Readers react to stories from last week’s issue. Last Thursday, Florida House Speaker José Oliva called pregnant women “host bodies” during a sit-down with Jim DeFede of CBS Miami about an anti-abortion bill. It wasn’t a simple slip of the tongue – Oliva, R-Miami Lakes, referred to pregnant women as “host bodies” five times throughout the interview. @Whitney Fish Florida’s backward government views on reproductive health were definitely a factor in me moving as far away as possible. @Jenn Creighton “What is the limit to which we are going to give one person complete power over the life of another?” Pretty sure that’s a “power” given by nature to the body that’s gestating another potential body but OK sir, let’s pretend that’s something that you or the government can “give.” @Iris Harkonen Is that what he calls his mother!?
State Reps. Carlos Guillermo Smith, D-Orlando, and Michael Grieco, D-Miami Beach, filed HB 1117 last week. The bill would legalize recreational marijuana in Florida for adults 21 and over. @Jill Coram I live in Colorado and work in the cannabis industry. This will create so many jobs. @Johnny Hurst As a Republican … hallelujah! I guess all you simple-minded Democrats think Republicans in general are against it? Think again. Almost everyone I know smokes. Some for medical purposes of course. You may wanna actually look at who has been advocating this since the ’60s. @Bhakti Karen Langlois About time.

FBI releases the ballistics report from the Pulse shootings, Florida lawmakers file a bill to legalize recreational marijuana, and other news you may have missed last week. »
Brightline-Virgin requests another $950 million in bonds for Orlando-West Palm Beach expansion: Brightline has asked to issue another $950 million in tax-exempt bonds. But a lobbyist for Indian River County, which continues to file legal challenges against the rail, also briefly outlined objections of the Treasure Coast community where the trains will run without a stop on existing freight lines. The county’s lawsuit challenges having to pay for maintenance upgrades to crossings on the Florida East Coast Railway corridor that will be used by Brightline. The county argues that Brightline is not a party to its maintenance agreement with the railway.

FBI releases ballistics report on Pulse nightclub shooting: The report shows the FBI was unable to determine the source of some bullets found in victims. These fragments lacked identifiable marks, neither matching the gunman’s firearms nor law enforcement’s. Due to “a lack of sufficient corresponding microscopic marks of value,” no conclusion could be reached as to whether several of the more than 900 items included in the evidence were “fired from the same barrel(s) or the barrel of the Item 1 pistol,” the report says. It lists Item 1 as a “Glock pistol,” one of the mass shooter’s weapons. Included in the evidence were roughly 80 bullets and metal fragments found in 32 victims.

UCF postpones discussion on $600K settlement for former President Dale Whittaker: Amid a Florida House investigation into UCF’s misuse of public funds, the university’s Board of Trustees has postponed a meeting on a proposed $600,000 settlement with former President Dale Whittaker. The committee previously released deposition transcripts from current and former university officials, including Whittaker, that pertain to the ongoing investigation into the university’s misuse of $38 million in operational funds for the construction of Trevor Colbourn Hall. Testimony shows that Whittaker was aware of the use of funds. He denies any violations.

Florida lawmakers file bill to legalize recreational marijuana for adults 21 and over: Filed by state Reps. Carlos Guillermo Smith and Michael Grieco, the proposal allows people 21 years old and above to “use, possess and transport” up to 2.5 ounces of marijuana and have marijuana accessories. It would also allow people to possess, grow and cultivate up to six plants, including seedlings. The representatives say the measure will create a path toward legalization and a structure for its sale and taxation.

Orlando lawmakers push for rent controls to combat affordable housing crisis: Filed by state Rep. Anna Eskamani and state Sen. Victor Torres, the measure would repeal Florida’s pre-emption on rent control, which caps the amount a property owner can charge for rent or limits increases at a rate higher than a predetermined percentage. Florida law allows municipalities to consider rent control if there’s a housing emergency that’s a “serious menace to the general public.” However, state law allows the rent control to exist for just a year – it can’t be extended or renewed. The bill would remove the section that requires rent controls to expire after a year. orlandoweekly.com

THE RED SCARE
Trump can’t win. He can only hope the other guy loses. You’re going to hear the S-word a lot. BY J EFFREY C. BI L L M A N
Close your eyes and imagine a modern Achilles’ heel. The second was that there wasn’t much Republican uttering these words: “Because I am a businessman … the doctrinaires of the opposition have attacked me as an opponent of liberalism. But I was a liberal before many of these men had heard the word. … I believe that the forces of free enterprise must be regulated. I am opposed to business monopolies. I believe in collective bargaining, by representatives of labor’s own free choice, without any interference and in full protection of those obvious rights. I believe in the maintenance of minimum standards for wages and of maximum standards for hours. I believe that such standards should constantly improve. I believe in the federal regulation of interstate utilities, of securities markets, and of banking. I believe in federal pensions, in adequate old age benefits, and in unemployment allowances.” That was indeed a Republican, though not a modern one: Wendell Willkie, the GOP’s presidential candidate in 1940 and the first political naïf to win a major party’s nomination. He shares some DNA with Donald Trump, naïf No. 2. Both were well-known businessmen running amid a lackluster economic recovery. Both were philandering, egotistical former Democrats. But that’s where the similarities end. Willkie, for starters, opposed racial and religious bigotry and welcomed immigrants. He also thought the country was too reliant on one man – President Franklin Roosevelt – rather than boasting that he alone could fix the nation’s ills. For two reasons, Willkie never had a chance against FDR. The first, of course, was the budding war in Europe, which made his foreign policy inexperience an
daylight between the men, either on the German menace (though both turned, somewhat disingenuously, toward noninterventionism as the election neared) or on the New Deal’s social programs. Willkie simply claimed he could run those programs more effectively. He offered more of an echo than a choice. It wasn’t a convincing argument. Here’s the point: Willkie, the conservative in an election 80 years ago, was an avowed liberal who backed unions, social security, unemployment benefits, and regulating banks and big business. Or, in the contemporary GOP vernacular, a radical socialist. Sure, the parties have changed since then. Democrats lost Southern segregationists and social conservatives; Republicans made them their base. Republicans lost Northern liberals, urban intellectuals and minorities; Democrats made them their base. Our national politics have changed, too. Barry Goldwater dragged the Republicans rightward. Ronald Reagan’s success did the same for the Democrats. It was only in the wake of the Great Recession that leftists began to regain a foothold in Democratic politics. I thought about Willkie’s speech while watching Trump’s long, rambling address to the CPAC conference on Friday, in which he hugged a flag, called the investigations into his campaign “bullshit,” mocked Jeff Sessions’ accent, talked about meeting a general named “Raisin Cain” and said that Central American parents were loading up their daughters with “massive amounts of birth control” because they’d be raped by human traffickers. (He knows that’s not how birth control works, right?)
More important, Trump also cast himself as the only thing standing between America and an on-themarch “socialist nightmare,” parroting days of ominous fulminations from conservatives about how Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the Green New Deal are coming for your cars and your cows and your freedom. This is an old playbook, of course. Republicans called Barack Obama a socialist, and Hillary Clinton a socialist, and every Democrat to the left of Herbert Hoover a socialist. It became an everyday epithet over a quarter-century and lost its luster. But with a few prominent Democrats claiming that mantle – and many older Americans conflating democratic socialism and Soviet-style communism – the GOP sees an opening to bring it back. This is what the next 20 months will look like, no matter whom the Democrats nominate. Trump is not popular. He never will be. He can’t win; polls show that only four in 10 voters say they’ll definitely or probably vote for him. No, he needs the other guy to lose. So he’ll drag them into his gutter, make them as reviled as he is. Whether he faces Bernie Sanders or Joe Biden, Kamala Harris or Amy Klobuchar – whether that candidate wants Medicare for All or merely to preserve the Affordable Care Act, to implement the Green New Deal or simply treat climate change like the existential threat it is – is irrelevant. In Trump’s telling, they’ll become an avatar for the “radical left,” for open borders and anti-cop riots, for a socialist takeover of the free market on behalf of the environment, for literal infanticide and handouts to (cough black cough) layabouts. And they’ll all have some childish taunt of a nickname, à la Pocahontas. That’s all Trump knows how to do. This should be freeing: Democrats can pick the candidate who inspires them, who best speaks to their values, who can take a punch and return one in kind, and not worry about gaming the politics. It’ll be ugly no matter what. This, too, should be freeing: As hard as Trump will work to paint Democrats as the second coming of Marx, Republicans are actually on the fringe. According to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, 56 percent of registered voters said Democrats were in the mainstream on climate change and health care policy, and 51 percent on abortion; for Republicans, just 29 percent, 41 percent, and 38 percent, respectively. In other words, even with Bernie and AOC and Elizabeth Warren making headlines for aggressively progressive positions, and even with pundits furiously chin-stroking about whether the Democrats are going too far left, most Americans think the Republicans are the extremists. As it turns out, the American public in 2019 is much more like Wendell Willkie than Donald Trump.

