Readers react to blog posts and stories from the June 13 issue. On June 13, we reported on María “Betzy” Santiago Burgos, a 43-year-old woman who escaped the aftermath of Hurricane María in Puerto Rico only to be murdered in Central Florida by a friend who was helping her find affordable housing and ultimately, became obsessed with her, friends and family say. Like many Puerto Rican evacuees using FEMA’s hotel voucher program, Santiago Burgos lived in a state of insecurity because of the federal agency’s last-minute decisions to cut off aid for evacuees every month. @Joyce Marie Perez You can’t just grab a voucher, abandon your home and bills and dip off to the states all willy nilly. There is PLENTY of help. I have lived in Orlando. I have even utilized the help myself. There are also few jobs that pay well and also the rent is astronomical. Don’t blame FEMA after they gave you MONTHS to live in a hotel – utilize resources and begin your life. @Doug Tirschel As usual, people not familiar with the difficulty involved in solving these situations are quick to say, ‘[There] must be a way to resolve them.’ Easy to say, but maybe you have a solution other than just cutting off the aid to people in need, which will create a far worse problems.
@Danny Castillo This is the point of the article. The victim did everything in her power to secure a job and save for an apartment on her own. FEMA’s abrupt decision to end assistance overnight left her scrambling and vulnerable, so much so that she ended up seeking help from someone who wound up killing her. You can paint all of these displaced people as [low-lives] that are lazy, but you would be wrong. These people are U.S. citizens and our government failed them. Also on June 13, we reported on a study from the National Low Income Housing Coalition saying renters in Orlando need to make almost $34,000 a year to afford a studio apartment. Workers in Orlando need to earn at least $16.33 an hour to be able to afford a studio and not be considered “rent-burdened,” which essentially means you spend the majority of your check on rent rather than food, utilities and other essentials. @Alan B. Borne These people ought to go to college and get better jobs, damnit! Of course then they would have to pay off $65K in tuition loans. Hmmm. And there aren’t that many wellpaying jobs here in Orlando. Hmmm. Well, what about …? Yeah, you’re right. Hmmm. @Chuck Dress Am I the only one that offended that minimum wage is still about $8/hour? How are the majority of people supposed to live? We talk about crime, drug use, social programs, etc. Imagine what America would look like if we were just able to pay Americans a livable wage?

Orlando has its latest mass shooting near the two-year mark of Pulse, Disney donates to “proud NRA sellout” Adam Putnam, the World Cup could stop by here in 2026 and other news you may have missed last week. »
Florida has had 51 mass shootings since Pulse: Since a gunman shot and killed 49 people at the gay nightclub Pulse on June 12, 2016, the state of Florida has experienced a total of 51 mass shootings, according to data from the nonprofit Gun Violence Archives pulled last week. In those 51 incidents, 118 people have died and 280 were injured. The GVA and the U.S. Congressional Research Service define a “mass shooting” as “four or more shot and/or killed in a single event [incident], at the same general time and location, not including the shooter.”

Police: Gunman killed 4 children at beginning of Orlando hostage standoff: The gunman who killed four children at an Orlando apartment last week likely shot them at the start of his 21-hour standoff with law enforcement. Detectives believe Gary Wayne Lindsey Jr. fired at the children while they slept in their beds around the time Lindsey was confronted by Orlando Police officers Sunday. Officers responded to Westbrook Apartments that night after a woman reported her boyfriend, 35-year-old Lindsey, had battered her. Police say that when officers confronted Lindsey, he shot at them, hitting Officer Kevin Valencia in the head. Lindsey then barricaded himself in the apartment with his girlfriend’s children, and for almost a day, law enforcement officials tried to negotiate a peaceful surrender and pleaded for the safety of Irayan Pluth, 12; Lillia Pluth, 10; Aidan Lindsey, 6; and Dove Lindsey, 1. Around 9 p.m. on Monday, a SWAT team discovered Lindsey had shot and killed the kids before killing himself.

Disney donates to almost everyone, including nearly $1 million to Putnam: Disney Worldwide Services Inc. has donated to many political campaigns, including about $809,423 to Putnam’s Florida Grown super-PAC since 2015, according to public records. So far in 2018, Disney has given Putnam nearly $270,000. Gun reform activists with the group National Die-In have signaled they might target the theme park giant with a “die-in,” similar to the one held at Publix stores after it was reported that the Lakeland grocery chain gave an unprecedented $670,000 to the GOP gubernatorial candidate over the last three years. Some have argued donating to Putnam is like giving directly to the National Rifle Association because of the Agriculture Commissioner’s history of attempting to loosen Florida gun restrictions.

