¶ $15 is a joke
¶ September is library card month
After reading an article in the Orlando Sentinel praising a local restaurant for raising wages — to $15 an hour for non-tipped work and $8 an hour for tipped work — our Alex Galbraith responded by asking, “When are we all going to stop falling for this?” He pointed out that the average apartment is somewhere between $1,400-$1,600 per month in Orlando, and a full-time worker making $15 an hour would be spending anywhere from half to nearly two-thirds of their income on rent. “The point here is not to single out one Orlando-area business,” he continued, saying that the business itself didn’t have to raise its wages and deserved some credit for doing so. The point is that we shouldn’t live in a society where it’s praiseworthy to pay a barely livable wage.
A library card is the most valuable card you will possess in your wallet. It’s estimated the average American gains $500 annually with a library card. It could be as simple as availing yourself of your local library’s books and publications, saving you this expense. But this only scratches the surface. The benefits you get by stepping into the library itself are priceless. Today, this expands beyond books to include science kits, telescopes, maker spaces, and a wide range of programs for young and old alike. Being Florida, the air conditioning and Wi-Fi doesn’t hurt either. A library is not a mausoleum of books, however. It is the one of the most vital public spaces in America today, where civilization happens. The benefits to our lives are too numerous to list here, but one deserves special notice: the pleasure of reading. Bestowing this on your children is perhaps the most powerful gift you can ever give your family. It will redound through the ages, long after you are gone. Benjamin Franklin founded one of America’s earliest libraries in the 18th century. Most of these early libraries were limited to paying members. But as America evolved, so did our libraries. In the 19th century, Andrew Carnegie and others helped spur the growth of public libraries. Many of central Florida’s libraries date from this time. These were taxpayerfunded institutions, befitting a society based on democracy and self-improvement. So, where’s your library card? — Bryan Stewart, Maitland
@Jeri Lynn: Really engaging article. I read the Sentinel’s article this morning and took it at face value and thought, this is good news, but this perspective is also helpful. … We have an asset bubble in this country, and increasing wages (which is still important to adjust for increased cost of living) won’t fix the problem. Real estate will continue to climb. We need to do something to cool the asset markets before they pop and not make property ownership such an exclusive club; there need to be more affordable housing options. I’m not sure what the answer is, but asset prices are increasing at rates much, much faster than general inflation. I’d love to read an article about how Central Florida is combating the housing shortage crisis and what we can do to help. Thanks as always for the great content and perspective.

Turn Up Downtown Experiences this Fall By Heather Wilson
We all know downtown Orlando as a nightlife hotspot. But a whole new lineup of destinations is turning things up for those who crave elevated experiences worthy of trading yoga pants for that LBD, circa February 2020. Pick up your fork and turn up your appetite. If you’re hungry in downtown Orlando, you’re in luck. From soul food to farm-totable fresh to global flavors, diversity defines downtown as a delicious culinary destination. The Monroe, one of Orlando’s newest restaurants flowing with delightful design details, is located in Parramore at Creative Village with an airy, editorial interior that could easily be featured in an episode of Mad Men. What happens when you combine people who love to make great food with people that love great entertainment? Award-winning Häos on Church. From the team behind another downtown culinary vanguard, Kres Chophouse, this new addition to downtown fuses food and drink with Orlando’s deeply talented local performing artists to create a revolving door of mesmerizing entertainment.
RusTeak has long lured patrons into College Park for their delectable take on rustic American cuisine. Now you can get your foodie fix in downtown thanks to their recent move into the South Eola neighborhood across from The Stubborn Mule.
Raise the bar on raising your glass. Classy and refined, surrounded by carefully curated interiors and inventive libations, the craft cocktail scene in downtown Orlando is overflowing with creativity and style. Have you found your way into Mathers Social Gathering yet? It’s a speakeasy featuring historic downtown artifacts and burlesque every Tuesday evening. Oh! And don’t forget about its sister destinations: The Robinson Room with its swank-meets-industrial vibe and The Wellborn, a historic hidden gem nestled underneath the 408 overpass that successfully transports you from our urban core to a charming and cheeky garden setting born for memorable brunches. What has been touted as downtown’s first craft cocktail establishment, The Courtesy, holds steady as a jewel box in terms of size that delights with its dimly lit, intimate interior and lavish (potent) concoctions. An added fall bonus is their seasonal Nightmare on Orange Halloween takeover and cocktail menu!
Turn up entertainment IRL. Craving live entertainment at a world-class venue, albeit socially distanced? You’ll find it at the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts Frontyard Festival through mid-December, a game-changing outdoor venue in the heart of the city. And, if you’re in search of even more creative ways to spend an evening in downtown Orlando, IMMERSE, by Creative City Project, allows you to get “up close and inside art,” is returning October 15-17 with hundreds of artists and live performances spanning 10 city blocks.
Come for a night... or stay for the weekend. With so many new things to experience downtown, you just might want to plan a playcation. From a luxurious stay at The Grand Bohemian to a cozy, quaint evening at The EO Inn on Lake Eola or a retro chic pad at The Wellborn, downtown Orlando is ready for you to turn up fall in the city.
Explore more experiences at TurnUpDowntown.com.

