Readers react to last week’s stories. On Sept. 18, we reported that Duke Energy Florida issued an apology to customers left without electricity after Hurricane Irma. “We deeply apologize for not meeting our customers’ expectations,” said Duke president Harry Sideris. @W. Doug Lacey Stop apologizing and fix the problem. They haven’t taken care of the infrastructure. They should have updated the old equipment a long time ago, and prepared for a storm like this. All the trees are overgrown … what did they expect would happen? @Helena M. Nanasy-Loges They, along with Florida Power and KUA, promised to upgrade their equipment after the 2004 hurricanes. Guess what? Only KUA, the smallest and least profitable of the bunch, honored that commitment. @Lucy Watson We were sitting there with no power for days and what shows up in the mail during the middle of it? My Duke Energy bill.

@Daniel Rivera These companies do very little to maintain their infrastructure. That’s why he’s saying sorry. They could dig their lines so when hurricanes come we wouldn’t experience this type of problem. @Sean Rooney He has nothing to apologize for. It was a catastrophic event that caused a lot of the grid to have to be rebuilt. They’ve got hundreds of extra assets on the ground trying to make it happen. @Reagan Pape Restoration times aside, basic communications like text message updates didn’t even work. Communications. That’s what angered customers. It’s 2017, you’re a national corporation and you can’t even handle text alerts? Plenty of companies have systems in place that dispatch thousands, if not millions of text messages per day. Duke was just plain incompetent.

Hurricane Irma rips Florida a new one, Rick Scott still isn’t sure about climate change, a Polk County sheriff gets sued for pre-Irma shenanigans and other things you may have missed this week. »

Irma tears a destructive path through Caribbean and Florida:

You’d have to be living under a rock (or with no power, as thousands of Floridians currently are) to not know how Hurricane Irma thoroughly destroyed islands in the Caribbean and parts of the Florida Keys last week. After Irma knocked out electricity and air conditioning to millions across the state, thousands of angry Floridians remain hot and still without power a week after the storm. In Florida, the death toll was 34 people and rising, including a mother and her two children in Orange County who died from carbon monoxide poisoning after a generator was left in the garage. That number doesn’t include the eight elderly residents of a Hollywood nursing home who died after their air conditioner stopped working and another eight people who died in the Keys. So far, the state has listed more than $273 million in Irma costs for federal reimbursement.

@Cathy Conn Apologies are great, but hope they put some changes into action starting with a better system for updates. I was OK with no power but I was not OK with misinformation.

Rick Scott remains unsure about climate change, even after Irma:

Gov. Rick Scott says he’s still unsure about global warming after one of the strongest hurricanes on record hit Florida. While Scott was praised for his leadership during Irma, Politico reports Scott wouldn’t say whether man-made climate change was real when asked. “Clearly our environment changes all the time, and whether that’s cycles we’re going through or whether that’s man-made, I wouldn’t be able to tell you which one it is,” Scott reportedly said. It’s probably just a coincidence that after the hottest year on record, Hurricane Harvey drowned Houston, western states are burning up in wildfires and Irma was one of the most powerful recorded Atlantic hurricanes in history. Yep.

Polk County sheriff gets sued for threatening arrests at emergency shelters:

Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd is being sued days after threatening to arrest anyone with a warrant who came to seek shelter from Hurricane Irma. The lawsuit, filed by Nexus Services and its risk manager Andres Barreno, claims Barreno was denied entry to a Polk County shelter unless he showed deputies his driver’s license and underwent a background check. Judd has said his tweets threatening to take shelter-seeking people with warrants to jail were meant to stop registered sex offenders from going to these shelters. But Nexus Services alleges the Polk County sheriff was “engaging in a practice of discouraging people from seeking emergency shelter through fear, and conducting unconstitutional pedestrian warrant checks on Floridians in crisis.”

Orlando is a finalist for Elon Musk’s Hyperloop One transit project:

Finally, some good news: Orlando is a finalist for billionaire Elon Musk’s Hyperloop One project. The tube-transit technology that allows it to travel 750 miles per hour would get riders from Orlando to Miami in 26 minutes. The 257-mile route in Florida is one of 10 winning plans for the Hyperloop One project. Maybe next time we get a hurricane, all those congested highways during evacuations will be a thing of the past. orlandoweekly.com

Savannah Boan reads bedtime stories during the storm photo courteSy of Savannah Boan

gatornado! Here’s how Gatorland’s reptiles and other Orlando theme park animals fared during Hurricane Irma By Mon ivette Cor d ei r o

hat do you read to an alligator during a hurricane? Regardless of what your name for it is, it’s now the responsibility of Dominique Greco-Ryan. If your name is Savannah Boan and you’re on a personal journey to get people to adore the slithery reptiles through your work at Gatorland, then it’s going to be The Genesis of Animal Play, of course. As Hurricane Irma ravaged Florida and left millions in the dark, Boan was one of several employees at the kitschy, oldFlorida attraction who rode out the storm through the night under the watchful red eyes of the more than 2,000 alligators and crocodiles that call Gatorland home. As the hurricane advanced, park president Mark McHugh made a video in front of a gang of gigantic gators where he said this wasn’t Gatorland’s first rodeo with a hurricane. “None of our animals are going anywhere here at Gatorland, so if you see an alligator floating down your street there at your house, it ain’t ours,” a sweaty McHugh said. “Don’t call us.”

