Florida observes the three-year anniversary of the Parkland school shooting Last Sunday marked the three-year anniversary of Florida’s worst school shooting, a tragic milestone for families of the 17 murder victims and countless traumatized survivors. The horrific event at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland sparked the March For Our Lives movement, a nationwide gun-control effort launched by the school’s students and joined by hundreds of thousands of other teens, parents and supporters. Florida lawmakers, who were in the midst of the 2018 legislative session when Nikolas Cruz unleashed a volley of bullets at his former school in Broward County, took the rare step of enacting some gun-control measures in response to the shooting. The Legislature, for example, raised from 18 to 21 the age to purchase rifles and long guns, such as the semiautomatic weapon used to kill 14 students and three school staff members. Cruz was 19 years old at the time of the Feb. 14 attack on the school. Cruz was charged with 17 counts of murder. His trial is currently in limbo, as his legal team tries to avoid the death penalty sought by prosecutors. Shortly after then-Gov. Rick Scott signed the legislation, the National Rifle Association filed a lawsuit challenging the age requirement, arguing that it runs afoul of the Second Amendment. The lawsuit is still pending. Students, victims of violent crimes and gun-control advocates, meanwhile, continue the push for stronger gun laws. Stand With Parkland — the National Association of Families for Safe Schools, a group headed by the fathers of three students who were killed at the school, is advocating for “practical public safety reforms in response to mass shootings,” according to the nonprofit organization’s tax filings. The group, which is also pushing for national gun reforms, is backing a Florida legislative effort supported by two Broward County Democrats that proponents say would close “a dangerous gap” in school safety. The “Parents Need to Know” proposal (HB 951), sponsored in the House by Rep. Dan Daley, D-Coral Springs, would require school officials to inform parents about serious safety threats and incidents, along with steps schools are taking to address the issues. Sen. Shevrin Jones, D-West Park, is expected to file the proposal in the Senate. “On Feb. 14, 2018, my daughter Carmen lay dead on the floor of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, her cell phone ringing endlessly as her mother and I frantically called, longing desperately to hear her voice. Tragically, I found out too late this was a school with serious secu-

rity issues,” Stand with Parkland board member Phil Schentrup said in a news release last week. “The Parents Need to Know Act is a powerful yet simple remedy to these egregious problems. … I believe with this law in place, Carmen and 16 other amazing people would be alive today and every school across the state would be a safer place.” To honor the lives lost, the state Capitol will be illuminated in Marjory Stoneman Douglas’ school colors from Sunday through Feb. 21. — Dara Kam, News Service of Florida

Gun sales are surging in Florida, and the state can’t keep up with concealed weapon permitting With a surge in people seeking concealed-weapons licenses, a legislative panel this week will consider approving an additional $4.34 million for processing background checks. The Legislative Budget Commission, which is made up of House and Senate members, will consider the proposal during a Feb. 18 meeting. The Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services’ Division of Licensing, which oversees concealed weapons licenses, requested approval of what is known as budget authority to cover a projected $4.34 million deficit. “The Division of Licensing is experiencing the largest volume of concealed weapon license applications in the program’s history,” information prepared for the commission meeting said. “The 203,000 background checks billed by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement in the first six months of this year translates to an annual total of 400,000 background checks through June 30th, substantially above any prior fiscal year total.” — NSF

Jared Moskowitz, Florida Emergency Management official who oversaw the state’s COVID response, steps down Gov. Ron DeSantis confirmed Monday that Florida Emergency Management Director Jared Moskowitz is leaving the job after two years running point on the state’s response to hurricanes and COVID-19. Deputy Director Kevin Guthrie will replace Moskowitz, though a timeline was not given. DeSantis praised the work of the emergency management division and thanked Moskowitz, a Democrat whose wife and two sons continued to live in Broward County while he ran the Tallahassee-based agency. “He’s worked extremely hard, and his family is almost a world away in some respects,” DeSantis told reporters

at the Capitol. “Tallahassee down to Broward, it’s not like you can just hop on a plane all the time and get down there.” DeSantis acknowledged the change hours after Moskowitz confirmed to the USA Today Network his decision to leave the $145,230-a-year job. Moskowitz was appointed in December 2018, as the then-newly elected Republican governor prepared to take office. Moskowitz has played a key role in the state’s response to COVID-19, including in testing and vaccinations. He also helped lead recovery from Hurricane Michael, which devastated parts of the Panhandle in October 2018, and has led efforts as the state was threatened by hurricanes Dorian, Isaias, Laura and Sally. While in the Legislature, Moskowitz, who graduated from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and later served on the Parkland City Commission, helped draft the bipartisan School Safety Act in 2018 following a mass shooting at the school. “I am still haunted. Every second, of every hour, of every day,” Moskowitz tweeted last Sunday, the third anniversary of the shooting that left 17 people dead, including 14 students. After the 2020 presidential election, Moskowitz said he would listen if contacted by President Joe Biden to head the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The appointment eventually went to Deanne Criswell, who was New York City’s head of emergency management. Moskowitz’ departure is the latest move in a shake-up in DeSantis’ administration. Shane Strum, the governor’s chief of staff, is leaving to become chief executive officer at the North Broward Hospital District, one of the largest public-hospital districts in the nation. Department of Management Services Secretary Jonathan Satter, who was put in charge of the state’s troubled unemployment-compensation system last April, is stepping down, as is Department of Children and Families Secretary Chad Poppell. Shevaun Harris, who has served as interim secretary of the Agency for Health Care Administration, will replace Poppell. Meanwhile, Simone Marstiller, who has been secretary of the Department of Juvenile Justice, will head the Agency for Health Care Administration, which oversees Florida’s $30 billion Medicaid program and is charged with regulating hospitals, nursing homes and other health-care facilities. Halsey Beshears announced Jan. 15 that he was stepping down as secretary of the Department of Business and Professional Regulation due to health issues. Former Agency for Health Care Administration Secretary Mary Mayhew resigned in October to head the Florida Hospital Association. — Jim Turner, NSF