BAD BLOOD UCF isn’t the only school breaking funding rules for new buildings, as Florida lawmakers reduce budgets year after year. So why is the Legislature so focused on punishing UCF? BY MON IVETTE COR D EI R O A N D J OEY R OU L ET TE
T
he University of Central Florida thought state lawmakers would be sated with last week’s ritual sacrifice of President Dale Whittaker. They were wrong. Whittaker convinced the Board of Trustees this was the only way to get past investigations into the university’s illegal misdirection of $85 million in leftover operating funds, which were used to build a $38 million replacement for a decrepit academic building known as Trevor Colbourn Hall. In a letter, he told the board that it had been “made clear” to him that, without his resignation, UCF would face ongoing recriminations from state leaders. “I offered my resignation as a way to end punitive measures and threats, and restore normalcy to a healthy relationship,” said Whittaker, who took over the position from retiring President John Hitt about eight months ago. “Florida needs a UCF that serves our students and community without fear of what the future may bring.” During 90 minutes of emotional speeches, tears and effusive praise at a Feb. 21 board meeting, some trustees fought the alleged injustice of Whittaker’s resig-
nation. His wife, Mary Whittaker, said threats were made to her husband and the school. “In my eyes it seems that the state legislature is acting as a bully to force its agenda,” Whittaker’s daughter, Erin Whittaker, told the board. “To what end are you willing to allow this bullying to continue?” But the board accepted Whittaker’s decision to take the fall, hoping it would “heal new wounds.” “It’s a tragedy for UCF that we’re losing him,” chairman Robert Garvey said. “His personal sacrifice, willingness to subordinate his own interests for the long-term interests of this institution are a credit to his character.” The potential consequences of not accepting Whittaker’s resignation went mostly unsaid – except by Universal Parks and Resorts chief administrative officer John Sprouls, who voted against letting Whittaker resign, saying, “If by this vote it means I should no longer be on the Board of Trustees, I’d be happy to have that conversation.” For a moment, the bloodshed seemed to be over. But multiple investigations con-

tinue into what the school did, despite UCF paying back the money and claims that other state universities committed the same offense after years of steep budget cuts. Even though no one personally profited from building the 137,000-square-foot Trevor Colbourn Hall, state officials are hell-bent on showing universities what happens when you challenge their legislative financial authority – and they’ll make sure everyone and anyone responsible pays a price. The vendetta against UCF seemingly held by lawmakers is similar to the grudges they hold against local governments, argues Rep. Anna Eskamani, D-Orlando. “I can’t help but make the connection to the vitriol UCF has faced as it relates to cities – especially those progressive havens with energy goals, efforts to protect immigrants and LGBTQ protections,” she says. “The Legislature always makes an effort to pre-empt home rule. They’re painting a picture of universities as villains, and it’s the same type of attitude they take with local government. It’s an exhibit of control.”
Whittaker hasn’t been the
scandal’s only casualty. Board of Trustees chairman Marcos Marchena resigned and four university administrators have been fired since the issue with Trevor Colbourn Hall first arose last summer. That’s when the state auditor general’s office discovered that UCF had budgeted $38 million to replace one of the campus’ oldest buildings after problems with mold and structural issues led officials to deem it a public hazard. But the money came orlandoweekly.com

from leftover operating funds, which are prohibited from being used to fund new construction. State policy restricts their use to instruction, research, libraries, student services or maintenance. In September, UCF officials admitted to the misuse of funds to the state Board of Governors, which oversees public universities in Florida. Whittaker terminated four employees after UCF hired a law firm to investigate. UCF chief financial officer Bill Merck resigned, accepting “full and immediate responsibility” for the improper funding. But transcripts from his deposition with Florida House investigators reveal how he really felt. “I think the chairman and the president felt a need to show action in response to the things … and they wanted to, for lack of a better term, to produce some scalps to show,” Merck testified, adding that Whittaker’s snap decision to ax four employees was meant to shift attention away from the possibility of blame falling on himself. “And these four people were on the receiving end of that unfairly,” Merck said. Whittaker suggested he resign. “And that was it, the end of a 22-year stint at UCF. Plastic bag in my hand with pictures of my wife,” Merck testified. “It was – it was pretty brutal.” A subsequent investigation by the Florida House Public Integrity and Ethics Committee found that UCF had a “multiyear strategy” to misdirect nearly $85 million in leftover operating funds from 2013 through 2018, including the $38 million for Trevor Colbourn Hall. The UCF investigation found that Whittaker, the university’s provost from 2014 to 2018, knew leftover operating dollars were being used to build a new Trevor Colbourn Hall, but he didn’t know of the prohibition against it. The president and Merck were stripped of tens of thousands of dollars in bonuses as a result. Whittaker, Merck, Marchena and Hitt were subpoenaed to testify before the House committee led by Rep. Tom Leek, R-Ormond Beach. Leek says his committee’s final report on the UCF investigation will be done in about two to three weeks, and it’s expected to reveal more fund misdirection and detail the infighting that led to Whittaker’s resignation. Hitt has so far refused to give any testimony and has only offered written responses. The probe has consumed a tremendous amount of resources, so investigations into funding misuse by other universities have not started. Politico reported last week that the House committee flagged 23 university building projects amounting to

