Readers react to stories from last week’s issue. On March 22, we reported on how the U.S. Coast Guard offloaded more than 27,000 pounds of cocaine worth about $360 million in Florida. The drugs were delivered to the Miami Beach base by the crew of the Coast Guard Cutter Tampa, based in Portsmouth, Virginia. Three Coast Guard crews intercepted 12 separate drug smuggling vessels off the coasts of Mexico, Central America and South America in international waters of the Eastern Pacific Ocean. @Michael Feher Seems like something a wall around Florida would have stopped, right? @Donny Harmon Alright, people. What’s the point in having a wall if you’re not going to lock the gate? @Camille Campbell This isn’t news. This is a Florida tradition. On March 22, we reported on cane toads, a poisonous invasive species that was once the

scourge of Australia and are now the scourge of Florida. Sightings of the toads are statewide and have occurred in Tampa, Orlando and even as far as the Panhandle, but right now South Florida is straight-up plagued. The Palm Beach Gardens community is currently dealing with thousands of cane toads “clogging people’s pools, patios, and even spread out all over the street,” says West Palm Beach television station WPTV. “I just see a massive amount of toads or frogs everywhere, covering every square inch,” said resident Jennie Quasha to the station. “You can’t even walk through the grass without stepping on one.”

@Mike O’Brien Yeah, I saw one picking up cigarette butts at the WaWa. @Martha Scaturro Williams Let’s feed them to the pythons. Maybe that would get rid of them both. @Steve Kaspic I see a lot more of the Cuban tree frogs than anything else. Such a pain doing the freezer method. I prefer a BB gun.

Lakeland’s Confederate statue is on its way out, Orlando will launch a new rideshare hub program in downtown this spring, and other news you may have missed last week. »

Lakeland’s Confederate statue is finally coming down: It only took a years-long debate and a federal lawsuit, but the 108-year-old Confederate monument in Lakeland’s downtown Munn Park is finally coming down. The process of moving the statue about a mile down the road to Veterans Memorial Park began last week, says a spokesperson for the City of Lakeland. The project will cost roughly $225,000. It’s expected to be completed by mid-April, once the statue has been reassembled in its new location.

Thad Seymour will continue as UCF interim president until 2020: University of Central Florida trustees voted last week to keep Thad Seymour Jr. in the role of interim president. Seymour, previously UCF’s vice president for partnerships and chief innovation officer, was tapped last month to serve in the shortterm role. That came after President Dale Whittaker resigned amid a financial scandal stemming from the misuse of money for a campus building project. With the trustees’ decision, Seymour would continue as interim president during a months-long process to choose a replacement for Whittaker. The decision to keep Seymour in the interim role is expected to go before the state university system’s Board of Governors this week for approval.

Orlando will launch a new rideshare hub program in downtown this spring: The two rideshare hubs will be located at Magnolia Avenue near Heritage Square and Gertrude Avenue near Jefferson and Washington Streets. There will be designated pick-up lanes for cabs and rideshare drivers working with Uber and Lyft, as well as public restrooms, enhanced lighting and dedicated security. The hubs are part of a six-month pilot program, open Friday and Saturday nights from midnight to 3 a.m., the city’s busiest hours.

Florida’s largest medical marijuana provider has already started selling smokable cannabis: Trulieve announced last week that it’s already selling smokable cannabis, with its first sale of the product to a patient at a Tallahassee dispensary. The move comes days after Gov. Ron DeSantis signed legislation that repealed the state’s ban on smoking. Trulieve says it will offer a rotating selection of popular whole-flower strains at all 26 of its dispensaries statewide. The company also plans to roll out smokable medical marijuana in a variety of forms, including prerolled.

Critics blast Florida GOP effort to make ex-felons pay fees before restoring rights as ‘modern poll tax’: Felons would have to clear up court costs, fees and fines before having their voting rights restored under a House proposal castigated by critics as a modern take on poll taxes designed to keep black voters from participating in elections. In a party-line vote following heated testimony, a House subcommittee signed off on the measure aimed at clarifying parts of a constitutional amendment approved by voters in November. Amendment 4 granted “automatic” restoration of voting rights to felons “who have completed all terms of their sentence, including parole or probation.” The amendment excluded people “convicted of murder or a felony sexual offense.” orlandoweekly.com

DOES THIS SOUND LIKE VINDICATION TO YOU? Trump is a man surrounded by smoke shouting that there’s never been fire BY J EFFREY C. BI L L M A N

Two years of drama ended in a Friday night news dump, a brief note from Attorney General William Barr to Congress. The Mueller report was in, he wrote. No more indictments. The MAGA crowd gloated: President Donald Trump was in the clear. So were Donald Trump Jr. and Jared Kushner. Liberal fantasies of the Trump administration ending with a frog march out of the White House had evaporated. Two days later, Barr elaborated with a four-page summary of Mueller’s findings. “The Special Counsel’s investigation did not find that the Trump campaign or anyone associated with it conspired or coordinated with Russia in its efforts to influence the 2016 U.S. presidential election,” Barr wrote. Also, he and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein had “concluded that the evidence … is not sufficient to establish that the President committed an obstruction-ofjustice offense.” Trump declared victory. A rash of “no conspiracy” headlines backed him up. “Special Counsel’s Conclusions Lift a Cloud Over Trump Presidency,” declared the New York Times. The Washington Post called Mueller’s report an “unmistakable political victory for Trump.” Presidential historian Douglas Brinkley told the Post: “Trump actually kind of has inoculation now against other charges against him because he was able to prove his innocence here.” If that becomes the conventional wisdom, America is truly fucked. Trump did not, in fact, prove his innocence. And, importantly, none of the people declaring that the report vindicates Trump have read the report; they’re instead responding to a carefully worded summary prepared by a Trump appointee. Assuming Barr’s letter accurately reflects Mueller’s findings, the special counsel’s report was confined to determining whether Trump’s team conspired with Russia to subvert the 2016 election. But that’s only one piece of the puzzle; it ignores, for example, Trump’s business dealings in Russia, including the planned $300 million Trump Tower Moscow, about which Trump and his allies repeatedly lied, and whether they’d influenced his calls to end sanctions

against Russia. As national security journalist and Mueller obsessive Marcy Wheeler argued in The New Republic, this focus misses the point: “The hack-and-leak is not the crime Trump may have committed. It is, instead, a quid pro quo deal by which Russia would help Trump win and Trump would relieve Russia of the sanctions imposed for engaging in human rights violations, annexing Crimea, and hacking the election to help Trump win.” On its own terms, Barr’s summary isn’t as definitive as it seems. While Barr says Mueller “did not find that the Trump campaign or anyone associated with it conspired or coordinated with Russia,” that’s not quite what Mueller’s report said. The special counsel actually wrote (emphasis

mine): “The investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian Government in its election interference activities.” Small tweaks, but important ones. “Did not establish” means he couldn’t prove a crime, not that no coordination happened. “Members of the Trump campaign” is notably specific, since court filings indicate that Trump ally Roger Stone tried to coordinate the release of Hillary Clinton’s hacked emails with WikiLeaks with the encouragement of a “senior Trump Campaign official.” The same goes for “with the Russian Government,” as we know not only that Stone coordinated with WikiLeaks, but that Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort gave campaign polling data to an oligarch linked to Russian intelligence and Don Jr. took a clandestine meeting with a Kremlin-connected lawyer peddling dirt on Hillary Clinton. A bigger problem is Barr’s unique justification for absolving Trump of obstruction. Mueller, Barr wrote, had not reached a