WOLVES AT THE DOOR Senate Democrats are more comfortable acting like prey than predator BY JE FFREY C. BIL L M A N

I wanted to ignore Donald Trump’s

impeachment trial. It would be a low-rent, low-stakes sequel whose ending was obvious from the opening credits, I assumed. I was mostly correct. The evidence of Trump’s guilt was undeniable and irrefutable. So was the cowardice of the Republican minority that would inevitably acquit him. It didn’t matter how compelling the House managers’ case was or how harrowingly dramatic their presentation. Republicans would find an excuse — a half-assed complaint about the process rather than the merits of Trump’s actions — just as they’d done 13 months ago during the first impeachment trial. This time, the twofold, self-contradictory excuse went like so: 1) The trial was unconstitutional because Trump is now a “private citizen.” 2) The House improperly rushed Trump’s impeachment before he left office. Needless to say, these aren’t serious arguments. (Democrats were supposed to move more slowly through impeachment, but try Trump faster? Or does impeachment not apply to the last month of a president’s term?) They’re not intended to be. They exist not to convince but to provide cover. The calculation was transparently cynical: Don’t offend Trump’s supporters (you’ll lose votes), but don’t endorse Trump’s rhetoric (you’ll lose funders). No one embodied this cynicism better than Sith lord Mitch McConnell, who, after voting to acquit the former president, made an effective case for Trump’s conviction. “American citizens attacked their own government. They used terrorism to try to stop a specific piece of democratic business they did not like,” the minority leader said.

“They did this because they had been fed wild falsehoods by the most powerful man on earth — because he was angry he’d lost an election.” He voted to acquit, McConnell continued, “because former President Trump is constitutionally not eligible for conviction. There is no doubt this is a very close question. Donald Trump was the president when the House voted [on Jan. 13], though not when the House chose to deliver the [impeachment] papers.” Not mentioned: McConnell, then majority leader, refused to recall the Senate from its recess to try Trump before Joe Biden’s inauguration. There’s nothing particularly interesting about McConnell’s well-documented duplicity or amoral lust for power. Nor is there anything novel about the thin reeds Republicans grasped at to project intellectual coherence while bending the knee to MAGA. Writing about conservative politics in the Trump era is like listening to an AC/DC record: The details change, but the song is basically the same. Still, two surprises happened on Saturday that lent drama to the fait accompli. The first was the House managers’ decision to call witnesses — which the Senate agreed to, then Democrats capitulated on in exchange for nothing. Specifically, House managers wanted to call a Republican congresswoman who issued a statement corroborating a CNN story about a phone call between Trump and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy in which Trump refused to call off the rioters during the insurrection. The testimony might not have changed Republican votes, but it would have increased the political price

of acquittal. Trump’s lawyers knew this. So did Senate Republicans, who threatened to drag out the trial for weeks. Democrats could have called their bluff. Instead, they caved. Like kindergartners, they wanted their recess. Or, as Sen. Chris Coons reportedly told House managers, “People want to get home for Valentine’s Day.” It was an own goal for the ages. As House manager Rep. Jamie Raskin, the star of the trial, put it: “If you make yourself a sheep, the wolves will eat you.” Democrats were perhaps saved from their own fecklessness by surprise No. 2: Seven Republicans voted to convict Trump, making this the most bipartisan impeachment trial in history. Most were predictable. Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah voted to convict Trump a year ago. Sens. Ben Sasse of Nebraska and Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania condemned Trump after the Jan. 6 riot, and Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska demanded his resignation. They and Sen. Susan Collins of Maine rejected a Republican motion in late January to declare the trial unconstitutional. More unexpectedly, on the trial’s first day, Louisiana Sen. Bill Cassidy joined the apostates in a second vote on the impeachment’s constitutionality. Very unexpectedly, on Saturday, Sen. Richard Burr of North Carolina declared Trump “guilty of inciting an insurrection.” Applaud them for swimming against the tide. But they weren’t jumping on a live grenade. Burr and Toomey are retiring. Cassidy and Collins won’t face re-election until 2026. Neither will Sasse, though he might seek the GOP’s presidential nomination by carving out an anti-MAGA lane. If Romney runs in 2024, he’ll need Utah’s independents and Democrats. Murkowski is up next year, but Alaska’s new ranked-choice system means she doesn’t have to cater to the MAGA crowd. It goes without saying that the half-dozen other Republicans with purported presidential aspirations obsequiously backed Trump. State parties in Nebraska, Louisiana and North Carolina denounced their treacherous senators. Trump allies in the House lashed out at McConnell. And Trump bootlicker Lindsey Graham announced that Burr’s vote made Trump’s daughter-inlaw Lara Trump the favorite to replace Burr — never mind her lack of qualifications or New York residency — which must be unhappy news to far-right candidate Mark Walker, who’d already condemned Burr. These are the outlines of the forthcoming power struggle: Trump will insert himself into primaries to reward loyalists and punish adversaries. McConnell will try to hold back a flood of fringe candidates while keeping his caucus together by refocusing their enmity on the Democrats’ agenda. His tightrope act will allow no room for compromise. Herein lies a lesson Democrats would be foolish not to learn: Though Trump’s culpability was never in dispute, Democrats couldn’t muster 60 votes to convict him. How do they expect to overcome a filibuster on anything substantial? Of course, eliminating the filibuster is a wolf move, and Senate Democrats are more comfortable being prey than predator.