NEWS more than $252 million in the 2018 budget that may have been funded with leftover operating funds at multiple schools. Asked about the dwindling state funds that may have caused some schools to improperly use leftover operating funds, Leek says UCF still broke the law. The Legislature’s Public Education Capital Outlay, commonly known as PECO, funds construction and maintenance projects at public universities, colleges and K-12 school districts. The Orlando Sentinel reports PECO funding declined to a low of $73.5 million in 2012 after the recession, despite growing enrollment. In 2018, Florida lawmakers approved $487 million in PECO funding, with the 12-university system receiving $112 million in individual projects and $47 million in maintenance funds. “You have to work within the system you’ve got,” he says. “They constructed a building instead of conducting maintenance all those years. … UCF has plenty of money to do everything they need to do lawfully, they just didn’t want to do that.” Aubrey Jewett, an associate professor of political science at UCF, said the Legislature is “somewhat responsible” for the mess. “They did not provide a reliable source of money to replace the steadily diminishing PECO funds traditionally used for [new buildings and infrastructure], and yet still expected the universities to accept more students and figure out a way to build new buildings and replace older, unsafe buildings,” he says. “And of course the Legislature is hypocritical in that they often have used earmarked funds for different projects than originally intended, like the practice of sweeping up money designated for lowincome housing,” Jewett adds, referring to lawmakers’ frequent diversion of funds from the Sadowski Affordable Housing Trust Fund for other unrelated projects – something that’s legal for the state but illegal for universities. An ongoing probe by the Board of Governors could also uncover more misspending at UCF all the way back to July 2010. “The Board of Governors is continuing to further investigate the university’s other used and planned uses of education and general funds for construction projects beyond the construction of Trevor Colbourn Hall,” Board of Governors spokesperson Brittany Wise said in a statement. The four employees Whittaker fired in the early stages of the Trevor Colbourn
Hall scandal are demanding their jobs back and say they wrongly took blame for a “broken culture” of misspending that Whittaker created. Whittaker did not respond to a request for comment. “UCF would begin the healing process by giving these women their jobs back,” says attorney Charles Greene, who is defending three of the employees. “Merck admits that he and others were involved in the decision-making process – not these lower-level employees who didn’t have any input into the decision at all. They’ve just been blamed for it.” “I just hope UCF does the right thing, because if they don’t, they will be sued,” Greene adds.
The scandal plaguing UCF
had been going on for months, with Florida lawmakers berating school officials throughout the process, but things started feeling like a personal vendetta when one legislator threatened to shut down the entire university for a decade. In February, Rep. Randy Fine, R-Palm Bay, actually suggested that the largest school in Florida, with 68,000 enrolled students, should be shut down for five to 10 years. The Brevard County Republican made the comment at a hearing of the Florida House Higher Education Appropriations Subcommittee. “I believe that we are stewards of the taxpayer money,” Fine, the committee’s chairman, told UCF’s interim vice president for finance and administration, Misty Shepherd. “We are obligated not to fund organizations that refuse to steward that money in an appropriate way. If this a private business that I owned, I would shut it down.” Fine then asked Shepherd: “I’m working on a five- and 10-year potential shutdown of the university, and so how much money … do you believe you would need next year if next year was the first year of a five- or 10-year shutdown because the university refuses to put in place appropriate corporate governance?” Hours after that meeting, and with House Speaker José Oliva downplaying Fine’s threat, Fine backpedaled, saying his comments were hyperbolic because he wanted to raise awareness of the serious nature of the investigation. The damage was done, though, and some Orlando lawmakers began to question why their colleagues seemed so vindictive toward UCF. Eskamani has a dual-degree bachelor’s and master’s degree from UCF, and is currently in the public administration school’s Ph.D. program. Eskamani, who has also been an adjunct professor at the university, says she remembers taking
women’s studies classes at the old Trevor Colbourn Hall. “This building was dangerous,” Eskamani says. “Their only option was to tear down the building and rebuild.” Systems of government reporting allowed the misuse of funds to happen without oversight, and checks and balance are needed, Eskamani says. But she argues things got out of hand with threats to the university, which is an economic hub for Central Florida. “We’ve seen lawmakers villainize UCF and try to use UCF as an example of the Legislature’s strength on accountability,” she says. “There are plenty of examples of hypocrisy where we’re not holding ourselves accountable in the same vitriolic nature that continues to be exhibited toward UCF.” Eskamani wonders whether the University of Florida or Florida State University, two of Florida’s pre-eminent universities with dozens of alumni in the Legislature, would be treated the same way as UCF. “We now know that other universities may have been doing the same thing, so I ask, ‘Are you going to shut down UF for five to 10 years?’” Eskamani says. “I don’t know if UF would have experienced the same treatment because of UF’s political power and number of grads serving in the Legislature. … These are public universities that are part of our system of impact in Florida, and we’re treating them like evil players in some sick game when they’re trying to make the best out of limited resources.” Rep. Carlos Guillermo Smith, another Democrat from Orlando and a UCF grad, says lawmakers need to consider “what factors have led to this systematic misuse of funds at multiple universities, not just UCF.” “I’m worried that we’re not looking at the systematic problem, which is the underfunding of public school buildings at our state universities,” he says. “We need to address that as part of the response. Not just punitive measures that punish students and faculty that have nothing to do with these problems.” Smith and Eskamani have been the most outspoken UCF graduates in the Legislature in defense of their alma mater. Republican UCF graduates, though, have remained mostly silent. Orlando Weekly reached out state Reps. Amber Mariano, Rene Plasencia and Chris Latvala, all UCF alumni, but received no response. The only vocal Republican UCF graduate has been Leek, who chairs the powerful House Public Integrity and Ethics Committee that’s currently investigating the school. Leek says he’s seen no signs of bias toward UCF. Although the
University of South Florida also admitted misappropriating $6.4 million in leftover operating funds, UCF’s $85 million misdirection of funds is significantly bigger, Leek argues. “I love UCF,” he says. “I hate what they did because it was absolutely wrong, but they’re not being unfairly targeted in any way. … Any wound UCF has suffered is self-inflicted. Any trouble they’ve gotten themselves into is because of trouble they’ve caused. Dale Whittaker is a good man. What he did was step down for the sake of the university, so the university could put a new face going forward. I happen to think that was the right decision.” Scott Launier, an associate professor at UCF and the president of the United Faculty of Florida at UCF, says the scandal is a “violation of public trust and taxpayer funding” and that a culture of misspending further impedes legislative trust. “Once we get to the bottom of all of this, are we pursuing accountability strongly enough? I mean, this is criminal stuff. This is a really big deal,” Launier says. “But I think that there are other people that are behind this that have not been named and touched by it yet. Because it seems that whatever agenda the university has had for the faculty union has not changed or wavered at all.” In the wake of reports last week that at least a quarter of Florida’s universities have some issue with the improper use of state dollars, Fine struck a more measured tone, telling the News Service of Florida that he wanted to look at more training for university officials who oversee school finances. Fine, a Harvard University graduate, says “nothing could be further from the truth” about lawmakers favoring other universities. “I understand where that concern comes from, but I didn’t go to any of these schools, so I don’t have any affinity,” he says. “If the University of Florida and Florida State had stolen $80 million, I’d be just as mad at them. … I don’t know that there should be any punishment for UCF. There should be appropriate actions for people who caused the misappropriation, but it’s not students’ fault.” Eskamani, though, says UCF students and staff would be directly affected if the Legislature refuses to provide for needed remodeling projects or allow the university to create a planned $40 million scholarship fund. “I know it’s not over,” she says. “Whether it’s removal of individuals from positions of leadership or lack of funding during this legislative cycle, it’s definitely not over.” feedback@orlandoweekly.com

