IT’S TIME FOR ORLANDO SKI AND TRAVEL CLUB’S TRIP SALES KICK OFF EVENT FOR 2019-2020 SEASON!

Readers react to stories from last week. On June 26, we published a photo showing a mother black skimmer bird feeding her baby chick a cigarette butt. The photo was uploaded to Facebook on June 24 by Karen Catbird of Largo, Florida. @Mark Doran This is not just the beach, folks! When at a stoplight, look around. It’s everywhere. Stick your butts where they belong, people. @Eric Johnson They sell ashtrays that fit in a cupholder for less than $2 apiece. If you smoke there is no reason why you shouldn’t have one with you in your vehicle or in a bag at the beach. This is just lazy dickheads that don’t care! @Lynn Ronan Smokers think the Earth is their ashtray. On June 27, we reported that an Indiana girl had contracted vibrio vulnificus on a Florida beach, a soft-tissue infection which led to necrotizing fasciitis, aka the flesheating bacteria. Confirmed cases of vibrio vulnificus in the Sunshine State have risen in recent years, according to data from the Florida Department of Health.

@Maga Gui This is probably one of my greatest fears. I thought you could only get bacteria in lakes, springs or ponds, not in salt water. @John Morrison While saltwater inhibits some bacteria, it is a breeding ground for all kinds of others. Especially when you live in a state that has little regard for dumping sewage, nitrate fertilizer, and industrial runoff into our public waters, all of which are like steroids for these bacteria.

ORLANDO SKI & TRAVEL CLUB

On June 26, we reported that a black bear was found dead on west I-4 near John Young Parkway. Orlando police said they spotted the black bear around 5 a.m. Though it seems most likely that it was hit by a car, they remain unsure about how exactly it met its untimely demise. @Michelle Chambers-Lewis He was in our community last week and the official word was to leave him alone and he will make his way home. I wish they could have just gone and relocated him. RIP to our bear friend. @Min Jeremy Yang My condolences to the bear and his/her family. @Crisanda Bravo Poor baby. They have run out of safe space.

WATCHING DEMOCRACY DIE, PART 1 The American experiment is more fragile than you think, and it’s not just about Trump BY JE FFREY C. BILL M A N

As it turns out, it was a bad almost unheard of, judicial appointments week to be reading a book called How Democracies Die. The 2018 tome by Harvard political scientists Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt presents case studies of how democratic governments throughout history have fallen to authoritarian regimes as a warning that the 230-year-old American experiment is more fragile than we think. To my mind, two recent events reinforced the book’s premise. But more than that, they made me wonder if we’ve not just reached the precipice but, in fact, already jumped. Before we get there, we need to fully understand what that premise is. And, try as I might, 305 pages on two centuries of political history proved impossible to effectively summarize in a paragraph or two. So instead, I’m splitting this column into two parts. This week, we’ll look at how we got here. Next week, we’ll explore the two stories that have left me uneasy about the fate of our democracy. Ready? Here we go. A simplified version of Levitsky and Ziblatt’s premise goes something like this: There’s nothing magical about the U.S. Constitution. Other countries have copied it, sometimes word for word, and collapsed. Indeed, in its early days, when political factions arose that were deeply distrustful of each other, the U.S. almost did, too. What held us together was a set of informal norms, an unspoken agreement that the two political parties would share power and the branches of government wouldn’t exploit the Constitution’s ambiguities to their own ends. That worked (for the white ruling class, anyway) until the Civil War, and again after Reconstruction. Parties competed for power, but they weren’t ideologically coherent. Democrats included Southern white supremacists as well as New Deal progressives. Republicans included Northern liberals as well as Midwestern conservatives. Evangelical voters split between parties. Parties squabbled over taxes and spending, but rarely descended into the gutter. Congress was collegial. Filibusters were

rarely blocked. And voters often split their tickets. Then came the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act, which, over the next generation, drove Southern whites to the GOP and racial liberals to the Democrats; a subsequent wave of immigration from Latin America and Asia made the Republicans even more reliant on white votes. Around the same time came Roe v. Wade and other culture wars, and the religious right became a central part of the Republican majority. Politics was now linked to worldview, not banal issues like taxes. It didn’t take long for the Party of Lincoln to become a white, evangelical, increasingly conservative movement, radicalized by the reinforcing methamphetamine of Fox News and talk radio. Top all of that off with “status anxiety” – an idea first described in 1964 by historian Richard Hofstadter, in which a once-dominant group is losing its majority status, leading to an “overheated, oversuspicious, overaggressive, grandiose, and apocalyptic” style of politics – and what’s transpired over the 30 years has been predictable. Led by Newt Gingrich and Tom DeLay, Republicans played hardball against Bill Clinton, eventually impeaching him over a relatively minor offense when other investigations proved fruitless. When George W. Bush won a disputed election, they eschewed bipartisanship and abandoned oversight of disastrous wars; Senate Democrats began retaliating by jamming Bush’s judicial appointments. American politics has always had its kooks, both left and right. But they’d always been kept to the fringes. Until, that is, Barack Obama came to power, and the Republicans fully embraced the Tea Party. The inmates took over the asylum, and the GOP was all too happy to try to delegitimize its opponent: He was a Marxist, a Muslim, a terrorist sympathizer, an anti-American, maybe not even an American at all. Obama, of course, was none of those things. He was a centrist Democrat who inherited a financial crisis. But the Republicans who were in power, listening to their base, refused any attempt to

address the recession. Then they tried to block health care reform – and everything else. They held up judges. They tolerated no compromise among their ranks. They shut down the government and nearly led the country into a default. And they discovered that being the Party of No was politically effective. Again, the Democrats retaliated, breaking their own norms. Throughout his second term, Obama governed largely by executive order; Democrats eliminated the Senate filibuster for most judicial appointments. Then, in February 2016, Antonin Scalia died, and the escalation continued. Mitch McConnell decided that the Senate wouldn’t allow Obama to fill his seat on the Supreme Court, the first time since Reconstruction that a president had been denied the chance to fill such a vacancy. This was, in effect, a declaration that norms were irrelevant and winning was everything. The opposing party wasn’t just a rival; it was an enemy. The ends justified the means, and maintaining power was all that mattered. That attitude was on display last week in Oregon, where the state’s Republican senators fled, some with the protection of armed militia, to deny the Democratic majority a quorum to pass a cap-and-trade bill; more on that in part 2. Then came Donald Trump, a man with no use for norms or even the rule of law. Even with evidence of corruption and obstruction of justice well surpassing that which toppled Richard Nixon, McConnell’s Senate – and for the first two years of Trump’s administration, the GOP-led House – has refused to conduct meaningful oversight. Instead, McConnell ditched the filibuster on Supreme Court nominees – another norm gone – to confirm two right-wing justices who last week gave Republican legislatures carte blanche to keep gerrymandering themselves into power; more on that in part 2, as well. As Levitsky and Ziblatt put it: “The mounting assault on norms of mutual tolerance and forbearance – mostly, though not entirely by Republicans – has eroded the soft guardrails that long protected us from the kind of partisan fight to the death that has destroyed democracies in other parts of the world.” As we’ll see, the journey from “eroded” to “extinguished” might not be that far off. feedback@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

Texting while driving is illegal in Florida, more than 18,000 acres of the Everglades burned in a wildfire, Virgin Trains plays coy about possibility of a Disney stop, and other news you may have missed last week. »

Rep. Anna Eskamani calls on state attorney to drop case of woman arrested for turning in husband’s guns to police: State Rep. Anna Eskamani is calling on State Attorney Brian Haas to drop the case against Polk County resident Courtney Irby, who’s facing felony burglary charges after she turned in her allegedly abusive husband’s firearms to police. The two were in the process of a divorce, records show, and Irby had applied for a temporary injunction against her estranged husband after he was arrested for trying to run her over with a car. Despite the fact that a judge ordered Joseph Irby to surrender his guns and he had not complied with the order, Lakeland Police officers told Courtney Irby she had “committed an armed burglary.”