PILATES BODIES Is For ALL

ain had become a way of life for Jen O’Mara. Even as a physical therapist, the Florida native suffered for years from hip problems which seemed to have no end. “I was born with something called ‘hip dysplasia,’” she says. “My hip used to come out of socket a lot when I was younger, and every step I took was painful.” Then she discovered Pilates.

“Pilates helped to lengthen and strengthen the supporting muscles around the hip so they’re more supportive to the hip joint itself,” she explains. Within three months of practicing Pilates, O’Mara noticed a significant difference. After a year, she was “drastically better. I mean, 60-70% better.” Now an active marathon runner, weightlifter, and physical fitness guru, she tells us, “I can do everything I want to do because Pilates put me in a position where I can use my muscles appropriately.” It began in the late 1990s when O’Mara was asked to hire a Pilates instructor for her physical therapy practice. After taking a few sessions from an instructor, she decided to become one herself and enrolled in a yearlong certification program. O’Mara became certified in 2000 and three years later opened her own studio, The Pilates Loft, right here in Orlando. She recently took a quick break from her busy schedule to tell us more about Pilates’ myths, mythology, and misconceptions. Pilates: What exactly is it? “Pilates is the glue that holds everything together so I can do everything I enjoy,” O’Mara says. The body conditioning method was developed in the early 20th century by another physical trainer, Joseph Pilates, who created a unique system of movements to alleviate the effects of his own illness. A sufferer of multiple infirmities as a child, Pilates restored his body’s health through fitness principles which are still used to this day. Applied properly, those principles help reverse bodily damage—like O’Mara’s hip issues—and improve overall wellness. So...it’s like yoga, right? While yoga shares certain wellness principles with Pilates, there are some major differences between the two fitness methods. Pilates focuses on active movement rather than holding the same positions for extended periods of time,

and its breathing techniques significantly differ from yoga’s. O’Mara quotes a first-generation instructor who worked alongside Joseph Pilates: “In one, you think about your spirit, love, and mindfulness. In the other, you think about your butt.” Do I have to be in shape to do Pilates? “People have an impression Pilates isn’t for everyone,” O’Mara says. But in reality, it is. Whether you’re a beginner, a world-class athlete, or somewhere in between, you’ll start at the first level to learn Pilates’ basic principles and “get the most out of each position.” And while her studio’s clientele includes two NFL players, seven NBA players, and three professional golfers, there’s plenty of room for those who aren’t yet at the top of their game. O’Mara tells us her oldest student is 87 years old, proving that Pilates truly is “an exercise for a lifetime.” Are all Pilates studios the same? Just because a studio has “Pilates” in its name doesn’t mean it’s a certified Pilates instruction center. Before Pilates lost its trademark in 2000, only instructors certified by the Pilates Studio of New York were allowed to use the term. Nowadays, the lack of federal regulation means pretty much anyone can call themselves a Pilates instructor—even if they’re not certified to teach the classical method like O’Mara. “The original method is the best way,” she says. “And the safest.” Can I do Pilates outside of a studio? There are plenty of alternatives to in-studio Pilates, but O’Mara recommends starting with a private session from a certified instructor (her studio requires it for first-timers) to ensure safety and proper form. All Pilates Loft instructors are classically trained—“a very rare thing to find”—which guarantees “you get the same quality experience, no matter who [trains you].” And when it comes to training, the Loft’s limit of eight people per group

ensures you’ll always receive the personalized attention you deserve. In addition to the Orlando studio, The Pilates Loft has two locations in Arlington, VA, all of which are official United States Pilates Association certification centers. Considering there are only seven total USPA-certified centers in the nation, it’s no wonder people around the country have flocked to The Pilates Loft—both in-person and virtually via private Zoom classes. “We’ve had a great response,” O’Mara says. With “more than 50% of advanced classes” and “six people from other states’’ in regular virtual attendance, doing Pilates from a distance isn’t much of a stretch.

