Another rescued sloth from Sloth World sadly passed away, a commencement speaker at UCF was booed over pro-AI speech, a proposed downtown parking rate hike has advanced, and other news you may have missed last week.
BY CHLOE GREENBERG AND MCKENNA SCHUELER
» Mr. Ginger became the fourth Sloth World sloth to die after rescue Green bean-loving Mr. Ginger is the fourth sloth to die after about a dozen of the animals were rescued from failed Orlando attraction Sloth World. Mr. Ginger was humanely euthanized after it became clear his health was not improving and his condition was worsening, the Central Florida Zoo announced last Friday. Mr. Ginger, the smallest and youngest of the bunch to come into the zoo’s care in late April, was estimated to be between four and six months old. According to the zoo, he arrived in “fragile condition.”“Mr. Ginger was hand-fed every few hours and spent much of his time cared for in an incubator to help regulate body temperature, as staff worked continually to give him the best possible chance at survival,” the zoo shared in a statement. A total of 13 rescued sloths were donated to the zoo on April 24 from the unopened I-Drive attraction Sloth World. They were placed under a 30-day quarantine for close assessment and monitoring, and all 13 survived the first two nights under the zoo medical team’s care. But four of the sloths — Bandit, Habanero, Dumpling and now Mr. Ginger — have since died, despite the zoo’s efforts. The sloths reportedly died due to complications of long-term neglect and emaciation.
» UCF students booed commencement speaker over AI praise
A University of Central Florida graduation ceremony turned into a brief humiliation ritual for commencement speaker Gloria Caulfield after she called AI “the next industrial revolution.” The comment, made at the graduation ceremony for UCF’s College of Arts and Humanities and Nicholson School of Communication and Media on May 8, was met with an eruption of booing graduates. Caulfield is the vice president of strategic alliances for real estate firm Tavistock Development Company; the founder and executive director at Lake Nona Impact Forum; and the president of the Lake Nona Institute, according to her LinkedIn. She dedicated about three minutes of her 11-minute speech to praising the future of AI. One graduate in attendance, Houda Eletr (a former Orlando Weekly intern and ongoing contributor), called the speaker a “corporate mouthpiece.”“To stand in front of a graduating class of artists and communicators and discuss Jeff Bezos and Howard Schultz is to spit on our efforts to flip the script. I’m embarrassed to have had to endure the most embarrassing, unskippable, tone-deaf, ad-like commencement. Boo to AI and boo to your agenda,” Eletr told Orlando Weekly
» City commissioner Tony Ortiz threw his hat in the ring for the Orlando mayoral race
Orlando city commissioner Tony Ortiz is the fourth candidate to announce for the 2027 Orlando mayoral race. The most prominent candidate in the running, besides Ortiz, is current State Rep. Anna Eskamani, D-Orlando. Records show Ortiz (long rumored to be considering a run for mayor) filed his paperwork for the race last week. Ortiz does not currently have a campaign website set up, nor are we aware of any endorsements at this time — although we’ll keep you posted. Ortiz is a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, a former police officer and has served as a city commissioner (a nonpartisan role) in Orlando since 2008. A former Republican, Ortiz shed his affiliation with the Republican Party last year and joined the Democratic Party, citing disagreement with the GOP over issues such as immigration and the climate crisis. He’ll face a formidable opponent in Eskamani, who’s already garnered a plentiful array of endorsements from local unions and a number of Democratic elected officials. Current Mayor Buddy Dyer confirmed he doesn’t plan to run for re-election next year, setting up an open race for the seat.
» A proposed downtown parking rate hike advanced despite public concern Orlando City Council is currently considering (and advancing) a proposed increase to downtown parking rates, since they haven’t been adjusted since 2009. The city’s parking division, a self-funding enterprise that isn’t paid for by taxpayer dollars, said they need additional revenue to fund infrastructure improvements, parking garage upgrades, and technological advancements. Hourly parking rates for on-street parking would increase from $1 to $2 an hour to start, while off-street parking (in a parking garage, for example) would rise an extra dollar, too. City Council approved an ordinance to solidify the changes, effective July 1, last week. They still need to vote on it one more time in June
in order for the changes to pass. Remember: You can also get free parking for up to two hours in a metered space downtown by using the ParkMobile App and entering the code “ParkDTO.”
» Orlando’s homeless numbers remained steady but advocates warn of potential undercount
The number of homeless people identified in Central Florida earlier this year through an annual survey remained relatively stable, compared to last year, but local advocates warn that these limited counts may not provide the full picture. During this year’s point-in-time count, an annual census of the region’s homeless population conducted in January, 300 volunteers through the Homeless Services Network of Central Florida identified 2,724 homeless people in Orange, Osceola and Seminole counties, the nonprofit shared last week. This includes 1,731 people who had some form of shelter and 993 people who were sleeping on the streets, in their cars or in the woods. Martha Are, CEO of the Homeless Services Network, said that a state anti-camping law approved by Florida legislators in 2024 has pushed more homeless people outside of the downtown core and into the woods or suburban areas, due to fear of being arrested for sleeping on a sidewalk or other public property. Homeless folks have also been more wary and fearful of talking to volunteers who are conducting this annual count, making information-gathering more of a challenge. The Florida Legislature banned sleeping on public property in 2024 and banned rent control the year before that. About 40 percent of Central Florida’s homeless population is made up of children and older adults above age 55, according to annual point-in-time data.