Orlando’s Camping World Stadium could host World Cup 2026 matches: FIFA has awarded North America the 2026 men’s soccer World Cup tournament. Sixty of the tournament’s 80 games will be played on U.S. soil, and Orlando’s Camping World Stadium is one of the 23 possible venues included in the bid. “We’re thrilled that the United bid has been a success and are so excited about the possibility of the city of Orlando serving as a host city for the 2026 FIFA World Cup,” Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer says. mcordeiro@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

Welcome to Orlando Weekly’s latest semi-regular column, a scatter graph where we rank Sunshine State pols’ behavior each week. Candidate making crowd-savvy moves? Elected official got a case of foot-in-mouth disease? Read about it here.
SHREWD SEN. BILL NELSON: A new ad by Gov. Rick Scott, who’s challenging Nelson for his seat in the U.S. Senate, compares the three-term senator to a Ford Pinto – which is cool in a retro way, minus the part where the cars were prone to explosions. Consider it Scott’s way of saying Nelson has held office for too long, but let’s remember that it’s the voters who have kept him there. Even in light of Scott’s attacks, the old man has yet to flinch.
BRUTE
CUTE
NIKKI FRIED: Fried has advocated for Florida’s medical marijuana program since voters approved it in 2016, even as state health officials and lawmakers have kept a foot on the bureaucratic brake when it comes to setting regulations. Now, she’s running for agriculture commissioner, making her the only woman in that race as term-limited Adam Putnam takes his shot at the governor’s mansion.
GOV. RICK SCOTT: OK, OK, we get it – Scott has the heart of Florida’s county sheriffs. That was especially evident when Scott garnered endorsements from 55 of the state’s 66 sheriffs in his bid for the U.S. Senate last week.
FORMER U.S. REP. ALAN GRAYSON: As if Grayson’s campaign hasn’t already functioned like some sort of spoof on his 2010 re-election run for Congress, now the most abrasive progressive in existence is using years-old celebrity endorsements – including ones from filmmakers Michael Moore and Oliver Stone and actor Martin Sheen – in his Democratic primary campaign against U.S. Rep. Darren Soto. Grayson says it doesn’t matter what year they praised him, because the sentiments remain the same. But do they?
AGRICULTURE COMMISSIONER ADAM PUTNAM: Ask Putnam how else he might manage to fuck up his gubernatorial campaign and he’d likely say, “Hold my citrus-flavored beer.” We’re barely two weeks out from learning that Putnam’s office failed to review the results of more than a year’s worth of federal concealed carry checks, and the attacks ads have only just begun to rev up.

espite the rain, about 200 people joined Pulse survivors, LGBTQ activists and gun violence prevention groups at the #HonorThemWithAction rally in Orlando last Monday, on the eve of the two-year mark of Pulse. They were joined by student survivors of the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. “Time and time and time again, we had ‘thoughts and prayers’ with a heaping side of inaction,” Pulse survivor Brandon Wolf told the crowd outside Orlando City Hall. “I don’t know about you, but I am sick and tired and ready for some goddamned action.” “Six hundred and twelve days,” Wolf said. “That’s how long it took for Pulse headlines to become Parkland headlines. Six hundred and twelve days. That’s how long it took for 49 lives lost to become 17 more. And in those 612 days, nothing changed.” “We are tired of the recycled tweets when tragedies happen,” said Ricardo Negron-Almodovar, another Pulse survivor. “We don’t need social media thoughts. We’re here to honor them with action. … We will remember those who sought to erase us, and we will vote them out!” Advocates say Florida lawmakers did nothing to address the epidemic of gun violence after Pulse. After Parkland, the Florida Legislature finally passed a measure that bans bump stocks, establishes a three-day waiting period for gun purchases, raises the minimum age to purchase a rifle from 18 to 21, and creates a program for arming certain school employees. LGBTQ advocates also say Gov. Rick Scott “broke his promise” to sign an executive order protecting LGBTQ state workers from discrimination, while his office has maintained that federal anti-discrimination guidelines already exist to protect LGBTQ people. “The governor proudly wears a red Marjory Stoneman Douglas ribbon on his jacket but he refuses to wear the rainbow Pulse ribbon,” state Rep. Carlos orlandoweekly.com
●
Guillermo Smith said to the crowd. “Why? After Parkland, Rick Scott sent $1 million in taxpayer funding to build a memorial but sent nothing to our Pulse memorial. Why?” Smith, D-Orlando, says after Pulse, state leaders pushed the community back in the closet. “Two years after, we honor them with action by lifting the voices of Pulse, of Parkland, of everyday gun violence [victims] to say our lives are equally important and deserve equal action,” Smith said. About four months ago, Aly Sheehy said, she found herself huddled on the floor with her classmates at Stoneman Douglas High School thinking they were going to die on Feb. 14. “We sat in silence, texting our parents, ‘I love you’ because we feared we would not get to say that to their faces,” she said. “That day feels like it was a year ago, but at the same time it feels like it was yesterday. … For too long, we have had to beg for our lives.” Sheehy, who is now 18, says she plans to take her fight to the ballot box in November. “I’m going to fight for the future that our friends don’t have anymore,” she told the crowd. “To the politicians: I hope you hear our screams now – because they’re only growing louder.” María Jose Wright remembers the pride she felt in beloved son, Jerry Wright, and how it was “smashed and destroyed by hate and bullets” when he was gunned down at Pulse. Wright added that it’s not acceptable that 96 Americans die by a gun every day. “It is not normal for our children to die while they sit at school, eat at a restaurant, pray in church, listen to music at a concert or dance at a club.” “My friends – our 49 angels – they deserved a future,” Wolf said. “Gun violence, corruption and greed stole that from them. This year, I’m challenging every single one of you to register, to vote and to honor them with action.” mcordeiro@orlandoweekly.com

