Readers react to stories from last week. Last week, we reported that a fourth-grade teacher in Pinellas County was arrested for bringing a loaded handgun and two knives to school with her. When officers asked why she had the weapons in her backpack, the teacher reportedly replied, “Ask DeSantis.” Earlier this month, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill that will increase the number of teachers able to carry concealed weapons on school campuses. The teacher had a concealed carry permit, but such permits do not extend onto school property. @Jim Scott Isn’t that what gun rights activists want? Isn’t she just a good girl with a gun? @Ramses Tinoco Teachers and schools will need approval from the school district, 144 hours of police training and psychological evaluation, and drug screening! Also this don’t go on effect until Oct. 1. And some counties aren’t arming their teachers. Pinellas and Hillsborough aren’t participating in this law.
classroom, that’s an issue for me. Teachers are not saints or police officers. I’ve seen plenty of crazy teachers! I’m glad she was arrested and fired! The school must protect our children from EVERY crazy person including some so-called teachers. @Sean Goldenberg Sounds like she was just a prepared citizen. I would feel safer if my child’s teacher was armed. An armed citizen is the first line of defense in any situation. A lot can happen in the 10 minutes it takes a cop to get there. @Mary Lou Love all these ill informed people trying to defend someone who BROKE THE LAW. Sounded like she was the one who needed stopping. An employee with a vendetta against those who were not going to rehire her next year.
@Vicki Cicolari Well, you wanted armed teachers! Geez you act like something will go wrong.
@Brianna Rivera I am 50/50 on this. I have seen so many viral videos of teachers that lose their cool and actually get full on physical fist fights with students … could you imagine if those teachers had a gun? Then again, the extra protection for our kids is warranted. Safeguards and selection of which teachers are given this extra duty is extremely important.

NOTHING’S SHOCKING We roll our eyes at the stupidity of it all, and then Trump says something really dangerous and we miss it BY JEFFREY C. BILL M A N
It’s difficult to be shocked him. His approval is stuck at 41%. He’s when everything’s shocking. We’re now 28 months and one week into Donald Trump’s presidency – 28 months and one week of perpetual chaos and scandal and outrage, of incompetence and criminality and cruelty – and the thing that bothers me most and that I find most dangerous is how normal it all seems, how routine and quotidian, like this is just politics now. Maybe this is how politics has always been. That’s not accurate, of course. Politics is different now than it was a generation ago or a decade ago. We’re polarized. We live in cultural and informational bubbles. We filter out things we don’t want to hear. This is true of all of us, but it’s especially the case on the right, which prizes preserving social order over the bedlam of change. This makes conservatives vulnerable to conspiracy theories (e.g., Obama’s birth certificate), populist fearmongering (e.g., migrant caravans are invaders) and appeals to authoritarianism (e.g., “I alone can fix it”). But it also enables them to dismiss dissonant information as elitist attacks on their leader and, consequently, his voters – “them.” And so, as Stephen Colbert put it, reality ends up having a liberal bias. This isn’t incidental to Trump’s political success. He didn’t create the dynamic, but he’s capitalized on it. He admitted as much to 60 Minutes correspondent Lesley Stahl, whom he reportedly told, “I [complain about fake news] to discredit you all and demean you all, so when you write negative stories about me no one will believe you.” On Twitter, he equates negative reporting to “fake” reporting. His supporters believe him, even when the truth is so plain to everyone else. Day after day, week after week, you can point out how objectively awful and mendacious Trump’s administration has been – by standards historical and contemporary, moral and empirical – but you’re just screaming into the void. That’s not to say America has embraced
remarkably unpopular for presiding over this good an economy, so reviled that he could plausibly lose re-election with unemployment at 4% and GDP hovering around 3%. That’s not supposed to happen. But it is to say that the things that should have the nation enraged, the things that ousted Nixon, have become little more than background noise, just Trump being Trump. Sure, you could waste your breath pointing out how obscene it is, how destructive to our democratic institutions, but what’s the point? Trump has become normal. Case in point: The White House has given the finger to any semblance of congressional oversight, especially since the release of the Mueller report (which Trump’s toady of an attorney general, Bill Barr, lied about for a month). It’s fought the release of Trump’s financial records under laughable legal pretenses, blocked witnesses from testifying, and dismissed all of these efforts as illegitimate. On Wednesday, Trump was supposed to have a meeting with Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer to discuss an infrastructure bill, but moments earlier, Pelosi said that Trump was “engaged in a cover-up” by defying congressional subpoenas. So Trump went to the meeting, then stormed out in a huff a few minutes later while Pelosi was talking. He then held a brief press conference in the Rose Garden, where – conveniently – there was already a sign on the podium reading “NO COLLUSION, NO OBSTRUCTION” and had what Pelosi later described as a “temper tantrum”: “I am the most transparent president probably in American history,” he lied. He called the Russia investigation “a takedown attempt of the president of the United States,” though it sent his former campaign manager and fixer to prison. He said he doesn’t “do cover-ups,” though he paid women to keep quiet about their alleged affairs. And then he said that he wouldn’t deal with Congress until
Democrats called off the “phony investigations.” (The next day, he agreed to a disaster-relief package that didn’t include border-wall funding anyway.) It devolved from there. Trump – who presumably has a busy schedule – tweeted 18 times that day. He began at 7 a.m. by complaining that the “illegal witch hunt” hurt his poll numbers, then bragged about the wall, then complained about congressional investigations. Then he went to the meeting with Schumer and Pelosi, held the press conference and got back on Twitter: witch hunt, Democrats want a do-over, he’s the best president ever – brief pause for an awards ceremony – no temper tantrum (shut up Nancy Pelosi), Democrats suck, criminal conspiracy against him. It continued on Thursday: Democrats suck, they want a do-over, Rex Tillerson is “dumb as a rock” and was “totally ill prepared and ill equipped to be Secretary of State” when Trump nominated him – kind of a self-own, no? – he was very calm yesterday, etc. That afternoon, he had a parade of staffers tell the media – for seven very awkward minutes – how he was so very, very calm in his meeting with Democrats (Shut. Up. Nancy. Pelosi.). All of this is cringe-worthy. Amusing, even – fodder for a John Oliver bit – at least to those of us who already think the guy is an oaf. But we don’t see these meltdowns as particularly newsworthy anymore. They happen too frequently. We just roll our eyes at the stupidity of it all. And then Trump says something really dangerous, and we miss it. Two weeks ago, Trump tweeted that his campaign was “conclusively spied on” (false). “TREASON means long jail sentences, and this was TREASON!” Asked Thursday who committed treason, Trump named FBI officials who investigated him: James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Lisa Page, Peter Strzok. Dismiss this, too, as the president being clueless. He is. But he also thinks his enemies – FBI agents, Democrats, perhaps the media – should be imprisoned. And, as he told a “lock-them-up”-chanting crowd in Pennsylvania last week, “We have a great new attorney general who will give it a very fair look.” Imagine what you’d think about that if you took Trump seriously. At some point, maybe we should. feedback@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

Disney workers are now eligible to attend UCF for free, state sheriffs sign on to help ICE catch undocumented immigrants, and other news you may have missed last week. »
Data says houses are more valuable in Orlando’s gay neighborhoods: The value of a home in Audubon Park and Coytown, which
have Orlando’s highest rates of same-sex households, is about 27% higher than the rest of the area, according to the American Community Survey. Nationwide, homes in “gayborhoods” tend to be more expensive. The home value in Cleveland’s Riverside neighborhood is 293.9% higher than that of nearby neighborhoods, 173.7% higher in Houston’s Neartown-Montrose, and 233% higher in West Palm Springs than in the surrounding Riverside Metro area.