Days after the storm continued on its destructive path through Central Florida north, Gatorland reopened on Wednesday after regaining power. Wearing blue-green eye shadow resembling the watery topaz of a Florida beach and bright red lipstick, Boan was ready to get back to work in the insufferable heat and oppressive humidity, though she was stuck wearing a denim dress because her camouflage pants were dirty and the power was out at her house. As anyone who’s worn makeup in the Sunshine State knows, you’ve usually got about 10 minutes of a flawless mug before it melts down your neck in a contoured puddle. Boan’s trick to keeping her makeup intact while she shoots meat chunks into the toothy mouths of hungry alligators is Hard Candy setting spray. “It’s like putting hairspray on your face,” she says. On a tour through the nearly 70-yearold theme park, Boan points to the lagoons and enclosures containing American alligators, gargantuan saltwater crocodiles and Cuban crocodiles. As Irma made its way through Central Florida,

the alligators sank to the bottom and hid underwater, occasionally coming up for breaths, though the Cuban crocodiles stayed up all night. “They can stay down there a couple hours if they’re not moving around,” says park director Mike Hileman, his face reddened by years of gator wrestling and a preference for the outdoors. “But just like we humans, if we’re in the water exerting energy, we can’t hold our breath as long. Some of them come up every 15 to 20 minutes, others can stay under for two hours. Some of them have more curious personalities, so they’ll pop up more often.” There wasn’t much to do to prepare for the alligators and crocodiles staying outside during the hurricane – Hileman says water was pumped out of the lakes to lower them slightly in case of flooding and staff double-checked the secure fences that go around the 110-acre theme park. Gatorland’s leucistic alligators, panthers, tortoises, birds and a rare pink-eyed albino gator named Pearl were locked in secure buildings inside their exhibit. Snakes were double-bagged and locked inside their secured enclosures as well. For the most part, things went smoothly, though one employee did have to chase down a flamingo through some water (the leggy pink bird was caught safely). Before the hellish, howling winds of Irma whipped into a frenzy and buckets of rain poured from the sky, Boan went outside orlandoweekly.com

with a flashlight to see what the reptiles were doing. Peering back at her through the darkness were their glowing red eyes. Like a billion stars in the sky, she thought. Inside Gatorland’s carpeted conference rooms, employees hunkered down through Irma in the company of Jabari, a four-month-old exotic African serval confiscated from his owners by state wildlife officials, and Bullet, a 4-year-old runt alligator born with only three legs. Through the storm, Boan held Bullet in her lap (sans mouth tape) like a scaly toddler and read aloud The Genesis of Animal Play – not to educate him on the origins and evolution of play in people and critters, but to condition Bullet to recognize the sound of her voice for future work with visitors. “No one ever thinks that crocodiles and alligators are very smart, like that’s the common belief,” Boan, who oversees alligator and crocodile enrichment, says. “But I think they’re way more intelligent than we give them credit for. They prove it every single day. Everyone just says they’re just huge man-eaters, they want to kill you all the time, but really they just want to hide. So, I’m trying to change perception, and my life goal is for people to love alligators and crocodiles.” At SeaWorld Orlando and the Central Florida Zoo and Botanical Gardens, employees followed similar procedures to securely lock up animals. In a statement, SeaWorld said it secured orcas, five dolphins that were transported from the Florida Keys, and other marine animals in their pools and habitats while birds, small mammals and reptiles were moved to indoor locations. The theme park’s zoological employees stayed through the hurricane to care for the animals around the clock. The Central Florida Zoo in Sanford followed similar procedures without major incident, though spokesperson Stephannie Allen says the attraction, which sits on protected wetlands, was inundated by water. After the floods cleared, massive catfish and crawfish were stranded on concrete paths and inside barrels. Workers tossed them back into the creek and are currently working on clearing debris and uprooted trees. After Irma, Gatorland’s alligators and crocodiles crawled out of the water in a pack headed toward their islands for a little tanning under the sun, and Boan and other Gatorland employees went right back to work, eager to do a job many of them love. “If there’s an Emerald City, this is it for me,” Boan says. “The reptiles probably didn’t think much about the hurricane. They probably just thought, that girl, the crazy thing that feeds us, is back.” mcordeiro@orlandoweekly.com

Down with the Clown More than 1,000 Juggalos rallied last Saturday on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. So did 500 Trump supporters – Bikers for Trump, Three Percenter militia members, Proud Boys and others. What happened next was a surprise. By Bay nard Woods

he political heat of 2017 has finally boiled all the political chants down to their essence. “Fuck that shit!” More than a thousand Juggalos – fans of the horror-art rap group the Insane Clown Posse (ICP) – chant this perfect refrain for our insane era in front of the Lincoln Memorial on Saturday, Sept. 16. Many of them are wearing clown paint on their faces or sporting tattoos or other signs that they are down with the clown. Farris Haddad, who was introduced as “the motherfucking juggalawyer,” is speaking when the chant breaks out for probably the fifth or sixth time. “We’re talking about freaking music here. If this is allowed to stand, and so far it has been, then we definitely don’t live in a free society anymore,” he says. He’s talking about the fact that the FBI has designated the Juggalos as a “loosely organized hybrid gang” – a 2011 designation,

which, Juggalos say, has real consequences. One speaker at the rally, Jessica Bonometti, told how she was fired from her job as a probation officer in Virginia because she liked ICP-related photos on her personal Facebook page. Another, Crystal Guerrero, said she lost custody of her children for going to an ICP show. So Haddad, as juggalawyer, is trying to sue the FBI: “The Federal Court in Detroit actually tried to dismiss our case twice now saying basically that the FBI did nothing legally wrong by gang-listing thousands of normal everyday Americans.” “Fuck that shit,” the crowd roars. “That’s what we said, ‘Fuck that shit,’” Haddad responds. As Haddad tells the crowd that there is a new trial date on Oct. 11 in Cincinnati, Chris Lopez, a man with a Vandyke beard, long hair and a D.A.R.E. baseball hat walks up and hands a sweatshirt and a sandwich

to Michael Troy, who wears a suit and a red toboggan hat and sports a handlebar mustache. They did not know each other. “He’s like a brother I never met before,” Troy says, taking a bite of his sandwich. “I give sandwiches to everybody,” Lopez says, opening up a cooler and showing me a couple dozen sandwiches. “He gave me a jacket too because it’s gonna get cold later,” Troy says. Troy came from California on an overnight flight on Friday night and is planning to leave Sunday morning. I ask him why he felt it was worth so much trouble and money, which for most people here is scarce. “It’s my family,” he says. “Family has family’s back no matter what. They are there for each other in times of need.” Maybe it is the California contingent that wears suits, because a guy from Oakland who calls himself Ape also sports a suit beneath his clown makeup. He is part of a group called Struggalo Circus, which describes itself as “a ragtag and messy coalition between radicals and Juggalos.” One of Ape’s comrades, a black man,