GAME OF THRONES Lisa Hardt’s toilet tours might sound crappy, but they’re really a love letter to local businesses BY XANDER P ETERS
G
eorge Costanza, arguably the most neurotic character on the classic sitcom Seinfeld, had something akin to encyclopedic knowledge of Manhattan’s public restroom scene – or, as he would have described it, its most “magnificent facilities.” But would you believe us if we said Orlando has its own washroom academic? Enter Lisa Hardt, whose Instagram project, @theshittybeautiful, has inspired a series of local toilet tours. For the last year, Hardt has chronicled the City Beautiful’s loos, from the disturbingly wrecked to the quaint and elegant.
14
It’s less a crappy hobby than it is a way of recording some of Orlando’s best and booziest nooks – and, to be clear, she’s less the hysterical Costanza type than she is enagaging and quickto laugh. Her semi-regular outings now take place every month or two, but the idea behind presenting free toilet tours was born accidentally, springing out of a photo folder on her phone. “It was a thing that kept happening when I was in bathrooms: I wanted to take photos of things, so I just started a weird folder on my phone that I always joked I would do something with,” Hardt says. “And after
ORLANDO WEEKLY ● JUNE 20-26, 2018 ● orlandoweekly.com

making this joke for, like, six months, my friends encouraged me to actually make it into a thing.” But it’s not exactly the type of toilet tour that you might expect – she doesn’t drag fans from place to place just to poke their heads inside random restrooms – which, frankly, doesn’t sound all that appealing considering the hazards that come with the territory. Really, it’s more about finding an excuse to get to the restrooms once you’re there – and by that we mean she and her @theshittybeautiful fans are pretty much just out to drink and be merry. After all, is there no greater common denominator between us than nature’s call?
“Orlando’s great about having locally owned businesses and I think any time you can support that in your community, you’re making your community a better place,” Hardt says. “A lot of times when we do these tours, you might have been to one or two of the places, but there’s a lot of places you haven’t been to and you might find your new favorite bar, or you might just make some new friends – which is also good.” She continues: “I’ve definitely found some gems that I didn’t know existed from doing research for the toilet tours, and I’d love to pass that on to other people.” xpeters@orlandoweekly.com
this bathroom is an adventure in itself, but it usually smells better than others – so it’s worth the search. Once there, you’ll notice the eclectic paintings, including a cute yet terrifying cat portrait right above the toilet. It’s also the only place where she’s noticed ashtrays in the bathrooms, which could be a positive or a negative depending on who you are. Looking beyond these flourishes, the sink is surprisingly fancy, with a beautiful floral backsplash.
THE BEAUTIFUL The Guesthouse
Everything in these bathrooms is uber hip, which makes sense: The Guesthouse is definitely one of the most Instagrammed bars in town. But the palm tree-patterned wallpaper is what really sells it, making it oh so Florida. It’s Hardt’s favorite bathroom for a good mirror selfie, she says.
Collective Kindness
S
o what makes for the best sort of public restroom? Let’s take it from Hardt. In the opinion of this bathroom bon vivant, there are two vital qualities when it comes to ranking the most lavish lavatories: cleanliness and appearance. Sorted into two categories – the shitty and the beautiful – here are Hardt’s 10 current favorite bathrooms in Orlando. (She means “shitty” in a good way, of course, because you can’t appreciate the shitty without the beautiful, at least not in the City Beautiful.)
THE SHITTY Will’s Pub
Hardt says her favorite thing about the bathrooms inside Will’s Pub is that they are so different every time you walk in, whether for better or worse – but that usually means something along the lines of new graffiti, stickers, etc. The bathrooms match the pub: punk rock, full of personality, one of a kind.
Stardust Video & Coffee
Similar to Will’s, the bathroom walls of Stardust are an ever-changing landscape. They were smart enough to put clipboards on the walls for people to write and draw on, which makes the graffiti appear more artistic and intentional than it might seem
otherwise. Her favorite part is the graffiti all over the baby-changing station, which seems to label this as a bathroom for cool parents only.
It’s technically a boutique in Oakland, Florida, not an Orlando bar – but this one needs to be included, Hardt says. You can tell a lot of thought and love went into every inch of the new Collective Kindness home, and it doesn’t start and end in the bathroom. From the hand-stenciled floor to the hand-painted walls by Jessa Bray, this bathroom is simultaneously chic and unique.
Tap & Grind
A hidden gem (and a 2016 Best of Orlando Writer’s Pick winner) where the walls are covered in a beautiful tile mosaic. But the coolest part is the black light paintings, Hardt says enthusiastically – when you turn off the lights, you get a whole different bathroom experience. It’s also usually super clean, which is a good thing because black lights aren’t very forgiving.
The Glass Knife
The little details make this one incredible: live plants, eye-catching wall designs and excellent lighting. It feels like a bathroom at Walt Disney World without the high admission cost.
Harriett’s Lounge at the Dr. Phillips Center
Named after one of Orlando’s coolest philanthropists, the legendary Harriett Lake, this is the classiest bathroom in Orlando. All of the bathrooms are amazing at the Dr. Phillips Center, but this lounge, located on the first floor, is the definition of perfection. There are chandeliers, love seats, giant mirrors, the most perfect lighting for your selfie needs and – Hardt’s favorite part – purse hooks by the sinks. Consider it a huge deal. Hardt says she never knew she needed hooks by the sink, and now she’s pretty much forever spoiled.
Tanqueray’s
OK, so this bathroom isn’t always at its cleanliest. In fact, it’s usually pretty raunchy. However, what it lacks in cleanliness it makes up for in personality. Tanqueray’s is a basement bar, which is already unique for Orlando, and to get to the bathrooms you have to walk up a few steps. That sounds easy enough, but Tanqueray’s bartenders are pretty heavy-handed, so the stairs get exponentially more challenging throughout the night. Those factors do equate to the perfect formula when it comes to making friends while standing in line, though.
The Lucky Lure
Decked out with unpainted particleboard walls – and quippy signs with sayings like, “Save the Earth, it’s the only planet with beer!” – the bathroom fits the vibe of the bar flawlessly: divey, grungy, beachy. There’s also a very convenient shelf all around the perimeter on which to rest your beer, if the occasion calls for it.
Sportstown
There are multiple bathrooms here, but in this case, Hardt’s specifically referring to the unisex one hidden in the corner. Finding orlandoweekly.com