Gov. Ron DeSantis announces election security review after learning of Russian breaches: Gov. Ron DeSantis is calling for a review of
state election systems following the FBI’s disclosure that Russia successfully hacked two Florida counties in 2016. The FBI believes hackers breached the counties’ election data after they sent more than 120 “spearphishing” emails to county election officials ahead of the 2016 election. In a closed-door meeting, the FBI relayed the information they obtained through the investigation to DeSantis, U.S. Sen. Rick Scott, and the Florida congressional delegation, though the officials aren’t allowed to disclose to the public which counties were involved.

Florida has one of the highest uninsured rates for women of child-bearing age: Failure to expand Medicaid in Florida means Florida has one
of the highest uninsured rates for women of child-bearing age, according to a report by Georgetown University. It says Medicaid expansion is helping to fill gaps in maternal health coverage, which can lead to healthier mothers and babies. A growing numbers of women of reproductive age are unable to take care of themselves prior to pregnancy and a couple months after birth, when they typically lose gap coverage. The uninsured rate for these women is 19% in Florida, compared with the 9% average in states that have expanded Medicaid.

Leave it to Florida Republican Dennis Baxley to find an incredibly racist reason to ban abortions: While speaking last Friday on WLRN’s “The Florida Round-Up” program, the Ocala Republican stated that he would 100% support a Florida version of Alabama’s new anti-abortion laws, because access to abortion is “deteriorating the fabric of society” and has an economic and demographic impact. “When you get a birth rate less than 2 percent, that society is disappearing,” Baxley said. “And it’s being replaced by folks that come behind them and immigrate, don’t wish to assimilate into that society and they do believe in having children.” Baxley is also author of Florida’s 2005 Stand Your Ground law.

BLOOD ON THE PRESS The terrible true story of the Orlando Sentinel’s involvement in the Groveland Four shootings, and how it apologized 70 years later BY MA RK I. P INSKY
O
ver the past century and more, white-owned newspapers across the South published racist editorials and reporting that inflamed mobs in cities like Wilmington, North Carolina; Atlanta, and Tulsa, Oklahoma, to go on rampages that cost the lives of hundreds of African Americans. Others incited lynchings, and justified – even congratulated – the mobs that carried them out. A handful of these newspapers, those with blood on their presses, have written apologies for their historic roles in inciting racist violence. Other papers have folded, too late for apologies. And some are still making up their minds. The Orlando Sentinel, for example, has yet to take responsibility for its disgraceful, distorted coverage of the events of Election Day 1920 in Ocoee, when a black man, Mose Norman, was blocked from voting in that city. He was sheltered by another black Ocoee resident, Julius “July” Perry, who fought off a white mob that fired into his home. Perry was arrested and later taken
from his cell in the Orange County Jail and lynched. A white mob proceeded to kill an estimated 50 black residents and burned two dozen of their homes, several churches and a lodge meeting hall. Those remaining were driven from Ocoee, not to return for 60 years. However, the Sentinel described this rampage as a “race riot” and reported the story under the headline “Race trouble at Ocoee claims 2 white victims.” Those other 50 or so victims didn’t rate a mention at the top of the column. Writing about the incident years later, Eatonville’s Zora Neale Hurston described it as what it was: a “massacre.” But there’s another civil rights incident for which the Sentinel has acknowledged only part of its involvement – its coverage of the Groveland Four. The Sentinel was at the center of the infamous 1949 case in which four young black men were wrongly accused of raping a young white woman in Lake County. A front-page cartoon run by the Sentinel just
as a grand jury was convening featured a drawing of four empty electric chairs, under the headline, “No Compromise!” One of the four young Groveland men ran and was murdered by a posse led by the notoriously racist sheriff of Lake County, Willis McCall, before he could be tried. Two of the others were sentenced to death, and one to life in prison. Their lawyer, future U.S. Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, appealed the sentences, and as the three survivors were being transported to court for that appeal by McCall, he shot two of them, killing one. A new half-hour film titled The Groveland Four screened downtown last week as part of the 2019 Orlando Urban Film Festival, in conjunction with UCF’s Center for Emerging Media. The 30-minute docudrama was produced, directed and financed by Florence Alexander, a Longwood management consultant and entrepreneur.

T. Moore Story, a 90-minute film for which she says put up a million dollars of her own money. Much of that documentary was shot and produced on Alexander’s Sweetwater estate. It is based on her paperback book of the same name about the civil rights leader who was killed, with his wife, in a still-unsolved Klan bombing in 1951 as they slept in their Mims home. An earlier 90-minute documentary, based on Gary Corsair’s 2004 book, Legal Lynching: The Sad Saga of the Groveland Four, aired nationally on PBS in June 2018, and also focused on the Sentinel’s inflammatory coverage. Yet a third screen version has been optioned by Amazon Studios, based on Gilbert King’s Pulitzer Prizewinning 2013 book, Devil in the Grove: Thurgood Marshall, the Groveland Boys, and the Dawn of a New America. On Jan. 6 of this year, following expressions of regret by the state Legislature and the cabinet, the Orlando Sentinel published a heartfelt – if much-belated – apology for its racist news and cartoon coverage of the Groveland Four, largely in reaction King’s book. “We’re sorry for the Orlando Sentinel’s role in this injustice,” they wrote. “We’re sorry that the newspaper at the time did between little and nothing to seek the truth. We’re sorry that our coverage of the event and its aftermath lent credibility to the cover-up and the official, racist narrative. “We’re sorry that reporters and editors failed in our duty to readers, to the community and to the Groveland Four and their families.” The paper’s coverage was so egregious that it merited a rebuke from U.S. Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Jackson, in his 1951 decision to overturn the Groveland convictions. “Newspapers, in the enjoyment of their Constitutional rights,” he wrote, “may not deprive accused persons of their right to a fair trial … (S)uch a crime stirred deep feeling and was exploited to the limit by the press.” Taking responsibility for long-ago acts can be ethically problematic, especially when they are incomplete. Hindsight conveniently cedes the moral high ground, without consequence, to contemporary apologists. Still, history has its claims, and there was one conspicuous gap in the Sentinel’s mea culpa. During the Groveland controversy, Martin Andersen, the newspaper’s then-owner and publisher, left no doubt about his feelings on reconsidering the Groveland Four case, according to King’s book.