We started planning for this in August of last year, knowing that we weren’t going to be able to do Immerse in October. We asked ourselves what kind of content could we start producing — and we had already been working on Bright Young Things. We wanted to take that concept and expand upon it and make something that was more conducive for families, but would still be really interesting for adults. I had met Donald Spencer, who is the director of this show and wrote the script and did the casting, last year. He has a company called Modern Theatricals and they’ve done some original shows at the Dr. Phillips Center in the Pugh Theater. When I saw photos of his work I was really impressed with the costumes. He definitely brought that A-game to the costumes for Down the Rabbit Hole. I knew it’d be a cool opportunity to partner together because he’s such a great master at the visuals of the show and I knew that’d be important for Down the Rabbit Hole. You’ve switched locations from Leu Gardens to Mead Garden — what was it that attracted you to Mead? Leu Gardens is great for something like Dazzling Nights

THE MAD HATTER & THE CATERPILLAR | PHOTOS BY MIKE DUNN

we ended because we realized we could add a few staff members and keep people moving in the right direction. We’re constantly looking at how we’re keeping our audiences distanced and safe from one another from a capacity standpoint. All of our timed ticket entries for these events have been really helpful. And all of our guests wear masks while they’re doing the experience. Do your performers or team members ever get any hostility in enforcing or reminding people about these measures? You know, one of the things that I have noticed is that people are just so ready to experience something interesting and meaningful that we haven’t really had any issues of needing to enforce, because people are respectful, and I’m grateful for that. The people who are coming to our events are respectful of the things that we’ve asked them to do. And we make that abundantly clear before they even arrive. So before they buy a ticket, they see that there’s a mask requirement. When they get their confirmation emails and follow-up emails that stuff is reinforced. By the time they get there, it’s not a surprise to anyone.

because … we ended up having about 37,000 guests go through Dazzling Nights and most of that is paved. There’s walking paths and things like that that are all really conducive for getting that many people through a thing. Mead Garden is quite different from Leu Gardens in that it’s a little bit more rustic. It has more winding paths and narrow walkways and more trees and it really does feel like a forest. And that’s something that we wanted for this show. What knowledge have you taken from doing Dazzling Nights and Bright Young Things, and then put toward this? One of the things I really love about doing this event at Mead Garden that’s different from Bright Young Things is that Mead is a little bit more of an exclusive environment. Doing Bright Young Things in the middle of downtown Orlando on a Saturday night, even in October, there were just thousands of people and tons of loud music. Motorcycles every 45 seconds. And so there were just a lot of complications with that. Though that points to the bigger idea of programming anything outside, which is that there are always unexpected things that happen, and rather than fighting those things, we’re embracing the reality that unexpected things are going to happen, and we’re not going to fight, but embrace them, and just continue to move through those moments. It’s just continuing to learn about the challenges of producing

Do you think this will be a long-term trend where audiences are more receptive to seeing art and music and theater in unconventional spaces? I think audiences already have an appetite for that, something in an uncontrollable environment and how to regardless of whether or not they know it. One of the ways that we’ve connected with so many work with the environment as opposed to against it. people is because we’re producing content and producing content in ways that are unique and I think audiences are Have you been inspired by other locals doing other kinds of outdoor events, immersive theater, really drawn to that. I, as an audience member, am drawn to that. I love going to things that are in unique spaces or music? I think it’s been really wonderful to see people doing going to performances that are not staged in a traditional that. Crystal Edwards, who is our programming director for way. So when it comes to producing, that’s something that Immerse, is part of a dance company that did a pretty cool I think a lot about and get excited about in the creative drive-around-town dance performance in the fall.

That’s an interesting question because for me, I think outside of their normal and traditional performance venue. … It’s just cool to see how our arts organizations are this has been a learning process of releasing my anxiety shifting what they do to continue to provide interesting and over producing content outside, because I love being able important arts for our community, and in a lot of ways that’s to control the environment as much as possible.

Spring Guide 2021 BY MATTHEW MOYER, MELISSA PEREZ-CARRILLO AND BAO LE-HUU

This

pandemic year has presented those of us who cover local events with a terrible dilemma. We know that it is utterly irresponsible and dangerous, not just to yourself but to everyone around you, to gather in groups. On the other hand, the small venues and businesses that make our city the vibrant place we love are suffering. And let’s not forget, human contact is a very real need, and 100 percent abstinence has been proven time and again to be an unrealistic standard. Ultimately, Orlando Weekly is a newspaper, not a spiritual guide. This feature exists to tell you what’s happening in your city, not what you should or shouldn’t do with your own life. Our readers are adults who are able to make their own decisions, weigh the consequences, and accept them — as is our staff. Please assess your own risk and consult your own ethics, and do what you can to make good choices.

of the 170-member choir — there’s no safe way to pull off that type of onstage gathering. But conductor John V. Sinclair and Festival organizers have instead put together a number of smaller ensembles and groupings of musicians to keep the quality high. Bach Festival performances are taking place outdoors at Winter Park’s Central Park, in Knowles Memorial Chapel at Rollins College, and virtually for “Bach at Home” events. Highlights still to come this month include: “Big Band Bach: Back Again,” an outdoor performance of Bach’s work rearranged in the big-band style by Rollins professor Chuck Archard; and “MMM … Mozart, Mendelssohn, and McCartney,” presenting symphonic works by this trio of composers performed by the Bach Festival Orchestra. Prices and locations vary by performance. Bach Festival Society of Winter Park, bachfestivalflorida.org

THROUGH MAY 21 (and possibly beyond) FRONTYARD FESTIVAL There’s been considerable hustle over the last year by the city’s live music venues to adapt to the times for safety and survival, but none have met the challenge with as much infrastructure and all-in commitment as the Dr. Phillips Center. By effectively turning itself inside out and becoming downtown’s own semi-permanent festival grounds of private boxes, the venue resumed its live programming on a grand scale out in its urban plaza. The Frontyard Festival is going even bigger this spring with heavyweight headliners from Jason Isbell to Wynton Marsalis to Foreigner, all at a time when touring has ground to a halt. They’ve even extended their outdoors, socially distanced setup to host community events like the Live & Local Lunch matinee concerts, morning fitness class series Start Me Up and a very nicely priced Sunday Disney film series. Game-changing. Prices vary per performance. Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, 445 S.

