ORLANDO WEEKLY

Readers react to stories from last week. On May 2, we reported that the Republican-dominated House passed a wide-ranging school safety bill that would allow classroom teachers to be armed, reversing a decision made last year after the mass school shooting in Parkland. Lisa B., Altamonte Springs: It’s been a gala week for the GOP here in FL. They got to ramp up their body counts on the back of the public education system. We’re what, 5 rungs from the bottom as far as teacher pay for public schools. Now he’s cut their budgets, deflecting my tax dollars to private, parochial schools that have zero accountability for what they teach. I’m fairly certain that men did not walk with dinosaurs, and the earth is more than 5 million years old. He, and Devos, are also on track to enforce bringing prayer to our public schools … but only the Holy Rolling Christian Praise Jesus kind. Jews and Muslims … well, those aren’t real religions anyway. The only true Patriot is a Christian one … so they claim. Thanks to the orange cancer in charge, the breakfasts, if there are any still being served, will be chock full of sugary goodness. And more of these artificially innervated kiddos will be jam-packed into each and every classroom, forcing teachers, already working two jobs, to deal with additional discipline problems that the parents, who are probably also working two jobs to put food on the table, simply don’t have time for. Makes perfect sense. Teachers get them eight hours each day, so they certainly have much more time to teach each of the 30 kids in one room how to behave … don’t they? And those private, parochial schools have such stringent vetting, don’t they? Because God forbid, yes, God forbid that a child of color turns up with dreadlocks – that’s a mighty big no-no. He doesn’t deserve a place at their table. Yet they’re always shocked, struck dumb, when the pedos turn up there. Somehow they always slip under the radar of whatever faux Catholic priest is in charge. Shocking. So let’s summarize: on top of cutting their budgets, telling them they’re failing in their chosen profession, and jam-packing their classes … let’s give ’em all guns. Because guns make every 6-year-old feel so much safer, especially when they go off randomly in lunchrooms. And with the excellent vetting that’s being done, there should be no problems, whatsoever. Teachers have no stress, I mean, who takes education seriously these days? That Desantis is one NRA-lovin’ sadistic bastard, ain’t he, with a grand sense of the absurd. Punishing the children of his constituents. Punishing teachers who want to help children succeed. They certainly don’t do it for the money. I don’t have kids. I’m not a teacher. I’m just disgusted. They should be ashamed, but the GOP shame gene stopped working in 2016. And don’t get me started on the plastic straws.

THE AGE OF IDIOCRACY Trump is a symptom, not the disease, and defeating him is only the first step BY JE FFREY C. BILL M A N

The dirty little secret about cal facts. Over the last two decades, and American politics is that the average voter knows next to nothing about their government or the policies it enacts, which means half of voters know less than that. That doesn’t mean they’re idiots. They’re just normal folks with normal jobs and normal families who have neither the time nor the inclination to fixate on this stuff, which might be better for their mental health. Nor is that a partisan snipe. It’s true that Donald Trump is president because of low-information voters – specifically, poorly educated whites who backed him by a 2–1 margin, driven by anxiety over changing cultural norms and, yes, racism. But the Democrats have their share of lowinformation voters, too, many of whom are minorities who might be drawn to Trump’s brand of authoritarianism were they not its targets. Indeed, while Democrats have been luring disaffected college-educated whites from the Republicans during the Trump era, 47 percent of Democratic primary voters in 2016 hadn’t completed a bachelor’s degree. These voters tend to live in the South, where Democrats have less power and are less traditionally liberal. Interestingly, according to a recent New York Times analysis of survey data, only about a quarter of Democrats are progressive activists, and only about 10 percent would be considered democratic socialists. In other words, Twitter is not real life. But that gets at the asymmetry between the parties: The Democrats’ activists and doctrinaire liberals are, for the most part, college-educated people who care about and agitate for policy as a means to effect social change, even if the rank and file aren’t. They drive the conversation about where the party is headed. Republican activists – the ones on the front lines – aren’t as interested in policy, at least not any policy grounded in empiri-

particularly since the tea party emerged in 2009 and was handed the bullhorn of social media, what was left of the GOP’s diminishing intellectual class has been beaten into submission by the kind of revanchist, often conspiratorial, increasingly nativist, proudly ignorant know-nothingism both embodied and empowered by the likes of Fox News’ prime-time lineup. The inmates took over the asylum. Or better put: The dunces took over the classroom. So now you have a party in which more than 90 percent of its voters support a man who can’t make it through a policy paper unless it has pretty pictures; who, despite having access to the largest trove of intelligence in the world, prefers to obsess over cable television news; and who spent his weekend retweeting white supremacists to argue that private social-media companies should be legally obligated to offer a platform to fringe conspiracy sites. That’s a position, by the way, that not long ago would have been heretical to the GOP, as would Trump’s embrace of tariffs and his willingness to play footsie with foreign dictators. As the college-educated abandon the Republican Party, this dynamic will become more pronounced. Ideological consistency and intellectual rigor will become irrelevant, replaced by the atavistic urges and authoritarian fealties intrinsic to rightwing populism. Internal critiques will be sidelined; party leaders, should they wish to remain party leaders, will get in line. This is already happening. To cite the most obvious example: A few years ago, Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina warned that nominating Trump would destroy the GOP. Graham is now Trump’s biggest handmaiden, using his chairmanship of the Senate Judiciary Committee to amplify the president’s deep-state conspiracies.

I’ve written before that Trump is a cancer corrupting the body politic, and this is what I mean: Cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells that eventually overwhelm bodily defense mechanisms. Trump came to power on the wave of an abnormal growth that overwhelmed our democracy’s defenses. A healthier democracy would have fought it off. But, after the Great Recession and decades of pointless wars, our democracy was weak, and the cancer grew to the point where it now threatens the whole body. But here’s where the analogy breaks down: While Trump is a product of this cancer, and he expedited its spread, he wasn’t its cause. Excising him in 2020 won’t close Pandora’s box. That ship has sailed, and thinking otherwise is dangerous. I have several issues with Joe Biden’s recently declared bid for the Democratic presidential nomination. His premise that Trump is merely an aberration is a big one. Trump isn’t an aberration. Rather, he’s the culmination of a half-century of calculated cynicism, dating back to Richard Nixon’s Southern strategy, that stoked racial resentment for votes, and three decades of Fox News and talk-radio propaganda that laid the groundwork for an army of angry, aggrieved white men who think they’re the victims of political correctness, diversity and cultural evolution. That’s the real cancer. Defeating Trump, as necessary as it is, will only be the first step in a long, intensive and uncertain battle against the disease. And the cure isn’t a revival of the anteTrump status quo. That ship has sailed, too – another strike against Biden. A generation of foreign policy disasters, crushing economic inequality and a decimation of trust in American institutions has seen to that. The old way has failed, and its broken promises, I fear, will prove impotent in stopping the Trump malignancy or whatever succeeds it. What the new course will look like is the fundamental question animating the Democratic primary. I’ll jump into those very murky waters next week. feedback@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

MAY 8-14, 2019 ● ORLANDO WEEKLY

The 2019 Florida legislative session ends in typically distressing and angering fashion: ‘sanctuary cities’ banned, plastic straw ban banned, Amendment 4 gutted and other news you may have missed last week. »

Controversial plan to make former Florida felons pay fees before restoring voting rights heads to Gov. DeSantis’ desk: Seemingly yearning for the days of poll taxes, the Florida Senate last Thursday, followed closely by the House the following day – coincidentally the last of the 2019 legislative session – passed SB 7066, a measure that would require repayment of financial obligations before felons’ voting rights could be restored. The measure passed both houses along strict party-line votes and is now headed to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who has 15 days to decide whether to pass or veto the plan. Florida voters overwhelmingly voted yes on Amendment 4, which restores voting rights to former felons who have served their time, in November’s elections.