The paper’s 1986 obituary for Andersen described him as “a near-penniless high school dropout who rose to change the face of Central Florida as the crusading editor-owner of the Orlando Sentinel … His influence in the development of the area deemed equaled by no other.” Sadly, that influence was used to air his repulsive views in the pages of the Sentinel. While the sentences of the three surviving members of the Groveland Four were under appeal, Andersen used his bully pulpit to proclaim: “A few smart lawyers who are agents of different organizations seek to hamper justice through the employment of legal technicalities. They may bring suffering to many innocent Negroes.” It was after this was published, before a new trial could take place, that Sheriff McCall shot two of those survivors, leaving one dead and another gravely wounded. Yet, conspicuously, Andersen’s role was not mentioned in the Sentinel’s apology. The Sentinel needn’t have waited quite so long to address its failings in the Groveland case. In a Feb. 9, 2016, guest column in the paper, former Orange County Mayor Linda Chapin recalled a letter sent to the Sentinel’s editor years earlier from the late Orlando attorney Alex Akerman Jr. In it, Chapin compared Akerman to Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird
and recalled how ill-treated he was by the newspaper. The son of a federal judge and the grandson of a U.S. attorney general, and himself a pillar of the local establishment, Akerman reluctantly agreed to join Thurgood Marshall in defending the Groveland Four. A former Republican state legislator and 1948 national convention delegate, Akerman aspired to a career in public service. But, Chapin wrote, as a result of his treatment by the Sentinel, “his political future in ruins and his legal practice and reputation damaged by his role in the Groveland case, (he) moved to Virginia.” In the mid-1950s, Chapin recalled, Akerman wrote to the Sentinel Morning News: “Someday, God willing, the true facts of the Groveland case will be unearthed and brought to light. It is my firm belief that when this occasion does arise that even your editorial writers will no longer condemn but will respect me for my activities in this case.” Someday, Akerman may get that apology.

NOISES OFF
Ted and Vickie Miller were living on a small piece of personal paradise in rural Lake County. Then a corporate medical marijuana farm moved in next door. BY XANDER P ETERS
T
he noise started on an early morning in February, as Ted and Vickie Miller were sound asleep and snoring in the confines of their farm-style home off County Road 44A in Eustis. It sounded like an engine cranking up at first. Ted sat up in bed, confused and panicked, with that feeling of going from unconscious to incensed in a matter of seconds. “What are you doing?” Vickie asked him.

“I think somebody’s stealing my tractor,” Ted told her, leaping from between the sheets to grab one of his rifles and run outside to the back porch. The backyard, however, was dark. Ted’s equipment was undisturbed. But the noise hadn’t stopped. “What the hell?” Ted wondered aloud, as he peered into the dark, dense woods behind their five-acre plot of land, where they’ve lived for 29 years. He could smell
ORLANDO WEEKLY ● MAY 29-JUNE 4, 2019 ● orlandoweekly.com

the skunk-like aroma of cannabis wafting through the air. That’s when it struck him: The noise – the low-hum buzzing, like a gasolinepowered generator humming around the corner, like the sound of a jet engine that’s idling on a taxiway – was coming from the weed farm next door. That was four months ago. The noise hasn’t stopped since. The smell of cannabis coming from the facility is something they can deal with, the Millers say. Though they lean socially conservative in most respects and claim they’re not recreational marijuana users, Ted and Vickie acknowledge the importance of the state’s medical marijuana program for patients who need it. They also claim to have had no problem with the previous owners of the cannabis cultivation facility next door, the Treadwell Nursery, which used open-air greenhouses and fans – which aren’t noisy – and was owned by family members. That changed when California-based company MedMen bought the Treadwell Nursery in September. The company revamped the facility with massive cli-
mate-controlled Dutch-style greenhouses that reduce humidity levels and produce a higher-quality, healthier product. And when MedMen cranked up the dehumidifiers on that morning in February, that’s when the trouble started. It’s not just the noise, either, the Millers say. Bright lights from the facility shine onto the front of their property and onto some of their neighbors’ properties. Freight truck traffic on what used to be a quiet country road has increased significantly in recent months, which the Millers say worries their neighbors with children who ride the school bus. However, the Millers claim the main problem is that the nursery property is zoned as agricultural, meaning it’s exempt from noise ordinances, but the equipment MedMen is using is industrial. They say that’s not fair. The entire experience has inspired the Millers and their neighbors to form a small coalition of pissed-off citizens, clad in “Stop the Noise” T-shirts. In April, the coalition of County Road 44A neighbors and Lake County Commissioner Leslie Campione met at
the Miller’s residence to discuss concerns. To date, though, efforts at the county level have remained largely unsuccessful. A county-led “workshop” to address the matter is tentatively set for July 30, Lake County representative Tiffany Henderson tells Orlando Weekly. “Until the Board of County Commissioners provides direction, it’s hard to say what changes, if any, might be made,” Henderson says. Ted says, “The county’s scared of them because this is a multimillion-dollar company, and the county’s worried that they’re gonna sue them. They told us that.” He also claims the county advised him to seek legal counsel. To which he says he replied, “‘Do you know how long it would take [MedMen] to bankrupt me? A month!’ I’d be in a hole. You know what I mean?” Vickie says she was skeptical of the company from the beginning. “I did say to my husband when this is all started, ‘This is not going to be good for us.’ And he said, ‘Oh, don’t worry about it. It’s [your cousin] Glenn [Treadwell] and them – everything’s fine,’” Vickie says. “And everything was fine until [MedMen] took over.” “This is big business. This ain’t your mom-and-pop shop,” Ted adds. “And that’s the whole thing we’re fighting, because this is industrial.” Vickie pulls out her phone and opens an app that measures decibel levels. With only the noise of the facility humming in the background, it registers at 73 decibels – the near equivalent to a passenger car passing you by at 65 mph from 25 feet away, according to a study by the Temple University Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. If you look beyond the barbed wire fence separating the Millers’ and MedMen’s property, you’ll see several of the facility’s industrial-size dehumidifier’s vent-heads sticking out from atop the building. Ted squints his bright blue eyes and points. “You see the very top of the silver-looking thing over the building right there?” Ted says. “They’ve got six of them big jokers and they’ve only got two or three of them running right now. ... To hear this 24 hours a day, it’s crazy.” (MedMen later explained to Orlando Weekly that the individual dehumidifiers are designed to cut on and off as needed, but the system is always on.) Since the Miller family and their neighbors first started complaining about the noise several months ago, Nick Hansen, the regional director of government affairs for MedMen, says the company has undertaken various efforts to alleviate their concerns.
“The first thing we did was to install silencers on the dehumidifiers that were the main source of noise. We have begun to erect sound-blocking walls. Additionally, we have identified several measures to further reduce noise,” Hansen says. “We expect the work be completed by early June.” Hansen says the company is in the process of erecting more sound-proof fencing along the facility’s south end, which should also help with the noise, as well as large wooden fences around some of the operation’s air chillers that feed into the grow houses. They’ve even gone as far as to wrap the AC units, Hansen says. Who is MedMen anyway? The company has posted higher sales numbers than some of the nation’s largest corporations – according to sales per square foot, MedMen’s California stores raked in more than Apple’s last year. The company recently started their own magazine called EMBER, introduced a private-label brand called Statemade and convinced Spike Jonze to star in one of their ads. And in this time, MedMen has ramped up its production, opening
dispensaries throughout the six states in which they’re currently operational, according to the company’s website. “They were banking on Florida,” Vickie says, referring to the possibility of the state eventually legalizing adult-use recreational cannabis. “And we all know it’s going recreational,” Ted says. Sitting at a wooden picnic table outside their home, underneath the wide limbs of a large oak tree, Ted points to the branches. He says he planted the tree nearly 30 years ago, when he and Vickie first moved onto the property. “We’ve worked our whole life for this place. It’s paid for; we don’t owe anybody nothing,” Ted says and sighs. “They destroyed my dream.” It’s what they were supposed to leave their children someday, Vickie adds. “His mom passed away here. My mom passed away here,” she says. “Of anywhere I’ve ever been, this is my home.” Ted claims MedMen offered them $150,000 for both their five-acre property and their roughly 2,400-square-foot home. According to a Zillow estimate, the
property is worth more than twice that amount. Ted says it felt like a slap in the face. (Asked to comment on this, Hansen replies, “We don’t discuss any negotiations on real estate between parties.”) “I said, ‘You tell that guy he better be glad his ass wasn’t standing in front of me or I would’ve punched him in the face,’” Ted says of the original offer. “Offer me $150,000 for everything I’ve worked for all my life, you’ve got to be kidding me.” Ted worries about how far their fight with MedMen will go. He says he has dreams sometimes – more like nightmares – in which he takes out all his anger on the company. He does this in smaller ways in real life, too, such as when he burns leaves close to the property line so the smoke drifts toward the facility. It’s the little things that help him get through the process, he says. He says he never even raked the yard before this. He laughs. “I told my wife, ‘If I ever do snap, they’re gonna have to kill me in my yard because I’m not gonna go to jail for this shit,’” Ted says. “This is my home.” xpeters@orlandoweekly.com

