As a curator, I often interact with students and I have found myself in the amazing position of introducing your work to people – “Self-Portrait/ Cutting,” “Oliver in a Tutu,” portraits of Pig Pen, iconic works – for the first time. Do these works function for you differently then they did back then? Is there anything you want younger people, 18 to 22, to know about the earlier work?

I am a little disappointed that my work is still radical. In terms of the younger generation and my son who is 17 now … I wish the work wasn’t so pertinent in terms of continuing the discourse around homophobia in our society. Enjoy the rest of your time in Florida.

I am photographing swamps; we’ll see what happens. Amy Galpin is the former curator of the Cornell Fine Arts Museum of Rollins College and currently serves as chief curator at the Frost Art Museum of Florida International University. arts@orlandoweekly.com

THE CAST OF ‘1984’ | PHOTO COURTESY GARDEN THEATRE

If you’re of the opinion that

Orlando’s artists are too apolitical or afraid of offending corporate interests, you obviously haven’t met Bobbie Bell. “This is my year of anti-fascism,” the director and recently retired Seminole State College professor proudly told me while explaining how he came to helm the stage adaptation of George Orwell’s 1984 for the Garden Theatre. “When I was asked if I’d do it, I said, ‘Yes, please, more,’ because other than [the era of ] Lindbergh and America First prior to the second World War, I don’t think this country has been closer to protofascism in its history.” According to Stephen Fry’s QI quiz show, research shows “at least a quarter of the people who claim to have read 1984 are lying.” But phrases like “Big Brother,” “doublethink” and “thought police” have permeated the collective cultural consciousness, to the point that, Bell says, “You don’t even have to have read the synopsis of 1984 [to] have a general concept of what it entails.” Those who do remember the dystopian novel will notice that Robert Icke and Duncan Macmillan’s adaptation – which is making its regional debut in Winter Garden following headline-making runs in New York and London – is the first to incorporate the book’s appendix, which Bell says reframes the story as “science fiction posing as history.” “The play begins with a group of people assembled to discuss the book, and they talk about the appendix and what it means,” Bell

“There will be arguments in the lobby, I hope,” says director Bobbie Bell of his ‘anti-fascist’ production of 1984.

explains. “It’s dramatized, but there are references to the futuristic backwards-looking function of the play.” The multiplicity of temporal perspectives is partly why Bell says 1984 is “a terrifying play to do for me because it’s complex, which is [also] why it’s interesting to do. There are five separate timelines going on at every single moment, so keeping those balanced so that the audience has a good experience takes some careful conducting. “There will be arguments in the lobby, I hope. There will be people wondering what the heck happened.” As a result, Bell says that of all the renditions of 1984, he thinks this one is the most faithful “because it doesn’t give you a strict narrative. Is Big Brother real? Is Julia [played by Kristie Geng] in love with Winston [played by Brian Zealand], or is she a member of the thought police who’s been sent out to entice him and get him to betray his thoughts? There’s nothing in the novel to

indicate one way or another.” 1984 debuted on London’s West End in 2013 during the Cameron administration’s surveillance state scandal, and it landed on Broadway only a few months after the inauguration of Donald Trump, whom Bell calls a “proto-fascist.” (“I don’t think he’s smart enough to be a real fascist.”) For his version, Bell has integrated his signature Brechtian staging style with the cuttingedge multimedia and visceral violence that were hallmarks of the earlier productions. “There’s not a single person in the play – actors or audience – that isn’t under surveillance at one point or another, and who don’t find themselves up on stage,” says Bell, hinting at the show’s immersivebordering-on-invasive use of video. “No one is safe.” Similarly, while he doesn’t consider the show to be torture porn (as some British critics claimed), Bell advises not bringing children to this show. “I think the play is terrifying, but I think Alfred Hitchcock is terrifying,” says Bell, referring to the intense interrogation scenes that had some New York audience members fainting and vomiting. “I wouldn’t use gratuitous violence on stage, but in 1984 people are tortured, so …,” he trails off with a dark laugh. Bell says that as complex as it is for him to balance the play’s emotional and physical aspects, it’s been even more challenging for his cast. “The actors are required to be both in the moment, but also technically very precise, because their performances are timed to the brilliant sound design [by Jack Audet],” Bell explains. “You have to match what you’re doing to the timing of the sound and the video, while also being authentic. It’s maddening, and I admire them very much for doing it.” 1984 is only the latest boundary-pushing play to make its regional premiere in Winter Garden during the tenure of Rob Winn Anderson, whom Bell calls “a delight” to work for. “It’s important to keep pace with not only our growing Winter Garden community but with the ever-changing landscape of our world,” says Anderson, who recently announced his retirement as the Garden Theatre’s artistic director. “It’s been my goal to have our theater’s programming reflect these changes and provide thoughtprovoking content, as well as shows that entertain and bring laughter into our lives.” 1984 opens at the Garden Theatre in Winter Garden March 1 and runs through March 17. skubersky@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

