Readers react to stories from last week. On April 25, we wrote about a bird up for auction. But this wasn’t your average bird – it was an exotic breed, a cassowary, with knife-like talons that can extend to five inches long and a height of up to six and a half feet. And this particular cassowary has a violent past: On April 12, it attacked and killed its owner, exotic animal collector Marvin Hajos, who was found fatally injured by Alachua County Fire Rescue. @Byron Scott Jones Can I have it wrapped? It would make the perfect gift for someone. @Robyn Young Loscutoff “Yes, I’d like to buy the bird that killed its previous owner” – no one, ever. @Andrew F. Colombino “... an exotic breed with knife-like talons that can extend to five inches long and a height of up to six and a half feet.” I think that’s called a dinosaur.

On April 22, we reported on Orlando’s two-fisted, crime-fighting Easter Bunny. The fluffy vigilante went viral last Sunday night after running into an ongoing brawl and beating up a man on Orange Avenue. The man behind the costume, Antoine McDonald, 20, told Orlando Weekly that he moved to the City Beautiful about a month ago. He’s had the bunny costume for a while, but he decided to put it back on for Easter and ride around his neighborhood in Lake Nona with friends. @Brice Cooke Wasn’t the bunny wanted for armed robbery in New Jersey? @Nader Rashid Bad bunny! Bad bunny! Whatcha gonna do? Whatcha donna do when they come for you? Bad bunny! Bad bunny! @Martin Balderama He’s the hero Orlando deserves. @Michael Schwartz Florida man has nothing on the Orlando bunny.

THE CASE FOR DONALD TRUMP’S IMPEACHMENT It won’t work. It’s politically risky. But it’s a moral imperative. BY JE FFREY C. BILL M A N

There’s no excuse, no alter-

native. What’s politically messy is constitutionally demanded. Donald Trump must be impeached. Impeachment is risky. It will drown out progressives’ messaging on health care and jobs. It will enrage Trump’s base and fuel conspiratorial “deep state” rants. It might lead to retaliatory investigations into the FBI and Hillary Clinton and the rest of Trump’s enemies list.

And it won’t lead to Trump’s removal from office. House Democrats probably have the votes to impeach the president, but the Republican-controlled Senate is unlikely to convict him. (It’s possible that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell will refuse to hold a trial.) When that happens, Trump will again dismiss the whole exercise as a partisan witch hunt. Politically, there’s little upside for Democrats. Trump is already headed into an election year polling around 40 percent with a good economy. Views on Russia and Robert Mueller’s investigation are fixed: According to a recent Politico/ Morning Consult Poll, voters are split 41–41 on whether Trump’s campaign worked with Russia, and a 47–34 percent plurality believe Trump obstructed the investigation, but only a third of voters think Congress should begin impeachment proceedings.

So why take a chance on something that won’t work and might provoke a backlash? The answer is simple: It’s their obligation. It’s not just about Donald Trump or gaining a political advantage. It’s about coming to terms with the fact that the president of the United States has violated the public’s trust and betrayed his oath of office. None of this is in dispute, at least by anyone with fealty to reality. Nor is it something to be shrugged aside as a personal failing, like lying about a blowjob. This man is fundamentally attacking the institutions of our democracy. He doesn’t just need to be defeated; he needs to be held accountable. More important, this country needs to reckon with the cancer Trump both embodies and represents. Regardless of how it ends, impeachment forces that reckoning. That matters more than politics. One article of impeachment against Richard Nixon accused him of “making or causing to be made false or misleading public statements for the purpose of deceiving the people of the United States.” Specifically, Nixon lied to Americans about the investigation into his campaign and White House staff. I dare anyone to say Trump has done anything less. Mueller’s report showed that Trump lied about his business dealings in Russia, about his campaign’s coordination with Russia, about his son’s meeting with a Russian operative, about his decision to fire James Comey, about wanting to fire Robert Mueller, about so many other things. His press secretary and attorney general also misled the American people

about the investigation. Another link between Nixon and Trump: obstruction of justice. Mueller made clear that, if Trump weren’t president, he would’ve been charged. Had his underlings not ignored his instructions to, for instance, fire the special counsel and then lie about it, the case against him would be even stronger. Referencing “constitutional processes for addressing presidential misconduct,” Mueller’s report amounts to an impeachment referral. There’s also the matter of Trump, aka Individual 1, being in essence an unindicted co-conspirator in the case against his personal lawyer and fixer, Michael Cohen, who pleaded guilty to helping the president pay a porn star to keep quiet about their alleged affair, in the process violating campaign finance laws. In addition, Trump has flagrantly profited off the presidency. Republican PACs and political campaigns have spent millions at Trump-branded properties, and deep-pocketed Mar-a-Lago members get close-up access to Trump and top officials. His Justice Department has also adopted a “narrow” interpretation of the emoluments clause that allows Trump hotels to accept huge sums from foreign governments. But the corruption offends me less than what Trump has done since the Mueller report’s release – that is, to effectively elevate himself above the Constitution’s checks and balances. His administration has refused to comply with a congressional subpoena for Trump’s tax records and sued the House Oversight Committee over a subpoena for Trump’s financial records; it has also instructed a former aide not to testify before a House panel and is fighting a subpoena of former White House counsel Don McGahn. There’s no compelling justification for any of this, other than that Trump doesn’t feel like he should have to cooperate. According to the Washington Post, White House lawyers are planning to fight all subpoenas and defy all inquiries, because, as Trump put it, “There is no reason to go any further, and especially in Congress where it’s very partisan – obviously very partisan.” If Trump can simply ignore Congress – and lie to the American people, and commit campaign finance fraud, and be openly corrupt, and obstruct justice – with impunity, because Democrats are too frightened of the political fallout, then they don’t deserve the power they’ve been given. The question isn’t whether Trump deserves to be impeached. It’s whether congressional Democrats have the courage to impeach him. feedback@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

Fashion Square Mall may be facing its final days, Florida House GOP passes bill thwarting the intent of Amendment 4, and other news you may have missed last week. »

Florida Senate signs off on ‘sanctuary city’ ban: A sharply divided

Senate voted to force local law enforcement agencies to fully comply with federal immigration authorities, and to punish officials who fail to do so. The parties squared off during the two-hour debate as immigrant families opposed to the proposal watched from the public gallery. Hispanic Democrats, some of them speaking in Spanish and in English, tried but failed to convince their Senate colleagues that the legislation is an affront to immigrants.

Florida House Republicans pass bill to make ex-felons pay fees before restoring voting rights: Last

week, the House approved a plan to implement a constitutional amendment designed to restore the voting rights of felons who have fulfilled the terms of their sentences. Democrats spent hours criticizing the bill, contending that it would place too many restrictions on felons seeking to have their rights restored. They also repeatedly argued that the bill would thwart the will of more than 5.1 million Floridians who supported what appeared as “Amendment 4” on the November ballot.

Another Florida police agency wants to use real-time facial recognition surveillance BY JO E Y R O U L E TTE

Orlando developer wants to tear down the Fashion Square Mall after buying land for $23 million:

Orlando developer Chuck Whittall wants to tear down the Orlando Fashion Square Mall if his agreement to buy the land underneath it for $23 million goes through. Local reports claim that while the Unicorp National Developments president has a contract for the 46 acres, Whittall still has to broker a deal for the mall with its owner, Bancorp Inc. The developer would also have to pull off negotiating individual deals for the real estate beneath anchor stores Macy’s, Dillard’s Clearance Center and JCPenney, which have 20- to 50-year leases on the property.