Ever since Walt Disney intro-
duced an Enchanted Room full of audio-animatronic birds to Anaheim’s Adventureland in 1963, Tiki and theme parks have been indelibly intertwined. While the mid-century craze faded into half-forgotten kitsch for a few decades, the Tiki aesthetic has made a surprising comeback in the 21st century, thanks in no small part to its resurgence inside Orlando’s resorts. And if you saw my collection of vintage Mai Tai mugs, you’d know I’m among its many fans. No one understands the impact of Tiki on themed entertainment better than Brandon Kleyla. The former Disney Imagineer spent most of a decade designing decor for Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar, which debuted in 2011 at the Disneyland Hotel, and Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto, which opened at Walt Disney World’s Polynesian hotel in 2015. These uber-popular watering holes – which still draw crowds with their collectible cocktail cups and immersive effect-filled environments – helped jump-start a Tiki renaissance that still reverberates from the Magic Kingdom’s Jungle Skipper restaurant to Disneyland’s upcoming Tropical Hideaway, with unofficial Tiki fan events now held annually in the parks on both coasts. Since leaving Disney in late 2016, Kleyla has been building props for Universal Creative. There, his colleagues include Tom Allsmiller, one of the skilled scenic artists behind Volcano Bay’s beautiful Tiki totems, not to mention the detailed decor inside the Wizarding World and Fast & Furious attractions. Now, “Trader Brandon” and “Typhoon Tommy” have teamed up with artist “Tiki Tony” Murphy to answer the prayers of Tiki fans who want to create a theme park-wor-
Brandon Kleyla, the ‘father of Trader Sam’s,’ shares his Tiki secrets in his new book, The Field Guide to Tiki Decorating thy paradise in their own backyards. The result is The Field Guide to Tiki Decorating, a self-published tutorial on DIY Tiki theming from inspiration through installation. Last month, I caught up with Kleyla and Allsmiller during their book release party at downtown Orlando’s Aku Aku Tiki Bar. Even though I’d recently outbid him in an auction of Ghostbusters concept art, Brandon was gracious enough to sign my copy of his new Field Guide and fill me in on its genesis. “It started because a lot of people were asking me to write a Trader Sam’s-related book, which obviously I can’t,” Kleyla says, referring to trademark restrictions on Disney’s intellectual property. “So I started putting thoughts together of what I could share.” After over half a year of work, they’d assembled a slim paperback (now available at traderbrandon.com) stocked with suggestions for the budding Tiki bar builder. “Volume One focuses on story, creating a backstory and music and lighting – kind of a big overview,” explains Kleyla, covering everything from thrift shopping for vintage signage to selecting the perfect South Seas soundtrack. “And then I brought Tom in to do the tutorials on painting, with a few simple techniques to get you going,” such as
aging objects with artificial rust or turning PVC pipe into bamboo. “I want people to shove this in their pocket, take it with you when you go shopping.” Kleyla reports that readers are already responding to the Field Guide, “sending us photos and posting that they got it and they’re excited, they’re building in their backyard.” This first book teaches the basics, but he says more advanced techniques may be next. “We had a bunch of ideas, but then we thought that might be too complicated right now, if you’re just starting. Do we want to get into power tools and hard foam coating and fiberglass? We can, but let’s work up to that.” Kleyla wasn’t an expert in Tiki culture before joining Imagineering in 2009, so designing Trader Sam’s became what he calls “a crash course [that] just snowballed over the seven years of doing both [bars].” But now, he sees his creation as a key instigator in Tiki’s ongoing “third wave” revival. “I don’t think that Sam’s was fully responsible,” he says, “but I think that once somebody like Disney said, ‘We’re going to build a Tiki bar,’ then it made it OK. Then it was like, ‘Tiki’s not going anywhere.’ … I don’t think they’re solely responsible, but I think they’re a big part of it.” Ironically, while he recommends Fort Lauderdale’s Mai-Kai and Sarasota’s Bali Hut, the “father of Trader Sam’s” rarely hangs out inside his own creations. “It’s still kind of crazy to me. I’m sad that I don’t really enjoy [Trader Sam’s] as a guest, because I’ve slept in there, I’ve lived in there. But I get to enjoy going in there and sitting in a corner, just watching everyone else and seeing them react, so I get that side of it.” skubersky@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

