Readers react to stories from last week’s issue. On March 15, we reported that the Florida House had begun moving forward with a dramatic expansion of school vouchers, including allowing middle-class families to apply for state-funded scholarships to send children to private schools. The GOPcontrolled House and Senate and Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis all want to expand vouchertype programs and point to a waiting list of about 14,000 students in the Florida Tax Credit Scholarship program, which serves lowincome children. @Deb Greenleaf Why don’t they just invest that money into the public schools to improve them and then all the students can benefit? Pay teachers more, have better books, continue the arts – that is where the tax money should go, not into the pockets of private school owners. @James Hall Will the private schools be accountable to taxpayers? Will they take tests and receive school grades like our public schools? Will the state Department of Education oversee their quality?

@Jennifer Sabattini Iacona This doesn’t make sense, our schools need the funding. On March 15, we reported that U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio zigged when U.S. Sen. Rick Scott zagged during last week’s vote to terminate Trump’s border wall emergency declaration, making for a split vote between Florida’s senators. Rubio joined a cast of Democrats and 11 other Senate Republicans in the 59-41 vote against Trump declaring a “national emergency” to bypass Congress in order to get about $8 billion in funding for a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border. Meanwhile, Scott held his ground and voted with the minority in favor. @Alan Borne I never thought anything would make Rubio look good. Then came Scott. @Ashlee Nicole I don’t always side with Rubio but when I do, it’s over Trump’s B.S. emergency! @Douglas Cole I used to think Florida couldn’t have a worse senator than Rubio. Well …

Orlando leads the nation in vacant houses, Greenwood Cemetery will build a permanent Pulse memorial, and other news you may have missed last week. »

Orlando is among the Florida cities leading the nation in vacant homes: Three cities in the Sunshine State currently lead the country in percentage of vacant homes. According to a new study from online lending company Lending Tree, 17 percent of homes in the Miami area are vacant, compared to 16 percent in Orlando and 15 percent in the Tampa Bay area. Jacksonville was also in the top 10, with a vacancy rate of 13 percent. The high vacancy rates in Florida are well above the national average of 9.4 percent, due to the state’s popularity for secondary residences and vacation homes.

Repeal of Florida’s ban on smokable medical marijuana heads to the governor’s desk: In their first full action of the 2019 legislative session, Florida lawmakers ceded to a demand by Gov. Ron DeSantis and approved a proposal doing away with the state’s ban on smokable medical marijuana. DeSantis previously threatened to drop the state’s appeal of a court decision that found the smoking ban ran afoul of a 2016 constitutional amendment that broadly legalized medical marijuana. The House passed the proposal in a 101-11 vote last week, sending the bill to the governor two days before a March 15 deadline he had set. The Senate passed the bill last week.

Florida House hammers UCF leaders, state university board in new report: The report from a state House committee focused on the university’s illegal misdirection of $85 million in leftover operating funds from the state, part of which was used to replace Trevor Colbourn Hall with a new $38 million building: “UCF’s budgeting and spending practices fostered ad hoc and unaccountable decisions. … Compliance activities of the university were inadequate to identify the misspending.” UCF’s Board of Trustees “lacked training and information,” but the Board of Governors contributed to UCF’s misspending by having “limited oversight,” according to the report.

Orlando’s Greenwood Cemetery is getting a memorial to Pulse victims: Plans are in motion to provide victims of the Pulse nightclub shooting buried in Greenwood Cemetery with a permanent marker after the City Council approved the six burial spaces last week. The memorial will be made up of seven rows of seven markers on a concrete slab that features the 49 granite markers donated in 2017 – each marker will be engraved with the name of a victim. Four of the 49 victims are buried in the cemetery.

Florida exceeds ‘Million Pollinator Garden Challenge’ goal: Thousands of gardens across the state of Florida are playing a part in saving the nation’s food system. The Million Pollinator Garden Challenge was launched in 2015 as part of a nationwide call to revive collapsing bee colonies and improve the health of birds, bats, butterflies and other pollinators. The challenge was to register a million new gardens through the National Pollinator Garden Network – and through the efforts of schools, garden clubs, and mayors promoting community gardens, the goal was exceeded by 40,000 gardens. Florida registered more than 55,000 gardens.

SHELTER IN PLACE Demolition of Griffin Park neighborhood in West Orlando is still on hold BY XANDER P ETERS

t may be years until the more than 300 Griffin Park residents in West Orlando receive housing relief, even as they struggle with ongoing conditions such as mold, rats and air-quality issues. In June, the Orlando Housing Authority announced plans to demolish Griffin Park, a Parramore neighborhood southwest of downtown, currently in the middle of the I-4 Ultimate construction project. But during a meeting last week with residents, Orlando Housing Authority president and CEO Vivian Bryant said the project is still on hold, and the process could take anywhere between three to 10 years. However, in a video presented during the meeting, she also said that residents will not be forced to move, and that the OHA will not demolish their buildings until suitable housing is provided. “The first step is for us to approve this information in the plan that we will give to [the Department of Housing and Urban Development] with a request for demolition,” Bryant said. “We don’t know how many of the sites HUD will approve. They may not approve any.” Bryant said that the OHA will develop a strategy for how to move forward after they know what HUD’s plans are for the site. “What HUD is saying to us is that they don’t have the money to continue to fund the public housing program, to take care of the physical needs,” Bryant said. “What happens if we don’t receive the funds from them? Well, we’ll have to find funds from some other place or we won’t have the housing that we would like to have, in the shape that we would like to have.” During the meeting, Orlando City Commissioner Regina Hill, District 5, assured residents that the city is working to meet their needs. “Of course we do want quality housing for all, and we do know that all our apartment homes are outdated … and we do know that they need a major overhaul,” Hill said. Hill says what she doesn’t want is for Griffin Park to be demolished and destroyed, but instead renovated. She called it a historic site and proposed that offices representing the area, from congressional members to the state Legislature and city government, form a delegation as a response. “Not in Orlando will you be taking our affordable housing,” Hill said. ”So I can tell you, Mayor Dyer, that my stance is not to dislocate not one person in Parramore.” xpeters@orlandoweekly.com