The new Flying Horse Editions studio space is awash with natural light
PRESS PLAY
Flying Horse Studio hits fast-forward on the settling-in process, finding its feet in the new UCF downtown campus BY RICHA RD REEP
D
owntown Orlando hums with restaurants and bars and a nice artsy vibe, with residential towers popping up all around. There is one swath of downtown which might be mistaken for 1945 Berlin, but that’s just our very own I-4 Ultimate Project, folks – and it’s worth it to wade through the rubble to see what’s on the other side. Indeed, there is something to see: In March, Flying Horse Editions moved out of the innards of the UCF Center for Digital Media, opening a sidewalk location on Amelia Street just west of I-4. Suddenly the 20
university’s presence downtown is real. “We like it here and look forward to settling in,” director Theo Lotz says as he gives Orlando Weekly a tour of the new space. “We are open to the public. We don’t get a lot of visitors, which is fine because we have a small staff.” Flying Horse Editions is the printmaking studio arm of the UCF College of Visual Arts. To reach it from the Lynx Station, follow Amelia Street, emerging on a beautifully oak-shaded sidewalk fronted by the neobrutalist Centroplex Garage. Flying Horse Editions occupies this

storefront space, a surprising oasis of calm in the city’s sizzling energy. In the large windows along the sidewalk, Lotz showcases his studio’s gallery and press under the trees’ shadowy canopy. When UCF’s Center for Digital Media expanded, Lotz took the chance to consolidate a rather haphazard warren of studios and offices. The university is growing its presence downtown, and Flying Horse is growing as well. Now, unified into a single space, Flying Horse is able to crystallize its identity. “We’re a collaborative research studio,” Lotz explains. Flying Horse invites artists to create limited-edition prints, books and other objects, and pairs them with UCF student assistants who operate the presses and otherwise help with the production of art. “Will Cotton sat there,” Lotz gestures at a table in the window, recounting one of the well-known painter’s visits to Flying Horse. “As he sketched, a guy started coming by daily on the sidewalk, peering in. Cotton would hold up his sketch and the guy would give it a thumbs-up or clap.”

The clean, open studio lends itself to all sorts of collaborative creativity and Lotz, as the director, encourages more. “We like to help artists push themselves and their work into experimental places,” he says. Alex Dodge, based in Brooklyn, New York, is one such artist. With a practice that encompasses 3D modeling and computer-generated imagery ideas, Dodge came to Flying Horse and stepped out of his usual boundaries, producing a series of gorgeously embossed sheet-aluminum prints, surrealistic images of crumpled dollar bills and gift-wrap. “He pushed us all. We learned a lot about aluminum alloys,” Lotz chuckles. Some of the work hangs in the press’ front gallery, visible from the street. Huge cast-iron presses inhabit the studio. Their mirrorfinish drums contrast with the blackened ironmongery of curved struts, wheels and levers reeking of the Mechanical Age of print. In the rear, a hydraulic press the size of a fire truck occupies a corner. Alongside sit light tables, a darkroom and lithography stones – “In fact, we have a lithography stone from Bavaria, one of the last ones left of this large size,” Lotz brags – and a book press sits in the
lobby, which Lotz assures us is fully functional. The studio is so new it hasn’t acquired the kind of messy, layer-over-layer feeling of being lived-in … yet. Flying Horse Editions is one of the few working art presses still in existence. Through a passionate following of collectors, it thrives by putting out a series of limited runs for subscribers each year. It puts the lie to any rumor that print is dead. Print is very much alive, here and now, in this space. As is this corner of the city, with UCF’s new campus settling in. It’s not just the mix of students and businesspeople, or the mix of late-evening campus activity within the 9-to-5 bustle. It’s the potential that UCF brings to downtown Orlando: a student culture enriching the atmosphere like Stetson does for DeLand, NYU does for the Village, or the University of California does for Berkeley. The time-machine effect of students and artists working on these magnificent, muscular printmaking machines in our contemporary city is something unique in Orlando, and suggests a change in our city for the better.