BLISTERING REPEATS ITSELF Maitland’s Midici fires up some mighty fine Neapolitan pizzas BY FAIYAZ KARA

L

eave it to Midici to spread the gospel of Neapolitan pizza to middle America and all points north, east, south and west. This is a “Neapolitan Pizza Company,” after all, and introducing thin crusts with a raised and blistered cornicione to all the Joe and Jane the Plumbers out there is their reason to be. Here in Orlando, we’ve been privy to Neapolitan-style pies for a while – Piazza Italia in Lake Nona, Pizza Bruno on Curry Ford, Prato in Winter Park and others. The gorgeous rounds served at Midici inside the Maitland City Centre adhere to strict Neapolitan pizza-making standards, using finely milled Caputo “00” flour for the dough followed by an in-house ferment. That dough is stretched, pulled, topped, then wood-fired between 850-950 degrees before being plated in just 90 seconds. The pies here come sliced, but they’re just 12 inches, so there’s really no need for the fork-and-knife method, though if you fancy yourself a hard-core purist, an unsliced pie can certainly be accommodated. And Midici (Italian for “you tell me”) lays it all out in front of you. Half the restaurant comprises an exhibition kitchen, proffering close looks at the Acunto Napoli oven and the pizzaiolos and pizzaiolas working on pies as you snake your way to the order counter. What’s not advertised at this

counter-service establishment is that table service is offered, but only at the six seats at the bar. And even though the immovable – and awkwardly placed – table lamps affixed to the counter can be a bit of a nuisance, it’s where I choose to sit if I’m dining in. Though pizzas are the stars at Midici, on one visit I did happen to catch Marcello Mastroianni and Sophia Loren: Too Bad She’s Bad and other Italian cinematic classics are projected onto the back wall, which is a nice touch. We caught glimpses of the comedy in between nibbles from the meat and cheese plate ($16.95). The spicy Italian salami was no laughing matter, nor the black truffle cheese, rosemary ham and prosciutto. Watching Sophia Loren slink about the beach as we dipped cubes of Parmigiano-Reggiano into honey seemed a bit too suggestive, even for us. So we placed all focus on the food – a sobering walnut and gorgonzola ($10.45) salad followed by a perfectly blistered and crusted margherita pizza ($9.95), my Neapolitan pie of choice. Now that was a looker. On my very first visit, the crust was a bit flat and dense, likely a result of underproofing. On every subsequent visit, however, it’s been (leopard) spot-on, and I’m usually able to polish off an entire pizza

by myself. Sometimes I’ll add red chilies to it for $1 more. Under the “Specialty Pizza” category, a few are listed as being available “New York style.” Santa Cleopatra! At a Neapolitan pizzeria!? We shunned protocol and shook hands with the devil – the Devil’s Pizza in the New York style, that is ($12.95). Its crust, marginally thicker and not nearly as airy, is sprinkled with shredded mozz and a seasoned sauce along with spicy housemade sausage, spicy salami and those red chilies. ’Tis a great pizza, but filling. Owner Joe Roberts thought about nixing the New York-style offering, but it proved too popular with the take-out crowd. Calzones are also popular – and after gorging on one stuffed with Angus beef meatballs and provolone ($10.45) I can see why. And while you’re stuffing yourself, stuff a scoop of mango sorbetto or double-chocolate gelato into your bocca. Thinking of an affogato? Don’t. You won’t find a barista pulling shots from a striking Victoria Arduino espresso machine here, as you would at the Midicis in Kissimmee and Daytona. Hope that changes. There’s also only one oven (as opposed to two at most other branches) due to space limitations. But like all Midicis, you will find a tree sprouting in the middle of the dining room. It’s a symbol of tradition, authenticity, growth and life. And if it falls, well, midici. fkara@orlandoweekly.com

Fresh-fruit slushies, teas and coffee are this Cali-based chain’s signature offerings, but “Hispanic-Asian” food offerings make ideal accompaniments to such boffo iced bevs as mangonada and spicy watermelon.