MIND THE GAP

Orlando is the worst place in the country right now for affordable housing BY M O N I V E TTE CO R D E I R O

rlando’s affordable housing crisis just imploded. Orlando Weekly predicted that the crisis would get worse last year when a 2018 report ranked the Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford area second in the country for having the most severe affordable housing shortage, offering only 17 available and affordable units for every 100 extremely low-income renters. It is now worse. The Orlando metro area currently has only 13 affordable and available rental homes for every 100 extremely low-income renter households, according to a newly released report from the National Low Income Housing Coalition. The Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford area now ranks first among the largest 50 metropolitan areas for the most severe affordable housing shortage in the country, beating out other cities like Las Vegas, Los Angeles and Houston. The NLIHC report, titled “The Gap,” also found that Florida as a whole only offered 26 available and affordable units per 100 renters, and it ranked first among states where low-income renter households are severely costburdened. A “severe cost burden” is when households spend more than 50 percent of their income on rent or mortgage rather than food, transportation, health care and other necessities. Essentially, it means that the very little affordable housing that’s available in Florida is almost out of reach for people on fixed incomes or those working full-time earning Florida’s depressing minimum wage of $8.46. “The private market provides too few homes affordable to the lowest-income renters,” the report says. “What extremely low-income renters can afford to pay for rent does not cover the development and operating costs of new housing, and it often is not sufficient to provide an incentive for landlords to maintain older housing.” Extremely low-income renters are households with

ORLANDO WEEKLY ● MARCH 20-26, 2019 ● orlandoweekly.com

incomes at or below the federal poverty guideline. A fourperson household would have to earn at or below $25,750, according to the 2019 guidelines. And as the report points out, the majority of these extremely low-income renters (48 percent) are seniors or disabled. About 44 percent are in the labor force, working as single-adult caregivers or going to school. “The Trump Administration proposes higher rents, ineffective work requirements and other rent reforms to encourage work among low-income recipients of housing assistance,” the report notes. “The vast majority of extremely low-income renters, however, already work in low-wage jobs or they are unable to work.” Black, Native American and Hispanic renters are also more likely than white renters to have extremely low-incomes, largely due to “historical and current discrimination,” according to the report. “This racial disparity is the result of higher homeownership rates and higher incomes among white households,” the report says. “Decades of racial discrimination in real estate, lending practices, and federal housing policy have made homeownership difficult to obtain for minorities.” Orlando has been taking small steps in the right direction by bringing some affordable housing to the city, like the Village on Mercy project by Ability Housing, which is supposed to bring 166 affordable units to Mercy Drive. But it’s not enough to deal with the severity of the crisis, and it hasn’t helped that for the past 16 years, Florida lawmakers have taken cash from the Sadowski Affordable Housing Trust Funds – $2 billion to date – to plug holes in the budget. Gov. Ron DeSantis has proposed not sweeping the Sadowski funds this year in his budget, but whether state lawmakers will agree remains to be seen. mcordeiro@orlandoweekly.com

BLINDED BY THE WHITE Trump will never call white nationalism a threat – he needs it, so he feeds it BY J EFFREY C. BI L L M A N

About 24 hours after a white suprema-

cist massacred 50 people during Friday prayers at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, that country’s prime minister announced a ban on semi-automatic rifles – an example of how quickly common sense can prevail when a major political party isn’t a wholly owned subsidiary of a sociopathic gun lobby. Compare that with the U.S., where we couldn’t enact universal background checks after gunmen killed 20 children in Newtown, 49 people at an Orlando nightclub and 58 concertgoers in Las Vegas. How pathetic. Pathetic, too, was Donald Trump’s predictably narcissistic response to the massacre. At 7:41 a.m., Trump – or, more likely, a lackey – tweeted his “warmest sympathies and best wishes to the people of New Zealand.” Twentytwo minutes later, this perfectly normal presidential statement gave way to a barrage of the president tweeting at the TV about “Jexodus,” Robert Mueller, the FBI and how “THIS SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN TO A PRESIDENT AGAIN!” But more troubling, to my mind, was Trump’s reply to a reporter’s question Friday afternoon about whether he sees “white nationalism as a rising threat.” “I don’t really,” Trump said. “I think it’s a small group of people that have very, very serious problems. I guess if you look at what happened in New Zealand perhaps that’s the case. I don’t know enough about it yet. They’re just learning about the person and the people involved. But it’s certainly a terrible thing, a terrible thing.” To break this down into its component parts: 1) White nationalism isn’t a big deal. 2) I need more information. 3) Mass murder is bad.

Let’s start with No. 1: Trump is empirically wrong. Right-wing extremists – white supremacists, white nationalists, neo-Nazis, fascists, etc. – pose a far greater danger to Americans than Islamic terrorists. Between 2009 and 2018, 73 percent of killings associated with domestic extremists came from the far right, according to the Anti-Defamation League. Among them: a neo-Nazi who allegedly murdered 11 in a Pittsburgh synagogue last year, a white supremacist who shot to death nine worshippers in a black church in South Carolina in 2015 and a white supremacist who gunned down six people in a Sikh temple in Wisconsin in 2012. The threat is becoming more acute in the Trump era: The number of reported hate-crime incidents has risen each year since 2015, when Trump announced his presidential campaign, including a 17 percent spike from 2016 to 2017. Black people are the most common targets; Jews and Muslims comprise 58 percent and 19 percent, respectively, of those attacked because of their religion. In 2017, there were 36 incidents of right-wing domestic violence in the U.S. – a roughly seven-fold increase over 2016 – compared with seven incidents of Islamic terrorism. In 2018, jihadists killed one American; right-wing terrorists, 15. As for No. 2, it’s not a bad idea for Trump to get more information before running his mouth, though it’s not usually his style – especially when a Muslim is the presumed villain instead of the victim. Consider his response to the partial detonation of a homemade bomb on a London subway in 2017, which injured 22 but killed none. Before authorities had identified a suspect, Trump was rage-tweeting about “these sick and demented people who were in the sights of Scotland Yard” and using