WATCHING THE WATCHERS

A minimum wage hike in Florida would cost the state $540 million in 2027, report says: According to the Financial Impact Estimating Conference, the Sunshine State would be on the hook for roughly $540 million in 2027 if the proposed amendment to raise the state minimum wage qualifies for the November 2020 ballot. If successful, Florida’s minimum wage would initially jump from $8.46 per hour to $10 in September 2021, to $11 in September 2022, to $12 in September 2023, to $13 in September 2024, to $14 in September 2025, and then, finally, to $15 the next year.

nother Florida law enforcement agency wants to use real-time facial recognition, a powerful technology currently being tested in Orlando as a surveillance system. The Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office is looking for a company willing to provide “real-time facial searching capabilities from live surveillance cameras,” according to a formal request the agency closed on Monday. Real-time facial recognition, which can be used with live video feeds to automatically spot and identify anyone walking in the view of public surveillance cameras, was one of over a dozen requirements listed in the request seeking information to build a “Facial Recognition System.” Orlando Weekly reached out to the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office repeatedly, but no one was available for comment throughout the week. After a version of this story was published, PCSO spokesman Spencer Gross reached out to Orlando Weekly. “That information was put in the RFI inadvertently,” Gross says. “We’re actually going to have it removed.” “The sheriff is still very much opposed

to utilizing real time facial recognition,” Gross added. Using live face-scanning surveillance would be a reversal for Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri, who in January characterized it as “the controversial use of facial recognition” during a presentation to Florida lawmakers on the House Criminal Justice subcommittee. Gualtieri told the committee that PCSO used a live facial recognition system about 15 years ago at a local airport that enabled surveillance cameras to scan all travelers in real time and “run them for warrants checks and other intelligence.” “We stopped it. I want to be clear with that,” Gualtieri added. “I don’t think it’s the right thing to do.” Less than a month after that presentation, PCSO tapped the private sector for ideas on how to build “the future design, construction strategy and project development for a ‘Facial Recognition System’” that includes as a minimum specification the ability to run real-time searches using live surveillance feeds. Gualtieri’s office already hosts the largest single facial recognition data-

REMEMBERING THE 49 Florida lawmakers put Pulse memorial in the budget BY XA N D E R P E TE R S

s the 2019 legislative session wound down last week, budget negotiations were on lawmakers’ minds. But one thing remained missing for Central Florida lawmakers: funding for a permanent Pulse memorial in Orlando. Then the Florida House stepped in with a proposed budget that matched the state Senate’s $500,000 allocation for a memorial to honor the 49 lives lost in the June 2016 nightclub massacre. State Sen. Linda Stewart, D-Orlando, told Orlando Weekly that after fighting for two sessions to get funding for the Pulse memorial, she’s pleased that leadership in the Legislature have come to an agreement for $500,000. “This is the first step

toward memorializing the victims, families, and the Central Florida community,” she says. In the years since the June 2016 mass shooting, the site of the former gay nightclub has served as an interim memorial. Currently, Pulse owner Barbara Poma and the onePULSE Foundation are hosting an international design competition for a permanent structure. In the Florida Senate budget, $245,000 was originally set aside for the memorial. But early last week following a conference committee, that had dwindled to $0. It was a head-scratcher, considering that $1 million in funding was included in last year’s legislative package for a memorial at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High orlandoweekly.com

base in the U.S., called FR-Net. Pinellas deputies – as well as more than 230 partnering agencies in Florida – use FR-Net to run photos of unknown suspects against a database of over 25 million identified faces pulled from criminal and non-criminal sources like driver’s licenses, mugshots and federal IDs. The Orlando Police Department is in its second phase of a pilot program with Amazon Rekognition, a brand of real-time facial recognition surveillance plugged into 10 street cameras in the downtown area. City officials have said the program is only being tested and not used in an investigative capacity. Live facial recognition is powered by machine learning algorithms whose accuracy to detect and identify faces is as accurate as the number of photos you train it with. Amazon, perhaps the largest company selling facial recognition, took heat from civil rights groups in recent months over Rekognition’s accuracy. A study done by MIT’s Media Lab examined face software from Amazon, Microsoft, IBM, Face++ and the Florida-based company Kairos and found that Amazon’s brand performed the worst, more accurately identifying light-skinned males over dark-skinned females. There are currently no laws in Florida governing law enforcement agencies’ use of facial recognition, let alone accuracy requirements for the increasingly competitive group of companies selling their software to police. feedback@orlandoweekly.com

School in Parkland after a gunman killed 17 students and teachers there. At the time, state Rep. Carlos Guillermo Smith, D-Orlando, proposed an amendment to the legislation that would have included $1 million for a Pulse memorial. The proposal didn’t pass. However, this year, he and Rep. Holly Raschein, R-Key Largo, filed a bill proposing $2 million in state funds for a Pulse memorial and museum. Smith told Orlando Weekly early last week that the fact that the funding showed up as a line item in the budget was “an indication that there’s bipartisan support for the effort.” He added, “All we’re looking for is parity and equality in funding. Nothing more, nothing less.” And that’s what they got. “Our budget chairs have listened to us in our sincere and authentic attempt to secure funding for the Pulse Orlando memorial and should be applauded,” Smith tweeted following the announcement of the funding. xpeters@orlandoweekly.com MAY 1-7, 2019 ● ORLANDO WEEKLY

ast week, the Florida Senate approved plans to build a new statewide network of toll roads, teeing up the latest battle between conservationists and state lawmakers.

The project is the brainchild of state Senate President Bill Galvano,

R-Bradenton, who, despite a flummoxed reaction among environmentalists and with very little legislative discussion on the issue, set up a vote on the proposal – SB 7068 – last Tuesday. By then the bill had already been heard in one Florida House committee, and was then sent straight to the House floor for a vote following the Senate’s 37-1 approval. State Sen. Jose Javier Rodriguez, D-Miami, was the only state senator to vote against it. The proposal consists of three toll roads: an extension of the Suncoast Parkway from the Tampa Bay area north of the Georgia border; an extension of the Florida Turnpike west to connect with the Suncoast Parkway; and the construction of a new transportation corridor, including a toll road that will stretch from Polk County to Collier County. It calls for spending $45 million next fiscal year, with that amount ballooning to $90 million in the 2020-2021 fiscal year, to roughly $135 million the following year, and then a recurring amount of $140 million starting in the 2022-2023 fiscal year. Much of the land proposed for development is within Taylor County, and most of it is owned by Florida’s richest man, Thomas Peterffy, who’s worth an estimated $18.5 billion, per Forbes. During the 2018 election cycle, Peterffy donated $310,000 to Gov. Ron DeSantis’ campaign. The left-leaning advocacy group Progress Florida dubbed the project the “Billionaire Boulevard,” lamenting it as a political payback for major landowners and development interests and describing it as “one of the biggest land grabs in decades, threatening large swaths of natural Florida in the process” in a petition drive earlier this month. In 2017, Florida Trend called the stretch of land “the largest continuous piece of undeveloped property in private hands east of the Mississippi River.” Under the proposal, the Florida Department of Transportation would be required to initiate a task force to study the potential economic and environmental impacts. The task force would be required to complete their work by Oct. 1, 2020. The proposal calls for construction to begin by the end of 2022 and for roads to open by the end of the 2030. Galvano claims the proposal – which is almost sure to pass in the House – will address Florida’s growth and need for