carries a sign that reads “Black Juggalos Matter.” There weren’t that many black Juggalos. But many Juggalos and their supporters feel that class is at the center of the campaign against them. “If Juggalos are a gang then why aren’t individual fraternities gangs?” says writer Camille Dodero at the rally. “What’s the difference between those groups and Juggalos? To me … the difference with those kids is that those kids’ parents have money.” A helicopter flies over. Everyone holds up their hands and shoot it big old double birds. “Most Juggalos I know don’t have parents with money,” she says. “In some cases you don’t even have parents.” Maybe I should have mentioned this sooner, but there’s another rally going on at the same time, on the other side of the Mall. Organizers disastrously dubbed it the Mother of All Rallies – even though they were significantly outnumbered by the Juggalos. But with the exception of the Proud Boys, they don’t look like the fraternazis with rich parents. There are Bikers for Trump, Three Percenter militia-guys,

4chan Kekistan shitposters and Captain America cosplayers, each of which, like Juggalos, is distinguished by its uniform. The militia guys, for instance, wear Under Armour camos and backpacks (and had guns in Charlottesville), and the “Western chauvinist fraternity” Proud Boys wear black polos with yellow stripes on the collar and the sleeves. Pretty much all of the groups somehow see themselves as “security.” They are here to protect the free speech of Trumpists from the media and the dreaded Antifa. It’s mostly just them and the press, though, so when a couple of Antifa activists walk up to use the portajohns a palpable thrill goes through the crowd. Finally! These speakers suck! What are we even here for! Antifa! The activists are quickly surrounded by Park Police and then by militia guys. As Drew Ambrogi, who works with No Justice No Pride, tried to get close to the counter-protesters, one of the militia members told him to step back. “You’re not a law enforcement officer,” Ambrogi said on video. “They work for me,” a U.S. Park Police officer said of the militia man. But when Proud Boys came up looking like they wanted to fight, it seems like the militia managed to calm them down and keep them away. (They wouldn’t talk to me.) That’s when something kind of amazing happens. Inside this circle, an Antifa activist named Iggy stands and talks for nearly an hour with one of the leaders of the militia. “I’ve spent a lot of time trying to understand you guys, to understand the socialist mentality, to understand the communist mentality,” the militia leader says. “To me you guys are my brothers and sisters. …

Why is there that difference? That’s what I’m trying to figure out.” “It’s a divide-and-conquer,” Iggy says. “There’s not that much difference.” Some Antifa groups, like Redneck Revolt, have been actively reaching out to the militia groups. “A diversity of tactics,” Iggy says later, at the Juggalo march, where the presence of a black bloc made some people nervous. “These people, they’re not fascists. They’re definitely trying to distance themselves from the fascist movement.” He says that the further alienated these militia-types are, the more likely they are to side with the fascists. At one point, as the Juggalos marched they chanted, “One of us! One of us!” – a reference to the 1932 film Freaks. The Juggalos, the Antifa and the militia are all freaks. All three groups are hated and feared by the average Americans, the normies. But there are still very real differences. A couple of hours later, as the Juggalos march and a black bloc of Antifa activists with their faces covered carry a sign that reads, “Whoop Whoop Fuck Nazis,” I am overwhelmed by the sense that all of these competing rallies and their attendant fashions are the essence of our spectacleoriented politics. If you dress in black you may be called a terrorist, and if you wear clown paint or the hatchet man, you may be classified a gangster. But if you dress in a militia uniform, the cops will likely claim you as their own. And, we are reminded again, as protests continue in St. Louis, if you are wearing a police uniform, you can still shoot black people and walk free. “Fuck that shit!” feedback@orlandoweekly.com

Why We (Don’t) In its 15th year, the Global Peace Film Festival is all about the mission By Steve Schneider

o engage with the Global Peace Film Festival in 2017, one runs the risk of feeling like a sitting duck, or maybe even an endangered species. It’s a wholly logical reaction to an event that exists to promote nonviolent ways of living, and in a wider sense the protection of vulnerable peoples and resources. Vulnerability, you may have noticed, is suddenly something less than a national priority. In the mood to watch a couple of documentaries that trumpet the beauty and salutary effects of Florida’s natural wonders? Try doing so after having just survived one of the biggest climate-change-effected disas-

fight

ters in U.S. history, and while wondering how many more are coming down the pike. Feel like learning about indigenous cultures and their battle to survive within American society? Bet you can’t manage it without thinking about the daily push from Washington to forcibly remove any but the whitest and the brightest – a push that persists even with Steve Bannon gone but not forgotten. (Or maybe it’s forgotten but not gone.) Hey, you can always settle in for an encore screening of a tribute to one of Orlando’s most beloved LGBT activist/journalists, waiting for the updated closing credits to remind you that the icon in question is now dead. As Derek Smalls once noted while surveying Elvis’ grave, the experience isn’t exactly lacking in perspective. But if you’re expecting festival founder and executive director Nina Streich to sound cowed, or even discouraged, think again.