“legal conclusion” about charging Trump. Instead, Barr wrote, Mueller laid out the pros and cons. And Barr decided there wasn’t a case. Of course he did. Last summer, months before he became AG, Barr wrote the administration an unsolicited memo claiming that the president couldn’t obstruct justice by interfering with an investigation, a theory that helped him get the gig. In his summary, he argues that since Trump wasn’t charged with conspiracy, he couldn’t have obstructed an investigation into that conspiracy. As David Lurie writes in Slate, “If Barr’s view was widely adopted by federal prosecutors, it would provide a truly perverse incentive to engage in obstruction. If wrongdoers knew they were unlikely to be charged with obstruction if prosecutors are unable to obtain sufficient evidence of an underlying crime, they would have every reason to engage in obstruction and witness tampering.” Even if there was no conspiracy, why would that preclude Trump from obstructing an investigation to prevent personal or political embarrassment, or even a different kind of legal exposure? That would still be obstruction. Mueller’s decision to punt might seem odd. But Department of Justice policy prevents a president from being indicted anyway. So if Mueller believed Trump committed a crime, he would likely have done exactly what he did: lay out the facts as a roadmap for Congress to consider impeachment. Barr inserted his own opinion and gave Trump the headlines he wanted. Maybe that’s what happened. Maybe not. But it underscores the need to see the whole report. And it underscores the need to view the investigation in context – and to remember that the “witch-hunt” netted a whole lot of witches: Mueller indicted about three dozen people. So far, those indictments have led to seven convictions or guilty pleas and four prison sentences (two people have yet to be sentenced), including Trump’s campaign manager, longtime personal attorney, and national security adviser. In addition, the president was all but named as an unindicted co-conspirator in an ongoing case. There are more investigations to come – into the Trump Organization, into Trump’s inaugural committee, into all sorts of things. In his best-case scenario, Trump is a knave surrounded by charlatans, a man surrounded by smoke shouting that there’s never been fire. That doesn’t sound like vindication to me. feedback@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

BY A.C. THOMP SON, W I T H R EP OR T I N G BY LU CAS WA L D R O N A N D C H R I STO P H E R M ATH I AS

n his 74-page manifesto, Brenton Tarrant, the alleged gunman responsible for the massacres at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, lays out a hyper-extreme worldview animated by racist and fascist thought. While the authorities say Tarrant posted his treatise on 8chan – a relatively obscure web forum that attracts trolls, hackers and hardcore white supremacists – the ideas in the document are also circulating on many of the world’s most popular social media platforms. Over the past four months, for instance, a YouTube user known as Third Positionist posted over 100 videos espousing extremist ideas that closely resemble what the authorities have identified as Tarrant’s writings. The user’s videos – full of racist, anti-Semitic and Islamophobic views

– have attracted more than a half-million views. YouTube said last week that it had terminated the Third Positionist account after being alerted to it by ProPublica and HuffPost. It said it had found no evidence that the account belonged to the accused New Zealand gunman. Social media giants have long struggled to moderate extremist content, and most have waged periodic crackdowns. But in recent months, YouTube has emerged as something of a flourishing option for white supremacist and neo-Nazi videos. The material posted by the user named Third Positionist – mirroring much of the hateful content subscribed to and promoted by the gunman in New Zealand – is but one example. Third Positionism is a variant of fascism that

ORLANDO WEEKLY ● MARCH 27-APRIL 2, 2019 ● orlandoweekly.com

blends elements of the extreme right and left. Tarrant’s online writings praised Sir Oswald Mosley, a mid-20th-century British fascist leader who supported Adolf Hitler and fiercely opposed immigration. At least two speeches by Mosley are featured in Third Positionist videos. The symbol used as the logo for Third Positionist’s YouTube channel – nine interlocking crosses – was also drawn on one of the gunman’s rifles. The graphic on the front page of Tarrant’s treatise also appears repeatedly in Third Positionist videos, albeit in a slightly altered form. A recent video posted to the Third Positionist channel featured a discussion about the merits of Nazi Germany and the need to remove all Jews from “positions of power.” Another, uploaded late last year, argued that the U.S. fought on the

wrong side during World War II. On March 11, 2019, the channel posted an interview with Thomas Rousseau, one of the organizers of the 2017 white power rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, and leader of Patriot Front, a right-wing extremist group that uses the Nazi slogan “Blood and Soil.” Rousseau said the group is focused on “reclaiming America” for white men.

White supremacist YouTube

channels have been online for years, but many appear to have launched – or relaunched – in the past few months. Banned videos seem to reappear regularly, sometimes with new titles, confounding the efforts of content moderators. “It’s a war of attrition against those who keep coming back, keep coming back and posting,” says Oren Segal, director of the Center on Extremism at the Anti-Defamation League. White supremacist content “is a huge challenge” for social media platforms. “They don’t have the technology to assure that once you’re banned you can’t come back.” Much of the material on the Third Positionist channel is drawn from podcasts and livestreams originally posted by Mike “Enoch” Peinovich, a New York City-based white nationalist and anti-Semite. Peinovich, who helms a racist media micro-empire called The Right Stuff, maintains a YouTube channel, as well. “The muslims are in the process of conquering Europe through migration and birth rates,” wrote one commenter on the TRS Radio page. “Something needs to be done about this above all else.” Another added: “It’s time to become Vikings and wipe these people out.” A media organization calling itself Vanguard Streaming Network is typical of the recent activity on YouTube. The network has created an array of channels on YouTube over the past year, many of them featuring the same content in an apparent attempt to elude censors. The network is quite open about its beliefs: Its logo features the SS insignia used by the Nazis, and one of the hosts calls himself Goebbels. One Vanguard video features a cross-Atlantic conversation between Richard Spencer, the American white nationalist, and Mark Collett, a longtime racial extremist in England. Some of the videos include links to Streamlabs, a streaming service that white nationalists have been using to collect donations. Streamlabs has taken some action against racist material, recently shutting down two Vanguard channels. Carla Hill, a senior investigative researcher at the AntiDefamation League, says she’d heard of the Vanguard Streaming Network through Augustus Sol Invictus, a Floridian far-right attorney who attended the “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville and defends white supremacists. “He is collectively working with these other individuals to form these media outlets for podcasting, which is the new way for white supremacists to get their messages out,” she says. Invictus, which is his legal name, didn’t respond to a request for comment.