Texting while driving is officially illegal in Florida as of July 1, but it’s a pretty toothless law: The law makes texting and driving a primary offense, but surprisingly, there are a lot of loopholes to get drivers out of tickets. For instance, drivers may use their phones at stoplights or stop signs, and it’s legal to use mapping apps. So the officer must have proof that the driver was illegally texting and driving, which means checking outgoing and incoming texts. But if the driver refuses to hand over their phone to the officer, the driver then has the right to go.

More than 18,000 acres of the Florida Everglades burned in not quite 48 hours: For nearly two days last week, roughly 18,500 acres of the Everglades blazed after lightning ignited a fire around 6 p.m. Sunday, officials say. According to the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions, large wildfires in the U.S. on average burn more than twice the area than they did in 1970 due to the ongoing effects of our climate crisis. Since 2000, 11 forest fires occurred across the U.S. that caused at least $1 billion in damages apiece.

Virgin Trains USA stays silent on possible Disney and SunRail connections in Orlando: Virgin Trains USA broke ground last week on 170 miles of new track connecting West Palm Beach to the new South Terminal C at Orlando International Airport. Missing from the ceremonious event, however, was any mention of Disney, or of a possible connection to SunRail and other forms of transportation. Virgin previously suggested the possibility of stops at Disney, but since then, Virgin representatives have stayed mum.

Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer highlights tech innovation, sustainability efforts during 2019 State of the City address: In his speech, Mayor Buddy Dyer stressed the city’s progress in becoming “America’s premier future-ready city,” referring to the use of 5G technology to enable initiatives such as self-driving buses in Lake Nona, plans to add 100 electric vehicle charging stations, and the goal to convert the city’s fleet of cars and buses to electric by 2020. Dyer also noted the city’s pledge to use 100 percent renewable energy for city buildings by 2030 and 100 percent renewable energy citywide by 2050. orlandoweekly.com

SHARPIEIN-CHIEF As Gov. Ron DeSantis scrambles to meet the July 11 sign-or-veto date, here are a few of the flurry of bills signed into law last week Wednesday, June 26: Gov. Ron DeSantis

signed 15 bills, including a measure that allows needleexchange programs across the state and a plan to help curb human trafficking. The needle-exchange bill (SB 366) is aimed at preventing the spread of diseases such as HIV by intravenous drug users and builds off a Miami-Dade County pilot program that lawmakers authorized in 2016. Lawmakers were told this spring that the pilot, run by the University of Miami, had taken 275,000 used syringes off the streets. The bill will allow county commissions throughout the state to approve needle-exchange programs. Past proposals to allow the programs outside of MiamiDade County failed. But this year’s bill was unanimously approved by the Senate and drew only three dissenting votes in the House. During the legislative session, Sen. Dennis Baxley, R-Ocala, said he initially feared that the proposal could create more addiction by supporting “negative” habits.” But before voting for the bill, he said the initiative was “truly building a health intervention.” While a big part of the reason for the Miami-Dade pilot was trying to reduce the spread of HIV and other diseases, supporters said it also has played an important role in battling the state’s opioid crisis. Advocates told lawmakers that the program had helped reverse 1,100 opioid overdoses through use of the drug Narcan. An early iteration of this year’s legislation would have allowed the use of tax dollars to help fund the needle-exchange programs, but House Speaker Jose Oliva, R-Miami Lakes, objected. Lawmakers ultimately did not allow the use of state or county money for the programs, which can receive private funds. DeSantis also signed on Wednesday a measure (HB 851) to toughen human-trafficking laws. The bill includes creating a database of people convicted of soliciting prostitution and placing new requirements on the operation of massage parlors, strip clubs and hotels. “This law sends a powerful message to traffickers and pimps: The state of Florida is closed for business,” Book said in a statement issued after the signing was announced. “When we curb the demand for the illegal sale and purchase of sex, we also curb the profitability of human trafficking – and take a stand against the enslavement of men, women and children in communities across our state.”

DeSantis on Wednesday also traveled to Tampa to sign a bill that will offer alternative treatment options to U.S. military veterans with traumatic brain injuries or posttraumatic stress disorder. The bill (HB 501) will allow the Florida Department of Veterans’ Affairs to contract with a state university or Florida College System institution to provide the following alternative treatment options: accelerated resolution therapy, equine therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, music therapy, and service animal training therapy. DeSantis, who served in the Navy, said he’s long supported alternative-treatment concepts, such as training dogs to work with veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. DeSantis, who held a bill-signing ceremony at the University of South Florida Office of Veteran Success, said he pushed for alternative treatments while serving in Congress. “The people that would go in the VA (U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs), literally it would be they would get counseling and they would get prescription medication,” DeSantis said. “So, we had veterans that commit suicide on the back end of that. I spoke with family members, and they really believed that was not the proper treatment.”

Tuesday, June 25: Among the bills signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis Tuesday was a plan to kickstart a state hemp industry. SB 1020 creates a state hemp program that will be administered by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, which will regulate hemp cultivation and address issues like the licensing of growers. Lawmakers passed the bill to take advantage of a 2018 federal law that legalized industrial hemp as an agricultural product. Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried’s goal is to have a set of rules published in July, with the hemp program running by the end of the year.

Monday, June 24: A measure that would

allow attorneys for the state to have access to a prescription-drug database as they pursue a lawsuit against the pharmaceutical industry over the opioid epidemic was

among 10 bills signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis. Also signed was a bill (SB 82) that will prevent local governments from passing rules against homeowners’ vegetable gardens. The signings came less than a week before all 10 of the bills will take effect July 1. The drug database law (HB 1253) was a priority during this year’s legislative session of Attorney General Ashley Moody, who considered access to the records a critical weapon in the state’s lawsuit against the pharmaceutical industry. The law allows lawyers working for the state to have access to information in a database that was created to prevent “doctor shopping” by drug addicts and traffickers. Moody told lawmakers during the session the information in the database is needed to demonstrate that highly addictive prescription drugs “were being recklessly distributed.” “Those who helped fuel this man-made crisis must be held accountable, and this new law will help us do that,” Moody said in a prepared statement last Tuesday. The legislation faced some backlash, including about a need to protect patient privacy, an issue that has surrounded the database, known as the “PDMP,” since its inception a decade ago. The database contains patient-specific information about prescribing and dispensing controlled substances, the prescriptions that doctors order and prescriptions filled by pharmacies. To ease privacy concerns, the bill contains limits on the information Moody’s office can receive and includes safeguards regarding court-issued protective orders and destruction of the information from the database after it has been used. The attorney general’s office last year filed the lawsuit to try to recoup millions of dollars the state has spent because of the opioid epidemic. The lawsuit was filed against manufacturers, distributors and sellers of opioids and includes a series of allegations, including misrepresentation about opioid use and filling suspicious orders for the drugs. The database legislation was considered a quicker route than going to court to try to get such information, which Moody’s office believed could have created a years-long delay and increased the costs to the state. The bill about homeowners’ vegetable gardens stemmed from a dispute between homeowners Hermine Ricketts and Laurence Carroll and the village of Miami Shores over an ordinance that banned front-yard vegetable gardens. The couple had maintained a front-yard garden for nearly two decades but uprooted their vegetables when faced with the possibility of fines. They challenged the constitutionality of the ordinance but lost in court, with the Florida Supreme Court declining to take up the issue. House bill sponsor Elizabeth Fetterhoff, R-DeLand, said during the session the legislation involves fundamental rights and that government has “no business” telling Floridians they can’t grow their own food, no matter where they live. Ana Ceballos, Jim Saunders, Christine Sexton and Jim Turner of the Florida News Service wrote this compiled report.