ioned from datil peppers and kumquats smothering the pork – but it just so happens to be bloody delicious. Along with perfectly cooked grits and kale, it lent great gastronomic beauty to this bowl of ugliness, and my inner William Eggleston concurred. A garlicky meatball sandwich ($14), on the other hand, bordered on the mundane, perhaps because the grass-fed orbs disintegrated under the weight of mozzarella, tomato sauce and pecan pesto. What can I say? I like my meatballs firm, and these turned into a pseudo-mince rather quickly. With eight different Florida beers available on tap, tipplers sidle up to the bar at all hours of the day for a pint or two, and some can even be seen “enjoying” a glass of kombucha, though I find that very hard to believe. (Editor’s note: Believe it.) There are wines on tap as well, but if you’re looking for a sugary end – or start – just know that desserts aren’t offered by Florida & Co. Yeah, I know I could do an about-face and head to Gideon’s for a boffo cookie or Olde Hearth for a chocolate croissant, but they close early. If I’m here until 9 p.m. on a weeknight, I’m out of luck and, besides, I want to see what Rankin and her merry band of cooks can do on the sweet side. I won’t lie – leaving without getting our sugary fix was a slight disappointment, but that’s OK. Every loving relationship has its ups and downs.

ENZO’S HIDEAWAY
Roman-Italian underground speakeasy is possibly the most un-Disney of Disney restaurants – hidden, moodily lit, Deco-styled and inviting. Starters like the veg agrodolce and arancini-like suppli’ are worth nibbling on, as is complimentary focaccia baked with cherry tomatoes. Pastas aren’t made in-house, and spaghetti tre formaggi is a textural fail, but beef eaters will certainly get their fill of the bistecca pizzaiolo. The cannoli and tiramisu make gratifying endings. Open daily. Disney Springs, 1560 E. Buena Vista Drive, Lake Buena Vista, 407-560-3696; $$$$
MAI BISTRO
Gleaming, modern eatery offers its takes on Vietnamese street fare ranging from beauty banh mis to stellar sticky rice bowls. Meaty banh bao and fresh spring rolls are also offered, though vegans may want to give the meatless noodle soup a try. On the sugary drink front, say yes to the passion fruit milk tea and trad Viet coffee. Say an emphatic no to the durian smoothie. Closed Wednesdays. 1830 E. Colonial Drive, 407-730-8538; $$
TARTINE WINE BAR & EATERIE
College Park’s paean to all things bready focuses on the tartine, of which the roast beef and the mixed mushroom versions are quite gratifying. Other French-leaning dishes – middleneck clams in a spicy white wine broth, escargots baked in a croissant shell, and the tallow candle – are worth a look. Pastries are always worth saving room for, the chocolate mousse on a crunchy hazelnut praline in particular. French beers and a small yet interesting wine list are offered. Closed Mondays and Tuesdays. 2445 Edgewater Drive, 407-8450016; $$
DAJEN EATS VEGAN CAFÉ & CREAMERY
Jamaican vegan fare makes the Citgo on North OBT near Lee Road one of the more unique gas stations in town. Dishes ranging from rice & peas with sweet and spicy cauliflower bites and crispy fried chick’n seitan to “loona toona” sandwiches are offered. Eight different varieties of vegan ice cream fashioned from coconut milk are also sold. Note: DaJen Eats will close its Citgo location this summer and move into a permanent location in Eatonville. 4845 N. Orange Blossom Trail, 407-286-4983; $ CONTINUED ON PAGE 25

