Readers react to stories from last week. On June 18, we reported that President Donald Trump tweeted last Monday evening that the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency would begin conducting mass arrests with the hopes of deporting “millions” of immigrants out of the country. At the moment it’s unclear how ICE could possibly deport “millions” of people. @Carlos Flores It’s just more racist rhetoric to energize his base right before launching his re-election campaign. Same broken record but it gives them a hard-on. @Ruby DeLeon If this was your child or loved one, how would you react? Life is a boomerang. Never say never. @Ryan Pembo Dude can’t even deport Putin’s balls out his mouth. How’s he gonna pull this off?

Also on June 18, we reported on Wally’s Mills Avenue Liquors’ grand reopening after the beloved local dive bar – or, well, what once was a dive bar – closed in August last year. We learned that much of the interior has been gutted to open up the space, including the wall of coolers that used to separate the barroom from the liquor store side. The jukebox is gone, but they take credit cards now, and it’s non-smoking. @Kelly Palpant If I’m not sitting in that smoky-ass room being served an 8-ounce pour of well vodka for $2.50 by the same friendly ladies puffing on their cigarettes, I’m not going. @Jeffrey Snyder Looking forward to the Disney Springs location. @Jeanie Crawford I guess [Orlando attorney] John Morgan’s tab is going to be a lot higher if he tries to buy everyone a drink in there now.

ORIGINAL SIN How Mitch McConnell and I – and every other white person – have benefited from white supremacy at the expense of our black neighbors BY JE FFREY C. BILL M A N

“I don’t think reparations for some-

thing that happened 150 years ago for whom none of us currently living are responsible is a good idea,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told reporters last week, as House Democrats prepared the first-ever hearing on the subject. “We’ve tried to deal with our original sin of slavery by fighting a civil war, by passing landmark civil rights legislation. We elected an African American president.” Ignore how much work the word “we” is doing in that sentence – as if McConnell hadn’t spent his career fighting civil rights and literally breaking the Senate to weaken Barack Obama. Ignore, too, at least for now, the question of how reparations would work. Instead, focus on the most important phrase in the quote, the one conservatives have been using to shift blame away from institutions to individuals who have long since been worm food: “for whom none of us currently living are responsible.” It would take more space than I have to demonstrate all the ways in which this statement is profoundly ahistorical and intentionally misleading. But let’s start with the basics: Freed slaves were promised 40 acres and a mule; they didn’t get it. During Reconstruction, they were promised political power; white supremacists stole that, then violently subjugated them under Jim Crow. African Americans were denied access to jobs and economic and educational opportunities; black children were segregated into dilapidated schools. During the New Deal and in the postwar era, the federal government actively prevented African Americans from obtaining mortgages, effectively blocking them from building equity and passing along generational wealth to their descendants. Meanwhile, local and federal housing policy forced African Americans into neglected housing projects that quickly became slums overrun by poverty and violence. Black neighborhoods were bulldozed in the name of “urban renewal” projects, their residents forced into those slums. From their comfy picket-fence suburbs, white folks shook their heads in patriarchal disappointment. But then those white folks’ kids decided they wanted to move back into the cities, and these onceundesirable slums became hip, “up-and-coming” neighborhoods, where houses were bought on the cheap, gutted and flipped – and the black people who lived there for generations could no longer afford to do so. History didn’t stop with the Emancipation

Proclamation, or Appomattox, or Juneteenth, or Reconstruction, or Brown v. Board of Education, or the Civil Rights Act, or the appointment of Thurgood Marshall, or the Voting Rights Act, or the election of Barack Obama. Here’s the thing about what Mitch McConnell called “our original sin”: To put it biblically, I didn’t bite the apple, but Eve’s sin corrupted me all the same. McConnell never owned a slave, but he’s benefited from slavery and the institutions of white supremacy that followed. So have I. So has every white person in the United States – rich or poor, educated or not – and we’ve done so at the direct expense of our black neighbors. There’s a human instinct to chalk up our accomplishments to our own intellect or effort rather than our circumstance, but that’s really not how it works. A black American child born into the bottom fifth of household incomes has only a 2.5% chance of rising to the top fifth of incomes. A white child born into the same circumstance has a 10.6% chance of making that climb. And black kids born into the top quintile are almost as likely to fall to the bottom as to stay at the top, while white children are five times more likely to stay wealthy than to sink. “Because of these differences in economic mobility, blacks … are ‘stuck in place’ across generations,” according to a recent report from the Equality of Opportunity Project. “Their positions in the income distribution are unlikely to change over time without efforts to increase their rates of upward mobility.” Here’s what “stuck in place” looks like: White households are worth about 20 times more than black households, and that statistic hasn’t meaningfully changed in 50 years, as Ta-Nehisi Coates pointed out in

The Atlantic. Unless you believe that African Americans are inherently lazier or less intelligent than whites – which, by definition, makes you a white supremacist – that points to institutions rather than individuals as the root issue, which means that our original sin is society’s cross to bear. That brings us to reparations. In 2015, a policy analyst estimated in the journal Social Science Quarterly that the price tag for the stolen labor of enslaved persons could top $14 trillion – about four times what the federal government expects to raise in tax revenue this year. That’s a lot of money. And the logistics could get messy: Should reparations be in cash or social programs? Should they be limited to descendants of enslaved persons or all African Americans? But these are, at minimum, questions worth exploring. That’s what House Democrats (and a few presidential wannabes) want to do – and Republicans want no part of. In their view, slavery is long gone. White supremacy is an anachronism. There’s no point in revisiting it, and certainly no point in redistributing funds to compensate those who’ve suffered from it. Forget the money. This notion – that structural racism is something that belonged to our great-great grandparents – is fundamentally dangerous. It absolves us of our privilege. It enables us to imagine ourselves as superior – smarter, harder-working, more creative – to those on the lower rungs of the socioeconomic ladder. It deprives us of empathy. Case in point: Instead of expressing uniform horror at the sight of thousands of migrant children being stuffed into overcrowded for-profit detention facilities, forced to sleep on cold concrete floors and forgo toothbrushes and towels, we’re having a debate over the propriety of using the technically-accurate-but-somewhat-uncomfortable term “concentration camp.” White supremacy has never left. And until we fully reckon with it, it never will. feedback@orlandoweekly.com

Mitch McConnell never owned a slave, but he’s benefited from slavery and the institutions of white supremacy that followed. So have I. So has every white person in the U.S.