BORN TO LOU’S
Orlando music scene launches fundraisers for ‘Uncle Lou’ amid ICE detention
BY MATTHEW MOYER WITH CHLOE GREENBERG
Orlando’s Dirty Laundry was packed to the rafters over the weekend for a rare Sunday soiree in the spirit of community support. The Mills 50 bar behind Will’s Pub hosted a fundraiser for neighbor Uncle Lou with Thrull, Face Sitter and Caution Children powering through passionate, loud sets while attendees snatched up benefit T-shirts and donated to a legal defense fund. The raging afternoon heat was no match for the Orlando music and nightlife scene’s fervor for its neighbor’s safety, and for Uncle Lou.
It was a far cry from the “music scene in turmoil” (per the Orlando Sentinel) after Lou’s arrest; it’s more an Orlando music scene united in asking, “How can we help?”
Williams, better known as Uncle Lou of the longtime Mills 50 music venue Uncle Lou’s, is still in Orange County jail under an immigration hold for an expired visa, with the very recent tacking on of a misdemeanor charge for serving two undercover agents shots of liquor when the bar is only licensed to serve beer and wine. Williams was booked into Orange County
Corrections Facility on May 9, according to the department.
Orlando Police Department and agents with the Florida Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco took Williams into custody over 10 days ago for possible alcohol ordinance violations, according to the police department. Local police operate under an intergovernmental services agreement with the federal U.S. Marshals Service that allows ICE — as well as federal agencies such as the FBI and DEA — to detain people in the local jail. However, the only criminal charge filed is the aforementioned misdemeanor. (That certainly didn’t stop the DHS from putting their thumbs on the scale, tweeting a very overstated “fact check” that characterized Lou as a “criminal illegal alien” with an “EXTENSIVE criminal history” last week. Again, that is a federal agency chattering in advance of any sort of legal proceeding.)
U.S. Rep. Maxwell Frost of Orlando met with Williams in the days after his detainment and filled in the Weekly. “I regularly visit the jail to meet with detained immigrants. Yesterday, while
Children) have already happened, with funds raised going toward Williams’ legal fees. And there are more in the planning stages.
On Saturday, May 23, at 7 p.m., Drunken Monkey hosts a show featuring Terradame, Alienobserver and Confessedlover that has become a fundraiser for Williams. Donations will be donated for legal fees.
Also on Saturday, Redlight Redlight is throwing an “Uncle Lou Has a Posse” benefit show complete with a DJ set from members of Skeletizer. Donations are encouraged.
On Sunday, May 24, Montgomery Drive puts on a “Free Uncle Lou” benefit show at 8 p.m. at Will’s Pub with Viloria and Foxlair. All proceeds will be donated. The cover charge is sliding scale from $10-$25.
On June 6 at 1 p.m., Future Bartenderz, S.M.O.P., Toxic Cats and M.A.C.E. play Will’s Pub for what is now a matinee benefit concert for Williams. Tickets are $10 in advance and $15 at the door.
Benefit albums
meeting with multiple constituents, I spoke with Uncle Lou about his case,” Frost told OW. “He wanted people to know he just wants to get back to running Uncle Lou’s and that he appreciates all the support. We are ensuring he receives due process and are in touch with his family.”
“We are committed to doing everything we can to get Uncle Lou home and to support everyone impacted by his detainment,” State Rep. Anna V. Eskamani added to OW.
As we go to press on Monday, May 18, Williams remains in Orange County jail, though his lawyers with the Arroyo Firm filed emergency motions on his behalf late last week including a habeas corpus petition at the federal court in Orlando, challenging his continued detention and pushing for his release.
Some ways you can help
A GoFundMe went up the same weekend Lou was detained, and it has raised over $49,000 as we write, with an end goal of $56,000. The organizers of this GoFundMe are in contact with Williams’ family and legal representation, as well as Eskamani and Frost, about disbursing funds.
There is a second GoFundMe, also vetted and verified and run in cooperation with his pastor, that is currently raising funds for Lou’s personal bills (rent, utilities, property maintenance) while he remains incarcerated.
Benefit shows
Shows at Austin’s Coffee in Winter Park (Pariah, Mitar, Shepherd, Robby Shambles, Carnations and Austin’s Anonymous) and Dirty Laundry (Thrull, Face Dancer and the Caution
Orlando cassette label Godless America, run by Orlando music stalwart Jordan Duttinger, is in the process of putting together a benefit compilation cassette. There is an open call for musicians and bands to submit tracks: “If your band has ever played Lou’s, please consider submitting.” Email single song submissions to unclelou4evrcomp@gmail.com.
An online-exclusive benefit album, Say Uncle Lou, hit the internet this week, put together by Tampa’s Misanthropic Syndicate and featuring an eclectic crew of 46 local and area artists. You can find it on the Misanthropic Syndicate Bandcamp, and all money raised from the $10 download price goes to Lou’s legal fund.
Benefit shirt
An objectively attractive “Born to Lou’s” benefit T-shirt featuring an illustration by local artist Elly Adkison, available in black and tan, is now ready for purchase, printed up by the folks at the Space Station in SoDo. The order link is live and the shirt is going for $30. You can also purchase it at any of the benefit shows listed above. Twentyfive dollars from each shirt purchase will go to the GoFundMe.
This ready outpouring of time, effort and creative energy on the part of Orlando musicians and artists speaks to the singular importance of Uncle Lou’s as a part of the larger music ecosystem of the city. The Mills 50 venue is a place where countless bands and performers have gotten their start or honed their craft across genre.
“In a seemingly endless sea of vacuous sterile concrete nothing, Uncle Lou and his Entertainment Hall has always provided a haven for us Central Florida creatives to fail better. I’m gutted, but resolved to join the community in fighting this any and every way we can,” Brian Costello of Future Bartenderz, a regular performer and attendee at Uncle Lou’s shows, said to OW. music@orlandoweekly.com

HER MAJESTY
Orlando drag performer Myki Meeks snatched the crown in Season 18 of RuPaul’s Drag Race. How she reached the pinnacle and what’s next
BY MATTHEW MOYER
The moment Orlando Weekly knew that the winner of Season 18 of RuPaul’s Drag Race was going to be Orlando drag queen Myki Meeks was not during a lip sync battle or modeling a stunning look. (Or even mirroring Drew Barrymore.) It was, in fact, toward the end of the “Good Morning Bitches!” chat-show challenge from Episode 14 on April 3, when Darlene Mitchell and Meeks were giving it their best Hoda ’n’ Kathie
Lee, guzzling white wine on the a.m. broadcast airwaves. Before the duo instructed guest Zane Phillips on how to “properly” walk the runway, Meeks delivered an over-the-top “Now fill that coffee cup with something fun, because this party is about to starrrrt,” accompanied by this wonderfully over-the-top shoulder roll/mom-breakdown. Odd choice for certainty, sure. But it’s the first thing we ask her about in our post-victory interview.
frontrunner. And I knew I couldn’t take my foot off the pedal to get to that finish line.”
Meeks was indeed the comeback kid of this season. Her dramatic arc on the show was a nailbiter, from a last-place finish in the Rate-a-Queen voting for the talent show (Episode 6), to surging as a contender with four challenge wins, three of which were right in a neat row. Not to mention a certain viral moment appearing on Drew Barrymore’s talk show as a note-perfect Barrymore doppelgänger.
The final episode saw the trio of Mitchell, Meeks and Coco face off, each performing an original track with their own vocals — Meeks belting out the showtune-esque “Versatile” — with Meeks and Coco advancing as the final two. They duly battled it out to the tune of Miley Cyrus’ “Every Girl You’ve Ever Loved.” And though Coco was a formidable opponent, it was Meeks who took the crown.
“RuPaul said it best on the finale, ‘This queen came in a chorus girl and she’s leaving a star.’ And I feel like that’s my big story arc of the season. I felt very ‘big fish in a small pond’ coming into an ocean full of other big fish,” says Meeks. “It wasn’t until they put me in the bottom for the talent shows, when that kind of shook me up. I faced my biggest fear, which was going home without making a mark. I knew from that point I couldn’t be in that position again, so I turned up the dial.”
While the winning lip-sync may have been Miley Cyrus, just as notably, in New York City immediately after the episode aired, Meeks gave an emotional victory performance of Sophie’s “Immaterial.”
“I’m raised in theater. I take on the role,” laughs Meeks. “I have to give it up for Kristin Wiig, who is my ultimate comedic muse. Her character work is the best of the best. She transforms into each character. I hope to have just an ounce of that ability.”
That, however, was not the actual moment where Myki Meeks became America’s Next Drag Superstar. That would come two weeks later, on April 17, with Meeks facing off against Nini Coco and Mitchell. Formidable competition, to be sure, but for Meeks, everything was falling into place.
“I knew I could make it all the way to the finale once I got my first challenge win. I said,‘I’m finally in.’ That was Episode 7, I believe, and I won the political ad challenge after being put in the bottom. So I now have stakes,” explains Meeks, “and it wasn’t until I got the third win — three out of four, thank you so much — the third challenge win right near the end, when I said, ‘I’m now head-to-head with the frontrunner,’ who we all thought was Jane Don’t. Then when Jane Don’t got sent home the same episode, it really hit me, like now I’m the
This was a fascinating — and personal — choice. The much-missed trans singer was a pop icon, yes, but on her own terms, effortlessly traversing between the experimental underground and pop mainstream in a way no other recent performer has. “Sophie is kind of the mother of this type of pop we’re listening to today. She was already ahead of the sound, and she’s always been ahead of the sound of what pop music could be,” Meeks says. “As for ‘Immaterial,’ the meaning of the song is beautiful.‘I could be anything I want,’ which is how I live my life. I set my eyes to what I want, and I will do what I can to reach that goal. … I performed that song for my very first local drag competition [Orlando Drag Race Live]. It was the first time I won something. And then to do it six years later on the biggest platform I could be on? I saw it for myself. I wanted to win Drag Race and I did it.”
As the last notes of “Immaterial” floated into the night, the real grind began. Interviews with Entertainment Weekly, Good Morning America (life imitating art) and The Hollywood Reporter, a busy schedule of headlining gigs all over the country and even some homecoming shows. The itinerary is intense, and now it’s international.
“I’m going overseas for the first time. I’m heading to the U.K. and Paris, performing a few gigs there, and then I head straight into the Kitty Kat Ball,” says Meeks of her daunting road schedule. “It features the top four queens from Season 18, myself, Darlene Mitchell, Nini Coco, Juicy Love Dion, hosted by Angeria Paris VanMicheals. And we’re heading all across the country every day, a new city. So it’s very much Lady Gaga — club, bus,