MEX YOU UP
Coco celebrates regional Mexican fare in upscale fashion BY FAIYAZ KARA
W
hen you watch the buck of bad luck get passed this many times at Suite 104 of 100 S. Eola Drive, you can’t help but think that only a Starbucks or a clothing-optional kombucha bar could put the space out of its misery. It’s a cursed location, we all know it – just ask the luckless proprietors of the sinceshuttered Fifi’s Patisserie, Sanctuary Diner, Nick’s Italian Kitchen and Gaviota Seafood & Fine Peruvian Cuisine. But try telling that to Oudum Ketsatha. The man took over Suite 105 – the equally jinxed space next door – for his eponymous Thai restaurant, and it’s still kicking around after almost four years. In Coco Cocina – a Mexican concept that, much like Oudom’s Thai & Sushi, banks on popular and populist cuisine – he lets luck ride. Possibly pressing it. Maybe pushing it. If Ketsatha’s a hostage to fortune, he’s got a Mexican chef, German Garcia, in the kitchen to hedge his bet and, perhaps, skirt any potential questions of “authenticity,” because questions there are. “So you make your tortillas in house?” I asked, expecting a paraphrase of the heartening story on the menu about how their masa “starts its journey in Mexico” and is made from “heirloom corn” grown on “family farms” which Coco then “cook and grinds” in-house to give us “a taste of this
treasured tradition.” “Oh no, we go through way too many tacos to make them in house,” was the unexpectedly candid response. Well, Team Coco, which is it? I mean either way, they’re decent – enjoyable even, when they’re folded around guacamole and grasshoppers sautéed with shallots and tequila ($11). What’s that? Yeah, the chapulines lend an inimitable arthropodic crunch to the pair of otherwise creamy tacos which, much like the ones with tequila-marinated cactus worms ($11), aren’t much touted by Coco’s servers. Go figure. The suadero ($9), as chilango a taco as it gets, most definitely does get the push, possibly at the behest of Garcia, who undoubtedly grew up eating them in his native Mexico City. But this unusual beef cut – braised, roasted and grilled – arrives in a more, umm, Sonoran state. As dry as the suadero is, the esquites ($8) is unduly drippy and the flavors watered down, literally. The corn should’ve been sweeter
– ’tis the season, after all – and any discernible notes of spice, smoke and tang aren’t nearly inciting enough. Clearly someone neglected to make an offering to Cinteotl. At least the space itself stirs the senses. It’s fetching, and always has been, Pixarish Day of the Dead mural and all. Only after forking into a tamal de mole poblano ($11), immaculately folded in a banana leaf exposing a nabla of sesame-seeded sauce and plantains, did I make the connection to Disney’s Coco. Duh. A few too many $4 margaritas, perhaps? Their quality and price had me wondering why the place wasn’t packed like the Stubborn Mule next door. Maybe the Mule has better hangover options, I thought, after sampling the chilaquiles verde ($10) for brunch. Theirs is a high-street Mexico City version made from chips instead of thicker-cut tortillas, an assemblage resembling nachos more than the peasant dish it usually is – a saucy mess of alcohol-soaking comfort. No, fulfillment came in the bracing aguachile negro ($14), a ceviche of red snapper, avocado, sweet mandarins and charred onions, all detonated by slivers of habanero. Take your chances with this one; I certainly would, again and again. And do so while you can – at 100 S. Eola Drive, Suite 104, the specter of that curse looms large. fkara@orlandoweekly.com

FOOD GROWING EVERYWHERE!
Hi Folks, My name is Jim Gale and I’ve got a story to tell. It’s a story that will inspire and empower you to become a producer of food, water and energy and not just a consumer. My journey towards understanding the concept or Permaculture (which means Sustainable culture), and the repercussions of “Unsustainable” started back in 2006. I had sold my company in the US and moved to Costa Rica where I decided to try my hand at developing. My first development piece was a 280 acre cattle pasture, a burnt out, biological desert. My vision was to turn it green again, lining the fairways with thousands of fruit trees. Yes a golf course! The first thing we built was a fruit tree nursery and things were going well. After six months of developing, I started hearing of disapproval and wicked rumors. I traced the source of these rumors to a small group of impassioned environmentalists who hated-in their own words-developers. I was hurt, confused and a little bit angry, but the last thing I wanted was a fight on foreign soil. So, I responded by inviting them to my office and I sincerely wanted to hear their point of view. In fact, I was a bit naïve and intent on turning them in to allies by explaining my vision. Long story short, I failed to win their hearts, but after wiping away the blood and tears, a word stood out… What the heck is “Permaculture”? Growing up, my friends teasingly called me “nature boy” because I was always playing with nature. My favorite TV show growing up was Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom. So when I heard of the concept of “Permaculture”, I was immediately intrigued. I’ve been studying and practicing-planting over 4,000 fruit trees-ever since. And not just studying, but studying with a specific and inspiring intention: To bring these concepts to the masses via an innovative business. Aka. Ecopreneurship! WHY? I’m the father of 4 beautiful girls and what
I learned about the use of poisons to grow food, about the unsustainable harvesting of forests and mining of soil, quite frankly scared the #$%# out of me. What happens to unsustainable systems? They fail. When the USSR collapsed in the late 80s, the people of Cuba went hungry. Now-a-days in Havana, 90% of the city’s fresh produce comes from local urban farmers. Right now, Venezuela, a formerly rich culture is devastated and people are going hungry. Throughout history, people have starved because they’ve counted on the Government and producers, sometimes thousands of miles away to provide for their basic needs. “Someday we shall look back on this dark era of agriculture and shake our heads. How could we have ever believed that it was a good idea to grow our food with poisons?” Jane Goodall, Harvest for Hope: A Guide to Mindful Eating If we demonstrate to you that being a producer can be fun, easy and provide a healthy ROI, while ensuring a sustainable and abundant future for YOUR grandkids and beyond, then would you be eager to be a producer with us, instead of only a consumer? Of course you would! “Though the problems of the world are increasingly complex, the solutions remain embarrassingly simple”. Bill Mollison (the
father of Permaculture) Gale is the Founder Mobile Greens – Empowered Homes, a franchise dedicated to empowering individuals, families and society by providing the tools, education and inspiration to become producers instead of only being consumers. The MGEH give back is Food Forests Everywhere. Some of the profits from every franchise will go to plant edible landscapes in public locations. When it comes to sustainable food, fruit trees are the lowest hanging fruit. It takes relatively little energy = (time + money) to get a fruit tree started which will produce a yield for generations to come. Over the past several years, Gale and his team have developed a strategy to rapidly scale, via Franchising, the vision of A sustainable society for our grandkids and beyond. People will learn about the financial benefits, the health benefits and how easy it is to produce food, water and energy at home. The products for demonstration and sale will include: CBDs, Essential Oils, Atmospheric Water Solutions, Residential Solar, Commercial Solar with a specialty in Car Ports, Hydroponics growing systems and more. The franchise comes in two versions:

Michael Sheen and David Tennant in Good Omens PHOTO COURTESY OF AMAZON STUDIOS
DEVILISHLY GOOD Good Omens is a faithful adaptation of the cult favorite novel, for better and worse BY T HA DDEUS MCCOL LU M
A
dapting books for film and television is a tricky business. You have to balance the expectations of fans of the book with those of an audience who isn’t familiar with the material. By satisfying one, you risk alienating the other. (And it’s still possible to satisfy neither, am I right, Game of Thrones?) Good Omens, the new Amazon miniseries based on a beloved comedy-fantasy book by genre luminaries Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, definitely errs toward satisfying lovers of the original material, but thankfully, that material was already really strong to begin with. The miniseries follows the story of an angel, Aziraphale (Michael Sheen), and a demon, Crowley (David Tennant), who strike up an odd friendship in the Garden of Eden. They both become so enamored of earthly delights – for Aziraphale, this means haute cuisine and musty bookshops; for Crowley, rock & roll and fast cars – that when the End Times begin, they try to sabotage the chain of events to have some more time with sushi and Queen. Central to that chain of events is figuring out where
the Antichrist is. Due to a wacky mix-up situation at a Satanic convent – yes, it’s that kind of story – the Antichrist is not placed with the family of a U.S. diplomat, but with a suburban, middle-class British family. Thrown into the mix are a misguided witch hunter (Michael McKean, speaking with a literally unbelievable Scottish accent); his hapless apprentice, Newton Pulsifer (Jack Whitehall); a young witch, Anathema Device (Adria Arjona) and a book of accurate, but oddly specific, prophecies written by Device’s ancestor. There seems to be a lot of love for the original novel in the miniseries, which makes sense considering Gaiman himself is credited with the screenplay. (Pratchett, unfortunately, died in 2015.) Sheen and Tennant are an absolute delight in their roles as the central odd couple, and the script nails the tone of the material nicely. The only problems with the show are tied to the problems of being too faithful to the source material. The omniscient narrator – voiced by Frances McDormand – has a tendency to jump through time for