Support for an amendment to raise Florida’s minimum wage is rising, the rent burden in Orlando skyrockets, and other news you may have missed last week. »

New report says Orlando area minimum wage earners have to work 85 hours a week to afford even the cheapest apartments: Minimum wage earners in the Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford area have to work 85 hours a week to afford a basic apartment, according to the annual National Low Income Housing Coalition’s “Out of Reach” report. That’s the cheapest scenario. For minimum wage-earning Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford metro area residents to afford a onebedroom apartment, they’d have to work on average 91 hours per week to make rent each month; for a two-bedroom, 108 hours; for a three-bedroom, 143 hours; and for a four-bedroom, 171 hours a week for the fair market price of $1,879.

Another report of child sex abuse at Homestead, Florida’s migrant shelter: Florida officials received a report in May of alleged child sexual abuse at the Homestead migrant shelter, marking the seventh report of such abuse at the controversial federal facility. Homestead has received an influx of migrant children as a result of the Trump administration’s crackdown at the U.S.-Mexico border. Along with that has come scrutiny from advocacy groups and Democrats who decry the facility’s “prison-like” conditions and want it closed. Records filed with the Florida Department of Children and Families indicate the May report was sexual in nature, between two minors, but no details were provided due to confidentiality issues.

More and more Floridians support raising the minimum wage: A new poll from St. Pete Polls found that 63 percent of Florida voters say they would support a constitutional amendment that would raise the state’s minimum wage to $10 an hour in 2021, with a $1 increase each year until it hits $15 in 2026. Support seems to be on the rise, too. A previous survey conducted by St. Pete Polls earlier this month found that only 58 percent of respondents supported the measure.

Florida politician fond of wearing blackface tweets ‘MAGA’ at reporter who was allegedly assaulted at Orlando Trump rally: Orlando Sentinel reporter Michael Williams tweeted a video showing a Trump supporter attempting to slap his phone out of his hands and threatening to kick him in the testicles. “A Trump supporter tried knocking my phone out of my hand as I was recording him being kicked out of the Amway Center,” tweeted Williams. State Rep. Anthony Sabatini then commented “MAGA” under the tweet. The man was later arrested and charged with battery, reports the Sentinel.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signs bill giving green light to electric scooters: Ron DeSantis signed a bill last week that legalizes electric scooters, allowing companies such as Lime, Bird and Uber’s Jump Scooters to operate statewide, with local jurisdictions in charge of further regulation.

Orange County commemorates Julius ‘July’ Perry with historic marker: Last week, a historical marker remembering Julius “July” Perry and victims of the Ocoee Massacre was unveiled at the Orange County Regional History Center. Perry’s gruesome death at the hands of the KKK and local authorities set off a wave of racial violence that terrified black residents of Orange County for decades. The incident was triggered after Perry’s friend, Mose Norman, attempted to vote in 1920, was turned away and then retreated to Perry’s house, where a shootout took place. orlandoweekly.com

Orange County commemorates Julius ‘July’ Perry with historic marker BY DAVE P LOTKIN

“L

awyers have the power to change things,” says author and death-penalty lawyer Bryan Stevenson. Stevenson grew up in a poor rural community where the schools were still segregated, until “lawyers came into the community and made them open up the public schools for black children.” Stevenson spoke Friday, June 21, following the 10:30 a.m. unveiling of a historical marker remembering Julius “July” Perry and the victims of the Ocoee Massacre at the Orange County Regional History Center. Perry’s gruesome death at the hands of the KKK and local authorities set off a wave of racial violence that terrified black residents of Orange County for decades. Perry and two friends, Mose Norman and Valentine Hightower, were black entrepreneurs and farmers who moved to Ocoee in the 1880s, about 30 years after the town was begun as a malaria refuge by a slave owner. The

hard-working friends grew wealthy and prominent, and Norman attempted to cast a ballot in the racially charged 1920 election. After twice being turned away from the polls, Norman retreated to Perry’s house, where a shootout with police and klansman forced them to flee. Perry was shot and arrested, and brought to the jailhouse that later became the History Center. The next day, Perry was shot again and lynched. The Klan and newly deputized white law enforcement burned dozens of homes of black Ocoee residents, killing many and driving away the survivors. So devastating was the attack that no black residents lived in Ocoee until 60 years later, in 1981. For 18 years following the attacks, not a single black voter cast a ballot in Orange County. Stevenson, a 2012 TED Talk speaker, discussed the modern implications of the horrifying story at the down-

New report says Florida will face $76 billion in costs due to climate crisis by 2040 BY XA N DER P ETER S

F

lorida is expected to run up a massive bill as the state attempts to mitigate the future effects of climate change, according to a new report from the Center for Climate Integrity. The report notes that Florida will be by far “the most heavily impacted state,” with costs projected to reach nearly $76 billion statewide by 2040, mostly due to the construction of sea walls as sea level inevitably rises. That’s the best-case scenario, the report’s authors claim. On the national level, they say, the U.S. may be in the hole for a total of $400 billion. Still, a group of Florida counties will feel the heaviest impact. In particular, the Florida Keys’ Monroe County is predicted to face a stunning $11 billion in seawall construction costs. Meanwhile, counties such as Pinellas, Miami-Dade, Lee, Duval, Franklin and Collier could face costs as high as $3 million per county, the report says; counties including Nassau, Sarasota, Bay, Charlotte, Gulf, Pasco, St. Johns and Volusia, among others, are expected to take a hit of about $1 billion apiece. Also noted in an accompanying news release is the fact that for many small coastal communities, the only option will be to leave – that is, unless a gargantuan amount of funding comes in to save the day, but that prospect is unlikely. “Even retreat comes at a substantial cost, as courts have begun to rule that governments that fail to protect private property must compensate property owners for the value of the property that is abandoned,” the reports’ authors write. “As just one example of the scope and gravity of this problem, in 19 small, most unincorporated communities, the cost of seawalls to protect property and infrastructure from a moderate amount of sea level rise by 2040 is more than [$1 million] per person.” xpeters @orlandoweekly.com

town Orlando Public Library, just footsteps away from the marker location and former jail site. His childhood experience with desegregation inspired him to attend law school, which led him to the Deep South. Stevenson founded the Equal Justice Initiative in Montgomery, Alabama, where he and his team have won reversals, relief or release for more than 125 wrongly condemned prisoners on death row. The ceremony at the Orange County Regional History Center was attended by Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings and Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer, ahead of Stevenson’s speech. The unveiling was sponsored by EJI, the Peace and Justice Project, the Bridge the Gap Coalition, the City of Orlando, Orange County Government, the Orange County Public Library System and the Orange County Regional History Center. feedback@orlandoweekly.com