A New Yorker who spends several weeks here each year attending to festival planning, operations and promotion, Streich admits that she’s “scared shitless about the fact that there are at least two crazy people who have access to the button to blow us all up to kingdom come.” But she’s counting on that atmosphere of heightened urgency to motivate her audience rather than turning them off. “Where we’ve moved is trying to use the films we program to get people involved in whatever the issue happens to be,” she says. “I’m hoping that it’ll be far more engaging [this time]. I’m hoping there’ll be far more ‘What can I do?’, far more ‘How can I get involved?’” So it’s full fire-starting speed ahead in the festival’s 15th anniversary edition, with screenings and educational events now through Sunday at Enzian, Rollins College, orlandoweekly.com

downtown’s Cobb Plaza Cinema Café 12 and other area venues. Hurricane Irma forced the postponement of a few programs, like a four-film satellite event in Mount Dora that was scheduled for the same weekend the storm hit and is now awaiting a new date. (See what we meant about life getting in the way?) But what remains is still an extensive and thematically diverse offering that reflects the commitment of Streich and her artistic director, fellow New Yorker Kelly DeVine, to explore the conditions past and present that call upon us to devise new and healthier approaches to being. For example, there’s Hidden Secrets of Florida Springs, a picturesque travelogue that shows how much native gorgeousness we can preserve by curtailing human malfeasance. Water flows redirected due to pure

Olympic Pride, American Prejudice

CONTINUED FROM PaGe 13

shortsightedness can be put right again, we learn – a message sure to put a smile on the face of any erstwhile Weeki Wachee mermaid. The feature-length doc is preceded by the spiritually akin short Don’t Drain the Swamp, in which local filmmaker Vicki Nantz proves that Florida’s swamps are an asset to be treasured, not fodder for ill-considered sloganeering. “It offended me that a political candidate and his followers were denigrating the swamp in a dumb chanted metaphor,” Nantz explains via email, referring to the 2016 election. “To drain a swamp is a bad thing, not a good thing. It was not surprising that the candidate who didn’t believe in science or climate change was the one spouting a nonsensical metaphor about swamps.” The call to do better isn’t limited to this state, or even this continent. In the featurelength doc The Promised Band, we see an American filmmaker attempting to foster friendship between Israeli and Palestinian women by conscripting them into an ad hoc, not entirely legitimate pop-music group. (If you’ve ever tried to keep a real band together for more than six months, you know the undertaking is only slightly less difficult than bringing peace to the Middle East.) And since peace hinges upon racial equality, there’s much to be learned from Olympic Pride, American Prejudice, which profiles the 17 African-American athletes who competed alongside Jesse Owens in the 1936 games, and who had to weather discrimination from their own countrymen that was in many ways as noxious as the genetic-superiority narrative being furthered by their host Nazis. And then there’s The Good Mind, a documentary that follows the struggle of the Onondaga people to retain their sovereign status within New York state. Not

many viewers will likely know that there’s an independent indigenous nation with its own government located square in the middle of the Empire State, and that its citizens wage an ongoing battle to preserve their environment and way of life. That audiences will learn about all this from Global Peace is a testament to the emphasis Streich and DeVine place on staying ahead of the curve when it comes to subject matter. Just as peace itself is a proactive undertaking and not simply the absence of aggression, so is the festival’s process an ongoing effort to ferret out issues that are only starting to resonate on the national and world stage. “We want the festival to inspire people to do something because of what they’ve seen. And so that’s what we look for: What’s going on locally, in terms of what are organizations

working on?” Streich says. “So when we see a film that matches that, that’s going to be higher up our priority list. Between two films of equal creative and artistic merit, we’ll pick the one that works with what’s going on locally.” Last year’s festival was heavily weighted toward LGBT issues in the wake of Pulse. This time, that’s not as much of a focus, Streich says – although she is glad that the festival is able to pay tribute to the recently deceased Billy Manes by reshowing the 2013 Billy and Alan, filmmaker Nantz’s recounting of the legal struggles Manes faced after his first husband, Alan Jordan, committed suicide. How bittersweet it is to watch the film again, with so much of the tale told by “family friend” Anthony Mauss – in real life, now the grieving widower and Manes himself the

pined-for lost half. Those changes are encapsulated in a new postscript Nantz has added. “[Billy] and I wanted to influence the debate about marriage equality, which was unsettled then,” Nantz recalls. “It helps me feel more hopeful about change if I’m doing my own little part to help create that change.” Change thrives on discussion, so there will be panels every day during the run of the festival. Also on the schedule is a Desmond Tutu-themed photo exhibit at CityArts Factory. (A planned student photo show at Orlando City Hall and a benefit concert for Somos Orlando at the Timucua Arts White House are both awaiting reschedule dates.) Add in an online-only selection of extra films, and you have a multifaceted affair that indicates the direction Streich would like to see Global Peace chart in the future: “What I’d love to move towards is, like, a Global Peace Weekend Orlando, which incorporates a lot more than just the film festival. Wouldn’t that be great? And this is a great place to do it, because the city’s response to what happened at Pulse has been so beautiful, you know … and that’s a credit to everybody who lives here.” But whatever form the festival takes after this year’s edition is over, it’s clear that engagement is going to remain Streich’s overriding goal. “What’s exciting about the festival is at the end of a film when people are kind of leaning forward in their seats and going, ‘What can we do about this?’” The “this” she refers to could be armed aggression, environmental devastation or any other theme explored in a Global Peace film. At base level, though, what she’s talking about is agency – a healthy and constructive state of being the event as a whole is designed to foster. Hence the slogan of this year’s festival: “It starts here.” (For a full schedule of Global Peace Film Festival events, go to peacefilmfest.org) arts@orlandoweekly.com

There’s nothing like holidays for

reminding you how the years have flown, and while some may mark time’s passage in Christmases, I can chart nearly half my life by Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights. It’s been 21 years since I attended my first HHN as an employee, and 11 years since I wrote my first article covering the event for this newspaper. I’ve enjoyed a front-row seat for this fright-fest’s evolution, watching it go from a scrappy off-season offering aimed at locals to a massive marketing-driven machine with a worldwide following. Halloween Horror Nights 27, which runs on select nights now through Nov. 4 at Universal Studios Florida, is in many ways a distillation of the HHN formula that’s been honed over the past few editions. Gone are experiments like The Repository, 2016’s virtual reality upcharge. Also absent are any unifying themes or iconic host characters. As show director Patrick Braillard explained on opening night, such staples are now unnecessary because “Halloween Horror Nights in and of itself is bigger than anything we’re going to bring into the park. Halloween Horror Nights is an institution.” This year’s nine mazes feature the nowfamiliar mix of classic and current licensed intellectual properties alongside original nightmares conjured up by Universal’s creative team. I long ago gave up on being genuinely frightened (or even seriously startled) by Universal’s conga-line haunts, but as always, I marvel at the craftsmanship of their designers and the enthusiasm of their casts. This year’s creepy crop is especially impressive when you consider how quickly Universal had to recover from Hurricane Irma’s effects in order to open HHN on schedule. Here’s my subjective ranking of the haunted houses from best to meh, based on my walk through each during a complimentary VIP tour; your mileage may vary after queuing for hours.

Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights 27 is a distillation of the HHN formula honed over years past

Based on the entire torture-porn octology (including a scene from the upcoming Jigsaw reboot), the Saw maze is unrelentingly grim, nihilistic and liable to leave you feeling brutalized, just like the movies. Bonus points for guest-activated triggers among the traps.

The controversial Voodoo Queen scarezone character from 2014 returns to rule 2017 with her own house. From the half-sunken paddlewheel riverboat with slanted floors to the mouldering bayou shack, this might just be the most impressive original environment HHN has created in a decade.

Unsexy feral vampires (think Nosferatu meets Blade II) infesting a dilapidated Ohio home sounds terrifying on paper, and this house features realistically ruined sets and cool glowing contact lenses for the ghouls. But the pacing felt off during my visit, with an uneven distribution of scareactors.

The beyond the “eternal war of light versus dust-bowl setting is novel, but I found the dark.” But with awe-inspiring Gothic monochromatic environments monotofantasy architecture and bloodthirsty nous and the ending anti-climactic.

Room with a view And not much else. By Faiyaz Kara

hen Mesa21 announced their intent to occupy the old Gargi’s space on the lapping shores of Lake Ivanhoe, their promise of “the most authentic food in America” got many justifiably excited. According to one of the partners in the venture, the impetus for the restaurant was the lack of “real authentic Mexican cuisine on American soil.” Sure, hearing such bombast twitched my skeptic’s antenna but, mierda, even I couldn’t help but do a little hat dance on hearing the news. It didn’t stop there, either. Mesa21 was also going to have a tequila menu “second to none” – all that and one of the finest views nature and the permitting office could possibly bestow on a restaurant. But even as our food scene trends ever upward, it’s best not to let hopes surge. When Mesa21 opened, the menu’s promised authenticity all but dissipated, along with our inflated expectations. And this unparalleled tequila offering they spoke of? Es falso. Perusing the menu, it was clear they took the safe, approachable route instead. Nothing wrong with that, but you’d think something as simple as guacamole ($10) – chunky, yes, but way too severe in its acidity – could be done right.

oh my Gyro!

Family-run eatery in Longwood follows in the cart tracks of NYC’s Halal Guys offering platters of yellow turmerictinged rice with chicken, gyro, and falafel along with pita bits, salad, and a drizzle of requisite white sauce (an infernal red sauce is also offered on the side). One thing OMG! has that its halal cart brethren don’t: A selection of below-thefold Indian fare. Closed Sundays. 1150 W. State Road 434, Longwood, 407-960-4496; $

Zeytin turkish Cuisine

the Waterfront The fare coming out of the kitchen of this lakeside bar/restaurant isn’t just a notch above its Julie’s Waterfront days, but downright impressive. Korean pork belly with house kimchi, sesamecrusted ahi tuna with seaweed salad, and tuna poké bring an undeniable Asian bent to the menu, but fish camp classics like blackened catfish and stellar fish (haddock) and chips are worth consideration. The cheeseburger is a knockout. Open daily. 4201 S. Orange Ave., 407-866-0468; $$

BiG kahuna’s island style BoWls This welcoming Winter Springs poké joint does it right with fresh seafood options (ahi tuna, hamachi, salmon, shrimp and octopus) and a bevy of marinades, sauces and toppings from which to choose. Skip the set bowls on the menu and have fun experimenting while customizing your bowl. Don’t leave without a Dole Whip indulgence. Open daily. 1450 Tuskawilla Road, Winter Springs, 407-543-3700; $

the polite piG

It’s a hit and miss affair at this Turkish resto situated in the shabbier sector of College Park, but there are dishes that make it worth the visit. Doughy lavash with a racy ezme salad, for one, and a stellar pide (flatbread) stuffed with plush roasted beef. Kebabs like the chicken and lamb shish are worth a look, but prices force you to think twice. Pass on the moussaka. End with kunefe and a demitasse of Turkish coffee. 4439 Edgewater Drive, 407-988-3330; $$$

Local notables James and Julie Petrakis of the RavPig are joined by James’ brother Brian to bring the flavor of proper Southern ’cue to the international masses at Disney Springs. Of note: luscious brisket and pork shoulder; smoked chicken wings; crispy Brussels sprouts; and the sausage hoagie. Our baby back ribs were dry, even after a trip to the sauce bar. Cask & Larder brews, as well as a bourbon bar stocked with Pappy Van Winkle, will properly whet the whistle. Disney Springs, 1536 Buena Vista Drive, 407-938-7444; $$

nine spiCes hotpot

the pie orlando

At this MetroWest hotpot house, a conveyor belt transports ingredients from table to table for gluttonous all-youcan-eaters. There are six soup bases to choose from (the spicy veers toward the infernal end of the pepper spectrum), a dozen or so sauces and condiments, and more than 50 pot-dunking meats and veggies. Fine dining it’s not, but if you haven’t eaten for a day or so, this is just the place for you. Open daily. 5320 S. Kirkman Road, 407-704-1033; $$

paddlefish

This three-story floating fortress is the best place for seafood in Disney Springs, though the prices may have you abandoning ship. Still, the palatable fare – lobster corn dogs, fried green tomato crab cakes, striped bass en papillote, and delightful seafood boils – make the prices easier to stomach. Strawberry shortcake and a chocolate-bourbon tart with candied bacon also help. Some rooms can be louder than others, so don’t hesitate to request a quieter spot if desired. 1670 Buena Vista Drive, 407-934-2628; $$$$