NEW NE WS ¶ Viral video equates Florida’s COVID-19 death toll to U.S. lives lost in Vietnam War A viral video made by author Don Winslow compares the death toll in Florida from the coronavirus to the number of American servicemembers killed in the 11-year Vietnam War. Roughly 57,000 Americans died in that drawn-out and wholly unnecessary conflict, making it a rather apt point of comparison with Florida’s ongoing pandemic, exacerbated as it is by Gov. Ron DeSantis’ stubborn policymaking and head-in-sand tactics. The clip notes that Florida’s COVID-19 death toll is around 47,000 (note: It has passed 50K now) and points out that thousands of deaths are added every week to Florida’s toll as adjustments are made and new information is added. The video intersperses the sunny outlook of the thenongoing war from Gen. William Westmoreland and Defense Secretary Robert McNamara with footage of injured or dead soldiers. It then juxtaposes DeSantis’ response to questions about the pandemic with news coverage of hospital staffing shortages, overflowing morgues and climbing death tolls. The video has been viewed over a million times and currently has more than 20,000 retweets, carrying with it the hashtag #FloridaIsVietnam. — Alex Galbraith

Florida rep files bill to ban ‘divisive concepts,’ ‘race or sex scapegoating’ BY TRIMMEL GOMES, FLORIDA NEWS CONNECTION
S
tate Rep. Randy Fine, R-Palm Bay, is lashing out against the idea of critical race theory, filing a bill to ban its use in all government institutions, including universities. Critical race theory is an upper-level academic framework that examines whether and how systems and policies perpetuate racism. The topic has become a lightning rod for conservatives across the country, who claim it’s being taught in grade schools. Fine, who is white, has said the topic is inherently racist. However, state Rep. Geraldine Thompson, D-Orlando, who is Black, says that in grade school, she was taught European history. There was “not any focus at all on the free labor that our people gave that made the American economy a superpower that it became,” Thompson says. “And is it racist, then, that I only got European history? I think so.” Gov. Ron DeSantis already had issued a ban on discussing critical race theory in public schools in June, after the racial unrest following the killing of George Floyd. Thompson says she believes African American history — which is not the same thing as critical race
theory — should be taught because it’s part of American history. Thompson has filed bills advocating teaching African American history in schools. She noted that since 1994, Florida law has required African American history be taught in all 67 counties. However, she said, research by the Florida Department of Education’s African American History Task Force has shown the law is being ignored. “They have found that only 11 of the 67 counties are actually providing acceptable instruction in African American history,” she says. Thompson says what she considers “acceptable” is instruction beyond Black History Month. Fine’s bill includes a 10-point list of what it calls “divisive concepts” to be banned. The list includes topics around sexism and “race or sex scapegoating.” The proposal also bans teaching that one race or sex is inherently superior to another, teaching that the United States is fundamentally racist or sexist, or teaching that individuals are inherently racist, sexist or oppressive based on their own race or gender. feedback@orlandoweekly.com
A massive fire broke out at the Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando’s Conroy Road location last Wednesday at around 10:30 p.m., when the shelter was full due to the recent rescue of several animals from Hurricane Ida. Bodycam footage released by the Orange County Sheriff’s Office showed people carrying dogs and cats out of the burning building. While firefighters, police and shelter staff were able to rescue all dogs on the premises, the animal shelter reported the next morning that 23 cats had perished. The shelter shared the sad news on their Facebook page, noting that all the surviving animals were taken to the shelter’s Sanford location. “We are heartbroken to share that Pet Alliance’s Orlando location was damaged by a devastating fire last night,” they said. “We are very sad to report that we lost 23 cats to the fire, but firefighters and staff were able to save ALL of the dogs.” Officials believe that the fire started near the front of the building, closer to the area where the cats are kept. Firefighters and staff continued to rescue cats from the rubble of the building over the following days, though, and the death toll was eventually reduced to 13 cats, with four still missing. PAGO staff hope to catch the survivors soon and have set up food and drop traps around the area. Support from the community has poured in. Several restaurants, including Eola General and Dharma Southern Kitchen, offered specials with proceeds going to the shelter. Nearby Japanese restaurant Susuru even created a cocktail to benefit the shelter and honor the cats called the Mao Mao, served with a lucky cat toy. After directing donations of wet cat food, toys and towels to their Sanford location, by Sunday night PAGO posted on their Instagram feed: “THANK YOU!! We are amazed at your generosity! We are absolutely bursting. PLEASE PAUSE FROM SENDING PHYSICAL DONATIONS. We need to sort through what we have and see how we can help our other rescue partners with this absolute outpouring of generosity. Thank you so very much!” Monetary donations are still being accepted at petallianceorlando.org. The Orlando facility is closed for the foreseeable future and will need considerable funds to rebuild. — AG