(And, we’re guessing, unlucky smaller cars being smashed to atoms.)

Three seasonal events happening now at local attractions that you can enjoy in the great outdoors ALICE, THE DORMOUSE AND THE MAD HATTER TAKE TEA | PHOTO COURTESY CREATIVE CITY PROJECT

If our recent wave of unseasonably warm weather has you itching to leave your house, but you’re still antsy about attending activities inside, here are three seasonal events happening now at local attractions that you can enjoy in the great outdoors.

MARDI GRAS AT UNIVERSAL ORLANDO New Orleans nixed this year’s Fat Tuesday celebrations, but we Floridians won’t allow a little pandemic to interfere with our party plans. Universal Orlando is still letting the good times roll with their 26th annual Mardi Gras event, even if their signature parades and concerts have been canceled. In place of the usual entertainment, visitors to Universal Studios Florida will find this year’s pirate-themed floats parked all around the park, accompanied by costumed performers tossing beads to passersby from a safe distance. Instead, Universal has rebranded Mardi Gras into an International Flavors of Carnival food festival celebrating 13 different culinary cultures, from Bahamian jerked jackfruit (one of many vegan-friendly dishes) to Trinidad’s Queen’s Park Swizzle, a deceptively potent rum drink. My other top picks from the tasting menus include German bratwurst (so savory you’d never guess it’s plant-based), Cuban empanadas and Spanish seafood paella; each dish is even served with a cute miniature flag identifying its country of origin. Considering that this is Universal’s first attempt at an Epcotstyle food festival, I was impressed by the variety and value. Beer is served in 9-ounce cups (versus 6 ounces for a similarly priced pour at Disney) and annual passholders can buy a 15-sample lanyard for $65, bringing the per-item cost to $4.33. Best of all: There are plenty of cocktail tables, so you don’t have to eat off a trash can. (daily through March 28)

SEVEN SEAS FOOD FESTIVAL AT SEAWORLD When SeaWorld Orlando launched their Seven Seas Food Festival in 2017, I praised it for offering a better bang (or buzz) for your buck than similar events. This year’s fifth edition has expanded to over 200 items across 26 locations, creating what SeaWorld is calling “the largest theme park food festival in Central Florida.” Unfortunately, there are signs that the Seven Seas Food Festival has grown too fast for its own good. Attending last week’s private media preview, I enjoyed all the samples from the “Chef’s Top 7 Selections,” especially the rich lobster mac & cheese, Korean BBQ lamb ribs and crispy pork belly bites. But everything I tasted from the publicly accessible booths ranged from mediocre to inedible: conch fritters filled with tooth-

cracking shell fragments; rubbery, foul-tasting fried oysters; and a miserly lobster roll of mealy leg meat drowned in celery dressing. Even the best option – a tuna poke bowl – was missing advertised ingredients, a symptom of undertrained staff attempting overambitious recipes. SeaWorld, unlike all other major parks during this pandemic, is also hosting live stadium concerts, with acts like Air Supply and Blue Öyster Cult of “Don’t Fear the Reaper” fame demonstrating that someone in their booking department has a darkly ironic sense of humor. Limited seating capacity and social distancing will supposedly be observed, with show audio piped into various places around the park. But based on the laissez-faire enforcement of rules that I observed during my latest visit, you may want to double-mask yourself if you attend. (Fridays-Sundays through May 9)

‘DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE’ AT MEAD GARDEN The Dazzling Nights walk-though light display at Leu Gardens was a highlight of this past holiday season, so I was eagerly anticipating this new production from Creative City Project at Mead Botanical Garden on the erroneous assumption that it was a similar exhibit with some Lewis Carroll characters added. Instead, Modern Theatricals writer-director Donald Spencer created an enchanting immersive experience that far exceeded my already elevated expectations. Alice (Cora Foss at my performance, rotating with four other actresses) leads small groups of patrons along forested pathways illuminated in psychedelic colors, encountering iconic Wonderland inhabitants like the anxious White Rabbit (Euther Garcia), chillaxing Caterpillar (Chase Shellee) and homicidal Queen of Hearts (Jen Whitmire). My favorite moments during the hour-long adventure included a comical poem from Tweedledee and Tweedledum (Kellie Schreiber and Joel Swanson) and a pun-filled song by a Singing Flower (Kristen Sheola). I’ve attended several walk-through theater pieces during the past year, including Creative City Project’s Bright Young Things, but Down the Rabbit Hole was by far the best organized and produced, despite some minor technical glitches during my preview performance. The only criticisms I can offer are that the off-road journey isn’t ADA-friendly (be sure to wear sturdy walking shoes), and the climactic lip-synced pop-music dance number feels aggressively out of step with the rest of the evening’s whimsical tone. If Creative City can continue supporting this type of unique, intimate experiences, I’m A-OK with their Immerse street festival remaining on extended hiatus.