Florida House passes ‘sanctuary city’ ban: Joining their colleagues in the Florida Senate, the House passed legislation that would enact strict laws in Florida against so-called sanctuary cities. The ban is now headed to Gov. DeSantis, giving him the chance to fulfill a key campaign promise. The governor praised the final passage of the bill last Thursday by the House and Senate after emotional debate in both chambers during the final days of the legislative session. Democrats argued the bill does not actually fix any problem, but rather is focused on feeding the Republicans’ conservative political base. In Florida, no cities or counties have sanctuary policies.

Activists dragged out of Florida House chambers for protesting ban on ‘sanctuary cities’: Before an already contentious vote on a controversial ban on sanctuary cities in the Florida house last Wednesday, protesters in the House gallery began shouting and unfurled a large white banner with the slogan “Strong heart fight back” printed on it. “This is the most hateful legislation ever,” Carlos Naranjo shouted at lawmakers before the Capitol police and members of the House sergeant’s office dragged him out of the gallery and put him in handcuffs. The commotion prompted police to close the doors to the public gallery and sent dozens of activists down to the governor’s office to protest. Despite the protests, the measure passed.

Florida lawmakers vote to ban cities from banning plastic straws: The Florida Senate last Tuesday passed an environmental bill that includes prohibiting local governments from enforcing regulations on plastic straws for the next five years. On a 24-15 vote, the Senate imposed a moratorium on plastic-straw bans. The decision to pass the bill follows numerous failed attempts by lawmakers over the years to prevent plastic-straw bans. The House passed the bill (HB 771) as well, meaning it is now ready to head to Gov. DeSantis. If he signs the bill, local governments would not be able to enforce any ordinance banning plastic straws until July 2024.

Florida toll road expansion plan advances despite environmental fears: With the passage of SB 7068, the Florida House voted to put the state on a path toward three new or expanded toll roads in mostly rural regions, despite fears from environmental groups and Democrats about sprawling development and damage to wetlands. The projects would extend the Suncoast Parkway from the Tampa Bay area north to the Georgia border; link the Florida Turnpike west to the Suncoast Parkway; and build a new transportation corridor, including a toll road, from Polk County to Collier County. The proposal calls for construction to begin by the end of 2022 and the roads to open to traffic before Dec. 31, 2030. feedback@orlandoweekly.com

MIND THE GAP WATCHING THE DETECTIVES Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office says request asking for real-time facial recognition surveillance was a ‘mistake’ BY JOEY ROULETTE

he Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office says it didn’t mean to inquire about “real-time facial searching capabilities from live surveillance cameras” in a document asking companies for insight on how to build a new facial recognition system. Real-time facial recognition, a machine-learning software that plugs into surveillance cameras to automatically identify anyone walking or existing in a public place, is being tested in Orlando under a 15-month pilot program with Amazon, although officials say it’s not being used operationally. After the Orlando Police Department, PCSO would have become the second agency in Florida openly considering real-time face scanning surveillance. PCSO posted a formal request for information to the private sector in February seeking ideas on how to build a “Facial Recognition System,” and included “real-time facial searching capabilities from live surveillance cameras” as a condition among the 15 minimum requirements the request asked of respondents – signaling a reversal for Pinellas Sheriff Bob Gualtieri, who has said live face scanning is too controversial and creepy. But, following an Orlando Weekly story on the request, a spokesman for the agency said last week that the realtime face scanning part was “added inadvertently” and “will be removed,” even though companies had already submitted their responses before the deadline over two weeks ago. “That information was put in the RFI inadvertently,” PCSO spokesman Spencer Gross said. ”The sheriff is still very much opposed to utilizing real-time facial recognition.” But the agency’s fumble still raises questions over Gualtieri’s motives with the technology, and the details discussed in the request seem to extend beyond what could be brushed off as a clerical mistake.

During the request period, the agency responded to a question from one company asking what kind of video streams would be needed for live facescanning surveillance, according to a Q&A document. “The minimum resolution should be 1920x1080 with 30 frames per second for each video stream,” the agency said. The request comes as Sheriff Gualtieri moves to update the “old” and “antiquated” statewide facial recognition system his agency manages called FR-Net, Gross said. For nearly a decade, FR-Net has enabled Florida law enforcement officers to identify unknown suspects by running their photos against a database of over 25 million faces. More than 233 agencies in Florida use it, including OPD and the Orange County Sheriff’s Office. An image-for-image search tailored for police, the facial recognition software is typically used as an alternative to fingerprints – it’s still a biometric but doesn’t require physical contact with the unknown person. Deputies can pull screengrabs of key suspects spotted in surveillance videos after a crime has been committed and upload them into the system to search for matches. But real-time face scanning is different, identifying everyone in view of a live surveillance camera to scrub for possible criminals and alerting law enforcement of those individuals automatically. Civil rights advocates have said realtime facial recognition violates privacy and can be abused by police to target people of color, immigrants or protestors – especially because Florida has no laws or regulations over how it’s used. And researchers have said the technology’s algorithms have a dangerous range of inaccuracies, more accurately identifying light-skinned men than darkskinned women. feedback@orlandoweekly.com

Rich people in Orlando make 11 times as much as poor people, study says BY M O N I V E TTE CO R D E I R O

ncome inequality has increased significantly in Orlando during the past decade, to the point that rich people make 11 times as much as poor people, according to a new study. The analysis from real estate website Apartment List shows the wealth gap in the Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford metro area jumped by 23 percent from 2008 to 2017. Back in 2008, the highest-earning households in the 90th percentile earned 9.2 times more than lower-income households at the 10th percentile. In 2017, the gap between rich households and poor households in Orlando was a ratio of 11.4. But while incomes are growing faster for the wealthy, the wealthy are also paying less for housing. The study found that housing costs in the Orlando metro for people earning more than the national median income have actually decreased by 10 percent in the past decade. Meanwhile, housing costs for people who make less than the median income have gone up by 1 percent in the same time frame. “The cost of putting a roof over one’s head is increasingly driving an even bigger gap between the haves and havenots,” says Sania Tran, a content manager at Apartment List.

While lower-income workers made 74 percent less than the median income, they still paid comparable rents, according to the study. Part of the problem in Orlando is that the city currently has the most severe affordable housing shortage in the nation. The Orlando metro area currently has only 13 affordable and available rental homes for every 100 extremely low-income renter households, according to a 2019 report from the National Low Income Housing Coalition. The same study found that an overwhelming majority of low-income households in Florida – the people living off the paltry $8.46 we call a minimum wage – are spending half their income on rent or mortgage rather than basic necessities. “Growing housing disparities can also contribute to local income inequality,” the Apartment List study says. “If rising housing costs prevent those at the bottom of the income distribution from having capital to invest, relocate, or take risks, then moving up the income ladder becomes challenging. At the other end of the spectrum, falling mortgage rates can do the opposite for those already well off.” mcordeiro@orlandoweekly.com

WAIT STATION Orlando’s new downtown rideshare hubs are now open BY M O N I V E TTE CO R D E I R O

rlando’s new downtown rideshare hubs opened last Friday at midnight. The six-month pilot program designates areas for downtown partyers to wait safely for a ride. One hub is located at Magnolia Avenue near Heritage Square and a second at Gertrude’s Walk near Jefferson and Washington Streets. The areas will have dedicated pickup lanes for Uber, Lyft and cab drivers, plus public restrooms, enhanced lighting, security staff and – in a big change to current downtown permitting – food trucks. orlandoweekly.com

Launched on May 3, the hubs will be open every Friday and Saturday from midnight until 3 a.m. “The hours of operation are based on data showing peak times in downtown when there may be traffic issues,” city of Orlando officials say. “Some of these issues may be caused by road closures, which can lead to navigation confusion for both downtown patrons and drivers, therefore causing congestion. The goal of the hubs is to reduce this traffic issue.” feedback@orlandoweekly.com ●