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signs bill giving green light to electric scooters BY XA N D E R P E TE R S

P

repare your (electric-powered scooter) engines. On Tuesday, Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill – HB 453 – that legalizes electric scooters in Florida. It went into effect immediately, allowing companies such as Lime, Bird and Uber’s Jump Scooters to operate statewide, with local jurisdictions in charge of further regulation. “Gov. DeSantis’ signing of HB 453 is a win for micro-mobility and equitable transportation access for all,” says Lime Florida government affairs manager Vivian Myrtetus in a statement provided to Orlando Weekly. “The legislation provides clarity to municipalities about the legality of e-scooters and we look forward to continuing to work with cities throughout the state of Florida to meet residents’ demand for a reliable and affordable transportation option.” The House version of the bill was sponsored by state Rep. Jackie Toledo, D-Tampa. State Sen. Jeff Brandes, R-St. Petersburg, was the Senate sponsor. The legislation’s passage comes on the heels of the city of Tampa launching its electric scooter pilot program in May, which has so far included four vendors: Spin, Jump, Bird and Lime. City of Orlando officials previously told us that they’re not currently interested in implementing electric scooters at the local level. In January, Billy Hattaway, the city’s transportation director, said the city “isn’t interested in scooters right now,” as officials work out any ongoing kinks involving the local bikesharing system. “We made the decision when we put the [dockless] ordinance together that we would not consider scooters from anyone, including Lime, for a year,” Hattaway said. “People keep asking. Of course Lime talked to us, and we said we would like to see how you operate your system, how you deal with customer complaints, how you deal with citizen complaints for a year before we consider your scooter system.” Electric scooters are a hotly debated issue in many cities that have been using them for more than a few months. In January, the San Diego Readerreported ”scooter riders flooding emergency rooms,” while Consumer Reports links electric scooters to eight deaths. Yesterday, the city council of Chattanooga, Tennessee, pushed an ordinance to pre-emptively ban them for six months, based on accidents reported in Memphis and Nashville. xpeters@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

Trump does Orlando

When MAGA country comes to the so-called happiest place on earth BY XANDER P ETERS

L

eave it to President Donald Trump to suck up all the air in the room, in the roughly 20,000-seat Amway Center and throughout the City Beautiful in the days leading up to his official 2020 re-election campaign kickoff in Orlando. As Monday evening turned into Tuesday morning, downtown was abuzz. Trumplandia descended upon the city. Some were dressed like redneck Uncle Sams; others opted to wear their MAGA hat, their MAGA shirt, their MAGA socks, their MAGA everything. There was enough red, white and blue clothing around Orlando to stitch a thousand battle flags. The soft-core war of our polarized body politic was on. A couple hundred people were already in line early Tuesday morning. “We’re just trying to bring everybody together, man – to be a mediator,” Judah Wade, one of the early Trump supporters, told Orlando Weekly. “A lot of people don’t see people like us that’s actually supporting Trump. So we’re out here bridging the gap.” Wade was among a group of supporters wearing “Blacks for Trump” and “Trump and Republicans are not racist” T-shirts, some of whom were singing Trump-inspired soul

songs with the band set up on a nearby corner. He says the group of several dozen all bused down together from Miami. “We’re out here to let it be known that it’s not racist [to support Trump], so we can get that out the way and bring more people like us over to the truth,” Wade said, flashing a grin, the gold plates in his custom grill gleaming in the afternoon sun. As Wade turned away, a top hat-wearing man and his purple-haired wife rode around in circles on humongous tricycles. On the back of the man’s trike was a sign with a picture of U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez laughing and a braying donkey, captioned, “Don’t be a ass.” Inside the Amway Center, too, the political pageantry was on full display. In speaking to the at-capacity, roughly 20,000-person crowd, Trump hit his typical talking points: He doubled down on the so-called “fake news” media, inspiring a series of “CNN sucks!” chants from the crowd. He claimed he’d “won” against Special Counsel Robert Mueller (whose report found multiple instances in which Trump obstructed justice CONTINUED ON PAGE 17

while president). And, of course, as a nostalgic blast from the past, the president took a few swipes at his former opponent, Hillary Clinton. In other words, it felt like déjà vu – a re-litigation of the 2016 election. “When I get behind my desk in the Oval Office, I think about only one thing: How the American people are going to win, win, win today,” Trump told the rally-goers. “I’m fighting for you, and I think you see that.” He’s “fighting for” Florida in more than one way: Without Florida, there’s arguably no path back to the Oval Office for Trump. Every successful presidential candidate since 1996 has won Florida’s 29 electoral votes. During the 2016 presidential campaign, Trump beat Clinton by a slim 113,000 votes – a little more than 1 percent of the Sunshine State’s electorate. But in Orange County, Clinton bested Trump by more than 24 points in the last presidential cycle. Adding to that current good standing for the Trump campaign, Florida was also home to several Democratic disappointments in 2018. The “blue wave” that swept across much of the country, forcing a Democratic takeover of the