The Pie offers vivid, sensual, Romanstyle pizza al taglio (by the slice) to the fortunate denizens of College Park, so if you’re in the area, pop by for a squarish slab of potato pie (our fave), or a protein-packed “meat lover” with pepperoni, sausage, meatball, mortadella and prosciutto. Slices vary from day to day, but pies are also available in personal size (four slices) or large (eight slices). The margherita, our go-to takeout order, is stellar. Open daily. 2429 Edgewater Drive, 407-757-2426; $

tin & taCo Hearty, filling tacos are the calling card for this bustling downtown taqueria. Eight bucks scores your choice of two tacos, or the same ingredients in a burrito, in a rice bowl, or tossed in a bag of Doritos. Stick to the tacos – the tortillas are sprinkled with cheddar and fried before being stuffed with sundry meats. Pass on the chips and queso. A nice selection of craft beer and sodas by Caleb’s keep things appropriately crafty. Closed Sundays. 40 W. Washington St., 407-425-4340; $ n

Boston Marathon bombing victim powerfully portrayed By Cameron m eier

eroism in the media age is an odd duck. Those who truly exhibit it on a daily basis – such as teachers, firefighters and soldiers – often go unrecognized while those who stumble upon it are worshipped. Jeff Bauman, by his own admission, lies closer to the undeserving group. He was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time during the 2013 Boston Marathon. While cheering on his runner girlfriend, a bomb tore through his legs, necessitating their immediate amputation. Despite the horrific injury, he was able to share information with the FBI that led to the discovery of one of the bombers. Thus the 28-year-old Costco chicken-roaster from Chelmsford gained his 15 minutes of fame, and then some. “He never shows up for anything,” his girlfriend, Erin, reflects following the tragedy. “And then he shows up.” What makes Bauman different from many other victims of terror is the path he took following his injury. After the shock wore off, he somewhat embraced his hero status, before rejecting it and ultimately channeling that rejection into a book, which serves as the basis for Stronger, the new film by director David Gordon Green

Tatiana Maslany (Orphan Black) is excel(Our Brand Is Crisis, Pineapple Express).

Battle of the Sexes

By STeve SC hn eiD e r ThiS WeeK: Battle of the Sexes If you ask me, the best thing

to come out of the Billie Jean King/Bobby Riggs rivalry was that they both got to do a guest shot on The Odd Couple. But revisiting their hugely hyped 1973 tennis match allows us to take a fresh look at sexism, pay disparity and a whole bunch of other quaint phenomena we’ve long since taken care of. And with Steve Carell and Emma Stone in the lead roles, expect plenty of pithy character moments even though you know how the story ends (i.e., King develops a taste for carpet). Stone even showed up at the recent U.S. Open to pay tribute to King, and I swear to God, when I saw the pictures, I thought the actress was Lisa Whelchel at first. Come to think of it, there’s somebody who might have done the world a big favor by learning to bump fuzz. (PG-13) Brad’s Status Jesus, not another stop-and-

smell-the-roses picture for middle-aged white guys. Ben Stiller plays a dad trying to get his son into college while fretting that he’s not as successful or fulfilled as the pals he himself went to school with. Bottom line: The guy owns his own home and is married to Jenna Fischer, and I still have to listen to him bitch? The one positive sign is that the movie was written and directed by Mike White, who doesn’t always hew to the most stereotypical and overworked depictions of American cultural life. So I’m going to kid myself that when Variety referred to the picture as “blindingly white,” they meant it as a compliment and had just failed to capitalize the director’s name. (R) Kingsman: The Golden Circle As Mary Jo

Buttafuoco learned a couple of decades ago, getting shot in the head isn’t the end

of the world. That explains why Colin Firth’s character is back for the sequel to 2014’s Kingsman: The Secret Service, in which the titular agency joins forces with its heretoforeunknown American counterpart. Joining bulletproof Colin for the second chapter are Halle Berry as a tech expert and Julianne Moore as a master criminal with a global reach (and hopefully not a New Jersey accent. Ever seen Freedomland? Yeesh!). There’s also an appearance by Elton John, as “a fictionalized version of himself.” Like, how is that even possible? (R) The Lego Ninjago Movie The mostly delightful

Lego Batman Movie performed slightly below box-office expectations, maybe because even its hilariously overstuffed cast couldn’t compete with the scope of the wildly successful Lego Movie of which it was a spinoff. God knows what that means for the even more specialized Lego Ninjago Movie, which is based on a franchise specific to the toy line and known to adults mostly as an item on their kids’ Christmas list that they can’t pronounce. The storyline here concerns a bunch of young ninjas battling an evil villain who happens to have sired one of them. Fun fact: It’s one of two movies opening this week that were scored by Mark Mothersbaugh. Another fun fact: It’s one of two movies opening this week that feature performances by Fred Armisen. We gotta get these crazy kids together. (PG) alSo Playing: The Women’s Balcony After an accident at a

bar mitzvah, the male and female members of an orthodox Jewish community in Jerusalem learn that they are even more divided than they had thought. Hey, it’s nothing a nice tennis match couldn’t solve. (NR) orlandoweekly.com

cappella group called “The Big Guys” with Erik Garbus, Joel Herman and one Joey Fatone, later a member of *NSYNC. The doo-wop group of teenagers would sing wherever they could – school, plays, talent shows, even Orlando Magic games. Many times, they’d go to downtown Orlando, plop down a hat on a corner and just sing. “It helped me kind of break out of my shell because I was always very shy and introverted,” he says. “A lot of it had to do with the whole language accent and that I had just moved from Puerto Rico. You’re obviously trying to fit in as best as you can, and music was always the easiest way for me to do it and express myself.” The four men remained good friends as they went through their respective careers – Fonsi went on to study music at Florida State University and took the Spanish solo route, releasing his debut album, Comenzaré, in 1998. Now almost 20 years after his career first started, Fonsi, who lives in Miami, told the hosts of New York radio station Hot 97 that with “Despacito,” his white classmates from Orlando finally understand what he’s been doing this whole time.