added infrastructure, provide new hurricane-evacuation options, expand bicycle and pedestrian trails, lay the groundwork for new water and sewer lines, and provide added access to broadband internet in rural areas. “Recent estimates tell us Florida is gaining over 850 people a day, or a population the size of the city of Orlando every year. We need to be ready,” says Galvano. “I am confident these new infrastructure corridors will help achieve Florida’s goal of strategically planning for future population growth, while at the same time revitalizing rural communities and enhancing public safety. In speaking to the Senate, state Sen. Tom Lee, R-Thonotosassa, who’s carrying the bill for Galvano, called the proposal a “bold endeavor.” But he also acknowledged “legitimate concerns about economic, human and community impacts that go along with alignment.” He claimed everyone with concerns would have “a seat at the table.” This, of course, was a response to environmentalists’ swift condemnation of the proposal. In fact, Galvano’s potential project is opposed by almost every environmental organization across the state with the exception of Audubon Florida, whose director of advocacy, Charles Lee, did not return Orlando Weekly’s request for comment. Still, it’s not a sure thing, state Sen. Linda Stewart, D-Orlando, stresses to Orlando Weekly. She says the proposal is merely a study commission for now. “Let’s just make that clear,” Stewart says. “This is not a done deal.” “I was not going to vote for it, but I put five amendments on there that allowed the environmental community to have a seat at the table and be able to be involved with the configuration of roads that might be considered,” Stewart continues.

Had it not been for her vote in favor of the proposal, Stewart says, she wouldn’t have been able to include the amendments she tacked on, in which environmental groups including the Nature Conservancy, the Sierra Club and the 1000 Friends of Florida, among others, would be included as members of the task force. Prior to Stewart’s amendments, though, those groups took issue with the proposal. At a press conference on Earth Day, Frank Jackalone, Florida director of the Sierra Club, said that his group would “declare war” on lawmakers who support SB 7068. “It’s unfortunate and ironic that at the same time the Legislature is planning to invest hundreds of millions of dollars in programs and projects to restore the state’s impaired waterways, it’s on the verge of approving three new highways that would splice through landscapes with fragile rivers, natural springs, wetlands and aquifer recharge areas,” said Paul Owens, president of 1000 Friends of Florida, at the same press conference last week, the day before the state Senate would take up the proposal. Florida lawmakers know this. Though there’s debate over the main driver of the Sunshine State’s recurring toxic algae and red tide crises, most lawmakers understand that road runoff and sewer drainage are major contributors. Most citizens are aware, too, and many have voiced how repulsive they find the continuing urban sprawl. Given these factors, why would lawmakers still opt to move forward with the project? It’s a question that stumps Valerie Anderson, an environmental activist and the director of communications and programming at the Florida Native Plant Society. “This is a completely rural area that is mostly free from strip malls and other things that disrupt wildlife corridors and encourage sprawling development,”

orlandoweekly.com

Anderson says. “There’s no demonstrated need for these roads. It was said that they have to do a hurricane evacuation route, but that is not demonstrably true.” [A digression on the topic of hurricane evacuation routes: With the steadily rising threat of climate change, as state Sen. Stewart also points out to Orlando Weekly, Florida may need more than Interstate 75 and existing routes to evacuate a large portion of the state’s more than 21 million citizens, if, or when, necessary. What state lawmakers aren’t addressing is how dangerous the process of such a large-scale evacuation actually is. According to a 2006 study from the University of Texas Health Science Center, when Hurricane Rita hit the Houston metro area and surrounding southeast Texas in 2005, spurring the evacuation of more than 2.5 million people, most of the 111 deaths that occurred were due to an accident during the evacuation process, and not the storm. The accompanying fiasco that comes with large-scale hurricane evacuations was part of the reason behind Texas state officials’ decision not to evacuate the metro area prior to Hurricane Harvey in 2017, which claimed 68 lives. OK, digression over.] Citing data from the University of Florida GeoPlan Center, Anderson says there are currently more than 3.6 million acres of priority wildlife corridor that lie within the toll road areas as defined under the proposal. That means, Anderson says, that over half of the study areas (more than 56 percent) are priority wildlife corridors. “And check out the map,” Anderson says. “There’s no way to thread your way around them unless [the state] built right on top of existing roads.” xpeters@orlandoweekly.com MAP SOURCE: VALERIE ANDERSON, FLORIDA NATIVE PLANT SOCIETY

DIVING INTO THE WRECK Florida-based books by Florida-born women capture the state in all its ugly beauty BY JESSICA BRYCE YOU N G

Kira Madden grew up in Boca Raton in the ’90s, and her memoir, Long Live the Tribe of Fatherless Girls (Bloomsbury), expresses those two very specific contexts with granular specificity. The muggy fever of South Florida, lousy with cockroaches, hurricane-ridden, but liberating in its saturated heat. The difficulty of finding a way to be, a who to be, in that end-of-the-century era of glitter body spray, fake boobs and pierced tongues, a culture that voyeuristically obsessed over Britney Spears, JonBenet Ramsay and chatroom murders. For a biracial girl in an unstable family, the sense that all identity is mutable was both blessing and curse. Her father paid for Madden to attend private school and participate in equestrian competitions, so no one needed to know there was no food in her mother’s house. Both her parents nurtured massive substance abuse habits, and Madden would find strangers in the living room, adults passed out or still awake and using, on her way to school. When she was flat-chested, horse-obsessed and acne-splattered, her classmates called her “Queera”; tongue-pierced, Wonderbra’d and binge-drinking, she becomes “Kinky Chinky.” Despite the title, Madden’s memoir is not about growing up fatherless – her father is a colossal, if intermittent, presence in her life. It was a presence brought into focus by absence and defined by the fact that for years Madden and her mother were the “other family” – her father was married with two other children – and reversals – when her father left his first family and married Madden’s mother,

he became, paradoxically, less present in her life. But being a secret is a formative experience. Being a secret leads simultaneously to self-importance (your existence is significant enough to be hidden) and, literally, self-doubt (do I exist? How can I prove it?). Madden’s childhood was shaped by stealth and it shows in her vacillations throughout the memoir, in which the events of her life are presented as a fragmented set of essays, crossing and recrossing in time, sometimes repeated but told from different vantage points. In the latter third of the book, conjectures come true and accepted realities melt – her childhood on shifting sands prepared her well. Madden will read and participate in a Q&A at Writer’s Block Bookstore this week with Kristen Arnett, the Orlando author whose dark, frank, funny debut novel, Mostly Dead Things, comes out in June from Tin House Books. While there are similarities – both authors are young queer women, both are Floridians writing about Florida; Madden’s memoir and Arnett’s novel share a bone-deep native’s understanding of the state – the two books are antipodean. They’re funhouse mirror images, in which every likeness is actually a distorted opposite. Jessa-Lyn Morton, the protagonist of Mostly Dead Things, is literally fatherless – near the beginning of the novel, she finds her father dead by suicide in his taxidermy shop. And while Madden’s father was physically present but emotionally distant, Jessa’s father is gone but still shapes every moment in the lives of those he left behind. Jessa, her father’s favorite, has become almost a

AN EVENING WITH T KIRA MADDEN AND KRISTEN ARNETT 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 1 Writer’s Block Bookstore, 124 E. Welbourne Ave., Winter Park 407-335-4192 writersblockbookstore.com free

carbon copy of him, while her brother’s life is defined by his emotional abandonment. Their mother’s complicated feelings about her husband’s death emerge in hilarious and grotesque ways. Arnett describes fixing what’s broken and how that requires noticing it broke in the first place with a shockingly lyrical earthiness, gorgeous and gross. So: a presence that feels like absence, and an absence that functions as an oppressive presence. How do we write about absence – more plainly, how do we make a thing around no-thing? Taxidermy seems like a decent metaphor for that – stretching a skin over an empty framework – but taxidermists actually mount skin over a solid form, as we learn in Mostly Dead Things. Maybe a body submerged in water, whether the oceans of Madden’s beach-dwelling youth or the lakes Jessa-Lyn splashes in, is a better metaphor: the writing can surround, encompass, even submerge the subject being written about, yet cannot enter the void inside the body’s boundaries without permission. Both Fatherless Girls and Mostly Dead Things delve delicately and with determination into the hollow men that founded their childhood kingdoms.