French steakhouse chain makes its U.S. debut inside the Bay Hill Plaza, offering fare a cut above Outback, but not quite the level of a Ruth’s Chris. Steaks, naturally, are the focus, including cuts like rump steak, top sirloin and various ground steaks. The “maquignon” – a burger with hashbrowns acting as buns – is an ideal lunchtime option.

Closed Sundays. 210 N. Bumby Ave., 407-277-7755; $$

BLENDED CAFÉ BAR

Cavernous College Park café offers a selection of pan-Asian handhelds, namely bao, dumping, pockets and bánh mì. Empanada-like pockets couldn’t be more gratifying, and the bao (filled with everything from lemongrass-teriyaki beef to crispy jackfruit) are undeniable draws. Don’t leave without sampling a bubble waffle and some blended tea. Closed Monday. 2306 Edgewater Drive, 407-8689836; $

INAY’S KITCHEN

The women jockeying the stoves at Inay’s Kitchen deliver a brand-new food experience to those of us not versed in Filipino cooking. Thick, hearty stews are brightened up with expert use of vinegar, and pork and chicken skewers are lacquered with sauce and grilled until the sauce becomes candy – add a third flavor layer with a dip in that vinegar again. The takeout-friendly Inay’s can be hard to find on a dimly lit road in Ocoee, but persevere; it’s worth the search. 1097 S. Clarke Road, Ocoee, 407-601-2126; $

SELAM ETHIOPIAN & ERITREAN CUISINE

The city’s second Ethiopian restaurant offers diners another option to get handsy with their food. Of note is an explosive doro wat, a thick crimson stew reddened by the addition of berbere, a potent powdered spice blend and staple of Ethiopian cooking. Tear off pieces of spongy injera and enjoy. Ye beg tibs (a sauté of lamb) and raw beef kitfo heavily essenced with cardamom are two others to pay heed to. There are plenty of options for veg diners. Pair it all with tej, a sweet honey mead beverage. 5494 Central Florida Parkway, 407-590-4571; $$ n

HHHHH

BY CAMERON MEIE R

n the new stalker thriller by writerdirector Neil Jordan (The Crying Game, Michael Collins), a woman tells her young, naive roommate that New York City is going to eat her alive. Predictably, it does. Too bad it didn’t eat the movie too. In a trendy Tribeca apartment, Frances and Erica are living the 20-something Big Apple dream, or at least trying to. While the assured Erica preoccupies herself with parties, Frances struggles with a waitress job and tries to digest the recent death of her mother. Meanwhile, her father, back in their native Boston, leaves consoling voice messages. It’s little surprise, therefore, when Frances strikes up a surrogate-mom friendship with a French woman named Greta, whom Frances meets after finding her purse on a subway train. With the lostand-found department closed, Frances feels compelled to return the property to Greta’s house, which is easy to find thanks to the driver’s license being conveniently left in the bag. In one of the most shockingly unsurprising, unimaginative and derivative plot turns in recent cinema, not all is what it

Flicks on the Fairway: Indiana Jones and the

seems with Greta. In fact, the film takes only about 15 minutes to turn into a combination of Fatal Attraction, Ingrid Goes West, The Silence of the Lambs and, oh, just pick your own stalker flick. We’re made aware of this change, of course, by the embarrassingly heavy-handed musical ejaculations. Thanks, composer Javier Navarrete. But, hey, it’s actually not his fault. Instead, the blame for mishandling almost everything in Greta must fall on Jordan. In the title role, Isabelle Huppert is miscast, mediocre and never in the least bit scary. In addition, her thick French accent, which has served her well in other productions, further detracts from the intended mood. Chloe Grace Moretz, as Frances, is better suited to her part, and, as usual, her beauty and ability to project purity make her infinitely watchable. But I never fully accepted her predicament, nor any other aspect of the film. Admittedly, some viewers might be lulled into a “genre haze” by the miniscule amount of B-movie charm, or they might enjoy the competent cinematography and cleverly surreal (though too brief ) misdirection at the halfway point. But,

Gone With the Wind Special 80th anniversary screening of the classic epic about a woman doing whatever it takes to survive in the post-Civil War South. Thursday, 1 & 6 pm, Sunday, 1 & 6 pm;

ultimately, I was disturbed not by Frances’ suffering at the hands of Greta, but by the machinations of Jordan that the performers and audience were forced to endure. That is the real torture. In throwaway roles are Colm Feore (Chicago, House of Cards) as Frances’ father and Maika Monroe (It Follows) as Erica. While Feore is appropriately sympathetic, Monroe gives a performance that’s far too broad, as if she stepped out of a trashy teen comedy. That’s unfortunate considering her character’s importance to the film’s finale, which, in Jordan and co-writer Ray Wright’s screenplay, probably reads rather intelligently. It just never makes that smart leap from page to screen. “We were meant for love, not this terrible isolation,” Greta tells Frances. If only she had adopted the outlook of another Greta, who famously proclaimed, “I want to be alone.” Then all this nonsense might have been avoided. feedback@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

