Readers react to blog posts and stories from the Sept. 19 issue. On Sept. 21, we reported on the closing of downtown Orlando corner shop Handy Pantry after almost 100 years in business. The convenience store-slash-sandwich shop has been operated by owners Dev and Arati Rai for about 17 years, but the Handy Pantry has been a business in Lake Eola Heights since the 1920s. @Alan Horne All of you saying you are so sad, if you don’t patronize a business, it will leave. Think about what store is next that still needs your support. @Joel Leppard Dude, I eat there three times a week. I have a special named after me. It’s called the “Joel Special.” They have my phone number memorized. My gf doesn’t even have my phone number memorized! @Kimberly Lebaron Thornburg OMG!! I never thought this would happen. I loved going there, such a GREAT and wonderful little store. @Robert Hamlin This sucks! Love that lil place! Breakfast sandwiches and coffee out front many times. Too bad and very sad!
@Cynthia Blanzenski Orlando will never be the same. Sad. Also on Sept. 21, we wrote about the Florida GOP making Democratic House candidate Anna Eskamani look cool as hell in their attack mailers. Over the past couple of weeks, the Florida Republican Party has paid for two mailers, both showing Eskamani in a leather jacket and aviator shades, holding a megaphone alongside quotes like “I don’t take sh*t ever” and “f*ck the patriarchy.” @Rachel Andre Yeah, bad words are a no-no, even when expressing outrage, but sexual assault on women and children, cheating on one’s spouse, lying, hypocrisy are all OK for the Grand Ol’ Party! @Nicole Solbrite Have you noticed that the GOP is also so afraid of a woman in a leadership position that they have to degrade her in very gender-specific ways? Scare tactics won’t work, honey. @Mary Lou Postcards brought to you by the very people who see nothing wrong with a “man” (read that “pedophile”) who brags about grabbing whatever woman he wants to by the pussy. Anna is going to rock this state. F*CK ’EM!!!!!

Publix frees the beard: Publix made news last week when the supermarket

SeaWorld, former CEO fined $5 million after being accused of downplaying ‘Blackfish’ impact: SeaWorld Entertainment and its
chain announced it would reverse company policy and allow store employees to grow beards starting Sept. 29. For years, the Lakeland-based grocery chain has banned beards and long hair for male employees, though conservative upper-lip riders similar to the pencil mustache of founder George Jenkins have been allowed. The push for Publix to #FreetheBeard started in 2015 when Jacksonville Publix employee Brandon Wesley started an online petition asking the grocery chain to review its facial hair policies.
former CEO have agreed to pay more than $5 million in fines to settle federal charges accusing the theme park company of misleading investors by downplaying the impact of the 2013 documentary Blackfish. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission announced last week that SeaWorld and its former CEO Jim Atchison reached settlements with the agency without “admitting or denying the allegations.” As Blackfish became more widely distributed, the SEC alleged that from December 2013 to August 2014, SeaWorld and Atchison made “untrue and misleading” statements or omissions to investors in SEC filings, earnings releases, calls and other statements to the media regarding the documentary’s impact on SeaWorld’s reputation and business. When SeaWorld finally admitted in 2014 that declining attendance was partially caused by negative publicity, the company’s stock price fell about 33 percent, leading to a loss of about $830 million in shareholder value, according to the SEC complaint.

Florida more likely to reject mail ballots from young voters, people of color: Florida rejected vote-by-mail ballots from young voters and
people of color at higher rates during the past two presidential elections, according to a troubling new study from the ACLU of Florida. The report also found that mail ballots were more likely to be rejected than votes cast at polls during early voting or Election Day. The rejection rate for these ballots was about 1 percent during both the 2012 and 2016 elections, which is about 10 times higher than in-person voting, according to Daniel Smith, a political science professor at the University of Florida and the study’s author. During the 2016 election, voters under 30 made up about 9.2 percent of all mailballot voters but accounted for almost 31 percent of all rejected mail ballots. In the 2012 general election, only 0.9 percent of all mail ballots cast by white voters were “rejected as illegal” by county canvassing boards – but those same canvassing boards rejected 1.5 percent of mail ballots from black voters and 1.3 percent of mail ballots from Hispanic voters.

After boos and protests, Rick Scott calls for red tide research center, task force: After a week of being targeted by protesters angry over
Florida’s toxic red tide crisis, Gov. Rick Scott is now calling for wildlife officials to create a state red tide research center and re-establish an algae bloom task force. The state has been dealing with toxic algae problems for years now for numerous reasons, including the environmental missteps of state officials. (Remember our goopy “guacamole beaches”?) In a letter to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, the Republican governor wrote that although the state has made “tremendous strides” in dealing with the red tide algae blooms currently killing marine life and causing respiratory issues on the Gulf coast, more must be done. Sounds to us like someone is trying really hard to avoid the “Red Tide Rick” nickname sticking to him during his U.S. Senate race against incumbent Democrat Bill Nelson.

BEGGING PARDON Orlando is throwing money at the “aggressive panhandling” problem. But is it a boon for the public, or just a way to keep the chronically homeless out of sight? BY XANDER P ETERS
B
egging, even if for a charitable cause, makes people uncomfortable. Whether we admit it or not, we’re all guilty of taking a less than compassionate approach. It’s why we stare through a stranger asking for some change or leftover food. It’s why we find an excuse to look at our phones when we pass a crowd of downand-outs. It’s why we pretend to rush down the street at the sight of a canvasser’s open palm, even if we really do want to save the endangered Florida salt marsh vole. We’re not alone in our discomfort. City officials, too, are unnerved by what seems like a burgeoning population of chronically homeless and transient individuals downtown. So much so, in fact, that the city has implemented something called the Downtown Ambassador program. It’s modeled after a now-defunct 2008 program of the same name, in which a roaming pack of city employees on Segways attempted to tidy up downtown. This time, the city has outsourced the hiring and training of the ambassadors to a company called Block by Block, which provides similar services in roughly 100 cities. The two-year pilot program has a third-year option and an annual budget of $725,000, paid for by the Community Redevelopment Agency, a cityrun downtown improvement district funded by a tax on district property owners. Today’s 12 ambassadors – no longer mounted on Segways – officially hit the streets on Aug. 1. But what exactly are they here to do?
Though the ambassadors receive class D security guard training, they’re not considered law enforcement – they don’t carry weapons, not even pepper spray. Nor do they carry Narcan – the emergency nasal spray for opioid overdoses – as a paramedic would, even though the state offers legal immunity to anyone attempting to assist with a drugrelated overdose. So initial assumptions that the ambassadors were there to assist the homeless aren’t quite correct – they’re more working around the homeless than for them. According to the program’s website, the ambassadors’ goals are simple: provide safety escorts if requested; give directions, recommendations and other assistance; observe and report suspicious activity and aggressive panhandling; assist businesses and residents with questions or concerns; and help with security and information at special events. However, the program’s intentions might not be so straightforward. “We’re the eyes and ears of the police,” says an Orlando ambassador, who, citing the city’s employee policy, asked that her name be withheld. Foremost, she adds, they’re there to help curb aggressive panhandling. So is the ambassador program really for the downtown population in its entirety? Or is it just a smokescreen between the transient population and the City Beautiful’s more than 72 million annual visitors? Thomas Chatmon, executive director of the Downtown Development Board, denies the ambassadors exist only to serve as a buffer.
“The launching of the program happens to coincide with a perceived increase in complaints about solicitation in the downtown area,” says Chatmon. “[The ambassadors] are taught that they are not enforcement officials. They are additional eyes and ears for enforcement officials, but they’re not enforcement officials themselves.” Chatmon adds: “This is Orlando, and we’re known throughout the world for our worldclass customer service. I think all would expect that level of customer service to be extended to our downtown corridor, and this is another means of achieving that.” But who’s the customer? That’s the tricky part. The city has to balance everyone’s demands: the homeless, the transient, work commuters, tourists, downtown dwellers, business owners. And some customers are more vocal than others, making it crystalclear to city officials how they feel. In a batch of emails acquired from the city through a public records request, Frank LaRocco, a resident at an apartment complex near Lake Eola, writes to the office of Mayor Buddy Dyer to express his concern with what “appears to be a rising problem in the cities [sic] central areas.” In the email, LaRocco notes how in recent months near Lake Eola he’s seen “a large women [sic] dropping her pants, squatting and urinating in a very forceful way … visible for all to see”; “an increasing amount of food trash”; “a person dragging a plastic bag” taken from a trashcan; “people regularly sleeping” in the park; and he says the vagrants asking for money “seem to be outnumbering the guests” there for recreation. LaRocco also points out that the problem isn’t just limited to Lake Eola Park. The 7-Eleven at the corner of Central Boulevard and Rosalind Avenue has become a gathering point for panhandlers, as has the Publix on Central, he says. “It is reaching the point where I am getting uncomfortable in my own neighborhood, where a premium is paid to live,” LaRocco writes. “Mr. Mayor, I have compassion for individuals who are homeless, hungry, struggle with mental illness and have no place to live. However, I do think we need to find better solutions than letting them congregate around Orlando’s signature location.” Judging by public records detailing not just the Downtown Ambassadors program but various other initiatives, city officials agree – and they’re throwing money at the problem.
A
lthough the case had zilch to do with solicitation, most homeless advocates claim that the rise in so-called aggressive panhandling downtown can be traced to a single 2015 U.S. Supreme Court decision. In 2005, Gilbert, Arizona, adopted an ordinance that imposed stricter limitations on signs displaying religious services than those that advertised “political” or “ideologiFALL GUIDE • orlandoweekly.com