LIQUID ASSETS Taxpayers paid $1,000 on cocktails for Trump staffers (and more) at Trump’s Florida club, Mar-a-Lago BY DEREK KRAV I TZ , P R OP U BL I C A

In April 2017, Chinese President Xi Jinping visited Mar-a-Lago, President Donald Trump’s Palm Beach, Florida, estate and club, for a two-day summit. While Xi and his delegation stayed at a nearby hotel, Trump and his advisers stayed at the peach-colored waterfront resort. That evening, Trump and a dozen of his closest advisers hosted Xi and the Chinese delegation in an ornate dining room where they ate Dover sole and New York strip steak. Those sorts of lavish, formal gatherings are expected at a major bilateral summit. But then there are less formal events. At some point later that evening, a group repaired to Mar-a-Lago’s Library Bar, a wood-paneled study with a portrait of Trump in tennis whites (titled “The Visionary”) hanging nearby. The group asked the bartender to leave the room so it “could speak confidentially,” according to an email written by Mar-a-Lago’s catering director, Brooke Watson. The Secret Service guarded the door, according to the email. The bartender wasn’t allowed to return. And members of the group began pouring themselves drinks. No one paid.

The premium liquor costs are only the beginning of government spending at Mar-a-Lago

ORLANDO WEEKLY ● MAY 8-14, 2019 ● orlandoweekly.com

ix days later, on April 13, Mar-a-Lago created a bill for those drinks, tallying $838 worth of alcohol plus a 20% service charge. It covered 54 drinks (making for an average price of $18.62 each) of premium liquor: Chopin vodka, Patron and Don Julio Blanco tequilas, and Woodford Reserve bourbon. Watson’s email did not specify how many people consumed the alcohol or who the participants were. (It stated that she was told the participants included then-strategist Steve Bannon and thendeputy chief of staff Joe Hagin. Bannon, who has said he stopped drinking years ago, said he didn’t drink at Mar-a-Lago and didn’t recall the episode. Hagin did not respond to requests for comment.) The bill was sent to the State Department, which objected to covering it. It was then forwarded to the White House, which paid the tab. The unusual cocktail hour underscores a unique push and pull in the current administration: Donald Trump’s White House pays a bill and Donald Trump’s club reaps the revenue. (It’s unclear if the White House asked any of those drinking to reimburse the government; the White House declined to comment.) The premium liquor costs are only the beginning of government spending at Mar-a-Lago that emerges in hundreds of pages of receipts and email correspondence between Trump Organization employees and staffers for the State Department, which oversees presidential diplomatic travel and works with the Secret Service and White House. The emails show that the president’s company refused to agree to what was essentially a bulk-purchase agreement with the federal government, and that it charged the maximum allowable federal rate for hotel rooms. The Trump Organization could be obstinate when it came to rates for, say, function rooms at Mar-a-Lago, a problem that was eased when the president signed a law lifting the maximum “micro-purchase” the government can make. The emails have been released as part of an ongoing lawsuit between the nonprofit Property of the People, a Washington-based transparency group, and the federal government. Property of the People provided the emails and receipts to ProPublica. (The

State Department is expected to release an additional 1,800 pages of records as part of the lawsuit, which was filed under the Freedom of Information Act.) In response to questions from ProPublica, the State Department asked for and received the documents described in this article. State Department officials promised a detailed response, but then declined comment. The documents reveal the intersection between Trump’s conflicting interests. The emails show that “Mar-a-Lago wanted to have the government money without the government rules,” said Charles Tiefer, a law professor at the University of Baltimore who served on the congressionally chartered Commission on Wartime Contracting in Iraq and Afghanistan. A few months after Trump’s inauguration, the State Department proposed a contract that would pay $200,000 for all room costs for federal employees who stay at Mar-a-Lago over the first term of his presidency. But Mar-a-Lago rejected the government’s proposal. Instead, Trump’s resort bills the government the maximum permitted by federal rules: 300% of the government’s per diem rate, which works out to $546 per night. Mar-a-Lago rejected the proposed flat-fee arrangement, according to the emails, because of concerns the club’s lawyers had about the Federal Acquisition Regulation, or FAR, which governs federal purchases and is overseen by contracting officers. FAR seeks to promote competition and maintain “the public’s trust.” The emails suggest the Trump Organization was worried that the lack of competitive bidding could run afoul of federal rules, among other concerns. A State Department staffer wrote in May 2017 that Mar-a-Lago’s attorneys brought up federal “small business set-aside” requirements, which set strict rules for sole-source government bids for small businesses. The State Department staffer wrote that Mar-aLago’s “concerns are based on their general lack of knowledge on the applicability of the FAR regulations.”

Mar-a-Lago and the Trump Organization did not respond to ProPublica’s requests for comment. Since Mar-a-Lago wouldn’t agree to a bulk contract, the State Department had to go to Plan B. When it came to the meeting with China’s president, for example, the agency had to go into some contortions to make Mar-a-Lago’s $546 nightly room rate square with its rules on competitive bidding, given that there are other less expensive hotels nearby. At least 16 staffers stayed at the Hampton Inn in West Palm Beach; at least eight stayed at the nearby Hilton Garden Inn; and four others stayed at the Tideline Ocean Resort & Spa, where the press pool also stayed, according to a hotel manifest obtained through the FOIA lawsuit. The government-negotiated rates at those establishments ranged from $195 to $305 per night. (At least 24 White House and federal staffers stayed at Mar-a-Lago during the Xi visit. They included thenSecretary of State Rex Tillerson; then-chief of staff Reince Priebus; then-Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis; Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin; then-National Economic Council adviser Gary Cohn; and other advisers, past and present, such as Bannon, Hope Hicks, Stephen Miller and Sean Spicer.) The State Department also broke with protocol regarding taxpayer-funded travel and applied for a Citibank travel card just for Mar-a-Lago visits. Meanwhile, other problems emerged: – Mar-a-Lago can’t process charges over $10,000, which led to problems when the club split bills and charged the government card for multiple transactions, emails show. – Mar-a-Lago refused government requests to waive the costs of its “function room” for press and other official meetings in April 2017, leading to a near-violation of a $3,500 government spending cap. Last year, Trump signed a law that lifted that cap, known as the “micro-purchase threshold,” from $3,500 to $10,000. The law does not appear to have been aimed at facilitating spending at Mar-a-Lago, but it allows the club to avoid additional government contracting rules when charging sums below $10,000. – In one instance, after the government was charged more than $3,500 for conference space at Mar-a-Lago, it asked the Trump Organization for a 10% discount so that it wouldn’t violate the micro-purchase threshold. Mar-aLago relented, but only after months of haggling. In the emails, the director of presidential travel support, Michael Dobbs, frequently described the creation of a charge card unique to Mar-a-Lago as a “headache.” As Steve Schooner, a professor of government contracting law at George Washington University, put it, “The fact that we have a State Department contracting officer saying this is a headache is a reminder that, but for the relationship with President Trump, this would not be a contract the government would be having. That’s a problem.” Many of the expenses incurred by White House staff are arranged and paid for by the White House’s Office of Administration. These expenses are not required to be made public. The same goes for Secret Service spending to protect the president on such visits. (The Government Accountability Office released a report last month evaluating spending at Mar-a-Lago in February and March 2017 and found that a total of $60,000 was spent at the hotel during four trips; the figure ran to $13.6 million when costs for plane travel, secret service, security and other logistics were included.)