IMAGINE! Nina Streich’s Global Peace Film Festival returns for a 19th year BY MATTHEW MOYER
T
his year’s Global Peace Film Festival opened on Tuesday — the International Day of Peace — and it’s a welcome return for this showcase of cinema with a social conscience. For the next two weeks, local film fans will have a chance to experience a challenging and well-curated slate of movies exploring themes of peace and conflict resolution. In 2020, GPFF organizers developed a hybrid model of online screenings and presentations, alongside a small number of in-person screenings, as a communityminded pivot in the face of a pandemic. “As much of a challenge as it was, we worked to present a robust festival in a new format,” explains Nina Streich, GPFF’s executive director. “All in all, we were pleased with the festival we programmed in 2020 and the engagement with both filmmakers and the virtual audience.” This year, festival organizers are expanding the number and scale of in-person screenings but keeping what worked as far as virtual screenings and events. The first week of the festival, already underway, kicked off with an opening-night screening at Enzian Theater, to be followed by in-person screenings through Sept. 26 at the Winter Park Library. Next week — Sept. 27-Oct. 3 — feature films can be viewed virtually through Eventive and free short films through the festival’s YouTube channel. “I have to credit Kelly DeVine, the artistic director and programmer for the festival with a really diverse lineup of films. I can never single out a specific [favorite] film. If I did, I wouldn’t tell anyone,” Streich chuckles. And it’s not just movies on offer this year, but a series of in-person and Zoom Q&A sessions with filmmakers, and two art exhibitions: one at CityArts, and another of art from local public school students online. “Do the Evolution at CityArts in downtown Orlando showcases the work of Leonardo Bianchi, presenting 12 new works custom-curated for the GPFF,” says Streich. “Since 2006, the GPFF has presented the K-12 Student Peace Art Exhibit from students throughout the Orange County Public School system. Their talent is amazing and their ideas are inspiring.” But has the last year-plus of unending bad news shaken Streich’s faith in the GPFF’s mission at all? “Not at all! In fact, it has strengthened my faith in film, and in fact all creative arts, as a positive force for societal change. The creativity that so many filmmakers have shown throughout the pandemic has been really exciting,” Streich concludes. See you at the movies.

Ms. Betty Reid Soskin
No Time to Waste: The Urgent Mission of Betty Reid Soskin (52 minutes, 2020) Screening 8 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 22, Winter Park Public Library Available online 12:01 a.m. Monday, Sept. 27, through 11:45 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 3
Most of the National Park Service’s more famous offerings operate on a time scale that is beyond the comprehension of human minds. History is on display at Arches and Yellowstone, but it’s a matter of geologic time. Betty Reid Soskin’s role in the National Park Service has the exact opposite effect of staring at million-year-old rock formations. The 99-year-old African American park ranger tells the history of the United States to remind guests that we’re not as far removed from the Bad Old Days as we thought, because they really weren’t that long ago. In Carl Bidleman’s No Time to Waste, Soskin’s story is put on full display. It spans from her born-enslaved great-grandmother — who was alive well into Soskin’s 20s — to the presidency of Barack Obama. Bidleman tells this story in the same hands-off manner of the NPS, getting out of the way to let Soskin explain it in her own words. Through Soskin, we see the history that America would just as soon forget. Her life connects the “peculiar institution” to the Great Flood of 1927. It runs from the still-segregated homefront in World War II through the Civil Rights era and, eventually, to her own post in the NPS as a sort of official truth-teller. Soskin’s view of history as an “ascending spiral,” hitting on the same key points from a slightly better vantage each time, is backed up by the occasional historical asides provided by the filmmakers. The hour-long doc largely serves to show history is too messy and ugly to fit on anything you might find in a visitors center gift shop. — Alex Galbraith

A still from Heyden Pedigo’s campaign commercial
Kid Candidate
A Break for Impact
(2021, 67 minutes)
(57 minutes, 2020)
Screening 3 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 25, Winter Park Public Library Available online 12:01 a.m. Monday, Sept. 27, through 11:45 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 3
Screening 6 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 22, Winter Park Public Library Available online 12:01 a.m. Monday, Sept. 27, through 11:45 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 3
In 1979, Dead Kennedys singer and agit-punk legend Jello Biafra ran for mayor of San Francisco as an independent. Biafra’s campaign was built around his caustic, nihilistic humor and over-the-top pronouncements — all cars banned citywide, all businessmen required to wear clown suits within city limits. He finished third in a field of 10. Amarillo’s Heyden Pedigo, the subject of Kid Candidate, while a denizen of the underground, avant-garde arts world, is no Jello Biafra. But maybe that’s not such a bad thing? The titular Kid Candidate, Pedigo, is a mid-20s resident of Amarillo, Texas, and though he is an experimentally inclined guitar player and part of a loose collective of outré filmmakers and enthusiasts, he’s the polar opposite of the types you’ll find at noise shows around the country. He has an appealing, aw-shucks idealism filtered through a 21st-century lens, like Mr. Smith Goes to Washington presented as an episode of Nathan for You. The film follows Pedigo’s beyond-longshot campaign for a City Council seat in Amarillo. The campaign grew out of a funny and eccentric video Pedigo made with friends that quite by accident became a Reddit sensation and a catalyst for Pedigo to turn a jokey campaign video into the real thing. Of course, anyone watching this film can (spoiler alert) telegraph Pedigo’s loss from the opening credits, but the thrust of the film is Pedigo unexpectedly growing into his role as a candidate, bereft of guile and, by his own choice, campaign donations. What started as something absurd becomes something that could legitimately impact lives, muses a wide-eyed Pedigo early on. As much as it is a look at Pedigo’s political journey — aided and abetted by his supportive wife, ragtag artist friends, a delightfully caustic local lawyer and activist, and heartfelt interactions with the South Sudanese immigrant community — it’s also an investigaton into and indictment of the old money oligarchy (emphasis on “old”) that holds Amarillo’s civic life in tight, gilded clutches. Confounding expectations from the start, Kid Candidate is an endorsement for giving a damn about where you live. — Matthew Moyer