another club, all that.” (Yes, there is an Orlando stop for the Kitty Kat Ball: Monday, June 8, at the Plaza Live.)
Even before this frequent-flyer mileage bonanza, it’s been a long road for the self-confessed “recovering theater girl” who found her way to drag and a home with the weekly Off the Record drag nights and then the Renaissance Theatre Co.
“I have always had this performer instinct in me, but theater wasn’t really checking off all the boxes at that time. But what was checking off the boxes was that I met a very queer group of friends who introduced me to this world, and we would go out to Southern Nights or Parliament House. We would just dress in silly themes, not drag, but just like silly costumes or silly themes, whatever. And that was a certain feeling I had not felt before,” Meeks remembers. “And then I left for a very intense internship for theater, and I was getting very burnt out, and I decided as an outlet for that if I want to do drag, I’ve got to start now. In 2019 once a month, I would post a look, although I looked crazy. And those photos are archived so no one can find them. I would put myself out there in that way.”
From those memory-holed beginnings, Meeks honed her drag persona, synthesizing different parts of her own creative background with cherry-picked references from the long history of American pop culture.
“My aesthetic reference points are old Hollywood glamour and party girl. I see myself as a cross between Ava Gardner and Charli XCX,” says Meeks, who also mixes drag pageantry elegance with the “modern party girl” clubland look.
“I don’t really want to restrict myself to a certain way of dressing when we are choosing what we want to be. I’ve always said that the character of Myki Meeks is the actress underneath it all, and she’s taking on whatever role is thrown her way.”
It’s impossible to talk about Myki Meeks in any substantive fashion and not talk about the Renaissance Theatre Co. and Off the Record. The venue and the Best of Orlando®-winning weekly drag show gave Meeks both a tight-knit community of peers and a place to hone her craft.
“Off the Record started at Stonewall, which is no longer with us, and the Renaissance people, the crew there, would come to see that show on Wednesdays,” remembers Meeks. “They were doing their very first year of Nosferatu, which is the
there. They all have their own amazing qualities, but there’s really nothing like Off the Record,” says Meeks. “And to be with my cast again, Allegra D and Coco the Siren, those are my closest sisters, and we got to celebrate together. Also it keeps me humble, because as soon as I get back in the dressing room, they’re reading me to filth.”
“I’ll be honest, I’m not at all surprised that Myki did so well on that show. Sometimes, good things happen to good people and Myki is a genuinely kind, hardworking and talented artist who deserves this moment,” says Donald Rupe, creative director at the Ren, to OW. “We’re so proud to be Team Myki, and we’re so excited to continue to invest in the art of drag in Orlando.”
“Myki truly does mean a lot to the drag scene in Orlando. She has helped build one of the queerest parties in the city, where they allow you to present some insane high-caliber drag,” Anesthesia, an Orlando alt-drag performer who has guested at OTR numerous times (including at the recent “Night of 1,000 Mykis”), tells OW.“I remember the first time I saw her perform at an old OTR, I turned to my friends and said, “Whatever show she goes on she’s gonna win it,” which obviously we all saw come to fruition. I think her post-Drag Race run will be incredible for her career and for the city.”
Meeks is already looking past the extensive touring and considering her next moves, grateful for the opportunities this win gives her to try new things.
“I feel like I have more access to what I’ve been working towards. It’s a little bit easier to be booked in venues that I’ve always been wanting to perform at but I also feel like with this title, I now have even more of a license to produce my own stuff,” says Meeks. “I think people are wanting to see more of what I do, and I hope to bring that this year.”
big Halloween vampire experience, and Donald Rupe asked me to perform at the afterparty for Nosferatu. It was the first time they had a drag queen perform there. And I got to host with Blake Aburn. I did the Lady Gaga ‘Paparazzi’ VMA performance, and I poured a whole chalice of fake blood on my nice outfit. I still have that outfit, but instead of white, it’s very pink. I feel like they overpaid me because I don’t think they knew how to do the club rate for drag queens, and it’s got to stay that way now. But it was amazing. And then a few months later, Off the Record moved to the Ren, and that’s how it became what it is.”
OTR has become a place to see the drag stars of tomorrow and, per Meeks, “a solace” for young people figuring themselves out. All vital. Returning to Orlando, post-Drag Race win, she immediately returned to the Ren for OTR performances. These homecoming shows only reinforced the vital importance of the OTR community for Meeks.
“It meant the world to be able to come back to the venue that raised me. I’ve been a part of the Renaissance Theatre Co. now for five years, and they took our little show Off the Record and made it into a production. I’ve been fortunate now to be able to go to a lot of cities and see the scenes
There’s a beautiful and satisfying irony in Meeks, a queen from Florida, winning Drag Race in the Year of our Lord 2026. Lest we forget, Florida is a state that — under Gov. Ron DeSantis — has repeatedly demonized and even attempted to ban so-called “indecent” drag shows. And now a Florida performer has won the biggest showcase of drag in the world. Meeks is unafraid to get political, throwing well-deserved shade at the intolerant wing of our elected representation.
“I think if the right wants to be extra loud with their megaphone, well, bitch, give me the speaker. I’m gonna blow you all out, because it’s just idiocracy. Ron is a bully. He’s ugly and he fears people living their lives truthfully. I wish that he could just have a touch of the empathy and intelligence that we all have. But he’s a robot, and he’s purchased by that side. And it’s just sad. I feel bad for him, because he lives such a miserable, miserable life. He’ll never have an ounce of the happiness that queer people have, and he’s jealous of that, really,” says Meeks. “I am fortunate that I live in Orlando, which is a blue dot in a sea of red, but I hope to inspire others to speak up and show that, just because people are like, ‘Oh, I could never live in Florida’ — well, we do, and I don’t plan on moving for a while. So we’ve got to speak up, create the community that we want and show the younger generation to not be afraid.”