JULY 3-9, 2019 ● ORLANDO WEEKLY

An updated list (in no particular order!) of things every person who lives in Orlando should do at least once. 1. Visit the Billy Manes memorial mural at Burton’s (801 E. Washington St.) and bask in the radiance.

8. Go to an improv show at SAK Comedy Lab, but don’t sit in the front unless you like public humiliation (29 S. Orange Ave., sak.com).

2. Create classic Orlando food combos that should exist but don’t, like Chuan Lu la zi chicken on a Lazy Moon pizza slice, or Black Rooster’s pork-fat taco atop a bowl of Pho 88 rice vermicelli.

9. Visit the Cassadaga Spiritualist

3. Take a date on a swan boat tour of Lake Eola (boat rentals are in the park near South Rosalind Street and East Robinson Avenue).

10. Lose yourself in the visceral, testosterone-chugging, fossil fuelincinerating joy of Monster Jam, every January at Camping World Stadium (campingworldstadium. com).

4. Take advantage of MAYL, the

OCLS home delivery service. That’s right, the Orange County Library System will actually deliver books to your front door for no charge (ocls. info).

5. Go to the new Discover

Downtown, the renovated information center (201 S. Orange Ave.) and shop for O-town swag by local makers, like coloring books, plush stuffed swans, and hats and T-shirts.

6. Arrive early enough to grab a front-row couch seat while doing dinner and a movie at the Enzian (1300 S. Orlando Ave., Maitland, enzian.org). 7. Plan your own SunRail pub crawl:

Start by hitting a bar or two in downtown Orlando, ride the rail up to Winter Park, then head to Sanford where SunRail is a short Uber ride away from the bars and restaurants along First Street. Don’t forget to stop drinking in time to catch the last train home. (sunrail.com)

Camp (cassadaga.org) to get your tarot and/or aura read, shop for crystal balls, take a ghost tour, and perch on the Devil’s Chair. A more unique day trip is impossible to find.

11. Creep yourself out at the Orange County Regional History Center (65 E. Colonial Blvd., thehistorycenter. org) by gazing upon Ted Bundy’s name carved into a desk, supposedly by Bundy himself as he was tried in the Orange County Courthouse for the murder of Kimberly Leach.

12. While you’re there, pay your respects to Julius “July” Perry, the 1920 lynching victim who received a commemorative marker in Heritage Square this year. 13. ALSO while you’re there,

donate a buck or two to get Billy the Swan restuffed. Billy was one of the original Orlando swans, back when they swam in Lake Lucerne, not Lake Eola, and he ruled the roost from 1910 to 1933. After his death he was stuffed, but has since fallen into disrepair and, according to the History Center, “he will need a specialist in historical taxidermy to bring him back to his former glory.”

ORLANDO WEEKLY ● JULY 3-9, 2019 ● orlandoweekly.com

14. Speaking of taxidermy, read local author Kristen Arnett’s Mostly Dead Things (tinhouse.com), a novel about love and taxidermy. She’s headed for the big time and you’ll be able to say you read the Orlando native’s work way back when. 15. Kayak a bioluminescent lagoon. In the summer through early fall, the Indian River and Mosquito Lagoon near Titusville are full of bioluminescence after dark – every movement in the water produces an eerie, sparkly light. 16. Pay your respects to the 49

victims of the mass shooting at the gay nightclub Pulse (1912 S. Orange Ave.). Dozens of people visit this site every day to bring flowers, teddy bears, balloons and even painted rocks. But please, no smiling selfies.

17. Go to an Orlando Pride soc-

cer game, our team in the National Women’s Soccer League. Starring the A-team of Ali Krieger, Ashlyn Harris and Alex Morgan, all members of the U.S. Women’s National Team, the club has set NWSL attendance records in our soccer-crazed town. (Season runs April-September; Exploria Stadium, 655 W. Church St., orlandocitysc.com)

18. Pop in a DVD or VHS of Orlando taekwondo legend and amateur filmmaker Y.K. Kim’s 1987 cult masterpiece Miami Connection. Revel in the songs of Dragon Sound and the over-the-top fight scenes, then record yourself reenacting key moments as they were filmed on the mean streets of Orlando (and send us the video).

19. Camp out in front of Park Ave CDs (2916 Corrine Drive, parkave cds.com) for Record Store Day in April for the most fun you’ll have in a queue in Orlando – with live music, comedy, food trucks, giveaways and more, it feels more like a party than a ridiculous waste of time. 20. Find a new show to love on the

Rollins College student-run radio station, WPRK (91.5 FM) – no longer “the best in basement radio” since they moved aboveground in 2019, but still the best. Also, one of the last surviving terrestrial student stations in the country.

21. Attend Orlando’s epic and outrageously colorful Come Out With Pride parade (comeoutwithpride. com). 22. Browse acres of antiques at one

of Renninger’s Antiques Center’s multiple extravaganza events (20651 U.S. 441, Mount Dora; renningers. net). Start out on the sprawling lawn and then work your way up to the impressive collections housed in two separate buildings.

23. Throw away your umbrella and get soaked on purpose during the inevitable summer-afternoon downpour.

24. Take a pedicab back to your car after partying downtown; admire your driver’s calves. 25. Argue over where College Park

begins and ends with another longtime resident, but don’t even get into the whole Mills 50/Colonialtown/ ViMi thing.

26. Go to a reading at the Kerouac

House (kerouacproject.org) and see the unassuming College Park room where Dharma Bums was written.

27. Get some culture while smashing a cocktail: Take a happy-hour tour of the stunning collection of contemporary art at the Alfond Inn (300 E. New England Ave., Winter Park, thealfondinn.com). 28. Instead of taking the bor-

ing way around, do/see/ride all the Harry Potter attractions at Universal Orlando (6000 Universal Blvd., universalorlando.com) in the order of Harry’s journey in the books: Gringotts Money Exchange to Diagon Alley to the Hogwarts Express and so on and so forth for seven damn books.

29. Discover the impossibly sce-

nic nearby oasis that is Orlando Wetlands Park (25155 Wheeler Road, Christmas, orlandowetlands.org), a breathtaking wildlife preserve and one of Central Florida’s most picturesque parks.