the tragedy to push his agenda. His travel ban, he wrote, “should be far larger, tougher and more specific – but stupidly, that would not be politically correct!” At least he got No. 3 right. Even here, though, Trump is unwilling to acknowledge his role in enabling, even inciting, right-wing violence. Those perpetuating the violence have no such compunction: The alleged New Zealand killer praised Trump as “a symbol of renewed white identity and common purpose.” Last year’s mail-bomber was a MAGA fanboy who plastered his van with pro-Trump stickers. In October, the attorney of a Kansas militiaman who plotted to bomb Somali refugees sought leniency because his client was inspired by Trump: “The court cannot ignore the circumstances of one of the most rhetorically mold-breaking, violent, awful, hateful, and contentious presidential elections in modern history, driven in large measure by the rhetorical china shop bull who is now our president.” Long before Trump, the Republican Party – which, while courting the Deep South, has at least flirted with white supremacists since Nixon – blithely dismissed the threats posed by right-wing extremists as unimportant or overhyped. In 2009, for example, conservatives castigated the Obama administration for pointing out a rise in right-wing extremism, and for noting that these outfits recruited veterans. After the backlash, the administration retracted the report and disbanded the unit that produced it, even though its premise proved correct. Trump, however, has given white nationalists aid and comfort like no other modern president – and not just by bringing the likes of Steve Bannon, Stephen Miller and Jeff Sessions into his inner circle. In office, he also eliminated funding from an organization that fights white supremacist ideology and ended a program to combat radicalization. He said the white supremacists who marched in Charlottesville in 2017 included “very fine people.” He has shined a spotlight on racist conspiracy theorists, denounced “globalists,” painted dystopian pictures of inner-city crime and black-on-white violence, came pretty close to saying the 14 Words and, of course, viciously slandered immigrants and refugees. And now – after Christchurch, after Charlottesville, after Pittsburgh – Trump refuses to call white nationalism a threat. It’s worth mentioning the context in which Trump answered that reporter’s question Friday. He was in the Oval Office, vetoing Congress’ resolution condemning his make-believe emergency declaration, which Trump invoked to build a border wall. The wall will get tied up in courts, but building it was never really the point. Like everything else, the point is to stoke white fear, outrage and resentment – of “caravans” of Central American “invaders,” of Mexican “rapists,” of The Other – that Trump can use to his political advantage. And that’s why Trump won’t call white nationalism a threat. He needs it, so he feeds it.

OPEN-AIR BRUNCH 310 LAKESIDE It’s no wonder that the patio of 310 Lakeside on Central Avenue, across from Lake Eola, is one of the city’s most sought-after wedding venues. It’s gorgeous and airy, with lots of natural light for excellent Instagramming, with tables under swaying live oaks, perfectly situated for farmers marketing or a stroll around the lake right after sipping the last swig of your Bellini. The pear-and-brie omelet is extremely popular, as is the crispy-crunchy French toast and the tenderloin Benedict, topped with rare slices of filet mignon.

WILD CARD BRUNCH DISH BULLA GASTROBAR

TIENDA MEXICANA JALISCO

Nothing against pancakes, French toast or eggs Benedict, but frequent brunchers need to mix it up occasionally. That’s where Bulla comes in with their namesake egg dish. Huevos Bulla sounds weird on paper – eggs mixed with potato chips, draped with paper-thin slices of Serrano ham and dolloped with potato foam and truffle oil – and looks weird on the plate. Sort of a Spanish take on chilaquiles, perhaps? But it’s hearty and delicate at the same time, and you just have to try it to appreciate it.

Google calls it “Restaurant Jalisco,” but Yelp calls it “Tienda Mexicana Jalisco” – either way, it’s where you want to go for the kind of Mexican desayuno found regularly from SoCal street vendors. There’s scrambled eggs with crumbly, spicy chorizo folded in, chilaquiles divorciados covered with both red and green salsa and topped with fried eggs, and huevos rancheros, of course. Occasionally they’ll have pastries, too, like the pale pink conchita, pillowy inside with a crust of sugar fluted like a seashell on top.

BRUNCH BEVERAGES

If you’re looking for a cocktail, 1921 Mount Dora has a crackerjack selection, including a house-made Paloma and a hibiscus teainfused G&T. If you still want that festive communal vibe 18

(because brunch is all about the crowd), the Ravenous Pig serves a special Brunch Punch but order early; when it’s gone for the day, that’s it. And what about coffee? It can be an afterthought at brunch, but those who appreciate good coffee usually choke on the average restaurant’s Bunn machine-stewed cup. Exception to the rule is the Glass Knife, where coffee is taken VERY seriously, to the point of having an exclusive Colombian lactic-processed roast and sometimes even a Geisha bean. (If that sentence meant anything to you, you should be brunching here.)

It might be the closest thing you’ll find in Orlando to the classic Greek diners in New York and Chicago – family-owned, vinyl booths, massive plastic menus and all. College Park’s Christo’s has been soothing hangovers since 1970, though a spiffy renovation a few years back swept away the old-timey scuffs and chips; you’re going to want to at least try to sit up straight.

TOD KIMBRO AS PRESIDENT ROYAL MARCUS DICKORY | PHOTO COURTESY OF THE PRODUCERS

America is undergoing ecologi-

cal and societal collapse, and the elite are retreating into media-saturated bubbles, while the chemically pacified populace is spoon-fed falsehoods from a fear-mongering leader via their omnipresent digital devices. When Tod Kimbro premiered the first incarnation of his sci-fi musical Wasteland way back in 2008, its premise was considered far-fetched, if not downright fanciful. “It was considered a work of pure absurdism about eight years ago, to have a celebrity president and everyone addicted to technology,” Kimbro told the audience at the Venue after last Thursday’s preview of his life’s work’s latest edition. “Now it’s just a reflection of the modern age.” That’s terrible news for our nation, but hopefully it’s happy timing for a project that Kimbro – a fixture of Orlando’s arts scene since the late 1990s – has been developing for nearly 20 years. It started life as a concept album created by Kimbro, based on an idea by Jason Bowles, that was released in 2006 as Soundtrack to a Chemical Spill. In 2008, producer Beth Marshall and director John DiDonna mounted a full-scale staging of the show – by then known as My Illustrious Wasteland – at Orlando Shakes. With a cast of 15 actors and a budget of $30,000, I called that early version “the most ambitious show to hit Orlando in years” and wrote that “it’s too early for a final verdict, but I can clearly see the potential for greatness.” The following year My Illustrious Wasteland was accepted into the prestigious New York Musical Theatre Festival, and then was revised and remounted locally in 2011. Kimbro never stopped tinkering with it, starting and abandoning several rewrites over the last decade. “I loved it; it was a great production,” says Kimbro of the initial