various asides and extraneous information. While this results in plenty of laughs when reading off the page, it can sap the filmic narrative of momentum. Additionally, the romance that blossoms between Pulsifer, the witchfinder’s assistant, and Device, the witch, doesn’t have enough meat on it in the book to translate well to the screen. And on the technical side, there’s some CG in this miniseries that will make you wonder if it was made in 1990, the same year the book was published, though it’s possible that what critics saw was just stand-in animation. Despite these flaws, Good Omens comes out on top. Fans of the book are going to be happy with its preservation of Pratchett and Gaiman’s story and wit. And those who aren’t fans yet will be able to see why the book is so highly regarded. Now if only we could only get an adaptation of Pratchett’s Discworld series that we could say the same about. tmccollum@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

Godzilla: King of the Monsters PHOTO COURTESY OF WARNER BROS.
BY ST EVE SCHN EIDE R
OPENING THIS WEEK: All Is True Whenever Kenneth Branagh directs and acts in a movie based on Shakespeare, there’s a strong chance you’re going to have a good time. But the thing that excites me most about All Is True may be the involvement of Ben Elton, because it’s a red-letter day when a film is written by Kendal Mintcake from the “Bambi” episode of The Young Ones. All Is True depicts the latter days of the Bard, who’s shown as retired to Stratford after the Globe has burned down. Judi Dench plays Anne Hathaway, which is an idea I would also love unreservedly if not for my creeping fear that someone will now have Anne Hathaway play Judi Dench. (PG-13; tentatively scheduled to open Friday at Enzian Theater, Maitland) Godzilla: King of the Monsters The second entry in Legendary Pictures’ Godzilla series hauls out some more Toho Studios biggies, namely Rodan, Mothra and King Ghidorah. Not only that, but we’ll be meeting a newlycreated batch of monsters called Baphomet, Typhoon, Abaddon, Bunyip and Methuselah. (Sounds like a slip-and-fall law firm that could really give Dan Newlin a run for his money.) Here’s hoping the movie wisely focuses on mass mayhem and bypasses all the stuff you don’t care about, like plot and characterization. (PG-13) Ma The latest Blumhouse offering casts Octavia Spencer as a middle-aged single woman who sets up her home as a safe space for the neighborhood kids to drink and have fun – but soon proves she may want more from that
arrangement than the reassurance that she’s saving them from their own personal Chappaquiddick. Spencer told Variety how liberating she finds it to be in a horror movie in which a black character not only doesn’t die within the first 15 minutes but gets to kill everybody. And if you don’t think I’m celebrating every word of that, you obviously don’t know how I feel about horror movies. And white people. (R) Rocketman Director Dexter Fletcher is the guy who got brought in to finish Bohemian Rhapsody after Bryan Singer got the boot, so now we get to find out what kind of work he can do when he doesn’t have to wait around for a pedophiliac predator to shoot himself in the dick. Fletcher’s Elton John biopic, Rocketman, shares another common thread with Rhapsody in the form of music manager John Reid (Richard Madden), who “handled” Elton, according to multiple definitions of the term. Will the portrayal of Reid in this film be as unflattering as the one in Rhapsody? If not, kudos to screenwriter Lee Hall for finding a way to make a manager look good on any level whatsoever. I mean, have you met those people? (R)
ALSO PLAYING: Photograph A Mumbai street photographer conscripts a young woman to pose as his fiancée in order to satisfy the wishes of his grandma.

THE CHANGING MAN Itinerant psych-rocker Timothy Eerie returns home BY JEN CRAY
A
fter a year spent in Austin, Timothy Eerie (the man) is back in Orlando, happily reunited with the rest of his band and set to release a debut record, Ritual, on Fat Elvis Records and Nomad Eel Records. “I moved out there by myself,” he tells Orlando Weekly. “So I was out there playing shows as Timothy Eerie with people that I was just finding and it wasn’t really the same. I feel like it didn’t have the same impact as we do, with the band here. So that’s one reason I came back.” Though the band always had a revolving lineup, drummer Mike Scitney and bass player Justin McCarthy have always been the core members alongside Eerie, who writes all of the music. “We have a tour coming up in a couple of weeks. We’re gonna go up to N.Y. and do an East Coast thing and try to triangulate it down to Austin,” he says. “I’m trying to slowly convince them to move with me when I do move back out there.”
The fact that the band has different players from night to night has been both a hindrance and a blessing for Timothy Eerie’s live shows, making each set its own unique experience. From mood-altering spacey psychedelic immersions to more aggressive nights that tap into Eerie’s garage rock side, you never know what you’re going to get. “I’m always trying to improve and evolve and my taste in music is always changing,” he says. “I never wanna play the same set twice and, even if we do, it never sounds the same.” This also allows Timothy Eerie the flexibility to play with a variety of other bands, be it Acid Mothers Temple or Of Montreal, without seeming out of place. “We try to play to the room and cater to that audience. I get inspiration from other bands and shows and think, ‘THIS is what we need to do!’” Eerie’s thirst for new sounds can often lead to artistic epiphanies, like when he last saw King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard. “I

was just analyzing them so hard – the set and the dynamics of their set and the reaction that the crowd has to them, which is animalistic – it was primal. People lose their minds! But it’s also like a dance party. … That’s an essence I would love to capture,” he says. “I feel like that might be the direction in which we’re heading. I love playing slow and spacey psychedelic kind of music, but in the live setting, it just doesn’t have the same impact. That was a game changer for me when I saw them. All creative writer’s block went out the window!” Which brings us back to that new album. “The album is a mixed bag,” he admits. “On the record, I feel like slow and spacey still really hits, so that’s half the record – slower, atmospheric, really textured. The other half is a wild card. … It’s a good representation of what we’ve been doing up until now. The next record, that we’ll be working on later this year, should be drastically different. I kind of want to do that from record to record.” Timothy Eerie debuts their new record at a hometown release show this weekend. Next week, they may very well sound completely different.