30. Get dressed up and do dinner

and a show, all on the same block: See a play at Mad Cow Theatre (54 W. Church St., madcowtheatre.com) and eat a swanky supper afterward just steps away at Kres Chophouse, the Rusty Spoon or ... Jersey Mike’s Subs (no judgment!).

31. Learn Spanish. Whether you’re

reading a menu, listening to the radio or helping someone with directions, it’s time to stop pretending that Florida is a monolingual state.

32. Take a leisurely 45-minute trip east on picturesque Colonial Drive to get your Christmas cards postmarked in Christmas, Florida.

33. See as many movies as you can at the Florida Film Festival, almost three decades old and still going strong (floridafilmfestival.com). 34. Ride an airboat and gawk

at gators at Black Hammock Adventures (2356 Black Hammock Fish Camp Road, Oviedo, theblack hammock.com). Riding airboats is a quintessentially Central Floridian activity, as is slugging a few beers after your experience.

35. Buy plants from Leu Gardens (1920 N. Forest Ave., leugardens.org) at their annual plant sale, a massive flora and fauna bonanza that takes place every March. Spend some time exploring the gorgeous formal gardens while you’re there. 36. Order your Pub sub online (at

publix.com) and scoff at the crowd in line as you stroll in and pick it up with no waiting. Follow @PubSubs_ on_sale on Twitter so you always know when there’s a bargain.

37. Watch a rocket blast off into

space at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex (Kennedy Space Center, State Road 405, Titusville, kennedyspacecenter.com). Make sure you reserve a spot early because tickets go quickly for this jaw-dropping, awe-inspiring event.

38. Feed a fuzzy giraffe or a cuddly sloth at the Central Florida Zoo & Botanical Gardens (3755 NW Highway 17-92, Sanford, central floridazoo.org) from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily. 39. Get married at the Acre (4421

Edgewater Drive, theacreorlando. com), one of the coolest wedding venues in Orlando – or just wait for someone to invite you to their wedding there.

40. Remember why Shakespeare is known as the greatest Englishlanguage writer in history by experiencing one of his plays, transformed and performed by the 30-year-old Orlando Shakespeare Theater company (812 E. Rollins St., orlandoshakes.org).

Carrot Top on his Vespa in Winter Park traffic.

41. Take the Lake Apopka Wildlife

47. Attend a show by our city’s scrappiest and punkest indie wrestling federation, Mayhem on Mills, boasting the best and strangest of our area wrestling scene. Absurdity and athleticism and alcohol have never been so perfectly balanced.

Drive, a two-hour self-guided tour that will lead you through 11 miles of nature preserve where you will definitely see at least a majority of the area’s 362 species of birds here as well as alligators, bobcats, otters, and other wildlife. (sjrwmd.com)

42. Plan an East End Market food

crawl: What with hyperlocal Bird of Paradise, Lineage Coffee, cheesemonger La Femme du Fromage, ramen house and bar Domu, healthy breakfasteers Farm-Haus, Skyebird’s raw foods, the carnivorous delights from Hinckley’s Fancy Meats and the half-pound, chip-studded insanity that is a cookie from Gideon’s Bakehouse, there’s almost too much to choose from (3201 Corrine Drive, eastendmkt.com).

“DAVID: THE KING ON JERUSALEM” AT THE HOLY LAND EXPERIENCE | PHOTO BY SETH KUBERSKY

Everyone is buzzing about new

blockbuster expansions at Disney and Universal, but another Central Florida theme park recently debuted a major addition that might have slipped under the radar of even the most ardent attractions fans. Most Orlando Weekly readers probably only think about the Holy Land Experience when it grabs headlines and snarls traffic with its annual legally mandated free admission day. But the 18-year-old Christian-themed attraction, which already exhibits some of our area’s most ancient artifacts, is now also home to the newest and most extravagant stage show in town. While HLE was opened in 2001 by Zion’s Hope founder Marvin Rosenthal, and was originally controversial for its association with attempts to convert Jews to Christianity, the park has been owned for over a decade by Trinity Broadcasting Network, the self-described “largest Christian television network in the world.” TBN CEO Jan Crouch was responsible for redecorating the historically authentic attraction with displays that could charitably be described as over-the-top, including an infamous motorcycle-riding Jesus with whom guests could snap selfies. Thankfully, the tackiest additions have mostly been removed since Crouch’s passing in 2016, and the park is turning a new leaf by billing itself as the “all new” Holy Land Experience. Late last month, I was invited out to the Holy Land Experience for a special “friends and family” performance of David: The King of Jerusalem, an epic three-act musical that is the centerpiece of the park’s new daily entertainment schedule. It had been several years since I’d visited HLE, and walking past replicas of the Qumran and Solomon’s Temple reminded me that the exquisite scenic design was executed by some of the same artists that built Islands of Adventure. And the 2,000-seat Church of Nations auditorium, which looks like a Roman Colosseum that crash-landed on the

The Holy Land Experience’s new extravaganza gives believers a bit of Broadway on their way to the Promised Land. Las Vegas Strip, is easily the largest, most technologically advanced theater in any local theme park, from the massive curved video wall that forms the upstage cyclorama to the state-of-the-art sound system with soul-shaking subwoofers that you can feel through the steeply raked stadium seats. David: The King of Jerusalem tells the Old Testament tale of Israel’s iconic monarch through three stages of his life, flashing back and forth through time as the aging ruler reflects on his childhood and early reign. All the familiar fables – slaying Goliath with a slingshot, soothing King Saul with his lyre, and seducing the beautiful Bathsheba – are brought to life through an original contemporary Christian musical score, custom-filmed cinematic vignettes, and an on-stage ensemble of more than 40 performers, making David the most opulent Biblical epic brought to Orlando since BenHur folded nearly 20 years ago. This ambitious production, along with the rest of the new entertainment being added to the Holy Land Experience, is the brainchild of Robert and Elizabeth Muren, who visited with members of the media during the intermission. The couple, who met in Norway and spent a decade living in Israel before touring the world with religious musicals, not only co-wrote and co-directed the production; he stars as the elder David, while she plays Bathsheba, and their four children help fill out the cast. She’s been serving as the park’s artistic director for about a year. The family splits

their time between Florida and Colorado, where this show originally premiered and where many members of the current cast come from. “It’s a great place, a wonderful environment,” Robert says of Orlando. “There’s so many talented, wonderful, gifted actors.” The sprawling story of King David has stymied some great composers over the years (including Alan Menken and Tim Rice), and although the Murens’ version clearly represents a sincere act of faith, it isn’t fully successful as a work of theater. The simplistic lyrics are largely lifted from the Book of Psalms, and the score repeatedly reprises its handful of tunes (some of which sound suspiciously familiar), burying the basic melodies under string-saturated backing tracks. Most of the actors are excellent – especially Elizabeth, who brings emotional honesty to her underdeveloped character, along with a few faces that will be familiar to Fringe patrons – but Robert’s extravagant over-emoting quickly becomes distracting, as does the alphabet soup of incomprehensible international accents among the cast. As a Jew, I’m obviously not the target audience for this Christian-centric production, so I can overlook the patronizing appropriation of my faith’s traditions as mere prologue to messianic prophecy. As an amateur theologian, I could object to the oversimplified depiction of David’s repentance and redemption, which makes him seem more like a paragon of piety than a cautionary tale of hubris. On the plus side, this script doesn’t blame Bathsheba for her husband’s murder and her own rape, as some misogynist retellings imply. The biggest problem with David is that, despite first-class production values, as drama it often feels static and lifeless. Aside from a brief, baffling Bollywood number, there’s virtually no movement on stage; the actors are mostly blocked to stand still and stare out into the audience, making the video backdrop far more kinetic than the live performers. And at almost three hours, it’s a chore to sit through the entire production. Luckily, regular guests get to experience David divided into parts, with other interactive performances interspersed in between. It might not have inspired me to book a flight on El Al, but at least the Murens’ new musical gives believers a bit of Broadway on their way to the Promised Land. skubersky@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