“Wasteland was considered pure absurdism eight years ago, to have a celebrity president and everyone addicted to technology.” version. “I just wanted to slim some things down, cut a lot of the fat out of the story and focus on the characters.” Now retitled simply Wasteland, the show’s central storyline remains essentially intact, following cyberpunk slacker Mogs (Daniel Martinez) and his android pop-star paramour Sunny Day (Chase Shellee) as they attempt to overthrow the fashionably fascist President Royal Marcus Dickory (Kimbro). But this latest take on the tale – which Kimbro jokingly refers to as “Wasteland 6.0 or whatever” – strips away much of the technobabble exposition while intensifying the emotional stakes. “It’s difficult when you’re doing a concept-driven piece to make it character-driven too,” explains Kimbro, “so that was the aim of this go-around.” Another objective of Kimbro’s most recent rewrite was “to excise out of the show some songs that people who were familiar with it probably do miss, but they just weren’t driving the story,” he says. “So I wrote some new ones that are hopefully doing the job.” Some lost tunes, like “Trucker Hat Blues” and “Dragonbelly,” were key to the original concept album, but their new replacements are Broadway-worthy, especially “Sail On,” a rousing ballad that’s blessed by Eduardo

Rivera’s soaring vocals and Milka Ramos’ propulsive percussion. Producer-director Michael Marinaccio, who served as assistant director on the 2008 version, told patrons during a post-performance talkback that American culture has finally caught up with the show. “I think it was not the right time for it, and it feels like now it’s a little more relevant. It’s almost too real.” This time around, rather than an expensive full production, Marinaccio mounted it concert-style with minimal staging. “We didn’t have a lot of time or resources to put into this, and we didn’t feel like we wanted to get to full production right away,” he explains. “We wanted to do something like this where we could present the piece and get feedback and workshop a little before we go to the next level.” “We were a little bit concerned because we were presenting it as a concert only,” Kimbro admits. In order to “flesh out” the visuals, Tymisha Harris came aboard to provide costumes and choreography (as well as cameo as the Acid Queen-esque Mother Massey), and Dana Mott designed animated scene-setting backdrops. [Full disclosure: I was credited as “multimedia consultant,” which means I loaned the company my spare video projector and introduced them to Mott.] Marinaccio calls Mott “my hero of this show,” saying “to do it as a scaled-down version but still get the story across, I really felt like the projections were an essential element.” Wasteland’s three-night run was filmed with an eye toward interesting investors in a fuller future production, but it also served as a fundraiser to help relocate the Venue, which is being demolished this fall. “The Venue changed the landscape of this community,” says Marinaccio. “It’s been a springboard for innovation and new creative works. Unfortunately, it’s going away on Sept. 12, so this is wonderfully bittersweet for us to be here.” skubersky@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

Moldovan-Romanian restaurant tables a cross-section of Eurasian bites BY FAIYAZ KARA

ith the Turks and Russians figuring heavily into the history of the country now known as Moldova, its cuisine, not surprisingly, takes on the intersectional complexion of a crossroads nation. Super-quick history lesson: Moldova was once part of the Principality of Moldavia, which included Romania. As many Moldovans identify with Romania and Romanian culture, there’s been a great desire from both countries to reunite. It’s also why the veranda-less Veranda, a restaurant at the crossroads of Sand Lake Road and OBT, touts its “Romanian” cuisine even though it’s run by Moldovans. It also touts its “Italian” cuisine for, I’m guessing, their less adventurous clientele, or perhaps as a ploy to put the “Roman” in “Romanian.” Either way, it’s the part of the menu we consciously ignored, especially after having a chat with our affable server (who also happened to be the owner’s brother). He played up dishes that were uniquely Moldovan and we happily played along, though we weren’t exactly game after our first bite of mamaliga ($5.99), the most Moldavian of eats. Sure,

we could appreciate the peasanty plating of two mounds of polenta topped with sour cream and crumbles of salty cheese, but it didn’t exactly ignite our palates. Stuff those crumbles and a little dill inside dough fried up in a pan, and, well, now that had the makings of a winner. It’s called placinte ($7.99) and the doughy pastry drew immediate comparisons to Turkish pide. The pie is served with sour cream, but you’ll soon come to realize that most everything here is – even Moldovan zeama ($7), or chicken soup. It had me wishing I were a festering cesspool of sniffles, desperate for a palliating broth. Spooning in a bit of sour cream gave it a nice tang, and taking bites of a whole serrano pepper cleared more than just my sinuses. Chili peppers aren’t exactly synonymous with Eastern European cuisine, so it was surprising

to see the serrano served with the soup. We were told the traditional method is to bite the pepper once and drop it in the soup, not to take repeated bites of it as I did. If anything, I know where I’m coming when I do fall ill. A dish of cabbage and grape leaves ($14.99) stuffed with rice, pork, chicken and herbs is culinary convergence on a plate – Eastern Europe and the Levant, to be exact – but it’s the Turks they have to thank for the most gratifying dishes we sampled. Mititei, rolls of grilled minced beef and pork ($15.50), and seasoned Moldovan minced beef patties ($14.99) called parjoale, were kebabs to the core. Both paired nicely with a Bucuria cab from Romania and a Cricova merlot from Moldova, and both wines flowed on this particular night as a large party rollicked the atmosphere with singing, dancing and joyful carousing. We ordered another pour and enjoyed a couple of desserts – blintzlike clatite filled with cheese ($6.99) and fried Ukrainian pancakes called syrniki stuffed with Romanian cottage cheese and raisins ($6.99) – while taking in (at times, partaking in) the merriment. And, yes, both are served with sour cream. We felt buoyed at how they let a couple of outsiders like us into their happy little world but, then again, what would Moldovan cuisine be without letting outsiders in? fkara@orlandoweekly.com

LA BOUCHERIE

French steakhouse chain makes its U.S. debut inside the Bay Hill Plaza, offering fare a cut above Outback, but not quite the level of a Ruth’s Chris. Steaks, naturally, are the focus, including cuts like rump steak, top sirloin and various ground steaks. The “maquignon” – a burger with hashbrowns acting as buns – is an ideal lunchtime option. For starters, consider escargots, foie gras or a seasonal terrine. For the steakaverse, traditional preparations of pot au feu and blanquette de veau will give you all the French feels.