The State Department payments, and its work on behalf of the White House and other traveling staff, are considered public records. Between 2015 and June of 2018, at least $16.1 million has poured into Trump Organization-managed and branded hotels, golf courses and restaurants from his campaign, Republican organizations and government agencies. Because Trump’s business empire is overseen by a trust of which he is the sole beneficiary, he profits from these hotel stays, banquet hall rentals and meals. Federal spending rules don’t specifically address agency-level spending on alcohol that is directly invoiced to the government, as occurred with the $1,000 bar tab at Mar-a-Lago. The State Department and the White House have had exemptions included in their appropriations legislation to allow for alcohol purchases. Individual government employees are not permitted to use charge cards for “improper” purposes, such as alcohol, and federal per diem rules allow for charges for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and related tips and taxes, but specifically exclude alcoholic drinks. Six government contracting experts said Mar-a-Lago may be violating rules requiring competitive bids. They argue that Mar-a-Lago’s practice of invoicing meeting spaces, hotel stays and meals separately is a way to get around federal spending rules.

“Mar-a-Lago didn’t want to compete, they wanted to sneak around the requirements, and charge much higher prices than the competition,” said Tiefer, who served as deputy general counsel with the House of Representatives for 11 years. “It’s not the first time in history that vendors have tried to get around the rules by charging individual components. This is familiar to every contracting officer. And it’s wrong. It’s not just a technicality. It’s not a game. The only safeguard the public has against the Trumps swallowing up all the government business is at least minimal competition.” Several experts contend the State Department is exploiting loopholes in government spending rules to facilitate official gatherings at Mar-a-Lago. “It’s one of the biggest fears coming true, that they are bending over backwards to help the Trump Organization,” said Scott Amey, general counsel of the Project On Government Oversight. “I’m frustrated the State Department would exploit the system to bill Uncle Sam and the taxpayers. To have the government bicker to get a 10% discount shows the Trump Organization isn’t putting the American public first. It’s a worst-case scenario when it comes to conflicts of interest, with the president and his children putting themselves and profits ahead of the public.” This story was first published on ProPublica.com.

HEAVENLY CREATURES

The latest Mills Gallery art exhibition evokes paradise on earth BY JESSICA BRYCE YOU N G

ou might read the title of this show by Anna Cruz and Adam Lavigne and think it’s a coincidence that it goes by the same name as Belinda Carlisle’s 1987 slice of pure earworm pop. Or you might even think the name is ironic. But you’d be wrong. “Yeah, we were listening to that song,” says Lavigne. “It’s 100 percent the genesis. It’s really simple but you’re talking about some really big concepts there.” Heaven Is a Place on Earth opens Friday at the Mills Gallery, showcasing the latest collaborative efforts of Cruz and Lavigne, partners in life as well as in studio practice. “Every year we’ve been together, we’ve put together an art show,” Cruz says. “As the years went on, it became apparent that our work complements each other really

recently awarded $10 million each in Tourism Development Tax dollars by the Orange County Board of County Commissioners. The Holocaust Memorial Resource & Education Center of Florida, which is currently located in Maitland, will use the grant to build a new Holocaust Museum for Hope & Humanity on the site of the former Greater Orlando Chamber of Commerce. The City of Orlando, which owns the land and building, will lease it to the museum for $1 per year. At the same time Orange County is giving $10 million to the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra, which will transfer ownership of its Plaza Live concert venue to the City of Orlando. The City will then lease the building back to the Philharmonic, which has been refurbishing the 53-year-old theater since buying it in 2013. Further renovations are planned.

subjects in easily understood forms, or, as Lavigne puts it, “descale a concept to represent it in an adjustable way.” Though each creates their own pieces, it’s sometimes difficult to tell who made what. (One clue is the canvases: Cruz uses pre-stretched ones; Lavigne builds his own, often in complex geometric shapes.) They share a cheerful color palette, and each seems to work from a personal set of symbols, an individual iconography. The dovetailing of their work, Lavigne says, was as simple as just sitting down making drawings together. For this show, Lavigne has been painting celestial bodies and thinking about human notions of heaven and the distilled symbology of earth. On the other hand, Cruz’s richly verdant paintings evoke heaven in a more sensory way: “I like creating imagery that’s really lush and like paradise, where looking at it is like spoiling yourself,” she says. “It’s like eating an ice cream cone – I want it to feel so good when you’re looking at it.” Referring to the show’s namesake, Lavigne points out, “Attempting to make something like heaven or utopia here on earth is a very idealistic thing.” “I don’t feel like there needs to be a bigger idea behind the image,” Cruz says firmly. So stop looking for deeper meanings, put down your irony and just enjoy the ice cream.

Winter Garden’s Garden Theatre has named Joseph C. Walsh their new artistic director, replacing Rob Winn Anderson, whose retirement at the end of the current season was announced in February. Walsh, who comes to Florida from the Arlington Children’s Theatre in Massachusetts, has an extensive international résumé, including directing major productions in London and Ireland and teaching theater for young audiences in America and Europe. Walsh will helm the 20192020 season of shows announced by Anderson prior to his departure.

Due to a Polk County Public Schools construction project, TheatreWorks Florida is being forced to vacate their venue on the Davenport Community Campus by June 2. The company, which has been presenting shows around Central Florida for a dozen years, has canceled its 2019-2020 season and is seeking donated storage space, as well as a new home in northeast Polk County. Their final presentation in their current location will be Vet Voices: Breakfast in Baghdad, a National Endowment for the Arts–supported project based on the real stories of military veterans. The shows on May 18-19 are free, but you must reserve seats at theatreworksfl.org.

well.” Lavigne echoes, “Collaboration is a pretty important part of our work at this point.” Cruz picks back up: “We spend all of our time together. Our relationship and our studio practice are completely intertwined; it’s not something that we planned on … [but] it’s so time-intensive, it’s nice to have a partner.” They’ve been creating work together for almost five years, and it tends toward the deceptively unpretentious. Check your assumptions: A lack of complexity doesn’t imply a lack of profundity, nor does it necessarily signal pop-culture, memegeneration irony. The bright colors and simple linework here, reminiscent of comics, explore deep themes. But cartooning, by definition, is a serious skill set that allows the artist to present complicated

Passover-and-Hanukkah

type of agnostic Jew, I ordinarily observe Yom HaShoah – the annual remembrance for victims of the Holocaust – with about as much enthusiasm as I do the Yom Kippur fast, which is to say none whatsoever. But this year, in the wake of the deadly shooting at Chabad of Poway synagogue in San Diego, and the general resurgence of racism around the nation, it seemed high time for a reminder of what the oft-repeated phrase “never again” really means. So my invitation to participate in last week’s Yom HaShoah observance at the Holocaust Memorial Resource & Education Center of Florida couldn’t have come at a better time, offering a ray of hope amid these terrifying times in the form of artwork from the next generation. On May 2, I joined Yom HaShoah committee co-chairs Sheryl Sacharoff and Toni Turocy, along with a half-dozen fellow judges, to evaluate entries in the 2019 Yom HaShoah Creative Arts Contest at the Holocaust Memorial’s Maitland campus. I’d participated in the contest several years ago, but was unable to attend the last installment. I was delighted to discover that the entries, which were submitted by students from secular and parochial schools across Central Florida, appeared to have increased in quantity and quality in my absence. This year’s contest criteria called for a broad remembrance theme, with students encouraged to create art to “express their own personal reflections upon learning about the Holocaust,” without mandating a specific theme or topic. More than 100 middle school students wrote poems, as did

