THE ORIGINAL HANDWRITTEN ORDER IS PRESERVED IN THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES.

Congress made Juneteenth a holiday, but mostly fails to actually help Black people BY JEFFREY C. BI L L M A N

On Saturday, the U.S. government cel-

ebrated Juneteenth National Independence Day for the first time, President Biden having signed a bill enshrining June 19 as a federal holiday two days earlier. Fourteen Republicans, all white men, voted against it in the House. “I cannot support efforts that furthers [sic] racial divisions in this country,” Arizona Rep. Paul Gosar said in a statement. Matt Rosendale of Montana called the holiday an “effort by the Left to create a day out of whole cloth to celebrate identity politics as part of its larger efforts to make Critical Race Theory the reigning ideology of our country.” More important than the rantings of those fringe clowns is the fact that 415 members of the House backed a bill that couldn’t get a vote last year. The Senate passed it by unanimous consent. The country now officially marks the day Union Maj. Gen. Gordon Granger issued General Order No. 3, informing enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, that they were 12

free. Every year, we’ll be reminded of this country’s darkest chapter. That’s good, I suppose. But a year into our supposed post-George Floyd reckoning — protests against police violence, economic inequity and systemic racism — this feels like a hollow, performative gesture. After all, this same Congress hasn’t raised the minimum wage or passed the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. It hasn’t abolished student loan debt or permanently expanded health care coverage or established paid childbirth leave and childcare subsidies. It won’t investigate the right-wing extremists who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6. And this same Congress has refused to protect the voting rights of Black Americans when they’ve come under threat. It made Juneteenth a holiday, but it won’t lift a finger to actually help Black people. If the White House can keep Senate Democrats in line — no sure thing — then paid leave, childcare and healthcare reforms might happen through a reconciliation bill later

this year. The rest will fall victim to Senate Republicans’ obstruction, assisted by Democrats’ fatal timidity. Sometimes the assistance is overt, like when eight Dems voted against hiking the minimum wage to $15 an hour. But it mostly takes the form of handwringing over the filibuster, a Senate anachronism historically deployed to oppose civil rights before Mitch McConnell weaponized it to oppose everything. Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona take the most heat for their fealty to the 60-vote threshold, but other Dems are also reluctant to change the rule. So on Tuesday, 50 senators will likely vote to advance the For the People Act, a voting-rights overhaul that ends partisan gerrymandering, bans voter purges, guarantees same-day registration, restores voting rights to former felons and generally tries to “unrig the game,” as one Democratic staffer put it. Though those 50 senators represent 41.5 million more Americans than the 50 who will vote against it — and though the vice president would break the tie in their favor, if the filibuster didn’t take that option off the table — the motion will fail, and the bill will stall. Down the road, Democrats might try to pass a compromise authored by Manchin, or the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, which reauthorizes a section of the Voting Rights Act that limits restrictions states can place on ballot access. Those will fail, too. Democrats have no hope of winning 10 Republican votes to rein in Republican election abuses, for the same reason they had no hope of winning 10 Republican votes to investigate an insurrection incited by a Republican president: Republicans benefit from doing nothing, so nothing gets done. As long as they give McConnell a veto, he’ll use it. Pressure will mount on Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to call a vote to nuke the filibuster. But he won’t, not unless he knows he’ll win. And unless Manchin and Sinema flip, that won’t happen. Neither shows any sign of budging. Sinema’s office told NBC News the senator supports the filibuster “not based on the importance of any particular policy” but “based on what is best for our democracy.” Such thinking requires an almost willful ignorance of what the Republican Party has become: a far-right movement unwilling to concede Donald Trump’s loss, unable to view any election it loses as legitimate, but “willing and potentially able to steal an election,” as the Harvard political scientist Steven Levitsky, co-author of the ominous How Democracies Die, recently said. When Schumer inevitably backs down, Democrats will have snatched an ignominious defeat from the jaws of victory, an own goal for the ages. Not only will they signal that they’re too feckless to stop McConnell from quashing their top agenda item, but they’ll give red states a green light to make a mockery of democracy — it’s not like they’ll do anything to stop them. They’ll also broadcast that civil rights take a backseat to an unrequited lust for bipartisanship. Indeed, according to Sinema, it’s “best for democracy” that Democrats sit on their hands while Republicans gut the right to vote and block legislation to address the racial wealth gap. But Juneteenth is a federal holiday now. So there’s that. feedback@orlandoweekly.com