THIS IS AMERICA Jordan Peele explores the ugly truths of a divided country in Us BY KIKO MA RTINEZ

f the ultimate goal for filmmaker and Oscar-winning screenwriter Jordan Peele is to continue to create a catalog of thrillers that challenge audiences to think beyond the visceral horror elements of the standard slasher flick, he’s definitely on the right track with Us, the follow-up to his critically-acclaimed 2017 directorial debut, Get Out. With Us, Peele, who focused on some fascinating racial themes in his first film, confronts other dark and discomforting secrets embedded in the fabric of America and does so from the pages of a highly ambitious and thematically heavy script that melds together typical home invasion tropes and political commentary that, while visionary, don’t always stick the landing. Us tells the story of the Wilson family – mother Adelaide (Oscar winner Lupita Nyong’o), father Gabe (Winston Duke) and children Zora (Shahadi Wright Joseph) and Jason (Evan Alex) – who are on their way to their summer vaca-

tion home on the California coast. When Adelaide finds out Gabe wants to make a trip to the Santa Cruz beach to hang out with their longtime friends the Tylers (Elisabeth Moss and Tim Heidecker) and their twin daughters, she’s not too keen on the plan. As a child, Adelaide experienced something so bone-chilling at that particular beach, returning to it makes her extremely anxious. They go anyway, make small talk on the sand, get spooked when Jason wanders off for a short period and ultimately end up back at their vacation home where the real terror is about to begin. Just before bedtime, Jason notices a family standing motionless outside at the top of their driveway. Before the Wilsons know it, the creepy family has infiltrated the house, taken them hostage and revealed them to be their doppelgängers. From this point on, the Wilsons spend the rest of the film running from the malevolent versions of themselves and trying to survive long enough for Peele to

unpack everything he wants to convey in respect to the divisive state of the country and the disturbing issues that have been augmented by the growing contempt for those fellow Americans with clashing belief systems. Of course, all the metaphors and messages unleashed by Peele are up for thorough analysis. Us (U.S.?) is the kind of film that should be seen a dozen times, dissected and then written about in thesis form. The problem, however, is that the ambiguous makeup of Peele’s sweeping ideas – as much as it allows audiences to explore and interpret multiple themes on their own (classism, wealth inequality, the phenomenon of synchronicity, social identity, the debate on nature vs. nurture) – feels excessive and detached at times. Still, Peele hasn’t lost our attention for whatever high-concept project he wants to tackle next, including his upcoming reboot of The Twilight Zone, a classic TV series that seems ripe for a Peele reimagining. Maybe later Peele can remake the cheesy 1986 horror movie Chopping Mall, which features a shopping mall security robot that goes on a killing spree, so we can bear witness to his intricate perspective on the dangers of economic materialism, corporate greed and freemarket anarchy. feedback@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

Julianne Moore in Gloria Bell PHOTO COURTESY OF A24

BY ST EVE SCHN EID ER

OPENING THIS WEEK: Gloria Bell Sebastián Lelio’s English-language remake of his well-received 2013 Chilean drama Gloria is being billed as a “reimagining” – which is just about the nicest way I’ve ever heard of saying “nearly shot-for-shot remake, but with nobody talking funny.” This time, it’s Julianne Moore as the middle-aged divorcée trying to negotiate a new relationship with a paintball instructor. Lelio has compared Moore’s interpretation of the character to jazz music, telling The Hollywood Reporter, “You’ll feel the spirit of the original story but it’ll be reinvigorated and vital.” Gee, and I thought jazz was just an excuse to play a bunch of wrong notes. Find out what our Thaddeus McCollum thought of this Moore-y melody at orlandoweekly.com. (R; tentatively scheduled to open Friday at Enzian Theater, Maitland)

ALSO PLAYING: Birds of Passage Colombian directors Ciro Guerra (Embrace of the Serpent) and Cristina Gallego show us what happens to ancient tradition when people of the Mayuu tribe get on board with the drug trafficking of the 1960s and 1970s. Everybody begins dressing better, says the smart money, but don’t knock it: It sent Tony Soprano’s daughter to college. Or, as the saying goes, Mayuu live in interesting times. (NR; playing at Enzian) Climax Sangria laced with LSD is the catalyst for the members of a dance troupe to fly into a murderous frenzy of jealousy, sadism and lust. If you’ve ever dated a dancer, you know

that this is pretty much what it’s like all the time. But it’s also just another day at the office for filmmaker Gaspar Noé, whose movies like Irrèversible and Love haven’t exactly shied away from exploring the seedy underbelly of human behavior. Speaking of which, anybody want tickets to the ballet? I got a comp. (R; playing at Regal Winter Park Village Stadium 20 & RPX and AMC Dine-In Disney Springs 24) Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase Not a sequel to the 2007 Emma Roberts vehicle Nancy Drew, this new take on the timeless girl sleuth was brought to us by producer Ellen DeGeneres. In the title role is Sophia Lillis, whose Beverly Marsh in the forthcoming It: The Second Part will reportedly escape the literary character’s destiny of being gangbanged in a sewer. So now Roberts gets to stay the bad girl because she played a witch on TV. (PG; playing at AMC Dine-In Disney Springs 24) No Manches Frida 2 The 2016 movie No Manches Frida, a Mexican remake of a German film about wacky schoolteachers, was a substantial box office hit in the U.S. So now we have ourselves a sequel, which shakes up the formula by having the instructors in question haul their young charges to the beach. Hey, it worked as a brief vignette in Summer School. And as we all know, anything Mr. Shoop dallied with deserves to be milked for all it’s worth. We miss you, Anna Maria!

SEARCHING FOR THE YOUNG SOUL REBELS The Sh-Booms rep the City Beautiful with new album, video, tour BY JEN CRAY

eople want to slap a “soul” label on the Sh-Booms, but anyone who’s seen them drench the stage of Will’s Pub in whiskey and sweat can attest to the fact that their blood is pumping with so much more than that. “We have punk underneath our skin and all of this music comes from our soul,” bandleader and bassist Al Ruiz tells Orlando Weekly. “When I go to a show I want to be stimulated with my ears and my eyes, and the vibe. … It’s not about playing the right notes at the right time, it’s about what you’re feeling. That’s my definition of ‘soul’ music.” That sound has not only pricked the ears of Limited Fanfare Records, who are putting out their debut album, The Blurred Odyssey, on March 22, but of tastemaker and Bruce Springsteen guitarist Little Steven Van Zandt, who caught wind of the band’s track “Leon the Hustler” and featured it on his “Underground Garage” show on SiriusXM as the “Coolest Song in the World.” The band was thrilled to have been chosen, but maintain a humble approach to navigating