U.S. House of Representatives and flipping key gubernatorial and state legislative seats nationwide, missed us. Republican former Gov. Rick Scott edged out Democrat Bill Nelson for a seat in the U.S. Senate, ending Nelson’s three-term run after an exasperating recount. And Republican former U.S. Rep. Ron DeSantis also bested former Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum, a Democrat, to replace term-limited Scott in the governor’s mansion. But despite those recent advantages, a GOP win may be difficult to replicate in 2020. A new Quinnipiac poll released prior to the rally on Tuesday found that Trump is currently trailing several potential Democratic opponents, including former Vice President Joe Biden, who led Trump 50 percent to 41 percent. The poll also found that U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders leads Trump 48 percent to 42 percent, while U.S. Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris lead the president by four percentage points. Similarly, internal data from the Trump campaign’s March polling, obtained by ABC News, showed Biden with a seven-point advantage in Florida in 2020. According to a report from the New York Times, when presented CONTINUED ON PAGE 19

with the results that showed Biden leading in several battleground states, Trump told staffers to publicly deny the existence of the data. In a tweet prior to the rally, Trump called the polls “fake.” “Polls are inaccurate. You can’t trust them,” said Tony Gruchalla, a Central Florida resident and one of the early-in-line Trump supporters. “I think 2016 was a big example of that, when Hillary was a 90 percent favorite to win and it was a landslide by Trump.” (Clinton won the 2016 popular vote by more than three million votes; her key Electoral College losses in states such as Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan – formerly considered a “blue wall” – were decided by just more than a combined 77,000 votes. So Gruchalla’s recall of the math – “90 percent” and “landslide” – may be a little flawed, but we agree with him on one thing: Counting on polls is a fool’s errand.) Gruchalla believes Trump will win by even more next year. “It’s an event. It’s a big event,” Citrus County resident Jeanna Gullett said of the rally. “This is what we wanted to do for our vacation.” Gullett was among the Trump

super-fans who camped out on the sidewalk near the Amway Center Monday night, despite the fact that she and her friend Anna Connelly had booked a hotel room in Orlando for three nights as part of their rally road trip. Gullett claimed the president has reignited a sense of political pride among citizens with conservative beliefs like hers. She feels like the U.S. is on the rise again. “I feel blessed to be here,” Gullett said of the rally, as she leaned back into her lawn chair. “This is historic and I wouldn’t miss it for the world.” The next night, Gullett was among the thousands in the crowd when Trump asked attendants to vote by cheer on his campaign’s new slogan. Their options: to rehash the widely adored “Make American Great Again” catchphrase, or to choose the new “Keep America Great.” The applause for the former was loud, but for the latter it was near deafening. And yes, folks, “Keep America Great” was the tagline for the 2016 horror movie The Purge: Election Year. In the irony-free zone we live in now, it’s just another twig on the fire. xpeters@orlandoweekly.com

Director Jeremy Seghers and collaborators animate an exquisite corpse at Timucua BY C L ARISSA MOON

J

eremy Seghers is known in Orlando for producing and directing shows in unique locations. In 2016, he staged a production of Equus in a barn and a production of Dracula in an oddities and taxidermy shop. This time, Seghers is taking audiences to the Timucua Arts Foundation for a new original play titled Three Stories. The play is comprised of three unrelated scenes that are tied together by a longer fourth scene. Seghers collaborated with three playwrights, each of whom was only given the last line of the scene to work from. Each piece involves three actors and takes place on one of three levels usually used for seating. (Timucua, for those who haven’t been there, is a three-story concert hall in a private home in Delaney Park.) “I thought it would be really cool if somebody switched [the space] around and had the audience sit on the stage and on the floor, and have action take place on the three levels,” Seghers says. “Because when do you get a three-level set?” Seghers says he came up with the idea for Three Stories with co-creator Kevin Becker, a producer with storytelling troupe Phantasmagoria, by combining

this staging idea with a theatrical version of the drawing game Exquisite Corpse. In the drawing game, three players fold a piece of paper into thirds. Each player draws a different part of the body without seeing what the others drew. The paper is then unfolded to reveal what is usually an amusingly mismatched composite. Similarly, Three Stories has three distinctly different parts. The first piece is an original folk/punk musical, the second a devised movement piece and the third a drama. “It just so happened that each one kind of found a parallel to the game of exquisite corpse,” Seghers says. “You start with the head and both [the musical’s creators] are very heady, intellectual people. The second one is all heart and because it’s devised, it’s based on gut instinct. The bottom one is really solid and grounded in drama, so it made sense for it to be on the bottom level.” Seghers says the cast is excited about the production because it’s unique and allows them to play against their type. “The cast is really enthusiastic,” Seghers says. “To them, it’s exciting because it’s not your typical run-of-themill play.” Without giving too much away, the

play explores contemporary issues of equality and the rights of those who are marginalized. “It’s very modern, and not in a contrived way,” Seghers says. “It just happens to be that all of the voices that are being expressed feel very modern.” Seghers says he hopes to introduce audiences to the Timucua Arts Foundation and make those already familiar with the venue think about both the space and contemporary issues in a new way. Three Stories will be performed from 7-9:30 p.m. on Thursday, June 27, at the Timucua Arts Foundation at 2000 S. Summerlin Ave. Tickets can be reserved online for a suggested donation of $10-$20 at timucua.com. Guests are encouraged to bring food or wine to share. arts@orlandoweekly.com

I particularly appreciated the way the objects in Iridescence are arrayed not according to age or artist, but by color palette, with a rainbow of groupings ranging from earthy browns and yellows to seafoam greens and blues. Each item is highlighted by specially positioned spotlights that make prosaic pots sparkle like jewels. That’s fitting for a museum whose founding director Hugh F.

[ food + drink ] POKE HANA

MAKING WAVES Cool Mills 50 spot rides the swell of poke’s popularity BY FAIYAZ KARA

Y

ou can thank good ol’-fashioned government bureaucracy for bestowing Poke Hana on Mills 50. The space was on the verge of becoming a lobster roll joint before the city’s lengthy permitting process gave the owners, who also run popular bunnery King Bao, pause to reconsider the concept. So, yeah, Hawaii edged out New England, just as it edged out Massachusetts, Connecticut and Vermont in being named the healthiest state in the country. Since 2008, in fact, Hawaii has taken top spot seven times in United Health Foundation’s rankings and, no doubt, diet has been an overlying factor. Florida’s best showing came last year when it placed 29th in the nation – and maybe, just maybe, Hawaii had a small hand in that, given how lolo we all are for poke. As the craze swells across the state, poke purists can only watch the dish get appropriated, embellished and marketed to the clean-eating, bowl-loving sector – sacrilegious toppings and all.

