¶ Hey Kool-Aid! Informed Dissent’s Jeffrey C. Billman spent his last column (“Immunized against reality,” July 14) inveighing against the pig-headedness of Trump supporters and fellow travelers who refuse to get the COVID vaccine, saying it’s an encapsulation of the mindset of too many in power who choose to fiddle as, sadly not figuratively, the planet burns. “We chose stupidity,” wrote Billman. Naturally our readers had thoughts and takes. @Marta Lucia VivasGutierrez: But Trump got his! @Rikard Linn Granstav II: And the IQ test continues. Darwin would appreciate this situation. @Gary Goldenbaum: Glad they are standing up for their freedom of choice. They are going to show the rest of us how wrong we were. @Joe Llorens: This is not “good,” it isn’t “Darwinism,” and it should in no way be cheered or applauded. The more air this virus has to breathe the more it’ll continue mutating. The more it mutates, the less effective the vaccines will be — even the vaccines coursing through the veins of everyone feeling smug about this article. I wholeheartedly agree that everyone medically eligible should have the vaccine. I can’t wait for expanded access to
‘COUP THING’
younger ages. But if your reaction to this is coming from a place where you feel safe from its effects then you’re not displaying much more understanding of the situation than those who are refusing to get the shot. @Marie Cooper: Joe, great points! Also, those who refuse the vaccine are displaying a callous disregard for themselves and others. Let’s not stoop to that level by celebrating tragedy. @Carol Shirley: Joe, you’re right, but I am so angry that they’ve prolonged this virus, empowering the mutations to dominate and reducing efficacy of the vax. They are the ones holding society, schools, hospitals and the economy hostage. If they’d think about someone besides themselves, we’d already be on the exit ramp of this. Now our kids and educators have to deal with another dangerous school year. I’m angry. I don’t want to wear my damn mask, but I must because of the antivaxers. Something is very wrong with this. @Monica Wire: This is really bad for children under the age of 12, who are returning to school with no masks required. @John Alexander: It’s 2021 and COVID is still around, will these ass clowns admit it was real all along and they were wrong? Nah, they’d rather people die than slightly inconvenience the economy even though Wall Street is going to crash soon anyway like it always does. They just know they’ll get a bailout.

PROUD AND LOUD As of now, Florida has more individuals charged in connection with the Jan. 6 attack than anywhere else in the nation, including some local cops BY ALEX GALBRA IT H A N D COL I N WOL F
A
former Apopka police officer with ties to the white nationalist group the Proud Boys was arrested last Thursday by the Federal Bureau of Investigation for charges stemming from the January insurrection at the U.S. Capitol Building. The same day, his father, a Windermere police officer also wanted for allegedly participating in the Jan. 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol, resigned from the police department ahead of his arrest. Nathaniel A. Tuck, a former Apopka police officer, and his father, Kevin A. Tuck, a former officer with the Windermere Police Department, are both facing multiple federal charges, including aiding and abetting, obstructing a law enforcement officer, entering restricted grounds, obstructing an official proceeding, disorderly conduct inside the Capitol building, and parading or picketing inside an official building. Several residents of Central Florida have been arrested
due to their alleged involvement with the riot, though Kevin Tuck is the first active police officer in the region to be charged. A high-school teacher from Brevard County and a Proud Boys organizer from Ormond Beach have both been brought up on charges related to the unrest. As of now, Florida has more individuals charged in connection with the Jan. 6 attack than anywhere else in the nation, and has the most charges connected to far-right extremist groups, like the Oath Keepers and the Proud Boys. The elder Tuck was informed on by Windermere police officers, who contacted the FBI back in January after one of Tuck’s fellow officers expressed concerns, according to local TV station WESH. “We are disheartened by the arrest of Officer Kevin Tuck today by the Federal Bureau of Investigation for charges stemming out of January 6, 2021, at the U.S. Capitol Building. The Windermere Police Department has worked
tirelessly over the past eight years to build a reputation of serving with Honor, Integrity and Service to our residents and this arrest doesn’t reflect on the hard work of the men and women of the Windermere Police Department,” the department shared in a statement to the television station. “It saddens all of us in the law enforcement community to see criminal charges brought forward of any misconduct involving a police officer.” The younger Tuck worked for the Apopka Police Department from 2018 to September 2020, but, according to screengrabs obtained by Orlando Weekly’s sister paper Creative Loafing Tampa, was also affiliated with the extremist group the Proud Boys while he was an active police officer. In posts from the first week of July 2019, taken from the Telegram recruiting channel for the Central Florida “Space