cal” messages. As a result, after Good News Community Church placed between 15 and 20 temporary signs around town, Gilbert’s sign code compliance manager cited the church for an ordinance violation. In return, the church filed a lawsuit in which it argued that the sign regulations breached its First Amendment rights. A decade later, the Supreme Court not only ruled that the signs could stand in Gilbert, but set a new precedent across the country – and with it came a catch. The court’s decision applied to any local rules limiting certain types of speech, which strengthened the argument that it was unconstitutional for municipalities to prohibit people from begging for money in public spaces. Within two years, federal courts struck down panhandling laws across the country. Around the same time, many cities’ panhandling statutes were declared unconstitutional. A 2016 study of 187 cities, including Orlando, by the National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty found that 27 percent of the cities sampled had passed a type of broad ban on solicitation. Sixty-one percent of the sampled cities also prohibited panhandling in certain public spaces. Overall, citywide bans on panhandling increased by 43 percent since the center began tracking ordinances in the same sample group of cities in 2006. The Reed ruling changed that. In July 2017, the City of Orlando fell in line with cities across the county in overturning solicitation bans, including a 2000 ordinance that limited locations for solicitation to roughly a dozen blue-painted boxes (like parking spaces) in downtown. It also overturned a 2007 ban on panhandling at night. A few months later, in November 2017, Orlando officials passed a new ordinance that restricted panhandlers from soliciting from cars stopped at intersections and banned so-called aggressive panhandling: soliciting cash from anyone using an ATM was also deemed illegal; panhandling from “captive audiences,” meaning people who are waiting in a public line; and panhandlers asking for money a second time if they’d already been turned down. Even so, with the “blue boxes” eliminated, daily downtown commuters began complaining about increasingly prevalent panhandling. City officials worried about the effect that a growing homeless and transient population would have on downtown’s aesthetics. Enter the Downtown Ambassadors. “And is that so bad?” asks Shelley Lauten, CEO for the Central Florida Commission on Homelessness. “There is, I believe, an illogical fear of the homeless. But if you’re a mom and you’re coming for a festival and someone CONTINUED ON PAGE 13

who is disheveled and dirty and smells like they’ve been drinking a little bit comes up to you and asks for money – what do you think that mom’s reaction is?” Having an ambassador around, she argues, is “better than having the police come in and arrest somebody, or [putting] them in a blue box.”
A
ccording to city records, in the ambassador program’s first week, Aug. 1 through Aug. 8, the program’s employees reported 418 instances of “panhandling,” though no cases of aggressive panhandling were reported. A similar trend continued in the second week, during which the ambassadors reported 344 cases of panhandling. Yet again, not a single case of aggressive panhandling is noted. In the third week, however, the ambassadors appear to have begun paying closer attention to panhandlers, as the number of reported panhandling cases spiked to 840. Meanwhile, 37 instances of aggressive panhandling were noted. The trend holds steady through the fourth, fifth and sixth weeks of the program, with the city’s reports showing 738 cases of panhandling and 24 cases of aggressive panhandling reported in the fourth; 805 cases of panhandling and 42 cases of aggressive panhandling reported in the fifth; and 672 cases of panhandling and 14 cases of aggressive panhandling reported in the sixth week. What changed? Were the ambassadors told to focus more scrutiny to the homeless population? Email correspondence between city officials, as provided through a public records request, suggests so. In an Aug. 31 email, the ambassadors’ operations manager, Mike Mitchell, writes to Dominique Greco, the city’s nighttime economy project manager: “As discussed yesterday, attached is the map and direction of the ‘walking path’ we will take when conducting our Homeless counts. Effective immediately, those counts will be conducted daily (7 days each weekly [sic]) at 10am and 5pm respectively.” But Greco says no, it’s not a refocusing of efforts, just a clarification of definitions. “Our numbers have been a little bit skewed, as we thought they’d be with the nature of a startup program and new employees,” she says. “That number in particular” – the reports of aggressive panhandling – “has not been extremely defined.” Greco says the program is working on better definitions: “We are still working with staff and giving them more details on how and when to report” panhandling and aggressive panhandling, she says. “As you know, those two are sensitive. They’re not as easy as, say, ‘Oh, there’s some graffiti on the wall, I need to report that.’” In our interview, Greco didn’t mention
some of the other ways the city’s Downtown Development Board is trying to get ahead of the problem. One solution, of course, has been the implementation of the ambassador program. As well, the city and the DDB are coordinating various direct marketing efforts. In an Aug. 21 email with the subject line “Homeless Flyer,” which Orlando Weekly acquired through a public records request, Greco writes to Mitchell about printed fliers they’re distributing to local business and organizations downtown on their efforts to “reduce homeless and curb aggressive panhandling.” The flier acknowledges that “homelessness is one of the most complex issues facing [Orlando] and community across the country.” It then goes on to note that in the last two and a half years, the city has managed to place “more than 330 chronically homeless in permanent supportive housing,” though it doesn’t say how many stayed there. It also states that, “despite [the] change to the city’s ordinance, the Orlando Police Department continues to enforce aggressive solicitation laws and have made more than 400 arrests in the past six months.” In the Aug. 21 email, Greco writes to Mitchell: “Mike please print ONE copy and hang in office. We do not want ambassadors to hand these out BUT we are distributing them through other channels. They all go hand and hand [sic] :)” But it doesn’t end with fliers – the city has commissioned a media campaign with local marketing agency Prismatic, meant to educate the public on aggressive panhandling and create a way for those generous enough to donate to panhandlers to give without handing over actual cash. City spokeswoman Cassandra Lafser says the campaign is set to launch later this year; according to Lafser, thus far the city has spent just over $35,000, with more expenditures to come upon the campaign launch. Between March 5 and April 22, Prismatic conducted a study of the relationship between Orlando’s downtown audience with the homeless and panhandlers, according to city records. Respondents included different potential segments of the downtown population such as visitors, residents, professionals, business owners and community organizations serving the homeless and panhandlers, as well as the homeless and panhandling populations themselves. According to their findings, 48 percent of those surveyed assume that panhandlers are homeless, and 26 percent stated that they have changed their path to avoid encountering panhandlers, though some claimed that their reason for doing so was because they were in a hurry and simply didn’t want to engage. The study also found that 80 percent of the respondents “have never felt unsafe