Yom HaShoah is more necessary than ever as, after decades of being confined to dark corners, religious and ethnic antagonism is now being openly expressed. over 60 high-schoolers, with several dozen more penning creative writing essays. Many of the poetry submissions were acrostics (in which the first letters of each line form a word) or found poetry, assembled solely from words in a pre-existing text. The most striking poem took a Holocaust survivor’s testimony and redacted it like the Mueller report, reducing the tragic tale to fragmented phrases isolated by brutal black bars. I focused on the essays, the majority of which took the form of first-person narratives in which these American tweens and teens adopted the perspective of the persecuted. As you can imagine, some of their well-intentioned efforts were awkward, or even borderline offensive; despite the instruction to “refrain from graphic descriptions or portrayals of Nazi brutality out of respect for the dignity of the victims of the Holocaust,” a shocking number of students (largely middle school boys, natch) ended their stories with gory details of their violent demise. Others made me laugh in spite of the serious subject, such as the handwritten diary – pages painstakingly singed to simulate aging – ascribed to Oskar

Schindler, who signed off every entry with perky pearls like “OK, bye bye!” and “Oh no, the Russians are coming, gotta run!” But there was also plenty of writing that impressed me with its craft, imagination, maturity and most importantly, empathy. The first-place middle school essay prize, which will be presented at a ceremony later this month along with the other awards, went to a shattering piece about the liquidation of the ghettos that concluded with the haunting phrase “We were slaves to life, and roommates with death.” Despite being born decades after the horrors of World War II into a society suffering from digital disconnection, these students showed that they can still put themselves in another person’s shoes, which is the first step toward stopping hate. After the judging and a quick pasta dinner at Antonio’s around the corner, I returned to the museum for a lively panel discussion featuring my wife’s favorite WMFE radio stars, The Three Wise Guys. Imam Muhammad Musri of the Islamic Society of Central Florida, Rabbi Steve Engel from the Congregation of Reform Judaism, and Rev. Bryan Fulwider of the Interfaith Council of Central Florida led an interfaith conversation about confronting the kind of religious and ethnic antagonism that’s now being openly expressed, after decades of being confined to dark corners. None could offer any simple solutions, beyond (as the Imam put it), “Good people have to stand up, work together, and push back [to] put that genie back in the bottle, and not let these people destroy our world.” Part of that effort includes supporting places like the Holocaust Memorial, which, as the Rabbi said, carries “not just a Jewish message, but a universal message.” Like the Orlando Philharmonic [see Culture 2 Go, page 19], the center recently received a $10 million grant from Orange County’s Tourism Development Tax fund, which will go toward building the new Holocaust Museum for Hope & Humanity on the downtown site of the former Greater Orlando Chamber of Commerce. The City of Orlando, which owns the land and building, will lease it to the museum for $1 per year. The project, which also has $10 million pledged by private donors, is expected to open in 2023, and I plan on judging future Yom HaShoah arts contests there … until (G-d willing) such remembrances are no longer necessary. skubersky@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

JALEO-LITHIC Disney Springs aims high with Jaleo, a 22,000-squarefoot behemoth by renowned chef José Andrés

JALEO Disney Springs, 1482 Buena Vista Drive 321-348-3211 jaleo.com $$$$

BY FAIYAZ KARA

osé Andrés’ dream wall is dissimilar in every imaginable way from the dream wall of his orange-skinned archnemesis. For one, the outspoken chef/ humanitarian actually has a wall and, further, I doubt you’ll ever see “a Spanish restaurant at Disney” scrawled onto Trump’s unbuilt border barrier. Andrés jotted those words down 25 years ago as a visualization technique after noting the lack of Spanish cuisine at Walt Disney World. The fact that Jaleo by José Andrés stands today is a testament to the practice of mental rehearsal, but also to being in the right place at the right time, and to Disney Springs’ unrelenting efforts to transform itself into a culinary theme park of the highest order. Not only was snagging Jaleo, whose D.C. outpost was a 2019 James Beard Foundation Award finalist for Outstanding Restaurant, a bit of a coup, but the restaurant is, arguably, the centerpiece of Disney Springs. I mean, just look at it – it’s a 22,000-squarefoot, copper-topped giant artichoke capable of seating more than 750 people. “There are no cubic forms, no opaque walls, no

straight lines,” says Juli Capella of Capella Garcia Arquitectura, the firm behind the restaurant’s design. “Here reigns a plant-like organic structure with its dynamic forms. An avant-garde, expressionist and welcoming architecture.” And the fare – a tribute to “the spirit and flavors of Spain” – appears to complement that aesthetic: bold and colorful without being flamboyant. Sure, waiters carting around gorgeous gams of pata negra ($36) for tableside carvings is a bit much, and while I felt placing chicken croquetas ($12) on a ceramic Cinderella cushion was eye-rollingly Disney, others I dined with thought it fun. But the kitchen, headed by chef Rodolfo Guzman (who once laid tiles during construction of the D.C. Jaleo), sets whimsy aside in favor of serious takes on Spanish cuisine. “Who would’ve thought a Bolivian would cook Spanish food better than me!” Andrés boasted of his young chef when Jaleo first opened. Seriously. In addition to the tableside carving of ham, you’d do well to indulge in Guzman’s Josper-grilled whole sea bass ($46) and the

rossejat negra ($20) – a shrimp and squid paella toasted black with squid ink. Order a couple of pata negra “tacos” filled with Ossetra caviar ($18), knock back a gin and tonic ($16), finish with the classic flan ($10) and you and your dining compadre will walk away deeply satisfied. Or you can maximize your spend and delve deep into the menu with either the Jaleo Experience ($70) or Jose’s Way ($110) chef’s tasting. Both get you about 13 courses, the latter being a little more substantial with some off-menu items: rousing salmon tartare inside a pastry cone with salmon roe; an incredible octopus salad laced with salsa roja and crunched with baby cauliflower; fried baby squid with dollops of squid ink; a salad of sautéed spinach, apples, pine nuts and raisins glistened with sherry and praline butter; and on it goes. I can’t recall enjoying a better gazpacho, nor a more supremely tender grilled “secreto” – the strip of meat found near the belly of an acorn-fed, black-hoofed Ibérico pig. An anchovy- and piquillo-stuffed Gordal olive served alongside a molecularorlandoweekly.com

●

ized “liquid” olive pays homage to Andrés’ mentor Ferran Adrià (of El Bulli fame). You’ll also get plenty of jamon, as well as tomato-brushed pan de cristal (the ethereal “glass bread” from Barcelona). The juiciest acorn-fed pork sausage might follow, then gin-and-tonic Rappahannock oysters and an escalivada of roasted red peppers, eggplant and sweet onions in a sherry dressing after that. From the wood-fired paella pit, a signature rice dish, like the umami-rich chicken and mushroom paella served to us on one visit, will leave you feeling like a fattened Ibérico pig, though a pig that can likely muster up space to devour olive oil ice cream with grapefruit. When a dish missed the mark – a gin-andtonic oyster seemed to have been heavily (and inexplicably) salted on one occasion – it was duly replaced. On that same visit, a sea bass meant for a nearby table was inadvertently brought to us. The runner said it was a part of our Jose’s Way tasting, but after hearing the couple grouse about waiting for their sea bass, we asked our server about it. “Let’s just say it was your bonus dish,” came the sheepish reply. Contrite managers, servers and runners rushed to appease the fishless pair and, in the end, they left happy. And appreciated. It just demonstrates how a customerfirst approach can turn a frown the other way around. For Jaleo, which translates to “uproar” and “commotion,” that’s much ado about something. fkara@orlandoweekly.com MAY 8-14, 2019 ● ORLANDO WEEKLY

NOT SO PRECIOUS A legendary storyteller gets a lousy story in Tolkien

Opens Friday, May 10

HHHHH

BY ASHER LUBERTO

he hero of Tolkien is the legendary British writer J.R.R. Tolkien (played by Nicholas Hoult), so storytelling figures significantly in this flawed but gracious biopic. The most lively narrative, though, doesn’t belong solely to the title character, but also to the fellowship of friends he makes along the way. As it happens, the famed author, whose tales made the unimaginable imaginable, is no more than your typical Englishman. He hangs with the chaps, drinks tea and reads Chaucer. (He’s a rather boring character with whom to spend a couple of hours.) And the only things inviting about him are his ocean-blue eyes and conspicuously straight teeth – even more conspicuous when you consider he’s from England. Unfortunately, the surprises end there. Don’t expect orcs, dragons or plot twists: This informative journey through Tolkien’s formative years is more concerned with his time nose-deep in studies at Oxford, as well as his time balls-deep in the mucky trenches of World War I. Still, director