HEARTS OF GLASS Einar and Jamex De La Torre’s Rococolab will shatter your notions of what art glass can be BY R I C H A R D R E E P
G
lass babies, bean pots, lenticular panels and beer labels are not business as usual in fine art, but we do not live in ordinary times. Einar and Jamex De La Torre, two brothers hailing from Tijuana, Mexico, debut a solo (duo?) exhibition in the Cornell Fine Arts Museum at Rollins College in Winter Park this spring. It’s their first ever visit to Florida (though their work appeared in the Orlando Museum of Art’s massive Contemporary Glass Sculpture exhibition in 2013), and they throw babies, beans, beer and more into a contemporary mix of Mexican-American-global sensibilities. The show’s name, Rococolab, references Mexico’s shaggy, over-ornamented colonial architecture that seems, as late as the 20th century, to be stuck in a rococo time warp. “It also means roco-colab,” Einar explained to us during a tour. Collaboration is the keyword between the two brothers, whose sense of humor comes through in their blown- and carved-glass, molded-resin, computer-manipulated, found-object-rich sculptures bursting with glossy color, double and triple meanings, and kitsch turned upside down and backwards. “Tanque You” is an exquisite green-andorange glass army tank, as pretty as candy even as it aims the barrel right at you. “Bean Pot” and “Organ Exchange” are pretty too, but even weirder. “When a family member needed a kidney,” explains Jamex, “we looked into it and realized pretty quickly that we’re worth a lot more money parted out, organ by organ, than we are as a whole human being.” Glass hearts, kidneys, intestines and
‘El Luchadorcito’ (blown glass, aluminum and mixed media, 2008)
various other body parts adorn the bean pot – referencing the pun “human bean (being)” and a few other Mexican slang terms as well. Lenticular art is rooted in kitschy portraits, where the eyes follow you or the painting changes depending on the viewer’s angle. The De La Torre brothers discovered a digital process whereby the lenticular glass can harbor three or more images, not just the usual two, so the effect is a moving picture. In “La Reconquista,” watch pop singer Ricky Martin transform, while Satan’s smile graces several TV stars in a hilarious, but exquisitely beautiful, send-up of “The Last Judgement” by 15th-century Flemish artist Hans Memling. “We collaborate with dead artists, too, because they can’t stop us!” says Jamex. Chaos and humor are knitted together this exhibit. Even the most somber, “Working Mother” – a lenticular and glass extravaganza – treats the special stresses and social position of women today with remarkable care and insight, and yet the stoic goddess figure cocks an eyebrow at the viewer. The De La Torre brothers throw a lot at you. Each work is multiplexed with color, materials, images, cultural references and jokes. In the small CFAM front gallery there is a joyous, maximalist overflow of art and ideas cheerfully captivating the viewer and yet stimulating serious thought. If less is a bore, then more is better and the most is the best. So how do they know when a work is finished? The brothers think for a minute. “When it’s full,” declares Jamex. Time to fill up. arts@orlandoweekly

ORLANDO CRITICS WITH ‘KNIVES OUT’ | PHOTO VIA SETH KUBERSKY
Being an arts writer can be a
solitary, even isolating, occupation. We never get to deliver a good review in person and enjoy the subject’s reaction. More importantly, when we write bad reviews, we’re always stabbing someone in the back rather than delivering our daggers faceto-face. But this past Sunday, I got the rare opportunity to gather together with my fellow Central Florida critics and sling barbs at performance artist Brian Feldman, who celebrated 15 years of absurd antics by being metaphorically Brutused over brunch. I’d spent the previous Saturday night stranded in the Birmingham airport, drowning my sorrows in oatmeal stout while waiting for my delayed flight home. So I staggered into the Glass Knife early the next afternoon jet-lagged and slightly hungover, which is the ideal state for publicly slamming someone. Feldman, a former Orlando arts fixture turned D.C. semi-celebrity, has returned home to mark his decade and a half of headscratching performance pieces with a series reprising his “greatest hits,” and as part of it, invited me and four fellow reviewers to read aloud some of our sharpest past critiques in a work he called Knives Out. I was curious whether one of Winter Park’s most popular eateries would appreciate our entourage monopolizing a 12-top for two hours during their busiest mealtime, or how fellow brunchers would react to our rantings while trying to enjoy avocado toast. But despite the 15-minute delay (a Feldman family tradition) while Feldman’s father, Edward, wrestled with the livestream, I managed to declaim all my notices and devour my BLT before the waitstaff booted us to the sidewalk. Feldman began by graciously thanking
In Knives Out, Brian Feldman celebrated 15 years of artmaking by being metaphorically Brutused over brunch
his assembled assailants, saying, “Were you to write something terrible, I would love it. … The most important thing is that something is said about these projects; otherwise they are lost to history.” Our host/ victim then explained his original intention to hold Knives Out inside the Randall Knife Museum on Orange Blossom Trail – home to over 7,000 blades – but said that plan fell apart because “unfortunately they didn’t really understand the concept, which is not too much of a surprise considering that projects of mine get turned down due to confusion.” I’ve been reviewing Feldman in Orlando Weekly for nearly as long as he’s been producing, and after publishing over 40 articles about him over a dozen years, I had plenty of material to choose from. The harshest thing I’ve ever written about him, which I happily delivered to his face in my best booming actor voice, was this barb about Brian Feldman’s William Shakespeare’s Macbeth: “I swiftly progressed through the ‘Five Stages of Feldman’ – shock, wonder, bemusement, concern and hunger – as I realized the show was not actually a monologue, but rather an interactive battle of
wills between the artist and his audience to see who would surrender first. Feldman felled me in this round; I was ‘out, out’ long before Lady Macbeth’s damned spot.” But at the risk of sounding soft-hearted, I simply didn’t have that many bad things to say. On the contrary, even at his most confounding, I’ve always found Feldman’s creations compelling, if sometimes in a car-crash kind of way. My fellow critics apparently felt the same, since we all shared a fairly balanced spectrum of coverage, with most leaning toward the positive or at least neutral; at one point of another, almost all of us were reduced to simple book-report recountings of his inexplicable activities, since intellectual or aesthetic analysis often seemed impossible. However, my colleagues unearthed a bounty of blood-drawing quips about Feldman that made me laugh out loud: — Al “Carl F. Gauze” Pergande for Ink 19: “Mr. Feldman excels at taking the mundane aspects of life and turning them into minispectacles that make you reconsider the deep, inner significance of brushing your teeth or filing your taxes. … As I suspected, the audience was limited.” — Mark Baratelli for the Daily City: “Everything that could have gone wrong did. … I was pissed that these folks chose not to put on a show as promised, but forced the audience to do their job for them. … None of this was fun, funny, charming or memorable. It was painful, awkward and stupid.” — Thomas Thorspecken for Analog Artist Digital World: “A major source of inspiration [and] a nervous ball of energy.” — Elizabeth Maupin for the Orlando Sentinel (as interpreted by Marilyn Wattman-Feldman): “A good number of the folks in the house seemed distinctly underwhelmed. … You can be bored to death by the Feldmans; you can be amused, or you can be both at once. … Is it still performance art when what happens matters less to the audience than it does to the performers on the stage? Maybe that question will make it all worthwhile. And maybe it won’t.” Feldman concludes his anniversary performance series with Fiddler on the Phone this Wednesday and Thursday, and The Feldman Dynamic at Stardust Video on Friday. After that? “Maybe we can do this again in another 15 years?” he asks. It’s a date! skubersky@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