Force” chapter of the Proud Boys, Nathaniel Tuck tells recruits that he joined the group after watching hours of antifa videos on YouTube. “Anyone else decide to join after seeing antifa videos online? Lol. I got myself in a rabbit hole on YouTube and watched 6 hours of videos of antifa attacking people,” wrote Tuck. “I was like ‘Fuck this, I’m joining the Proud Boys’ lol.” The chapter’s vice president, Arthur Jackman — who is also facing charges related to Jan. 6, and whose spouse is currently an active officer with the Orange County Sheriff’s Office — responded: “It was a combination of things for me, but seeing Antifa emerge was one part.” Tuck explained that YouTube exposed him to videos of Proud Boy founder Gavin McInnes. “I watched hours of antifa videos which then led me to Gavin videos. He spoke truth, which sparked my interest,” wrote Tuck. In what appears to be Tuck’s Telegram profile, the former police officer states he found the group by “researching online” and says that he joined “because I see an increase in radical leftist ideology that is beginning to effect [sic] my life. I don’t want to stand by while the very foundation of America is being eroded by insane communists. And I also want to fight antifa.” Another Telegram chat shows Tuck accepting an invite to join a meet-up at District Gastrobar in downtown Orlando. The chat also shows a photo of Tuck posing with other Proud Boy members at the restaurant. Creative Loafing reached out to the Apopka Police Department for further comment, but received no response. Tuck’s lawyer was also unavailable for comment. Prosecutors say Nathaniel Tuck attempted to strike an officer with his open hand and his elbow while inside the U.S. Capitol. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jennifer Harrington alleged that both men sent texts to their family about the ongoing riot while they were participating, bragging about being inside the building and fighting cops. “We stormed the Capitol, fought the police,” texted Kevin Tuck to family members. “We took the flag. It’s our flag.” During their court appearance, U.S. Magistrate Judge Embry Kidd agreed to release both men on bond under multiple conditions, including relinquishing their firearms However, Nathaniel Tuck’s wife, who is a Longwood police officer, will be allowed to keep her agency-issued weapons.

‘WILLFUL OBSTRUCTION’ Surprising absolutely no one, police are already selectively enforcing Gov. Ron DeSantis’ pet anti-protest law BY JIM TURN ER, N SF
N
early three months after signing a highly contested law cracking down on violent protests, Gov. Ron DeSantis went all in this week in support of people blocking roads in major Florida cities to show solidarity with an explosion of protests in Cuba. In Orlando, hundreds of protesters blocked part of Semoran Boulevard near Curry Ford Road for about an hour. Police forced them onto the sidewalk, and one person was arrested for unlawful assembly, said the Orlando police public information officer. Cubans are “rebelling against a communist dictatorship,” DeSantis said during a roundtable at the American Museum of the Cuban Diaspora in Miami last Tuesday. The event was partially closed to the media. DeSantis’ support for Cubans and their allies drew questions from reporters about a new law — one of the Republican governor’s top legislative priorities — that creates a host of new crimes and enhances existing penalties related to protests, including a provision prohibiting the “willful obstruction” of streets and highways. At the roundtable, the governor was asked if protesters expressing support for Cubans — specifically, the march on the Palmetto Expressway in Miami-Dade County —should be arrested, under the state’s new anti-riot law. But he said the rallies taking place since the weekend differ from violent protests that broke out throughout the nation following last year’s death of George Floyd,
a Black Minneapolis man who died after a white police officer knelt on his neck for more than nine minutes. The protests about Cuba are “designed to be peaceful,” DeSantis said. “They are trying to end the regime,” he added. “And so that is fundamentally different than what we saw last summer, where people were burning down buildings — and this fortunately wasn’t happening in Florida to any large extent — burning down buildings, looting, breaking windows, targeting law enforcement and all those things. And so I think that people understand the difference between going out and peacefully assembling, which is obviously people’s constitutional right, and attacking other people or burning down buildings or dragging people out of a car and doing that. So, they’re much different situations.” DeSantis’ comments drew harsh criticism from Democrats, including those who opposed the “Combatting Public Disorder Act” the governor signed into law on April 19. The law creates a new felony crime of “aggravated rioting,” prohibits municipalities from impeding law enforcement actions to protect persons and property during a riot or unlawful assembly, and puts restrictions on how a local government can reduce the budget for law enforcement. Black Democrats, who strenuously objected to the measure, which they assert is rooted in racism and evocative of Jim Crow-era laws targeting Black people, were quick to compare the state’s handling of protests in support of the