ORLANDO WEEKLY ● SEPT. 22-28, 2021 ● orlandoweekly.com
College spring break can be a mind-altering experience, no matter what you spend the week doing. For a group of UCF students, their 2020 trip was a true eyeopener. While Texas’ South Padre Island hosted its usual party influx, this group was 45 minutes away in Brownsville, at one of the more than 300 U.S. Customs and Border Protection ports of entry. University of Central Florida legal studies professor Irene Pons and four students from her Immigration Law and Policy class, accompanied by a UCF videographer, traveled to the southern border to volunteer with a legal organization handling asylum seekers. When that group nixed video documentation, they had to switch gears. They ended up assisting a group called Team Brownsville in their humanitarian efforts at the Matamoros tent camp, the largest gathering of U.S. asylum seekers in Mexico — distributing food and clothing, helping with art classes for the children. While there they met members of a group called Witness at the Border, and ended up witnessing — and, crucially, documenting — much, much more than they had expected to see. While the lack of sanitary facilities and basic human necessities in the camp was distressing, and the system of which and how many immigrants are allowed to cross over seems cruelly arbitrary, the students observe something much worse: the deportation flights in which the United States ships shackled men, women and children to Honduras and El Salvador, regardless of their country of origin. The level of effort the CBP puts in to attempt to hide what they’re doing, and how they do it, is telling, amounting to an admission of shame. And who knows? Shame is as likely, if not more so, than nobility to motivate change. As Lee Goodman of Witness at the Border says while the students record the proceedings, it’s important to “make sure that the doers know that there are watchers.” History is repeating itself right now with thousands of Haitian migrants camping under a bridge in Del Rio, Mexico. Who will be the watchers? — Jessica Bryce Young

Leo Bianchi’s sinuous, wiggly-squiggly characters draw attention, then spark intention BY JE SSICA BRYCE YOU N G
A
1974 pop single that could be the ing in the viewer and turning that grin unofficial theme song of the Global outside-in. Argentine-born Bianchi, a designer Peace Film Festival asked plaintively, “What’s so funny ’bout peace, love and currently working with Orlando-based understanding?” At the 2021 iteration of branding firm Larimer & Co., brings a GPFF, artist Leo Bianchi brings a dozen vintage-cartoony vibe to his works. He’s pop songs to visual life in service of the inspired by the “rubber-hose style” (so fest. Not that one, but still, it’s a playlist called for the characters’ rubbery, jointless deeply concerned with change for the limbs) of early animators like Ub Iwerks, Tex Avery and the Fleischer better.

Warlando Orlando Amphitheater Saturday, Sept. 11
H
eavy metal festival Warlando took over the Orlando Amphitheater at the Central Florida fair for a day of metal and mud on 9/11. Metalheads and moshers — and cinematic slasher Jason, somehow also in the audience — raged to the likes of Soulfly and Sabaton. Headliners and British metal legends Judas f***ing Priest capped off the event to a rapturous response, with singer Rob Halford dressed to the biker nines. Matt Keller Lehman was truly hellbent for leather when capturing these shots. See the full gallery of his pics at photos.orlandoweekly.com.