CINDY WHITE, ENTERTAINMENT DESIGNER

More Central Florida visitors

experience the efforts of local artists inside a theme park during a single day than will step inside any of Orlando’s museums over the course an entire year. From a lone parade float to an entire themed land, there are countless designers, painters and sculptors laboring behind the scenes of every attraction, usually in anonymity. Now, a Loch Haven arts institution is finally paying proper attention to one of those unsung talents, thanks to the new exhibit You Mean Sort of Like This? The Entertainment Design World (or Process) of Cindy White, which debuts Thursday, May 2, at the Orlando Repertory Theatre. You may not recognize her name, but if you’ve been entertained by a Walt Disney World parade, explored Pantopia at Busch Gardens Tampa or visited the brand-new Sesame Street expansion at SeaWorld, you’ve sampled some of the magical projects freelance designer Cindy White has had a hand in dreaming up during her four decades working in the attractions industry. But even though her concepts have been turned into creations that entertain thousands around the world, White doesn’t consider what she does to be “art,” as she emphatically insists almost as soon as we begin our interview inside the boldly painted living room of her cozy downtown home. “The drawings don’t mean anything. The art is the thing that we build, or the show that we make, or the attraction we open …

Professional designers in the attractions industry make the same salaries as scientists and engineers, says Cindy White, and there’s plenty of work that’s the art. I just never thought of myself as an artist.” A native of Fort Pierce, White grew up in Tampa and became active in theater during high school. “I had pretty much always been drawing my whole life from toddlerhood on, and everyone assumed I would be an artist, but I always enjoyed drawings that were about things that were going to get made. I liked to pretend to be an architect or car designer,” she says. White studied costuming and lighting at the University of South Florida, graduated in three years, and got a job at Walt Disney World back when there were only 52 stage technicians (including six women). At age 21, she was hired by WED Enterprises (now known as Imagineering) to design for the resort’s live entertainment department. She remained with Disney for more than a decade before leaving the Mouse to establish Cindy White Art in 1995. “Going freelance from a salaried position

at a company like Disney in the mid-’90s meant you were giving up health insurance that paid 90 percent, dental insurance that was excellent … it was like living in Canada.” But despite the risks, White says, “it took me about five minutes to decide to quit.” She adds, “I know I got held back at Disney because I was female. That was definitely a good reason to quit there, but once I went freelance everything took off.” I was surprised to learn that White, who has contributed to nearly every known type of amusement contraption (except a carousel) and is currently working on top-secret projects for Universal and Herschend parks, has zero personal interest in attending the attractions she helps create. “If I want to stay true to what I do, you look at the real stuff,” she states. “I go visit places, cities, buildings, architecture. I go to art museums. As fun as it is, you don’t become a better designer by looking at the other designers, or your own designs. Why do I want to go see my own parade again? It’s just not that interesting for me to see once it’s open; I just move on.” The gallery of White’s work, which will remain on display through Oct. 2, includes selections from both her theme park projects and theatrical sets she’s designed for the Rep and Mad Cow. Part of her intention in putting together the exhibit was to encourage young designers by emphasizing the vast volume of work that is available. For example, she shows a sample of her renderings for the Dreamlights parade at Tokyo Disneyland. White says, “That parade has 30 floats, and every float is probably 50-100 drawings of various types. So you’re seeing a handful of thousands of documents that it takes to create a parade like that, and maybe 200 from me. It’s a massive amount of work and time and people involved in these types of projects.” Over the past quarter-century, “there have been lean years and crazy-huge years,” but White remains an enthusiastic supporter of the freelancing lifestyle, serving on the board of the SLICE Creative Network founded by Melody Matheny. “There’s more work than there are people right now,” White says. “I know a lot of the talk is about STEM, but the professionals in our industry make those same salaries, and there’s more attractions and parks than there have ever been before. We need to get our industry in the forefront, because we’re the future of Florida.” skubersky@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

[ food + drink ] HINCKLEY’S FANCY MEATS East End Market, 3201 Corrine Drive 786-671-1023 hinckleymeats.com $$

FLESH FOR FANTASY East End Market meat shop crafts mighty fine sammies from responsibly raised livestock BY FAIYAZ KARA

att Hinckley’s journey through culinary’s crazy world has seen him man kitchens from Disney to Miami, Nicaragua to Alaska, Tanzania to New Zealand and a few points in between. And through it all – the learning, the reading, the voracious drinking – it’s no surprise he’s managed to become one of the city’s most hardened and experienced chefs. But Hinckley isn’t just another autodidact with wanderlust; the man has an intuition about food and its place in today’s world, having sharpened that awareness at James Beard Award-winning Michael’s Genuine Food & Drink in Miami and Michelinstarred (and now closed) Public in New York City. He’s a champion of responsible agricultural practices; of sustainability and zero waste; of the local independent farmer; of knowing where our food comes from; and of meat … really fancy meat. His stint as executive chef of Miami’s Box Park, a restaurant that played up the virtues of whole-animal butchery and noseto-tail dining, offered a glimpse of the world in which the Orlando native would soon immerse himself. In 2015, he connected with Emily Rankin of Local Roots, and launched Hinckley’s Fancy Meats out of Local Roots’ food hub in Lake Helen before opening his retail stall

inside East End Market this past March. Huddles often amass around the new display case, where some gawk and others drool at the sight of the flesh fantasies fashioned by Hinckley – truffle pâté (“best eaten on a superyacht” he claims), pork terrine with pistachios, turkey sausage, tasso ham, bacon liverwurst, smoked antelope sausage. There’s a crackling porchetta that’s used in the sandwich ($14) of the same name which, apart from being a little undersalted, was superbly gratifying with a layer of salsa piccante, broccoli rabe and roasted peppers. Many of those fillings are procured from Fleet Farming, while the bread – ciabatta in this case – comes from the Olde Hearth Bread Co. right next door. Yes, in addition to being a specialty meat and charcuterie house, Hinckley’s also serves as a sandwich shop, and a mighty fine one at that. That

became clear after I devoured a Wapiti elk meatball sandwich ($15) soon after Hinckley’s opened. It had a kick Hinckley said came from local datil peppers, which often find their way into the various pâtés, terrines and rillettes as well. Subsequent visits had me gorging on bracing banh mis ($14) fattened with squares of country pâté, duck-liver pâté, pickled daikon, watermelon radish, jalapeños and plenty of cilantro. On another visit, Hinckley suggested I sample the pastrami on rye ($14). Let me just say that if your bubbe is visiting from Brooklyn, you should treat her to this sandwich. Naturally, it’s made from grass-fed Florida beef, and the horseradish lends just the right amount of nostril-flare. A citrus aioli adds a surprising zest, and a Florida twist, to the roasted chicken salad sandwich ($13) served on a croissant. Hinckley is currently limited to roasting, smoking, short cures and softer preserved meats, but once a processing facility is secured and operations centralized, he’ll get back into larger-scale dry curing – which means more fancy meat and more fancy meat shops around town. Until then, Hinckley will continue to make responsibly raised and impeccably crafted meats available to all of us, and for that, we’re thankful. fkara@orlandoweekly.com