MAIN SQUEEZE Compact Milk District taqueria is small on space, but big on flavor BY FAIYAZ KARA
L
ike Black Rooster’s John Calloway and Hunger Street’s Joe and David Creech, Ryan Manning is a gringo chef with a passion for Mexican culture and cuisine, tacos especially. His purist, somewhat staunch, ethic came as a result of working as chef de cuisine at the RitzCarlton in one of the most un-Mexican places in Mexico – Cancun. But he frequently ventured away from that tourist hotbed to explore his love for Mexican cuisine and all its celebrated regional variants. He shares those experiences at MX Taco – a modest Milk District taco stand where rubbing shoulders with fellow taco fiends is as sure a bet as meat juice dribbling down your chin. It’s got a great vibe – a vibe that Manning, a ginger-haired chef with boyish looks, has managed to make feel, dare I say, wholly “authentic.” He may have the outward appearance of a young Boris Becker but, inside, Manning’s as Mexican as Pancho Villa. After moving on to the Ritz-Carlton in D.C. after his Cancun stint, Manning scored an invite to stage a Cinco de Mayo pop-up of MX Taco at the Mexican Embassy. At. The. Mexican. Embassy. So, yeah, the man’s got some cred. And, no, he’s not making his own tortillas inside this wee taqueria.
“When I was living and working in Mexico, I realized the best taco places brought in their tortillas from a tortilleria,” says Manning and that’s precisely what he’s doing. He’d rather not disclose the name of the tortilleria, but don’t go looking for it. It’s not in Florida. “The place I’m sourcing from brings their corn in from Mexico, so it’s hard to get into their network because the corn is in short supply.” What it all amounts to is a shell that’s thick, airy, soft and not in any way conducive for takeout. Wet drippings from such Yucatecan classics as steak with sikil pak (a sauce made from roasted pumpkin seeds, citrus and tomatoes) and cochinita pibil (pulled pork and bitter orange) will quickly disintegrate the shell. So enjoy your $3 tacos there, and eat them in four bites (or less); enjoy them you will. A shrimp tikin xic marinated in achiote and bitter orange had me hoping tikin xic with snapper would make its way onto the menu one day. Favorites among the seven tacos offered: the Michoacán carnitas with confit pulled pork and Pueblan chicken mole poblano draped
in crema, cotija cheese and sesame seeds. From Oaxaca comes a deceptively filling and earthy veg taco with sweet potato, beans and a mix of crimini, clamshell and button mushrooms. It’s topped with cotija, pickled onions and salsa mole. A Sonoran barbacoa-style steak with guajillo-ancho pepper sauce and avocado crema round out the tacos. Tacos al pastor are offered as a special Saturdays from noon to 3 p.m. and, yes, the achiote-marinated pork is shaved off an electric trompo. Two quesadillas ($3), one with Oaxacan cheese and chipotle crema and the other with Oaxacan cheese and chorizo, spotlight Mexico City. We quite liked the latter, even more so when splashed with house habañero sauce (less fiery arbol and guajillo are also offered). Aguas frescas ($3), like watermelon and cinnamony horchata, also make a splash – but the true refresher came in the form of avocado ice cream ($4) tricked out with candied pumpkin seed, Mexican chocolate and chili-spiced coconut flakes. And so the sophistication of our taco scene continues. No, we’re not Mexico City or L.A. or, hell, even Miami yet, but joints like Black Rooster, Hunger Street and MX Taco only serve to get us closer, bit by drippy bit, and have us hungering for more. You can give our taco-crazed community an inch, but what we really want is a mile. fkara@orlandoweekly.com

Tom Baker (top) in Doctor Who: Logopolis
WHAT’S UP, DOC? Remastered classic Doctor Who story hits the big screen for one night only BY MA RYA N N JOHAN SON
I
f you’re any kind of science fiction fan, Doctor Who – the British TV show that has been running, on and off but mostly on, since 1963 – is kind of a big deal. And if you’re any kind of Doctor Who fan, Tom Baker is kind of a big deal: He played the Doctor from 1974 to 1981, the longest tenure for any Doctor to date. (If you’re no kind of Doctor Who fan, an explanation: The Doctor, a do-gooder space bum and centuries-old Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey, is able to “regenerate,” or, in practical terms, morph into another actor at convenient intervals.) And if you’re any kind of Tom Baker fan, then his final story, “Logopolis,” is kind of a big deal. Because if, like me and many other American fans of a certain age, your introduction to Doctor Who came when PBS scooped up the Tom Baker–era episodes to blast out weeknightly in the early 1980s, the thought that Baker was leaving the show induced spasms of anxiety. How could Doctor Who even exist without the goofywise intergalactic clown that Tom Baker embodied, he of the ridiculously overlong scarf and the jelly-baby candies and the robot dog K9 and, oh, absolutely everything wonderful and silly and profound about his manifestation of the Doctor? I
vividly remember, as a geek in my early teens, approaching “Logopolis” with equal measures of anticipation and dread. I honestly wasn’t sure then, as a melodramatic adolescent nerd, if I would be able to carry on in a world in which Tom Baker was no longer the Doctor. That said, I was infinitely less stressed out approaching “Logopolis” again recently as an adult, not least because I know that I survived the end of Baker’s stint as the Doctor, and that the show itself has not only survived but thrived since, certainly since its 2005 reboot. Now, “Logopolis” is coming to a big screen near you for a one-night-only Fathom Event in advance of a new Blu-ray release, on March 19, of Baker’s entire seventh and final season. For all of Doctor Who’s reputation – especially pre-2005-reboot – as cheap and cheesy, “Logopolis” holds up today with its deceptively simple yet ultimately rather sophisticated story about mathematics as the underpinnings of all existence. What starts out as a rather straightforward chore by the Doctor to take a trip to the mathematically inclined planet of Logopolis to enlist the locals’ help in fixing the chameleon circuit of his TARDIS (if you don’t know what any of that means, then this
Cinematic Discussions: Wendy and Lucy Wendy, a near-penniless drifter, is traveling to Alaska in search of work when her dog goes missing, prompting a frantic search for her only companion. Wednesday, March 6, 2 & 6 pm; Southeast Museum of Photography, Daytona State College, 1200 W. International Speedway Blvd.; free; smponline.org.
Fathom Event is definitely not for you) quickly becomes a race against time to protect the foundations of the entire universe from unraveling as math goes bad. The Doctor’s adventures are often this intensely and literally existential, and this story – four 22-ish-minute episodes presented in episodic format – reminds us that hardly any of the characters apart from the Doctor seem to grasp quite how ominous is the situation in which they find themselves. Like Tegan Jovanka (Janet Fielding), the Australian flight attendant on her way to her first job at Heathrow who accidentally wanders into the TARDIS – she’s far more concerned with getting back to Earth to make her flight than anything else. Tegan will eventually become one of Doctor Who’s most iconic and longestrunning companions, and so “Logopolis” is noteworthy not only as Baker’s last outing as the Doctor but as Tegan’s first as the Doctor’s companion. For the Blu-ray, and for this presentation, “Logopolis” has been cleaned up digitally, and it looks terrific projected on a big screen, much better than you’d expect from a budget production that was hardly expected to be seen again, ever, never mind like this. The FX have been cleaned up, we’re told, but seamlessly and unobtrusively so; they didn’t do a George Lucas job on it, tossing in flotillas of new spaceships or whatever because they could. You’ll also get teasers of the Blu-ray extras at the Fathom Event, and though I’m no huge fan of so-called bonus materials, I was intrigued. Apparently there’s a whole series of extras called “Behind the Sofa,” an allusion to the notion that British children used to watch the show from behind the couch because it was just that scary, which involves Tom Baker and others watching these stories and commenting on them … and the clips shown here are so brilliant and funny that now I want to see all of them. I’ve been a Doctor Who fan for most of my life, and I didn’t think there were new ways to get me excited about it. And now I have discovered otherwise. Cool.

Captain Marvel PHOTO COURTESY OF MARVEL STUDIOS
BY ST EVE SCHN EID ER
OPENING THIS WEEK: Captain Marvel It’s usually easy for Marvel to hide how derivative its source material can be, simply because DC is much slower to capitalize on its own assets. Two Ant-Man movies in, there’s still no sight of the Atom on the big screen, so does it really matter who got there first? Damn, by the time we saw the Flash in a feature, Marvel had already shown us two Quicksilvers. They even killed one, just to show off! But it’s going to be hard for Marvel to pretend it’s at the vanguard of anything with Captain Marvel. DC actually managed to strike first with Wonder Woman, which racked up major critical and commercial acclaim while reminding everybody which “house of ideas” invented the whole enhanced-estrogen thing in the first place. Captain Marvel certainly has a nice setup going for it, with the title character having been positioned at the end of Infinity War as, like, the salvation of life throughout the universe and stuff. And a release just weeks before Endgame means extra promotional advantage. Hey, maybe box-office success here will mean female-fronted comic book films no longer have to be considered an anomaly on any level. And then I’ll have to spend two paragraphs talking about pure trivia. Like plotlines. (PG-13) Ruben Brandt, Collector In this Hungarian animated feature, a psychotherapist is haunted by characters from famous paintings. So a bunch of his patients try to help him by … stealing the artworks in question? Hey, I’m sure it would make sense to Winona Ryder.
The movie is said to be chockablock with art-world references, which means that whatever currency you earned for knowing the back story of Peter Porker, the Spectacular Spider-Ham, now counts for exactly shit. Things move fast these days in the genre of animated art films, so Brandt has some heavy lifting to do to outdo the likes of Into the Spider-verse and Loving Vincent. Illustration styles that change not just from sequence to sequence but within the frame itself indicate it may indeed be up to the task. Next up: Pablo Pikachu, a One-Sided Pokemon Adventure. (R; opens Friday at Regal Winter Park Village Stadium 20 & RPX)

SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL
Danny Kiranos bares his demons with the gothic folk of Amigo the Devil BY NICK MCGREGOR
D
anny Kiranos has a dark side. But the Miami native, who’s performed a grisly strain of gothic murder-folk under the name Amigo the Devil for the last decade, is actually one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet. He just happens to have built a grass-roots career for himself exploring the gruesome side of humanity – spousal abuse, serial killers, self-loathing and blackout binges, to name a few topics – on banjo and acoustic guitar. Amigo the Devil’s 2018 full-length debut, Everything Is Fine, raised those sonic stakes. Drumming from Brad Wilk (of Rage Against the Machine) and production from Ross Robinson (of Korn and At the Drive-In) add heavy metal intensity to standout tracks like “Everyone Gets Left Behind” and “Cocaine and Abel.” But at the heart of Amigo the Devil’s music is gut-wrenching emotion and clear-eyed connection, a common thread joining past EPs Manimals, Diggers and Decompositions to Everything Is Fine. After leaving Miami at 17 to pursue film school and then culinary school in Los Angeles, Kiranos found his move while

out one night with friends. “I remember very specifically the moment that changed my perspective on music entirely,” he tells Orlando Weekly. “I heard some guy playing a cover of John Prine’s ‘Sam Stone,’ and something about the words completely shifted everything I knew about music. I don’t think I had heard a song that sad and that dark in its own realm. All the heavy metal I listened to growing up in Miami was dark thematically, but it was just shock value.” While he pursued a full-time career in brewing, bouncing between San Francisco, San Diego, Munich, Chicago and eventually Orlando, he spent his free time diving deep into the murky strains of twisted Americana. But he didn’t treat music as a full-time gig until a few years ago. “When I wrote the first few songs for [Amigo the Devil], I didn’t have any intention of getting into music,” he says. “I had a career; the songs were just an afterthought, a hobby. Which is really fun for me because I’ve been able to take things as they come.” Last year, his touring schedule intensified dramatically in the wake of Everything Is
Fine, however, with its star producer and percussionist pushing Kiranos to the next level: sold-out shows on the east and west coasts, a December tour of Great Britain and a 2019 itinerary packed tight all the way through July. Still, this Amigo prefers to operate on his own schedule. “When I reach the point where I’m planning things or forcing them to happen, then it’s not natural to me anymore,” he says. “At that point, it’s taking away from the feeling I’m trying to put forward in shows: not perfection but connection.” Still, there are some dark corners that only the man himself can probe. Kiranos says he’s always had a penchant for horror movies, true-crime biographies, and other sinister subject matter. Last year’s “Cocaine and Abel” felt particularly personal, with impassioned lyrics like, “But I’ve lied to my mother/I made people feel like hell/ But I refuse to believe I have to keep being cruel/’Cause I’m a coward myself.” Kiranos drops an unexpected bomb when asked what his career in brewing taught him about being a musician. “Cleanliness,” he laughs. “In the brewing industry, 90 percent is keeping things meticulous. You have to be really mindful of your space. That’s a lesson which has helped in terms of scheduling and keeping odd hours.” Although his Orlando-based Cassadaga Brewing business lies dormant today, Kiranos says he’s still excited about getting back to the City Beautiful. “When I left Miami, Orlando was the first place I was supposed to move,” he laughs. “My buddy and I got into a small situation, though, and I got stubborn and moved to Los Angeles instead. But I did end up in Orlando a couple of years later and stayed for a while. I miss it every day.” Kiranos says he can’t wait to have a beer at old haunts Redlight Redlight and Ten10 Brewing after his sold-out gig on Wednesday night, along with seeing how the city’s own dark-folk scene has progressed. “By no means do I feel like I’m doing anything that stands alone,” he finishes. “The connection is necessary for me. It’s a community. Everybody is pitching in to build this small little realm of darkness we have.” music@orlandoweekly.com

WORDS COME CLOSE Dreaming of love with Cold Cave’s Wes Eisold BY TYLER BARNEY
B
eneath the black leather and dark shades, Wes Eisold is a human who needs to be loved just like everybody else does. From his days as a punk vocalist at the turn of the millennium to his reincarnation as a poet, publisher and pioneer of modern electronic music, “the trajectory throughout all of this was this grandiose idea of love.” “When I started Cold Cave, it was a comedown from the whirlwind of my 20s,” he recalls. “I wanted to experiment with that comedown and try to make some sense of what I’d just been through.” And experiment he did. The first emissions from this endeavor hissed through layers of blownout synths, repetitive rhythms and ambient noise. Below the surface of its controlled electronic chaos, a new voice emerged. And for the first time, it wasn’t shouting. “I still had this bit of hope that I would feel love for myself and find it with other people in the future,” he says. “And ultimately, it was a self-fulfilling prophecy because I did get that with Cold Cave.” Eisold released the debut Cold Cave album and a pair of EPs through his Heartworm Press imprint, all of which were featured on the Cremations compilation issued by New York-based noise label Hospital Productions. The method of recording singles and EPs which would later appear on compilation albums suited Eisold’s approach to songwriting and would eventually become his preferred model for releasing music. Cold Cave’s breakout record, Love Comes Close, “wasn’t written as an album,” he says. “It was a bunch of singles that just
came out as an LP one day.” Co-released by Heartworm and indie powerhouse Matador Records in 2009, the album gathered synthpop hits like “Life Magazine,” “Heaven Was Full” and title track “Love Comes Close” into a work that would come to define the Cold Cave sound. Following the success of Love Comes Close, Matador signed the band for another album, and in 2011 Cherish the Light Years was released. The album marked a major turning point for Cold Cave. Far from the lo-fi home recordings of its early days, Cherish’s massive studio production divided longstanding fans while attracting new ones. While its songs were infinitely more accessible than their predecessors (try listening to “Confetti” or “Underworld USA” without bobbing your head), the process of recording and touring on a label’s terms challenged Eisold’s punk ethic. “We just didn’t want to have to subscribe to what other bands were doing,” he says. So they didn’t. Since Cherish the Light Years, Cold Cave has self-released an album’s worth of singles – and then some. “Being able to release singles here and there keeps us moving,” Eisold says. The band has also performed and collaborated with the likes of Genesis P-Orridge (of Throbbing Gristle and Psychic TV), Nine Inch Nails and Soundgarden, and they’ll be joining Ministry for a handful of dates in the near future. When it comes to being an artist, Eisold says, “Freedom is the last thing you remember you’re supposed to have. You’ve got to hold on to freedom and keep doing what you want.” music@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