He invited Daddy Yankee to guest on the song, and after it was already a hit in Latin America, Bieber did a remix, which made the song’s pHOtO By OMAR CRUz popularity grow exponentially. In an age of President Donald Trump and increased racial antagonism toward Latinos, Fonsi says he’s proud that a Spanish song like “Despacito” that celebrates Puerto Rico Luis Fonsi talks about going from singing on Orlando’s corners could become a hit in the U.S. “In the times that we’re living, where to creating a worldwide hit people want to build walls and divide By MoNiveTTe Cordeiro cultures, I think this song does exactly the opposite,” he says. “It celebrates unity, it makes people want to dance.

comedy

Art worlds collide at this show, a collaboration between UCF’s Flying Horse Editions and Snap Orlando. In the past seven years or so, Patrick Kahn has reinvigorated the art scene with his Snap! photo festival and, eventually, galleries of the same name, which combine discerning curation and genuinely exciting opening night parties (it’s hard to hit both of those marks; most galleries are good at either one or the other). And FHE’s Theo Lotz is Orlando art royalty, the son of inventive local painter Steve Lotz and the current custodian and guiding light of the internationally renowned print studio right in our backyard.

Though you may expect someone a little edgier to be one of the most popular comics among fellow comedians, Brian Regan has developed a reputation for being one of the most hands-down hilarious performers among his peers. The lack of blue material in his repertoire often gets him labeled as a “clean” comic, but even a casual observer can tell that Regan doesn’t need to go blue to get laughs, and if it weren’t pointed out to you, you probably wouldn’t notice. Regan capitalizes on his clean-cut, wacky-dad image on stage, accentuating observational humor and storytelling by physically acting out caricatures of the people involved in his jokes, and often giving himself short shrift as a lumbering, primitive dummy. But his recent deal to produce two new comedy specials for Netflix – and packed theaters around the country – prove that Regan is dumb like a fox. – Thaddeus McCollum

The Church

music

our picks for the best events this week 30

Baltimore’s Ami Dang – an accomplished producer, electronic musician, vocalist and sitar player, and an outspoken Sikh-American – has risen up from that city’s fertile underground over the last few years to become one of the most exciting young experimental artists in the U.S. In the past she’s referred to her music as “Bollywave,” but that only scratches the surface of her music. Hers is a world’s worth of popular music forms across cultures, continents and eras, all melding together in avant-garde and earworm-worthy arrangements. Joining Dang for this show only is Alex Alexopoulos’ Wild Anima, a beguiling mix of ambient synths and gently patient grooves, falling somewhere between Lisa Gerrard’s solo work and Constance Demby. And ably holding down the local end is the one-human vocal orchestra Lush Agave and the dream factory of Broken Machine Films. For so many reasons, this show is a timely and essential event. It’s rare for learning and healing and dancing to intersect to this blissful degree. – Matthew Moyer with Lush Agave, Wild Anima | 9 p.m. | Stardust Video & Coffee, 1842 E. Winter Park Road | 407-623-3393 | stardustie.com | $5

music

Australian dark-alternative legends the Church are following in the footsteps of fellow postpunk outliers like Modern English and Psychedelic Furs by eschewing the overt trappings of the nostalgia circuit – package tours, theme parks – and going at it hard like a young-and-hungry band. The Church – best known for U.S. radio hit “Under the Milky Way” from 1988’s Starfish and “Metropolis” from Gold Afternoon Fix – create a beguiling sound that combines deep, almost proto-shoegaze atmospherics with high existential drama and choruses that seem to reach up and taunt the very heavens. The Church is road-testing songs from new album Man Woman Life Death Infinity alongside a rich selection of classics. If only for the chance to swoon under the gale-force wind of romance that is “Under the Milky Way,” attendance is encouraged. Afterparty at I-Bar, surely? – MM with Helio Sequence | 7 p.m. | The Social, 54 N. Orange Ave. | 407-246-1419 | thesocial.org | $25-$99

World’s Biggest Eye Contact Experiment events

In 1997, Dr. Arthur Aron and colleagues published a study outlining how he had induced closeness between sets of strangers by having them stare into each other’s eyes for four minutes and ask each other a set of 36 personal questions. Two of the subjects ended up getting married six months later. It’s a great howwe-met story, way better than having to explain Tinder to your grandkids 50 years from now. This weekend, you can get your chance to replicate those results for yourself – whether romantically or bromantically – by sitting across from a stranger at Lake Eola Park and staring into their eyes for a minute. It’s a local spinoff of a worldwide event coinciding with the U.N.’s International Week of Peace, organized locally by the Elar Institute. We can’t guarantee that you’ll hit it off with your randomly matched partner, but if it doesn’t work out, pull out your phone and start swiping right. – TM 5 p.m. | Lake Eola Park, Eola Drive and Washington Street | eyecontactexperiment.com | free

Together Pangea music

Each band on this bill is worth the time on their own. Load ’em up three-tall on a single stage, and the punch and value become exponential. Springing from the current and fertile Californian punk soil that is a foundation to entire scene microcosms like Burger Records, L.A. headliner Together Pangea are among the leading edge of today’s garage punk. As for NYC’s Tall Juan, we were at his underground Orlando debut just this summer and were completely electrified by the Latin heat of his punk rock. And the cranked-up grunge-pop of Infinity Cat Recordings’ band Daddy Issues absolutely roared opening up for Diet Cig here back in April. This is the chance to see why we’re so hot on these bands all in one shot. – Bao Le-Huu with Tall Juan, Daddy Issues | 6 p.m. | The Social, 54 N. Orange Ave. | 407-246-1419 | thesocial.org | $12-$14