Cuban people with the governor’s framing of the need for the new law following last year’s protests. “@GovRonDeSantis made blocking roads during a protest illegal, but he’s 100% cool with this because it’s Cuban-Americans protesting communism, not Black people protesting police violence,” tweeted Rep. Omari Hardy, D-West Palm Beach, last Tuesday. “Anti-protest laws are meant to be enforced against Black people only, of course.” State Sen. Shevrin Jones, D-West Park, blasted DeSantis and his allies for “applying a politically-driven double standard when it comes to the right to peacefully protest and exercise free speech.” “The blatant hypocrisy from the governor and republican lawmakers is deeply disturbing and only increases the urgency for the people and leaders at every level to keep confronting the misinformation and injustices needed to build safer, healthier communities for ALL Floridians,” he said in a prepared statement. A coalition of groups, including the Dream Defenders and the Florida State Conference of the NAACP, are challenging the law in court. Senate Democrats last Wednesday said they were pleased the anti-riot law hasn’t been “weaponized” against those protesting on behalf of Cuban people, but asked Attorney General Ashley Moody for guidance on how the law should be applied. “We believe it is critical for every Floridian to be treated equally, and since we’ve seen peaceful protests emerge across various municipalities and local governments — many spilling onto state roadways — it’s critical that elected officials and Floridians alike have clarity from your perspective as Florida’s chief legal officer as it relates to the new statute,” the caucus wrote to Moody last Wednesday. But DeSantis spokeswoman Christina Pushaw lashed out at his critics. “Florida Democrats and media are so mad that the Governor didn’t personally drive down and arrest people for protesting against the communist regime in Cuba. When did liberals become such authoritarians?” she tweeted.

Whistleblower Rebekah Jones plans to run for Rep. Matt Gaetz’s congressional seat, saying ‘moral Republicans’ want to vote for someone with integrity BY AVA LOOMAR
D
ays after former Florida Department of Health GIS manager Rebekah Jones received official whistleblower protection for her lack of discretion about the state’s COVID-19 dashboard, she was suspended from Twitter for platform manipulation and spam. Without her main outlet of 400,000 followers, she turned to Instagram to make a big announcement. “I’m running for Matt Geatz’s seat next year!” she wrote in a now-deleted post. “No more sex traffickers in Congress! Well at least one fewer with Matt Geatz gone (sic).” After a media frenzy, Jones deleted the post. She said she was attempting to point out Gov. Ron DeSantis’ “hypocrisy” in writing a law that allowed political candidates to sue media companies that ban them, while still celebrating her Twitter suspension. At the time, Jones said she believed there would be a good candidate who could “keep this pervert [Gaetz] from writing laws regulating his own sick behavior.” Turns out that person is, in fact, Jones. The bit became reality when she filed on June 25 to run as an independent
candidate in Florida’s First Congressional District. FL-01 is one of the most Republican districts in the state, and in the past three elections, has voted for Rep. Matt Gaetz with higher than 30 percent margins. An independent has never won the congressional seat in the district, and a Democrat has not won in this millennium, but Jones hopes Gaetz’s sex trafficking allegations and her personal sacrifices will help sway voters. As an independent candidate, Jones will be competing against members from both parties. Despite the challenges this poses, she says she feels that running as an independent will allow her more flexibility to address her constituents’ needs. Though she leans Democrat, she says she tends to disagree with her progressive friends on certain policy issues. “I think the terms ‘democrat’ and ‘republican’ are toxic to too many people these days,” she wrote in an email interview with Orlando Weekly. “Issues impacting our dayto-day lives don’t care what letter is next to your name.” On her campaign website, Jones lists eight issues on her platform: protecting Florida’s environmental systems,
promoting government transparency, fighting for media accountability in disinformation, giving access to representatives, ensuring the district’s veterans are taken care of, scrutinizing restrictive voting laws, funding science and research, and boosting support for all levels of education. Jones says there’s still room to add other issues on her platform after she talks to more residents. For example, she thinks human trafficking remains a major issue in the state, and it’s something Jones has a personal connection to. When she was young, she says, she discovered her grandfather had been trafficking a young girl. She called the FBI and says her grandfather went to jail in the Philippines. “Trafficking is as black and white an issue as it gets,” she says. “We need to do more to stop it. That won’t happen with a man accused of repeatedly doing it as our rep.” Gaetz seems unconcerned with Jones’ entrance into the race. Before Jones’ official filing, Gaetz tweeted, “Looks like I’m running against Florida’s Fauci…” Gaetz has previously said that Dr. Anthony Fauci, the