TOLKIEN

Dome Karukoski (Tom of Finland) gets his cues not from real life but from film clichés. There’s a laughable irony to the film. It preaches imagination the way a fundamentalist preaches the Ten Commandments, yet exhibits so little of it. For one thing, it looks and sounds like every other literary biopic. A hugely talented and endearingly determined writer must overcome a troubled past and an uneven present. But what’s this? A beautiful gal has come to the rescue! Edith Bratt (Lily Collins) is an intelligent, thoughtful and continuously supportive lover who presents the only ring that matters to a young Tolkien. You can’t blame him. I too was lost in Collins’ luscious locks and floral dresses. What you won’t find yourself lost in is this movie. Which is odd, given that it comes by its period detail with elegance. Tolkien’s adventures through the sunny countryside, talking art with his pals (who seem straight out of Dead Poets Society) should be entertaining. Whereas scenes in the trenches, where shrapnel takes to the

sky like a flock of birds, should be explosive. They’re not. The trouble with Tolkien is Tolkien himself. Or rather, Karukoski’s dramatization of Tolkien, since his feature fails in making a case for the subject’s ponderous talent. We are surely told of his wit, insight and command of the English language, all of which can be found in Hoult’s performance. What’s missing in the script, though, are those same attributes. It’s hard to imagine this young man growing into the author of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit when all of his dialogue sounds as if it were plucked out of the pretentious Downton Abbey. (Some of the terminology is so old you might think to fumigate it.) Still, fans will be delighted to see the birth of a new dialect – you know, the one from Lord of the Rings. If only the rest of the enterprise spoke our language.

And how she lived high off the spoils of his criminal activity until the feds got too close? Whereupon she dropped him like a hot potato and told the press she was too traumatized to talk about it – while authorizing her friends to shovel dirt on him to their heart’s content? Well, she has a new movie that’s all about how lousy men are! To be precise, The Hustle is a genderswapped remake of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, with Hathaway and Rebel Wilson as women who are out to pull a retributory con job on the fellas who did them wrong. Yes, the hypocrisy of some people is stunning – but be honest, you never considered Hathaway a paragon of self-awareness, now did you? Also not exactly adept at reading the moment: The studio heads who decided this picture should be directed by a man (Welsh comedian Chris Addison). At least screenwriter Jac Schaeffer has the proper credentials, being not only female but one of the creative forces behind girl-power paragons Captain Marvel and the Black Widow. If anybody can save The Hustle from its cynical calculation, it just might be a woman who managed to piss off millions of redditors by helping turn Brie Larson into the Human Side-Eye. And I mean that as a compliment. (PG-13) Pokémon: Detective Pikachu Ryan Reynolds provides both the voice and the mo-cap mug of the title character in the first Pokémon movie to combine live action with animation. A Who Framed Roger Rabbit for the new generation? Maybe, given the reaction of

approval-bordering-on-shock that’s greeted the project since it first got trailered. Maybe this movie is just something we didn’t know we needed until we got it. You know, like Andrew Yang. (PG) Poms If your mom doesn’t feel any particular kinship with Anne Hathaway, help her celebrate her special day this Sunday by treating her to a Diane Keaton comedy in which a bunch of retired ladies form a cheerleading squad. You’ve seen the commercials, in which our heroines throw shade on a cadre of uppity millennial bitches; now experience the discomfort of that girlon-girl crime in real time from the 14th row, wondering if it’s worth pointing out later how these intragender rivalries always seem to involve age and never social class. (Hint: It isn’t.) (PG-13)

ALSO PLAYING: Bolden Downton Abbey’s Gary Carr plays jazz cornetist Buddy Bolden, who spent the last 24 years of his short life in the loony bin due to his troubles with the bottle. Meanwhile, Shane McGowan is going to outlive every box of cereal in your pantry. (R; playing at AMC DineIn Disney Springs 24) El Chicano The A.V. Club says this story of a Mexican-American cop turned masked vigilante “isn’t much more than a shoddy imitation Batman.” Hey, Warner Brothers: There they go again, takin’ our jobs!

RETURN OF THE THIN WHITE DUKES Dapper post-punk stars Interpol return to maraud Orlando BY IDA ESKAMANI

“R

ock & roll bitch/I’m into it,” Interpol vocalist Paul Banks’ doomy baritone permeates our eardrums, anchored by guitarist Daniel Kessler’s indefectible riffs and drummer Sam Fogarino’s rolling precision. This is the Interpol of today, on full sonic display on their newest album, Marauder. After six albums in 17 years, and a mini-album set to release later this month, the dapper postpunks have struck a balance few bands in their position can: They are an institutional touchstone that continues to draw new fans in. Interpol circa 2019 meets the standards for legends. They are one of the few remaining standard-bearers of a scene that once included the Strokes, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and the Walkmen. Their seminal 2002 record, Turn On the Bright Lights, defined the modern New York rock scene, tapping into the despair and malaise of a budding generation of young people on the cusp of the new millennium, trying to cope in a post-9/11 world. In our conversation, Fogarino makes his doubts of the band’s

enduring legacy clear: “I thought, man, after Bright Lights, who gives a fuck? … When I was younger, bands that made it through a couple decades felt larger than life.” Seventeen years later, Interpol has achieved that larger-than-life status, staying loyal to their quintessential sound, which arguably kickstarted an ongoing post-punk revival. Interpol’s alchemy lies in that magnetic baritone, immersive basslines and cinematic guitar riffs. It’s a combination that remains present through all the band’s iterations, including the aftermath of the departure of their original bassist, Carlos Dengler. Yet still, fans of all demographic cohorts across the globe are pulled in by the band’s haunting and alluring siren song. All these years later, listening to Interpol still feels simultaneously like the ache of desire for a lost lover and a high school make-out sesh; their songs are consistently devastating and exhilarating. The band writes collaboratively, a process described by Fogarino as rooted in mutual assurances, “beyond respect, there’s this level of trust that just makes it easy.”

8 p.m. Friday, May 10, at the Dr. Phillips

The band’s upcoming EP, A Fine Mess, is born out of the songwriting momentum of Marauder, recorded straight to analog tape in upstate New York with Flaming Lips and MGMT producer Dave Fridmann. “We’ve managed to retain that same enthusiasm that we had 19 years ago,” says Fogarino. “I think it’s the hand that feeds itself, this positive cyclical thing that remains intact.” Interpol’s enthusiasm translates on stage, as well. Their live performances are captivating and don’t disappoint. The band has a busy year ahead, playing major festivals and touring with stars new and old like Morrissey, Car Seat Headrest and Snail Mail. Speaking to their live performances, Fogarino attests to Interpol’s work ethic. Despite their success and indelible cultural fingerprint, Interpol takes nothing for granted. Reflecting on his career, Fogarino owns up to his Florida roots, saying, “It’s where I learned how to be in a band. That’s where it started for me.” On a roll, Fogarino waxes poetic on Florida’s mix of the weird and wondrous: “Anything that happens in Florida, it has the landscape of Florida behind it. It makes it instantly a David Lynchian moment.” We assured him our readers would agree. As to the future of Interpol, Fogarino all but promised another album, yet ultimately, he yields to an elusive higher power. “It’s up to Interpol, it’s up to the force that we created.” Nearly two decades on, there’s no indication of lost momentum.