NEON BEACH

SURF AND TURF

Neon Beach has plenty of booze and barbecue to slake and feed bar-goers in downtown Orlando BY FAIYAZ KARA

ob Bair, founder of Tin & Taco and Gringos Locos and el jefe of the downtown taco scene, makes an effort to bring a little South Beach glam to his latest effort — a barbecue beach bar with all the proto-’80s revivalist style of a vaporwave screensaver. Neon Beach is the name, and walking into the downtown haunt had me wishing I still owned a white linen suit, pastel tee and Carrera 5512 aviators. Well, the Carreras anyway. Not throwing, um, shade at Neon Beach, but there are, um, shades of beach-themed taco chain Bartaco here — the whitewashed walls, the light woods, the hanging basketweave lighting fixtures. The place is also appropriately flip-flop friendly, not that you’d catch me wearing my OluKais here: The only thing I hate more than sand between my toes are the sticky remnants of beer and cocktail spills. And while Neon Beach is one of those places that blurs the line between bar and restaurant, the vibe here is most certainly bar. The menu, however, is restaurant-sized, with many items making good use of the inhouse smoker, and that includes veg fare like burnt ends ($8.50) of dry-rubbed tofu. Now, I’m no bean curd expert, but I’m pretty sure these burnt ends weren’t fash-

ioned from the scraps and trimmings left over after butchering a block of tofu. The cubes are tossed with grilled pineapple and squirted with a zippy mango-ancho sauce, and, in true barbecue fashion, the dish is served on a paper-lined aluminum tray. So are the “Florida Man” smoked brisket sandwich ($13) and the “Double Wide” smoked pork sandwich ($11). Thing is, when we cut those sammies in half with a plastic knife, it took a good amount of paper with it. Butcher paper is what’s needed on those trays — but nothing’s needed in those handhelds. That mango-ancho sauce juiced up the “Double Wide” sandwich, layered with shaved gouda and crunched with citrus slaw and fried onion straws, quite nicely. We loved the flavors, even if the bun was no match for the weighty ingredients. With fried jalapeños and a datil pepper barbecue sauce, the “Florida Man” brisket sandwich had

OPENINGS

plenty of heat, while a schmear of nitro bacon jam lent a fair bit of sweetness as well. The overflow of fried pickles dropped hits of acid into the sandwich. Nice. I was sure there’d be a taco of some sort on the menu, but no. Instead, we opted to munch on sesame- and scallion-flecked ahi tuna nachos ($14.50) comprised of housefried wontons, wakame seaweed salad, and drizzles of Thai chili and wasabi aioli. It’s Bair’s homage to Islamorada (where the dish is a staple), but we did find Mexican flavors in the smokehouse turkey bowl ($12.50). OK, it was a semblance of Mexican flavors courtesy of charred corn, avocado and spice-rubbed garbanzo beans, but the turkey tenderloins and their heavy hickory-smoked essence impressed. It’s a feel-good, healthy rice bowl — a coconut-infused jasmine rice bowl — that should leave you feeling less guilty about downing a frozen boozy Dole whip ($6.50 small; $10 large) or two. Or three. Or four. It’s a quintessential Orlando quaff, but if you’re dining in and find yourself requesting more than a few from your masked server, check yourself. Neon Beach isn’t a den of Orlando vice. fkara@orlandoweekly.com

From pop-up to permanent restaurant, Papa Llama is serving some of the finest Peruvian fare in the city.

McDormand and David Strathairn, as a close friend of Fern — are the actual people they portray, or close to it. Some have called this type of genre mashup gimmicky or pretentious, but Nomadland is neither. Some of the performances are a bit clunky, and the film’s pacing and anecdotal structure are an acquired taste, but Zhao’s screenplay (based on a book by Jessica Bruder) doesn’t strike a single insincere note. Though I must admit I admire the film more than I like it, I’m grateful for the opportunity to follow Fern and her friends on their journey. The film has inspired a debate over which filmmaking style is most effective in capturing emotion and authenticity. Some critics — this one included — will always be partial to great roles performed by the best possible actor, without regard to that actor’s background. Others applaud absolute authenticity in casting, going so far as to describe traditional casting as elitist. Speaking to that latter group, I’m reminded of what Laurence Olivier said to Dustin Hoffman when he discovered that Hoffman, in a deep dive into method acting in Marathon Man, had been depriving himself of sleep: “My dear boy, why don’t you just try acting?” But the cinema is a big place, with room for all styles. Like Fern’s world, its horizons are breathtakingly broad. feedback@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

And yes, I just heard the phrase “equal motherf**kin’ protection” ringing in my ears, same as you did. (Netflix)

PREMIERES FRIDAY:

Behind Her Eyes — On a list of bad personal choices, how high would you rank “having an affair with your psychiatrist boss”? Would it be just below “going on to befriend his wife”? Protagonist Louise (Simona Brown) has six episodes to redeem herself with smarter moves, like investing in crypto. (Netflix)

PREMIERES THURSDAY: Arthur’s Law — From Germany comes a 2018 dark-comedy series about a guy who just wishes his wife would die so he can spend her money on his mistress. “And who could have a problem with that?” asks Joss Whedon.