national infectious disease expert, has “blood on his hands” for involving himself in the type of research that “erupted this virus into the world.” (Neither Gaetz nor his staff have responded to calls to his office for comment.) Jones has been at the center of political COVID-19 turmoil for more than a year. In May of 2020, she was fired from her role in the state Department of Health for “insubordination.” She claimed the FDOH, guided by DeSantis, asked her to manipulate data to show the state was ready for reopening. For months, Jones and her opponents battled online. The administration highlighted Jones’ sometimes unsavory past, and trolls began to bog down her notifications. In December, law enforcement raided Jones’ home, searching for evidence that she sent an unauthorized message through an FDOH service. After finding evidence on her computers, Jones was charged with a third-degree felony offense. She and her family moved to Maryland in January because she said she feared for her safety. The raid, she thought, was an intimidation tactic. After a year of investigation into Jones’ whistleblower claims, the Florida Inspector General decided Jones qualified for whistleblower protection. Six days later, her Twitter presence was effectively silenced. While she created a new account for her campaign, it was suspended within a day of its creation. Gaetz had already raised over $1.8 million for his campaign by the end of March, spending about $1.3 million of that total. Jones admits that she has a long way to catch up to combat Gaetz’s “ridiculous pile of money.” Considering the communication setback, she says the key to reaching voters is to have a dialogue. On her website, anyone can book a one-on-one appointment to speak to her. She thinks that “moral Republican men and women” want someone with integrity to vote for who isn’t a Democrat. And despite the “failed smear campaigns by people like DeSantis,” she says she hopes voters won’t forget that she “risked my career, freedom and safety for the people of Florida.”

MISINFORMATION NATION
The White House is pressuring Facebook to crack down on vaccine misinformation. That’s a bad precedent BY JE FFREY C. BIL L M A N
Though Voltaire never said, “I disap-
prove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it” — the quote originated with a 20thcentury historian summarizing the 18th-century French philosopher’s beliefs — the sentiment behind the maxim has always been a bedrock upon which liberal democracy stands. Absent the right to propagate viewpoints the majority disdains without fear of reprisal, our constitutional artifice crumbles. In that sense, it was unnerving to see Biden administration officials pressuring social media platforms to ban accounts they say spread misinformation about COVID-19, and for the president of the United States to accuse those platforms of “killing people.” The backlash came swiftly. “It’s been clear for some time that the tech giants look to government to determine what coronavirus-related speech to allow,” the Wall Street Journal’s conservative editorial board opined. “Most people would agree that it’s not an abuse of Facebook’s authority to suppress, say, fraudulent medical advice that goes viral. Yet as the acute crisis phase of coronavirus passes, a government arrangement with private firms to control speech about the pandemic looks less salutary.” The right-wing outrage directed at Silicon Valley is usually performance art. Donald Trump’s class-action lawsuits against Facebook, Twitter and YouTube will fail for the same reason Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ law fining social media companies that suspend politicians was
immediately blocked: The First Amendment protects us from government censorship. It doesn’t grant us free, unrestricted access to every platform on Earth. But here, you can see a slippery slope forming: One administration curtailing dangerous misinformation opens the door for the next to trample dissent. Once a precedent is set, it’s more likely to expand than contract. The more social media companies cooperate with the government, the more their cooperation becomes an expectation. Let’s not kid ourselves, though. With the hyper-transmissible Delta variant proliferating, we’re on the precipice of yet another COVID-19 wave, this one almost exclusively confined to the one-third of the population that refuses to be vaccinated, most of whom are conservatives. The White House believes we’ve hit a vaccine wall due to misinformation circulating on social media. Last Thursday, in his first formal health advisory, Surgeon General Vivek Murthy called this misinformation “an urgent threat to public health.” Press secretary Jen Psaki said Facebook “needs to move more quickly to remove violative posts.” She referenced a March report by the nonprofit Center for Countering Digital Hate on “The Disinformation Dozen,” 12 quacks and charlatans it says account for 65% of the vaccine-related hokum on social media: Bill Gates is microchipping your body, the vaccine makes you infertile, etc. The CCDH made serious claims, including that platforms failed to act on 95% of the reports of COVID and vaccine misinformation they received. It called for social