BY B AO L E - H U U HOT SNAKES | PHOTO BY JEN CRAY

This week, all the surprises at Hot Snakes’ Orlando show and all the sensory overload at Acid Mothers Temple.

HOT SNAKES, MANNEQUIN PUSSY AND WITCHBENDER, THE ABBEY, APRIL 30

Deep pedigree, white-hot output and a brief lifespan have given Hot Snakes a particular kind of legendary underground cachet. But now they’re giving their story a twist with their current postscript. After ripping three albums of driving garage punk in the early 2000s and then calling it a day, they’re back in the game, and they’ve returned from a 14-year recording hiatus with their most powerful album yet. 2018’s Jericho Sirens is both juggernaut and freak miracle. Beyond defying rust, its heat-seeking freshness seems something like that mysterious chemistry inside a barrel of bourbon that makes it ripen toward perfection over years while sitting there seemingly inert. And now that mother is being uncorked. Live, every ounce of that potency was manifest on stage. Keep in mind, not only did Hot Snakes begin 20 years ago but it was far from the first (or second, or sometimes third) rodeo for these veteran players, so there’s some sort of deal with the devil going on here. Playing with a fire as focused as a blowtorch, their performance was a clinic in torque and ferocity that could scorch even the best of their young followers. From the start, however, something was amiss with opening Philadelphia band and new Epitaph Records signee Mannequin Pussy. Singer Marisa Dabice’s voice

Playing with a fire as focused as a blowtorch, Hot Snakes’ performance was a clinic in ferocity that could scorch even the best of their young followers was so weak that this was in effect an instrumental performance. Turns out that she had fallen ill, bad enough to force the cancellation of their previous show. But misfortune spun a connection when Dabice offered to cede the mic to anyone in the crowd who knew their song “Romantic.” Well, someone did – audience member Meg Tracy – so she got up and rocked it, if not quite like a professional singer then like a total boss. The local fan went on to front the band for three songs. Not a full Mannequin Pussy show but a very cool Orlando moment. Not content to be just a local addendum to a big-name bill like this, Orlando’s preeminent noise-punk group Witchbender went eye to eye, decibel for decibel with the touring bands. Making their strongest statement yet, the five-piece band came out blasting like a seven-headed hydra for the first time ever with added muscle on electronics (Flip of Sugarplum) and saxophone (Michael Scotto of Freakazoid). The result was a maximal version of their already notable sickness, and it was absolutely flooring.

ACID MOTHERS TEMPLE, WILL’S PUB, APRIL 28

Musically and conceptually, the horizon of Japanese psych rockers Acid Mothers Temple is a wide one. They’re a collective whose door is both open and revolving. Further obscuring their identity is their fluidity of form, which has often spun off into different incarnations and names. It’s impossible to contain the breadth of AMT’s universe within the bounds of your head, and that’s probably the point. On the psychedelic spectrum, AMT’s psychoactive music isn’t your basic college drug phase shit here. A densely packed black hole of rock, psych, noise and prog, this is experienced tribal tripping that’s heavy and ancient. On stage, their cosmic reach is all there – from searing acid burnouts to outer orbit electronics – but it’s all channeled into a storm of singularity. And even though noise and frenzy are intrinsic fibers of their intense fabric, they’re woven with craft and precision. Look past their incredible whirlwind and you’ll see a band that rocks the pocket with razor instinct. Or don’t and just bake in their heavenly fire. AMT are a band with few real peers. Out on a sonic frontier ruled by savage forces, their balance and control are marvels. Embodying a thrilling paradox of wildness and command, they’re lords of an outer realm where Blue Cheer tonnage and Lightning Bolt combustion coexist in exhilarating harmony. Experiencing them live will jack your senses, fry your brain and rewire your psyche. baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

Bob Saget COMEDY

Though he’s most famous for playing the wholesome dad on the longrunning ABC sitcom Full House, along with its Netflix sequel, Fuller House, Bob Saget’s stand-up work is anything but family-friendly. He was already known for working blue before becoming the ’90s version of Ward Cleaver, but his popular image pushed him even farther into bleepable territory. His last stand-up special, That’s What I’m Talkin’ About, was filmed back in 2013, so expect plenty of new material and salacious behind-the-scenes stories. – Thaddeus McCollum 6:30 p.m. | The Plaza Live, 425 N. Bumby Ave. | 407-228-1220 | plazaliveorlando.com | $32-$50

Friday, May 10

Aly & AJ MUSIC

Aly & AJ Michalka came of creative age deeply tied into the Mouse’s media empire both musically and in acting roles, but as with Demi Lovato and Miley Cyrus, the sisters realized that following their own muse would be so much more satisfying (and lucrative) than continuing as cogs in the Disney Channel machine. So the duo went their own way, and re-emerged in 2017 with the Ten Years EP and hits “Take Me” and “I Know.” And now they’ve returned again in short order, with the upcoming Sanctuary mini-album and a tour of the same name that re-envisions the concert as safe haven and harbor for fans to be who they want/need to be. And on evidence of the recently released singles “Church” and “Don’t Go Changing,” the soundtrack that the siblings are bringing is sublime: razor-sharp but minimal pop anthems couched in sleek and chilly electronics that owe as much to Chvrches as to Bananarama and Eurythmics. And that cemetery press photo is just A+. – Matthew Moyer 6 p.m. | The Beacham, 46 N. Orange Ave. | 407-648-8363 | thebeacham.com | $27.50-$250

Friday, May 10

Greta Van Fleet MUSIC

Formed by three brothers – Josh, Jake and Sam Kiszka – and drummer Danny Wagner, Greta Van Fleet don’t have any Gretas in their ranks. But you’d be forgiven for thinking there’s a Jimmy Page or Robert Plant on the roster; the young band is frequently compared to classic rock gods Led Zeppelin – for better or worse. It’s gotten to the point that formerly clean-cut lead singer Josh has even started wearing ’70s-inspired matching vest-and-pant combos onstage to match his burgeoning mane of curly locks. The band’s still too young to have stories circulating about witchcraft and castles – or them, a groupie and a mud shark – but we won’t be surprised if it happens. Ramble on. – TM

Murs MUSIC

Murs cemented his place in hip-hop history in 2016 when he broke the Guinness World Record for longest nonstop rap, improvising a rhyme that sprawled on for over 24 continuous hours. But that’s just another chapter in the busy career of this LA rap firebrand – a career that takes in everything from the peerless Felt project with Atmosphere’s Slug, a series of collaborations with 9th Wonder, the brief foray into the world of major labels that was Murs for President, heavy-as-fuck 2017 single “Melancholy,” and the surrealist pop-culture blender that was “Superhero Pool Party.” This year sees Murs releasing a beer, Murs Cherry and Waffles, and heading out on the road with West Coast underground luminary – and collaborator on the epic, affecting “Stars” – Locksmith. And the local scene comes out swinging, represented by Sean Shakespeare and E-Turn. – MM with Locksmith, E-Turn, Sean Shakespeare | 7 p.m. | Soundbar, 37 W.