I first became aware of Halloween
Horror Nights as a fledgling Universal Orlando employee in 1996, when I was assigned to hang lights for a haunted maze and instantly fell in love with the event. Since then I’ve been present for every milestone from Jack the Clown’s birth to Bill & Ted’s death, and attended nearly every annual edition — usually on the rain-soaked opening weekend — as a team member, media rep or paying guest. So I probably wouldn’t have believed it if you’d told me a quarter-century ago that I’d attend the 30th edition … and exit long before midnight because I was bored. Don’t get me wrong: The scenic designs of this year’s 10 haunted houses (three of which premiered during last year’s abbreviated Halloween Horror Lite daytime event) remain second to none, headlined by a faithful recreation of The Haunting of Hill House sure to thrill fans of the Netflix series. As befits the big anniversary year, the original houses delve into HHN’s Byzantine lore and highlight past icons; there are plenty of fan-service Easter eggs, but flashlight-wielding attendants hustle crowds through too quickly to absorb them. While the best of this year’s crop, the horrifically herbaceous “Wicked Growth,” ranks with Universal’s all-time greats, others (like the toothless Texas Chainsaw Massacre rehash) simply seem worn out. The only new element at HHN 30 that truly recaptures the electric energy of the event’s earlier years is “Halloween Nightmare Fuel.” Created by writer-director Jason Horne with inspiration from magician Magus Utopia, this explosive fusion of illusions, acrobatics and fiery choreography is the Fear Factor Live stadium’s first must-see show in years. To cope with the coronavirus, Universal has concealed
their actors behind unthemed face masks and smudgy barriers (although patrons are permitted to be unmasked) or positioned them on elevated platforms, further blunting the fright factor in an event whose operations have increasingly emphasized selfies over actual scares. Fortunately, by taking advantage of the Stay & Scream holding area in Central Park, I was able to experience half of the haunted houses before the event had officially been open for an hour, and I saw everything new on offer by 11 p.m. without buying an Express Pass. In the old days, I would have invested in a Frequent Fear season pass (which has skyrocketed in price) and revisited HHN again and again, but in 2021, Orlando haunt fans simply have too many other options. For that fact, fans have to thank Patrick Braillard, who has certainly earned his title this year as “the hardest working man in Halloween.” Not only are the mazes he created last year as a Universal show director before being furloughed prominently featured at this year’s Halloween Horror Nights, he’s also creative director of the inaugural Howl-O-Scream event that SeaWorld has launched as a direct challenge to HHN’s dominance. In addition, he’s an adjunct professor in the themed experience degree program at UCF, and the co-creator of a crowd-funded horrorthemed card game (ohthehorrorgame.com) that will be released as soon as it arrives on a slow boat from China. I caught up with Braillard at the media preview for yet another of his Halloween projects, the Scream n’ Stream drivethrough experience (screamnstream.com), which relocated for its sophomore edition from the Boggy Creek swamp to the farmore-convenient Oviedo Mall parking lot.
Braillard has crafted a witty, self-aware sci-fi script for this self-driven interactive dark ride, which lets passengers pew-pew with laser-tag guns against legions of zombies, clowns, zombie-clowns and big effing monsters. (Pro tip: Roll up your windows, but open the sunroof.) Scream n’ Stream’s aggressive actors and special effects are shockingly effective, and with moderate per-carload pricing and virtual queues to reduce waiting, this 25-minute-plus experience provides considerable bang for your buck. According to Braillard, the attraction is intended not only to appeal to hard-core haunt hunters, but also to serve as “a great gateway drug for children to get into the horror genre.” He added, “My 9-year-old son will hate this event, but my 7-year-old daughter’s gonna love it.” If anyone should be over Halloween by now, it’s Braillard, who has been bouncing nonstop between his various projects. But despite operating on five hours of sleep as Scream n’ Stream’s media preview got underway, his enthusiasm proved infectious. “It’s been such an interesting year, because it’s reinvigorated me, in the idea that I’m back to basics. I think that everybody [in themed entertainment] had that reset,” says Braillard, “and I think everybody is going back to those basics of storytelling.” Although 2020’s disruption to Orlando’s massive monster-making industry was painful, Braillard now sees a silver lining in the shadows. “We’re getting back to the jobs that we’re supposed to be doing and finding different places and niches to do that, which is absolutely wonderful,” he says. “I’m looking forward to what the future holds.” skubersky@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

DAANA PANI INDIAN BISTRO 1155 Doss Ave. 407-986-9864 daanapanifl.com $$
GOOD GUJU
PHOTOS BY ROB BARTLETT
Daana Pani lures you in with an all-veg roster of Gujarati fare BY FAIYAZ KARA
A
sure sign of a city’s culinary vitality is the rise in restaurants specializing in regional variants of a cuisine. In the case of fare from the Indian subcontinent, there are two local restaurants (that I know of ) showcasing the gastronomy of Gujarat, a predominantly vegetarian province in the westernmost reaches of India. Khasiyat on West Lancaster Road is one, and Daana Pani, situated inside the Laxmi Plaza on South OBT, is the other. The latter moved in when South Indian veg restaurant Bombay Café vacated the space and reopened down the street as Bombay Street Kitchen. Daana Pani (translation: “Seeds Water”) doesn’t mince words in its name, nor does it mince anything on its menu — yes, this is a vegetarian restaurant. It’s a weighty bill of fare, half of it packed with commonplace offerings you’d see at any Desi restaurant, but Daana Pani’s Gujarati specialties (highlighted in green on the menu) drew our focus. Items like the khaman dhokla ($6), a steamed spongy and savory cake made from gram flour, cilantro and mustard seeds. They’re a favorite snack of mine, but not the ones served here. The batter for these cakes needs time to ferment — it’s what gives dhokla their characteristic bite. These had none, and dressing them with slivers of jalapeño (as opposed to fried green chilies) was a fail on both flavor and
aesthetic fronts. Tamarind and green chutneys have their place in Indian cookery, but dhoklas need their own, like a thick, redhot dipping chutney. OK, now that the unpleasantries have been addressed, let’s get to the good stuff — because there’s plenty of it. The pattice kachori ($6), deep-fried potato balls spiced and stuffed with coconut and nuts, are a great start. So is the pani puri and its infernal “water,” and the plate of six assorted samosas. Apart from the triangular pastries stuffed with the usual spiced potatoes and peas, there are paunchy numbers enveloping Italian (spinach, artichoke, three-cheese blend) and Mexican (black beans, corn, cilantro) flavors. If you’re like me and enjoy the “head tingles,” the battered-and-fried whole green chilies will have you scratching at your scalp and wiping away sweat. Snacks aside, there are substantial dishes at Daana Pani that lend plenty of Guju comfort. Undhiyu ($12), for one, is a thick dry curry teeming with green bananas, eggplant, squash, potatoes, peanuts and chickpeas. It’s served with puri — the puffed fried bread that’s fattened the coffers of cardiologists in India for decades. Shred the bread and scoop up some curry, and don’t forget to ask for a side
BY FAIYAZ KARA
of raw onions and chilies — it’s all a part of the comfort. Then there’s khichdi ($6) and bateta ($11), arguably Guju cuisine’s most comforting dish. Khichdi is rice and lentils cooked down to a risotto-like texture; bateta is a simple preparation of potatoes cooked with tomatoes, spices, curry leaves and mustard seeds. Together, they’re absolute bliss. Again, enjoying the dish with a side of onions and chilies is integral to the experience. Papdi no lot ($8), a heftier option, is made by steaming a batter of rice flour, chilies, cumin and carom seeds into a mound. It’s sprinkled with sesame seeds, then dressed with a little oil and pickle masala, both served on the side. But it’s the carom seeds, or ajwain, that really impart the distinctive earthy, aromatic thyme-like essence to the dish. A crisp papadum version of it is served with the pav bhaji thali ($16), a large plate comprising smaller dishes of four curries — black, green, red and Amul, a Gujarati processed cheese. The curries are enjoyed with soft buttered rolls, but there’s more to the platter: white rice, khada pulao (a spiced pilaf ), samosa, green chutney, raw onions and a ball of gulab jamun for dessert. The thali is great for sharing, but if one gulab jamun ball isn’t enough, the restaurant’s sweets shop across the hallway has a dazzling array of mithai on display. In fact, the confectionery plus bistro is what Daana Pani is made of: sugar and spice and everything nice. fkara@orlandoweekly.com