LIKE A BOOT TO THE HEAD F&D kicks it with solid classics from across Italy BY FAIYAZ KARA

ood memories can make powerful and evocative souvenirs, but when they dabble in games of trickery, well, they can be a bit vexing. Or amusing. But in this case mainly vexing. I speak of mussels – “black iron mussels,” to be exact – steaming the air inside the snuggly confines of F&D Woodfired Italian Kitchen. The lustrous shells, salted and served in a circular skillet with melted butter and lemons ($15), harp-music’ed me back to the streets of Istanbul and the sight of vendors hawking mussels from large round trays. To the unsuspecting tourist, the mussels look like they’ve been steamed and squirted with a simple squeeze of lemon, but not so. Those black beauts of the Bosphorus are, in fact, stuffed with a spiced and fragrant rice mixture that’ll have you scoffing at other

mussel preparations – meunière, marinières or otherwise. So, for a fleeting moment, the possibility of these bivalves being stuffed with a memorably aromatic blend of basmati was all too real. That they weren’t was by no means an indictment of the dish – we quite enjoyed these mussels, in fact – but, rather, an indictment of my hippocampus. It’s just a lot of power for one memory to wield, and, after watching my dining comrade devour slice after slice of margherita ($13) and fennel sausage and rapini ($15) pie, I could sense future memories forming in his pizzaravaged brain. On another visit, my wife and her friend plowed through a margherita pie in seconds and, from the depths of the red Valoriani pizza oven, a sinister guffaw bellowed out

of its fire-breathing mouth (which might’ve explained the overly charred – OK, burnt – section of crust). It’s not that F&D makes Bottura-like strides in its cuisine or anything, but it’s got a good handle on the comforts of familiar Italian fare, and it appears that’s exactly what Hourglasswegians want: yielding meatballs of Italian sausage and pangrattato (that’s breadcrumbs) in a sweetish marinara ($12 for three); thin-ribboned cacio e pepe with Italian pork ($16); a wild mushroom pappardelle in a lovely porcini cream sauce ($13). Night after night, folks seat themselves at mismatched tables and indulge in F&D’s rustic eats with a Peroni ($5) or pear-infused chardonnay sangria ($7). That pasta, BTW, is procured from local noodle maestros Trevi, and the porchetta in the pignola ala porchetta ($13) – a salad of arugula, pine nuts and grana padano in a sherry vinaigrette – is from Italian charcuterie company Levoni, who’ve recently launched into the U.S. market. It’s all worth lingering over, and linger we did (or at least we tried to) over dessert. We made a concerted effort to make every orlandoweekly.com

forkful of lemony “grandma’s cake” ($8) and its shortbread crust last. It didn’t go so well. And like that pie-cake, the tiramisu disappeared almost as quickly as it materialized. So much for prolonging the moment. I might’ve even felt a pang of regret for scarfing, and not purposefully savoring, each bite that, like those mussels, led to a remembrance of things past. fkara@orlandoweekly.com

SOMMAR VACATION

Ari Aster’s sophomore outing is anything but a slump BY T HA DDEUS MCCOL LU M

ri Aster’s debut feature, Hereditary, was one of 2018’s best films, and one of the best movies to ever be completely snubbed by the Academy Awards. Plenty of people chalked that up to the fact that the Academy routinely overlooks horror as a genre, even though, for many, the current state of the genre is the best it’s been in decades. On the other hand, many fans of horror took issue with Hereditary even being called “horror” due to its slow, meditative nature. Be assured that Aster’s newest film, Midsommar, is going to inspire exactly the same arguments. The 140-minute movie – which, to its credit, almost feels too short – takes its time in establishing mood and character, and the actual “horrific” segments of the plot – murder, blood, gore, that kind of thing – occupy a mere fraction of that time. But the saddest thing that

could possibly happen with Midsommar is that horror fans don’t see it because it doesn’t fit their definition of horror, and film aesthetes don’t see it because they think it’s a traditional horror film. Midsommar opens by introducing us to Dani (Florence Pugh), a young woman currently concerned about the mental state of her sister. After she reaches out to her grad-student boyfriend, Christian (Jack Reynor), we learn that Christian – goaded on by his friends – is looking for a way to get out of his relationship with Dani. But when tragedy strikes, the breakup gets pushed off – then pushed off again when Christian invites Dani on a trip to rural Sweden with his bros to observe a midsummer festival. Anyone who’s let a relationship continue after it’s gone sour or gone on a trip together out of a sense of romantic stubbornness will recognize the

horror inherent in these situations. Meanwhile, Midsommar keeps most of the actual blood-and-guts horror offscreen. Characters disappear, but the super-friendly Swedish pagans have perfectly reasonable explanations for it. There is a bloody ritual near the beginning of the celebration, but those who die are volunteers, not victims. In fact, without the (really negligible, from a body count standpoint) murders, Midsommar would be a great film about participant observation in anthropology. Aster proved with Hereditary that he knows how to direct a female lead – still waiting for Toni Collette to get the respect she deserves for her role in that one – and Florence Pugh similarly nails her part here. Whether she’s in the throes of grief, trying not to be a “bitchy” girlfriend but also being hurt by her boyfriend’s disinterest in her perspective, or keeping friends and strangers at arm’s length even though she kind of knows that she really needs love and acceptance to deal with her trauma, Pugh’s performance is nuanced, sympathetic and completely believable. By the time she’s involved in a dancing competition to see who will be crowned the May Queen, we’re all rooting for her to win. And even in the bizarre aftermath of the May Queen ritual, we’re still rooting for her, though in a much more macabre sense. The frequent use of psychedelics by the characters in the film give Aster free reign to create some amazingly beautiful shots and edits. The trippiness is much more relatable to real-life psychedelic experiences than, say Terry Gilliam’s laughable interpretation of being under the influence in the overrated Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Trees breathe, flowers bloom, people’s faces grin a little too broadly. No one turns into a lizard. With any luck, Midsommar will become the new movie for college-aged youth to watch while experimenting with their hallucinogens. God knows they’ll get more out of it. tmccollum@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