FRINGE BENEFITS
Some of the best shows we’ve seen at Orlando Fringe Festival so far
BY ARSHEEYA GARG AND SETH KUBERSKY
As we go to press Monday, May 18, Orlando Weekly has already published 55 Fringe reviews — and critics Arsheeya Garg, Sabrina Hansen and Seth Kubersky aren’t done yet. Here are picks of some of the best so far. Stay tuned for the annual Patrons’ Picks and Critics’ Choice awards, which will be announced Monday, May 25.
Basic Training
Kahlil Ashanti’s astonishing, award-winning autobiographical tour de force
Just to be clear, Fringe legend TJ Dawe is not personally appearing at this year’s Festival, but he is presenting this off-Broadway award-winner in his stead, which should be reason enough
to pay attention to solo writer-performer Kahlil Ashanti’s astonishing autobiographical tour de force. In Basic Training, Ashanti recounts his journey from an abusive childhood home to the U.S. Air Force, where he joined the elite Tops In Blue performance troupe and came under fire while entertaining troops during the first Iraq war.
Much like Stanley Kubrick’s movie Full Metal Jacket, some of Basic Training’s most memorable moments involve an aggro drill instructor, but this one would make R. Lee Ermey break down and cry. Be warned that this script is stuffed with shocking racial and sexual slurs, as well as disturbing violence. But the show is also suffused with inspirational intimacy — as when Ashanti bonds with a fellow recruit who is bullied for having Tourette’s, or sings for a terminally ill child — as well as frequently
secrets, and then restored with the help of chosen family; but Ashanti’s raw, vulnerable take on this universal story comes from a veteran’s perspective, which we don’t frequently see at the Festival. Although he’s performed it internationally, this is Ashanti’s first time touring this show in the USA. Thank him for his service by supporting this singular show ASAP, so it won’t be his last tour. — SK (Green Venue, Orlando Family Stage, 60 minutes, 13 and up, $15, warning: adult language)
Then, Eve
An unconventional seriocomic monologue from the perspective of a vilified Biblical figure
Five years after winning the Orlando Fringe Critics Choice award for scripting Judas, performer-playwright Billie Jane is back with another unconventional seriocomic monologue from the perspective of a vilified Biblical figure. Turning this time to the Old Testament, Jane jumps into the flowing white dress of the titular First Woman, recounting her early days in the Garden of Eden laboriously naming 800,000 different species of beetles. In this version, there’s no snake tempting her toward the forbidden Tree of Knowledge, but rather an empathetic caterpillar that inspires her quest for personal metamorphosis.
Jane’s fourth wall-shattering script is sharp and sensitive, with a deeply personal “twist” that’s never been more timely. She performs the laughout-loud-funny early scenes with the fluid timing of a seasoned sketch comedian, but isn’t afraid to deliver a gasp-inducing gut punch, often within the same breath; I never imagined I’d be emotionally immolated by the idea of being deadnamed by a three-toed sloth.
Following her play’s award-winning debut at 2025’s FestN4, Jane has made blessedly few changes beyond trimming its frantic first few moments, a small but significant improvement that only solidifies Then, Eve‘s place among the most entertaining and affecting original scripts Orlando Fringe has seen … since Judas. —SK

Onwards!
An indescribable combination of pitch-dark stories and sunshiney songs
fall-down funny. Finally, the Oedipal explosion that comes at the end is among the cathartic climaxes I’ve ever seen on a Fringe stage.
However, what truly elevates Basic Training above the sea of solo Fringe shows is not simply the stories Ashanti tells, but the mesmerizing ways in which he fully embodies all his characters — from his loving yet secretive mother to his conspiracy-spouting Black Nationalist uncle — with razor-sharp distinctions in body language and vocal quality. Don’t let his gray hair and dad bod fool you; Ashanti commands the stage with the fluid physicality, hyper-expressive peepers, and impressive old-school hip-hop skills of the hungry young stand-up he was at the end of the last century.
Basic Training is far from the first Fringe show about how a biological family can be destroyed by
Self-described “opera busker anarchist” Bremner Fletcher Duthie always wanted to sing and act, but he’d almost abandoned his art after endless dispiriting auditions, until his wife encouraged him to perform a one-man show at “one of those weird festivals.” Twenty-five years later, Duthie gratefully credits Fringe with saving his life, and he’s repaying the debt by delighting Orlando audiences with his indescribable combination of pitch-dark stories and sunshiney songs.
Dressed in a gray pinstripe suit with a vibrant yellow shirt and scuffed Converse, surrounded by foot-trigger floor lamps, Duthie introduces Onwards! with a string of original songs that sound at first like they could have slipped out of the 20th century’s Great American Songbook. But upon a closer listen, they overflow lyrically

ERIKA MACDONALD: TEA TIME (COURTESY PHOTO)
with mischievously mixed metaphors, merging carnival claptrap and the Egyptian Book of the Dead with Warner Bros’ disturbingly prescient 1977 shareholder statement … and that’s just in the first 20 minutes.
Like an old-timey crooner with an operatic baritone, Duthie is equally at home standing behind a vintage microphone stand or showing off his dynamic clown-like physicality in front of it. He’s stressed out about social media, the rise of A.I. and the decline of American democracy; he expresses his anxieties in the form of a toe-tapping blues tune,or a Suno-generated anthem to the absence of choice. Whether he’s performing a Gilbert and Sullivan patter paean to his patron’s perverse peccadilloes or whistling a gentle ballad written for his late mother, Duthie encourages his audience to make the choices that make you happy and move defiantly onward, no matter what our sociopathic tech-bro overlords might do.
In these crazy times that we live in, it’s easy to feel like you’re always at the wrong time and in the wrong place. But Duthie’s deliriously delicious delight of a show reminds us that if we’re all in this mess together, we might as well sing along while our shipwreck of a world slowly sinks beneath the waves. — SK