Tyler Perry’s A Madea Family Funeral PHOTO COURTESY OF LIONSGATE

BY ST EVE SCHN EID ER

OPENING THIS WEEK: Deadlines can be a bitch. I had to write this column two days before the Oscars, but you’re reading it at least three days after. So you’re in the catbird seat of knowing everything that happened while I have no clue! How powerful you must feel, knowing that Black Panther’s surprise win for Best Picture was marred when the show’s producers made the entire cast and crew announce that ongoing analysis had revealed Moonlight was not the winner in 2017 after all. Plus, at press time, I had no idea that the entire sad spectacle would be capped by the sight of confederates of Jussie Smollett rushing the stage and dousing everybody with bleach. Savor the knowledge, my friends. But while you’re at it, can you tell me if Kevin Hart showed up at the beginning of the night and tried to host anyway? I’ve got a prediction ballot to fill out here. Everybody Knows A review of Vanilla Sky once described Penelope Cruz as having mastered the hair toss as an acting technique. It wasn’t my review, mind you: I’m not that funny (as you have certainly noticed). Eighteen years later, she’s still flipping her tresses all over the screen and getting paid for it, currently in the role of a mother whose child is kidnapped during a family wedding. Yes, there are worse things than the chicken dance, and this one should be enough to get Spanish dandruff flying all over the place. Everybody Knows was nominated in eight categories at the Goya Awards, but walked away with a big ol’ zero. Hey, at least nobody covered them in bleach.

(Relax, Penelope: That’s just conditioner.) (R; tentatively scheduled to open Friday at Enzian Theater, Maitland) Tyler Perry’s A Madea Family Funeral I kind of like it that we’ve gotten to the point where you can’t tell if the titles of these things are real or a parody. Hot on the heels of his recent visit to Amway Center (you didn’t hear about it ’cause you ain’t saved, son), Perry has correctly divined that saying sayonara to a loved one’s mortal remains is the perfect scenario for his sassy sista character to complicate. (Or set straight. I’m never sure if we’re supposed to be rooting for harmony or anarchy here.) Perry swears this installment in the series will be the last. But you and I know a decent profit will overturn that verdict in the batting of a false eyelash. Personally, I’m holding out for They Took Madea’s Foot: A Story of Love and Diabetes. (PG-13)

ALSO PLAYING: Arctic Stranded in the Arctic Circle, Mads Mikkelsen embarks on a desperate and dangerous journey of survival. His only company: the newly exiled Kevin Hart! (PG-13; playing at Regal Winter Park Village Stadium 20 & RPX) Total Dhamaal The third chapter in the Dhamaal franchise of slapstick capers concerns the hunt for a hidden fortune. “Yet another Ajay Devgn atrocity,” says The Hindustan Times. Hey, it’s good to have a brand. (NR; in Hindi; playing at Universal Cinemark at CityWalk) orlandoweekly.com

WALL OF SOUND Mexican artist Guillermo Galindo brings his Sonic Borders project to Rollins BY PATRICK GREENE

M

exican sound artist Guillermo Galindo has become well known for his Sonic Borders and Border Cantos projects, both part of a longtime collaboration with photographer Richard Misrach. Since 2011, Guillermo has been collecting objects discarded near the border: remnants, clothing, etc. With these objects he makes incredible one-off musical instruments that give musical voice to the struggle of migrants and humanize an inhumane situation. Writing about Border Cantos for Hyperallergic in 2017, arts critic John Yau summed up the essence of their collaboration: “Misrach is determined to document that poisoning [of the earth] without looking away, while Galindo wants to transform the results of that venom (the physical effects of unknown lives and deaths) into a salve. That these two artists – with their different intentions – have come together offers the possibility that all is not yet lost.” Galindo’s performances of Sonic Borders are deeply affecting, combining elements of the noise avant-garde with beautiful, meditative tones and a potent unspoken commentary. Galindo will give a very rare performance of Sonic Borders live at the Cornell Fine Arts Museum in Winter Park on Thursday. Additionally, a number of his pieces are on display as part of the museum’s current The Place as Metaphor exhibition. Sonic Borders has become very well known in the art and music worlds.