One relatively new show on the Vanguard Streaming Network is called Goy Talk, co-hosted by a masked man calling himself “Dino.” Prominent white supremacist and neo-Nazi figures have appeared on the show, including Christopher Cantwell and former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke. As reported by the anti-racist blog Angry White Men, in November, a Goy Talk host wore a large rubber nose and pretended to be a Jewish man named “Finky Heebstein,” talking in a nasal voice about the “caravan of love” moving through Mexico. The skit was meant to promote the anti-Semitic conspiracy theory that Jews are hastening immigration to the U.S. as a way to replace white people. It’s the same conspiracy theory that prosecutors say motivated Robert Bowers to massacre 11 people at a synagogue in Pittsburgh in October, only a few weeks before the episode of Goy Talk aired. Both the Third Positionist and Vanguard Streaming channels share followers with The Red Elephants, a channel that predominantly features controversial political commentary from the channel’s owner, Vincent James, and livestreams of anti-Muslim and pro-Trump rallies and protests. At times, James has been a vocal supporter of the Rise Above Movement, a white power gang. James livestreamed an event billed as the “March Against Sharia” in San Bernardino, California, in June 2017. In his video, streamed to his Facebook page and later published on the Red Elephants YouTube channel, James bantered with Rise Above Movement leader Robert Rundo. On camera, James asked Rundo to “say the 14 words,” a reference to a neo-Nazi slogan about preserving the white race. Rundo responded by saying, “I’m a big fan of the 14 words.” Later in the video, James filmed Rundo and fellow RAM member Ben Daley running through the crowd, boasting

that they had “physically removed” counterprotesters. Rundo added, “We chased ’em down the block, smashed up their car.” Late last year, Rundo, Daley and six other members or associates of RAM were jailed on federal rioting charges. Rundo and Daley have pleaded not guilty and are currently incarcerated while awaiting trial. Two of their co-defendants have already admitted their guilt and taken plea deals. Segal, of the AntiDefamation League, credits YouTube and other major platforms with having become more aggressive about policing white supremacist content. Still, he notes, “It’s pretty easy still to find anti-Semitic and white supremacist videos online.” Becca Lewis, of Data and Society, a New YorkILLUSTRATION BY CLAY JONES based research center, says YouTube has historically taken a “hands-off, laissez faire” approach to white supremacist content, focusing mostly on eradicating “explicit slurs or threats to violence” from the platform. But white supremacists, she says, have become “extremely adept at masking use of slurs and the inherent violence in their discourse.” “There are certain white supremacist channels that have been running for upwards of 10 years on YouTube,” says Lewis, an affiliate researcher with the center. YouTube did not respond to a request for comment on its efforts over the years to deal hateful content. It did promise to investigate the channels brought to its attention by ProPublica and HuffPost. The killings in Christchurch are part of an international pattern of attacks on Muslims, which seem to have increased over the past two years. Since 2016, at least three U.S. mosques have been set afire, and at least three other Islamic institutions across the country have targeted for terrorist attacks. In January 2017, a man entered a mosque in Quebec City and shot and killed six people. He was sentenced to at least 40 years in prison this year. The killer followed white supremacists, conspiracy theorists and right-wing commentators online, and he was fixated on Muslims and immigrants. He was a fan of President Donald Trump and his Muslim ban. A.C. Thompson is a staff reporter at ProPublica. His stories, which often examine the criminal justice system, have helped lead to the exoneration of two innocent San Francisco men sentenced to life in prison, and the prosecution of seven New Orleans police officers. This story is published via Creative Commons, and was a joint project of ProPublica and HuffPost.

TO BE YOUNG, GIFTED AND BLACK Orlando expatriate Amanda Seales stirs debate, spits wisdom and smashes the patriarchy BY N I CO L E TTE S H U R B A

rue believer and visionary comedian Amanda Seales maintains a full catalog of skills and achievements. She has a weekly podcast, Small Doses; she is the creator of a live comedy game show, Smart, Funny, and Black; and she plays Tiffany on HBO’s Insecure, to enumerate a few résumé highlights. And now, notably, she’s touring her recent HBO special, I Be Knowin’ – only the second ever HBO stand-up special by a black woman. As she administers the truth together with large doses of innovative comedy – what she calls “edutainment” – to her audiences, it’s impossible to miss Seales’ obvious passion for language (a love cultivated early at Dr. Phillips High School, perhaps?) as well as the necessity of having the receipts. “I just think before I speak, and there aren’t enough folks that I think want to,” Seales reflects in an interview with Orlando Weekly. “We’re also in an era where, unfortunately, a lot of people want to say whatever they want without actually having the facts behind it.” Seales’ hilarious-but-biting declarations on stage aren’t just riffs; they rest on the foundation of her master’s degree in African-American studies from Columbia University. “Words can really move people, words can change people, words can inspire people. So I think it’s incredibly important that the words you say come from a genuine and honest and sincere place, but also an informed place,” she says. Through topics rooted in black culture and black existence, Seales aims to engage and communicate with her audience. One of the most powerful make-you-think moments in I Be Knowin’ comes when Seales proclaims, “No matter what ‘type’ of black person you are, every black experience is a black experience unless it is anti-black. Regardless, we all sing ‘Lift Every Voice and Sing,’ the Negro National Anthem, the same

way.” If you don’t get the chills when she then leads the audience in a sing-along of said anthem, check your pulse – you might be dead. “My goal is, on a basic note, just to introduce perspectives to folks that they may either have forgotten or may never had considered, and then the third part of that is to engage with folks in perspectives that they share that are often not presented so that’s just like giving voice to the voiceless,” Seales says. (She also harnesses “more high school spirit than maybe anybody on the planet Earth; Dr. Phillips is still to this day and for always and will never be less than the best.”) The self-awareness of her comedic influence first dawned on her while Seales was working on VH1’s Best Week Ever with already established comedians such as John Mulaney, Nick Kroll and Mike Britt. “I’ve always been funny … and to be on a show with them and still get airtime and still get jokes included let me know, ‘OK, you’re not too far off.’ So that was like my first awareness, but I didn’t really realize, OK, I was a stand-up comedian, until I found myself being able to just go on stage and not be scared of if I was going to make them laugh,” she remembers. “And that’s not to say that I always make them laugh, but my fear of, ‘Will they find it funny?’ was no longer driving me and that’s when I knew: ‘Oh, this might be what you’re actually supposed to be doing.’” The multi-talented Seales has significant projects on the horizon, and appreciates her newly escalated profile. “I’m looking forward to getting the opportunity to create on a new level of visibility. As somebody who’s been cruising in a DIY space for so long, it’s gonna be nice to have some money and support behind it in a real way, whether it’s something I’m writing for the stage, the screen or music.” arts@orlandoweekly.com