SOUTHERN SPICE
There’s plenty to sample from the stacked menu of usual and unusual suspects of southern Indian fare. Dosa lovers will heartily indulge in the mainstay’s puffy cousin – kuzhi paniyaram – while those with a propensity for more intense flavorings will want the veg Chettinad curry cooked in no less than 28 spices. For a taste less charged, kola urundal ($16) comes spiked with a sprig of fried curry leaves and with magnificent little fried lentil “kofta” lolling in the thickened swell. Whole marinated pompano coated with semolina and panfried is a must. Open daily. 7637 Turkey Lake Road, 321-251-2244; $$
CHELA TEQUILA & TACOS
Kasa’s tapas and small plates give way to Chela’s tacos and tortas in a rebrand by the Bento Group. While grilled flour tortillas aren’t our favorite, corn tortillas are offered, but must be requested. We liked such shareables as roasted cauliflower with Indo-Mex flavorings and corn on the cob with a smoky, cheesy, peppery finish. A creamy guac is bright but not too bright, and the chicken-jicama slaw makes a worthy, if safe, main. If you must have dessert, choose the choco taco to close. Open daily. 183 S. Orange Ave., 407-985-5272; $$
MO-CHICA CEVICHEPERUVIAN GRILL
I-Drive Peruvian restaurant serves up the standards in decent enough fashion, but there’s very little here that sets it apart. A bracing and balanced ceviche mixto with octopus, calamari, shrimp and corvina is worth a look, but anticuchos lack flavor. A seafood chaufa was plagued with uncooked rice kernels. Lomo saltado fares better, and they do serve up a killer flan (aka crema volteado). Open daily. 5700 International Drive, 407-723-8416; $$
THE EDISON
The Disney offshoot of the famed downtown L.A. restaurant/nightclub dazzles with its looks, but baffles with its uninspired and pedestrian menu offerings. Slabs of overdone bacon served on a mini clothesline, heavily breaded and goopy crab cakes, dry meatloaf served with very little gravy, and a meh lamb burger present lost opportunities for creativity. But flashes of brilliance come in the form of corn dogs and fiery lamb meatballs in harissa, and a Rocky Road shake served inside a big-ass beaker is kitschy fun. Disney Springs, 1570 E. Buena Vista Drive, 407-560-9288; $$$$
CHEF WANG’S KITCHEN
Beijing-born chef Jian Hua Wang serves some of the best Chinese food in the city. In addition to Northern Chinese and Dongbei specialties, Wang serves Sichuan classics – don’t pass on an infernal bowl of “water boiled spicy fish filet” or the veg-friendly “spicy napa heart wok.” A plate of Japanese eggplant, peppers and potato proffers a taste of the north. Other hits: beef chow fun and sturdy pan-fried beef knishes – dumplings reminiscent of Shanghainese sheng jian bao. Closed Tuesdays. 5148 W. Colonial Drive; 407-9303188; $$ n

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom
BY ST EVE SCHN EID ER
THIS WEEK: American Animals The opening-night feature from this year’s Florida Film Festival gets a return Orlando engagement, allowing a whole new audience to take in its genrebending portrayal of a real-life rare-book theft committed by a quartet of friends. On his blog, meiermovies.com, our own Cameron Meier expressed his appreciation of the film’s marriage of documentary and narrative elements, comparing it favorably to Warren Beatty’s Reds. As opposed to Glenn Frey’s “Smuggler’s Blues,” which is of course a different thing. (Editor’s note: Opening this week in Melbourne; scheduled to open locally in July.) (R) Hearts Beat Loud And keep your eye on orlandoweekly.com for Mr. Meier’s review of Hearts Beat Loud, a thoroughly modern drama about a father (Nick Offerman) and his daughter (Kiersey Clemons) who collaborate on a song that becomes a viral hit. Until that review goes up, we can have fun counting every hipster box the movie has checked. Brooklyn location? Check! Bearded dad? Check! Record store setting? Check! Biracial offspring? Check! Who’s also a lesbian? Check! I don’t think I’ve seen that much calculated diversity since SNL gave us the Snake-Handling O’Sheas. And even they didn’t make their bones by trading in that sweet, sweet vinyl. Vapes all around! (PG-13) Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom When you’re five pictures into a franchise, what’s there left to add? Answer: surfin’ dinos! Well, at least dinos going after surfers, which is good enough when it comes to blurring the lines between a major international release and
something you’d see on Syfy. But then, new director J.A. Bayona (The Orphanage, A Monster Calls) brings with him a distinctive set of influences, having cited the inspiration of everything from The Empire Strikes Back to the 1979 Dracula in determining the style and tone of this latest installment. (Hey, John Badham: You got one!) In Fallen Kingdom, Chris Pratt and the gang have to decide if it’s morally advisable to save genetically engineered reptiles from a volcano that’s about to go kablooey. This is of course a Very Serious ethical dilemma, one that I’m sure all of those migrant kids will appreciate when we finally let them out of their cages for a day trip to the multiplex. Dry your tears, Pedro: Just imagine that surfer is Stephen Miller! (PG-13)
ALSO PLAYING: Sanky Panky 3 Spanish-speaking audiences might enjoy this comedy about a trio of Dominican pals whose pursuit of visas takes them to Puerto Rico. Now, landing in P.R. post-Maria might sound like really rotten timing, but it could be worse. They could have washed up at Jurassic World. Or worse yet, in Arizona! (PG-13) Race 3 India’s version of the Fast and the Furious franchise continues in a story that takes its central crime family from Mumbai to Bangkok to Abu Dhabi to Kashmir. During filming, costar Salman Khan was sentenced to five years in prison for killing a protected antelope while working on a previous project. Does this mean we can finally prosecute Mike Myers for bending the Cat in the Hat over a sink? (NR) orlandoweekly.com