due to an aggressive panhandler.” In the study’s sample of panhandlers, it found that 63 percent of those in Orlando’s streets aren’t actually from the Orlando area – and 41 percent of them found their way to the City Beautiful by way of Greyhound bus, like Shafi Ali, who told Orlando Weekly that’s how he made his way from Washington, D.C., to Orlando about three months ago. According to Prismatic’s research, 65 percent of panhandlers are doing so because they’re hungry. That’s a point that Ali can attest to. “I panhandle for food,” he says in a thick Middle Eastern accent. “That’s all.”
H
ow does the homeless population feel about all this attention to the “downtown panhandling problem”? “I’ve talked to them,” says Daniel Bryant, referring to the ambassadors. “They’re kind of a hit and a miss. They’ll tell you that they’re trying to help you, but they’re out there to hinder you more than help you.” “It’s like they’re working for OPD,” says Barbara Johnson, who’s been chronically homeless ever since an abusive relationship left her on the streets eight years ago. Bryant smiles at Johnson’s comment. Most of his top front teeth are rotted, a symptom of a six-year stint on the streets. “There’s a few of them out here who will really, truly, honestly listen to what you have to say,” he says. “But most of them out here are just out here to collect a check, walk around, not doing anything.” He’s not wrong. In hours spent combing through downtown’s streets for ambassadors, the Weekly observed a lackadaisical effort on the part of some program’s employees. On one occasion, when given the opportunity to strike up a conversation with a group of homeless men gathered under an awning on Pine Street, an ambassador simply kept his head down and walked right through the group, rather than engage, as aspects of the job are supposed to require. On several other occasions, ambassadors were seen leaning against a railing across from the Morgan & Morgan law office, as several homeless persons lingered across the street. Can we blame them for not taking the initiative? According to the city, ambassadors are paid between $12 and $12.50 an hour, with team leaders making as much as $15 an hour. They provide customer service support – directions, safety escorts, and so on – but handling people dealing with mental illness may be above their pay grade. “That’s disappointing to hear,” says Mitchell, referring to what the Weekly witnessed. “Our intent to be downtown is to engage daily with the individuals down there and hope to be able to afford them
and refer them to the appropriate services.” To be fair, after Orlando Weekly’s conversation with Mitchell, we noticed a larger ambassador presence on the streets in the weeks that followed.
O
f all the segments of the public the city is looking to serve – panhandlers, residents, commuters – downtown business owners seem the most satisfied with the city’s attempts to address the panhandling issue. “You’ve got to understand – this corridor is full of [homeless] people,” says Jay Mangi, owner of the 7-Eleven on Pine Street. “It’s one of the worst. And we’re 24-7, so we’ve seen it all. But I think we need to give [the program] a chance, encourage it and see how it works.” Damon Jerden, an owner of Orange Avenue bars Dapper Duck and Downtown Pourhouse, agrees. But he doesn’t believe the ambassador program is fully equipped to handle the problem. “I think it’s a step in a direction that we need to go, but I don’t think that’s the answer,” Jerden says. “I don’t know if this is even in [the people in City Hall’s] wheelhouse. … I’m sure they want to get the half-a-billion-dollar addition to the performing arts center finished. I’m sure they want to answer to Mr. and Mrs. Big Balls Rich Person who’s donating money.” He thinks the program is a way for the city to signal that it’s taking action, rather than doing anything substantive. “[Orlando is] one of the fastest-growing cities in the country,” Jerden says. “Why shouldn’t we be putting our best foot forward? I’m not saying to throw these guys away, locked up in a cage or on the other side of I-4 in some big room and don’t let them come out.” But he is saying the solicitation of his customers is a problem that needs a more concrete solution. As Lauten of the Central Florida Commission on Homelessness says, it’s a complicated issue – and there isn’t an “either/or” solution. “For me anyway, I think the best thing we can do is stop giving people money, so that they are challenged to find the food that they need – no one in downtown Orlando will go hungry,” Lauten says. “On any day, there are seven service providers in the immediate area that can provide food, clothing, those kind of things.” She adds: “Allow the ambassadors to play that buffer.” That’s one solution. Here’s another: The city could begin treating the situation for what it is – a human problem – by spending on real solutions, not just Band-aids like the ambassador program and marketing campaigns, rather than just treating the surface. Then again, begging makes people uncomfortable. xpeters@orlandoweekly.com FALL GUIDE • orlandoweekly.com

“CAKEFIGHT” | Photo by Elizabeth/Sidebotham
TIME STRETCH BY ELIZABETH/SIDEBOTHAM Sept. 27 Unless you make it to this opening, it may be a time stretch of a different sort to catch this exhibition – admission is free, but parking is not, and the gallery’s hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. It would be a stretch worth making, though. Artists Erin Elizabeth and Harry Sidebotham share a marriage, two children and a studio practice, and, fittingly, their collaborative work as Elizabeth/Sidebotham explores the intersection of domesticity and artistic productivity. While Sidebotham is a traditional painter, Elizabeth works in materials such as cake, candy sprinkles and gold leaf, and hence what could be heavy is a joyful memory in the making. The artists discuss their work at an artist talk 10 a.m. Friday, Sept. 28.

Art by Nina Chanel Abney
SHIFTING GAZE: A RECONSTRUCTION OF THE BLACK & HISPANIC BODY IN CONTEMPORARY ART Oct. 19-Jan. 13, 2019 Local powerhouse art collector Robert Feldman loans work by 25 artists to the Mennello Museum for this powerfully resonant exhibition. As the nation grapples with rapidly changing norms of identity – some struggling to accept what feels sudden; others fed up of waiting for acceptance – this group of work gathers a broad range of visual representations commenting on the past, fluidly shaping a future, and observing the challenges of the volatile present.

Pressed Editions: Experimental Contemporary Prints, May 23-Sept. 1, 2019; Showcases works by “Soundsuit” by Nick Cave
NICK CAVE: FEAT. through Dec. 30 Chicago-based artist Nick Cave comes off like a merry prankster, but at the center of his work there’s a radioactive kernel of hard, bright rage. Those Soundsuits assembled from stuffed toys, buttons and Easter baskets? Cave built them after the Rodney King beatings, feeling the need to disguise his race, his gender, his very shape in order to be safe. The psychedelic forest of neon-bright bamboo beads? It’s a safe space in which to enact protective rituals. Like the Mardi Gras Indians of New Orleans, FEAT. will draw you in with technical skill and seductive textures, but if you’re paying attention, it will whomp you over the head with barely contained grief and fury.

SNAP PRESENTS RAY:TRACE Oct. 6 A pre-event leading up to Snap’s city-wide celebration of augmented reality, City Unseen (opening Nov. 2), this evening presentation features a large-scale projection-mapped “mural” by Turkish digital artist Can Büyükberber to spectators seated on the lawn of the First Green Bank building. Snap says in a release about the project that the work “presents a sensational collapse of dimensionality by tracing the path of projected light on a 110 feet wide mural”; Büyükberber was part of a group show last year of work that “lets us conceive and experience space in a nonphysical, non-social, nontraditional way: as a nonspace.” We have two predictions for City Unseen: It’s going to look cool as hell, and it’s going to be reallly difficult to describe in writing.

Opera buffs know this as Benjamin Britten’s setting of an English miracle play about Noah’s Ark to his vivid, sophisticated original music. Fans of Wes Anderson, on the other hand, will recognize it as the charming children’s pageant staged in Moonrise Kingdom. Britten firmly intended this as a children’s opera, to be staged in churches or halls, not theaters, but fear not, if you’re imagining some watered-down kids’ stuff – Britten’s music and staging directions for this opera are as beautiful and avant-garde as any of his “adult” compositions. Not to be missed.