CITYARTS FACTORY REDEDICATION PARTY | PHOTO COURTESY DOWNTOWN ARTS DISTRICT

Over the last 130-odd years, it’s

been known as the Old English Club, the Cosmopolitan Club, Democratic Party headquarters, Mad Cow Theatre, DMAC, and most recently the Gallery at Avalon Island. But on Thursday, March 21, downtown Orlando’s historic Rogers Kiene Building was officially rededicated as the new CityArts Factory, centerpiece of the Downtown Arts District’s ambitious effort to support artists in our city’s central core. Nearly 14 months after property owner Ford Kiene announced he was donating the nationally registered landmark to the City of Orlando, under the stipulation that it be used for cultural purposes though at least 2038, the latest incarnation of CityArts Factory is almost ready for its debut. While the official opening ceremony — led by Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer, Downtown Arts District Board Chair Jim Lussier and Orlando City Commissioners — didn’t occur until later last week, the public was invited inside the freshly refurbished space last Tuesday night for the return of the In-Between Series. Originally established about five years ago by former Gallery at Avalon Island curator Patrick Greene, the In-Between Series was started to take advantage of downtime between regular art exhibits, but it has become a showcase for unconventional musical acts. While we waited for the show to start, curator Chris Belt and I sat next door at the Harp & Celt, where he shared with me his vision for the series over a couple post-St. Paddy’s Day pints of Guinness. “New work, new space, new collaborators. It’s exciting!” says Belt, founder of the Accidental Music Festival and executive director of the Timucua Foundation, who returned to Orlando in 2016 after a threeyear stint in New York. “I wanted to carry on the same basic idea that Pat had, of experimental and improvised challenging

Downtown’s historic Rogers Kiene Building was rededicated as the new CityArts Factory, centerpiece of the Downtown Arts District’s efforts to support artists in our city’s central core

music, but with more of an emphasis on collaboration and new work.” For example, last week’s In-Between session melded electronic music by Elizabeth A. Baker with modern movement from Voci Dance [full disclosure: my wife’s company]. Baker describes herself as “a new renaissance artist,” and Belt says “her work goes beyond being a performer or composer or choreographer or dancer; she does all of these things” in addition to writing books, speaking, and consulting for arts organizations about representation and diversity. Belt says he’s “very excited to have the space back in Orlando’s cultural life,” and after touring the building with DAD executive director Barbara Hartley, it isn’t hard to share the enthusiasm. “It’s been a learning process,” she confided to me in reference to the renovations, which were accomplished with help from Baker Barrios Architects and Austin Commercial. “You have a budget, and what I’ve learned is that the budgets always go over, and the timeframes always go over.” Even so, phase one of the building’s first major refurbishment in 19 years — featuring clean white paint, bright track lighting, and a

general “freshening up” of the facilities — is almost complete, at a cost of $50,000. Phase 2 of CityArts Factory’s rebirth will include redone restrooms, enhanced audiovisual equipment, and a “Creative Café” on the first floor, which is hoped to operate six days a week beginning in early summer. Upstairs, the old risers and heavy window coverings have been demolished, revealing a spacious, modern-looking venue that should start hosting a cinema series and other performances by July. And a proposed third phase (fundraising permitting) would clean up and “activate” the building’s exterior with sound and lighting equipment, transforming an unlovely alleyway into a social gathering spot. Of course, the most important components of the new CityArts Factory are the five gallery spaces, which include two Signature galleries, the Spotlight gallery, Orlando Magic’s Young Artists gallery, and the urbaninspired Redefine gallery, which is currently exhibiting Attachment Hunger with Scott Donald and Sean Hartman. During the spring and summer of 2019, the facility will focus on female curators, including Flynn Dobbs, Wanda Raimundi-Ortiz Klotz, Gisela Carbonell, Sorcha Baty and Rangsook Yoon, who will present a mix of local and national talent. What excites Hartley most are the possibilities presented by the building’s fully furnished apartment, which will host CityArts’ new artists-in-residency program. “September will be our first by-invitation artist-in-residence,” Hartley says, “and then we’ll have a process that we announce next year for people who want to apply.” Chris Seaber, a classically-trained contemporary artist and lecturer from England, whose work is “connecting the east with the west,” according to Hartley, will be the first participant for two or three weeks this fall. CityArts may have a new address, but as Hartley says, “The mission is the same: to grow the arts in downtown. What’s new and exciting is the possibilities of bringing in the artists-in-residence program. I call it an ecosystem; we started out in one place and we’ve grown. I think we’ve served a certain role in bringing art downtown, and now we’re trying to elevate the status of local artists while also bringing in some international artists.” The bottom line for Hartley and her team? “We just want our city to be cool for artists and for visitors.” skubersky@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

TURNING JAPANESE

Susuru’s menu of izakya staples is as brilliant as its dazzling, nostalgia-packed decor BY FAIYAZ KARA

usuru is a manga comic book come to life, but the part where the wideeyed hero takes a break from battling demented robots and scumbag impresarios to enjoy a nice hot meal inside a welcoming izakaya. This one also happens to be “retro-themed,” as you’ll no doubt gather the moment you step inside and gaze at the decor steeped in midcentury Nipponese nostalgia, anime and otherwise. The naughty little imp in you will so badly want to touch the paraphernalia of playthings festooning the wall near the entrance, but you won’t for fear of Astro Boy’s superpower strength, vigilance and incredibly high emotional intelligence, granting him the ability to determine one’s virtuosity or wickedness. So, like a good little boy, you’ll follow the hostess to your table and sit politely beneath the Japanese lanterns and allow yourself to be dazzled by the movieset décor. The interior is fetishization at its finest, and there’s simply no eatery quite like Susuru anywhere in the city. Hell, if Godzilla pulverized the whole restaurant with one stomp of his scaly foot, it would hardly seem out of place. But those fantasies soon give way to reality bites – bites, ironically enough, we continue to fantasize about. Their yakitori drew comparisons to the nibbly bits served

at the Michelin-starred Torishin in New York City, and I don’t know if I’ve ever enjoyed more succulent chicken thighs ($3.50) than the ones served at Susuru (they can’t possibly be done any better, that’s for sure). Those thighs, and other skewered offerings like chicken skin ($3.50), short ribs ($5) and Kurobuta pork-honey sausage ($4), are dipped in aged tare (a sweet soy-based basting sauce) before binchotan coals grace each morsel with a magnificent char. There’s tsukune ($4.50), a tubular ground chicken meatball drizzled with a spicy mentaiko fish roe sauce, as well as a handful of veggies, like Brussels sprouts ($3), all gloriously binchotan-ed. Even elote-like street corn ($6) with togarashi, cotija cheese, nori and yuzu mayo is grilled over those high-quality coals. Mexico gets another nod in the tori senbei ($8) with fried chicken skins supplanting tortilla chips as dipping vessels into a yuzu guacamole.