BY B AO L E - H U U PUDDLES PITY PARTY | PHOTO BY JEN CRAY
This week in the Milk District: Afrobeat, funk and one big-ass clown.
PUDDLES PITY PARTY, PLAZA LIVE, FEB. 28
In concept, Puddles Pity Party is unabashed in its contrivance. Oh, but what a grand conceit it is. An NBA-sized clown with a satin voice makes as indelible of an impression as they come. Nothing’s wrong with a gimmick if it works. And the execution of this character is art. The crooner clown persona of Atlanta’s Mike Geier has become a cult phenomenon with a show that’s a fresh neo-vaudeville mix of audience-engaging pantomime skits and renditions of popular songs. Given the scheme, though, the results are often more theater than camp. With a wide-ranging covers repertoire that includes David Bowie, Tina Turner, Cheap Trick, Johnny Cash, Styx, Roy Orbison and the Pixies, this modern-day pop Pagliacci isn’t just some Top 40 burlesque. There were plenty of moments of levity but, mostly and most memorably, Puddles delivers these canonical hits with slow deliberation and noir resonance. He injects such deep pathos and majesty that it can be an eerily moving performance. That it’s cast in the warped light of a sad clown only makes it more intriguing. In fact, the clown routines, though of good quality, are low-hanging fruit in the totality of Puddles’ show. His best magic is coaxing surprising new emotion and depth from timeworn songs. When he hits it right, it’s a revelation that’s the arresting opposite of comedy. And nailing you with real poignancy when he’s set you up
The NBA-sized clown with the satin voice makes an indelible impression. Nothing’s wrong with a gimmick if it works
for folly is the most amazing trick of all. A simple cabaret version of Puddles’ show would be enough to satisfy real music fans. That said, one particularly mischievous gag where he shuffled the phones of people recording him mid-song throughout the audience was subversive and brilliant, causing an ad hoc lost-and-found to break out at the foot of the stage after the song to reunite phones with owners. In aggregate, there’s nothing else like the reaction between the studied clown craft and genuine singing artistry at Puddles’ performances. The juxtaposition – between humor and drama, classic and contemporary – yields a pretty singular gestalt. And it all adds up to a master expressionist.
BENGALI 600 AND THE RULES, IRON COW, FEB. 27
Orlando band Bengali 600 are currently on a quest to make Afrobeat a regular part of the local music pulse. Luckily, it looks like they have a chance. Their latest headlining Afrobeat night was the second one this year. With a third actively in the works already for March, this is on its way
to blossoming into a monthly tradition. And people are coming. Since Bengali 600 are one of the city’s most visible bearers of the Afrobeat torch, it’s a march led by able pied pipers. Their take on the tradition is a literate and devout one. These guys are disciples, not casual tourists. That they have little real competition doesn’t take away from their worth – it probably only emphasizes it. On stage, they’re a well-stocked septet (an octet when Orlando legend Anthony Cole joined them at this show) complete with keys, full percussion and horn section. Their groove is well-calibrated and perpetual, stoking but elegant. Even though the throb is occasionally tricked out with quality solos, the streamlined roll of this groove is king and no one is above it. And as a unit, they move with a step that’s both limber and tight. Warming up the night were the Rules, an esteemed veteran local act from the early 2000s. With the addition of some Bengali 600 members, this was an expanded six-man version of the band. Although famous as a drummer, Anthony Cole was again all in on the sax when playing with the Rules. This performance cast their signature blend of synth-laced space funk, jazz and post-rock in a more earnest and expansive light than in times past, showing off their musical intelligence with much less comedic distraction. Luckily though, the fun humor that’s always marked the Rules wasn’t completely neglected and the irrepressible slink of their robot-funk jam “PT & A” made its way onto the setlist. baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

Filmapalooza FILM
The 48 Hour Film Project is an international contest where aspiring filmmakers scramble to create an intelligible short film, from script to screening, in the space of two days. Each team has to use a specific character, prop and line – each assigned randomly – to prevent cheating by starting work early. A panel of judges in each city pick a favorite and send it on to Filmapalooza, the crowning event of the 48 Hour Film season. Winning films from around the world get screened at the Cobb Plaza Cinema, with one ultimately winning the year’s prize. Filmmakers can attend workshops and parties specifically for those in the trade, but the price is steep. Luckily, you don’t have to pay the full price if you just want to see the flicks; you just have to get there early enough to secure a seat. – Thaddeus McCollum 2 p.m. Wednesday, 11 a.m. Thursday, 10 a.m. Friday, 9:15 a.m. Saturday | Marriott Downtown Orlando, 400 W.

Janis Ian MUSIC
PHOTO BY LLOYD BAGGS
Though she’s shunned the pop-culture spotlight throughout her storied career, folk singer Janis Ian’s songs always find their way to a new generation of eager listeners. First breaking big as a teenager on the strength of taboo-busting single “Society’s Child” in the late 1960s, Ian retired and then returned to music in short order, scoring a Grammy for 1975’s unflinching, skeletal lament of adolescence, “At Seventeen.” She’s released a steady stream of albums in the ensuing decades, exploring all sorts of new musical avenues, including our personal favorite, the Giorgio Moroder disco-pop collab “Fly Too High” in 1979. She came out in the early ’90s and released the supremely confident Breaking Silence album in the immediate aftermath; in 2008 she released her autobiography, Society’s Child, and, fittingly, the audiobook version was nominated for a Grammy. And if all that doesn’t convince you, let’s run the dang numbers. This is Ian’s first Florida show in eight years, and her only date in the Southeast for 2019. If you miss this, the odds don’t favor you seeing her again anytime soon. – Matthew Moyer 7 p.m. | Tiedtke Concert Hall, Rollins College, 1000 Holt Ave., Winter Park | 407-646-2000 | rollins.edu | free

OUR PICKS FOR THE BEST EVENTS THIS WEEK ●

While Cirque du Soleil works on their anticipated Disney-themed show for the old La Nouba tent at Disney Springs, there’s been a mime-shaped hole in our hearts (or is it boxshaped?). But the Quebecois circus troupe returns this week with a brand-new (to us) show, Luzia, plopped down right in the middle of the Florida Mall parking lot. The show is described as a “waking dream of Mexico,” taking its inspirations from the music, culture and wildlife of our southern neighbor. Expect acrobatic hummingbirds, dancing armadillos, gravity-defying aerialists, cartilage-defying contortionists and plenty of whimsy as the spectacle sets up shop for most of the next two months. – TM 8 p.m. | through April 21 | The Florida Mall, 8001 S.

International Women’s Day EVENTS
Rather than having a “day” to “celebrate” them, it’d be great if women could just be considered equally human – not better or worse than men – every day. But until we can get 1) equal pay for equal work, 2) agency over our own bodies, and 3) the abolition of “Best Female [ANYTHING]” lists, we’ll take this lovely day of double-X-centric art and music at the Nook in the meanwhile. Femme-fronted bands (Julee Bruise, Lexi Long, Bedsweater) plus beer from woman-led breweries plus work for sale from female vendors and artists equals a most agreeable time/space to hang with your sisters while plotting to smash the patriarchy. – Jessica Bryce Young 4 p.m. | The Nook on Robinson, 2432 E.