Oct. 12-14 File under “ballet,” though this is very much a collaborative production, with live music provided by the Bach Festival Society Choir and Orchestra. Orlando Ballet artistic director Robert Hill celebrates his 10th season this year, and this performance of his setting of Carl Orff’s thundering cantata about sex, excess and the fickle nature of fate marks the occasion. There is nothing subtle in Carmina Burana, neither musically nor in the text – “O Fortuna” you’re probably familiar with, but may we interest you in a falsetto aria sung from the point of view of a swan being roasted on a spit? How about a little ditty baldly titled “Come, Come, O Come”? – and we don’t expect daintiness from the dancers, either. Rather, expect to witness the strong male dancers of Orlando Ballet exhibiting speed and wit in this bawdy classic.
7:30 p.m. Friday, 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Saturday, 2 p.m. Sunday | Walt Disney Theater, Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, 445 S. Magnolia Ave. | 844-513-2014 | drphillipscenter.org | $19$490

AMERICAN BLUES: RHIANNON GIDDENS WITH THE ORLANDO PHIL Oct. 13 The charismatic Ms. Giddens, musician, vocalist and co-founder of the Carolina Chocolate Drops, is accustomed to being “the first.” For instance, in 2016, she was the first woman and the first person of color to win the Steve Martin Prize for Excellence in Banjo and Bluegrass, a $50,000 annual award. The Carolina Chocloate Drops were the first modern band to revisit the African American contribution to Piedmont-region folk and stomp of the 1920s. And here, Giddens’ performance with the Phil is the first installment of the 2018-2019 OPO Pops Series. The program for American Blues includes tunes from Gershwin’s An American in Paris and Bernstein’s West Side Story alongside songs from Giddens’ two solo albums.

Oct. 18 It’s been too long since we’ve heard from Blakeslee, the UCF grad and local author. She’s been stretching her wings, doing stints at various writers’ residencies around the country, but now she’s back to kick off the tour for her third book, Perfect Conditions. It’s a departure from her last book, but a return to her first collection – speculative stories, some set in Orlando, with an eerie vibe. Though Blakeslee’s been working on the collection for a few years now, these stories zero in on the current zeitgeist with uncanny accuracy: “kind of an Atwood/PKDick mood,” as she put it in an email, and that sounds just about exactly right to us.

The former host of The Soup returned to making fun of reality television this year with The Joel McHale Show With Joel McHale, but it was unfortunately canceled because Netflix can’t quite get weekly content right yet. But even though his most recent show went the way of Community, where he played narcissistic former lawyer Jeff Winger, it just makes this show more of a must.

Just a couple of poets laureate sitting around chatting about Florida! This installment of Burrow Press’ Functionally Literate reading series brings together two women with plenty in common. Buckmaster is poet laureate of Belfast, Maine, but grew up in Florida; her new memoir Space Heart recalls her beach-town childhood within earshot of Cape Canaveral. Lilley is poet laureate of Orlando, an Orlando native (rare!) and author of Satellite Beach, a Floridian memoir in poems.

Oct. 7 Prince fans and classical music buffs, prepare to purify yourselves in the waters of Lake Minnetonka this autumn, as a Questlove-curated symphonic tribute and memorial to the masterworks of the Purple One is happening in the beautiful environs of the Dr. Phillips Center. This touring orchestral tribute – officially sanctioned by Prince’s estate (no small feat in itself) and helmed by Prince superfan and musical encyclopedia Questlove of the Roots – is certain to be a deep and satisfying dive into Prince’s albums. Expect the hits, a visual and sonic feast, and more than likely, a broken heart.

●
Avant-grind maestros Full of Hell have managed the tricky balancing act of merging electronics and harsh metal textures without sacrificing either forward motion or heaviness, and it’s netting them fans from across the pop subculture landscape. The band – best known for their punishing 2014 collab album with Japanese noise god Merzbow, though their recent co-release with The Body is garnering proportional praise – has had a busy year so far, touring with Gatecreeper and releasing an album on Profound Lore. Bring earplugs for your earplugs.

YELLE Oct. 30 French electro-dance commanders Yelle are spending the Halloween season on tour in Florida, so get ready for the grooviest Devil’s Night soundtrack since Hot Blood released “Soul Dracula” back in 1975. This Orlando show is also the kickoff for an East Coast tour in support of fantastic and fizzy new single “OMG!!!” (with an accompanying video that YouTube censored and then didn’t), which is a pretty big deal considering the duo doesn’t often get to Central Florida all that often, if at all. Expect older hits like “Je Veux Te Voir” alongside “OMG!!!” and hopefully some previews from a promised new album. Other dates on this run are selling out quick, so you’d be advised to pick up tickets tout suite.

Nov. 11 A sequel of sorts to last year’s popular Ten10 Fest, 11Eleven promises a more amped-up version of the original concept: live music and a selection of custom “artist cocktails” and “artist ales” that correspond to performers on the day. The lineup boasts a heady mix of local and touring acts, including Diet Cig, Pathos Pathos, Bothering Dennis, Wolf-Face, Transkam, Hungover and Universal Funk Orchestra. Proceeds benefit the nonprofit Orlando City Foundation, so what are you waiting for?

Cryos International’s Fertility Preservation Programs Give Families Hope
Orlando’s Sperm and Egg Bank Sets Industry Standards for Hopeful Future Parents
“W
e really believe that everybody should have the opportunity to have a family,” says Corey Burke, the Tissue Bank Director at Cryos International. Orlando’s local freestanding sperm and egg bank knows a few things about helping families get started: they’ve set industry records for frozen egg survival rates (at roughly 92%-94%), and they have more registered pregnancies in the world than any of their competitors. Many of their customers come to them after discovering fertility issues, and they help LBGTQ couples who need donor sperm or eggs to have children. However, Cryos also assists another demographic: people who need to start their families later in life, and use their services as a means of fertility preservation. One of the most common reasons that someone might explore fertility preservation is when they receive a diagnosis that may affect their fertility down the road. Diseases like cancer, which require treatments that can be hard on the body, can threaten men and women’s childbearing abilities — but freezing sperm or eggs with vitrification
(a superior method of freezing that’s gained traction within the last 10-15 years) can save viable tissues for use after chemotherapy or other treatments are completed. “Those eggs fertilize very well,” says Burke. And freezing with Cryos’s facilities might give you a greater chance at success: “Our fertilization rates are 89%, which is very comparable with using fresh eggs, and fresh eggs are the gold standard. So it proves that our system works very well.” Women who need to wait to have families, whether they’re seeking greater financial stability, a better living situation, or any number of other reasons, can also reap the benefits of fertility preservation. Waiting longer to use your eggs can increase the risks of birth defects, so preserving eggs at a younger age has its merits. “You’re born with all of the eggs that you have, and once you hit about 37 to 38 years old, about half the eggs you have left are genetically abnormal. They may be missing a chromosome, or have an extra chromosome” Burke elaborates. Many women also have less eggs available in their mid to late thirties, making egg preser-
vation a solid investment. Social egg freezing (freezing eggs and storing them selectively) is also an option for women seeking Cryos’s services. Women aren’t the only ones who benefit from tissue freezing, though: men who encounter health difficulties and need to hit pause before beginning an arduous line of medical treatments, or gay men who want to use their sperm to conceive with a donor egg, can both benefit from freezing their sperm with the same vitrification process that’s used on women’s eggs. Other reasons that men might choose to freeze their sperm include working with hazardous chemicals that may affect their fertility, military deployment, and vasectomies. Burke says that fertility preservation can give men some peace of mind: “In a sense, fertility preservation allows them to establish a bank account or insurance policy.” Cryos’s services are a particularly safe bet for anyone who needs donor eggs as part of their fertility preservation plan, including gay male couples or women struggling with fertility. “With our donor program, we have guaran-
SPONSORED CONTENT
tees that patients who purchase at least six eggs will have at least one highquality blastocyst (the highest quality embryo that can be grown in a laboratory). It’s a great guarantee, one of the best in the industry.” Whether you’re a woman looking to save your eggs for a more stable situation down the line, a man facing fertility-affecting medical treatments, or a gay couple who needs eggs to start their family, Cryos International sets industry records for fertility preservation, and their sperm motility and egg guarantees will put your mind at ease.