Orlando music venues are still waiting on federal aid after months of bureaucratic gridlock It’s been nearly two months since applications were first due for lifesaving grants for shuttered music venues and concert halls, and of $16 billion available from the Small Business Association for these venues, only the monetary equivalent of a trickle of water in a desert has been awarded. This ride has been a very frustrating one for local venue owners, music promoters and performing arts organizations, who have yet to see tangible economic relief from the SBAadministered Shuttered Venue Operators Grant program created by the American Rescue Plan six months ago. Of nearly 14,000 application submitted by independent venue owners and concert promoters from around the country, only just over 400 have been approved as of last week. (Around half haven’t even been looked at yet.) The pace seems a bit lackadaisical for what is intended as emergency relief. “We remain dismayed that the life raft given to our industry by Congress back in December has yet to be implemented,” said Ken Stein, president and CEO of the League of Historic American Theatres, in a statement. “The funds are there. They have been there for six months. They need to be disbursed.” The SVOG program has been plagued by internal issues from the jump. SBA has acknowledged the delays in processing on their end to stakeholders. And that’s not even taking into account the online system crash in early April, which took down the application portal for weeks and left many frustrated applicants to start the complicated application process again from square one. Congress appears to be listening, at the very least. This week, U.S. Rep Val Demings from Orlando joined a bipartisan group of representatives in sending a letter to the SBA urging quick action in disbursing funds under SVOG. “We are hearing from venue operators who are days away from closing their doors if these funds are not sent soon. These small businesses not only provide good jobs and contribute economically to our local communities, they contribute to the spirit and local culture as well. We must act now,” read the letter. Despite a self-imposed June 9 deadline to start disbursing funds to businesses most grievously impacted by the pandemic and resulting closures, venues and promoters have been left to twist in the wind again, with little in the way of concrete action from SBA. “We’ve received nothing. The SBA has missed their own deadlines. Businesses have been struggling for 15 months. The funding was passed six months ago. This is inexcusable,” a regional Florida promoter told Orlando Weekly on condition of anonymity. “Belated promises to actually do the job they were tasked with six months ago are not a solution to anything.” — Matthew Moyer

¶ The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last week updated their guidance on the Delta variant of the novel coronavirus, calling it a “variant of concern,” meaning scientists believe there is evidence of increased transmissibility and increased disease severity. Previously they had labeled Delta a “variant of interest.” Gov. Ron DeSantis downplayed the potential impact it could have on the state, saying of the CDC guidance, “I think it gets put out there in ways designed to frighten people.” The Delta variant was first identified in India and was designated as a “variant of concern” by the World Health Organization on May 10. It now accounts for the majority of the coronavirus cases in the U.K., leading Prime Minister Boris Johnson to delay by four weeks the lifting of England’s lockdown restrictions. The variant is primarily spread through adolescents and children, which contradicts DeSantis’ repeated statements during the pandemic that children are not “vectors” or responsible for the spread of the virus. @Hillary Fenner DeSantis needs to stop acting like he is an infectious disease expert. @Minna Alstein I have no confidence in him as a leader. He takes way too many chances with Floridians. He wants cruise ships entering our ports not requiring vaccinations. Now he isn’t concerned with the variants. He does not deserve our trust. @Tracy Carpenter “Some of you may die ... but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make.” @Jason Darrough The messaging from the CDC is that there is risk that this Delta variant becomes the dominant strain in the US. The ask is that people continue in vaccination so we mitigate that risk. No need to be dismissive or defiant. A normal governor would stay in their lane and support that messaging as it is a reasonable request. … It’s time to stop politicizing this virus. @Dan Kaye He didn’t care about the virus in any capacity as long as he’s personally protected. @Mindy Hunter Well the good news, if there is any, of this POS being our governor is that we now know who all the stupid are as they are loud and proud. @Ron Howland I wonder why it’s so hard to find anyone who’s got sick or died? I know a couple people who said the doctor said they had it, but all they really had was the flu and they got over it in about a week or two, and some of these people are the old “ready to die anyway” type, and I ask a lot of people.

Checkup: Will the Florida GOP’s war on Obamcare ever end? After 11 years of being on the front lines of the battle against Obamacare, will last week’s U.S. Supreme Court ruling finally end Florida’s fierce resistance to the federal health care law? It may seem like ancient history now, but former Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum led the charge in the initial major challenge to the Affordable Care Act, filing the first lawsuit after then-President Barack Obama signed the landmark legislation. In a 5-4 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court in 2012 preserved much of the law. But the challenge resulted in an important concession, with the court holding that the government could not withhold federal Medicaid funds from states that didn’t expand Medicaid to low-income childless adults. To date, 12 states, including Florida, have not expanded Medicaid. Former Attorney General Pam Bondi added Florida to a separate challenge to Obamacare led by Texas. After taking office in early 2019, Attorney General Ashley Moody decided to keep Florida a part of the challenge, which ultimately was rejected Thursday in a 7-2 ruling by the high court. Moody said in a statement that her office would “respect” the ruling but vowed to continue to fight against “any federal overreach.” Scott’s office also weighed in and asserted that Obamacare was a failure. Democrats during this year’s legislative session repeatedly called for expanding Medicaid to low-income childless adults, but the issue never received consideration from Republicans who control the House, Senate and governor’s office. — Christine Sexton, NSF orlandoweekly.com

NEW NE WS PROMISE ON THE PATH AHEAD After years of organizing, adjunct faculty at Valencia College decisively vote to unionize BY MCKEN N A SCHU EL ER

fter five years of organizing at Florida’s second-largest state college, adjunct faculty at Valencia College have successfully formed a