You know, I’m so used to alternate-history stories and bad COVID metaphors by now that I had to read that synopsis two times before I realized … oh yeah, AIDS.

It’s The Muppet Show! All five seasons, including the two that were never available on home video! Fingers crossed that they got all the relevant music clearances.

LOCAL RELEASES

Orlando band Whyte Tygers have had four of their songs played on MTV. While that doesn’t mean quite the same now as if it had occurred in the 1980s or 1990s, it’s noteworthy nonetheless. And if you’re a regular viewer of Teen Mom, you’ve been hearing a lot of the current rock project of Heather Lee and Jordan Wynn, the talented couple whose Orlando cred runs deep as part of the Wynn musical dynasty. Their latest single, “Keep Your Eyes on Me,” was featured in a recent episode of Teen Mom OG. The taut, stylish indie-rock jam was released last Friday, Feb. 12, and is streaming on Spotify. A notable February release from the artistic fringe is Cheap Heat Vol. 4 by Panama City’s Joel Switzer and Orlando’s Jonas Van den Bossche. As an active artist whose own home sometimes opened as forward-thinking show space the Dining Room — where I’ve seen some truly amazing performers, like Tatsuya Nakatani — Van den Bossche is a key figure in our city’s experimental music scene. Like his own live performances, this two-track recording is a harrowing trek on the jagged edge where avant-garde and noise collide. It’s available on the Bandcamp page of Switzer’s Fork and Spoon Recordings as a name-your-price download. While much of the country is in the deep freeze, Cocoa Beach band Dunies just dropped a one-two punch of perfect beach-punk that’s pure sun and fun. In the summer of 2019, this obscure surf-punk act sprang from out of nowhere fully formed and blew me away at a small show at the Falcon, and their latest two-song offering, Two for You, is a good taste of why. It’s also available as a download on Bandcamp.

DeLand progressive heavy rockers Kaupe this week drop sophomore album Cognitive Dissonance, a cinematic work that blends drama, dynamics and riffs

CONCERT PICKS THIS WEEK

If you go out, respect everyone’s distance, for all our sakes. Death of Ivan Ilych: Over two performances, Opera Orlando is premiering this Tolstoy-inspired opera composed by Sarasota composer John Young and featuring a libretto by Alan Olejniczak, with musicians from Alterity Chamber Orchestra. Informed directly by the composer’s own battle with cancer, the one-act, English-sung chamber opera should trace the line between life and death in especially personal ways. The performances will occur in the Orlando Museum of Art’s Grand Gallery Hall, and admission includes pre-show drinks, light appetizers and a post-show dessert reception where you can meet the cast and musicians. For safety, seating is limited. (7:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 19, and 5 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 21, Orlando Museum of Art, $77.25) Kaupe: Also in the heat of this week’s release derby are DeLand progressive heavy

rockers Kaupe, whose sophomore album, Cognitive Dissonance, drops Friday, Feb. 19, and can be pre-ordered on Bandcamp. Hefty and charging, it’s a cinematic work that blends drama, dynamics and riffs. To mark the occasion, local promoter Montgomery Drive has organized an album release show downtown on Saturday, Feb. 20. It’s an impressively diverse bill that includes Ginko Balboa, Bear in the Woods and beat-minded synthwavers ACP Pro, who themselves just released a new track and accompanying video with Canadian artist Stilz titled “RFE/RL” on Feb. 13. Show is limited-capacity, with masks required. Tickets available through Ticketweb. (8 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 20, Soundbar, $10) Oxford Noland and Someday River: This appearance by rootsy Tampa indie rockers Oxford Noland is part of a threedate Florida tour that will be the source material for their next album, One Take Live. These shows in Orlando, Tampa and Jacksonville will be documented by a corps of videographers, photographers, audio engineers and lighting designers to make the band’s live album a real production. Equally notable on the bill are Orlando indie-folk band Someday River, who always paint their tall, airy melodies with an expansive palette and are finishing up a new six-song record titled On Dreaming that’s planned for release this spring. The seated show is limitedcapacity and seating options are individual bar stools, two-top tables or four-top tables. Masks must be worn when not in your seat. (9 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 20, Will’s Pub, $10 presale/$15 door) baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