THE PROFESSIONALS AT ORLANDO FOOT & ANKLE CLINIC ARE COMMITTED TO STEPPING UP THEIR GAME! While a foot or ankle injury can make it difficult to get around, Orlando Foot and Ankle Clinic offers 18 convenient locations across Central Florida. Whether you’ve injured your foot or ankle on a morning jog or are facing serious issues due to a medical condition, the experts at Orlando Foot & Ankle Clinic aim to provide high quality and cost-effective care for their patients. As one of the oldest and largest practices in the area, Orlando Foot & Ankle Clinic is the professional home to some of the best practitioners in the country. One of whom is Dr. Christopher Reeves, a board-certified foot and ankle surgeon and the current president of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons. “To be recognized as a leader in foot and ankle surgery is a true honor and one that I am extremely proud of,” says Dr. Reeves, who developed an interest in the specialization through family connections in the medical field and during his time as a college baseball player. “As far as Orlando Foot & Ankle Clinic goes, this is a just another way to carry on our brand recognition. We are well known in our community for delivering high quality, state-of-the-art medical and surgical care, and this honor should continue to solidify that reputation.” Dr. Reeves treats patients at Orlando Foot & Ankle Clinic’s Winter Park, Waterford Lakes and Downtown Orlando locations. However, patients throughout Central Florida can easily find an experienced medical professional at any of the practices’ 18 clinics throughout Brevard, Lake, Osceola, Orange, Seminole and Volusia counties. Across these locations, the medical center has a dedicated team of 16 clinical/surgical doctors, a surgical hospitalist, two mobile-care doctors and two floating doctors on staff. These caregivers are trained nationally, and some internationally, with over four decades of combined experience among them, which also attracts patients from out of state, Dr. Christopher Reeves says. While Orlando Foot & Ankle Clinic cares for patients of all ages, the typical patient is between 35 and 65. Usually patients’ ailments include wound care, ingrown toenails, heel pain, general foot pain, sprained or strained ankles, and broken bones. The doctors at Orlando Foot & Ankle also help salvage limbs and correct deformities for complex diabetic patients, improve conditions for those dealing with arthritis, and reconstruct deformities caused by neurological issues in patients who have suffered conditions such as stroke. Competitive and weekend athletes can also experience improved rehabilitation 30

and can return to their activities quicker after receiving care for complex injuries and ankle stabilization. Dr. Christopher Reeves is most passionate about total ankle replacement surgery, a procedure he says a very limited number of physicians perform across the country. Thanks to recent advancements in technology, Dr. Reeves says the procedure has become easier and more effective. Implants are now more customizable and are made out of newly developed materials, which make it easier to join implants to bones. Portions of implants can also be switched out, rather than replacing the whole thing. “The foot and ankle are complex with numerous structures all working together, and seeing a patient walk pain free or deformity free for the first time in years is quite rewarding,” Dr. Reeves says. “It’s meaningful to see the difference and effect we are able to make in our patients’ lives — and often times it’s done quickly.” If you opt for treatment at one of Orlando Foot & Ankle Clinic’s many facilities, what can you expect? A professional experience before, during and after you receive care that is based on cutting-edge procedures. Beyond completing annual Continuing Medical Education courses, the practice’s physicians remain committed to advancing their knowledge in the field through weekly staff debriefing meetings. “These meetings empower our staff to the appropriate level regarding customer service, reading scientific journals, keeping pace with the latest trends, and weighing the evidence and risks before adding to our everyday medical techniques and equipment,” says Dr. Christopher Reeves. “Additionally, many of us teach advanced techniques in surgical skills courses to advance our colleagues and our profession.” No matter how major or minor the injury you may be dealing with is, the caregivers at Orlando Foot & Ankle Clinic have a depth of expertise and experience that likely will help alleviate your pain and increase your quality of life. It’s just a matter of taking the first step

OPENING THIS WEEK: Wild Rose Sometimes coming in second on a TV talent competition can be the best thing for your professional life. I mean, Clay Aiken lost to Ruben Studdard, and look what he’s made of himself today: a failed Congressional candidate. Jessie Buckley is doing pretty well for herself too, having turned also-ran status on Britain’s I Can Do Anything into a thriving stage and screen career. She’s currently raking in the accolades for her lead performance in Wild Rose, in which the Irish performer plays a Scottish woman who’s determined to make it as a country singer in Nashville. And there are more obstacles to that dream than a simple distance of 4,000 miles, since Buckley’s character is a single mother of two. Oh, and she’s also fresh out of prison. You might remember Buckley from her previous role in 2017’s Beast, which cast her as a young woman determined not to believe her new beau was the serial killer that had been terrorizing their town. So no, nobody’s about to name her the spokesmodel for a Make Good Choices campaign. But at least she gets to sing this time. As long as she doesn’t try to run for Parliament, she should be good. (R; tentatively scheduled to open Friday at Enzian Theater, Maitland)

ALSO PLAYING: The Last Black Man in San Francisco Filmmaker Joe Talbot and his leading man/

co-writer Jimmie Fails drew on their own lives in crafting this story of a man who tries to recapture his past by squatting in a house that used to belong to his family. Awards for directing and “creative collaboration” at this year’s Sundance Film Festival were among the plaudits the picture has received for its depiction of our changing urban landscapes. But the movie is also something of a wonder when it comes to casting – because let’s face it, when was the last time you saw a flick that featured Thora Birch and Jello Biafra? In my book, those should be the ingredients for a summer blockbuster right there. (R; playing at Regal Winter Park Village & RPX) The Other Side of Heaven 2: Fire of Faith When I reviewed the Mormon missionary drama The Other Side of Heaven back in 2001, I ran afoul of some readers for making one little joke about polygamy. Since then, I’ve been married to an LDS member and The Book of Mormon has taken in more than $5 million. So who really suffered, huh? Fire of Faith resumes the story of real-life proselyte John H. Groberg, played once again by Christopher Gorham. Noticeably AWOL is Anne Hathaway, who played Groberg’s wife before she was a big cheese but would now apparently rather pal around with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Chicks, man. That’s why you’ve always gotta marry more than one. (And awaaaaay we go!) (PG-13; playing at Regal Winter Park) orlandoweekly.com

Pay It Forward Benefit Show

Witnessing each of their SXSW shows as a fan of seven years, I can say the Pauses really have “come into [their] own some more,” especially with the release of the definitive Unbuilding album last year, after playing music together for over a decade. The hits just keep on coming. The planets finally aligned after almost two years of conflicting schedules, and the legendary Vanessa Briscoe Hay of equally legendary Athens post-punkers Pylon Reenactment Society added the Pauses to Pylon’s Athfest showcase gig in June. And just last week, the Pauses headed up the East Coast for shows in Brooklyn and Philadelphia. Not to mention their upcoming tours with heroes and mentors Jawbox and Built to Spill. Between all this roadwork, the band will be playing this weekend at the Orlando Public Library’s Melrose Center. This place is an incredible resource for local creatives, with access to recording and photo studios all available for free use with a library card. The Melrose hosts the performance series “Melrose in the Mix,” which has featured local artists from singer-songwriter Beth McKee to rapper Sean Shakespeare. The manager of the Melrose Center, Jim Myers, primarily books these shows and has been a Pauses fan for years, itching to get the band to play since last summer. The Pauses’ blend of audio and visual stimuli – and some possible surprise guests – promise a Melrose experience unlike any other to date.

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

Happy birthday, America. Maybe

between all the beer, BBQ and fireworks, we can try and relocate those founding (and, shhh, uniquely progressive) principles upon which we’re built. Or we can just rock. This week, Ugly Orange’s new Milk District stand takes a nice punk turn and an Americana showcase highlights some good area voices.