Would you talk about the project and when it started? In 2011, around the time I met Richard, I was already building my devices for my first border project called Voces del Desierto (a wind quintet written for Quinteto Latino which incorporated my first border sonic devices). Richard and I met in 2012. We worked together without stop for almost four years. Our collaboration was meant to be. Border Cantos became a bi-national artistic dialogue, a traveling exhibit and an art book facing the issues of migration from the point of view of two artists from different national origins (U.S. and Mexico) and two complementary art disciplines (photography and sound). Both Richard’s overpowering border landscapes and my own creation of sonic objects from the detritus left behind by the migrants came together to create a holistic experience involving the visual, the sonic and the subjective. The combination of our work in this project opened a space for dialogue and imagination. The lack of human presence, the evidence of life, the questionable void and, in my case, a persistence of silence opened the questions to be answered by the audience. Can you tell me a little about the weathered flags? Does the graphic notation on the flags have practical use in the work or is it symbolic? These sets of flags were, at one point,

situated in the California desert indicating the location of tanks containing several onegallon jugs of water. These tanks with their respective flags are strategically placed by the Water Stations humanitarian organization. They sit at visible points within the landscape so that the migrants are able to find them. The symbols printed on them are codes, indications and narratives involving sound and meant to be interpreted in very specific ways. You started collecting objects from the border in 2012, and continued through 2014. Are you still collecting objects from the area? Has your project been impacted by Trump‘s alleged “border crisis”? I actually started collecting objects in 2011. I stopped around 2014, right after the material of the Border Cantos exhibit was completed. Richard collected most of the objects in between those two dates. There are still many objects stored in my studio waiting to be transformed. I personally went there last year … just before Trump started sending troops to the border. My friends from Water Stations took me to a very secluded area where immigrants used to cross. In the past we found many items there, but this time here were not too many. How do you think the border situation has changed since you started the project? When we started, the border wall was not as prevalent of an issue as it is today. Trump was not even a candidate then. The project literally grew parallel to his candidacy and culminated with his presidency. While Richard and I traveled to the different venues where he lectured and I performed, heated debates within the audience kept increasing as time went by. I remember I gave a concert the night Trump was elected. I think we were in Texas. People wanted to talk to us in person and everybody was literally hugging each other. Tension gradually increased and the exhibit literally took a life of its own. I am not sure we were completely aware of how the significance and meaning of the show would shift and transform through time. music@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

BY B AO L E - H U U CAR SEAT HEADREST | PHOTO BY JEN CRAY

This week, a once-solo project rolls into town as a life-affirming army and a star drummer pushes percussive expression.

CAR SEAT HEADREST AND NAKED GIANTS, THE BEACHAM, FEB. 22

Matador Records mainstay Car Seat Headrest has been as much a blossoming as a breakout. What began as a modest solo project of Virginia’s Will Toledo has over the course of this decade become a total juggernaut. In concert, they’re now a major affair with mega personnel, production and following. On stage, they’re a seven-man force that also includes all members of opening band Naked Giants. It’s two drummers and guitars galore, bringing a sonic storm that now sits among live giants like And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead. There’s no more fitting way to truly render music of such symphonic rush and breathtaking scale. With this army, these songs rocket straight up through the stratosphere and explode with breathless dazzle like New Year’s Eve. Their performance is a headlong rush of melody, joy and climax. In keeping up with the music, the light show could’ve thrown the whole hall into seizure. Almost no one in indie rock right now shoots the horizon with as much horsepower and ragged exuberance as Car Seat Headrest. Stunning in gale and immensity, this once lo-fi DIY project could now translate in a stadium. Making their Orlando debut were Naked Giants, a rising young Seattle power trio who weren’t fucking around. They pack big-time power and don’t do foreplay. Their gutsy but dramatic open-

ing saw each player walk on one-by-one and drop right into full attack mode. First drums, then guitar, and finally bass. As soon as the third man was on, the unit clicked into top gear and was bull-kicking with maximum swagger. From there on, it was practically pedal flat till the glorious finish line. A wrecking ball of garage, punk and unchained rock & roll, Naked Giants are sort of a black sheep among the tasteful twang of the New West Records roster. But in these kids, they’ve got a white-hot meteor.