BUSTER’S BISTRO

Convivial Belgian gastropub in the heart of Sanford’s historic district has an amazing selection of Belgian brews on tap and by the bottle. Hearty dishes make fine accompaniments to all that beer, none more so than the short rib carbonnade. A deconstructed vol-au-vent’s got flavor, as does the poutine, though the presentation may make card-carrying Canucks cringe. Closed Mondays. 300 Sanford Ave., Sanford, 407-732-6880; $$

BAANCHAN THAI

East Orlando Thai joint delivers a bit of the traditional (the pad thai is solid) with a few dishes to lure the intrepid diner, like seasoned quail eggs fried in a khanon krok; “Thai heaven beef,” aka fried beef jerky; and duck ramen in a lemongrass broth cloaking infernal red-hot chilis. Creamy Thai tea makes a great palliator. Closed Mondays. 10725 E. Colonial Drive, 407-270-8448; $

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 fries are offered too. Open daily. 869 N. Alafaya Trail, 407-730-7260; $

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.

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.

Fresh-fruit slushies, teas and coffee are this Cali-based chain’s signature offerings, but “Hispanic-Asian” food offerings make ideal accompaniments to such boffo iced bevs as mangonada and spicy watermelon.

BEATING THE ODDS Long Shot surprises by being clever, original and genuinely funny BY MA RYA N N JOHAN SON

h, for the love of Pete, I cannot with another one of these male-fantasy rom-coms about a useless doofus dude pursuing a brilliant and accomplished absolute goddess because he is an idiot but also arrogantly deluded enough to think he has a chance with her ... and then getting rewarded by the movie by actually ending up with her. So I thank the gods of cinema that that ain’t what Long Shot is. Like, not at all, despite how the film has been marketed. The trailers make it a little clearer what this is about, but before I saw the movie I had only the posters to go by, and they really play up the impression that this is going to be yet another celebration of what may be the ultimate boy-movie daydream: That seriously, Jobless Guy Wearing No Pants, there isn’t a woman alive who is out of your league. I am over the moon to be able to report that Long Shot is more like House of Cards if it were less horrific, waaay more funny, and genuinely sweetly sexy. This is, astonishingly, a politics-meets–pop culture satire about an honest, dedicated, principled journalist, Fred Flarsky (Seth Rogen) – who isn’t anything like a doofus but probably could use some Queer Eye help

with his dress sense, and that definitely gets some clever comedic workout here – who reconnects with his one-time teenaged babysitter and first crush, Charlotte Field (Charlize Theron). This is propitious for both of them, because he’s just quit his job with a progressive newspaper in protest over its being bought out by a Rupert Murdoch-esque right-wing billionaire troll, and she needs to hire a new – checks notes – speechwriter as she attempts to move up from her current job as – checks notes again – the U.S. Secretary of State to the big chair in the Oval Office. And she’s so everything enough – intelligent, diplomatic, poised, savvy, ambitious, forward-thinking – that she might actually be able to achieve that. Yes, OK, it’s true that then Fred and Charlotte embark on a tentative workplace romance, but that isn’t anywhere near as unlikely as it may at first appear from outside the movie, and it totally works within it. Because they are both authentically smart and cool. They have incredibly palpable chemistry. They have a lot in common, such as their past as kids together, and also – check notes one last time – wanting to save the world from our terrible, terrible leaders. Hello, there is definitely

fantasy afoot here, but it’s political and cultural, not sexual or romantic. Just the idea that people like Charlotte and Fred, liberal and open-minded and trying to make the world better for everyone, might succeed in getting the power they need to enact their ideals makes this truly a romantic comedy for our horrible times, when mere hope itself feels like a pipe dream. But there’s a level of culture-jamming going on in Long Shot, too, certainly in the delicious bait-and-switch that will, we can hope, sucker in some stoner dudebros and then, perhaps, slightly engage their interest in global politics, because why not be a well-rounded stoner dudebro? And I don’t mean to denigrate stoner dudebros – everyone embodies human dignity, yo – and director Jonathan Levine has actually even done this before, with his surprisingly humane Christmas Eve dudebro bash The Night Before and even more unexpectedly compassionate dudebro-got-cancer dramedy 50/50. (If I had known in advance this was from Levine, I’d probably have been less startled by how sorta gosh-darn nice it sneakily is.) Also Long Shot is just plain funny, in a way that is rare to experience. I don’t often laugh out loud at the movies, frequently because what passes for “hilarious” onscreen, certainly in Hollywood comedies, is more about indignity and embarrassment than anything else, which I am almost never moved to laugh at. But it’s possible to be kind and empathetic and also amusing, and Long Shot gets that. As a remarkable bonus, this movie features perhaps the funniest, most human sex scene ever, and nothing about it is mean-spirited or about humiliating anyone or shaming them for being interested in sex or wanting to have sex. It’s a little microcosm for the movie overall: finding gentleness and companionship in like-minded friends, but also isn’t this just the most wonderfully ridiculous thing ever? The political stuff in Long Shot is legitimately and reasonably angry, but the intimate respite that Charlotte and Fred find from that is just plain lovely. We should all be so lucky. feedback@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

Dennis Quaid in The Intruder PHOTO COURTESY OF SCREEN GEMS

BY ST EVE SCHN EID ER It’s weekend two for Endgame, which means the rest of the movie industry has to answer the question first posed to Ralph Macchio in Crossroads: Who’s gonna step up and get their head cut? In addition to Long Shot (reviewed on page 27), the other major sacrificial lamb is a picture that carried the working title Motivated Seller, but is now known as ...

OPENING THIS WEEK: The Intruder In his analysis of the original Amityville Horror, Stephen King said it was the undercurrent of economic uncertainty that made the story work. In tough times, see, even a haunted house is hard to give up. That’s probably even truer now than it was then, so I’m a little bit surprised more modern horror and suspense films don’t take the hell of American real estate as their foundation. Into that comparative void steps The Intruder, in which a young couple buys a home from Dennis Quaid and then discovers he might not be about to let it go after all. A house that’s haunted by its previous owner might be the scariest of all (and not just when that owner is Dennis Quaid): The market being what it is, every buyer’s fear is that that dream property she’s tumbled to comes with some serious strings attached. Although it is interesting to see how far we’ve come in the 29 years since Pacific Heights, when the Renter From Hell was considered every moviegoer’s nightmare. Remember when Hollywood thought we could actually relate to people with enough money to maintain

properties they didn’t actually live in? I’m just waiting for some studio exec to figure out that healthcare is the public’s No. 1 bugaboo, because Pre-Existing Condition is a series I can see going to seven installments, minimum. (PG-13) Sunset Filmmaker László Nemes reunites with Juli Jakab, the star of his Oscar-winning Holocaust drama Son of Saul, this time casting her as a woman searching the streets of Budapest for the brother she never knew she had. Will she find him before World War I arrives and puts the kibosh on the whole deal? Given the comparisons to Kubrick the film is drawing, I don’t know if I’d expect a clear-cut answer. (R; opens Friday at Regal Winter Park Village Stadium 20 & RPX) Ugly Dolls When it comes to synergy between the multiplex and the toy box, one rule stands true: For every Lego Movie, there are 100 Bratzes. So you pays your money and you takes your chances with Ugly Dolls, in which the popular cuddly homelies discover a land of toys that are striving for perfection in the hopes of being adopted. I don’t know, man: That sounds awfully reminiscent of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, just kind of sideways, sorta. The question now is whether there are enough kids out there who have never heard of the Island of Misfit Toys for this picture to eke out a reasonable profit until Detective Pikachu shows up next week to kick its clothcovered little ass.