Oh, it’s not so bad – not here at Poke Hana, anyway, where there appears to be a deep respect for Hawaii’s contribution to the culinary industrial complex. A ruby mound of ahi – poke’s traditional fish of choice – lends photographic worth to the “Maui Wowie” ($13), a bricolage braced with pickled cucumber, seaweed salad, edamame and fried onions cloaking a mass of brown rice. The ahi is simply sauced in soy, sesame oil and honey to, you know, keep it real. It’s everything a classic poke experience should be, minus the beach view, though surf competitions airing on the big screen and large photos of surf life make an effort. The tables are narrow, and they resemble longboards, but I

dig the form-over-function planks almost as much as the octopus-laden “Tako Very Much” ($14) with fried noodles. The kimchee sauce (gasp!) was absolutely amped, so much so that one of the guys behind the counter insisted handing me a side of the liquid heat for the taco ($3.75) I ordered. Taco? Don’t be so shocked – it’s not like they’re serving activated-charcoal pizza with their poke. FWIW, their tacos employ a crackly rice shell and come stuffed with everything from pulled pork to spicy salmon to fried tofu. I tore into the “hei hei chicken,” taco sending sesame seeds and fried scallions scattering. The taco vanished in a few messy seconds, necessitating a quick wipe of splatter (likely avocado crema, spicy aioli or both) off my mouth and a long swig of Hawaiian Sun Strawberry Lilikoi ($2). That stuff is gooood. In true Hawaiian fashion, you’ll find Spam musubi ($3) and butter mochi ($3) near the cash register, but vegans can indulge in a nori-wrapped rice block as well. Just ask for the fried tofu ($3) version (it’s got a nice little crunch), and a little more of that kimchee sauce. Acai bowls ($9.50) get their fair share of real estate on the menu, but to deny yourself a serving of Dole whip ($3) would be akin to dick-dragging a barrel wave like a junkyard dog with noodle arms. That is, totally not tubular. Mahalo! fkara@orlandoweekly.com

Beatle fantasy is uneven yet enticing BY CA MERON MEIER

T

o borrow a phrase, Jack Malik is a real nowhere man, sitting in his nowhere land, which happens to be the seaside resort town of Clacton-on-Sea, England. Working as an underappreciated part-timer at a wholesale warehouse and struggling to write and perform music in his free time, Jack makes all his nowhere plans for nobody. Bemoaning his failed music career, Jack tells his childhood friend Ellie, “If it hasn’t happened by now, it’s not going to. It would take a miracle.” That miracle is coming. One evening while riding home on his bike, the globe experiences a freakish power outage. The electrical interruption goes unnoticed by Jack because he’s struck by an oncoming bus at the exact moment of the glitch. But despite a hospital visit and the loss of his front teeth, it’s not his physical health Jack is concerned about. Instead, it’s his mental and aesthetic well-being, as Jack soon discovers that, astonishingly, the recent power snafu has erased from existence the most cherished artistic entity of modern

times: the Beatles. And he’s seemingly the only one who remembers them (along with Coca-Cola and cigarettes, the random disappearance of which inexplicably cheapens and complicates the film’s premise). Directed by Danny Boyle (Trainspotting, Slumdog Millionaire), from a script by Richard Curtis (Four Weddings and a Funeral, Notting Hill), Yesterday begins as a great Twilight Zone episode before lurching into an only somewhat successful combination of comedy, drama, fantasy and romance. Once Jack gets over the shock of his unlikely predicament, he is consumed by the awesome task of presenting to the world for the first time the music of the Fab Four. Predictably, fortune finds him while he simultaneously struggles with the trappings of fame – as did the Beatles themselves – and his own romantic feelings toward Ellie. Yesterday is a competent realization of a brilliant concept, but it could have been more. It’s nice to see Boyle embrace whimsy over his usual grittiness, but the

production often seems bloated, not to mention tonally challenged thanks to its genre-hopping. Still, it’s intermittently enticing, even endearing, helped along by great music and solid performances by Himesh Patel (EastEnders) as Jack, Lily James (Downton Abbey, Darkest Hour) as Ellie and Ed Sheeran as himself. Providing broad comic relief are Joel Fry (Game of Thrones) as Jack’s friend and roadie, and Kate McKinnon (Saturday Night Live) as his money-grubbing manager. Fry is a mostly welcome addition, but McKinnon’s character is poorly conceived, badly written and abysmally acted. Shockingly, she does almost everything possible to sink an otherwise decent film, until a single, mind-bending scene near the end rescues the production from narrative drift and finally elevates it, if briefly, to a level of metaphysics and mysticism. Yesterday, like the song by Paul McCartney, is about missed opportunities. Still, the movie never entirely wears out its wonderful premise because Boyle understands an essential truth uttered by one of the film’s mysterious supporting characters: “A world without the Beatles is a world that is infinitely worse.”

Jake Gyllenhaal and Tom Holland in Spider-Man: Far From Home BY ST EVE SCHN EID ER

OPENING THIS WEEK: Annabelle Comes Home Warner Brothers must be pretty confident about the latest installment in their devil-doll series, because they’re opening it less than a week after the Child’s Play reboot arrived in theaters. (And they’re clearly not worried that anybody is going to go see Anna by mistake.) So it’ll be a surprise if Comes Home stalls not just the Annabelle franchise but the Conjuring universe from which it was spun off. According to the producers, this episode qualifies as a prequel in a rather novel way, taking place sometime after the opening scenes of the first Conjuring flick but before the climax of that same picture. So in other words, you were actually watching this movie while you were watching that one, and you just didn’t know it yet. Wow, I wonder if you liked it. (R; opens Wednesday, June 26) Echo in the Canyon Frank Zappa once said that the Southern California folk-rock sound was defined by a stupid fucking D chord you played at the top of a guitar neck while wiggling your finger around. That’s probably the best description I’ve ever heard of not just a suspended fourth but an entire musical movement. You’ll get a far more glowing portrait of the Laurel Canyon scene of the mid-’60s in this documentary, an encore from the 2019 Florida Film Festival that pays tribute to the Byrds, Buffalo Springfield and every other act that jangled its way into young America’s heart. Hey, you might even learn to play “Needles and Pins”! (Pro tip: Give your finger a good stretch before

wiggling it around.) (PG-13; tentatively scheduled to open Friday, June 28, at Enzian Theater, Maitland) Spider-Man: Far From Home If I had to pick one visual image to sum up the 1960s, it might well be one of Steve Ditko’s drawings of the truly psychedelic Spidey villain Mysterio. So I’m positively elated that the notorious Quentin Beck is arriving on screen with his Ditko-designed fishbowl helmet intact. In fact, according to Screen Rant, actor Jake Gyllenhaal requested that the character spend more time in costume than the filmmakers had originally planned, because he too loved the outfit so much. (Hey, remember when Gyllenhaal almost took over the role of Spidey himself back when Tobey Maguire was being a big pain in the ass? Sounds like he’s really bucking for the title of Protector of the Brand.) Anyway, the movie version of Mysterio might be a bad guy, or he might be a good guy. And the movie could be good, or it could blow. But honestly, there’s only one thing that really important to me right now, and I think I’ve made it clear what that is. Fishbowl! Fishbowl! (PG-13; opens Tuesday, July 2)

ALSO PLAYING: Pavarotti Previously unseen footage highlights this documentary profile of the legendary opera singer who was one and a half of the Three Tenors. Hey, did I just make a fat joke?