union. The election held by Florida’s Public Employees Relation Commission closed last Wednesday and a vote count confirmed the faculty wished to unionize. With this, adjunct professors at Valencia join more than 10,000 adjunct faculty in the Florida College System (formerly known as the Florida Community College System) who have either successfully unionized or are on the path to union representation, according to a press release released by the Service Employees International Union-Florida Public Services Union. In just five years, half of Florida College System adjunct professors — who are employed as parttime instructors — have either filed for or formed a union, according to SEIU-FPSU, which represents about 60,000 adjunct faculty nationwide, including adjuncts at the University of South Florida, Seminole State College, St. Petersburg College, Miami Dade College, Hillsborough Community College and Broward College. “I am so excited for this win today!” said Teresa Greene, an adjunct professor of psychology, in a press release about the union victory. In an interview with Orlando Weekly, she added, “This is the culmination of four years of effort: having conversations, building relationships, making phone calls and knocking on doors assessing the working conditions of adjuncts from their perspectives.” Greene, who’s worked at Valencia since 2006, first began talking to her colleagues about forming a union in 2014. Greene said she and her colleagues started out by just sharing complaints about their work over lunch. Not complaints about their students, but grievances over ongoing pay inequities, lack of healthcare, and a general lack of respect from the college administration, whose institution they had worked tirelessly to make a successful and supportive environment for students — the majority of whom are non-white, female, and are enrolled part-time. Back then, Greene said, they weren’t necessarily mulling over the idea of forming a union. There was another professor in her department that was interested in the idea, she says, but at that point, they were really more focused on what would need to precede such a move: talking to her colleagues about the changes they’d like to see, and communicating with the college administration to try and secure these changes without a union. But over time, Greene said it became clearer to

her and others that those efforts weren’t going to yield the changes that they wanted and needed. Adjunct faculty make up about 70 percent of total faculty at Valencia College. On average, they make about $2,000 per three-credit course, and adjuncts teach anywhere from one to six courses a semester, often juggling multiple jobs with no guarantee of what their course load will look like until weeks before semesters are scheduled to begin. As previously reported, the Valencia College administration ran a stunningly well-funded campaign against adjuncts’ organizing efforts, building out an entire section on their website dedicated to anti-union messaging and paying “union avoidance” lawyers with the law

Many adjuncts make time to talk with students before or after class, though the college does not provide office space nor compensate the professors for these impromptu ‘office hours.’ firm Allen Norton & Blue tens of thousands of dollars in recent years — including up to $8,000 a month in 2020, per invoices acquired by Orlando Weekly. Meanwhile, some adjunct professors at Valencia struggled to meet basic needs. With unexpected course cancellations, a lack of employee-provided healthcare, and no absolute guarantees for work, adjuncts — who play a pivotal role in the success of the college and students’ education — felt the weight of their insecure employment keenly. Last spring, Valencia fully transitioned their courses to a virtual classroom to avoid the spread of the deadly coronavirus, offering a Digital Professor Certification pro-

gram for faculty to help prepare them for online teaching. Greene says this transition was the right decision at the time. Nonetheless, not everyone found it to be seamless. While some professors, like Greene, were able to adapt to a fully virtual teaching environment, others were left behind and ultimately lost their workload. Adjuncts say that it shouldn’t have to be this way. “You can’t really survive on an adjunct salary,” says Dr. Joseph Angley, 62, an adjunct professor in Valencia’s Biological Sciences department. Angley, who has a doctorate degree in Environmental Engineering Sciences, told Orlando Weekly that he makes about $2,500 a course, which for him comes out to roughly $150 a week. “We’re very committed to our students,” Angley says, adding that students at Valencia aren’t explicitly made aware of whether their professors are full-time or parttime faculty. As a result, they may be just as likely to assume all professors are in a secure position — with adequate office space, stable work and fair compensation for the time and effort they put into fostering a supportive learning environment. Angley says he’s not allowed to hold office hours as part-time faculty. And, still, many adjuncts, himself included, do make time to talk with students who catch them before or after class, regardless of the fact that it’s uncompensated. Despite the unexpected hardships of the last year, in work and more broadly as individuals living through a global pandemic, adjuncts at Valencia were not deterred. They continued organizing, and showed up in solidarity with movements for Florida’s $15 minimum wage increase last year and Black Lives Matter. Simultaneously, they persisted in efforts to secure a union election — to get to a point where they could begin negotiating a contract with Valencia, collectively and with union representation at the bargaining table. In the last year, Valencia adjuncts successfully organized for a 2.5 percent wage increase, $500 stipends for completing a virtual instruction certification program, and the creation of over 200 Visiting Professor positions that will offer eight-month contracts for full-time work with benefits, made possible through COVID-19 emergency relief funding. The college has disputed the role of the adjunct organizing committee in securing these victories, but adjuncts maintain that — without their collective pressure — these wins would not have materialized. With this election, nearly 1,300 adjunct faculty members at Valencia will now have union representation with SEIU-FPSU, through which adjuncts can advocate for lasting improvements in their workplace — for current and future part-time faculty. Just earlier this month, a spokesperson for Valencia confirmed with Orlando Weekly that they’d be ready to bargain with the union, should the union be successful in their election. And although the process of negotiating a union contract with employers can take time — months or even years — adjuncts like Angley see promise in the path that lies ahead: “We have our union and a voice that we never had before.”

KICK ROCKS, ZOOM!

BRIAN REGAN 8 p.m. Friday, June 25 Walt Disney Theater, Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, 445 S. Magnolia Ave. drphillipscenter.org $50-$115

Comedians’ comedian Brian Regan refuses to be confined to a computer screen BY ALI LERMAN

taying motivated during the last year says a lot about a man, and when it comes to comedian Brian Regan, his actions speak volumes. While we were doom-scrolling in our pajamas, his third special, Brian Regan: On the Rocks, came out on Netflix. While we were proofing our sourdough, he was playing Mugsy on Amazon Prime’s Loudermilk. And his five decades of touring — which have made him one of the comedians most respected by other comedians — are testament to his ferocious work ethic. Brian is still keeping it moving, but this time, he’s coming straight to us at the Dr. Phillips Center on June 25. He’s proof that in this crazy world, hard work pays off. This Friday, Orlando gets to reap the benefits.