BILLY MARTIN, TIMUCUA WHITE HOUSE, FEB. 17

Even by the Civic Minded 5’s already exclusive standards, this was a special engagement. The heavyweight New York State jazz cabal of Karl Berger, Ingrid Sertso and Billy Martin recently descended on Orlando to mix it up and make a little noise around town. And of course, the CM5 and the Timucua Arts Foundation were in on the action. Although the three later did a great set with Sam Rivers’ longtime bassist Doug Mathews, this night’s main event was

Billy Martin, one of the most acclaimed and important percussionists of his generation. The legendary Medeski Martin & Wood drummer performed a suite of his newest solo work, Disappearing. Across nearly 45 nonstop minutes of beat and shake, he worked a wide-ranging palette, traversing a galaxy of percussion instruments in an adventure that was by turns mercurial, playful, seeking and hungry. He opened with a live-looped union that sounded like a dance between a wind chime orchestra and drums. In another captivating and much more elemental sequence, Martin explored the acoustical topography of the room through a tambourine and its interactions with the various mics in the room and the space itself. As he roamed around the stage, he made his way over to the piano and incorporated it into his set’s narrative. Beyond that were examinations with a panoply of other sounds and percussive media. But it was on the standard drum kit during the finale where Martin demonstrated his fiercest dynamics. Shifting intensity from quiet acrobatics to full blitzing alarm in whiplashing turns, the effect was both jarring and exhilarating. Rather than some extended drum solo or exhibition, Martin’s performance was a full musical journey, one far more expansive and interpretive than pop conceptions of rhythm. He never flinched in pushing it to the edge, perhaps knowing he always had a proven pocket to return to. It was bold in quest and experimentation with lots of on-the-spot inspiration, but always sparking with sophisticated flair. Seeing a master at work is always a delight. But seeing one on the high wire like this is a thrill. baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

Alterity Chamber Orchestra MUSIC

We welcome back local heavyweights Alterity Chamber Orchestra after an extended absence from the stage for an evening of new classical music dubbed “Reveries.” Alterity is lending their not inconsiderable skills to new works from Timo Andres, Tina Tallon, Jordan Nobles, Andrew Norman, Juan Andres Vergara Avilez and Chang Seok Choi – in other words, light years away from the usual dead-white-guy fare of classical bills. Notably, Mexican guitarist/composer Avilez and Korean composer Choi are both winners of the “Call for Scores” contest, and that’s a damn nice feel-good story in itself. Here’s to a another busy concert season for these deft boundary-pushers. – Matthew Moyer 7:30 p.m. | The Abbey, 100 S. Eola Drive | 407-704-6103 | abbeyorlando.com | $10-$20

Gin Blossoms MUSIC

Alt-rock refuses to fade, and a testament – or testaments – to that statement is Arizona band Gin Blossoms, who just keep chugging along, no matter what. And you can help keep alt-rock alive and well, too, by checking out the band as they tour through town on Thursday. If you didn’t manage to catch them at any point during their heyday in the ’1990s, here’s your opportunity to finally listen live to hits like “Hey Jealousy,” “Found About You” and “Allison Road” from their breakout album, New Miserable Experience. If you’re a ’90s kid – the kind who was actually around to fully appreciate the era of Bill Clinton, Beavis and Butt-Head and Zima – this is where you should be. – Xander Peters 7 p.m. | House of Blues, 1490 Buena Vista Drive | 407-934-2583 | hob.com/orlando | $22.75

Puddles Pity Party MUSIC

After some time away from the City Beautiful, everyone’s favorite (and most likely only) despondent 7-foot-tall clown is coming back to Orlando to sulkily serenade you with his golden voice. Backed by Postmodern Jukebox, Puddles sings melancholic covers of pop anthems from artists like Sia, ABBA, Queen and more. You might recognize him from season 12 of America’s Got Talent or his viral video covering Lorde’s “Royals.” His performances show how heart and soul can be seen in a person regardless of any costume they wear, but his act doesn’t just focus on sadness. Puddles brings in elements of humor in awkwardness and tender moments. – Elizabeth Gondar

ACFA Cat Show: Mardi Paws Gone Wild EVENTS

Looking for a purr-fect event for the weekend? We suggest the Mardi Paws Gone Wild cat show hosted by the American Cat Fanciers Association, where household cats, purebreds and kittens compete for national and regional titles. You can even meet the star cats and their owners. Feeling the urge to find a new friend? Candy’s Cat Rescue will have adoptable chonks, slonks and floofs on hand for you. This is an event for the whole family: Artist Don Nedobeck will be there on Sunday for a free photo op, along with Aaron the Mouse, which seems like an exceptionally poor decision for a mouse. – Sarah Cavacini 9 a.m.-4 p.m. | American Legion, 1912 Lee Road | 321-231-2436 | acfacat.com | $5