Universal Studios Florida is again
overrun with gore-crazed shuffling hordes … and that’s just the guests at Halloween Horror Nights, the world’s top-rated haunted event. Opening-weekend buzz suggested that this year’s 1980s-influenced lineup is its best and busiest edition ever, so I set out to see firsthand if HHN28 really is that great and if all 10 haunted houses can be enjoyed in one evening without expensive Express passes. TL;DR: Yes, and yes, if you follow in my footsteps. First and foremost, this plan works best on a Wednesday (or Thursday), and taking advantage of Universal’s Stay & Scream early admission is essential if you have a daytime ticket or annual pass. Finnegan’s holding pen will be full of Stranger Things fans fighting for first dibs on the headlining house. Instead, enter Springfield before 5 p.m. and relax with a pint of Dufftoberfest until you’re released around 5:40 p.m. If you can’t enter early, line up outside the park gates by 5 p.m. and head toward KidZone when they open around 6. In lieu of ratings, I’m reviewing HHN28’s attractions in the order I experienced them and listing both the length of time I queued and how long I’d be willing to wait again.

JINYA RAMEN BAR 8 N. Summerlin Ave. 407-704-1825 jinya-ramenbar.com $$
LIVE NOODS
Upscale chain brings Japanese street food back to Thornton Park with fanfare BY HOLLY V. KAPHERR
R
emember the episode of Portlandia in which the characters ignore their server’s warning at the ramen restaurant not to combine the noodles and broth in the refrigerator, and the noodles come to life and wreak havoc on the city? The dénouement of the episode includes a scene where one character has to save her husband, who has been eaten by the formidable-yet-tasty noodle monster, by slurping down the entire monster in one sitting. Likely you’d have no qualms participating in a gut-busting conclusion like this if the ramen in question came from Jinya Ramen Bar, now serving up ultra-slurpable strands in Thornton Park. Jinya Ramen Bar is a Los Angeles-based chain, and the Thornton Park location (the only one in Florida) is just one of 28 locations nationwide. Because of this, the place works like a well-oiled machine. Food comes out fast and furious, and piping hot, as soup
should. Decor is minimalist and slick and the restaurant layout makes sense, with a long bar up front, as well as individual tables and a long, communal, family-style table in the center. The only downside to this table: no purse hooks on the underside – if all seats are taken, the floor is your only option for a handbag. [Ed. note: Lack of purse hooks constitutes a terrorist act, IMO.] Upon entering, you’ll be greeted with the Jinya version of “Welcome to Moe’s!” The host announces your arrival with a hearty “Irrashai!” (short for irrashaimase, or “welcome” in Japanese) and the rest of the employees respond with the same word in unison. When I asked about the ritual, one server explained that they have to sometimes temper the call-and-response: Once, the servers were so boisterous a guest dropped her drink in surprise. When I visited, we were seated at the long communal table – luckily there was a

vacant seat next to me where I could put my bag – to peruse the menu, which is long on items and short on description. A pro tip: Check out the menu online first. There are pictures. We started with the pork chashu and kimchi mini tacos ($5.95), which came two to an order. They were perfect two-bite morsels, with sticky, glazed pork and just the right amount of bright, spicy kimchi. The wonton wrapper was perfectly flash-fried without a hint of greasiness. Next, we couldn’t resist the takoyaki appetizer ($7.95), which I’ll be coming back for again and again. The six golf-ball-sized octopus fritters were steaming hot and crisp on the outside, with pleasantly pillow-like centers. I didn’t even mind that the octopus was a little chewy – it was a nice foil for the creamy filling. These came in pools of Kewpie mayo, okonomiyaki sauce (oyster sauce dressed up with ketchup and Worcestershire) and topped with quivering smoked bonito flakes. I couldn’t resist ordering one of my favorite comfort foods, Tokyo curry rice ($5.75), which my college roommate used to make on particularly cold Utah days. The curry half of the dish was saucy, stewy perfection, and brought back a flood of memories. It was a shame, though, that the short-grain rice was so undercooked as to be just short of inedible. FALL GUIDE • orlandoweekly.com

For the noodles, I chose the signature Jinya Tonkotsu Black ramen ($12.95) and my dining partner chose a chef specialty: the Goku Midnight ($17.95). We both agreed that my choice was more delicious, with a flavorful pork broth accented by a slick of unctuous fat that left a perfect gloss on my lips. Inside the bowl, thin ramen noodles swam with nori sheets, tender seared pork belly, a whole seasoned egg, kikurage seaweed and fried garlic. There was a little blob of “spicy sauce” which, I have a hunch, was gochujang, and when mixed in, provided the perfect amount of heat. The Goku Midnight ramen was just as filling, but less complex and exciting. What was fabulous about it was the gigantic slab of smoked, sliced beef brisket lying in the pool of broth. It was flanked – see what I did there? – with half a seasoned egg, a pile of fresh scallions, bean sprouts and kikurage seaweed. It was a bold effort, and the amount of meat certainly accounted for the price difference, but the broth of the tonkotsu ramen was superior. By the time we’d ceremoniously feasted on the toppings and slurped down the noodles – we forewent the $2.50 kaedama noodle refill on offer – we were rubbing our distended Buddha bellies, but we ordered dessert anyway. The mochi ice cream ($3.95 per flavor; choose from chocolate, matcha or strawberry) is bought in, but the vanilla panna cotta ($3.95) is made in-house. The flavor of the caramel-topped dessert was lovely and delicate, which was appreciated after the onslaught of flavors we’d taken on for dinner. The only downfall was that there was far too much gelatin in the custard, so there was none of the signature wobble of a well-made panna cotta. For those of you thumbing your nose at a chain, hold up. There’s plenty to like at Jinya Ramen Bar, and there’s much to be said for tried-and-true. When I first heard a ramen resto was on its way back to Summerlin Avenue after the demise of Greg Richie’s Baoery, which was located just a few doors down, I was skeptical. But if a noodle shop is going to make it in the spot where others failed, there’s no reason Jinya shouldn’t succeed. dining@orlandoweekly.com

The Noble Smokesman does a bustling lunch business, and that’s good since they only serve the one meal. We didn’t love the sandwich or the mac & cheese we tried on our first visit, but the three smoked-meat tacos on our second visit knocked our socks off; the Birdhouse (barbecue chicken with smoked tomatillo salsa, pickled onions, cilantro cream and a generous sprinkling of queso fresco) was our favorite.

SAPORITO ORGANIC BAKERY & KITCHEN
While the restaurant hews to the Slow Food ideology in the kitchen – slower is better, and everything from scratch – nothing about the front-of-house service at Saporito was too leisurely. The breads, pizzas and desserts make it clear that there are some master bakers here, and finding a true bacon-egg-and-cheese carbonara (no cream!) is ecstasy-inducing.

CRAZY RICH ASIA
Enzian Theater mini-festival embraces South Asian culture BY CAMERON MEIE R
T
he Enzian Theater’s decision to abandon its expansion affects its mini-festivals more than any other element of the arthouse cinema. But even with just one screen, the theater’s South Asian Film Festival remains an important cultural contribution. And though this year’s documentaries aren’t as well made as in past years, the variety of genres, subjects and styles – plus tasty cucumber chutney, vegetable samosas and chicken tikka – makes the festival a worthy three-day destination. The 24th annual celebration of the culture of the Indian subcontinent begins Saturday, Sept. 29, at 11 a.m. with the Southeast premiere of Dark Wind (3 ½ stars out of 5), a Hindi-language drama set in the Rajasthan region of northwest India, where old, blind Hedu bemoans the heat and drought that have turned his family’s fortunes to dust. “Earlier we had four seasons,” Hedu tells his granddaughter. “The wind brings the winter, summer and everything else. In my youth, it would bring sweet fragrances from all four directions. I don’t know what has happened to it now. It feels like the wind has some illness.” Mixing familial tragedy with small doses of comedy, director Nila Madhab Panda has
fashioned a profound, if underdeveloped, parable of suicide, sin, loyalty and loss – methodically viewed against the backdrop of climate change and featuring solid performances by Sanjay Mishra as Hedu and Ranvir Shorey as a debt collector dubbed “the god of death.” As strange a pair as you’d ever meet, the two form an unlikely partnership to protect their families but, by doing so, risk their souls. Introduced in 2016, Chhota Cinema: New Indian Shorts has quickly become a popular festival addition. “Chhota” means small in Hindi, and though this year’s five short films – scheduled for Saturday at 1:45 p.m. – are brief, they are long on emotional impact. “Bad things can happen to us, but do they define who we are?” asks the protagonist of The Peanut Seller (4 stars). Orphaned on the streets of New Delhi as a child, he struggles with his life’s purpose until a fortuitous encounter opens his eyes to both his past and his destiny. This Hindi-language drama, stylistically helmed by Etienne Sievers, will open your eyes too. The rest of the shorts aren’t as stellar, but good genre balance makes it a worthwhile ticket. The Never-Ending Marathon of Mr. Dharam Singh (3 stars) is a slickly produced, funny documentary that examines
what it takes to stay young. Shivani (3 stars) is also a doc, but its director chooses a grittier, more intimate approach to the story of a 3-year-old Indian girl trained in archery by parents who think she is destined to carry on their dead son’s legacy. Kaashi (2 stars), a drama about an Indian girl’s effort to help her family while overcoming gender stereotypes, is, regrettably, hampered by a muddled story and unimpactful performances. In the end, it’s more a PSA for health and sanitation than a mature narrative. And Tara Versus (not previewed) is an English-language dramedy about a stand-up comic who loses her sense of humor when her friend’s career success overshadows her own. The festival continues on Sunday at 11 a.m. with Lovesick (1 ½ stars), a documentary about Suniti Solomon. The first doctor to diagnose AIDS in India, Solomon is now a matchmaker who unites HIV-positive people struggling to find a life partner. HIV still carries a stigma in India, as does being unmarried. “A single man – people will think of him as a low-life,” one interviewee observes. “That’s why one has to get married.” Though the doc’s heart is in the right place, its camera often isn’t, as the movie is poorly filmed and constructed. We almost never see the faces of the couple Solomon is uniting, presumably because they didn’t want to be viewed. Instead, we’re treated to random, handheld shots of whatever strikes the cinematographer’s fancy, combined with tedious interviews and long, slow fades that rob the doc of its emotional FALL GUIDE • orlandoweekly.com