Orlando Weekly: With a ton of clubs closed in the last year, where did you work out your material for your new Netflix special, “On the Rocks”? Brian Regan: Well, I would just go out to parks and grab

people at random and say, “Hey, do you have an hour?” No, I actually did shows. I think I went out sooner than most when the pandemic hit. I mean, I shut down like everyone else did, but I knew I had this special slated to shoot in October 2020. So in late July, I started going out to comedy clubs. I haven’t really played comedy clubs in years, but theaters weren’t open and comedy clubs were with social distancing. So I went and did some places like that. I did comedy clubs, outdoor venues, and I did a couple of drive-in movie theaters. Which I am trying to forget.

It was fun to watch comics get even more creative with ways to do comedy. Especially with Zoom. That’s a hard one for all of us, but I admire the hustle.

of rules with Zoom comedy! Although I did the Tonight Show a couple of months ago by Zoom and I kind of wish I had done a couple of Zooms prior to that so I would have been more prepared. When I watched it back, I thought it looked fine but as I was doing it, it felt kind of weird. Hopefully that will phase out more and more. And you’re doing your part coming to Orlando. Being that you’re from Miami, would you consider yourself the Dan Marino of comedy?

Well, when I’m feeling egotistical, I do! [laughs] Dan Marino was obviously a great quarterback. He wasn’t ever able to get the Super Bowl done, but that’s not a knock against him. I think I’m more of a … hold on, I’m trying to pick someone more obscure … I’m the Mercury Morris of comedy. We’re trying to sell your show here! OK, let’s try this. What do you think is more entertaining, Walt Disney World as a whole, or your upcoming show in the Walt Disney Theater at the Dr. Phillips Center?

Yeah, me too. I didn’t go the Zoom route, although a lot of I’m not very good at promoting myself. I’m going to friends did. I was invited to do some of those things, and I sup- say, if you’re on the fence about Disney World as a whole port anybody going after anything. But for me, I didn’t want to or me, go to Disney World. give up on the idea that stand-up comedy should be a comic standing in front of an audience. But they can go to Disney World anytime! You’re only going to be there one night! I watched one Zoom comedy show and it felt off. Like, they didn’t even know if I was laughing or loading the dishwasher. I can’t imagine how it felt for a comic.

Maybe you should be my publicist instead of me. You can write an answer where I have one word in bold and the rest is you.

I’ve heard from comedians who have done them, and they had to learn how to do it. And sometimes they had the audience Well, OK: “Go see Brian Regan at the Dr. Phillips Center in little squares on their computer and they would ask people to because his show is better than Disney World as a whole. But unmute their computers so they could hear the laughter. only this Friday, June 25.” Unless they had a dog. Please unmute unless you have a pet Great work. or you are doing home construction. There sure seem to be a lot arts@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

Kevin Kelly debuted his new jazz trio at Timucua Arts with a careful balance of charismatic charm and selfdeprecating humor

Two of the activities I’ve missed

the most over the past 18-odd months were spending the evening socializing at a friend’s house and enjoying an intimate musical performance in an indoor venue. Last week, I killed two pandemic-era birds with one stone by attending a cabaret concert by local crooner Kevin Kelly and his brand-new jazz trio, the Mood Swings, at the Timucua Arts Foundation. For more than two decades, former Cirque du Soleil music director Benoit Glazer and his wife, Elaine Corriveau, have been inviting Orlando arts patrons into their home for live performances and literary events. Over the years, they’ve poured more than $2.5 million dollars of their own money (or, as Glazer says, “all of it”) into the world-class 100-seat concert venue that forms the heart of their big white SoDo house. The space was recently upgraded with a state-of-the art Acoustic Control Systems sound system, a marvel of engineering that can replicate the acoustics of a concert hall, a cathedral or a castle. All that made Timucua the perfect place for Kelly to debut his new combo in a free concert for friends and supporters — including city commissioner Patty Sheehan — which doubled as a promotional shoot for this fresh act, which he hopes to take on the road. Clad in a sparkling turquoise retro tuxedo jacket created by producerdesigner Skip Stewart, Kelly commanded the stage with a careful balance of charismatic charm and self-deprecating humor. After an ebullient opening rendition of “The Best Is Yet to Come,” Kelly welcomed his audience with an anecdote about his unfortunate early career playing piano in a shopping mall food court, then launched into a loving tribute to Lena Horne and Harold Arlen. The first half-hour of Kelly’s Timucua comeback concentrated on Frank Sinatra standards and other Rat Pack favorites, with

a swinging sing-along rendition of “Bad, Bad Leroy Brown” that nearly brought down the roof. In the second section, Kelly and crew shifted seasons to present a sample of his new Swinging Christmas Party show, featuring Louis Armstrong’s “Have a Yule That’s Cool” and other mod mistletoe melodies. Between songs, Kelly bantered comfortably with the band and audience, unveiling embarrassing family stories and unleashing an avalanche of groan-worthy dad jokes. Putting together the Mood Swings, which Kelly calls a “dream child,” has been the culmination of a two-year process that Stewart pushed him into pursuing. The shows were written during the pandemic with a focus on “keeping them up and swinging and fun, trying to do a new spin on all the old chestnuts that we’ve done.” Aside from a handful of live performances last holiday season, Kelly has spent much of the past year moving his private performance coaching business online at kevinkellyteachesyou.com, as well as building up theconnectedperformer.com, a nationwide audition-coaching service he operates with fellow local singer Natalie Cordone. “We help young actors who have recently graduated and just dropped into the