media outlets to delete all accounts associated with those 12 people. As of last week, the group said that 35 accounts linked to them had been shut down since March, but 62 accounts, with 8.4 million followers, remained. If I were a cynical person, I’d note that conspiracies generate the kind of engagement that social media corporations turn into billion-dollar profits. Facebook’s reported refusal to share information with the White House about the volume of vaccine misinformation — and its dismissal of data from its own content-tracking tool, CrowdTangle, as inaccurate, according to the New York Times — would only fuel my suspicion. But since I’m trying to be less cynical, I’ll simply point out that Facebook says it has removed 18 million pieces of COVID misinformation and “connected more than 2 billion people to reliable information about COVID-19 and COVID vaccines.” A Facebook official told NBC News the White House was “looking for scapegoats for missing their vaccine goals.” Perhaps. They might also be looking in the wrong place. That’s not to let Mark Zuckerberg off the hook. Misinformation reduces vaccine uptake, which makes it more likely that people will die of COVID. But as political scientist Brendan Nyhan points out, the “effect of exposure to dubious anti-vaccine claims on Facebook is likely to be smaller than critics assume both in terms of reach and effects.” Vaccine skepticism long predates COVID, of course. By pointing the finger at social media, we might be mistaking symptom for cause, Nyhan argues. Indeed, studies show that vaccine-skeptical content accounts for only 7.5% of vaccine-related pageviews, and most of those pages were intentionally sought out by skeptics. The real culprits are the Republican officials and Fox News personalities who, through their words and actions, have told their less-educated viewers or constituents that COVID isn’t as big a problem as the government’s efforts to contain it: Vaccine outreach means forced vaccinations and gun confiscation. The pandemic is really about social control. Here’s some campaign merch so we can make fun of masks together. They’re the ones driving the anti-vax bus. The crackpot Facebook pages are problematic, but they’re more along for the ride. None of this matters from the vantage point of the quasiVoltaire maxim — not that the alleged misinformation is, in fact, misinformation, nor that the misinformation is leading people to avoid a vaccine that will save their lives. If we want to preserve dissent, there’s no corollary that exempts the very stupid. The Biden administration’s hardball tactics, even if wellintentioned, walk up to a line the government shouldn’t cross. But that doesn’t absolve private-sector actors of responsibility. Not just Big Tech, and not just Fox News, but also the cable providers that bundle Fox News and businesses that purchase ads on social media platforms. And consumers. Our choices about whom we patronize are part and parcel of free speech. It’s an imperfect solution, and public health will suffer. But if we allow the government to be the arbiter of misinformation and expect private companies to follow its dictates, there’s no going back.

#FreeBritney Party
Neon Beach Friday, July 16
O
ops … they did it again! From Le Petite Fete, the party monsters who brought you the Taylor Swift Dance Party, came the oh-so-aptly timed #FreeBritney Party, which took over downtown Orlando’s Neon Beach bar. Attendees were encouraged to cosplay their favorite era of the beloved pop singer and former Mickey Mouse Clubber, and wow did they ever. See more highlights of the night at orlandoweekly.com.

For years, Universal has been known for high-tech screenbased rides and Disney for physical sets and animatronics, but that conventional wisdom seems to be kaput Last week, while I was away in
Anaheim attending the run-up to Disneyland’s 66th birthday, Disney Parks chairman Josh D’Amaro dropped a bombshell on California’s themed entertainment industry by announcing the relocation of 2,000 employees — including most of the famed Imagineers — to Orlando’s Lake Nona. The implications of this move will reverberate in attraction designs for decades to come, but I don’t want to let this news overshadow another recent seismic shift I observed in my West Coast visit. For years, Universal has been known for high-tech screen-based rides, while Disney was the domain of physical sets and animatronics; but as the SoCal park’s big 2021 additions prove, that old conventional wisdom seems to be kaput. Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure made its yeardelayed debut on June 4, offering Disneyland visitors the chance to walk into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In many ways, the new expansion feels like Disney’s response to criticisms levied against Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge, whose commitment to its fictional canon barred beloved characters and background music out of the land. Here, you’ll hear the 8-bar Avengers theme on an incessant loop while watching Natasha “Black Widow” Romanoff team up with Steve “Captain America” Rogers to take on the Taskmaster, despite the fact that she’s dead and he’s 120 in the current continuity. At Avengers Campus, aspiring heroes can also participate a surprisingly emotional warrior training session with Wakanda’s shorn-skulled Dora Milaje or enjoy some birthday-party magic from a Benedict Cumberbatch clone in Dr. Strange’s Sanctum Sanctorum, all while munching mega-sized snacks from Ant-Man’s test kitchen.