Erika MacDonald: Tea Time
Quirky and genuinely thoughtful, with enough humor to keep the emotional weight from feeling too heavy
Erika MacDonald: Tea Time is a funny, strange and unexpectedly moving solo show that turns tea into a full emotional love language. Erika MacDonald builds her performance through audience interaction, repeated phrases, music and a lot of ritual around making/serving tea. The piece feels both playful and deeply personal.
What makes Tea Time stand out is how much meaning MacDonald puts behind all the repetition. I’ll admit that I did not understand her quirky phrases in the first half of the show, but they created a rhythm that I slowly started to comprehend. It all comes back to one main idea: tea. In this show, tea is more than a drink; it’s a coping mechanism, a passion, a way to communicate. Toward the end, all the personal tales of tea finally came to a full-circle moment, clearly stating a vulnerable and deeply emotional point.
MacDonald’s anecdotes about mental health, her relationship with tea and all the silly metaphors connect together in a careful manner. This is a well-written show with just enough hilarity about the absurdity of life, all communicated through a mutual love of tea. Tea Time is quirky, well-shaped, and genuinely thoughtful, with enough humor
the original story intact. Vire hilariously captures Kristen Stewart’s angsty lip-biting to a monotone T, and musical numbers feature extravagantly ironic dance numbers, costumes and singing that’s so dramatically over-the-top, it’s somehow perfect. The show is a must-watch until the very end, and my personal favorite number is the finale.
The ensemble’s energy is infectious, and the show’s commitment to its own absurdity makes it feel like a love letter to teen supernatural romance rather than a mean-spirited roast. It manages to be both paradoxical and hilarious. For anyone who ever debated Team “Edgar” vs. Team “Jake,” or simply enjoys the delicious cringe of deep-forest confessions, Fogville delivers exactly the right amount of sparkle and chaos. — AG

The Suitcase: La Maleta
Reminds us it’s not a piece of paper that defines a human being, but their effort and resilience
Right now there are millions of emigrants to America — documented and otherwise — who simultaneously feel angry, sad and terrorized, and are wondering whether their journey to the USA is worth being trapped inside the nonstop survival cycle of working and spending. Countless souls are striving for something unattainable, suffering in silence lest they speak out and get deported. Peruvian writer-performer Gio Quezada gives these people a voice in The Suitcase, an impassioned monologue which shines a searing spotlight on the immigrant experience.

Fogville: A Sparkly Vampire Parody Musical
Delivers exactly the right amount of sparkle, chaos and angsty lip-biting
Fogville: A Sparkly Vampire Parody Musical is a gleeful, high-octane parody that takes the Twilight saga and amplifies every brooding stare, sparkly vampire cheekbone and dramatic love triangle into campy, musical perfection. Stella MoonSwan (Kristen Lee Vire) stars as the clumsy new girl as she stumbles into Fogville, finding herself immediately trapped in a fierce love triangle between Edgar Sullen (Ansley Arthur) and Jake WolfWhite (Fredy Ruiz). The rest of the Sullen family — Alex (Alex McCray), Rosie (Anastasia Goebel), Garrett (Maddie Gilbert) and Casper (River Banks), plus Veronica (Bianca Matheson) — round out the aggressively mysterious coven as it follows the general plot line of Stephenie Meyer’s first novel.
The show’s writers and directors, Bianca Matheson and Jules Bevilacqua, combine this fanatic melodrama with exaggerated and sharp dialogue that follows the meme-ified, cringe-worthy plot of vampirical comedy, while still keeping
It’s impossible for me as a white-presenting U.S. citizen to fully comprehend the sacrifice that a green card represents, and I doubt I’d have the cojones to uproot myself and cross continents like she did. But Quezada drives those lessons home with urgent passion, reminding us that it’s not a piece of paper that defines a human being, but their effort and resilience.
Quezada is a graceful mover, and the character, “Lucia,” she portrays is described as a professional ballet dancer, so I wish director Jorge Bazalar didn’t keep her rooted to her chair quite so much. But even seated, Quezada radiates a superpowered sort of energy, and her heart-wrenching words land with the impact of a grand jeté.
No matter your politics, it’s impossible not to be moved by the raw emotions as Quezada shares not only her own odyssey, but the untold stories of Cuban refugees, Mexican migrants and other fellow members of diaspora communities. And even though their rich cultures are too often reduced to Taco Tuesday, immigrants like Quezada are still dreaming the biggest dreams and working hard for them. It’s hard to describe hearing story after story of inhumane detainments, family separations and similar atrocities as “entertaining,” but if shared burdens truly become lighter, then The Suitcase carries a weight that’s well worth bearing.

REIGNING SU-PRIMO
Primo presents gorgeous plates of MedItalian fare while prizing local, and hyperlocal, ingredients
BY FAIYAZ KARA
Primo holds a special place in my life — it’ll always be the restaurant in which my wife thought I was going to propose to her, but I didn’t. Perhaps “singular place” is a more appropriate term, because Primo really is just that. Singular for its longevity (the Grande Lakes outpost of the Rockland, Maine, original has been at it for nearly a quarter-century); singular for its chef (Melissa Kelly is a two-time James Beard Award winner); and singular for its produce (the restaurant has access to on-site organic gardens and the 7,000-square-foot Whisper Creek Farm).
The space, now bright and airy thanks to a much-needed redesign in 2021, is all Mediterranean modernism meets Puglian masseria. And amid all the white-washedness is a Filipino immigrant who’s been quietly leaving his culinary fingerprints all over town, first at Danilo’s Pasta Bar at East End Market, then Chez Les Copains at City Food Hall and, more recently, at the short-lived Asin at Arden — D.J. Tangalin. The chef de cuisine has been charged with stewarding Kelly’s vision while she’s at her
home base in Maine, and executing her farmto-table Med-Italian bill of fare at the signature resto inside the J.W. Marriott Grande Lakes. He appears to be doing a primo job, too. His amusebouche of a squid-ink waffle cone filled with lobster mousse, apricot confit and a topping of trout roe wasn’t just larger in stature than most other amuses I’ve had, but larger in flavor. I could’ve eaten an adult-size cone of this stuff, even with all the primi we ordered.
As you might expect, my wife didn’t join me, but the pal and I scarfed down the “trio of breads” ($4) — rosemary-onion focaccia, sourdough levain and sesame baguette — served with a 12-year balsamic and olive oil dip. Our only knock was that the bread was served cold. Like just-taken-out-of-the-fridge cold. We saved a few shreds to sop up the tomato sauce and ricotta served with some smashing meatballs ($19) splodged with smoked scamorza cheese. Crispy garlic was a nice addition in the sauce, but it lost any crispness when garnished atop kale agnolotti ($16) after a tableside pour of prosciutto broth. The liquid was saltless; it also