workforce and don’t know how to be an actor professionally,” Kelly explains. “We actually set up the model on Zoom before the pandemic [when] nobody knew how to use it, and now suddenly everybody does, which is really good for us.” Kevin Kelly Sings at the White House was a one-night-only affair, but if you missed it you can catch him in July at the Villages’ Savannah Center as Nathan Detroit in Guys & Dolls, a role he says he’s “wanted to do for a long time, so I’m really psyched about.” Immediately after that, Kelly will star in the concert revival of [title of show] at the Abbey, reuniting under director Kenny Howard with most of the cast that appeared in Orlando’s acclaimed 2020 production. (The remounting had originally been scheduled for February, but was postponed due to COVID.) “It’s good to be back on the stage,” Kelly told me after the performance, admitting that he “got a little choked up” being able to perform for a maskless full-capacity crowd again. Watching my seatmates wipe away a tear or two as Kelly wrapped up his joyful Christmas in June with a little “Winter Wonderland,” I can say for certain that he wasn’t the only emotional one in the house. skubersky@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

Soseki, a cozy 10-seat ‘modern omakase,’ brings creativity and spectacle to Winter Park BY FAIYAZ KARA

Denni Cha, Collantes’ partner in the venture, left led to a new type of restaurant — the kind with just within weeks of opening for personal reasons, but talented a handful of seats and a counter behind which chefs journeyman chef Tadateru “CJ” Tokudaiji came on as chef showcase their creativity through a multicourse offering of de cuisine. Along with sous-chef Kevin Abanilla, the trio tweezered fare employing high-end ingredients, all for a present elevated 15-course ($150) and 20-course ($185) cost equivalent to a month’s rent (depending on where you meals.

They can seem like pretentious, “act” that followed was a simple presentation of medai unapproachable, posh-over-portion affairs not worth the with kumquat, and marinated yellowfin tuna zuke with price of admission. Personally, I enjoy them. They’ve black sesame. Three other such “acts” followed through afforded me with some memorable meals (like the crab the course of the evening, from 25-day aged chutoro described above), and Soseki — a 10-seat “modern omak- topped with Kaluga caviar to applewood-smoked kohada ase” from Mike Collantes (Taglish, Perla’s Pizza) — is no (gizzard shad) cured in salt and vinegar.

Creativity, an essential component of today’s omakase houses, was on full display here. The sinfonía de tomate conducted by chef CJ was an Alinea-inspired composition of four movements: 1) Eat the lemon verbena-compressed cherry tomato graced with gossamer tomato seed “glass” (it’s made using kuzu starch); 2) dip the noodles of cucumber and julienned myoga (Japanese ginger) into the gazpacho broth and slurp them; 3) stir the spoon holding a foamy tomato water “cloud” with micro basil and dehydrated tomato skin into the leftover gazpacho broth; and 4) drink the broth like a soba-ya. There was enough artistry in the “fish and chips” to give a Brit a case of the collywobbles. Sorry, ol’ chap, but no malt vinegar or tartar sauce comes with this serving of cubed kampachi draped with wisps of sunchoke chips, pickled berries and fennel pollen. The most stunning dish of all, and easily one of the prettiest things I’ve ever been served, was a bowl of wood ear fungi topped with a soy-marinated egg garnished with scallion slivers and sujiko (salmon roe). But it was the vertically positioned rice crackers that lent a dramatic and ethereal effect. If you ask me, the dish is worthy of being offered at Kusabira Jinja, the Shinto shrine to mushrooms near Kusatsu, Japan. But not everything here is so gravely serious. In fact, Collantes quite enjoys hamming it up and cracking a corny joke or two with the gathered. The trio get playful in an edible homage to Katz’s Deli with a pastrami-cured foie torchon on burnt milk bread with radish, avocado and crispy fried shallots. “It’s a dish we researched and couldn’t find anywhere else, so we did it,” says Collantes. Evidently, CJ’s secret foie gras cure has more than 10 different ingredients and spices. “I want to give diners more than just good food,” says CJ. “Just good food is boring. I want to give them an experience and present food in a unique way.” He sure as hell does that with a spectacular plating of curly kale in the duck dish. It looked like a portal beckoning us into some sinister dimension, but it was just dehydrated kale sitting atop pear chutney. There wasn’t a single person who didn’t ooh or ahh after catching sight of it. And the spectacle continued through to dessert with the “mat-cho,” a stunning closer resembling a bird’s nest. Milk chocolate ganache, burnt marshmallow and frozen matcha sponge cake formed the base of the nest, with the “twigs” fashioned from dark chocolate. Toasted almonds and viola petals completed the multilayering effect. The twigs, says chef CJ, were inspired by the Anping Tree House in Taiwan and the trees at Angkor Wat. (If you’re not familiar, they kinda looked like Groot.) BTW: Utensils for each guest are kept inside a notso-secret “secret drawer,” which I really liked. It helped maintain that tidy aesthetic. What I didn’t care for was the stage lighting — Insta-friendly, yes, but a bit too harsh and intrusive in this cozy space. The acoustics seemed a bit off, too. My dining comrade remarked that, at times, it was hard to hear details of a dish and its respective pairing which, it should be noted, were expertly curated. Even the music was inconsistent in volume — but these are all elements that can be easily rectified. Hell, I can tell you that about five courses in, most people were fuller, a little drunker and a whole lot happier than when they first entered. It’s a global culinary experience they craved, and warming up to it was a given.