impact and lend it a reality-television tone. The next offering, at 1:30 p.m. Sunday, is not just the best of the festival – it’s Norway’s foreign-language Oscar entry, and deservedly so. What Will People Say (4 stars) is a shocking look at how far an immigrant Pakistani family will go to preserve their perceived dignity after their 16-year-old daughter is found kissing a boy, a behavior they, as Muslims, consider unacceptable, though they live in liberal Norway. Featuring unforgettable performances by Maria Mozhdah as the daughter and Adil Hussain (Life of Pi) as her strict but emotionally tortured father, writer-director Iram Haq’s Urdu- and Norwegian-language drama is based on her own experiences. Though it is over-reliant on handheld camera, it’s the must-see movie of the festival and a powerful reminder of the subjugation of women at the hands of religious extremism. The festival ends Monday at 6:30 p.m. with the Southeast premiere of its most stylistically challenging film. Matangi/ Maya/M.I.A. (2 stars) is a startlingly intimate look at the rap/hip-hop/urban music superstar now known as M.I.A. Born in Sri Lanka, she immigrated to England as a child but has never forgotten her Tamil roots. Refusing to play the part of a pop princess, she infuses her work with social commentary while shoving a literal and metaphorical middle finger in the face of the establishment. If you’re not familiar with M.I.A., this alternately gripping and messy documentary won’t allow you to fully understand her impact, as director Stephen Loveridge’s film is filled with pretentious home videos shot badly over 20 years. And if you don’t like M.I.A.’s music, this might be a tough watch, though, surprisingly, the film spends little time analyzing her crosscultural music (something M.I.A. herself complained about). Instead, it tries to be both a cinema-verité bio-doc and an examination of Sri Lankan genocide. While it has some success at both, the finished product suffers from self-indulgence and narrative clutter. feedback@orlandoweekly.com

Smallfoot SAK Comedy Lab legend Clare
Hell Fest It sounds like a cool death metal
Sera co-wrote this animated comedy, in which a group of Yeti have their first encounter with a human. Six months into production, the studio decreed that the movie should be a musical – which generally seems like the sort of thing you want to plan for from the outset. But director and co-writer Karey Kirkpatrick was also a co-author of the hit 2015 Broadway musical Something Rotten, so he’s clearly no novice when it comes to this stuff. He also directed Over the Hedge, which was the unheralded best animated film of 2006. Throw in that hometown love for Clare, and I’m actually sort of pulling for this thing. I know, go figure. (PG)

revival you might drive to Melbourne to attend, but it’s actually a quickie horror flick about a sneaky killer who uses Halloween as a cover to start offing the guests at a spooky amusement park. On second thought, forget what I said about Melbourne: This is a scenario all of your friends who are scareactors at Halloween Horror Nights are going to wish was reality about two weeks from now, as soon as they’ve taken enough drunken punches for another year. (R) Little Women The terrific 1994 Winona Ry-
der/Claire Danes version of Little Women is all I’m ever going to need. And if I were in the market for another stab at the material, it sure wouldn’t be a modern-day reimagining like this one. And it probably wouldn’t have Lea Thompson as its name star. And it definitely wouldn’t be distributed by the unstoppable Pure Flix Entertainment, the disseminator of Christian-Taliban “family” films that has now gunked up America’s screens with three releases in the past month alone. Seriously, Jesus: If you’re actually real, prove it and put a stop to this once and for all. (PG-13) Night School Tiffany Haddish reteams with
her Girls Trip director, Malcolm D. Lee, to play a night school teacher who has to put up with a class full of losers desperate to get their GED. And who’s Class Clown No. 1? Kevin Hart, of course, because that’s one federal law Trump hasn’t yet been able to repeal. (PG-13)
Assassination Nation A small town is turned
upside down by an epidemic of data theft, and it’s up to a group of teenage girls to restore the peace. You know, as they do. (R) Life Itself This Is Us creator Dan Fogelman
is taking a critical beating for this ensemble drama, which explores the connections between a bunch of couples of various generations and on two continents. “Mawkish” and “overwrought” are two adjectives that have been thrown around; gee, how did they ever decide Mandy Patinkin would fit right in? (R) Moses and the Ten Commandments: The Movie
And do we need yet another retelling of this scriptural fantasia? Hey, at least they didn’t fuck up Little Women, because that’s a good book. (PG-13; playing at Universal Cinemark at CityWalk)