Kevin Saunderson MUSIC
PHOTO BY TAFARI K. STEVENSON-HOWARD
Most of the last four decades of electronic dance music (EDM, breaks, electroindustrial, et fucking al) wouldn’t exist without Detroit techno. And Kevin Saunderson is one of that movement’s pillars and torch-bearers. Saunderson went to school with fellow legends Juan Atkins and Derrick May, becoming inspired to start making music himself after he witnessed his two former school-friends painstakingly craft the classic X-Ray single “Let’s Go” in 1986. He quickly found his own sound: a hard-driving yet insatiably catchy rhythmic attack. Early efforts from Saunderson like “The Sound,” Kreem’s New Order homage “Triangle of Love” and Reese & Santonio’s “Truth of Self-Evidence” demonstrated that he had caught up with his peers in no time flat. And don’t get us started on his side project Inner City’s twin “Good Life” and “Big Fun” late ’80s singles: pristine, soulful techno-pop that is untouchable still. The ensuing decades have seen countless releases, side projects, DJ gigs and running the KMS record label without pause. This man is living history. Get excited. – MM 10 p.m. | Elixir, 9 W. Washington St. | 407-985-3507 | elixirorlando.com | $15-$250

Leu Gardens Plant Sale EVENTS
Many people take care of a dog or cat as a household pet, but for those of you who think a living animal is too much of a commitment, there’s always the option of buying a plant. Just minutes from downtown Orlando, but still far away enough from the concrete jungle, lies Leu Gardens, a 50-acre botanical garden. Visitors can roam the beautiful grounds for free this weekend, and browse plants from more than 50 vendors selling everything from common household plants to exotic flora and outdoor accessories. Whether you’re looking for a new plant partner or a free visit to the ever-blooming gardens, this plant sale provides attendees with a unique experience in nature away from the noise and crowds of theme parks and attractions of the city. Parking can be tough, so prepare to walk. – Elizabeth Gondar 9 a.m.-5 p.m. | Harry P. Leu Gardens, 1920 N. Forest Ave. | 407-246-2620 | leugardens.org | free

Kurt Vile & the Violators MUSIC
In the “KV Crimes” music video, Kurt Vile lolls around Philadelphia in a homemade palanquin, plastic crown perched just so on those unmistakable waist-grazing locks. He’s the king of Philly – and a definite contender for World’s Chillest Guy. Vile’s songs stretch toward the existential, loaded with ramblin’ stretches of capital-J Jam, but as in his heroes’ best work (“How many times do I have to say Neil Young?”), there’s always an everyman punchline or two to keep things firmly grounded in the day-to-day. Vile’s rolled through Orlando proper twice before, but this appearance marks his debut on the Beacham stage. The only difference? Now he’s a radio star. 2015 saw “Pretty Pimpin’” become a bona fide No. 1. And since: “Lotta Sea Lice” and extensive touring with Courtney Barnett; Bottle It In, arguably Vile’s best album this side of 2011’s Smoke Ring for My Halo. Expect no spectacle, just a double-header of craft and charisma. Vile warned us: He’s gonna take a bite out of the world, sticky Orange (County) juice stains on his Planet Fitness T-shirt. – Madeleine Scott with the Sadies | 7 p.m. | The Beacham, 46 N.

B Y D A N S AVA G E
Let’s say my kink is edging and I edge myself for a few days leading up to a date. Is it my responsibility to tell my potential partner? There are a few variables here that are important to note. This is a first/Tinder date, and it’s just a coffee date, BUT she and I have talked about our expectations and there will likely be a physical aspect in whatever potential relationship may ensue. I understand that it’s never cool to involve someone in your kink without their consent, but what are the rules here? On one hand, if I don’t divulge this information, I could see how my production of an unexpectedly large amount of ejaculate could be upsetting, depending on the circumstances/activity. But on the other hand, at least some amount of come is expected, right? If I randomly had massive loads every single time through no effort of my own, would I be responsible for letting a partner know? Perhaps it would be the polite thing to do. I guess I’d feel comfortable saying, “Hey, by the way, I produce very large loads,” if sex were imminent. But when you add the kink factor into the mix, I think something like that should be talked about before sex is “imminent.” So what responsibility do I have to divulge this information? And if I do have a responsibility to divulge this, when would be the appropriate time to bring it up? I feel like it could be sexy to be so open about a taboo, given that we’ve already discussed the desire for a physical aspect to the relationship. But at what point between sex being “not off-limits” and “my parts are going to be interacting with your parts as soon as our clothes are off” is the right moment to disclose my kink? What Ought One Do? Let’s say … you blow that load. I can’t imagine your new friend will be shocked. Blowing loads, after all, is what men do1 with their penises2, WOOD, and most people who are attracted to men are aware of this fact. And anyone who’s slept with two or more men is aware that some men blow bigger loads than others. Volume varies. Volumes vary between men, and the volume of an individual man’s loads can vary naturally or as the direct result of an intentional intervention, like edging. Backing up for a second: Edging entails bringing yourself or being brought to the edge of coming over and over again. It’s about getting yourself or someone else as close as you can to the “point of orgasmic inevitability” without going over. Draw out the buildup to a single orgasm for hours or days – by edging yourself or being edged by someone else – and the resulting load will be 46
larger than normal for the edged individual. But even so, an edged dude’s load can still be smaller than the load of a guy who just naturally produces more ejaculate. And in answer to your question, WOOD, no, I don’t think there’s a pressing need to disclose your kink to your date. If it gets sexual, she’s going to expect you to produce ejaculate at some point. And even if the load you wind up blowing is enormous, you’re not going to drown her or wash out her IUD. Frankly, your letter reads like you got baked out of your mind and sat up half the night trying to come up with an excuse to tell this woman about your notthat-kinky kink and “I should tell her as a courtesy” was the best you could do. If you want to tell her, go ahead and tell her. But since there’s no need to tell her that you sometimes like to stroke for a bit without climaxing, there’s a strong chance she’ll react negatively to your “courtesy” disclosure. Even if she’s made it clear there could be “a physical aspect in whatever potential relationship may ensue,” she’s going to be scrutinizing you for signs that you aren’t someone she wants to get naked with. She’ll be looking for red flags at your first face-toface meeting, and if you come across like a creep with piss-poor judgment – and a needless conversation about how much ejaculate you produce and why you produce so much ejaculate will definitely come across creepy – then she may decide not to ensue with you. 1: Not all men have penises, not all penises have men, not all men blow loads, not all loads are blown by men, etc. 2: Not the only thing men do with their penises, some men don’t do that thing with their penises, some penis-havers don’t do that thing as men, etc. I’m a queer man who usually tops with men. A bad first try at receiving anal at age 16 led me to not bottom for years. After seeing the looks of delight on my partners’ faces, I decided to give bottoming another go. I followed your advice – lots of lube and relaxation, a little weed – and tried lots of different positions and dick sizes. But no matter what, I never seem to get past the pain and into the pleasure zone. I enjoy being fingered and using a prostate massager, so I know my prostate is in there. How many times should I try bottoming before I decide it’s not for me? Twentysomething Into Glutes Had To Have Orgasms Lustily Elsewhere There’s no set number of times a queer person has to try bottoming before deciding it’s not for them, TIGHTHOLE. A person

– queer or straight – can make that call without ever having tried bottoming. An exclusive top who isn’t afraid of his own hole, i.e., a queer guy who enjoys being fingered and using a prostate massager, doesn’t have a hang-up; he’s just a guy who knows what works for his hole and what doesn’t. And that’s more than most people know. A few days ago, someone broke into my house. Everything of value was taken – including my two dogs – but they left my clothes and stuff of that nature. Last night, my boyfriend and I were getting ready to fuck, and I went to the drawer I keep all our sex toys in, and they were all gone. I’m not only upset because hundreds of dollars of toys were taken, I also feel violated. This person has not only violated me by coming into my home and taking things, but by taking something so personal and intimate. I survived rape and molestation by a family member who is in jail for his actions, so sadly I know what it feels like to be violated. And this has brought that violation back and makes me feel like that same vulnerable, helpless child I was so many years ago. My boyfriend is being supportive, but I just feel so horrible and I do not know how to cope with this. Thief Has Exhumed Family Trauma I’m so sorry this was done to you, THEFT, and it’s perfectly understandable that this final violation – the theft of your sex toys on top of the theft of your other belongings and your dogs (!!!) – would dredge up painful memories of past sexual violations. I can’t offer you much beyond my acknowledgment of how awful this is and my sympathy. But if you’re having trouble coping, schedule a few sessions with a good therapist, someone who can help you process those feelings. I also think you should consider moving to a place that won’t be haunted by this violation, if possible, and your boyfriend should – when you’re ready – take you out and treat you to a few brand-new sex toys.