PHOTO BY MARK THOR

While many in the city were quick to embrace Orlando City as deliverers from Orlando’s great tradition of being bad at sports, last year’s worst-in-conference losing season is proof that that old Orlando unmagic is still around. The Lions kick off their season at home this week with a game against New York City FC. There’s been plenty of hype about Portuguese forward Nani and newly signed ex-Galaxy goalkeeper Brian Rowe, but we’ll have to wait and see if head coach James O’Connor can leverage them correctly. But if this season doesn’t work out for Orlando’s notoriously fair-weather fans, hey, there’s always the Apollos, right? – Thaddeus McCollum

Sunday, March 3

Molly Nilsson MUSIC

Swedish chanteuse Molly Nilsson doesn’t bring a backing band with her on tour. Rather, the ethereal-sounding synth-pop star stands alone onstage, singing along to a prerecorded backing track. (Sounds like karaoke, but no, it works.) Nilsson’s synth-soaked songs often feel both bleak and sweet, soundtracks to many a lonely 4 a.m. walk home. That isolation and melancholy is only enhanced by seeing Nilsson alone on stage, singing along to her own songs and captivating every eye in the house. Openers Lush Agave and Burnt Hair are the icing on the cake of this can’t-miss performance. – TM with Lush Agave, Burnt Hair | Will’s Pub, 1042 N. Mills Ave. | willspub.org | $12-$15

Speedy Ortiz MUSIC

A charged chemistry between the beloved familiar and the excitingly unpredictable has made Speedy Ortiz one of today’s most buzzing and pre-eminent names. Their recontextualization of both the art and muscle of 1990s indie rock for the now has made for some of this decade’s most literate and well-calibrated music. And on fronts both musical and lyrical, Sadie Dupuis and company are coming with an attack of increasing bluntness to meet the times eye to eye. Also featured on the bill are notable Chicago band Ohmme, whose 2018 debut album on Joyful Noise Recordings established them as a fresh emerging force on the avant-garde of pop and rock. Their thoughtful, dynamic interplay of voice, angle and noise is what happens when classically trained musicians buck scholarly convention and shoot for the edge. And if you aren’t familiar with local band TV Dinner, this is a big-name excuse to get in on one of the most noteworthy names in the current class of Orlando indie rock. – Bao Le-Huu with Ohmme, TV Dinner | 7 p.m. | Will’s Pub, 1042 N.

B Y D A N S AVA G E

I’m a gay guy in my late 40s with a straight sister in her early 50s. She’s been married for a bit over two decades to a guy who always registered as a “possible” on my average-togood gaydar. But I put “BIL,” aka my brotherin-law, in the “improbable” bucket because he actively wooed my sister, was clearly in love with her and fathered four boys with her (all in their late teens now). I’m sure you already saw this plot development coming: It turns out BIL has been far more “probable” than I thought. He has a boyfriend but is still very much closeted and denies he is gay. My sister has apparently known about this arrangement for four years, but has kept it a secret for the kids’ sake. But she recently filed for divorce and told our parents and me what’s been going on. Their kids have been informed about the divorce, but not about their father’s boyfriend. BIL needs to gay-man-up and admit the truth to himself and the rest of his family and start the healing process. That’s obvious. Unfortunately, there’s no way I can talk him into it (we’re not close), and my sister is left holding this terrible secret while her bewildered kids watch their parents’ marriage crumble with no clue why. I think the kids deserve the truth, and that neither my sister nor the kids can start to heal until that happens. If BIL won’t do the right thing, my sister is going to have to tell them the truth. What can I do to help her with this? She’s awfully fragile right now and I don’t want to pressure her and I can’t tell the kids without causing a big stink. But dammit, Dan, someone needs to start speaking some truth in that house. Dishonest Gay Brother-In-Law Secret second families – and a secret boyfriend of four years counts – aren’t secrets that keep. So your nephews are gonna find out about dad’s boyfriend sooner or later, DGBIL, and sooner is definitely better. Because in the absence of the actual reason why their parents are splitting up, they’re likely to come up with alternate explanations that are far worse. And when they inevitably discover the real reason, your nephews’ anger at having been lied to or left in the dark will reopen the wounds. Backing way the hell up: Seeing as BIL actively wooed and “was clearly in love with” your sister, and seeing as he successfully scrambled his DNA together with hers four times and remained married to her for two decades, DGBIL, I don’t think BIL is a closeted gay man. My money’s on closeted bisexual man. I shall now say something that will delight my bisexual readers: I’m sure you’d like to