THE PINERY
Like Russell’s across the street, the Pinery plays up Ivanhoe Village’s pineapple farm roots with a striking interior. Dishes, on the other hand, don’t incorporate the fruit as much as you’d think, but there’s plenty of worthy comfort to be had in cornbread creamed corn, pecan-crusted grouper and Frenched pork chops with bourbonapple sauce.

Intrusion — Freida Pinto plays a woman who suffers serious trauma after she and her husband survive a home invasion in their new neighborhood.

Fortunately, it’s just Ted Cruz sneaking out of town again.

SONGS OF FAITH AND DEVOTION
Fast-rising pop-punk trio Meet Me @ the Altar got their start right here in Orlando BY IDA V. ESKAMANI
T
he floors are almost as sticky as the humid Florida air. It’s the summer of 2017, and a five-band bill is about to kick off at Orlando’s Uncle Lou’s Entertainment Hall. Guitarist Téa Campbell of Meet Me @ the Altar is preparing for the band’s live performance — while simultaneously working the door. It’s a show the guitarist booked herself. “The Orlando scene is where we real-
ly built out our initial following,” says Campbell, “where we got our start.” And why Uncle Lou’s for this important night? “That was the only venue that would take us!” she laughs, acknowledging the absurdity of one of the most sought-out acts in pop-punk today not being able to find a venue to play just four years ago. “I hit up the owner on Facebook, and I was like, ‘Hey, can my band play at your

venue? I’ll book the show and everything!’” Fast forward to the present day, and Meet Me @ the Altar are seemingly on the way to world domination, sharing stages across the country with big-time headliners like Coheed and Cambria and the Used. Orlando Weekly featured the Davenport band in our final issue of 2020, in a roundup of our favorite musical bands, songs and happenings from an otherwise downer year. In that piece we noted: “In a scene dominated by cisgender white guys, this trio of women of color comprising vocalist Edith Johnson, guitarist Téa Campbell and drummer Ada Juarez represent the future of pop-punk, and under their leadership it is very bright, especially for Black and brown girls.” We were not alone in our admiration. Teen Vogue, Billboard, Rolling Stone and the New York Times have all since joined the chorus. Founded in 2015, Meet Me @ the Altar may have cut their teeth in the Orlando scene, but they are a band born out of the world wide web. Until recently, the trio lived in three different states and met via YouTube. They wrote all their songs remotely, via text message and voice notes. orlandoweekly.com
●
Even their band name manifested from a text thread. During these extraordinarily strange times, their ability to create art apart has allowed the band to thrive in the midst of a global pandemic. It’s also how, last summer, Dan Campbell of pop-punk stalwarts the Wonder Years discovered and tweeted about their song “Garden.” Alex Gaskarth from All Time Low followed, and then came recognition from singer Halsey’s Black Creators Fund. Already gathering a following, the band quickly caught fire through social media, and soon signed on with Fueled by Ramen, a label known for launching acts like Paramore, Twenty One Pilots and Fall Out Boy. The internet allowed the trio to meet, but it was a mutual love for pop-punk combined with a shared identity as femmes of color in a scene of predominantly white men that bonded them. Campbell credits youthful optimism for allowing the band to not even consider the possibility that poppunk wasn’t made for them. “I think that’s the beauty of us forming so early. Because there was almost a naiveté to it,” Campbell says. “We didn’t know what the scene actually held, so we didn’t think like, ‘Oh damn, this scene is probably not gonna want us in there.’ We were like, ‘Yeah we wanna be there, we’re gonna fuckin’ do it!’” She pauses, briefly, then adds triumphantly, “And we did it!” By all metrics, they have indeed done it. But Meet Me @ the Altar isn’t stopping anytime soon. They are determined to take over the world, and to inspire young girls of color to claim their space along the way. Their recently released debut EP, Model Citizen, and tracks like “Hit Like a Girl” and “Garden” center this shared identity with a catchfire confidence and unfettered ferocity. On stage, Meet Me @ the Altar’s energy devours you. This is a band that knows their power, and wants to make sure girls like them know theirs too. “We went from playing small shows in Orlando, to nothing, to Coheed and Cambria, it’s absolutely insane,” says Campbell. “With the perspective we have now, we’re so aware of how important it is for people who look like us to be on stage with bands like Coheed and Cambria.” She also promises an Orlando show in 2022. “When we’re Paramore’s size, we gotta go back to Uncle Lou’s,” Campbell adds with a laugh. Uncle Lou, if you’re reading this — keep an eye on those Facebook DMs. music@orlandoweekly.com