DAMN THE TORPEDOES Mothers’ propulsive new art-rock finds beauty in defiance BY NICK MCGREGOR
C
ritics are having a field day with Mothers’ new album, Render Another Ugly Method. Maybe it’s because frontwoman Kristine Leschper has amassed a sprawling collection of avantgarde rock instead of sticking with quiet folk music, as she did on 2016’s When You Walk a Long Distance You Are Tired. Maybe it’s because Render Another Ugly Method addresses difficult subjects: power, consent, privilege, religion and the complexity of the female body. Whatever it is, many reviewers seem agitated – even angry – by Leschper’s creative leap. A few of my favorite turns of phrase used to describe Render Another Ugly Method include “calcified misery,” “opaque funeral shrouds” and “an unsettling discombobulation of tempos, dynamics, and monotonous droning.” Here’s the thing: To our ears, the record is a beautiful, ramshackle delight. Effortlessly referencing the Elephant 6 influences that Leschper picked up during a long stint living in Athens, Georgia, Render also sprinkles in propulsive post-punk, surreal psychedelia and visceral art-pop. As to the meaning of the album’s 11 songs, Leschper wrote a thesis state-
ment detailing the album’s motivation, and included a clear-as-day lyric sheet to accompany it. Still, Leschper was extra judicious discussing responses to the record. “I’ve been really pleased with what I consider thoughtful reviews that have taken time to digest what’s going on,” Leschper tells Orlando Weekly. “They’ve been very honest, and I have similar criticisms with the record: It’s quite cumbersome, dark, scattered and fragmented, with a very long run time. It’s hard to latch on for the whole ride.” That reflects Render Another Ugly Method’s creation: two years of stop-start, staccato bursts of writing by Leschper, with songs rewritten, reworked and eventually rearranged with her longtime collaborator Matthew Anderegg. Once they went into the studio with bandmates Drew Kirby and Chris Goggans and producer John Congleton, the album spread its fragmented tentacles even further. “There was a lot of push and pull with time signatures and sounds,” Leschper says. “For example, on ‘Mother and Wife,’ I created this textural guitar drone that very specifically refer-
ences Fred Frith by using a paintbrush to gently vibrate the strings. Fred’s work really opened up my mind to what a guitar – any instrument, really – could do and be.” Set aside for a moment that compelling instrumentation and let’s talk about Render Another Ugly Method’s lyrics. As an accomplished visual artist and poet, Leschper’s words paint devastating, exactingly crafted pictures. “Baptist Trauma” builds its narrative out of words that construct an acronym for the title; “Beauty Routine” begs the world to “Show me a beauty routine/To erase me completely.” Physicality reigns throughout: Characters “Spit straight from the mouth of/A modern blame kit” and “Touch two fingers to your stomach,” while “God’s hands around your neck” are there not to frighten but to please: “But mostly he was making you come.” “I’ve always been attracted to very visceral lyrics,” Leschper says. “The gesture of benediction [by] Christ is a kind of twofinger salute, and I was trying to apply that to this very intimate vignette.” Though she didn’t grow up with religion, Leschper says she’s still fascinated by its pursuit of purity. “I’m really interested in the idea of sacred space,” she says, “that things are untouchable – totally pure and perfect – and that those themes can be applied to the person and the body. Intimacy can be a very religious experience.” Critics of Render Another Ugly Method again stumble by assuming these narratives are autobiographical when Leschper emphasizes her examination of such subjects from an observational distance. “Last year, I experienced this ‘a-ha!’ moment where I realized I wanted to be more of an observer,” she says. “I wanted to try and put myself on the sidelines – to observe mundane moments so clearly and concisely that you can be transported to that space.” In other words, although Render Another Ugly Method presents a defiant challenge to some listeners, in 10, 20 or 30 years, we might look back on it as a generational masterpiece – an assertion Leschper studiously avoids. “As an artist, when you put something out, it’s rare that you think it’s flawless,” she says. “That’s why the band and I have been reimagining the songs for live performances. I need to get outside the music a little bit to have more perspective on it.” See for yourself this weekend. music@orlandoweekly.com FALL GUIDE • orlandoweekly.com

This week, an Orlando music
scene iconoclast subverts and tailors your granny’s favorite pastime for the Mills Avenue set and emotional rock champions Tigers Jaw return to celebrate some history with bright contemporaries.
NADEEM’S CHEAP ASSED BINGO NIGHT, WILL’S PUB, SEPT. 17
When it comes to local color, Nadeem Khan is one of the Orlando music scene’s hall of famers. For one, he has decades of street cred from membership in an incredible list of colorful and daring homegrown bands that includes the Wild Tones, Obliterati and the Delusionaires (not to mention his stints with big cats like Bloodshot Bill and King Khan). But even bigger than his upright bass is his personality. And even if that was all he had to wield, it would ensure him permanent cachet in these parts. The man is a legit character, an Orlando underground icon. In fact, just make him the master of ceremonies of anything and it would be worth seeing. For proof, attend one of the occasional Nadeem’s Cheap Assed Bingo Night stands at Will’s Pub. True to name, it doesn’t get any more cheap-assed than free play with prizes like bar tabs (which are like 24K around here). But this isn’t the kind of drip-drip snoozy affair usually reserved for seniors. With Nadeem’s presence, it’s a kind of show unto itself, and he runs it like a swinging, R-rated 1960s game show with his signature warped charisma. Between calling out numbers, he dishes
Between calling out bingo numbers, Nadeem Khan dishes comedy that goes from dirty uncle zingers to left-field wordplay that’s borderline Mitch Hedberg comedy that can go from dad jokes to dirty uncle zingers to left-field wordplay that’s borderline Mitch Hedberg. He’s also just as prone to throw potshots at other local personalities as he is about himself. And he tells funny personal band stories that are likely true. It’s part stand-up routine, part storyteller session, and all a little cockeyed. Oh, and you can win stuff. If anything, go just to see what Nadeem’s wearing.
TIGERS JAW, THE SIDEKICKS AND CAVE PEOPLE, THE ABBEY, SEPT. 19
Pennsylvania band Tigers Jaw are officially in the full stride of a new chapter in their career. Although they sprang from solidly emo and pop-punk backgrounds, they’ve undergone an overhaul in both personnel and sound in the past several years. Where they’ve landed through it all is a spot that manages the nice balance of both an extension and an evolution of their aesthetic. Though their high-spirited roots still manifestly inform the tenor and delivery of their music, Tigers Jaw are now a consummated indie-pop act.
Their latest Orlando return, however, was part of the current tour commemorating the 10th anniversary of the band’s self-titled sophomore album. Besides playing that beloved record straight through during one of their sets, the entire night pumped and jumped with more of their original pulse. And even if they roll with a little more gloss now, Tigers Jaw still inspired a sold-out room of hearts to burst in unison like the purest of emo bands. Probably the most outright effervescent band of the night, though, were the Sidekicks. The Epitaph Records group from Ohio specialize in the kind of graduated punk that has broken pop-punk optimism out of its cul-de-sac of diminishing returns by translating it with the range and depth of a wider rock vocabulary. They’ve got big, contagious heart, and they beam it in bright, buoyant melodies that coast in on bracing winds that blow without a seeming care in the world. Their music is all sunshine and breeze, with a spirit so steadfastly balmy that it almost qualifies as a state of mind in itself. Philadelphia act Cave People, on the other hand, inhabit a much more autumnal season. But even though they come from a bummer headspace, their impressively accurate and affecting melodies make for the kind of inviting rock that spins beauty from loneliness and introspection. Their gaze is inward but not at the expense of heft. Their sound, mood and expression all heave with palpable substance. And the live boost definitely gave their heart some flattering muscle and made the bleeding that much sweeter. baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com FALL GUIDE • orlandoweekly.com

Andrew W.K. MUSIC
PHOTO BY BORIS VALLEJO AND JULIE BELL
Somewhere out there, there’s a world where Andrew Wilkes-Krier is just a respected self-help guru and motivational speaker. Luckily, we live in the reality where Andrew W.K. is all that, and makes music. His early work may have been dismissed as fratty party anthems, but after his career got sidelined due to legal troubles about the ownership of his own likeness, W.K. stayed in the spotlight by becoming an advice columnist and advocate of what seems like an excessively positive mindset, but is far from brainless. New album You’re Not Alone is his most uplifting yet, confronting tough times with the knowledge that you’re going to get through it. And on the other side? That’s right: It’s a party. – Thaddeus McCollum with Intoxicated, Kaupe | 5:30 p.m. | The Beacham, 46 N. Orange Ave. | 407-246-1419 | thebeacham.com | $22.50-$25

Even though he’s considered something of an elder statesman of the avant-rock vanguard, no one can accuse David Byrne of resting on his laurels. The 66-year-old still puts out highly acclaimed solo albums, including this year’s American Utopia, runs probably the most successful world music record label in the world, Luaka Bop, and still finds the time to tour. And what a tour he’s come up with. Staging for the American Utopia tour erases any preconceived notions of what a rock performance should look like, incorporating mobile instruments, choreography and theatrical elements into what’s being called one of the best live shows since the Talking Heads put out Stop Making Sense. This really must be the place. – TM

Jake “The Snake” Roberts SPORTS
To those uninitiated in the true, weird beauty of professional wrestling, it’s easy to lump the Jake the Snake in with the cartoonish “heels” of the 1980s Hulk Hogan era. He carried a snake out to the ring to slither over his vanquished opponents, for God’s sake! But don’t be fooled by theatrics, Jake the Snake was one of the more subtle, creative and downright heinous characters in the history of prograppling. Though not possessed of the jacked physique of the times, he was a gifted, fluid athlete, and where he really shone brightly was in the ringside interviews he gave. When other wrestlers shouted and mugged for you, Jake whispered, made you lean in and REALLY pay attention. He was magnetic. But as good as he was inside the ring, Jake Roberts faced proportional demons outside it. We can’t even get into the trials and addictions he’s faced from childhood, but a lot is covered in wrestling docs like Beyond the Mat and The Resurrection of Jake the Snake. Suffice to say, he’s been through hell and come out the other side and on Saturday he’ll tell a lifetime of stories that have to be heard to be believed. – Matthew Moyer 8 p.m. | The Abbey, 100 S.