THIS IS GROWING UP The Woolly Bushmen stretch their creative legs and shoot for success with new album BY NICK MCGREGOR

ocal garage-rock standouts the Woolly Bushmen kicked off their last three full-length albums with three different instruments. On 2014’s Sky Bosses, it’s the skittering Farfisa organ of frontman Simon Palombi. On 2017’s Arduino, it’s the booming drums of Julian Palombi, Simon’s brother. And on the forthcoming In Shambles, which will be released on May 10 by Pig Baby Records, it’s the throbbing surf guitar lines of Jacob Miller. Granted, all three single-instrument intros immediately give way to a unified trinity of full-throttle rock. Each of the Bushmen adds instrumental elements of classic soul, grimy garage punk and revved-up blues as Simon Palombi’s unmistakable howl twists and contorts around each strutting riff. But listening to the first few seconds of each Bushmen album is a useful exercise for charting the evolution of this trio. Started in 2011 as what Palombi calls a “joke hobby band,” the Woolly Bushmen quickly became Orlando favorites. Instigating sweaty freak-outs and feverish dance parties that often outshone the bigger national bands they were opening for, the Bushmen struck gold with their first few self-released cassettes, CDs and 45s. Now, with a national publicity campaign heralding the release of In Shambles and a run of major-market tour dates, the Woolly

Bushmen look to convert even more acolytes while stretching their creative legs. In Shambles covers more ground than any previous release, with country blues, Texas honky-tonk and psychedelic power pop all elbowing into the mix. “We’ve gotten tired of doing the same old three-chord songs over and over again,” Palombi tells Orlando Weekly. “We just wanted to mess around with new sounds. We didn’t know if they would work or not, and we scrapped a lot of material. But I just said, ‘What the hell!’ and made exactly what I wanted, trying to expand it into a Wall of Sound type of thing.” In Shambles was recorded directly to tape with all-analog effects in Palombi’s home studio, but the sonic quality rises to Phil Spector’s legendary level. While the Woolly Bushmen’s live shows conjure up the ghosts of Jerry Lee Lewis, Screamin’ Jay Hawkins and the Troggs, it might be Spector’s early-’60s studio experiments with the Wrecking Crew at the nexus of R&B, pop and hard rock that influence Palombi more than anything. After moving to Orlando in 2010, the Palombi brothers were pleasantly surprised to find a sturdy garage-rock scene and a welcoming atmosphere in which to hone their chops. “It’s really impressive,” Palombi says. “When I first moved here, I viewed Orlando as kind of a small town. And it is – but if you

7 p.m. Thursday, May 2, at the Abbey, $20

hang out once at Will’s Pub, you realize that people here feel the same way about punk and garage rock. There are always great new bands coming out, and although it’s not a huge scene, it’s a nice, close-knit family.” That family will give the Woolly Bushmen a proper Will’s Pub send-off this weekend, before the trio departs on May 22 for 11 gigs in 11 days across the Southeast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwest. “It’s a lot of long drives,” Palombi laughs. “We’re covering a wider area of ground in less time, but we figured it’s important to hit the cities where we have the biggest followings to promote the new album. Plus, we usually don’t like touring for more than two weeks – we begin to hate each other.” That’s the kind of work that Palombi says he and his bandmates never expected to be doing. “We started the Woolly Bushmen because we were bored – we never thought we’d be touring or having a record come out.” And although the band is firmly rooted in Orlando, Palombi says they learned their oversaturating-the-local-market lesson early on: “At first, we tried to play as much as we possibly could, and that inevitably backfired. So we’ve learned to limit our in-town shows to once every few months. But every time we play in Orlando, I think, ‘Everybody here has seen us – what do they care?’ I’ve made peace with that.” That enduring love from fervent fans – what the band describes as “mass appeal without losing cult appeal” – is enough to keep the Woolly Bushmen going. “The band doesn’t make any money,” Palombi laughs. “We all work day jobs. But music makes me happy – it’s one of the few things that does. You gotta love it to pursue it.”

NOW I WANNA BE YOUR DOG

Young and hungry garage rock locals release their debut slab of wax BY MATTHEW MOYER AND MAISIE HANEY

eemingly exploding out of nowhere at the end of 2017, white-hot local garage quartet the Spoon Dogs have elbowed their way to the front of the local trash-rock pack on the strength of hyperkinetic live workouts, playing with the likes of fellow rock true-believers Golden Pelicans, Scott Yoder and the David Nance Group. And fittingly for their fast-forward musical arc, the quartet of Dan Delanois (guitar), Sam Crow (guitar/vocals), Sam Leatherwood (bass) and Christian Viguie (drums) this week celebrate the release of their debut 7-inch single with a show at Stardust and “saving their nickels and dimes” for an East Coast tour up to New York and back in a few months. From humble beginnings a couple of years ago, when the members of the band

– all more or less freshly moved to Orlando – would meet up at Delanois’ house, “get wired on coffee and start screaming,” the band quickly banged together a live set and started hitting local stages hard, impressing straight out of the gate. Orlando Weekly witnessed a few of these early sets and we can attest to being surprised by the controlled ferocity of such a new outfit. Funnily enough, Spoon Dogs cemented themselves as local favorites when they played a shockingly note-perfect Devo cover set – in full Devo drag – around Halloween last year in front of a packed house at “Ugly Orange Presents: Battle of the Cover Bands.” The members collectively laugh in happy disbelief at winning the championship belt for the evening, but lament that “the belt is falling apart, it needs to be hot-glued.”

But it’s with their original material that the Spoon Dogs really prove their mettle. New single “The Way You Talk About It,” an incredibly convincing distorted strut clocking in just under three minutes, is newly out on Pasadena’s Pig Baby Records, an ace repository for garage rock wildlings like Bloodshot Bill, Deadbolt and Stephen El Rey. (And in an oddly fortuitous twist, Pig Baby is also putting out the Woolly Bushmen’s In Shambles LP, discussed on the previous page.) Produced by Simon Palombi of the Bushmen (!) and recorded in a handful of takes, “The Way You Talk About It” is as much a rave-up as it is a taut statement of intent. The Spoon Dogs aren’t going to be a local secret much longer. music@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

This week, legends new and old cement their legacies.