Orlando Weekly had the pleasure “We were invited to be part of an art show of seeing them several times around Central in Miami called ‘The Collabo Show,’” says Florida last year and we were left floored Balfe. “In about a week, we wrote five songs for the performance. I made dances for every time. And for such a young band, Donzii are each of the songs.”

The name “Donzii” came to them at the eleventh hour. “There’s an Italian speedboat company called Donzi and we added an extra ‘i’ to the end,” explains Fuller. “It’s sort of the punk thing of taking something that’s fancy and fucking it up. … We are referencing Italo-disco and that luxury boat company, but we’re making it our own. This is ours now.” Whether on stage or on record, Donzii’s music is heavily evocative of the heat, humidity, music blasting out of car windows, push-and-pull between development and natural beauty, and the slightly enigmatic vibes of Miami. Both Fuller and Balfe agree. “Miami is a tropical paradise in peril,” says Balfe. “This reality shades my creative output with heavy references to time, death, decay and opulence as diversion from truth.” Fuller adds: “In South Florida, bass rules. I grew up with that. … You want to hear 808s and stuff like that? This is where it came from. Now, we don’t do that style of music but … it’s got to be rhythmic, it’s got to make people dance.” Besides a commitment to the rhythmic kick at the heart of their music, one of the other signature elements of Donzii’s live work is their unself-conscious embrace of performance art to propel a show into surrealist realms. “Jenna is a performance artist and we feel a responsibility to carry that art form into our music,” says Fuller. Balfe goes further: “Being on stage is a time of giving, receiving and exorcising the tumult I build up through being alive. Through the performative aspects of our show, the costumes, or the skits I am trying to create visuals and scenarios that … are expressive for me and cathartic for the audience at the same time.” “We want it to stick in people’s minds,” says Fuller. “So people will be like, ‘Oh that was the band that came out in different colored sheets and were playing recorders or that was the band that came out all on the same dog chain or wearing a bunch of USB cables tied around their necks.’ … It’s a very important part. It’s not just a gimmick.” Though the Fuller-Balfe leads the band, they are fulsome in their praise of bandmates Monroe Getz (drums), Miles Hancock (keyboards) and especially guitarist Danny Henize, a South Floridian goth OG who did time with cult faves like Agony in the Garden and Life in Sodom. Donzii are working on new material at this very moment with an eye toward releasing another EP and a full-length next year. This Friday will inevitably be a hot and muggy night, and that’s the best time to see this band on the rise cast their spells. mmoyer@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

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

Ahhh, summer vacations are

always nice. But it’s good to be back, and there’s no better way to get back on the beat than to go get screamed at for a whole night, right? So let’s put the needle back on the record.

GILLIAN CARTER, FOR YOUR HEALTH, SHIN GUARD AND THROWIN UP, WILL’S PUB, JUNE 20

Without question, screamo isn’t for everyone. Most of the time, I’m not even sure it’s for me. But a recent Bad Balloon showcase featured an onslaught of acts who come from the respectable skramz side of the checkered screamo street, resolutely opposite all the abominable bands that the so-called scene kids listen to. Unlike those other screeching affronts to taste, the intensity of this night’s bill has a more direct lineage to the true roots of hardcore, which makes all the difference in the world. Hardcore punk is all about catharsis of some kind. And these are bands that leverage the full force of the form to explore a fuller spectrum of emotion. Featured at the center of the bill were a couple of bands – For Your Health and Shin Guard – who are on an eastern U.S. tour together promoting a split album, Death of Spring, released just last month. For Your Health are an emotional hardcore group from Columbus, Ohio. Yes, their well-constructed rock does dare to occasionally venture into melodic moments of crystal instrumental clarity. But their power is never in dispute, with a raging live delivery that knows how to live on the edge. As if to certify the affili-

Vocally, Shin Guard have a three-singer arsenal with a sonic wingspan from cardcarrying screams to blackened hydra shrieks to purging death-metal growls

ation between the two touring bands, members of Shin Guard joined in on parts of For Your Health’s set. As for Shin Guard, this Pittsburgh crew is anything but your basic hardcore band. What they are is an incredibly dynamic storm that pulls from all kinds of intensity and orchestrates it into an ambitious display of artistry. Vocally, they’ve got a three-singer arsenal that can flex a sonic wingspan that goes from card-carrying screams to blackened hydra shrieks to purging death-metal growls. Instrumentally, their palette is expansive, technical and progressive. And with the whole maelstrom guided by deeply expressive intent, the result is layered emotional rock that, though ferocious, is a thing of meticulous craft. Bookending the touring acts were a couple of Florida bands. Palm Bay’s Gillian Carter, as usual, represented especially hard. Flagbearers of heavy music that’s as progressive as it is extreme, the sonically acrobatic trio continue to earn their spot on the Florida heavy vanguard.

Few bands today can deliver emotion and power with such equal measure. At this point in their craft and expression, their widescreen vision of post-hardcore is on a master level of pushing the possibilities of heavy music. Opening were Orlando’s Throwin Up. Befitting their name, this raw hardcore crew comes on in a violent fit. With evershifting tempo and bearing, they never stay long enough in one space to let you get comfortable. They go from menacing groove to hovering dread to full avalanche, often in the stretch of a single punk blast. And it equals a restless fury.