DISTRACTOR AND RV, THE NOOK ON ROBINSON, JUNE 23

The ladies of Ugly Orange do great concert work of all different scales all around town. Their recent stake at young and intimate neighborhood spot the Nook on Robinson is proving to be a great addition to their cache of venues, allowing them a nice and consistent small room to rock some free shows. It was there that Ugly Orange recently dropped more manna in the Milk District, this time a sweet little punk show with California band Distractor. For a place that’s not primarily a live venue, it was auspicious to see the Nook cater the vibe enough for the occasion by moving out all the sitting furniture to make it standing room only. On feature was a special one-off, non-tour show for Distractor. The West Coast band are probably one of the more distinctive stars in the already colorful garage-rock constellation of Burger Records, with an unmistakable sound that dresses up punk rock with the primitive, elastic synth sheen of Devo and the Cars. And if this vivid performance is any index, Distractor are going all out with their new lease on life. With two guitarists, a keyboardist, a trumpeter and some dance moves as rubbery as their hooks,

Distractor is the unchained joy that happens when punk rock swaps the attitude and pretense for some electronics and a big sense of fun

the band lit up and worked this little place out with a live-wire set. Distractor is the unchained joy that happens when punk rock swaps the attitude and pretense for some electronics and a big sense of fun. Opening were RV, a young Orlando band that I first saw emerge bright back in early 2017. Since then, their street presence flickered a bit, with members giving priority to other projects. But tonight they’re back, now reloaded with local indie polymath Chandler Strang (Saskatchewan, Case Work) on drums. Less gloom-obsessed than most post-punk, RV’s songs weave chiming jangle-pop melodies with woolly guitar effects into a nice signature sound. And having Strang on board should only sharpen them further.

JORDAN FOLEY & THE WHEELHOUSE, KYLE KELLER AND LEON MAJCEN, WILL’S PUB, JUNE 25

As being tapped to cohost the recent debut of Terri Binion’s excellent Duets event proves, Jordan Foley’s stock in the

Central Florida Americana scene is rising. The emerging local folk-rocker first convinced me with a compelling solo set opening up for David Dondero here last autumn. Even with just an acoustic guitar and a microphone, Foley’s expression was noteworthy for the cultivated richness of his singing. But the man’s got a band called Jordan Foley & the Wheelhouse, and they are on a whole other plane. Hearing his vigorous, stirring voice on its own is a moving thing, but seeing it flanked and given full wing by a five-piece ensemble is a splendor. His supporting cast is stocked with quality players and singers. Together, they make for a country-rock outfit that’s lush, articulated and muscular. The night yielded a nice discovery in opening Gainesville artist Kyle Keller. His warm voice is a gentle foil for the dark, rustic soil he tills in his songs, loam that ranges from deep heartache to occasional Southern Gothic tones. It’s earnest, emotionally haunted music that drifts through the shadows with a quiet, earthy radiance. Besides his own acoustic guitar and harmonica, Keller performed with the accompaniment of Tampa musician Taylor Raynor on fiddle, which punctuated the more harrowing edges of his loneliest songs nicely. Also on the bill was Leon Majcen, a very young artist from the Tampa Bay area now based in New York City. Although his balmy sensibility generally sticks to the middle lane, perhaps to a beige fault at times, he does play his folk music with some polish, soul and a light twang. Right now, though, it’s more pleasant than distinctive. baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

Rob Thomas

Nicole Mitchell

MUSIC

FILM

Around the time that Orlando was known for cranking out manufactured boy bands like *NSYNC and the Backstreet Boys (and O-Town, and 98 Degrees, etc.), Central Florida native Rob Thomas got a taste of superstardom with his band Matchbox 20. Their 1996 debut album Yourself or Someone Like You went platinum 12 times, making it one of the RIAA’s comparatively few “Diamond” albums. Anthems like “Push” and “3AM” still inspire sing-alongs in the car when they pop up on the radio. But Thomas’ biggest success by far was his 1999 collaboration with Carlos Santana, “Smooth,” on Santana’s comeback album, Supernatural. The song was nothing less than a monster, and was played practically everywhere. We were only half-joking when we suggested on April Fool’s Day a few years ago that the speakers at Lake Eola Park should just play “Smooth” on a loop. The fact that Thomas has never had a hit that rose to that level isn’t a black spot on his record, because most artists never have a hit that big in their life. The Lake Brantley High School grad stops into Hard Rock Live this week to promote his newest solo album, Chip Tooth Smile, but to be honest, we’re hoping he sneaks a Tabitha’s Secret (his old Orlando-area band) song or two into the setlist. – Thaddeus McCollum

Nicole Mitchell has been named “Top Flutist of the Year” by Downbeat magazine several years running. She has served as president of the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians in Chicago. She is the head of the University of Pittsburgh’s jazz studies program. She composed and recorded a ninepart suite as a tribute to Black sci-fi writer Octavia Butler. In addition to all of those things, Mitchell is a total badass, a role model, and an icon of Afrofuturism. She’s equally comfortable leading or following in large ensembles (a treasured memory was seeing her, Tomeka Reid and Warren Smith in a quartet led by Henry Grimes a few years ago), but the thread through all of her playing is a fierce and delicate modernity. This is an outreach program as part of her residency at the Atlantic Center for the Arts, so we can’t say what she’ll be doing – performing with a small or large group, with outside musicians or with her ACA associate artists – but it really doesn’t matter. We’d listen to Mitchell playing scales on roller skates, if that’s what she decided to do. (Fingers crossed?) – Jessica Bryce Young

Movie nerds often recognize 1999 as a significant year in film. It brought us Fight Club, The Sixth Sense, American Beauty, Magnolia, Being John Malkovich and so many others. But one 1999 cult comedy that has never gotten the respect it absolutely deserves is Drop Dead Gorgeous. The mockumentary, directed by The State alum Michael Patrick Jann, explores the lives of teen beauty pageant contestants in the fictional small town of Mount Rose, Minnesota. The central rivalry is between working-class sweetheart Amber Atkins (Kirsten Dunst) and spoiled mean girl Becky Leeman (Denise Richards.) When contestants start getting murdered, a very obvious mystery is set up as to who’s knocking off the contestants, but the mystery isn’t the point. Rather, the supporting cast, including Ellen Barkin as Amber’s mom, Allison Janney as her promiscuous neighbor, Amy Adams (way before she became a perennial Academy Award nominee and Golden Globe winner) and the beloved Brittany Murphy, (ten years before she tragically died of pneumonia, not suicide or a drug overdose as internet memes seem to think), creates a completely believable – if hilariously bizarre – small town ruled over by Queen Bitch Gladys Leeman (Kirstie Alley, in maybe her greatest role ever). The movie barely made an impact at the box office, but once it hit DVD, word of mouth made it a bona fide cult hit, and it’s probably the film that this so-called film critic has seen more than any other movie. Enzian programmer Tim Anderson scored a huge coup with this screening, which takes place on the 20th anniversary of the original theatrical release, meaning that Drop Dead Gorgeous can finally get the attention is deserves for its birthday. You’ve had 20 years to catch up. Don’t miss your chance again. – TM

Hourglass Brewing District Grand Opening Hourglass Brewing District Grand Opening Pardon the pun, but it’s about damn time, right? Longwood’s lauded Hourglass Brewing finally opens up a permanent location on Curry Ford Road in the up-and-coming Hourglass District, an event that’s been anticipated ever since the area got its developerapproved new name. Bottles and cans are available for purchase, while the 40 (!) taps feature Hourglass creations like Fatty Boom Boom, Longwood Landbier and Drunken Irish Curse. Welcome home? 11 a.m. Wednesday; The Hourglass Brewery – Curry Ford, 2500 Curry Ford Road; free; hourglassbrewing.com.