But you don’t name your restaurant Slurp (it’s what “Susuru” means in Japanese) and not tout your ramens. Of note is the tori paitan ($10), a ramen rarely seen in Orlando, if at all. Chicken bones, cartilage and all, are boiled down for 24 hours after which the broth is reduced to a rich, creamy, tonkotsu-like consistency. And what a gorgeous susuru it makes with slices of chicken chashu, sweetened burdock root tempura, scallions and a shoyu soft egg lending additional heft. The grilled hamachi collar ($12) induced a hypnotic effect that we snapped out of only after picking that yellowtail clean. There are sake-based cocktails served in vessels that’ll have you reaching for your smartphone – most notably the camera-ready Astro Boy mule ($14) made with Bushido sake. There are colorful sake-soaked boba teas ($13) topped with clouds of cotton candy on which kewpie babies recline. It’s all quite strange and ethereal and wonderful, much like the restaurant itself. With all this eye candy, you’d think televisions would be wholly unnecessary, but there they are – three squat, ’70s-era boob tubes by Mitsubishi, Sanyo and Panasonic sitting side by side high up on a shelf. The televisions sit dark, true, but that’s quite okay – everyone here knows Susuru stole the show. fkara@orlandoweekly.com

VERANDA RESTAURANT

The veranda-less Veranda presents Eastern European cuisine from Moldova and Romania, from such peasant staples as mamliga (polenta cakes served with salty cheese crumbles and sour cream) to Ottoman-influenced meat rolls and mince patties. Culinary convergence comes in the form of stuffed cabbage and grape leaves, while the chicken soup is a cure-all bowl of beauty. For the less adventurous, Italian dishes (think pedestrian pastas and pizzas) are also offered. Open daily. 1700 W. Sand Lake Road, 407-730-9190; $$

DOMU CHIBI

Waits can get long at this “quick casual” offshoot of the highly lauded Domu, but you’ll get legit bowls of ramen for under $10. Noodles aren’t made in house (they’re procured from the respected Sun Noodle) as they are at Domu’s flagship, but the broths and bases, like the 18-hour tonkotsu, certainly are. Rice bowls and smaller bites like gyoza and bravas fries are offered too. Open daily. 869 N. Alafaya Trail, 407-7307260; $

MENAGERIE EATERY & BAR

From the folks who brought you the Stubborn Mule and RusTeak comes the Menagerie, an eclectic joint with an equally eclectic menu that criss-crosses international culinary boundaries. You’ll find everything from Taiwanese Night Market chicken to curried cauliflower served with pisco sour relish to fried cod crusted in Frosted Flakes. No, they don’t take things too seriously here. Closed Mondays and Tuesdays. Sunday brunch until 3 p.m. 101 S. Eola Drive, 407-601-5358; $$

THE RAMEN

This humble ramen joint by Suichi Tanida, the former chef at Epcot’s Mitsukoshi Restaurant, gives downtowners a healthy dose of traditional tonkotsu, shoyu and miso ramen. Don’t overlook gratifying donburi rice bowls or takoyaki. A handful of vegan options are offered as well. Closed Sunday. 486 N. Orange Ave., 407-2334801; $$

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. There are 12 dessert options to choose from. 7625 Turkey Lake Road, 407-930-1708; $$$

À LA CART

Inviting Milk District food truck park hosts five food trucks at an open-air pavilion with 15 rotating taps, surrounding a square patch of faux grass that acts as an informal beer garden. Brazilian steak, poke and Viet-Korean fare are offered every day, with Brazilian-style empanadas and SwedeDish’s Scandinavian offerings splitting a fourth spot. A daily rotating vendor keeps things interesting. 609 Irvington Ave., 407-776-4693; $$

STASIO’S ITALIAN DELI

It’s not Eataly, but this Milk District gastronomia sells scores of Old Country finds, from cheeses and pastas to oils and flour. The cold case is chock-full of fresh-made sausages and antipasti, while the hot case showcases everything from stuffed pork chops to chicken San Remo. House-made bread and fresh meats yield superb sandwiches, though don’t overlook strombolis and definitely don’t overlook the pastries – flaky, cream-filled sfogliatelle are outstanding. Closed Sundays. 210 N. Bumby Ave., 407-277-7755; $$

BLENDED CAFÉ BAR

Cavernous College Park café offers a selection of pan-Asian handhelds, namely bao, dumping, pockets and bánh mì. Empanada-like pockets couldn’t be more gratifying, and the bao (filled with everything from lemongrass-teriyaki beef to crispy jackfruit) are undeniable draws. Don’t leave without sampling a bubble waffle and some blended tea. Closed Monday. 2306 Edgewater Drive, 407-8689836; $

INAY’S KITCHEN

The women jockeying the stoves at Inay’s Kitchen deliver a brand-new food experience to those of us not versed in Filipino cooking. Thick, hearty stews are brightened up with expert use of vinegar, and pork and chicken skewers are lacquered with sauce and grilled until the sauce becomes candy – add a third flavor layer with a dip in that vinegar again. The takeoutfriendly Inay’s can be hard to find on a dimly lit road in Ocoee, but persevere; it’s worth the search. 1097 S. Clarke Road, Ocoee, 407-601-2126; $ n

IGNORANCE IS BLISS Amazon’s Hanna reboot is satisfying – as long as you haven’t seen the original BY T HA DDEUS MCCOL LU M

t first glance, Amazon’s new series, Hanna, seems like a prime candidate for binge-watching. Based on the 2011 film by Joe Wright about a teenage girl raised in the woods who finds out that she’s actually the product of a secret super-soldier program, the premise is ripe for exploration in a serial format. But fans of the original film might be left wondering why series creator David Farr, a co-writer of the original screenplay, left out all the good stuff. The new cast mostly outshines the principal leads of the film. In the titular role, newcomer Esme Creed-Miles, taking over from Saoirse Ronan, gets more time to explore the inner workings of a teenager who’s been kept away from modernity for most of her life, inhabiting the role more fully. Joel Kinnaman (The Killing, Altered

Carbon) fills in for Eric Bana as Erik Heller, Hanna’s foster father who raises her in the woods and seeks to secure her safety by any means necessary. Kinnaman leans into the moral ambiguity of his character, being both villainous and paternal in the same scene. Kinnaman’s former co-lead on The Killing, Mireille Enos, steps into the shoes of Cate Blanchett as the main antagonist, Marissa Wiegler, but even though Enos brings a humanity that Blanchett’s performance eschewed, she can’t make the role her own in the same way that Blanchett did. Part of the reason that Enos doesn’t live up to Blanchett is tied in with the other problems the show exhibits in its interpretation of Hanna. Wright’s film was suffused with a fairytale-like otherworldliness. In the world of the film, Marissa is associated

with the big, bad wolf or a wicked witch, both thematically and visually. In humanizing the character, the show loses a lot of what made the role memorable. Also gone are references to Hansel and Gretel, the Pied Piper, the Three Little Pigs and more. The saving grace of the series is the amount of time devoted to Hanna’s exploration of the “real world.” While on the run, she makes friends with Sophie (Rhianne Barreto), a somewhat self-centered British teen (so just a normal teen, then) on holiday with her family. The two become fast friends, just as in the film, but Hanna is given more time to spend with Sophie and her family, seeing exactly what she’s been missing – the good and the bad – by not having a “normal life.” If the series is renewed, and it’s a safe bet it will be, we expect to see more development of this relationship, and that’s a good thing. Though the series is stripped of several elements that made Hanna fun in the first place, what’s left is a pretty decent European espionage chase plot mixed with some solid teen drama, something like The Bourne Identity meets Skins. It does succeed in expanding on the mythology of the show to create a viable future, and it’ll be one worth keeping an eye on. But fans of the original are going to be left wondering how good it could have been. tmccollum@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