KOMBU SUSHI RAMEN

In a less-glamorous, half-forgotten strip of Winter Park, Kombu Sushi Ramen maintains a fittingly low profile, serving a so-so mix of sushi, ramen and donburi. Kombu likely won’t be mentioned among the city’s elite sushi or ramen spots, but it’s bringing a foodie-fave cuisine to a neglected sector, and as local tastes are elevated, the kitchen may rise to meet them. Closed Mondays. (reviewed June 16) 7325 Aloma Ave., Winter Park, 321-972-9965, facebook.com/ kombusushiramen, $$

FINANCIER BISTRO & BAR

The French patisserie-cum-bistro in Winter Park serves bistro classics as elegant as the restaurant itself, be it a properly Gruyère’d and bechamel’d croque-monsieur or a gorgeous ratatouille with arugula pistou. The pistou also makes an appearance in the burrata with heirloom cherry tomatoes. While perfectly roasted and crisp-skinned, the poulet rôti is a bit pricey. So is the burger with caramelized onions, barbecue-like house sauce and melted Gruyère running down the sides, but it’s a beaut. End with chocolate-hazelnut croissants or the flawless Madagascar vanilla crème brûlée. Closed Mondays. (reviewed June 9) 212 N. Park Ave., Winter Park, 321-972-2284, financierbistrobar.com, $$

FIRST WATCH

First Watch has a fresh new look, vibe and approach to daytime dining. Grease and deep fryers have been replaced by a healthier approach to cooking, be it the un-fried chickichanga or the less fatty biscuits and turkey sausage gravy. Other items we’d get again: ricotta pancakes served with lemon curd; the “elevated” egg sandwich; and the roast beef with horseradish-havarti sandwich, a lunchtime (or early dinner) favorite. There’s a separate kitchen and entrance area for takeout orders. Fresh juice tonics and boozy bevs are also offered. Open daily until 2:30 p.m. (reviewed June 2) 140 N. Orlando Ave., Winter Park, 407-287-9034, firstwatch.com, $$ CONTINUED ON PAGE 39

THE HAMPTON SOCIAL

whopping (but fair) $1,000 if you’re not. It’s a brilliant and pointedly punk tactic to keep everyone safe and accountable without dictating anyone’s behavior. It even taught Teenage Bottlerocket a lesson in keyboard commandos. “We want to take responsibility for our fans. We want to make sure our fans and the bands are safe,” Carlisle says. “People who got vaccinated don’t have a militia they put together, but the anti-vax people definitely have a militia, and they definitely attack people.” To the anti-vax Twitter army, he has a firm message: “Don’t pretend you know who Teenage Bottlerocket is!” Twitter trolls aside, the tour is heading across the country as you read these words. So how exactly does a band write a post-apocalyptic setlist? “Well, I haven’t done it yet,” answers Carlisle with a laugh. “We’re so stoked to be back in Orlando and playing Will’s Pub — it’s my favorite place to play there. The last time we played, though, we had partied way too hard in West Palm Beach the night before and we kind of played terrible the next day. Somebody professionally recorded it … so you can watch us playing terribly hungover, or you can come see us play at Will’s Pub for real.” Carlisle also assures OW that Orlandoans can expect fan-favorite tunes alongside brand-new material. Teenage Bottlerocket is set to release a new full-length, Sick Sesh!, in August on Fat Wreck Chords and just dropped new single and video “Ghost Story” last week, so expect quite a few sneak previews. Talking about Sick Sesh!, Carlisle mentions darker songs sitting alongside love songs, with a few numbers written by bandmate and bassist Miguel Chen, but the song, ultimately, remains the same: Loud fast rules. “We have not strayed too far from the path of the Ramones. There’s more of that coming everyone’s way and we’re super proud of it,” promises Carlisle. Teenage Bottlerocket’s sound and style has been rooted in a deep affection for early punk rock since the band started, at a time when the scene was becoming, according to Carlisle, “overly self-indulgent.” The Carlisles decided to keep their sound primal and lean and pay homage to punk’s wild roots when they formed Teenage Bottlerocket. “‘Let’s strip it all down, let’s get back into our Chuck Taylors and blue jeans, get our leather jackets out of the closet,’” remembers Carlisle. “The punk rock we fell in love with to begin with had been washed away … [so] let’s play this type of music regardless of what anyone’s response is. We play music for ourselves rather than try to prove to people that we’re good, or trying to get people to like us. And then when we did that, everyone liked us.” There’s no doubt Teenage Bottlerocket knows exactly who they are, and they’re ready to remind you of that, too. So shut up and get rad because come June 29, it’s time to “skate or die,” Orlando.