DETAIL FROM ‘CAPTAIN AMERICA COMICS’ NO. 1, MARCH 1941, BY JACK KIRBY
Wednesday, June 20
Hot Talks: Jewish Narrative in Superhero Comics LEARNING
This installment of the JCC’s summer lecture series on what makes a hero stars one of our own heroes, professor Julian Chambliss. His areas of special interest – urban planning, minority history and comic books – intersect like Voltron to create the perfect tool to discuss tonight’s topic: the hidden current of Jewish identity politics in superhero literature. In the 1930s and ’40s, the so-called golden age of comics, the canon was established by men like Jack Kirby and Joe Simon, Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel, Bob Kane and Bill Finger – Jews all. Like any artists, their personal emotion and experience shaped their work. So Captain America, Batman and Superman are all the creations of Jews living in America, having narrowly escaped the Shoah but watching it decimate their people – hence infused with grief, survivor’s guilt and the desire for vengeance. Like one of his super friends, Chambliss flies off into the sunset at the end of the summer to take up a position at Michigan State University. Catch him while you can. – Jessica Bryce Young 6:30 p.m. | Jewish Community Center of Greater Orlando, 851 N. Maitland Ave., Maitland | 407-645-5933 | orlandojcc.org | $5

Mezzanine Swimmers MUSIC
The benefits of the second annual Miami Psych Fest for the City Beautiful are readily apparent this week. Aside from local freaks like the Wildtones and Timothy Eerie scoring prime slots that weekend – and the mighty Jandek being just three(!) hours(!) away(!) – we’re getting some mindblowing run-off shows. New England’s wigged-out Urochromes are playing Lou’s, ID M Theft Able is playing a house show, and two electronic experimental acts are playing our own Stardust on their respective ways down south. Pittsburgh’s Dean Cercone is an avant-garde musician and visual artist who deals in blown-out – and often tender – earworms and disorienting visions. New York’s Mezzanine Swimmers weave together dense webs of largely improvised electronics into somehow groovy constructs. Take in at least one of these events. – Matthew Moyer with Dean Cercone, Ootheca, Mother Juno | 9 p.m. | Stardust Video & Coffee, 1842 E. Winter Park Road | stardustie.com | $5

It’s followed by the second annual Mickmas comedy showcase – named in honor of birthday boy comedian Mickey Mick. But the real highlight of the evening comes in the form of the Giggle Goofs – a lightninground comedy showcase where anyone – especially those who have never done stand-up before – is invited to come to the mic for one minute to test the waters as a comedian. Sweat it out for the full 60 seconds, and you can walk away with one whole American dollar and the opportunity to introduce yourself as a “professional comedian” for the rest of your life. – Thaddeus McCollum 7 p.m. | The Bull & Bush Pub, 2408 E. Robinson St. | 407-896-7546 | bullandbushorlando.com | prettylittlepints.libsyn.com | free

Paul Van Dyk MUSIC
Growing up in pre-reunification East Berlin, Matthias Paul became obsessed with music after illegally listening to verboten Western radio stations. Years later, now known by his pseudonym Paul Van Dyk, he ended up being a founding force behind trance – the distinctly European take on house and techno that upped the BPMs while washing the dancefloor in layer upon layer of operatic buildups. Now widely regarded as one of the most important DJs in history, Van Dyk plays Gilt this week in support of last year’s album, From Then On, his first since suffering a severe spinal injury from a 20-foot fall in 2016. – Thaddeus McCollum 10 p.m. | Gilt Nightclub, 740 Bennett Road | 407-504-7699 | giltnightclub.com | $15-$40

B Y D A N S AVA G E
I am a 24-year-old straight guy who recently broke up with my girlfriend of more than four years. One of the reasons we broke up was a general lack of sexually compatibility. She had a particular aversion to oral sex – both giving and receiving. I didn’t get a blow job the whole time we were together. Which brings me to why I am writing: One of my closest friends, “Sam,” is a gay guy. Shortly after breaking up with my girlfriend, I was discussing my lack of oral sex with Sam and he said he’d be willing to “help me out.” I agreed, and Sam gave me an earthshattering blow job. I was glad to get some and had no hang-ups about a guy sucking me. Since then, Sam has blown me three more times. My problem is I am starting to feel guilty and worry I am using Sam. He’s a very good buddy, and I’m concerned this lopsided sexual arrangement might be bad for our friendship. Sam knows I am not into guys and I’m never going to reciprocate, and I feel like this is probably not really fair to him. But these are literally the only blow jobs I’ve received since I was a teenager. What should I do? Totally Have Reservations Over Advantage Taking Only one person knows how Sam feels about this “lopsided sexual arrangement,” THROAT, and it isn’t me – it’s Sam. Zooming out for a second: People constantly ask me how the person they’re fucking or fisting or flogging feels about all the fucking or fisting or flogging they’re doing. Guys ask me why a woman ghosted them, and women ask me if their boyfriend is secretly gay. And while I’m perfectly happy to speculate, I’m not a mind reader. Which means I have no way of knowing for sure why that woman ghosted you or if your boyfriend is gay – or in your case, THROAT, how Sam feels about the four no-recip blow jobs he’s given you. Only Sam knows. And that’s why I wrote you back, THROAT, and asked you for Sam’s contact information. Since you were clearly too afraid to ask Sam yourself (most likely for fear the blow jobs would stop), I offered to ask Sam on your behalf. I wasn’t serious – it was my way of saying, “You should really ask Sam.” But you sent me Sam’s contact info, and a few minutes later I was chatting with Sam. “Yes, I have been sucking my straight friend’s cock,” Sam said to me. “And I am flattered he told you I was good at it. That’s an ego booster!” Sam, like THROAT, is 24 years old. He grew up on the East Coast and met THROAT early in his first year at college. Sam came out at the end of his freshman year, to THROAT and his other friends, and he now lives in a big city where he works in marketing when he isn’t sucking off THROAT.