AVEY TARE, WILL’S PUB, APRIL 24

With Avey Tare headlining, Deakin playing in his live band and Geologist opening, Orlando promoters Ugly Orange were host to three-fourths of Animal Collective, which is even more than the quorum required to make one of their albums. Oh, the complicated legacy of Animal Collective. Their paradigm-changing music effectively redrew the indie landscape in the 2000s and early 2010s. Like the four horsemen of the zeitgeist, they rode in on the watershed 2009 album Merriweather Post Pavilion with such defining influence that they triggered a whole new generation of aspiring artists. It started out as a refreshing rush, but ultimately became a scourge of wannabes who tried to peddle thin psych-pop ideas under the trendy cover of underwater sonic effects. But as Jesus (and the OGs of emo and ska) taught us, let’s not punish the originators for the sins of their followers. On his own, Avey Tare, né Dave Portner, has been as much of a creative moving target as Animal Collective. His current album, Cows on Hourglass Pond, is a relatively accessible snapshot of an artist whose entire career has been defined by obliqueness. The key word, of course, is “relatively.” As such, this was no basic concert but a journey to the outer realms. Expectedly, Avey Tare’s set was a thing of dream and suspension. But even amid

The Church’s “Under the Milky Way” has been a mainstay in alternative clubs for decades. Hearing the anthem live reaffirmed its pure pop majesty the textural and atmospheric mystique, the melodies of voice and instrument were clearly discernible. And the trio’s live, organic playing provided the magical space with some purposeful punctuation. Most crucially, though, a master plan was always evident. Unlike the impressionism of many of his peers, Portner’s music maintains a lens that, though otherworldly, is focused and up close. Even though the agony of having to wade through all the vague bullshit that Animal Collective’s wake kicked up for years has yet to fully heal, seeing it done by the original masters like this goes a good way toward restoring faith.

THE CHURCH, THE SOCIAL, APRIL 23

In a single masterstroke, the classic 1988 album Starfish delivered not one but two anthems – “Under the Milky Way” and “Reptile” – into the alternative music canon and etched the Church into its book of legends. Well, the 30th anniversary tour of that magnum opus

for the Australian alt gods has been such a big celebration that it’s now on its second American leg, which is catchier than saying 31st anniversary tour. This Orlando performance was a vivid live reminder of the Paisley Underground elegance of Starfish and why its mood and precision positioned the Church to break through from the college rock underground and penetrate the mainstream, if only briefly. The sparkling “Under the Milky Way” has been a mainstay in alternative clubs throughout the decades – in Orlando years that’s from Visage on through to Independent Bar. Hearing the song played live reaffirmed its timelessness. And though it didn’t soar nearly as high on stage as the heavens it attains on record, that famous bagpipe climax (which isn’t really bagpipes at all but an EBow effect, à la Big Country) is pure pop majesty. The sharper, edgier “Reptile” was the most charged moment of the evening on both the stage and the floor. Other shining moments like “Spark,” “Lost,” “North South East and West” and “Hotel Womb” were all proof of the album as a rich and rounded work. Age was a bit of a factor at times, as can be expected after more than three decades. But Starfish was played with fullness and fidelity. Because that record was such a standard-bearer for an exceptional chapter of music history, the nostalgia that rang in the hearts of this full house was deep, not cheap. Revisiting an old, beloved album is always a nice thing. When the original authors open up a live portal back to that place, however, that’s a waking dream. baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

Derby on Park EVENTS

It’s time to don your fanciest hat and most elegant outfit for this year’s Derby on Park, known as one of Orlando’s best Kentucky Derby experiences. Guests can expect nearly four hours of food, drinks and dancing to live music – along with the roughly two minutes of the actual horse race. Make sure to dress your best because you just might leave with an extra $1,000 in your pocket for it. Also, it’ll pay to get there early because the first 100 vehicles get complimentary valet parking, and the first 50 guests get a complimentary cigar. – Elizabeth Gondar 3:30 p.m. | University Club of Winter Park, 841 N. Park Ave., Winter Park | 407-896-7356 | cityofwinterpark.org | $69-$100

Saturday, May 4

Freak Shop EVENTS

Like an unholy combination of the annual Orlando Zine Fest and Punk Rock Flea Market and so much more, the debuting Freak Shop event (like the two aforementioned events, also outdoors at Will’s) is bursting with pure DIY potential and idealism. This is a formidable and free gathering of zine creators, artists, small record labels, artisans and clothiers from all across the state, with a plethora of different aesthetics but all bonded by a fiercely independent (punk, sure, but again more than that) ethos. Bring money, because the one-of-a-kind treasures and labors of love on offer will be plentiful. After the market proper, there will be an aftershow at Grumpy’s (not free, but a benefit show), featuring an equally feral gathering of noisemakers from up and down Florida, from Tampa to Tallahassee, along with stellar locals like the Nightmare and Red Rodeo. – Matthew Moyer 5 p.m. | Will’s Pub, 1042 N. Mills Ave. | willspub.org | free

OUR PICKS FOR THE BEST EVENTS THIS WEEK

It’s as if Tropicalia never existed – because for many people it never really did. If one has never heard the sound before, everything is new. David Byrne and Beck have dabbled in the sweet soulful moods of this perennial summertime groove, but Chicano Batman are the current ambassadors and stalwart chaps of laid-back South American cool. Their stylized charm isn’t a smarmy come-on, but a relaxing generosity marked by frozen fruit drinks poolside and the perfect breezy cloudless day. Skirting the lilting lines of lovers rock and neo-soul, this L.A. quartet traffics in motifs of love and loss without resorting to pastiche, serving a comforting michelada of Baja sunsets and mid-phrase knowing winks. A healthy dose of vintage 1960s guitar tones, á la Arthur Lee, fills out their sonic palette, shifting the band away from the yacht rock trappings that would maroon a lesser band. Chicano Batman is no novelty act. They are seriously concerned about you having some fun. They want you to enjoy the party and they know you are going to go home with them. – Anthony Mauss

Uncomfortable Brunch: The Brood FILM

The Uncomfortable Brunch crew doesn’t often program films that are actually considered part of the horror genre. They know that watching a pedophile in Todd Solondz’ Happiness or Dustin Hoffman lose his shit in Straw Dogs or Harmony Korine’s so-called movie Gummo is more likely to make you feel terrible than any amount of gore can. But this month, they’re showing an early work by a true horror legend, David Cronenberg. The Brood – released in 1979, just before the Canadian director would achieve international fame with the cult classic Scanners – is a prime example of “body horror,” featuring a disturbing take on childbirth and parenting that capitalizes on the fears of both those with kids and those without. Not particularly advised for those who are expecting, but let’s face it: You’re gonna see scarier shit real soon. Happy Mother’s Day! – Thaddeus McCollum 1 p.m. | Will’s Pub, 1042 N. Mills Ave. | willspub.org | $10-$12 Samantha Eggar in The Brood

Lucy Dacus MUSIC

Heavy is the head upon which rests the crown of buzz, but Richmond singersongwriter Lucy Dacus is clearly in this for the long haul, not for the clicks or likes. Dacus has a big voice, guitar chops for days, and a seemingly endless supply of elegant hooks and equally elegant lyrical turns of phrase, all evident from the moment she broke big in 2015 with the sardonic “I Don’t Wanna Be Funny Anymore.” From there, the momentum has been ever-increasing. Her second album, 2018’s Historian, on indie stalwart Matador, raked in critical plaudits across the pop-scribe spectrum. But Dacus isn’t resting on that hype; the prolific songwriter just launched a 2019 holiday song series, where she will release new songs and performances throughout the year to commemorate special days both large and small. (Valentine’s Day saw a cover of Edith Piaf’s “La Vie En Rose.”) We’re enthralled. And, as an added bonus, Mothers – who knocked out a packed house at Will’s last year – is the opener! – MM with Mothers | 7:30 p.m. | The Social, 54 N. Orange Ave. | 407-246-1419 | thesocial.org | $15