BY B AO L E - H U U HESITANT WAITRESS | PHOTO BY ANNA BRANCH

LOCAL RELEASES

New Orlando act Hesitant Waitress just debuted with a set of demos titled Temperance. Although the guise is novel, Hesitant Waitress is the current vehicle of Emma Branch, a musician who was around the Orlando scene as a youngster in the late 2000s before moving away and then back after some years. Though this new EP is but a demo, it’s a four-song document that signals what could be Branch’s most impressive and cogent look yet. The recordings — all performed and produced herself — may be introductory and rough, but Temperance delivers indie pop of immediate instinct. Evoking Seapony’s soft, pristine hooks and Alvvays’ breathy swoon, the feathered melodies float on dream clouds, suspended in the sweetest of spots. Surrounding them are sounds colored with character using a wide palette that sometimes crosses over into noise pop. Nascent glimpses though they are, these songs are nonetheless radiant with promise. As Hesitant Waitress, Emma Branch is back in the game, back in town and better than ever before. Temperance is up now on Bandcamp and Spotify. In singles, there are a couple of fresh rap tracks ready for your summer playlist. The first and catchiest is “Faster Please” by colorful Orlando collective Seeyousoon. A motley rhyme crew that’s not just nine members deep but nine personalities wide, this young group is a modern kaleidoscope in look and sound. Their prolific output so far has an eclectic and roaming sonic profile, but this latest single is a laser-focused jam. The irresist-

As Hesitant Waitress, Emma Branch is back in the game, back in town and better than ever before with a set of radiant indiepop songs

ible “Faster Please” is a slinky banger that funks, pops and snaps on a taut, liquid groove. It’s three hot minutes crammed tight without an ounce of drag, and it’s easily Seeyousoon’s most effortless and floor-ready song to date. The video’s got as much flow and rhythm as the song. Further outward on the spectrum, O-grown left-field hip-hop duo Ohtwo just dropped new single “Whole Pack (Chasinat).” Throbbing in a dreamworld between half-sleep and hypnosis, it’s a circular lullaby that spirals down into the unwitting consciousness like a dark trap spell. Up on Bandcamp as a name-yourprice download, it’s cheaper than drugs but just as effective.

MUSIC EVENTS THIS WEEK Patterson Hood: Landing the DriveBy Truckers frontman for the first of only two Florida dates is as big a shot across the bow as Tuffy’s has fired so far this year, now that the Sanford spot has its own proper live venue. This solo engagement is a chance to be up front and intimate with a certified A-lister and mod-

ern Americana master. (7 p.m. Wednesday, June 23, Tuffy’s Music Box, $30-$65) SET, Syn Nine, DJ Maus: OK, so all your black leather has been gathering pandemic dust over the past year. I feel you, I think. Here’s a prime opportunity to strap it on again with a bill that’s tailor-made for the cyber freaks. Between the witch house of Arizona’s Set, the industrial drive of Orlando’s Syn Nine and the dark sounds of Tampa’s DJ Maus (of Communion After Dark and Obscura Undead), this one’s worth getting decked out for. Best masks in town tonight, guaranteed. (8 p.m. Friday, June 25, Will’s Pub, $12) Teenage Bottlerocket: Their name’s been popping up in the news lately because of their St. Pete show three days before this Orlando date. The pop-punk stars are on their “Safety First, Party Second” tour, and that sentiment was sensationally amplified by promoter Paul Williams of Leadfoot Promotions when tickets were being sold at $18 for vaccinated people and $999.99 for those who aren’t. Well, the Orlando show’s $3 cheaper for the vaccinated and $100 more expensive for the unvaxxed. Only the first part of that sentence is actually true but the second should be, too, because this is Florida. Oh well, go get the GD shot already, people. There is a mask requirement for this show, so there. And definitely show up early for Fat Wreck Chords labelmates MakeWar and Orlando punk standouts Debt Neglector.

ORLANDO WEEKLY ● JUNE 23-29, 2021 ● orlandoweekly.com

“KNOWING YOU” I’m a 40-year-old gay man. I live in a big city, in a dense neighborhood. While I’ve been working from home during COVID, I’ve been sitting at my kitchen table facing a big window. Across the alley is an apartment with a deck. At one point, I noticed a cute young muscular guy outside. I ran into this guy a few weeks later at a neighborhood liquor store. While I was looking at porn one night, I was stunned to find his nudes and a link to his OnlyFans. I instantly subscribed, went through everything, including his gay sex vids, and, yeah, I came. I tipped him and put in a few comments about what kind of content he should put up next. He took my suggestions and I tipped him again. About a week ago he knocked on my door and asked if I had jumper cables. That night, I found a six-pack of beer by my door and a note from him thanking me for my help. I got back on his page and came so hard as I drank his beer. I don’t want to have sex with this guy — he’s not really my type and he’s too young. I do get off on knowing that I can pull up his dick pics whenever I want and that he will do anything for a few bucks. But I question if I’m crossing a line. He obviously doesn’t know his neighbor is jerking off to him and probably wants to keep his porn life separate from his private life. Should I feel gross about this? Rear Window You know something about your neighbor that your neighbor doesn’t know you know about him, RW, and knowledge is power, and having power over someone can be sexy. Power imbalances are such a turn-on that people will manufacture them in their absence. For some people having less power (or giving up the power they have) is a turnon; for others having more power (or being granted more power) is a turn-on. So long as everything is consensual and no one is being exploited or exploitative, RW, no one has to feel gross about it. (Please note: Making sure no one is being exploited during consensual power play or during consensual sex in the presence of a significant power imbalance requires thoughtful self-scrutiny, solid communication skills and a willingness to negotiate and renegotiate.) What you’re doing is consensual and no one is being exploited. Your hot neighbor is putting his content out there for gay and bi men to enjoy — and straight and bi women too — and being recognized by someone at the liquor store or on the street was always a risk. Jacking off to your neighbor’s videos and enjoying the very slight power imbalance and helping him pay his bills in the process isn’t gross. It’s the modern porn business working as intended.