THE CHANGING MAN Orlando freak maestro Danny Feedback celebrates a triumvirate of new albums BY MATTHEW MOYER

The songs on After Hours were built ere’s a little secret for you, courtesy of Orlando Weekly: Local music around unearthed and unfinished fouriconoclast and showman Danny track tapes from the much-missed Clock — a Feedback, renowned for raucous sets that close friend and collaborator of Feedback’s involve over-the-top theatrics, costume for many, many years — and fleshed out by changes aplenty, harrowing musical twists Feedback and many of Clock’s extended and turns, and confounding lack of concern musical family.

I worked up an acoustic set. It it would be the studio work.

the forced break in road gigs, preferring to spend the time finishing up new music. These days, the man who commands stages like a demented mix of Zappa’s Mothers of Invention and the Butthole Surfers values his recorded music as a more permanent mark of his work. “Playing live is fun, but it’s so cool when you can actually get into a studio and have fun and record an album, and you have that forever. That never dies,” says Feedback. “I just cherish that so much more than playing live shows.” Feedback also spent a good portion of his pandemic “downtime” (we’re using that word very liberally) writing a script for and filming a movie with his bandmates, and it looks like a cross between the Monkees’ Head and Twin Peaks. Feedback booked the shoot like a tour, with filming happening in successive cities on successive days up and down the East Coast in cities like Savannah, Charleston, St. Augustine and Asheville. “It was fun because usually we do more comedic stuff,” Feedback says. “It’s still sort of comedic but it’s definitely like dark comedy … it gets a little bit gross, it gets a little bit nasty, it gets a little bit deranged.” Though this film won’t see the light of orlandoweekly.com

day until at least the winter, the advance footage we peeped looks very promising and Feedback promises a proper local screening at some point. But back to the release show. On the night, Feedback will be supported by fellow Orlando music lifers Steve Garron & the Guarantees and Trash Cinema, an offshoot of Yogurt Smoothness. For his part, Feedback promises a set mostly centered around The Hardest Working album, some material off the unplugged album and even a song by Clock … and of course, a “good wardrobe selection.” “I’ll try not to be too revealing, but if I think I can get away with it, it might be sort of revealing,” Feedback laughs. And lest ye worry that all this talk of studios and prioritizing recording means Feedback is becoming a Brian Eno-esque boffin, fear not, he’s still a firm believer in putting on a good show for the people. “I’m not going to stand still like a statue just to play the songs perfectly. I’m going to jump around and have fun, and that keeps the band having fun, and now the crowd’s having fun watching the band,” says Feedback. “You might as well entertain it if you’re up on stage.” music@orlandoweekly.com

LOCAL RELEASES
If you haven’t been following prog rockers Galia Social, then you’ve got some catching up to do. At least to India, where the Orlando band have interestingly caught some fire, enough even to have been featured in Rolling Stone India in 2020. Galia Social’s debut concept album, Rise, has been out since last year. But the local duo of guitarist-vocalist Christian Logaglio and drummer Colby Peters just released a mega 41-minute video on YouTube that’s basically a professionally shot visual of that record in its continuous entirety, and the video’s every bit as sleek as their sound. This week, you can also see Galia Social on stage when they play Will’s Pub with Zapachi and Breed (8 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 23, $10). If that’s too short notice, they’ll also be performing next month at the Creative City Project’s Immerse Fest (8:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 16, Church Street Stage). Some other recent local releases, however, show that fidelity need not be high for the music to click. To wit, the latest album by Delirious Kicks — the bedroom recording project of Orlando’s Eric Paul Bass — revels in its rags. Towards the Glow comprises 10 effervescent nuggets of fuzzed-out indie rock that is proudly lo-fior-die. It’s up on Bandcamp as a generous name-your-price download. Hesitant Waitress — the new indiepop vehicle of Orlando musician Emma Branch that just debuted this summer — also dropped two daydreaming new singles in short order that prove you don’t need the gloss to shine. “Produce Some Happiness” and “Maybe Not Today” may both be economically produced tracks, but the actual songs are very much there, with all the melody and heart needed to