Jamilah Sabur: A Derivation of Time ART
This live performance is a part of Jamilah Sabur’s Ibine Ela Acu/Water Sun Moon, a multimedia exhibition at CFAM in which she addresses notions of place – bodies in landscapes and the ways landscapes are internalized by our bodies. The title, Ibine Ela Acu, is in the now-dead language of the Timucua, the extinct indigenous Northern Florida people, and this show uses Florida’s history of violence and colonialism, as well environmental erosion, pollution and flooding, as the lens through which to examine identity and human physicality. Former CFAM curator Amy Galpin, who organized this show before leaving, writes, “Sabur’s performances suggest shapeshifting. Her body takes on a new form as she fully engages in a performance, at times establishing a trance-like state in which personal, cultural and historical memory collide.” The exhibition is on display through Dec. 12, but this is your only chance to see the performance of an art star in the making. – Jessica Bryce Young 6 p.m. | Cornell Fine Arts Museum, 1000 Holt Ave., Winter Park | 407-646-2526 | cfam.rollins.edu | free

Father John Misty MUSIC
Indie-folk rock savant Father John Misty, also known as singer-songwriter Josh Tillman, is back with his fourth studio album, titled God’s Favorite Customer, released June 1 via Sub Pop Records – and with it comes a world tour, with a stop at the Hard Rock Live this weekend. Sure, he may be a bit overly sensitive and overly bearded for some folks – but, after checking our indie music snobbery at the door, we highly recommend tuning in and dropping out to his twisted melancholic riffs, padded by his soulsearching lyrics. In other words, we highly recommend the experience that is Misty’s set as much as we do his approach to a performance. – Xander Peters with King Tuff | 8 p.m. | Hard Rock Live, 6050 Universal Blvd. | 407-351-5483 | hardrock.com | $35-$50

B Y D A N S AVA G E I’m a 62-year-old woman. I was married for 33 years and left five years ago. We hadn’t gotten along for years, but he never stopped wanting or valuing me for sex – in spite of treating me like a household appliance and cheating on me regularly. Not long after the marriage ended, I met a guy online (my same age) who ticked nearly every box on my partner checklist – one of which was an ongoing interest in maintaining sexual relations. In the beginning, things were hot and crazy – but they cooled after a few months (going from once or twice a day to maybe once a month). Other than that, the relationship continued to grow and we enjoyed being together. I tried to carefully broach the subject, but he was not forthcoming. I’m not proud of it, but I checked his internet history. Big surprise: LOTS OF PORN. No animals or children, but pretty much everything else, with an accent on trans. Eventually, I admitted my sleuthing and asked if his viewing habits were an indicator of his interests or the reason he had turned away from me. After the anger subsided, he explained that he had been single most of his life and had more or less gotten used to taking care of business solo. Also that the women he had been with who floated his boat sexually had been bad (crazy/unstable) in the partner department, and the good partners (me) had been less than satisfying for him in bed. The bottom line is that we are compatible in most every other area and have built a comfortable life together. We have intercourse every four to six weeks, and maybe once in between he will pleasure me. I enjoy both, and also take care of myself once a week. The struggle for me is more ego-driven. I’m no raving beauty, but I am reasonably fit and attractive for my age, and (used to) enjoy feeling desired and valued sexually. Can I get to the place of letting go of that and enjoy the rare occasions of physical congress? Sex Advice Please “Good for her for getting out of a marriage where she was treated like a ‘household appliance’ and getting back in the dating game,” says Joan Price, author of the books Naked at Our Age: Talking Out Loud About Senior Sex and The Ultimate Guide to Sex After 50. “But her new relationship, while it sounds comfortable and affectionate, doesn’t sound sexually fulfilling.” This relationship doesn’t just sound unfulfilling sexually, SAP, it sounds infuriating generally. You entered into this relationship under false pretenses. You let your partner know that “an ongoing interest in maintaining sexual relations” was a priority for you, and he allowed you to believe it was a priority for him. In fairness to him, SAP, he may not have known himself to be incapable of sustaining a strong sexual connection, seeing as he’s been single for most of his

life. But even if he wasn’t aware he couldn’t meet your needs then, that doesn’t change the fact that you aren’t valued/fucked the way you want to be valued/fucked now. “I think her best option is to stay friends with this guy but start dating and having sex with others,” Price says. “She could continue to have occasional sex with this man if they both agree to a nonexclusive, friends-withbenefits arrangement. Or they could become platonic pals, if that’s better for them. But it’s imperative that she talk candidly with him.” You write that you tried to “carefully broach the subject, but he was not forthcoming,” but Price wonders whether you were forthcoming yourself. “‘Carefully broach’ usually means ‘I was vague,’” Price says. “Suppose, instead, she said, ‘I really value you, but I don’t think we’re well-matched sexually. How can we adjust our relationship so we’re not putting sexual pressure on each other and we’re both free to find other sexual outlets?’” Your partner has an outlet that works for him and pretty much meets all his needs – porn and his own hand – but you don’t have an outlet that provides you with the feeling of being desired and valued sexually. Watching porn and/or “taking care of yourself” isn’t going to meet your needs. So the question is this: Do you have to exit this loving relationship to get your needs met, or can you stay with your current partner, a man who meets your emotional and social needs, while getting your sexual needs met elsewhere? “SAP deserves a partner who matches her sexually,” says Price. And I agree. If you’re telling yourself that you’ll have to settle for someone who claims he can’t perform for you because you’re not unstable enough to turn him on – you do realize that compliment he paid you (you’re so good!) was actually a dishonest bit of blame-shifting/responsibility-dodging, right? – then you’re selling yourself short. “I know from personal experience and from the swelling of my inbox that many of us find hot, fabulous sexual partners in our 60s, 70s and beyond,” says Price. “It’s never too late. She shouldn’t settle for sex that’s less than satisfying, and neither should he. If that means she looks for new partners and he returns to his solo pleasure with the porn he prefers and the hand that knows him best, they might both be happier.” I’m a transgender woman married to a cis woman. Is cuckolding strictly a male-beinghumiliated-by-his-woman-partner thing? Or does it apply to all couples? Cuckolding Holds Erotic Allure That Satisfies A man can cuckold a woman, CHEATS, and a man can cuckold a man, and a woman can cuckold a woman, and an enby can cuckold an enby. But women who are into being subs in a cuckold relationship – women

“NEEDS & DEEDS” who get off on being cheated on and erotically humiliated by their partners – are called cuckqueans, not cuckolds. When I was younger and more stupid, I let my husband have intercourse with me or have me blow him or jack him off while I was on the phone with my sister. It was not something that I wanted to do, but I wasn’t strong enough then to resist his pressure. For the last five years, I’ve asked him to respect me and not do this. He was good about it for a while, and I thought that we were on the same page. Now he has resumed pressuring me to do this. When I am on the phone with my sister, he will come in and harass me, grope me and attempt to remove my clothes. So I get off the phone. This makes him mad. If I say no, he emotionally withdraws, stops conversation about it and tells me “no sex, no marriage.” We do have a sex life that does include some of his kinks. What is your opinion about using unwitting people on the other end of the phone for sexual satisfaction? Persistent Husband’s Obnoxious Needs Enrage Spouse The imperfect, doesn’t-always-apply adage “What you don’t know can’t hurt you” applies where your unwitting sister is concerned – so long as she doesn’t know you’re multitasking during your phone conversation, PHONES, no harm is done to your sister. But you know it’s happening and you don’t like it, and your husband knows you don’t like it but insists on doing it anyway. And when you shut him down – which is your absolute right – he gets angry, engages in emotional blackmail and threatens to leave you (“no sex, no marriage”). But you are having sex with your husband – sex that includes some of his other kinks – so what he’s really saying is, “All the sex I want, however I want it, whenever I want it, regardless of how you feel about it, or I’ll divorce you.” My advice: Divorce him yourself.