live in a world where everyone is out, DGBIL, or, even better, a world where no one ever had to be in. But in the world we live in now, bisexuals are far less likely to be out than gays and lesbians, DGBIL, and the belief that a guy is either gay or straight keeps many bisexual guys closeted. Because a bisexual guy who’s married to a woman knows he’s going to be seen as gay if he tells the truth – and no one will ever believe he loved his wife or wanted all those kids – so he’s unlikely to ever come out. You can’t fault him for not being out, DGBIL, when it’s attitudes like yours that keep bi guys closeted in the first place. I shall now say something that will piss off my bisexual readers: A family-minded bi guy can have almost everything he wants – spouse, house, kids – without ever having to come out so long as that bi guy winds up with an opposite-sex partner. Coming out is a difficult conversation and it’s one many bi people choose to avoid. And who can blame them? I wasn’t thrilled by the idea of telling my mom I put dicks in my mouth, but it was a conversation I couldn’t avoid. Faced with the choice between telling my mother the truth and possibly being rejected by her and thereby losing her or cutting her out of my life in order to keep my secret and definitely losing her, I chose to tell her the truth. If I’d been, say, your average hetero-romantic bisexual man instead of a huge homo, I could’ve avoided coming out to her and very well might have. Back to your nephews, DGBIL: They should be told the truth but you shouldn’t be the one to tell them. Their parents should. Sit down with your sister and make the argument I did above: Yes, your kids are upset about the divorce and it will add to their upset to learn their father is in a relationship with a man. But they’re going to be angry about being lied to when they inevitably find out. And if she’s keeping this secret solely at BIL’s request, well, he can’t ask that of her if doing so will damage her relationship with her kids. I don’t think she should immediately out BIL, but she can and should let him know that she will have to tell the children if he doesn’t. You should have a conversation with BIL. Open it by telling him that life is long, marriages are complicated, and that you know he loved your sister. But he can’t hide from them. If he doesn’t want to tell his boys about his boyfriend because he fears he might lose them, DGBIL, then he’ll have to cut his kids out of his life – losing them for sure. And then butt the fuck out. I’m a 24-year-old lesbian and I’ve been dating my girlfriend for three years now.

She’s incredible but she isn’t completely out of the closet yet. I’ve been out since 2010. She’s only come out to a couple of her really close friends. I understand that everyone is different and it takes some people longer than others, but I can’t help the fact that it hurts my feelings. I don’t express this to her because I don’t want to be the reason she does something she’s not ready to. But at the same time, it’s killing me and she doesn’t even know it. We are compatible in every way possible: sexually, emotionally, spiritually. But I can’t help but feel she’s ashamed of me. I know that sounds selfish but I want someone who will scream my name from the rooftop. I bring her around all my friends, family and co-workers. She’s fully a part of my life and I feel like I’m never going to be fully a part of hers. What do I do? Set a time limit? She makes me so fucking happy but I’m starting to resent her for this and I don’t want to feel that way. Your thoughts, please! Being A Secret Hurts Every Day Two thoughts … No. 1: Your girlfriend is keeping a secret from her family and friends, BASHED, and she has to hide you to protect that secret. You’re keeping a secret from your girlfriend: Being treated like her dirtiest secret, is making you miserable. Tell her how you feel about being hidden – because she needs to know being hidden is making you miserable. And No. 2: “Don’t date closet cases” is one of my rules for out folks, BASHED, but there are exceptions to every rule. If an out person meets someone on their way out or someone who, for good reasons, can’t come out this minute (they’re dependent on bigoted parents) or possibly ever (they live in a part of the world where it’s too dangerous to be out), an out person can date a closeted person. But dating someone who can be out and isn’t and has no plans to come out? They’re not dating you, they’re dragging you back into the closet. Just say no.

Meet Tesla! Tesla (A422807) is an 8-yearold girl who is sweet, playful, and seems to be housebroken! She enjoys showing love and affection to people by giving kisses and even hugs. She does well with other dogs and even cats. Tesla was brought into our shelter in early February because her owners could no longer care for her. She is very well-behaved and ready to go home with a fur-ever family! All dogs are $55 and all cats are $40 to adopt. This low adoption price includes spay/neuter, basic vaccines and a microchip. Orange County Animal Services is located at 2769 Conroy Road in Orlando, Florida near the Mall at Millenia. The shelter is open 10 a.m. through 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from 1 p.m. through 5 p.m. Sunday. For more information, please call 407-836-3111 or visit ocnetpets.com.