“POWER TRIPPING” I’m a 26-year-old masculine straight guy who loves exploiting the fantasies so many gay men have about straight men. When a gay guy is into me because I look like his straight-masculine-jock dream, it’s a power trip like no other. It’s always a specific type of bottom gay dude I seek out when I get on Grindr: a very feminine “thicc” guy with a pretty face and physical features begging for a dick. And I always follow the same script: I send my dick pics, I make one of these thicc bottom boys want me, and I tell him to send me a video of him twerking like a stripper for me. But I don’t go through with the meetup. I’ve experimented a few times and have gotten head from a few guys, but I have no interest in dick or fucking one of these dudes. I don’t want to harm anyone or live a lie, but I don’t feel queer or bisexual at all. I actually feel like I’m proving to myself just how straight I am by teasing these gay guys. And in all honesty, I feel like I’m doing them a service because a lot of gay guys are looking for that rare, mythical thing — the straight and strict Dom top — and I can play that role. But on some level, this all seems pretty fucked up and I don’t know why I do this and sometimes I’m confused by it. I also worry this comes from a homophobic place. (“Look at this dumb twink, he’s so stupid and obsessed with dick he’ll do whatever I tell him to, I’m the alpha.”) And I guess it is homophobic because when you remove the intensity and power trip of being the straight male in this scenario, I just have no interest in guys at all. I know this was heavy. Sorry. But please answer my question. Ally Loves Personifying Homophobic Assholes “I don’t see any major problems with this, and I’m not fully clear on what he perceives his problem to be,” says Alexander Cheves, the famed gay sex writer, author and columnist. “For gay men, straight men can be a kink, and the reverse can also be true. Regardless of how he identifies, ALPHA enjoys dominating feminine gay men, who he ultimately denies. Sexual withholding — denying and being denied sex — is part of many fetishes and is really hot. So this guy’s kink involves withholding and, like many kinks, it involves role-play. He’s role-playing as ‘the straight strict Dom top.’” And that’s fine, ALPHA. There are lots of gay men are into “straight strict Dom tops,” as you already know, and you’re giving these men something they want. You’re not giving them everything they want — you’re not meeting up with them — but you’re not obligated to give them everything they want. 44
“We all enter Grindr chats willingly, and we should do so knowing that anyone we talk to may have no plans of following through with their promises to meet,” says Cheves. “Many queer men do the same — talk and tease with no intention of meeting — and for similar reasons. The guys he is messaging are chatting with him consensually, so I don’t see any consent violations.” Now if you were uploading or sharing the video clips these guys make for you without their knowledge, ALPHA, that would be a very serious consent violation. It would also be a crime in many places. But if feeling powerful and/or powerfully desired is all you want, ALPHA, and these femme thicc boys are willing to meet that need for you, and you’re meeting a need for them, there’s nothing wrong with what you’re doing. “Even the homophobia bit is not alarming to me,” says Cheves. “Shame, stigma, and prejudice have their place in many fetishes. I think these things often lead to fetishes in the first place. So long as ALPHA isn’t committing violence against these men or causing them harm, I don’t mind that he likes degrading them. I like guys who degrade me and call me a faggot, and I don’t much care if this fun part of my sex life comes from latent homophobia in me or the men I play with.” There’s a big difference between screaming homophobic slurs at someone on the street and seeking out gay men who enjoy what linguist John McWhorter described on my podcast as “theatrical subjugation.” While homophobia unquestionably shaped the desires of the men who find your schtick appealing, ALPHA, you’re not promoting homophobia or justifying homophobic violence. And if you were to decide you are some kind of gay or some kind of bi or a whole lot of heteroflexible, ALPHA, you wouldn’t be the first Dom top who liked feminine gay men but had zero interest in dick. Some gay bottoms are fine playing with tops who ignore their dicks; some gay men get off on having their dicks ignored. And since some trans men are gay and some trans gay men are femme and some trans men are subs and not all trans men — gay or otherwise — get bottom surgery, ALPHA, that means there are lots of gay men out there without dicks for you to choose from. “But unless he calls himself gay, he’s not gay,” says Cheves. “Being gay or queer isn’t really about the chemical processes of arousal in the brain and body. It’s a willingness to be one of us, to claim oneself as part of our tribe. If he doesn’t feel the need to do that or thinks doing so would be disingenuous — indeed, if he must be straight

for this kink to work — then he’s straight. As long as he’s doing no harm — just having hot, consensual Grindr chats with guys before ghosting them — he can be whatever feels true for him.” Alexander Cheves is a columnist for OUT magazine and runs the popular “Love, Beastly” advice blog. His new book My Love Is a Beast: Confessions comes out next month. Follow him on Twitter @BadAlexCheves. I call bullshit on RUBBED’s letter and query about reporting her former massage therapist. Business relationships can turn into friendships and friendships can turn into something more. In this case he fucked up, he should have been monitoring his emotions better, but she was a willing and equal participant in their evolving connection. But she says she “went into instant shock” when her “very close friend” of three years told her he had feelings for her? SHOCK? Did she call 911? She seems to want it both ways: She wanted him to be her “very close friend” while at the same time maintaining a professional distance. Her reaction could have simply been, “I don’t feel that way about you, and I can’t see you anymore.” I think your advice was correct, Dan, but something about the tone of letter rubbed me the wrong way. Perhaps it was the total lack of empathy for her “very close friend” (sorry, I can’t help myself) who has also suffered in this, even if it was a consequence of his mistake. Getting Outraged Over Dumbass Letter On Rainy Day People are allowed to have a WTF moment when something blindsides them — and RUBBED sounded blindsided — but I agree that she’s overreacting. Also, her former massage therapist is already out of work, GOODLORD, as some other readers pointed out. The business RUBBED helped him get off the ground shut down during the COVID-19 pandemic — a pandemic that’s still raging, thanks to all the idiots out there who refuse to get vaccinated.