Elliott Smith: a Tribute Night When it comes to depressed singer-songwriters, Elliott Smith at least places in everyone’s Top 5. Maybe even more frequently now that Morrissey has let his old, out-of-touch mouth lose him plenty of goodwill. Sadly, Smith stabbed himself in the heart – What can we say? Dude had a flair for the dramatic. – in 2003, but Wheeler Newman, David Zim and Nik Sidella are getting together at the Nook this week to play some of their favorite songs. It’s probably going to be a lot happier than that little story above would have you believe. 9 p.m. Saturday; The Nook on Robinson, 2432 E. Robinson St.; free; facebook. com/thenookonrobinson.

No, it’s not just George Takei and Ian McKellen trading barbs for an hour and a half. This parody of Mean Girls – filled with 1990s and 2000s pop-culture references – bills itself as “too gay to function.” The play, which earned Patron’s Pick at the 2019 Orlando Fringe Festival, is back for an encore performance at the Parliament House with new cast members. Guests can purchase a VIP experience for $25, which includes reserved seating in the first four rows and a meet-and-greet after the performance.

JULY 3-9, 2019 ● ORLANDO WEEKLY

B Y DA N S AVAG E

I’m a single gay guy in my late 30s. I’m quite introverted and a bit shy, yet I have a big sexual drive and a rich libido. I’ve always found the gay scene overwhelming, and my several attempts at online dating were not very successful. I feel my quiet ways tend to put people off and I hardly ever get the chance to show my more playful or crazy sides, as it takes me a bit to feel comfortable to show those. Whenever I was able to, my partners were usually pleasantly surprised and we could enjoy plenty of fun, but I can count these occasions on the fingers of one hand. I feel most guys just stop at my gentle disposition and assume I must be a bit boring if not a prude altogether. Turns out I actually have quite a few kinks – bondage being one of them – but so far I have hardly been able to explore them with a partner. Often those drawn to me haven’t really been of the sexually adventurous kind. By my looks I don’t really fit into any of the “tribes” that a lot of gay men identify with. Part of me doesn’t care, but at the same time I find myself on the outside looking in when searching for a nice guy for a date or more. Would you have any kind of advice to crack this shell of mine open? Always Looked Over, Never Embraced Next time you find yourself on the outside looking in, ALONE, take a moment to look around. Because that small scrum of guys who fit neatly into whatever gay tribe happens to be dominating the bar/pool/whatever – the guys on the inside looking at themselves or looking at their phones or looking at themselves on their phones – are usually surrounded by a much larger group of guys who don’t fit neatly into that particular tribe or any other obvious tribe. And if the guys looking longingly at the easy-and-obvious tribe would look around, they’d see a whole lot of guys like them – guys who might be feeling a little awkward or out of place, guys who are attractive in perhaps less conventional or immediately apparent ways, guys with hidden depths, etc. In other words, ALONE, guys like you. And speaking of guys like you, did you know you have a motherfucking superpower that makes you a member of all gay tribes and your own unique tribe? “Bondage is the great unifier among kinksters,” says Joshua Boyd, a gay bondage “enthusiast,” as they say, in his mid-30s who lives and ties in the Seattle area. “Bondage guys are from all walks of life, and they range from twinks to muscle guys to bears, cubs, jocks, and average Joes.” So just as you’ll find gay guys in every race, ethnic group, economic class, faith community, etc., bondage guys can be 46

found in every gay tribe and bondage guys make up their own unique tribe. “ALONE should put any search for a longterm relationship on hold and look for more casual kinky fun,” Boyd says. “Recon (recon. com) has always been a good place for me to start conversations with fun guys – I even met my husband there. The bottom line is there are others who share his interests, and they are waiting to connect with him.” But you’re shy! You’re introverted! Connecting is hard! Boyd describes himself the same way – shy, introverted, difficulty connecting – and not only is he married, ALONE, he doesn’t lack for casual play partners and he’s got play pics all over the internet to prove it. Tyger Yoshi also describes himself as shy and introverted – and I recently watched shy, introverted Yoshi do a bondage demo at Trade, a gay leather bar in Denver, where he suspended a guy from the ceiling. “When I first started exploring my interest in bondage, I was lucky enough to be in a city where opportunities were plentiful, even for a shy, introverted person like me,” says Yoshi, who’s also in his mid-30s. “There were people who wanted to mentor me, but I struggled taking that first step of accepting help.” The kind of help Yoshi is referring to – the kind of help he eventually accepted – can most easily be found at munches, i.e., casual meet-ups where kinky people, both queer and straight, socialize and connect with other like-minded kinksters. (Munches ≠ play parties.) Spend five seconds on Google, ALONE, and you’ll also find kinky educational organizations that offer classes for people who want to hone their bondage skills while learning about consent, safety and other best practices. And whether you’re a bondage top (you want to tie) or a bondage bottom (you want to be tied) or a switch (tie and be tied), you’ll make friends in bondage classes. And if you wind up clicking with someone, that person isn’t going to assume you’re a prude (they met you at a bondage class) and that person will definitely be sexually adventurous (you met them at a bondage class). And unlike gay bars or clubs, a person’s skills are just as important as their looks at gay bondage parties and events. “After you start making connections and building your circle, find local fetish/kink events that are happening around you – you may need to reach out to the pansexual community – and see if one of your new friends from the munch or the class or Recon is willing to go with you to check it out,” Yoshi says. “And as you start exploring more of your kink side, consider the possibility of separating kink and sex at first.

know that you are interested in bondage but haven’t tried much and you want to practice. Having an exploratory or practice session is much different than having a bondage sex session, and people may be more willing to facilitate that exploration. And from my experience, if you’re able to get up the courage to go out to a kink play party (with a friend for support), the likelihood of finding someone who’s willing to assist in new or first-time experiences increase.” So, ALONE, that thing you’ve been holding back until you get to know someone? Your interest in bondage? Lead with that. Get involved in the kink scene, work on your skill set, be friendly and open – be the nice guy – and you’ll meet lots of men you have something in common with. Trust me, your tribe is out there. Is having sex with multiple partners something prevalent in the gay community? If so, why? It seems that having sex is a pretty big deal with gay men. Why? You Won’t Answer Gay men are men, YWA, and let’s not kid ourselves: Yes, the average gay guy has more sex partners than the average straight guy. But straight men would do everything gay men do if straight men could, but straight men can’t because women won’t. It’s not that straight guys are any less interested in sex than gay guys are or that sex is any less of a “big deal” for straight men. And you know what? Women are just as horny and just as interested in sex as men – gay, straight or bi – and that includes sex with multiple partners. But women have to weigh every choice they make and every truth they tell against the very real threat of sexual violence at the hands of straight men and the lesser threat of being slut-shamed by straight men and other women. (Shout-out to the asexual gay, straight, and bi men and women out there who aren’t interested in sex with anyone – I don’t mean to erase you, but I’m talking averages here, the centers of various bell curves, not deviations.)