This
week,
a
promising
songwriter showcase debuts and a new contender emerges from down south.
DUETS WITH TERRI BINION AND JORDAN FOLEY, WILL’S PUB, MAY 22
Few treat the songwriter tradition with as much respect as Orlando Americana queen Terri Binion. That care isn’t just limited to her own distinguished work. Inspired by what she saw as host of the quiet indoor stage at Mike Dunn’s Folk Yeah festival, she organized an evening that’s a true songwriter spotlight. Rather than the typical bar show, the debut of Duets was arranged as a listening room experience with tables brought in and signs requesting quiet during the performances. Co-hosted by fellow local Americana luminary Jordan Foley, the event featured pairings that cut a nice broad cross-section of the area’s current folk scene. Featured duets included Central Florida country-rocker Luke Wagner with Ed Isola (banjoist of local indie-folk band the 502s) and Orlando folk-popper Nicholas Roberts with Kit. On the traditional end of the spectrum, Rachel Decker and Tommy Cooper of the Oak Hill Drifters played in their classic country style. (Their Louvin Brothers cover certified that.) The set also included a Decker-penned song that’s not only never been performed out before, but is so intensely and tragically personal that it ended in onstage tears. That’s laying it on the line there. On the opposite end of that was Renee Arozqueta, who was accompanied by fellow Swamp Sista Amy Robbins. Certainly the least conventionally folky
Like a rush of guitars down a long rabbit hole, Jaialai’s set opened as a vortex of bad, sexy energy. But those clouds parted for moments of gorgeous lightness of the lot, the quirky and irrepressible Arozqueta gave a glimpse inside her kaleidoscopic soul and sound, which entailed the only percussion of the night, a costume jumpsuit and a Moldy Peaches cover (“Steak for Chicken”). Although perhaps the least known quantities, Patrick Hagerman and Joshua Reilly were one of the night’s most seamless duos. Both are now Floridian – Hagerman local and Reilly from the Tampa Bay area – but the two go way back as former bandmates in Illinois, which probably explains their mature chemistry, even though the set was split evenly between their respective solo material. Hopefully, the exposure of this night will urge Hagerman to play out more and Reilly to come back in town. After their set, Binion joined Hagerman to perform Dylan’s “You’re a Big Girl Now.” To close the night, co-hosts Binion and Foley did their own duets, exceptionally elegant covers of “Harvest Moon” and “Love Hurts.” After the good reception for this debut, there is a lot of fellowship in the air and talk of a follow-up. Let’s hope that happens because Duets is both worthy
and ripe to become a series. It’s one of the most intimate and artist-focused local showcases to come along in a while. It’s a format that breeds collaboration and presents familiar voices in new, revealing light. All of it combined to make the inaugural event a radiant affair as local as it was authentic.
JAIALAI, WILL’S PUB, MAY 19
Even between strong performances by Nashville’s Oginalii and Orlando’s Sad Halen, Jaialai popped out as one of the week’s big discoveries. In case you couldn’t divine from their name, they’re from Miami. Most importantly, they’re yet another powerful force to rise from Florida’s virile nethers. They’ve been a band for at least a couple years but haven’t yet made much of a mark this far north quite yet, having played only one other Orlando show, a year ago at the Henao Center. From what I saw of them, though, serious fans of psych-rock should pray this changes soon because they came as an astonishingly finished act. Like a diving rush of guitars down a long, echoing rabbit hole, Jaialai’s set opened as a shadowy vortex of bad, sexy energy. But those storm clouds eventually parted for moments of gorgeous, dreamy lightness. And back and forth it went from sun-bleached zephyrs to swirling heat gusts like their native weather. Through it all, Jaialai kept it effective with clarified power and a degree of sonic craft usually reserved for more seasoned bands. They’ve just released their debut album, Say So, on new Miami indie label Public Works Records, so watch out. baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

Ariana Grande MUSIC
Like a Sailor Moon transformation, there was Ari then, and there’s Ari now. Maybe it happened amidst the hit triumvirate of summer 2014 (“Problem,” “Break Free,” “Bang Bang”), or maybe it rose with the phoenix-from-the-ashes catharsis of One Love Manchester. At some point along the way, though, Ariana Grande transcended. She’s floated, not climbed – past the Nickelodeon heritage, the starlet status, the Mariah comparisons – to record-breaking, award-winning, Biggest Thing Ever-type success. Sweetener? Huge. Thank U, Next? Huger. The Pete Davidson engagement? Huge. The Pete Davidson break-up? Huger. Breaking Billboard records left and right? Huge. Breaking Billboard records last set by the Beatles? Hugest. It can almost get to be a bit much: See the brownfishing accusations and the rabid legion of Arianators and the half-hearted trap beats and the flimsy “I don’t label my sexuality” statement. But at the heart of Ariana, Biggest Thing Ever Ariana, is that voice. It’s remarkable – unparalleled, even – in its capacity to whisper and then to belt, to travel effortlessly from run to run; a talent capable of convincing even the most cynical among us that, yes, the light really could be coming. Hear it IRL as Ari brings the Sweetener tour to Orlando. – Madeleine Scott with Normani, Social House | 8 p.m. | Amway Center, 400 W. Church St. | 407-440-7000 | amwaycenter.com | $31.95–$699

The Viirus MUSIC
Give credit where credit is due: The Viirus is one of the most underrated and overlooked legacy figures in Florida’s minimal/dark synth scene. Emerging from Gainesville’s vibrant and eclectic experimental underground in 2007, Adam Batley’s solo electronic project the Viirus was delving into the unexplored depths of the synth world with a heavy classic EBM influence well before acts like Boy Harsher and Cold Cave brought that sound to the mainstream. For years, the Viirus was an outlier in Gainesville and maybe even Florida. Off the top of our heads, we can only think of maybe Opus Finis, Control Image, Ars Phoenix and Girls on Film exploring similar sounds in the Sunshine State back when he started. Batley’s live sets were physical and dramatic enough to make even harsh-noise shockers take notice – imagine seeing a one-man, DIY version of Front 242 at their height. Batley moved out west a couple of years ago, but is returning to Central Florida for one show, his first in the City Beautiful since an Überbahn event in 2016. – Matthew Moyer with Alien Witch | 10 p.m. | Stonewall, 741 W.