FEB. 17-23, 2021 ● ORLANDO WEEKLY

“PANDEMIC PRESSURES” I’m a gay guy living in New York in his late 20s. My boyfriend has really been emotionally impacted by the pandemic, having been a frontline worker. I think he is suffering from some mild depression or at the very least some intense anxiety, so I just want to preface this by saying I completely sympathize with what he’s going through. Before the pandemic we had a really good sex life, but lately he hasn’t been interested in sex at all besides a few assisted masturbation sessions. While I know that these aren’t usual times, I can’t help feeling rejected. Normally, I would suggest opening up the relationship, for the sake of both myself and him, and I think that he might benefit from having sex with some guys where there isn’t an emotional investment. Of course, right now that isn’t an option. I want to be there for him and we otherwise have a solid relationship, but this issue has been making me feel hurt. I’ve encouraged him to masturbate without me but I do wish he could include me more in his sexual life. Do you have any other thoughts or advice? Thanks For Reading As much as I hate to give you an unsatisfactory answer — you aren’t satisfied with what you’re getting at home and you’re not going to be satisfied with what you get from me either — the only way to find out whether his loss of libido is entirely pandemic-related, TFR, is to wait out of the pandemic and see if your sexual connection doesn’t rebound and/or if opening up the relationship is the right move for you guys as a couple. But if you suspect the collapse of your boyfriend’s libido has more to do with what he’s witnessed and endured as a front-line worker than it has to do with you or your relationship, TFR, therapy will do him more good than sleeping with other guys or masturbating without you. Urge him to do that instead. My dad is dying. He had a stroke two days ago and is in a coma with no brain function. My aunt (his sister) is trying to make me feel guilty for not traveling to see him, even though I’m pregnant and high risk. I would have to take an airplane across the country and multiple public buses to see him. I would have to risk my baby’s life to say goodbye to a man I love with all my heart. She insists that if I don’t, I didn’t love my dad. I’m heartbroken. I keep calling his hospice and they set the phone next to his head so I can talk at him. He was so excited about my pregnancy and I know he would not want me to risk it. But now not only am I grieving my father, I feel guilty and selfish. Am I right to be angry? My aunt’s brother is dying. She’s sad. Everyone is sad. But this is not the first time 56

she has used guilt to try and control others in moments of trauma. Crying On My Abdomen There has to be someone in your life who would be willing to step in and tell your aunt to go fuck herself. If there isn’t, COMA, send me your aunt’s phone number and I’ll do it. P.S. I’m so sorry about your dad — who is already gone — and I’m sorry your kid won’t get to meet their grandfather. And you have every right to be furious with your aunt for giving you grief when you have all the grief you can handle right now. Don’t get on that plane. I am a 26-year-old heterosexual girl. After four years with my boyfriend (and with the pandemic on top of it), we started to experience sex issues. It is mainly from my side. I (almost) never get satisfaction out of sex. I’m always enthusiastic about having sex but I don’t feel “involved” and I could literally be solving math problems in my head while we have sex. As the situation is frustrating, I talked to him and suggested that more foreplay could help me stay engaged and enjoy the sex. He was puzzled by my “need for foreplay” to reach orgasm but committed to trying. However, after minimal initial effort, he stopped trying and the limited foreplay ceased. He probably got frustrated by the amount of time I require to “warm up” and his efforts dried up and he began rebuffing me whenever I attempted to initiate sex. Recently after he turned my sexual advances down yet again, I decided to masturbate. The result was him being upset and taking offense at my “unpleasant behavior.” Should I feel guilty about masturbating when he turns me down? I am hurt and very frustrated by this situation. Masturbation Alone Turns Harsh Allow me to decipher the message your pussy is desperately trying to send you, MATH, as you lie there doing math problems while your boyfriend treats your body like it’s a Fleshlight: “Wouldn’t you rather masturbate alone and in peace than ever have to fuck this asshole again?” Everyone requires a little foreplay, women require more than men do, it takes women longer to get off than it takes men (five minutes on average for men, 13 minutes on average for women) and very few women can climax from vaginal intercourse alone. Any straight guy who isn’t willing to do the work — provide the necessary foreplay and come through with the non-PIV stimulation or concurrent-with-PIV stimulation required to get a woman off — doesn’t deserve to have a girlfriend. DTMFA.

I’m a 53-year-old gay man and I’ve never been hornier in my life. I really need to guzzle about a quart of jizz right now. I haven’t been dating anyone and the COVID isolation has intensified my loneliness, but it’s the lack of D that’s driving me to distraction. The last time I sucked a dick was the afternoon Los Angeles began its first shutdown. Here’s the thing. I just had the first dose of the vaccine and the second is scheduled in a couple weeks. Is it safe to suck someone’s dick who has also had the vaccine? Everything I found on Google only talks about how the vaccine may affect pregnant women. What about us cum whores? Got the Fever for the Flavor Where have you been? I predicted at the beginning of the pandemic — based on what little we knew about transmission at the time — that we were entering a new golden age of glory holes. Two months later the New York City Health department was recommending “barriers, like walls, that allow sexual contact while preventing close face-to-face contact,” aka glory holes — and that was the harm-reduction advice given by health professionals long before vaccines became available. Seeing as you’re vaccinated, your risks are going to be lower. But to play it safe: Build your own glory hole, invite a guy over, tell him to keep his mask on, and avoid close face-to-face by staying on your knees on the other side of that barrier. I wanted to second something you wrote about kinks last week. You said — I’m paraphrasing here — that kinks are hard-wired but some people do manage to acquire them. My husband is into rope bondage. I gave it a try a couple of times at the very start of our relationship and for whatever reason being tied up didn’t work for me. We had great vanilla sex and he had a small stable of bondage boys on the side. A few months after the lockdowns began he started to worry about getting rusty. I offered to let him practice on me. I don’t know what changed, Dan, but when he tied me up for the first time in a decade, I was so turned on! At first I thought it was the pot edible but we’ve done it a bunch of times since, times when I wasn’t high, and I’ve enjoyed it just as much or more. Now I’m the one pestering him to go get the ropes. I somehow acquired his kink and he couldn’t be happier! Restrictions Of Pandemic Enables Development Thanks for sharing, ROPED! mail@savagelove.net