managed to sink the trout roe in this “soup” to the bottom. Add the bitter profile, and this is probably a starter that could be reworked. Plenty of crisp in the seasonal spring salad ($19), however: Local and hyperlocal ingredients like arugula, artichoke, avocado, grapefruit and grilled corn bathed in a golden balsamic made it a must-reorder.
But let’s talk pasta. Tangalin lured them in at Danilo’s Pasta Bar with his expert ability to extrude noodles into gorgeous plates of comfort, and he does so here as well. The lobster cacio e pepe ($45), for example, is an absolute stunner of a dish. The tail of the Caribbean (not Maine) crawler is grilled over binchotan coals and brushed with garlic-herb butter before being sliced and artfully positioned over peppered and pecorino-ed bucatini. Was it a bit salty? Yes. Would I order it again? Hell yes. We considered another pasta, but word came that Tangalin was high on the eye of rib ($67). After devouring the two meaty chunks set over a bold and velvety peppercorn sauce, we were too.
Now, Primo’s servers and staff are all very friendly and smiling and courteous, but they also tend to simply regurgitate the words on the menu instead of really being informed about the dishes they’re serving, as one would expect at such a restaurant — that it’s a squid ink waffle with trout roe, not salmon roe; that the meatballs are fashioned from beef, pork and veal; and that the eye of rib comes with a peppercorn sauce, not chimichurri. Small specifics, but important ones.
When fluffy, cruller-like zeppoles ($15) were served, our server pointed to the pair of sauces, stating one was chocolate and the other caramel. But we came to find out one was salted chocolate and the other citrus caramel and wow, did they impress. In fact, the sauces stood on their own, they were so good. The pal thought the doughnuts themselves were a bit bland, but even a Krispy Kreme doughnut needs the glaze to shine. We both agreed, however, that the almond tuile cannoli ($15), engorged with whipped ricotta cream, pistachios and an Amarena cherry reduction, was one of the best cannoli we’ve enjoyed in recent or past memory. It was certainly worth killing for — or at least returning to Primo for. Same goes for those meatballs. And that lobster bucatini.
No doubt, the past three years have been full of ups and downs for the gifted Tangalin — “such a crazy ride it’s been,” he says — yet he’s proven to be resilient and adaptable through it all. For the 41-year-old, it just comes with the territory, but he can take heart in knowing that he’s still in the Primo of his life. fkara@orlandoweekly.com

Streaming premieres you won’t want to miss this week.
BY STEVE SCHNEIDER
Premieres Wednesday:
Carizzma — An Argentinian influencer makes an ungainly stumble into her 30s, and things get only more complicated thanks to the arrival in her life of a messy gentleman with dissociative identity disorder. The twists here are that the title heroine is played by a man, one Julian Kartun, and each episode lasts only 10 minutes, in order to embody the virally oriented world the title character inhabits. If they were really serious about making this thing utterly of the moment, it would end with her smashing herself in the face with a hammer. (Netflix)
Kylie — Princess of pop Kylie Minogue looks back on her legendary career in a three-part docuseries that includes testimonials from some of the most important people in her life, like Jason Donovan and sister Dannii. There will also be a stirring recap of the significant challenges Kylie has surmounted, like breast
cancer and sister Dannii. (Netflix)
Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed — Tatiana Maslany plays a divorced single mom who puts on her a deerstalker cap to investigate a possible homicide. When the show gets review-bombed to high heaven, remember it’s not because incels still have their Underoos in a twist over She-Hulk; it’s because the murder-mystery genre just hasn’t yet found an audience. (Apple TV)
Premieres Thursday:
The Boroughs — Anybody who thought the Duffer Brothers would be caught spinning their wheels after Stranger Things is going to have to eat their words when they get a load of the streaming visionaries’ latest project, which puts Alfred Molina, Geena Davis and Alfre Woodard on the hunt for a supernatural force that’s bedeviling a retirement community. Five’ll get you 10 the thing is from a place
called the Upside Sundown. (Netflix)
Skymed — The arrival of a bunch of new recruits puts the entire team of helicopter medics in physical danger in Season 4. The problem isn’t that the newbies are undertrained and overeager; it’s that they reported for duty fresh off a Dutch cruise. (Paramount+)
Premieres Friday:
The Chi — The eighth and final season of this Windy City drama begins where last season left off: with Rashaad and Victor leaving the scene of Alicia’s bloody murder. And if you thought things couldn’t get worse from there, just wait until you see what happens when they try to find an honest-to-goodness pizza. (Paramount+)
Club Hooligans — Sibling rivalry gets well and truly heated in Season 2, with El Polaco and Cesár vying for control of the titular soccer supporters. Of course, when you’re talking about football hooligans, “control” is strictly a relative term. The best you can hope for is teaching them to floss after they eat one of the fans of a rival team. (Prime Video)
Ladies First — Sexist pig Sacha Baron Cohen wakes up one day to find himself transported into a world where women have the power and men have to bow and scrape for whatever they can get. But really, do we want to watch an entire movie of a guy getting grilled on The View? (Netflix)
Mating Season — The sexual habits of the animal kingdom are the subject of the latest adult cartoon from the folks who brought us Big Mouth. The lead characters include a raccoon, a bear, a doe and a fox. Just not 50 sloths who are into necrophilia. But wouldn’t that be something! (Netflix)
Premieres Sunday:
Bad Thoughts — Tom Segura brings us a second season of the gross-out fantasy anthology that’s been described as I Think You Should Leave for edgelords. But if you ask me, edgelords have enough already. What we need is Temptation Island for Quakers. (Netflix)
Premieres Tuesday:
Jae-seok’s B&B Rules! — The Korean comedian and host of innumerable variety shows hops aboard the B&B bandwagon, opening a restful retreat where he can dispense his own brand of charming hospitality. Meanwhile, on Drag Race, Morgan McMichaels gets to night-manage a Motel 6. (Netflix)
Untold U.K.: Vinnie Jones — Round out your week with a biographical profile of the legendary footballer turned cinematic bully boy. Of course, the last time Jones was the subject of an in-depth video profile, it was 34 years ago, and it got him brought up on charges by the Football Association for besmirching the game by glorifying on-field violence. Hey, maybe I like this sport after all. Now all we need is for next week to kick off with Two Girls, One World Cup. (Netflix)