this new world of notoriety: “You do all this stuff, but you don’t know what’s gonna happen. You just have to believe in what you’re doing.” Part of that means believing in where you came from, and the local breakouts did just that in the video for the album’s lead single, “Audible.” The video is a love letter to Orlando spilling over with Easter eggs that will make local scenesters smile with recognition. Ruiz explains the genesis of the video: “The guy who does our content, he’s a buddy, and we were hanging out at Lil Indies while DJ BMF was spinning. He does projections on the wall behind him. This old Aretha Franklin video came on and she’s just walking the streets and we were like ‘that’s it!’ … Because the first lyrics of the song are ‘I’ve been walking and talking about you for years.’ The song is about a person’s life, these are the places she goes. “We go out to bars and hang out with our friends a lot so you see Wally’s and Will’s, Redlight Redlight, downtown. … We even

got Nadeem [Khan] in there, with his car!” For those unfamiliar with their backstory, Ruiz initially formed the Sh-Booms in 2011 with a different frontwoman, but it wasn’t until 2015 when Brenda Radney (or “the Supreme Queen Mizz Bren,” if you’re nasty) came into the picture that the group truly found their sound. Radney, fresh from her own music business adventures with Justin Timberlake’s Tennman label, brought a sultry power to the vocals that quickly transformed the Sh-Booms into the kind of band that makes beer-drinkers walk away from the bar and gravitate toward the stage. The Sh-Booms started selling out local shows, getting handpicked to open shows for the B-52s, KRS-One and Big Freedia. In short, everything started to fall into place and it’s all culminating now with a record deal, a record release and the biggest headlining tour yet – a tour that will also feature visual spectacle courtesy of Man … or Astro-Man?’s former projectionist Troy Durrett, who now works with the band. “We’ve never been out for this long at one time, so it’s kinda scary, trying to figure it all out with so many people,” says Ruiz. “We’ve had some really great shows, opening for other people, but the next chapter is about building ourselves from the ground up. It’s a slow burn, baby, and we’re just gonna keep grinding.” music@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

This week, a dive into Orlando’s

avant-garde underground and a veteran indie band finally make an Orlando debut. … And, goddamn, another one gone. R.I.P., Dick Dale.

TATSUYA NAKATANI, THE DINING ROOM, MARCH 13

By nature, avant-garde music always has it uphill. Fortunately, there’s a small but serious network of cognoscenti here that keeps it viable in Orlando. From the In-Between Series gallery shows to the Timucua White House to wherever the Civic Minded 5 touch down to informal house shows like this, art music seems to find a way in our city. This gathering was for Tatsuya Nakatani, the acclaimed experimental percussionist who’s found plenty of open doors in Orlando for his many tour stops here over the years (including an especially notable one in 2016 with Acid Mothers Temple’s Kawabata Makoto). He’s wellknown for frequent collaborations, as well as his gong orchestra project. But this special engagement featured only Nakatani left to his own devices, which is really the ultimate way to experience an artist of this caliber. With primal magnificence, he began on a giant suspended gong, working it with bow and mallet to strike the kind of deep drone frequency that musical shamans like Swans use to access other planes of consciousness. Once that foundation was set, Nakatani went on to weave an entire realm of and on his own. It was an extraordinary passage marked by tension, suspense, power and revelation.

The Sadies’ rock & roll streak burns bright even amid all the traditional twang. And as a unit, their playing is as locked in as it is lusty More than just mood and space, Nakatani mines extraordinary vocabulary and articulation out of pure percussion. And it’s not simply due to his impressive arsenal. His playing is capable of astonishing dynamism and rendering, the vast majority of which didn’t even entail traditional rhythmic drumming. In lesser hands, I’ve seen rigs like this be display and gimmick. But not Nakatani. As tempting a visual feast as his array is, the proof of Nakatani as a live expressionist is in the listening. Shut your eyes and his virtuosic sonic artistry immediately closes in, enveloping you in a grip that’s total and exhilarating. Open them back up and you’ll see the whole spectacle anew as artist and implement fuse into a single, swirling organism of sound that’s all at once sophisticated, tribal and beyond time. Next to a master like this, many of his contemporaries – even the most famous ones – can seem like tinkerers. Far and away, Nakatani is one of the most purposeful and transporting players of the percussion vanguard, a musical craftsman and visionary with few true peers. And of particular local interest, he’s also a relative regular to our town. Next time he comes, make it an imperative.

THE SADIES, THE BEACHAM, MARCH 12

Unless your address leads to somewhere under a rock, you already know about Kurt Vile’s ongoing conquest of the indie world. But what was arguably more momentous about his latest Orlando show was that Canadian indie heroes the Sadies were on the bill. This was big because after about 25 years in the game, this was finally their Orlando debut. The Sadies are one of the most evocative bands in the indie roots scene. Though their primary masts of country & western and early rock & roll make an undeniably defining framework, their music rides with remarkable depth. It can rev hard with garage octane or ring over the hills with the sonorousness and cinema of surf and spaghetti-Western sounds, sometimes all in one song. Live, their rock & roll streak burns bright even amid all the traditional twang. And as a unit, their playing’s as locked in as it is lusty, with tons of skill and horsepower between them, all in collective service of the music. For the finale, Vile himself came out to join the band for “It’s Easy (Like Walking),” the song he also sang on their last album, 2017’s Northern Passages. Considering their pedigree, it was nice to see that the Sadies were given a respectful 50-minute set instead of the usual opening 30. And since they definitely drew their own ample applause, maybe we’ll see them again before their golden anniversary tour. baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

Spooky Empire EVENTS

The convention so nice it happens twice – per year – returns to the Wyndham this weekend. Spooky Empire’s biannual convention brings together a nostalgia-inducing slate of celebrities for photo ops, autographs and panels, and fills in the margins with costume contests, nightly parties, a mobile tattoo parlor and plenty of merch. This edition’s slate features a reunion of the kids and mom from E.T., ’90s teen heartthrobs Christina Ricci and Fairuza Balk, and true Hollywood legend Christopher Lloyd. Luckily, there’s no limited-edition Elvira Funko Pop this time, so riots should be kept to a minimum. – Thaddeus McCollum 11 a.m. | Wyndham Orlando Resort, 8001 International Drive | 954-258-7852 | spookyempire.com | $30-$70

Luke Bryan

The ever-growing Country Thunder festival franchise has finally expanded southward to Florida and is bringing some heavy starpower to Kissimmee’s Osceola Heritage Park on a level with Daytona’s Country 500. The three-day festival is sure to make one hell of a first impression with its troika of headliners – Luke Bryan, Toby Keith and Luke Combs. The lineup also boasts High Valley, Chris Lane, Tracy Lawrence, Granger Smith, Runaway June and LANCO. The organizers on the ground at Heritage Park promise camping and food and drink vendors aplenty … and a little thing called the RAM National Circuit Finals Rodeo going down at Silver Spurs that same weekend.