Mastodon MuSIC

Mastodon may now be one of modern metal’s most definitive touchstone bands, but they’re thoroughly the product of an elite underground that is the gold standard of street cred. And if there’s any a lineup that is both reminder and reaffirmation of that fact, this is it. the sleazy humor of eagles of Death Metal is one of the most singular and delicious phenomena in contemporary hard rock. On the opposite pole of the artistic spectrum, but every bit as worthy, is the epic instrumental intelligence of Chicago’s Russian Circles, long one of the certified cornerstones of the post-metal vanguard. together, this triad of titans in their own right is a sterling testament to the spectrum, expression and accomplishment of today’s heavy music. – Bao Le-Huu with eagles of Death Metal, Russian Circles | 7:30 p.m. | Hard Rock Live, 6050 Universal Blvd. | 407-351-7625 | hardrock.com | $35-$70.50 CONTINUED FROM paGe 32

B Y D A N S AVA G E

I am a 35-year-old straight guy. I met a nice lady through the normal methods, and we hit it off and have grown closer. I think we are both considering “taking it to the next level.” We are on the same intellectual wavelength, enjoy the same social experiences, and have a lot of fun together. So what could be the problem? My friend decided it was the time to inform me that she is transgender, pre-op, and will not be having gender-reassignment surgery. This was quite a shock to me. I’m not homophobic, though I’ve never had a gay experience. I’m openminded, yet there is a mental block. I like this person, I like our relationship thus far, and I want to continue this relationship. But I’m in a state of confusion. Confused Over Complicating Knowledge Lemme get this out of way first, COCK: The nice lady isn’t a man, so sex with her wouldn’t be a “gay experience” and homophobia isn’t the relevant term. Moving on … You’re a straight guy, you’re attracted to women, and some women – as you now know – have dicks. Are you into dick? Could you develop a taste for dick? Could you see yourself making an exception for her dick? It’s fine if “no” is the answer to one or all of these questions, COCK, and not being into dick doesn’t make you transphobic. Evan Urquhart, who writes about trans issues for Slate, argues that in addition to being gay, straight, bi, pan, demi, etc., some people are phallophiles and some are vaginophiles – that is, some people (perhaps most) have a strong preference for either partners with dicks or partners with vaginas. And some people – most people – want their dicks on men and their labia on/vaginas in women. “There’s no shame in it, as long as it doesn’t come from a place of ignorance or hate,” Urquhart writes. “Mature adults should be able to talk plainly about their sexuality, particularly with prospective partners, in a way that doesn’t objectify or shame anyone who happens to be packing the non-preferred equipment.” Some straight guys are really into dick (trans women with male partners usually aren’t partnered with gay men, and trans women who do sex work typically don’t have any gay male clients), some straight guys are willing to make an exception for a particular dick (after falling in love with a woman who has one), but most straight guys aren’t into dick (other than their own). Since you’re confused about what to do, COCK, I would encourage you to continue dating this woman, keep an open mind, and keep taking things slow. You’ve got new information to process, and some things – or one thing – to think about before taking this relationship to the next level. But don’t drag

it out. If you conclude that the dick is a deal breaker, end this relationship with compassion and alacrity. You don’t want to keep seeing her “to be nice” if you know a relationship isn’t possible. Because letting someone live in false hope is always a dick move. A few months ago, I started dating someone. I made it clear early on that I didn’t feel comfortable being in a nonmonogamous relationship. They said that’s not usually what they’re into but they weren’t interested in seeing anyone else and they had no problem being monogamous. It’s not that I don’t trust them, and they’ve never given any indication that they’re unhappy with our arrangement, but I can’t shake the fears that, though they won’t admit it (maybe even to themselves), they’d prefer it if our relationship were more open and I’m taking something important away from them. Can someone who usually doesn’t “do” monogamy feel fulfilled in a “closed” relationship? Can it work out, or will they just slowly grow to resent me for this? Deliriously Anxious Monogamist Nervously Inquires Today If you stay together forever – what most people mean by “work out” – your partner will definitely grow to resent you. It could be for this reason, DAMNIT, or for some other reason, but all people in long-term relationships resent their partners for something. So if monogamy is the price of admission this person is willing to pay, let them pay it. There are a lot of people out there in closed relationships who would rather be in open ones and vice versa. And remember: What works for you as a couple – and what you want as an individual – can change over time. My relationship with my husband is bad. We have been together for 12 years, and we were married for eight years before getting divorced last year. We have small kids. We reconciled four months after the divorce, despite the affair I had. I have a history of self-sabotage, but in my relationship with him, it has become near constant. Everyone thinks I’m a smart and kind person that occasionally makes mistakes, but I’m not that person with him. With him, I’m awful. I make promises I don’t keep and I don’t do the right things to make him feel loved, even though I do loving things. We have been in couples therapy a number of times, but I always derail the process. I have been in therapy solo a number of times with similar results. I always get the therapists on my side and no real change happens. I want to change but I haven’t. I want to stop hurting him but I keep doing it. He doesn’t feel like I have ever really fought for him or the relationship. Why can’t I change? My Enraging Self-Sabotaging Yearnings

“DICKS DELUXE”

It’s unlikely I’ll be able to do for you in print what three couples counselors and all those therapists couldn’t do for you in person, i.e., help you change your ways – if, indeed, it’s your ways that require changing. Have you ever entertained the thought that maybe there’s a reason every counselor or therapist you see winds up taking your side? Is it possible that you’re not the problem? Are you truly awful, MESSY, or has your husband convinced you that you’re awful in order to have the upper hand in your relationship? (Yeah, yeah, you had an affair. Lots of people do and lots of marriages survive them.) If you’re not being manipulated – if you’re not the victim of an expert gaslighter – and you’re awful and all your efforts to change have been in vain, MESSY, perhaps you should stop trying. You are who you are, your husband knows who you are, and if he wants to be with you, as awful as you are (or as awful as he’s managed to convince you that you are), that’s his choice and he needs to take some responsibility for it. By “stop trying” I don’t mean you should stop making an effort to be a better person or a more loving partner – we should all constantly strive to be better people and more loving partners – but you can’t spend the rest of your life on a therapist’s couch. Or the rack. If you truly make your husband miserable, he should leave you. If your marriage makes you miserable (or if he does), you should leave him. But if neither of you is going anywhere, MESSY, then you’ll both just have to make the best of your messy selves and your messy marriage.