Eva Green in Dumbo PHOTO COURTESY OF WALT DISNEY PICTURES

BY ST EVE SCHN EID ER

OPENING THIS WEEK: Dumbo I don’t know what it is with these live-action remakes of two-dimensional cartoons. Beauty and the Beast. The Lion King. Your second marriage. I mean, leave well enough alone, right? This time, it’s Tim Burton revisiting that which should remain untouched, namely Disney’s classic 1941 plea for tolerance of the different and kindness toward animals. And boy, it says something about how unnecessary a project is when you can think of passing on a film that features the great Eva Green and Alan Arkin and a miniature Batman Returns reunion. (Michael Keaton and Danny DeVito, together again.) But this is how we live now. (PG) Hotel Mumbai Where you go when they’re full up at the Hotel Rwanda? Not necessarily, if you’re expecting another “message picture” from this depiction of the 2008 terrorist attack on the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel. The Hollywood Reporter says the unflinching but context-free film raises questions, all right – chiefly, “Why am I sitting through this?” But you’ve got to respect a movie that’s willing to tackle those tough issues. (R) The Mustang A new inmate at a Nevada state prison learns to manage his anger issues by taming wild horses. In the alternate universe I choose to live in, this is what happened to Ann Romney. (R)

ALSO PLAYING: Cruel Intentions 20th Anniversary Just think, it was only 20 years ago that Reese Witherspoon was more believable as an

innocent virgin than as a drunken fishwife who likes to tell off cops. We’ve all grown so much! (R; playing at Regal Winter Park Village Stadium 20 & RPX, Regal Waterford Lakes Stadium 20 & IMAX and Regal Oviedo Mall Stadium 22) Giant Little Ones A teenager is falsely accused of being gay – an experience that may or may not repair his relationship with his father (Kyle MacLachlan), who left the boy’s mother (Maria Bello) for a dude. Jesus, would everybody just put on Drag Race and do a bong rip. (R; playing at Regal Winter Park Village Stadium 20 & RPX) Kesari The Sikh Regiment of the British Army faces off against Afghani tribesmen in a historical epic that enjoyed the best opening weekend of the year back home in India. Of course, that’s all going to change with the release of Jawaharlal Nehru: Endgame. (NR; in Hindi; playing at Universal Cinemark at CityWalk and AMC West Oaks 14) The Wedding Guest The great Michael Winterbottom directed this story about a kidnapper (Dev Patel) who abducts a woman from her wedding at the behest of the man who can’t let her go. Patel is also on screens this week as a valiant waiter who helps defend the guests of the Hotel Mumbai from their terrorist attackers. Between going that extra mile and the whole willing-to-kidnap-a-bride thing, this is really the guy you want at your reception. Bet he does one hell of a chicken dance, too.

HEARTSTRING HIGHWAYS

Avant-harpist Mary Lattimore hits the open road with Messthetics BY MATTHEW MOYER

hen Mary Lattimore first played the City Beautiful, the harpist soothed the savage beasts that are True Widow fans with an opening set of ethereal, beguiling, challenging instrumentals plucked out on a massive harp and fed through pedals and effects. Orlando Weekly has seen a lot of live music over the years, but the incongruity of witnessing this in the company of a hoard of devotees of the doomy shoegaze of True Widow was nothing less than surreal. And yet, in about five minutes, disbelief melted away as the audience stood rapt and spellbound. For Mary Lattimore, this was just another gig. She’s taken her harp and her songs out of the art-music world and fearlessly into the rock club circuit with unfettered optimism. “Generally, with clubs I’ll be the first harpist who’s ever played there,” she says. “I’m kind of teaching them, I guess. … But people are open.” Since that True Widow tour in 2016,

she’s racked up miles traveling alongside indie rockers Parquet Courts, Danish punks Iceage, and drone metal legend Dylan Carlson (Earth), and now she’s on a run of dates opening for the Messthetics, instrumental jammers boasting ex-members of the legendary Fugazi. She relishes the challenge. “I feel like the more different the pairing is,” says Lattimore, “the more likely people are to be curious and quiet.” Lattimore has been on the road fairly non-stop the last couple of years, with 2019 providing no respite. But the nomadic life of a touring musician agrees with her. “I’ve worked some crappy day jobs that made me really depressed and sad,” she says. “So I definitely prefer driving down to Florida, just me and my harp, with the window rolled down instead of working in an office all day.” Lattimore travels alone, driving from gig to gig with just her harp and a selection of “murderous” podcasts and audiobooks for company. She speaks of her harp less as a

tool and more as a traveling companion, at one point exclaiming, “How am I going to sleep [on tour] if the harp is in the car and I’m feeling guilty about it the whole time?” During our conversation, Lattimore remarks that “it’s cool to be able to skate between these worlds,” referring to the seeming opposites of the “serious” experimental music world and the rock world. But even the most cursory of glances at her performing CV attests to the fact that few have done it as deftly as her. Since she starting making music in 2013, she’s performed and collaborated with everyone from Thurston Moore to Jarvis Cocker, from Ed Askew to Sharon Van Etten. She’s soundtracked experimental films and provided accompaniment to artist Nick Cave’s soundsuits in New York. In 2014, she was awarded a Pew Fellowship and used the time and funds to road-trip West and record and release the stunning At the Dam album on indie tastemakers Ghostly International. This is a music career very much on her terms. And these terms often revolve around the joys of collaboration, be it recorded or on stage. She likens collaborating with friends to a “conversation,” and enthuses about recent and upcoming work with Meg Baird (Espers), Steve Moore (Zombi), and Superchunk’s Mac McCaughan, with whom she is about to release a record and tour. The alliance with McCaughan is particularly fullcircle for Lattimore. “Mac and I met when I was a little nerdy intern at Merge Records a long time ago,” she laughs. “He’s doing synths – like a mad-scientist synth arsenal that he’s experimenting with and I’m playing harp.” Her enthusiasm for these musical conversations found their fullest fruit in January’s digital release of a remix album of the songs from last year’s Hundreds of Days LP done by musical comrades far and wide. “Getting the remixes was almost like hearing your friends react to your song,” Lattimore enthuses. “And hearing them manipulate it is like a window into their brain.” Mary Lattimore drops into town ever so briefly with the Messthetics on Wednesday, so catch up with this restless artist while you can. Soon enough she’ll be far down the road, on to the next city, the next stage. mmoyer@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

Sadly, the RIPs keep coming.

And goddamn, this time it’s a local legend: DJ D-Xtreme (aka Derek Steplight). While clubs like the Edge and Firestone and names like DJ Icey and Kimball Collins got the lion’s share of the international spotlight during Orlando’s heyday as a world EDM capital in the 1990s, cats like D-Xtreme and bassbin twin DJ Stylus were the undisputed kings of the city’s deep breaks underground with their scene-defining all-night residencies at the iconic Abyss. In fact, D-Extreme was featured on the star-studded lineup of the big scene revival party Devotion just last month. Unfortunately, news came down last week of his shocking passing. Rest in rhythm, Derek. Thank you for the beats.