KALEIGH BAKER, LIL INDIES, JUNE 20

Sometimes familiarity can have an unfortunate lulling effect. Kaleigh Baker’s residencies are well-known on the scene. But on a recent pop-over in between heavy bands next door at Will’s Pub, it occurred to me that their regularity is no excuse to take them for granted. Besides Eugene Snowden’s Ten Pints of Truth, her weekly stands at Lil Indies are where you can feel the heat of a legendary Orlando supernova up close and personal. Baker is a cyclone of rock and soul, infusing tradition with youth and vigor. As a singer, she’s as much an arabesque songbird as a gut-kicking powerhouse. Even if you’re not the classic sort, she’s the kind of vocalist whose natural gust and grip will freeze you dead in your tracks in seconds flat. Regular features like this are one of the things that make Mills Avenue exceptional. Go soak it in. baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

TLC

MUSIC

Making up for a date originally scheduled for this past January, R&B powerhouse TLC returns to town for a show at Hard Rock Live this week. If you didn’t live through the ’90s, it’s impossible to convey just how culturedefining the group’s hits were back in the day. Even now, lines from their hit singles like “No Scrubs” and “Waterfalls” get used in the popular lexicon on a level that rivals the ubiquity of The Wizard of Oz quotes. (Seriously, once you start noticing how often people quote the 1939 MGM classic without even realizing it, it gets bizarre.) These days, TLC comprises just Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins and Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas after the tragic 2002 death of Lisa “Left Eye” Lopez, but the duo has proven that they still have the same pop acumen as in the glory days on hook-laden tracks like 2017’s “Haters.” The only reason not to check it out is if your name is Jason Waterfalls. – Thaddeus McCollum 8 p.m. | Hard Rock Live, 6050 Universal Blvd. | 407-351-7625 | hardrock.com | $35-$75

Rally With Gabby Giffords for Gun Violence Research CIVICS

PHOTO BY GAGE SKIDMORE

Gabby Giffords, the former Arizona Congresswoman who survived a gunshot to the head in a 2011 attempt on her life in Tucson, comes to Orlando for a rally to increase funding for gun violence research. Giffords is joined by medical professionals and gun safety advocates such as Doctors for America, the League of Women Voters and the Florida Chapter of the American College of Physicians, among other groups. Attendees can hear experts speak on the issue of increased gun violence in America, meet with advocates and become more aware of what they can do to combat the problem. – Christian Casale 11 a.m. | Orlando Museum of Art, 2416 N.

Country Throwdown MUSIC

Grab your cowboy hats and head on down to House of Blues for a night of great country music and even better boot-kicking fun. The Country Throwdown features artists such as the Greg Warren Band, known for their hit singles “Reason to Drink” and “City Girl,” and Diamond Dixie, a Central Florida sister act who’ve been playing around town since before they were legally allowed to be in most venues. Their latest single, “Without Your Love,” shows a new level of polish and maturity that’s a breath of fresh air in the estrogen-deprived mainstream country landscape. The event includes giveaways, linedancing lessons, cold beer and more. Be sure to polish your boots and arrive early for a good spot. – Annabelle Sikes

Radiohead Tribute Show MUSIC

9 p.m. | Will’s Pub, 1042 N. Mills Ave. | willspub.org | $7-$10

PHOTO BY SIGHTS SO SUDDEN

Thom Yorke isn’t coming to town – much to our dismay – but bands Lavola and Boston Marriage are bringing the next best thing to Will’s Pub this weekend: a Radiohead “tribute show.” Lavola, a self-described “symphonic indie rock quartet” fronted by songwriter Julian Cires that has opened for the likes of Silversun Pickups and Soul Asylum, are familiar faces in the Sunshine State’s music scene. We can only assume they’re familiar with Radiohead’s deep discography, and that they’ll play some of the band’s B-side tracks versus, you know, “Creep.” So treat it like you’re at Bonnaroo or Austin City Limits, because there’s no telling when, if ever, the real thing will come to town. – Xander Peters

Cat Tattoo Day EVENTS

Show your devotion to cats by getting a tattoo of one! The Golden Tarot Ink Club is donating the proceeds of $40-$80 cat tattoos to Orange County Animal Services to support real cats who need homes. Guests can also adopt a cat from OCAS at the event – and then get a permanent reminder of the adoption imprinted in their skin. You could win a free cat tattoo or other catthemed prizes by entering a raffle, or discover your future with a free tarot card reading. A professional photographer can provide you with a portrait of your new furry acquisition, er, friend. All proceeds from the event will be donated to OCAS. – Clarissa Moon noon-5 p.m. | Golden Tarot Ink Club, 3744 Howell Branch Road, Winter Park | 407-725-7072 | goldentarotinkclub.com | free

Mock Identity MUSIC

The phrase “punk band from Washington, D.C.” probably brings to mind a pretty fixed set of sounds/images – Minor Threat, SOA – but young post-punk quartet Mock Identity are instead in line with more shadowy D.C. cult outsiders like Strange Boutique, adding new sounds and perspectives to their city’s rich musical lineage. The group stands out not just for their angular, brooding sound but for Spanish-language tracks like “Nación de Opresión,” and a firm stance of solidarity with marginalized groups against those who wield their power recklessly. For such a new band, they’re created a seriously exciting noise. – MM with Permanent Makeup, Vivian K | 9 p.m. | Uncle Lou’s Entertainment Hall, 1016 N. Mills Ave. | 407-898-0009 | $6

Basshead BBQ Fundraiser Treehouse Grand Reopening Downtown’s Treehouse craft cocktail bar has been in business for about four years now, but the cozy space is getting an upgrade. This week, the bar re-debuts after a remodel that expands it into “the space next door,” which we have to assume means dance club the Attic. Whether or not that signifies the death of the Attic is unconfirmed, but we just hope the astroturf gets spread to the entirety of the new space. 8 p.m. Wednesday; The Treehouse, 68 E. Pine St.; free; thetreehouseorlando.com.

Wrestle War II/Mayhem on Mills V S P O R TS

Let’s not get ready to rumble (because that phrase, as wrestling fans know, is extremely trademarked), but instead yell at the referee to ring the damn bell, because this weekend boasts two very good, but very different, independent wrestling events in the City Beautiful. On Saturday night, USA Pro Wrestling presents another one of their packed cards, full of stars from the glory days of the wrestling boom and cutting-edge regional talent very rooted in the now. Their main event is Scott Steiner versus Jack Swagger, and we’ve got no problem with that. Then, pretend you’re in the Midnight Express in the ’80s and get up bright and early for another card the very next day, this one being Mayhem on Mills’ fifth show. Momentum is on their side, as they move to a bigger, indoor space with the Orange Studio and feature a main event with their newly crowned (and belted) champion Troy Hollywood defending against enigmatic luchador Serpentico. The other feature is a five-way match for a title shot at the next event, including Beastly and Snoop Strikes. And hardcore wrestler Chuckles the Clown is gonna be at both of them! It’s a win-win scenario. – Matthew Moyer USA Pro Wrestling: 7 p.m. Saturday; Orlando National Guard Armory, 2809 S. Ferncreek Ave.; twitter.com/usaprowrestling; $20-$35.