Larkin Poe MUSIC

Rebecca and Megan Lovell – the two sisters that front the blues rock quartet Larkin Poe – may look young, but they have more experience than some performers twice their age. As two-thirds of the bluegrass group the Lovell Sisters, Rebecca and Megan appeared on NPR’s A Prairie Home Companion, winning the Prairie Home National Teen Talent Competition and going on to win the John Lennon Songwriting Contest in 2008. After older sister Jessica decided to quit the band, Rebecca and Megan reformed as Larkin Poe – named after their great-great-great-great-grandfather, a cousin of Edgar Allan Poe. They have a near-encyclopedic knowledge of blues standards, which garnered them attention from granddad rockers like Bob Seger and Steven Tyler. Live, though, the combination of Rebecca’s soulful vocals and Megan’s stand-up lap steel rig feel immediate and visceral – anything but retro. – Thaddeus McCollum

B Y DA N S AVAG E

I’m a college prof. Several female students have confided in me they’re having trouble finding guys. (They’re not hitting on me – and even if they were, no way am I dating a student.) These girls are smart, nice, interesting and usually obese. You and I both know that in this imperfect world, many (most?) people place importance on looks. But how do I tell them that? A straight, single, male professor telling a female student, even gently, that dropping 20 pounds might help her dating prospects is extremely risky. Professionally Risky Observation Flummoxes

things to you about nonmonogamy and sexist/controlling things about “his woman” – it seems clear that your boyfriend wasn’t being sincere, he was being manipulative. DTMFA. This is another request for a kinky neologism. How about those of us who like the idea of our significant other having sex with somebody else but who aren’t into full-on cuckold-style humiliation? “Cuckold” implies a level of subordination that just isn’t my thing, and “hotwifing,” besides sounding incredibly sleazy, assumes that it’s a couple that is opposite-sex and married, and the guy is only interested in watching. Can you or the hive mind solve this problem? Cuck In Name Only

Oh my god. Keep your mouth shut. First, because it’s an asshole thing to say – never mind the professional risk – and second, because it’s not true. (Welcome to America, PROF, where most people are overweight or obese and most people are partnered or married.) The likelier culprit here (besides a skewed sample size and confirmation bias) is the scarcity of available male partners. Women now significantly outnumber men on college campuses: “Where men once went to college in proportions far higher than women – 58 percent to 42 percent as recently as the 1970s – the ratio has now almost exactly reversed,” Jon Marcus wrote in The Atlantic. Graduating will probably do more to improve their romantic prospects than dropping 20 pounds.

I don’t think the term “hotwifing” is inherently heterosexist, as there are gay men and straight women out there into “hothusbanding.” (They get off on sharing their hot spouses with others, aren’t necessarily interested in getting with anyone else themselves, and don’t, à la cuckolds, get off on humiliation.) But if that term doesn’t appeal to you, CINO, there’s already an alternative: stags (a man who may or may not be dominant who likes to share his partner and may or may not participate) and vixens (a woman who may or may not be submissive who enjoys having sex with others in front of her partner and may or may not share them with others too).

I’ve been with my boyfriend for a few months. Prior to dating, I was clear with him that I would need to open our relationship at some point. He initially hesitated to respond, but then agreed we could do that when the time came. That time has come much quicker than I anticipated, but I feel like he’ll renege on his end of things because of many comments he’s made recently – comments like not understanding or liking nonmonogamy and how “his woman” sleeping around is a deal-breaker. Is this a DTMFA situation? Specified Open Relationship Early

I’ve experienced anal itching in the past, and I’m not ashamed to say I enjoyed it. It felt so insanely good to satisfy that itching inside. I can find lots of information about relieving anal itching, but I can’t find anything about inducing it for pleasure. Into Tormenting Clean Heinie According to the Mayo Clinic, keeping your ass too clean or letting it get too dirty can induce anal itching, as can pinworms, diabetes and anal tumors. Seeing as you probably don’t want diabetes or rectal cancer, and since pinworms aren’t for sale at your local bait shop, ITCH, you could try scrubbing your ass with harsh soaps, which is what the Mayo Clinic urges people who don’t want itchy anuses to avoid. (I reversed engineered their advice for you. You’re welcome.) Good luck, and please don’t write back to let us know how you’re progressing, OK?

Early on, you let your boyfriend know that openness “at some point” was your price of admission, and now he’s letting you know that monogamy is his price of admission. What’s going on here? Well, sometimes Person A tells Person B what Person A knows Person B wants to hear regarding Topic X in the hopes that Person B will feel differently about Topic X after the passage of time or after Person B has made a large emotional investment in Person A. In many cases, Person A has the best intentions – by which I mean, Person A isn’t being consciously manipulative, but rather Person A sincerely hopes Person B will come to feel differently about Topic X or that they, Person A themselves, will. But considering how little time has passed, SORE – it hasn’t even been three months, and he’s saying shitty/judgy 50

I am a 24-year-old pansexual trans woman, and I feel sexually broken. Hormones have made it nearly impossible for me to top a partner. I’m able to do it once in a while, but not as much or as reliably as I would like. Additionally, hormones have messed up my digestive system and made bottoming difficult. I’m also relatively sexually inexperienced, which means I’m enthusiastic about ●

“QUICKIES”

oral but not very good at it. This leaves me feeling like I bring nothing to the table. Horny But Sex Is Thorny Getting good at oral, like getting good at anything, takes a little practice. Let your prospective partners know you’re relatively inexperienced, and you’ll be far likelier to wind up in bed with patient and supportive people who will let you practice on them. As for bottoming, hopefully your guts will settle down in time. As for topping, well, lots of women use strap-on dildos for penetration. Having a strap-on at the ready and actively seeking out partners who don’t regard strap-on sex as a consolation prize (or a fail) will allow you to experiment with penetration without the pressure of having to produce or sustain an erection. You can switch back and forth between your dick and the dildo as needed, and being able to make it happen for your lover – using whatever tools you need – will build your confidence. And you’re not broken, HBSIT. You’re a work in progress, like all of us. Good luck. I recently broke up with a girl because she didn’t know what plate tectonics was. We dated for three months. Great sex! Loved cooking together! Enjoyed spending time with her! But she was raised Mormon – and more important than that, she was simply NOT CURIOUS about science and the world. In all honesty, I think she’s a little dumb, although she doesn’t come off that way. Science! Politics! Philosophy! All of these things are important in my life! Am I wrong for breaking up with her? Date Tectonics No! You did her a favor! I knew nothing about classical music before I fell in love with someone who’s passionate about classical music. I know a lot about it now and I actually enjoy it – but I didn’t get there in three months. My husband didn’t follow the news closely until he fell in love with a news junkie. Now he’s a daily reader of the New York Times and the Washington Post – but he didn’t get there in three months. The more time we spent together, the more interest we took in each other’s interests. There’s a lesson in here for you somewhere, DT, but I’m going to let you tease it out – because you’re CURIOUS and SMART, right? On the Lovecast, Dan interviews sociologist and author Nicholas A.