Pagliacci/Pulcinella OPERA

OUR PICKS FOR THE BEST EVENTS THIS WEEK 46

Opera Orlando goes the show-within-a-show route in this creative mashup of the 1892 one-act opera Pagliacci (the classic tale of a sad clown who murders his cheating wife) with “Pulcinella,” a short Stravinsky ballet from 1920 based on the Italian commedia dell’arte character who eventually evolved into Punch (that puppet who’s always bopping his wife, Judy, on the head with a stick). So what we have here is a pair of truly exemplary marriages! Mars/Venus relations aside, this show may be the most fun you can have in a red-velvet seat all week – Pagliacci is grippingly emotional, “Pulcinella” almost feverishly sprightly, and joining the singers and dancers is beloved local vaudeville troupe Phantasmagoria. The whole production has a raffish vaudevillian charm sure to appeal to all ages. – Jessica Bryce Young 7:30 p.m. Friday-Saturday, 2 p.m. Sunday, 7:30 p.m. Tuesday | Alexis & Jim Pugh Theater, Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, 445 S.

United We Brunch EVENTS

What sort of misanthropic curmudgeon doesn’t like brunch? Sure, some folks might not be a fan of a spicy Bloody Mary or a bottomless mimosa, stacks of buttermilk pancakes or a righteously stuffed breakfast burrito. But luckily enough, even if you’re not an enthusiast of the aforementioned, there’s more than enough choices to go around at Orlando’s premiere brunch-bingeing-palooza, United We Brunch. This year’s event features the likes of Dixie Dharma, 3 Natives, Maxine’s on Shine, and many, many more. VIP tickets include an hour early entry, as well as private bars and restrooms. Need we say more? – Xander Peters 11 a.m.-3 p.m. | Orchid Garden & Ballroom, 126 W. Church St. | unitedwebrunch.com | $45-$70

Pitbull MUSIC

There was a time when a rapper named Pitbull seemed kinda scary, but then we all discovered that the much-maligned pit bull dog breed is actually loving, affectionate and cuddly. Similarly, Pitbull, aka Armando Pérez aka Mr. 305 aka Mr. Worldwide, has seen his public persona change from scrappy Latin hip-hop upstart to that of a guy who provides voices for kids’ animated films or teams up with Walmart to visit the store that gets the most Facebook likes. But even though this Pitbull has been defanged, we can’t help but think he’s a very good boy since he’s consistently used his celebrity for good causes, like ferrying cancer patients on his private plane from Puerto Rico to the mainland in the wake of Hurricane Maria. Call in a favor with your friend who works at Universal for the chance to see him play underneath a big red rollercoaster this weekend. – TM 8:30 p.m. | Universal Studios, 6000 Universal Blvd. | 407-363-8000 | universalorlando.com | included with admission

Nunhex MUSIC

Miami filth-punk masterminds Nunhex have carved a musical and literal (Uncle Lou’s roof never stood a chance) path of destruction through the City Beautiful on their increasingly rare forays northward. And this time around everything’s bigger; the venue is Will’s and the powerhouse support acts – heavy local contenders the Nightmare, new motorheads Karborätor and (wow) Philly’s Fuckin’ Lovers, a newish project boasting members of Gainesville’s untouchable Allergy. It’s a night of eyeswide-open d-beat and beyond that will certainly liven up an otherwise sleepy Sunday night.

Ordinary Boys Useful or Useless: Ordinary Boys Live shows at Independent Bar are rare enough that any one is noteworthy, but this week’s booking of South Florida’s premier Smiths and Morrissey tribute act, Ordinary Boys, is worth a special mention. With Morrissey himself seemingly hell-bent on undoing all the goodwill he’s earned over the years with a sorrowfully predictable descent into right-wing xenophobia and racism in recent years, seeing a cover band – especially one as tightly honed as this one – might be the best option for fans of his music who are disgusted with his politics. Sorry, Mozza, but your joke isn’t funny anymore. 8 p.m. Saturday; Independent Bar, 70 N. Orange Ave.; $10; facebook.com/ independentbarorlando.

Discoteca Electronica Vinyl Arts Bar has rebranded as Vinyl Tapas Lounge following a remodel and renewed focus on its food menu, meaning it’s time to go check it out if you haven’t been in a while.

Colonial Drive; $5; facebook.com/vinylartsbar.

Fryer Festival One of the better puns we’ve seen referencing the disastrous Fyre Festival and its subsequent dueling documentaries is this weekend’s Fryer Festival at the Waterfront (formerly Julie’s Waterfront). Music is provided by Blink-180 Deux and Subliminal Doubt, covering Blink-182 and No Doubt, respectively. Meanwhile, attendees can get relaxed in comparative luxury with drink specials and food offerings from the titular fryer. 4 p.m. Sunday; The Waterfront, 4201 S.

Orlando Holi Festival E V E N TS

The Hindu festival of colors, also known as Holi, is celebrated every spring in honor of the triumph of good over evil, which might feel a little counterintuitive right now because the evil of pollen is flourishing. Nevertheless, the Orlando Holi Festival promises to be a vibrant celebration, allergies and all. People will toss colored powder and water at each other while Bollywood music plays in the background (and sets us all up for a Ram-Leela meet-cute). Expect delicious food and a lot more traditional dancing. While the admission is free at the Orlando Holi Festival, parking is $10, so Lyft accordingly. – Monivette Cordeiro 11:30 a.m.-6 p.m. | Bill Frederick Park, 3401 S.