THE SH-BOOMS ALBUM RELEASE, WILL’S PUB, MARCH 22

But on to an uplifting local story. I love how the career of the Sh-Booms has been unfolding. The emerging native soul syndicate are one of the biggest Orlando stories this year with the major buzz campaign for their new album, The Blurred Odyssey, which finally released last Friday on excellent Miami indie label Limited Fanfare Records (home to notable acts like the Ettes, Astronautalis & Rickolus, Heavy Drag, Lil Daggers, etc.). Though the media campaign’s been going on these past few months, the story of the band’s positioning has been years in the making. It’s been gradual but methodical. Now the Sh-Booms are on the most significant threshold of their

The Sh-Booms’ whole shebang has led up to this moment. Where it leads, we’ll see. But the band has the long view and a whole scene is rooting for them career. And it’s with an album that’s the crystallization of where they’ve been headed all this time. First, it’s a good record, a really good one. It’s a vivid document of that symmetry of gut and soul that the Sh-Booms have been honing for years. Moreover, it’s come on the heels of one of the most impressive national rollouts seen from a local band in a very long time. Leading up to the full release, singles from it have been premiered prominently on major outlets like Flood Magazine (“Audible”) and Little Steven’s Underground Garage (“Leon the Hustler”). It’s been the kind of unveiling usually seen only for national acts. And it’s awfully nice to see a local band conducting themselves like one. The Orlando release party launched their headlining tour with a big hometown boost, a packed house that was electric with excitement and local pride. The Sh-Booms’ whole shebang has led up to this moment. Where it leads, we’ll see. Let’s not overstate the guarantee of a few national sparks, however auspicious.

There’s still a whole lot of hustle to do, so this is just the beginning for them. But as the past few years have proven, the Sh-Booms have the long view and are good for the grind. And a whole scene is rooting for them.

NEW-LOOK WILL’S PUB

Speaking of big local revelations, the fresh look of Will’s Pub just debuted last week and it’s so dramatic that it’s like being in a completely new spot. We’re not talking about a fresh coat of paint or new light fixtures or some shit like that. This is a reshuffle of space and function so total and defining that it will be a shock. Basically, the only room that’s unchanged in essence is the music room. Other than that, it’s a complete reconfiguration that’s brought the bar nucleus up to the front room where it probably should’ve been all along. The back room is now, well, a back room, a relief lounge with a small bar where you can still see the stage with the comfort of some space, no doubt destined to become the spot where all the pros will hang in packed-out situations. Regulars will be disoriented for months, but the major Will’s Pub revamp is done well and with great logic. Remember the local outrage when the Pub went nonsmoking? It was like Orlando’s own Y2K, anticipated with apocalyptic hysteria but quickly gotten over. And the ultimate result was much better. This will be the same because, all told, it’s a whole new world of energy and sightlines featuring more of both than before. Go see for yourselves. baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

Festival of Fine Arts and Flowers ART

Step into springtime as flowers bloom in the Orlando Museum of Art. This floral festival is a museum-wide showcase of fresh paintings, alluring flower arrangements and antique dealers, kicking off Thursday night with a ’60s-inspired “Flower Power” party. During regular museum hours, attendees can see grand floral designs and constructions inspired by art on display nearby. You can also shop for fresh take-home plants and blossoms, or enjoy the Council of 101’s tea room, serving iced tea, desserts and wine. Separately ticketed events include antique appraisals à la Antiques Roadshow, floral art workshops, a mystery home tour, and a lecture and book signing with James Farmer. – Sarah Cavacini 6:30 p.m. Thursday, 10 a.m. Friday-Saturday, 11 a.m. Sunday | Orlando Museum of Art, 2416 N. Mills Ave. | 407-896-4231 | omart.org | $15-$125

PHOTO BY DAN EFRAM

For 20 years, the gyspy-rock band Gogol Bordello – a rock & roll collective of immigrants from Ukraine, Ecuador, Russia and Ethiopia (and more if you include former band members) have toured the globe in relentless fashion, declaring their niche style of international-primed punk rock (that incorporates a slew of instruments like the accordion and violin) to hundreds of thousands upon thousands of fans in that same span of time. Now, with at least seven studio albums to their name, as well as a number of other one-off projects, they’re stopping by the City Beautiful in the able company of Nu Folk Rebel Alliance. – Xander Peters

Shredder 1984 MUSIC

You can debate amongst yourselves whether Shredder 1984’s name refers more to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles villain or the 1980s slang for a virtuosic metal guitar player, but it’s definitely both. The Franco-American synthwave up-and-comer spent a decade in the metal scene before turning to synths and ’80s nostalgia a few years ago. His latest album, last year’s Nemesis (out on the preciously named label Lazerdiscs Records), has been hailed as a watershed moment in the evolution of the “dark synth” subgenre. And for his live shows, Shredder keeps things interesting with a little shredding of his own on guitar. – Thaddeus McCollum

Plack Blague MUSIC

Nebraska’s sado industrial project Plack Blague is 100 percent a one-off. Fronted by an out-and-proud singer dressed and masked head to toe in leather and studs, dancing and howling amidst strobe lights to undeniable dark-disco beats, this is musical performance as exhilarating spectacle. Orlando Weekly caught the Blague opening for Adult. last year and we were floored. A more effective combination of Tom of Finland and Scorpio Rising aesthetics, with Suicide’s unhinged motorcycle menace (and a beat you can dance to), we have yet to see. Also joining in on the transgressive fun is Chicago’s Visceral Anatomy (made up of the same personnel as darkwave duo Wingtips, who impressed us during a gig over the holidays). Rev up. – Matthew Moyer with Visceral Anatomy | 9 p.m. | Stonewall Bar, 741 W. Church St. | 407-373-0888 | stonewallorlando.com | $8

Aurelio Voltaire MUSIC

PHOTO BY SVETLANA KOVALENKO

He may look like a Hot Topic come to life, or an overzealous What We Do in the Shadows cosplayer, but one listen to Aurelio Voltaire dispels any notion that this is a man who takes himself too seriously. Since the late ’90s, the cult performer has traded in gothy cabaret and rock that’s more biting wit than biting necks. He’s been a hit on the convention circuit due to his pronounced love of geek culture, including his 2012 attempt to unite the Star Wars and Star Trek fandoms, the concept album BiTrektual. For those who want to get with the aesthetic, Voltaire hosts a series of “Gothic Homemaking” how-to vids on his YouTube channel, “The Lair of Voltaire.” – TM 10 p.m. | Soundbar, 37 W. Pine St. | soundbarorl.com | $12-$15