Phat-N-Jazzy 25th Anniversary MUSIC

Few dance parties are as storied, significant and beloved in local music history as Phat-N-Jazzy. By the mid-1990s, Orlando was riding an international high with a famous electronic dance scene that started subterranean but went massive, with all the diminishing returns that entails. From that underground sprang PNJ like a dope, fresh breeze, giving the deeper heads an authentic hip-hop alternative and putting the city on the map anew, this time on the American acid-jazz vanguard. Although it hasn’t been a weekly party in years, the PNJ beat goes on with periodic special events with major headliners. For its momentous silver anniversary, however, the only appropriate spotlight would be on itself and the forward-thinking local figures that were its face. As such, PNJ cornerstone DJs BMF and Slack are the feature here, and they’ll both be lugging crates of classic hot-buttered wax for the celebration. As the cherry on top, homegrown intelligent dance luminary Q-Burns Abstract Message will be the special guest. Go get down to some of hip-hop’s most golden chapters. – Bao Le-Huu with DJ BMF, DJ Slack, Q-Burns Abstract Message | 9 p.m. | Iron Cow, 2438 Robinson St. | facebook.com/ironcowcafe | $10

An Evening With David Sedaris LITERARY

8 p.m. | Linda Chapin Theater, Orange County Convention Center, 9800 International Drive | ticketmaster.com | $42-$52

PHOTO BY INGRID CHRISTIE

David Sedaris hit the public consciousness on National Public Radio with Santaland Diaries, an account of his work as a department store elf – and 10 books later, that’s probably still his best-known work. But missing out on Sedaris’ autobiographical, semi-autobiographical and/or completely imagined fictions is a big mistake. In interviews, Sedaris presents as the mildly eccentric next-door neighbor everyone wishes they had. On the page, he careens from arch bitchiness to miserable gloom to perverse hilarity; the most simple event is rendered incongruous when related through Sedaris’ screen of oddity. So even though this interview presented by WMFE-FM may weigh heavy on the pleasant 62-year-old charm, he’ll sign attendees’ copies of his books – and who knows what he’ll write? – Jessica Bryce Young

Monster Jam World Finals S P O R TS

The mega-popular touring exhibition of monster trucks returns to Orlando this weekend for the two-night culmination of its 20th season. The bigger-is-better model of motorsports pits behemoths like Grave Digger, Max-D, Megalodon and more against each other in various stunt and speed contests, scored by a rubric that guarantees each driver is incentivized to eke every nanosecond of entertainment out of their runs.

MAY 8-14, 2019 ● ORLANDO WEEKLY

B Y DA N S AVAG E

I’m a 43-year-old straight woman, and I spent the majority of my 30s celibate. At 40, I realized that while I wasn’t interested in dating, I was tired of my vibrator. I also realized that it was time to go forth and fuck with the body I had instead of waiting for the idealized body I was going to have someday. Over the past three years – despite being as fat as ever – I’ve consistently had fun, satisfying, exciting, creative, sometimes weird, occasionally scary, but mostly awesome sex. One guy I met on Craigslist was particularly great: awesome kisser, amazing dick. He came over, we fucked, it was excellent, we chatted, he left. This happened about four times. And then CL shut down the personals section. The only contact info I have for the guy is the anonymous CL address, and it no longer works. He has my Gmail address (the one I use for dating sites), but he has not emailed me. I’m not a crazy stalker (I swear!), but he once told me he teaches at a university in our area, and I managed to find his photo and contact info on the school website. So I know how to reach him – but that’s a spectacularly bad idea, right? Unless you think it isn’t? If a dude I’d fucked a few times tracked me down at my job, I would freak out. But I keep thinking: Would it really be SUCH a bad idea to send him ONE email? Should I just accept that it was great while it lasted? Or should I email him and run the risk of pissing off/ freaking out a nice guy? Can Really Envision Every Possibility Don’t do it, CREEP – don’t do that thing you already know you shouldn’t, that thing you wouldn’t want some dude to do to you, that thing you were probably hoping I’d give you permission to do. That thing? Don’t do it. You’re engaged in what’s called “dickful thinking” when guys do it – at least that’s what I call it, CREEP. It’s like wishful thinking, but with dicks. Men convince themselves of something improbable (“I bet she’s one of those women who like unsolicited dick pics!”) or unlikely (“Showing up at her workplace will convince her to take me back!”) because it’s what they want. Think of all the guys you’ve ever known who said, “She wants me!” when in reality he was the one who wanted her. Clitful thinking may be rarer than dickful thinking – women being less likely to think with their genitals and/or being more risk-averse due to socialization, slut-shaming and the ever-present threat of gendered violence – but it’s not unheard of for a woman to rationalize unacceptable behavior (contacting this man at work) or deploy a self-serving justification (it’s just ONE email) or solicit a “You go, girl!” from a sex-advice columnist when what she needs to hear is “Hell no, girl!” 54

Again, don’t do it. This guy has your email address and he knows how to reach you. And since you didn’t have all that fun, satisfying, exciting, creative sex over the last few years with only him, CREEP, I shouldn’t have to tell you to focus on your other options. But since your clit is doing your thinking for you right now, I must: Leave this dude alone and go fuck some other dudes. I have a desperate question for you. I’ve worked with a vivacious 30-year-old for five years. For three and a half years, she had a live-in boyfriend. She had a different boyfriend recently. I’m 58 years old and not good-looking. She is always sweet to me and always compliments me. She’s said that I’m a genius and a gentleman, that I’m a hoot, and that I have a confident walk. I’ve also overheard her say that she likes older men. However, a few months ago she walked up to me out of the blue and said that she just wants platonic relationships with co-workers. Then I overheard her say to another co-worker: “I put out a sign, he will figure it out eventually.” But which sign did she mean? The “platonic” thing or the constant kindness? Wondering On Reciprocated Kindnesses This probably isn’t what you wanted to hear either, WORK, but this woman isn’t interested in you – and if you weren’t engaged in dickful thinking, you’d know that. Your dick has somehow managed to convince you that you’re the “he” she was referring to when she talked about sending someone a sign. But you need to ask yourself – and it’s best to ask right after you masturbate, as that’s when we’re least prone to dickful thinking – which is likelier: She went out of her way to let you know she’s not interested in dating anyone at work yet you’re the “he” she was referring to, or the “he” she was referring to was one of the roughly 4 billion other men on the planet and not a co-worker? I don’t mean to be cruel, WORK, I just want to stop you from doing something that could get you fired or screw up what has, up to now, been a pleasant work relationship. While kindness can sometimes signal romantic interest, the full weight of the evidence here – including the fact that she didn’t send an unambiguous signal when she was briefly single – indicates otherwise. I’m a cis, white, gay male – partnered 15 years, monogamous for the first 14. About a year ago, my partner agreed to let me play on my own outside of the relationship. The rules: not when he’s in town, no one comes home, no regulars. I’ve taken good care of myself (sexual frustration + gym) – and at 50, I find that I’m attracting guys half my age. Sometimes, in the heat of passion, they call

ORLANDO WEEKLY ● MAY 8-14, 2019 ● orlandoweekly.com

“BEST WISHES”

me “daddy.” This took a LOT of getting used to, but am I going to stop what we’re doing to discuss nomenclature? Anyway, I refuse to call them “son,” because I find that creepy. “Baby” doesn’t really work for me, either – it’s what I call my partner. That leaves “boy.” Which is fine if they’re white. The problem is, some of the jaw-droppers calling me “daddy” have been black. And I absolutely refuse to call a black guy “boy.” I want to leave them feeling amazing, not brooding on race relations and power imbalances. So what does a beautiful, dark-skinned, daddyloving young man want to be called by the older white guy pounding him? Daddy’s Uncomfortable Race Relations Good for you for being able to think clearly even when your dick is hard – even when it’s buried in some hot guy – but I have to fault you for not reasoning your way to the obvious answer. You’re a white guy who doesn’t feel comfortable calling a black sex partner “boy,” which is usually what gay guys who call older partners “daddy” want to hear. But instead of asking the black guys you’re fucking what they want to be called, DURR, you opted to ask some other old white dude what he thinks the black guys you’re fucking might want to be called. Do you see the problem here? The guys you should be asking about this … are the guys you’re fucking. And you don’t even have to call a halt to the action in order to ask them! Next time you’re balls-deep in some hot guy and he says, “Fuck me, daddy,” growl and say, “That’s right, I’m your daddy – and what are you?” If he says, “I’m your boy,” then that’s obviously what he wants to be called.