My first question for Sam: Is he one of those gay guys who get off on “servicing” straight guys? “I’ve never done anything with a straight guy before this,” said Sam. “So, no, I’m not someone who is ‘into servicing straight guys.’ I have only ever dated and hooked up with gay guys before!” So why offer to blow THROAT? “I didn’t know until after he broke up with his girlfriend that he hadn’t gotten a blow job the whole time they were together – four years!” Sam said. “When I told him I’d be happy to help him out, I was joking. I swear I wasn’t making a pass at my straight friend! But there was this long pause, and then he got serious and said he’d be into it. I wondered for a minute if it would be weird for me to blow my friend, and there was definitely a bit of convincing each other that we were serious. When he started taking his clothes off, I thought, ‘So this is going to happen.’ It was not awkward after. We even started joking about it right away. I have sucked him off four more times since then.” For those of you keeping score at home: Either THROAT lost count of the number of times Sam has blown him – THROAT said Sam has blown him three more times after that first blow job – or THROAT got a fifth blow job in the short amount of time that elapsed between sending me his letter and putting me in touch with Sam. So does this lopsided sexual arrangement – blowing a straight boy who’s never going to blow him – bother Sam? “I suppose it is a ‘lopsided sexual arrangement,’” said Sam. “But I don’t mind. I really like sucking dick and I’m really enjoying sucking his dick. He has a really nice dick! And from my perspective, we’re both having fun. And, yes, I’ve jacked off thinking about it after each time I sucked him. I know – now – that he thinks it is a bit unfair to me. But I don’t feel that way at all.” So there is something in it for Sam. You get the blow jobs, THROAT, and Sam gets the spank-bankable memories. And Sam assumes that at some point, memories are all he’ll have. “He will eventually get into a relationship with a woman again, and our arrangement will end,” said Sam. “I only hope nothing is weird between us in the future because of what has happened in the past few weeks.” I had one last question: Sam is really good at sucking cock – he gives “earth-shattering” blow jobs – but is THROAT any good at getting his cock sucked? As all experienced cocksuckers know, a person can suck at getting their cock sucked: They can just lay/ stand/sit there, giving you no feedback, or be too pushy or not pushy enough, etc. “That’s a really good question,” Sam said. “I have to say, he is very good at it. He really gets into it, he moans, he talks about how

good it feels, and he lasts a long time. That’s part of what makes sucking his cock so much fun.” I’m a straight guy in a LTR with a bi woman. We recently had a threesome with a bi male acquaintance. We made it clear that I’m not into guys and that she was going to be the center of attention. He said he was fine with this. A little bit into us hooking up, he said he wanted to suck my dick. I wasn’t sure about it at first, but my girlfriend encouraged it because she thought it was hot. I ended up saying yes, but I stated that I didn’t want to reciprocate. A bit later, while my girlfriend was sucking his dick, he said he wanted me to join her. I said no, he kept badgering me to do it, I kept saying no, and then he physically tried to shove my head down toward his crotch. My girlfriend and I both got pissed and said he had to leave. Now he’s bitching to our mutual friends about how I had an insecure straight-boy freakout, he didn’t get to come after we both got ours, we’re shitty selfish fetishists, and so on. I’m concerned about what our friends think of me, but even more so, I’m concerned that I did a shitty thing. I get that maybe he was hoping I’d change my mind, especially after I changed my mind about him sucking my dick. But I don’t think it’s fair for him to be angry that I didn’t. Is oral reciprocation so necessary that it doesn’t matter that we agreed in advance that I would not be blowing him? Not One To Be Inconsiderate You did nothing wrong. And if after hearing your side of the story, NOTBI, your mutual friends side with a person who pressured you to do something you were clear about not wanting to do and then, after you restated your opposition to performing said act, pressured you to perform the act – by physically forcing your head down to his cock – you can solve the “mutual friends” problem by cutting these so-called friends out of your life.