But even if your hot neighbor feels no shame about the work he does — and here’s hoping he doesn’t, because there’s nothing shameful about it — he may not care to be reminded that his neighbors could be jerking off to him. (Or have it confirmed that at least one is.) If you get to know him better and he brings up what he does for a living, RW, then you should tell him you’re a subscriber. But until that point, err on the side of keeping your mouth shut and your wallet open. You’re not endorsing or reinforcing shame about making porn by being discreet; instead you’re making a reasonable assumption about a boundary someone in his position is very likely to have and respecting that assumed boundary. And finally, RW, I’m not sure I believe you when you say this guy isn’t your type, considering the number of loads you’ve blown while watching his porn. My girlfriend gave me an impromptu blowjob on our way to a party. When we arrived, she kissed our host — a mutual (and vaccinated) friend — on the lips. This friend gave my girlfriend a strange look. I practice good personal hygiene but we’re pretty sure our host could smell my dick on my girlfriend. Should she have refrained from kissing the host? Excused herself to wash her face first? What’s the protocol here? Where That Mouth Has Been Kissing someone after they’ve given a blowjob to someone else … it’s a risk we all take when we kiss people we aren’t dating. Hell, it’s a risk some of us take when we kiss the people we are dating. But as a courtesy to others, someone who’s just given a blowjob should go for the cheek instead. Unless they’re kissing the person they just blew, of course, in which case: wide-open mouth with tongue. I am a newly polyamorous woman in my late 30s. I am part of a triad, which is so fun and amazing, and I also have a boyfriend. The boyfriend is why I am writing. We have some serious NRE and have been spending a lot of time together. I recently met his girlfriend of 1.5 years and it derailed things for me. He has been sharing every detail of our relationship with her. She knew everything about me, every private joke we shared, and so much about our intimacy that it made me incredibly uncomfortable. I knew next to nothing about her and it was quite awkward for me. It turns out this was a boundary that I didn’t know I had. I feel betrayed, like there was a secret voyeur in our relationship. I am really into this

guy, but I don’t know how to move forward. How can I feel like we’re sharing something special when he goes back to his other partner and tells her everything? He said he could adjust his behavior, but I don’t want to make someone change or have to trust that he’s not reporting everything back to her. Is this something I just have to deal with in polyamorous relationships? Newly Poly Problems You don’t want your boyfriend to do anything differently, but you also don’t want him to keep doing what he’s doing. Sorry, NPP, but you’re going to have to pick one: He’s going to change for you, i.e. he’s going to “adjust his behavior” and stop telling his other girlfriend everything, or he’s not going to change and you’re going to get over his other girlfriend knowing everything. Or if the issue was his other girlfriend knowing everything about you while you knew next to nothing about her, NPP, your boyfriend could “adjust his behavior,” aka “change,” by telling you everything about her from here on out. Or, third option (or is it the fourth option? I’ve lost track): You could dump him. If you don’t want him to change and you also don’t want him to keep doing what he’s been doing to you, NPP, then let him to do it to someone else. Is there a way forward if you want to stay together? There could be. It would help to know why he was treating you differently. Have you asked? It could be that his other girlfriend wants to hear the details about the other people he dates — maybe hearing the details turns her on, maybe hearing the details makes her feel more secure, maybe it’s a little bit of both — and he’s too thoughtless or too scared or too inexperienced to ask what you wanted. If he’s apologized to you and explained the differing treatment — and if the apology seemed sincere and the explanation was satisfactory — you could let him adjust his behavior to make you feel more comfortable and then give him enough time to prove that he has changed … if you’ll allow him to change. And finally, NPP, this is something you’re going to have to get used to as you continue to explore polyamory. Most polyamorous couples err on the side of sharing too much rather than too little. Some poly people only want a rough outline about their partners’ other partners, NPP, but some want to hear every last detail. If you don’t want someone you’re dating to share intimate details with their other partner(s), you’ll have to ask them not to share.

Meet Bubba! Bubba (A447280) is 7 years old. He was surrendered by his previous owner who moved and could not take Bubba along. According to Bubba’s previous owner he is housebroken, knows basic commands, is friendly with men, women and children, and is selective with which dogs he interacts with. Bubba enjoys belly rubs and walks, and takes treats gently. He has been neutered, microchipped, vaccinated and is ready to go home the same day he is adopted! The phrase “It’s raining cats and dogs!” may sound cute, but it’s a reality for animal shelters in the Central Florida area. Orange County Animal Services and the surrounding shelters are all nearing capacity, as summer is the most difficult time of year. During the month of June, adoption fees are reduced to just $10 for all ready-to-go dogs and cats. Those are pets that have already been spayed or neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. Orange County Animal Services is located at 2769 Conroy Road in Orlando, near the Mall at Millenia. The shelter is open 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 1-5 p.m. Sunday.