B Y DA N S AVAG E

I’m a recently divorced single mom and full-time student. I’m really beginning to hurt financially and have decided to start working as an escort. I am at a point of great emotional stability, happiness and confidence – all reasons that led to my decision – and I’m surrounded by people who love me and won’t judge me. (Not that I will be telling most of them.) I’ve been seeing a man who I like, but I’ve made it clear that I am not committed to him and can see him only once a week. I’ve explained that I don’t think I can ever be monogamous and I do not want a relationship. He has struggled with this and told me early on he was in love with me. We have AMAZING sex, and I think this causes him to have a hard time understanding why I don’t want a relationship. I do not want to tell him I am escorting. I feel the fewer people who know, the better. And I don’t know him that well, as I have been “seeing” him for only six months. I know he would want to know, and a huge part of me feels that the right thing to do is be honest with him if I am going to continue seeing him. I also know that cutting him loose would hurt and confuse him, especially without being able to give him a reason. How do I handle this? What is the right thing to do? My site goes live in three days, and what’s keeping me up at night is not how best to verify clients, it’s what to do about the man in my life who I respect and love, even if I am not in love with him. New To Escorting Let’s set the escorting issue aside for a moment. You don’t want the same things (he wants monogamy and a defined relationship, you don’t want any of that shit), you don’t feel for him the way he feels for you (he’s in love, you’re not) and you’re a busy single mom and full-time student – all perfectly valid reasons to end a relationship, NTE. You aren’t obligated to tell him that something you were thinking about doing but haven’t yet done, i.e., escorting, factored into your decision to cut him loose. While I definitely think people have a right to know if their partners are escorts, I don’t think people have an absolute right to know if their partners were escorts. So if the sex is really good, and you think there’s a chance you could one day feel as strongly for him as he does for you, and you’re planning to escort only until you get your degree, NTE, you could tell him you want to take a break. Explain to him that you don’t have the bandwidth for a boyfriend just now – kid, school, work – but you’re open to dating him after you’re out of school if he’s still single and still interested. 54

I’m a 30-year-old single monogamist and I recently realized I’m bisexual. I feel much happier. Except I recently crossed a line with a very close friend of mine, a man I’ll admit to having some romantic feelings for. After he broke up with his ex, I started getting random late-night text messages from him. And a couple of weeks ago, we hooked up sans penetration. We acknowledged that we both have feelings but neither of us is in a good place. He’s still dealing with the end of his LTR, and I am only just coming out as bisexual. I love this person and our friendship is important to me, but I can’t stop thinking of the possibility of us being together. I’m confused by the timing and I wonder if this is real or just something I’ve allowed to distract me – or both! Also, what would this mean for my bisexuality? I’ve been to this rodeo before – meaning opposite-sex relationships – but what about the part of me I haven’t fully explored? Between Every Thorn Solitude Yearns You describe yourself as a monogamist – so, yeah, entering into a committed relationship with this man would prevent you from exploring your bisexuality. And the timing feels off: He may be on the rebound, and you’re still coming to terms with your bisexuality. So don’t enter into a committed relationship with him, BETSY, at least not yet. Date him casually and keep hooking up with him, with the understanding – with the explicit and fully verbalized and mutually consented to understanding – that you will be “exploring” your bisexuality, i.e. you’ll be getting out there and eating some pussy. I’m a 37-year-old woman married for eight years to a wonderful man. We’re happy and GGG to the point where his kinks have become my kinks and vice versa. However, he loves anal sex and I cannot do it. No matter how much lube we use or how slowly we go, it’s not just uncomfortable, it’s red-hotpoker-in-my-ass painful. Can you give me any concrete, practical advice to get to a point where I can enjoy anal? (P.S. Do some women actually enjoy anal? After my experiences, I find that really hard to believe.) Beyond Uncomfortable Tushy Trauma If you’re still interested in exploring anal after all those red-hot-poker-in-your-ass painful experiences – and you are by no means obligated to explore any further – focus on anal stimulation, BUTT, not anal penetration. Try rimming, try a vibrator pressed against your anus (not shoved into it), try running his lubed-up dick up and down your crack (across your anus, not into your anus), and try all of these things during

“STRESSFEST”

masturbation, vaginal penetration and oral sex. Having a few dozen orgasms – or a few hundred – while your anus’ sensitive nerve endings are pleasurably engaged could create a positive association between anal stimulation and sexual pleasure. It’s going to take some time to create a positive association powerful enough to supplant the negative association you have now – an association with echoes of regicide (google “Edward II and red hot poker”) – so your husband shouldn’t expect to get his dick back into your butt anytime soon, if he ever does at all. Some people, for reasons physiological or psychological or both, just can’t experience pleasure during anal intercourse. If you’re one of those people, BUTT, your husband will just have to grieve and move on. P.S. I find it hard to believe that a woman could possibly enjoy, say, a Donald Trump rally. But some women do, BUTT, and we have video to prove it. The same could be said about anal. I am a 30-year-old hetero woman. Any ideas on how a person can build up to healthy intimate relationships again while recovering from trauma? I’m afraid in normal sexual situations. How can I get to a point where I can have sex for fun and not in a way where I’m triggering my fight-or-flight response? Yes, I am seeing a therapist. Traumatic Experience Nullifying Sexual Energy Here’s an idea, TENSE, but please run it by your therapist before giving it a try: Find a guy you like and propose a different kind of friends-with-benefits arrangement. You will be in charge – you will do all the initiating – and while he can say no to anything you ask, he isn’t to ask for or initiate anything himself. You set the menu, you make the rules, you give the orders. He’ll need to be someone you trust, and it’ll help if he’s someone who thinks following orders is sexy – and trust me, TENSE, those guys are out there. You said that normal sexual situations aren’t working for you. Maybe an abnormal one would? Catch the Savage Lovecast every week: savagelovecast.com. mail@savagelove.net ITMFA.org