Enigmatic ‘new wave crooner’ Blone Noble will cast a spell on Orlando
BY HOUDA ELETR
Dance with “new-wave crooner” Blone Noble and his synthesized torch songs at the resurgent Panic! night Friday.
“It [Blone Noble] was a way to have a more full way of living,” sole Noble-man Patrick Salaway tells Orlando Weekly. “It’s being revealed to me through the act of doing it.”
For chameleonic Los Angeles-based artist Salaway, Blone Noble was his first mask-as-creative persona that felt authentic, so he dove in headfirst. This persona allowed him to create his own reality, through a louche “deviant-pop”vessel.
“From the earliest age, I kind of lived in this alternate reality of my own making,” Salaway says. “And the necessities of reality always kept pulling me back, but I think I’ve successfully committed entirely to my own world.”
Growing up in Chino, California, in the heart of the Inland Empire, Salaway was shaped by a scene of punk rebellions, one that offered a glimpse into the life he wanted to create for himself. Through Blone Noble, he found a way to channel that vision into a collage-like project made up of 1980s aesthetics paired with his own poetry and writings.
Salaway says the Inland Empire’s punk scene played a formative role in shaping both his
identity and sound, offering him an outlet that contrasted with the silent, oppressive life he lived in high school.
“As early as I can remember, I knew I wanted to be a performer,” Salaway says. “All the older people in my life, I just couldn’t wrap my head around why they wouldn’t want to do something fun and exciting, instead of coming home from their jobs and complaining all the time.”
Salaway says he had no idea that music would become his path, recalling that he was initially drawn to extravagant storytelling set in worlds beyond his own, like Popeye, Jurassic Park and James Bond.
“I wanted to do that, I was always making costumes and thinking of my life. I just knew I would do something, I thought, in movies,” he says.
It wasn’t until Salaway was given an old beat-up Squire guitar for his 12th birthday by a friend’s dad that he started his music endeavors, learning power chords and starting a punk band with like-minded peers.
“From then on, I just always had bands,” Salaway says. “It was punk that kind of woke me up to this alternate reality that I could be living in.”
Much of Salaway’s sound stems from a need to escape the workaday world and live life on
his own terms, existing entirely within the world he creates with his art. “I am definitely committed to living in a world that I’m creating,” he emphasizes.
One of Salaway’s daily rituals that spur him on creatively — or even just help him make it through the day — is writing prose, after getting into the habit of journaling 15 years ago.
“It turned into a daily thing I needed to do. It’s a function really, I realized that if I didn’t do this thing, I just felt off-kilter,” Salaway says.
Through this writing practice, he chooses lyrics and scrapbooks his art into the musical mask of the synth-driven Blone Noble. His favorite part of making music is to write meaningful lyrics, but through a careful harvesting of his previous drafts and ideas and themes.
“I’m not that kind of songwriter, you know, I like to tell stories,” Salaway says.
After years of not quite fitting the Cinderellashoe of sound in previous projects, Salaway says that he needed a persona that he could perform through, like David Bowie or Peter Gabriel used. It felt more authentic to him to channel his songs through the voice of a character.
“It feeds me more, I get more out of it, rather than approaching it just myself,” Salaway says.
Salaway’s previous project of 10 years, the cosmic rock & roll band Veneer, felt somewhat like an apprenticeship to him, and was the first musical project that he embarked on in his adult life. Still, it wasn’t a mask that fit.
“I couldn’t figure out a way to represent it visually in a way that felt satisfying,” Salaway says. “I needed the mask, and Blone Noble is that for me. It’s like sort of a prism that I shine this thing through and it does something else.”

To Salaway, this persona-as-mask is essential to preserving his own inner life. While picking the mask he wanted to use, Salaway had to make the conscious decision to deviate from the monotonous grind of everyday life, like keeping a job he had no interest in keeping just to survive.
“Choosing a mask that I want and throwing that out there in people’s faces, like really putting it out there, it has this sort of freeing effect, to where it has become so strong for me that it eradicated all the other masks that weren’t working,” Salaway says. “Those aren’t necessary anymore, because I’ve just got one good one now.”
Salaway’s collection of discarded misfit masks led him to his goal: a life authentically lived through collaging his passions onstage. Finding it almost impossible to function without expressing himself through this mask, a sonic epiphany came in the form of putting aside the guitar in favor of a synth. (This writer gets it; more synth, please!)
The other catalyst for Salaway’s Blone Noble was 2020’s shutdown of the world due to the COVID-19 pandemic, leading him down a rabbit-hole of writing and eventually finding the sound he calls “doomsday disco.” And then the name? Well, it fortuitously just fell into his lap.
Initially encountering “Blone Noble” in a word jumble that was left out somewhere, everything fell into place. Here was a name that encapsulated all the aesthetics of his project: lyrics collaged from past prose, pop provocateurs of days gone by that inspired him and a heavy, romantic synthpop sound.
“That combination of words just really stuck with me and felt really evocative. I couldn’t get it out of my head,” Salaway says.
Now Blone Noble is preparing to release a new EP, Dominator. Seeking to create music custom-built for the dance floor, he and collaborator James Matthew Seven produced the title track seemingly on the spot. And so a tone was set.
“It just kind of happened naturally and I was touring a lot, but I thought, instead of writing from an intellectual place — since I’m always focused on lyrics and a message — for this I just wanted to write banging pop songs that would get people moving,” Salaway says.
Friday’s Panic! showcase should be an excellent test run for these songs, as this is a crowd hungry to get down on the dancefloor, soundtracked by both carefully chosen performers and the resident DJs. Move your body to these synthy confessions of a mask.

LOCAL RELEASES
There was always something else about Patrick Hagerman. For one, he seemingly arrived fully formed. Even when he was a new face around here, Hagerman immediately impressed as a ripe and ready force. On the momentum of some surprisingly gripping introductory performances in 2019, Hagerman quickly earned a place in the most respected circles of the Central Florida Americana scene, where he’s proven he can hold his own onstage with the imposing likes of Hannah Harber, Terri Binion, Kaleigh Baker and other local greats.
But more than just talent, Hagerman exuded character and depth. He didn’t come with a young aura, and that was his edge. This wasn’t the spark of some 20-something taking a new shine to country spirit. This was the resonance of a grown man who’s lived a life of it.
With maturity comes the patience and commitment to know that something’s not ready until it’s right. And so it’s only now that Hagerman’s debut full-length album is finally set for release. On May 22, Gathering Turquoise will drop — and, befitting its time on the vine, the album is a crystal and comprehensive bottling of Hagerman and everything he’s been honing these years here.
Gathering Turquoise is a well-rendered affair that captures both his patina and range. Across 10 songs, Hagerman traverses country (“Evelyn,” “Hell on Purpose,” “Roberta”), blues (“Fringe”), folk (“Walmart,” “Border War”) and Southern rock (“Valdosta”). Of the album’s highlights, the darkly lush title track packs the kind of wringing Southern-gothic drama that might make Nick Cave smirk.“Minneapolis” is a wide-winged interstate country rocker that could star on a road-trip playlist alongside Lucero or American
Orlando singersongwriter Patrick Hagerman’s new album, Gathering Turquoise, is a work of craftmanship that proves neither novelty nor freshness cuts as deep as experience. This is truth, not youth
Aquarium. And the homespun humor of the John Prine-esque “Walmart” is a prime slice of Hagerman’s raconteur flair (a sweet bit of local trivia: It namedrops Kaleigh Baker).
Gathering Turquoise also features other Central Florida notables in even more tangible ways like Derek Engstrom (drums), Thomas Wynn (backing vocals) and Matt Walker (co-producer, guitars, vocals, bass). Though it’s a full-length debut, this album’s been cooking for a long time and it shows.
“This record took years to become what it was supposed to be,” says Hagerman. “I wanted to make something honest. Something human. These songs came from a lot of hard-earned moments, and I hope people can find pieces of themselves in them.”