The Gemini Party: A Tribute to D-Xtreme MUSIC
Just a few months ago, we were talking up the big Devotion dance party that revived one of the most significant chapters of Orlando music history by dropping a hall-of-fame lineup from house music’s golden age back onto the old site of the world-famous Edge nightclub. Tragically, however, one of that era’s most defining local figures, DJ D-Xtreme, passed away only a month after spinning Devotion. Now, the beat scene is reconvening to pay tribute to the breaks legend and collect donations for his family. Like Devotion, this commemoration features a sick all-star roster of 1990s EDM heavyweights including Progression’s Vicious Vic, Stylus (D-Xtreme’s resident partner from the Abyss), Huda Hudia, Andy Hughes, Sandy, Rob-E & Security, Davie-D and many others, all donating their time and turntable skills for a distinguished fellow. Inevitably, the occasion will be heavy-hearted. But this event is intended in the original party spirit that gave rise to the whole scene in the first place, so conduct yourselves accordingly and shake that ass. Rest in bass, Derek. – Bao Le-Huu 3 p.m. | Ace Café, 100 W. Livingston St. | 407-996-6686 | acecafeusa.com | $20 suggested donation

Pink Sweat$ MUSIC
Scoping the Cam’ron and Prince-inspired wardrobe of fast-rising Philly R&B supremo Pink Sweat$, 24/7 clad in his namesake hue, you might be surprised to learn that the young musician started his career as a songwriter and producer. Preferring the privacy of behind-the-scenes heavy lifting, he wrote for artists from varied genres – Florida Georgia Line, MAX and Tierra Whack, to name a few. Pink Sweat$ stepped out from behind the board and into the booth to release his first single, “Honesty,” last year, and it was revelatory, somehow skeletal and lush at the same time, with Sweat$’ soaring voice accompanied by a lone guitar. And that’s it. It felt like a demo, a prayer. The floodgates opened, and Pink Sweat$ rapidfire released the EPs Volume 1 (clocking in under 15 minutes, like a good hardcore album) and Volume 2. Not to overuse the previous hardcore metaphor, but Pink Sweat$ discography thus far is proudly out of step with contemporary R&B trends, focusing instead on intimate, vulnerable and minimalist balladeering, timeless even. You might get more than a lil’ misty-eyed at this one. – MM with Raiche | 7 p.m. | The Social, 54 N. Orange Ave. | 407-246-1419 | thesocial.org | $18-$20

Sometimes, you need to just kick back a cold beer and watch a guy in a cowboy hat wrestle a bull to the ground. For that, the Silver Spurs Rodeo has you covered. The rodeo bills itself as “the largest rodeo east of the Mississippi,” and it celebrates 75 years of bull riding and steer wrestling. Members of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association contend with each other to see who is the best at saddle bronc riding, tie-down roping and bareback riding, as well as plenty of other competitions. You can also catch performances by the Silver Spurs Club’s Quadrille team, who’ll be sure to display some serious horse-dancing skills. – Christian Casale 7:30 p.m. | Osceola Heritage Park, 1875 Silver Spur Lane, Kissimmee | 321-246-1419 | silverspursrodeo.com | $15

B Y DA N S AVAG E
SAVAGE LOVE LIVE SWOOPED INTO Seattle’s Egyptian Theater and Denver’s Oriental Theater over the last two weekends. I couldn’t get to everyone’s questions at these sold-out shows – there were so many great questions and I’m just one lousy advice columnist – so I’m going to power through as many as I can in this week’s column. Weddings are terrible. I attended “Dueling Dallas Lesbian Weddings,” and both couples are pressuring me to tell them whose wedding was better (or better in the eyes of social media). Am I obligated to “rat” these couples out to each other? Weddings aren’t terrible, people are – some of them, not all of them. But you certainly aren’t obligated to “rat” these couples out to each other. You aren’t even obligated to speak to any of these terrible people again. What is the best relationship advice you’ve ever received? Cup the balls. I’ve been talking to a guy for four months, and we still haven’t met in person. He’s recently divorced, and I find it odd that he is all into me with sexting, etc., but doesn’t want to meet. What do I do? Stop wasting your time. I have always loved anal sex with my partner of more than a decade. He loves it, too. We’ve noticed a trend over the years where he gets melancholy after we have anal sex. He doesn’t know why. Do you have any ideas or theories about why? Nope. How do I make sure I enjoy my wedding instead of worrying about how it will go? Elope. I’m a woman and I’ve been in a relationship for two years. My partner is not able to make me orgasm. He is my first lover. HELP. If you can make yourself come, show your partner how you do it. If you can’t make yourself come – if you’re one of those people who have never masturbated – start masturbating, learn how to make yourself come, and then show him how you do it. My boyfriend is a cuckold and very into the humiliation aspect of cuckolding. I’ve been hooking up with one guy who is so into humiliating my boyfriend that it’s kind of freaking me out. They message each other so much, I feel like I’m the one being cheated on! 46
You get the D. Let your boyfriend have the DMs. We are married 10 years, monogamish, pansexual. My friends are opening up their relationship and so are we. Any good reason I shouldn’t have sex with my friends? Only the most obvious one: If someone gets hurt, these friendships could end. But friendships end all the time without anyone getting off, so … I’m 31; he’s 44. I know how you feel about splitting the rent in proportion to income, but my higher-earning boyfriend points out that I’ve opted for more leisure time and less stress with my lower-paying job. How should we split the rent? Someone making two or three times as much money as their partner should be willing to pay more of the rent. Splitting the rent 50/50 wouldn’t be fair, particularly if the higher earner wants a larger and/or nicer space, because then the partner making more money is effectively having their lifestyle subsidized by the one making less. But if someone chooses to make less money because they want more leisure time, they shouldn’t expect to have that choice underwritten by a partner making more money. I don’t think they should pay half the rent – but a higher percentage of their income should go toward the rent. How can I nicely convince my girlfriend to have anal sex? By using your words – your best noncoercive, nonthreatening, willing-to-take-no-foran-answer words. And it will help if you tell her you’re willing to take it slow and willing to take turns. My boyfriend of 1.5 years doesn’t feel it is “appropriate” to tell me he is in love with me. I want so bad to have our “I love you” moment. What should I do? Say it to him – and if he doesn’t hit you with an “I love you, too,” then either he’s not in love with you or he’s in love with you and knows how badly you want to hear him say “I love you” but he won’t say it because he likes to torture you. My partner discovered – with someone else – that she loves BDSM, including pain and humiliation. I’m trying, but she’s not impressed. What do I do? Presumably your partner doesn’t love BDSM to the exclusion of all the hot vanilla sex she’d been having with you previous to this discovery. So instead of trying to be something or someone you’re not, let

“ S E AT T L E & D E N V E R ”
your partner enjoy BDSM with others while making sure you two maintain your sexual connection by continuing to explore your shared sexual interests. Blair says all blowjobs should end with a swallow. Thoughts? Blair is entitled to Blair’s opinion, but Blair isn’t the boss of blowjobs. I’ve been with my partner for two years. We love each other and have no real issues, except family. I’m out of the closet to everyone in my life. My partner is, too. Her mom “accepts” her being gay, except around extended family. At family gatherings, her mom pretends my partner is heterosexual and interested in men, as if our two-year relationship doesn’t exist. Is it OK that I think this is not OK? It’s OK that you don’t find this at all OK. But I’m curious what your partner thinks. Presumably your partner isn’t a houseplant – which means she must have feelings about this and presumably she’s capable of communicating those feelings to her mother. How do you introduce BDSM into your sexual relationship? Suddenly and without warning – trust me, the element of surprise is crucial when it comes to kinky sex. Joking! For the record: You introduce BDSM into your sexual relationship by first initiating a conversation about your sexual interests and, if there’s interest on both sides, gradually and slowly introducing JV BDSM play into your relationship. I ran into a co-worker at a fetish party, and he was wearing a “URINAL” T-shirt. Does that mean what I think it means? It means you don’t have to leave your workstation when you need to take a piss.