Poca’s Hottest Sauce Cook-Off EVENTS

They say there are two kinds of people in the world: those who can handle spicy foods and those who can’t. For those of you with a tongue of steel, this event will put your taste buds to the test as 20 cooks attempt to make their tastiest dish that incorporates one or more of local lady boss Wendy Davis’ popular sauces. The VIP tasting tickets do sell out quickly though, so grab them while they’re … ahem … hot. Beth McKee’s Swamp Sistas, the Absinthe Jazz Trio, Anthony Cole and Jessy Lynn Martens provide a live soundtrack outside, while the freshly spring-cleaned interior of Will’s Pub gives you an opportunity to cool down. – Elizabeth Gondar 2-9 p.m. | Will’s Pub, 1042. N. Mills Ave. | willspub.org | $15-$35

Smokey and the Bandit Popcorn Flicks in the Park: Smokey and the Bandit The City of Winter Park and Enzian team up for a screening of one of Burt Reynolds’ most popular movies this week. Smokey and the Bandit tells the story of a charismatic truck driver, the titular Bandit, leading a convoy of trucks to deliver beer to a race and win a bet. Public drinking is frowned upon at these family-friendly outdoor screenings, but there’s no law that says you can’t chug a sixer of Coors in your car before you find a spot to watch the movie. Wait, no, there is a law against that. Don’t do that. 8 p.m. Thursday; Central Park, North Park Avenue and West Morse Boulevard, Winter Park; free; enzian.org.

Putt ’n Pints Most people can agree that miniature golf is far superior to the full sized version. And at this weekend’s Putt ’n Pints, you can grab a drink at every hole, not just whenever the beer cart happens to get to you. Participating venues set up nine different minigolf holes on their property, while you wander to each one, getting your first two drinks for free and subsequent ones for $3 a piece. Do well enough and you can qualify for a $10,000 putting competition. 4-7 p.m. Saturday; Casey’s on Central, 50 E. Central Blvd.; $20$30; orlandopubcrawl.com.

MARCH 27-APRIL 2, 2019 ● ORLANDO WEEKLY

B Y DA N S AVAG E

Savage Love Live stormed into Revolution Hall in Portland, Oregon. Comedian Corina Lucas absolutely killed it before our sold-out crowd, singer-songwriter Elisabeth PixleyFink performed an amazing set, and two lovely couples competed in our first (and most likely last) Mama Bird Cupcake Eating Contest. I wasn’t able to get to all of the audience-submitted questions, so I’m going to power through as many as I can in this week’s column. How do you handle it if your partner constantly apologizes during sex? “Sorry, sorry, sorry …” With sensitivity, tact, and compassion – and if none of that shit works, try duct tape. Should I continue to have casual sex with someone I’m in love with? If it’s casual for them and not casual for you, and they’ve made it clear it will never be anything other than casual for them, you’re going to get hurt – which I suspect you know. Now, if you think the pain of going without sex with them will be greater than the pain you’ll feel when they inevitably meet someone else and move on, by all means keep fucking them. (Spoiler: the pain of the latter > the pain of the former.) Best tricks for a quick female orgasm & how to keep yourself from overthinking it? My female friends swear by a little legal weed, where available (or a little illegal weed, where necessary), and a nice, big, powerful vibrator. My five-year relationship ended abruptly. Is there a time frame for getting over it? Studies vary. Some have found it takes the average person 11 weeks, some have found it takes half the length of the relationship itself, some have found it takes longer if it was a marriage that ended. But don’t wait until you’re completely over it to get out there – because getting out there can help you get over it. Besides a fiber-rich diet, what are your tips for a newbie to anal play? Size is a BIG factor and it’s creating a HUGE mental block whenever anything goes near my hole. Start small, e.g., lubed-up fingers and small toys. And don’t graduate from tongues/fingers/toys to someone’s big ol’ dick in a single session. Start small and stay small until your hole’s dread at the thought of taking something HUGE is replaced by a sincerely held, quasi-religious belief in the absolute necessity of taking something huge.

What is the formula for getting comfortable farting in front of a partner? Same as comedy: tragedy + time. In the era of online dating, how do you navigate the people who think the grass will always be greener and have difficulty committing to truly building a relationship? The expression “the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence” has its roots in a Latin proverb first translated into English in 1545 – which means the sentiment predates dating apps by, oh, roughly half a millennium. But the “paradox of choice,” or the idea that people have a hard time choosing when presented with too many options, has certainly complicated modern dating. But too many options beats too few, in my opinion, and it certainly beats no options at all, e.g., deserted islands, compulsory heterosexuality, unhappy arranged marriages, etc. Any advice for a 22-year-old woman who meets only sad boys who need a mom? Your handwriting is such that I thought you wrote “sub boys,” and I was going to respond, “Enjoy.” But then I reread your question: sad boys, not sub boys. Okay, if you’re meeting only one type of person or all the people you’re meeting have a certain character flaw, either you’re seeking that type of person out – consciously or subconsciously – or you’re projecting your own shit onto that person. This is a case where the best people to ask for a gut/reality check are your actual friends, not your friendly sexadvice columnist. How good are cock rings? I tried a stretch rubber one, and it was just uncomfortable. Is it worth more time and research? Cock rings are made from all sorts of different materials, and it’s important to find the material (rubber, metal, leather) and fit (snug but not too tight) that works for you. I definitely think you should experiment a bit before giving up – cock rings are great. And, hey, did you know there’s a Wiki page with a lot of good info about cock rings? (wikipedia.org/wiki/cock_ring) Will you be my sperm donor? Well, that depends. Are you male, between the ages of 25 and 55, and (my entirely subjective notion about what is) hot? Then sure! My partner wants me to move in with him and have kids. He also wants an open relationship and to be able to father children for other women if they choose to be single moms. I’m not comfortable with that. How can I express this without blocking him from

ORLANDO WEEKLY ● MARCH 27-APRIL 2, 2019 ● orlandoweekly.com

“ R E VO L U T I O N H A L L”

getting what he wants? By not moving in with him, by not having kids with him, and by not continuing to partner with him. Why wasn’t semen designed to stay in a woman’s vagina? It always makes a terrible mess. I hate waiting for it to leak out of me. I wasn’t around when semen and vaginas were designed – I’m old, but not that old – and I’m pretty sure they didn’t have a designer. I’m also guessing leakage wasn’t a problem until our ancestors began walking upright about four million years ago. My mother-in-law had episodes of amnesia after orgasm in her 50s. Have you heard of this? WILL IT HAPPEN TO ME? I have not! I HAVE NO IDEA! I have also googled this for you, and – holy shit – it’s a thing and it has a name: transient global amnesia (TGA). Apparently, any form of strenuous exercise can trigger TGA. So don’t fuck, don’t run, don’t bike! Just sit still and you’ll be fine! What do you think is the most needed focus of left activism in the United States today? Most needed: defeating Trump and combating climate change. Most prevalent: relitigating the 2016 Democratic primary. My mom finishes every call with “God bless you.” I’m not a believer, but it’s not something we could ever talk about. I usually ignore it, sometimes I say it back, but it’s always awkward. What should I do? You should sneeze. Thanks to everyone who came out to Savage Love Live in Portland! Savage Love Live is coming to Seattle, Denver, San Francisco (with Stormy Daniels!), Chicago, Madison, Minneapolis (also with Stormy Daniels!), Toronto, and Somerville.