MARCH 20-26, 2019 ● ORLANDO WEEKLY

B Y DA N S AVAG E

I’m a straight white woman in my early 30s. In theory, I’ve always been into men of all races – but in practice, most of my exes are Latino and white. In September, I met this really handsome Chinese American guy, and I feel like he rewired me. I’ve been exclusively attracted to Asian guys since. I’m not writing to ask if this is racist, because I’m not asking these guys to, like, speak Korean to me in bed or do any role-playing stuff. We just date and have sex, same as my past relationships. But if any of these dudes saw my Tinder matches, they’d be like, “This woman has a thing for Asian guys.” Which I do, but it’s pretty new. Is this normal? Do people just change preferences like that? Also, can you do a PSA about Asian dicks? In my recent but considerable experience, they run the gamut from average to gigantic. If small Asian dicks were a thing, I would have encountered at least one by now. That shit is a myth. Asian Male/White Female Here’s my general take on race-specific sexual preferences: So long as you can see and treat your sex partners as individuals and not just as objects – we are all also objects – and so long as you can express your preferences without coming across and/or being a racist shitbag, and so long as you’ve interrogated your preferences to make sure they’re actually yours and not a mindless desire for what you’ve been told you’re supposed to want (i.e., the currently prevailing beauty standard or its equally mindless rejection, the “transgressive” fetishization of the “other”), then it’s OK to seek out sex and/or romantic partners of a particular race. I ran my general take on race-specific sexual preferences past Joel Kim Booster – a writer and comedian whose work often touches on race and desire – and he approved. (Whew.) I also shared your letter with him, AMWF, and Booster had some thoughts for you. “It doesn’t sound like her newfound preference for Asian men has anything to do with the uncomfortable fetishization of culture,” Booster says. “It’s good that she’s not asking them to speak Korean or do any sort of Asian role-playing – something that’s been asked of me before (and it’s a bummer, trust). Her interest in Asian men seems to be mostly an aesthetic thing, which you certainly can’t fault her for: There are a lot of hot Asian dudes out there.” Booster also has some questions for you. “It’s not uncommon for people later in life to discover that they’re attracted to something they’d never considered sexy before – full-grown adults are out here discovering they’re bi every damn day,” Booster says. “But she went 30 years before she saw one 58

Asian man she was attracted to? And now this guy has ‘rewired’ her to be attracted only to Asian men?” He says that he would like to see a picture of this magical guy, AMWF, and I would, too. “If she was chill about it and just started adding Asian men into the mix, this wouldn’t seem like an issue,” adds Booster. “But from what I can gather, she has shifted to exclusively fucking Asian guys and feels the need to write a letter about it. That feels like a red flag, and yet I can’t pinpoint why.” Maybe you’re just making up for lost time – maybe you’re getting with all the Asian dick you can now to make up for all the Asian dick you missed out on before you ran into that one impossibly hot Asian guy – and your desires/preferences/Tinder profile will achieve a racially harmonious equilibrium at a certain point. But whether you remain exclusively attracted to Asian guys for the rest of your life or not, AMWF, make sure you don’t treat Asian guys like you’re doing them a favor by sitting on their gamut-running dicks. “I’m wary of people with a specific racial preference for Asian men. And it’s less out of a fear of being fetishized – though that’s certainly part of it – and more because of the implicit power imbalance that exists in those relationships,” Booster says. “It’s all artificially constructed by The Culture, of course, but I’m acutely aware that society views Asian men as less masculine and therefore less desirable. And I’ve learned that guys who have a preference for Asian men sometimes bring a certain kind of ‘entitlement’ to our interactions, i.e., ‘You should feel lucky I’m paying you this kind of attention.’ And that’s gross! It doesn’t sound like she’s doing that, but something about this letter makes me feel like she wants to be congratulated for being woke enough to consider Asian guys. She’d do well to keep this stuff behind the curtain – no one wants to feel like someone was into them only because of some witch’s curse a hot Chinese American guy put on them at a bar.” I’m a guy. I’ve been with my wife since 2006. She’s my sexy Asian babe. (Yeah, I’m that white guy who married an Asian woman – I’m a stereotype, but she isn’t.) In the bedroom, it’s great. I’m still madly in love with her two kids later, and she’s as sexy as ever. But she doesn’t like to give blowjobs – always been this way. When we were dating, she’d say I could go get blowjobs from someone else, but I always took it as a joke. At 35, I’m hornier than I was at 25. And my sexual tastes have changed over the years – or they’ve expanded, maybe, since I now want to see what it’s like to get head from a guy. How do I convince my wife to agree to this? She’s afraid I might like it; I obviously

hope I do. There’s nothing I want more than to get head on the way home and then be able to tell her about it and fuck her later that night. How can I convince her to let me do this while also being able to tell her about it and be truthful? Horny Married Man I’m not lumping your question together with AMWF’s in order to create some sort of hot-for-Asians-themed column. No, I’m including your letter – which arrived the same day – because it illustrates a point Booster made in his response to AMWF: “Full-grown adults are out here discovering they’re bi every damn day,” as he said, and you’re apparently one of them. I can only assume that by “she’s afraid I might like it,” you mean you’ve already asked the wife and she said no. You can ask again – maybe she’ll change her mind – but if the answer is still no, HMM, then the answer is still no. Maybe if this were a sexual adventure you could go on together, it might be more appealing to the wife. And it is, because just as there are dudes out there who love blowing straight married men, there are dudes who are up for blowing straight married men in front of their wives. So if you haven’t already proposed doing this in the context of a hot sexual encounter with a bi guy who’d also be into your wife, maybe you should. As for your label, there are straight guys out there who can close their eyes and think about women while dudes blow them, i.e., straight guys capable of making the mouthis-a-mouth leap. But you’re turned on not just by the idea of getting an enthusiastic blowjob, you’re specifically into the idea of getting one from a dude. That does make you bi, HMM, but for marketing purposes? Yeah, you’re going to want to go with straight. On the Lovecast: Musical-theater nerds rejoice, it’s Andrew Rannells! Listen at savagelovecast.com. mail@savagelove.net ITMFA.org

Meet Gracy and Bear! Gracy (A395875) and Bear (A395876) are both 2 years old and arrived at the shelter at the end of January. They were both pretty shy at first, but have come a long way! Gracy is the more outgoing of the two, while Bear is a little more reserved. Gracy loves to play in the water and is energetic. Bear likes to play with toys and enjoys eating treats. We would love to see them find a home together if possible, but they would do all right if adopted separately as well. Both are spayed, vaccinated and ready for immediate adoption! For the month of March, come on down to Orange County Animal Services to participate in our “March Meowdness” adoption promotion! The adoption fee for cats will be reduced to just $10, and fees include sterilization, vaccinations and a microchip. The adoption fee for dogs will be $55.