night, Hagerman’s release show will be in Sanford at Tuffy’s Music Box with 24 Hour Karate People and Roc Helton. (7 p.m. Friday, May 22, $20)
CONCERT PICKS THIS WEEK
Uncontrolled Voltage 5: Any edition of live improvisation showcase Uncontrolled Voltage is worth your time just for experimental weirdness alone, but this latest is a particularly exceptional lineup. Berz3rkr will divide and conquer with Kit Wray’s solo modular set and Exatari’s processed field recording work. Trotsky’s Watercooler always operates out on the sonic edge with some of the weirdest hardware and no script. Drone flagbearer Danielfuzztone will take you either deep inside to a vision-questing frequency or out into space, probably both. And anyone born with a medical condition where they hear their own heartbeat in their ears like Venus Hum’s Tony Miracle does is already hardwired to make strange sounds. Visuals by Sasha King will make the night a proper multimedia voyage. (7:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 20, Will’s Pub, $10-$15)
Uncle Lou’s benefit shows: In response to his controversial ICE detainment, benefit shows for the beloved Uncle Lou are sprouting up fast and rightfully furious. This week has two notable ones. The first features homegrown alt-pop sirens Terradame, Alienobserver and Confessedlover (7 p.m. Saturday, May 23, Drunken Monkey, donations go to Lou’s legal defense fund). The second features Miami Spanish rockers Viloria, local folk rockers Foxlair and more TBA (8 p.m. Sunday, May 24, Will’s Pub, $10-$25). More benefit shows are materializing as we speak, so stay tuned and show up for one of the most crucial figures in the Orlando music scene. music@orlandoweekly.com

THURSDAY, MAY 21
Meldamor
Darkwave acts Meldamor, Last Grasp and Glass Chapel take the stage at Will’s Pub for a night of synthesized sounds perfect for fans of Depeche Mode or Boy Harsher. The Bauhaus-monikered “Kick in the Eye” goth night features two Floridabased post-punk bands, Last Grasp (Gainesville) and Glass Chapel (Jacksonville), with headliners Meldamor on tour from Phoenix. The latter duo explores themes of love, grief and pain in their music with a highly theatrical — and leather-encased — visual and performance style. 8 p.m., Will’s Pub, 1042 N. Mills Ave., willspub.org, $12$18. — Paige Bright
FRIDAY-SUNDAY, MAY 22-24
Orlando Downtown Carnival
The annual Orlando Downtown Carnival is a
three-day-long celebration of Caribbean culture through food, live music and connection. Beginning on Friday, festivities meet fashion downtown in Carnival on the Runway. The show features vibrant Caribbean-inspired designs from up-and-coming designers, all competing for a grand cash prize of $1,500. Starting bright and early on Saturday, the J’ouvert cultural explosion and street party will take over downtown. The festival continues strong into the afternoon with the Orlando Steelpan Festival, with music accompanied by Caribbean food and drinks. Rounding out the weekend on Sunday, the Mas Band Parade and Concert will be a spirited masquerade with high-energy live performances. Vibrant cultural celebrations like this are ever-more crucial in a state whose government is wrongheadedly obsessed with anti-DEI. Various times, downtown Orlando, orlandocarnivaldowntown.com, free-$87. — Mia Schaeperkoetter
SATURDAY, MAY 23
Buko Boys
Miami’s Buko Boys are breezing into Orlando with a sun-soaked set Saturday. The group has roots in the Philippines, with its name paying homage to the Tagalog word for coconut, “buko.” Their self-produced 2025 album, Float, melds a variety of sounds, including pop-punk energy on “Arctic Monkeys Type Beat” and a beachy bossa-nova sound on “Mactan Mood,” with other tracks effortlessly incorporating elements from R&B and jazz. The band honed their sound performing on the streaming platform Twitch, where they would jam, joke and share their close-knit personalities. The Buko Boys are bringing that same slacker charm to My Sister’s House at Boardwalk Bowl, alongside Catnap, Uber Crunch and Los Bajas. 7 p.m., My Sister’s House, 10749 E. Colonial Drive, instagram.com/ mysistershousepresents, $17.85. — MS
SATURDAY, MAY 23
Honey Tasting
Leu Gardens invites guests to enjoy the sweetness nature has to offer at a Honey Tasting class. Attendees can sample more than 20 different types of honey, ranging from cranberry honey made in Wisconsin to sugar gum honey from Kangaroo Island, Australia, to local varieties. The event aims to teach about the history of honey-making, beekeeping and the various uses of different types of honey, hosted by environmental scientist, butterfly gardener and backyard beekeeper Christopher Stalder. The honey will be paired with madeleine tea cakes. As climate change ravages the honeybee population to record lows, it’s important to support awareness of how vital these pollinators are to our lives. 1:30 p.m., Harry P. Leu Gardens, 1920 N. Forest Ave., leugardens.org, $28. — MS
SATURDAY, MAY 23
Hurricane Party Music Fest
Sanford’s summer-heralding and fate-tempting Hurricane Party punk fest is back for another raucous round this long weekend. The lineup is one of the strongest in recent memories, featuring ska and punk malcontents like Against All Authority, Mustard Plug, The Toasters, The Supervillains, and even resurgent bands Skif Dank and The Spitvalves. Rain or shine, natch. At 19 years, this rager is almost old enough to vote. Noon, West End Trading Co., 202 S. Sanford Ave., Sanford, drinkatwestend.com, $45. — Matthew Moyer
SATURDAY, MAY 23
Sidepiece
House heatseekers Sidepiece are on the way back to Orlando this week, as a headliner this time for the Warehouse Series instead of just part of
WEDNESDAY–TUESDAY,
the EDC legion. The Grammy-nominated duo are here as part of their (ahem) Horny House tour. The twosome of Dylan Ragland and Ricky Mears were already well-known as solo artists — as Party Favor and NITTI, respectively — but came together at first informally to bounce ideas off one another and quickly discovered a creative synergy that’s taken them all over the world.
The Sidepiece sound spans the many flavors of house, but always paired with earworm vocals.
A seasonally hot night will definitely be even
hotter when these two hit the Warehouse. 9 p.m., Orlando Warehouse at Orlando Amphitheater, 4603 W. Colonial Drive, orlandoamphitheater. com, $39-$94. — MM

Meet Chevy!
This is Chevy (A594384), a 4-yearold stray that has been at the shelter now for over a month. We have dogs that have been here much longer, but it has surprised us that a dog like Chevy has actually been here this long. Chevy is healthy, strong, a bit on the smaller side, and extremely mushy — she is what we like to call a Velcro dog. When we say Chevy is a HUGE mush, we mean it. She seeks out attention from everyone. Walking with Chevy means stopping every few seconds so that people can show her some love. And in the play yards, this muscular girl prefers spending all her time snuggling rather than playing. Who’s got time for toys and running around when there are hugs to be had and kisses to steal? Chevy is a lover, and whoever adopts her will be in for a happy surprise.
Orange County Animal Services is located at 2769 Conroy Road in Orlando, near the Mall at Millenia. The shelter is open 10 a.m.-6 p.m. every day except Wednesday, when it’s open 2-6 p.m. For more information, please call 407-8363111 or visit ocnetpets.com.