‘SECRET LIFE OF PETS: OFF THE LEASH’ AT UNIVERSAL STUDIOS HOLLYWOOD | PHOTO BY SETH KUBERSKY
the only things you won’t find are a scrap of shade (apparently Avengers aren’t affected by sunstroke) or the Marvel name, since Universal Islands of Adventure retains those exclusive rights. The new land’s biggest “wow” moment comes during the periodic launching of their prototype Spider-Man stunt double. Designed in part by the late Grant Imahara of MythBusters, the amazing animatronic brings pedestrian traffic in the area to a halt whenever propelled through the air above the new Web Slingers attraction. That brief ballyhoo might just be better than the ride below it, which follows in the footsteps of Universal Orlando’s award-winning 22-year old Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man. Truth be told, Disney’s 3-D videogame starring Tom Holland’s take on Peter Parker is a lot more fun to play in person than it looks on YouTube, providing an energizing physical workout as you fling about your forearms to sling virtual webs at scurrying spider-bots. (Pro tip: Aim for red and gold targets in the rear corners, and don’t bother making Spidey’s split-finger hand gestures; just keep karate-chopping like crazy.) Although it’s a blast competing against friends and family for first place (and my non-gamer wife repeatedly kicked my butt), I’m ultimately disappointed. It’s too bad that Disneyland’s first original Marvel attraction ended up only being a D-Ticket Toy Story Midway Mania, with sharper graphics and upgraded versions of the Triotech handtracking sensors from Legoland’s Ninjago ride. Other than Spidey himself, no other recognizable Marvel characters participate in the adventure, and although there’s a nice holographic preshow similar to Universal’s Harry Potter rides, there’s nary an animatronic inside the building. Worst of all, a mandatory Virtual Line system (identical to the one used for Rise of the Resistance) plus hour-plus queues means you’ll be lucky to ride once per day, making the $30-and-up score-improving toys they sell even more absurd. On the other hand, nearly all the weak-
nesses in Web Slingers turned out to be strengths of The Secret Life of Pets: Off the Leash, which opened at Universal Studios Hollywood earlier this spring. Though not quite on the same scope and scale as the Haunted Mansion or Pirates of the Caribbean, SLoP has almost as much charm and imaginative detail as those alltime Disney classics, and is easily the best family-friendly dark ride Universal has built since the E.T. Adventure. Even if you’re unfamiliar with Max the Jack Russell (Patton Oswalt, replacing Louie C.K. for obvious reasons), Snowball the bunny rabbit (Kevin Hart), and the rest of Illumination Entertainment’s adorable domestic animals, you’ll enjoy touring their detailed New York brownstone apartments — filled with multiple aww-inspiring animatronics — before embarking on a gentle journey to your own “adoption.” The fourminute crawl through sight-gag stuffed sets, enhanced with explosive projection mapping effects and populated by dozens of huggable animated figures, put a big silly smile on my face from start to finish and rewards repeat rides. Happily, Universal’s version of Virtual Queue doesn’t require you to smash your smartphone exactly at 7 a.m., and I waited less than 40 minutes in the entertaining queue. My only gripe is that unnecessarily restrictive seat restraints and too-short boarding walkways make it unfriendly for infants, larger folks and the disabled. SloP is joined this summer at Universal Hollywood by the completed Jurassic World water ride, which finally received a showstopping new finale featuring an enormous animatronic Indominus Rex that could eat Expedition Everest’s Yeti for lunch. Illumination has already been named as an anchor IP for Orlando’s upcoming Epic Universe park. Designers have downplayed talk of retheming IOA’s aging Jurassic Park River Adventure, but after riding both in California, I’m impatient for them to come east. I say rip out Shrek 4-D to slap down SloP, and pluck out Jurassic Park for more Pratt. skubersky@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

Moroccan quick-serve Tajine Xpress brings the flavors of North Africa to East Orlando BY FAIYAZ KARA
I
t seems like we have a love/hate relationship with Moroccan restaurants in this city, and I’m not sure why. No sooner did homey joints like Kabbab House and Kasbah Grill, or lavish eateries like Pasha Taverna and Casablanca Grill & Lounge, blow in with the bluster of a sirocco than they’d flutter into closure just a few months later. There were others — Chez Achraf, Couscous Moroccan Restaurant, Atlas Express — all decent, all gone with the wind. Oh sure, there’s Spice Road Table and Restaurant Marrakesh but, c’mon, Epcot restaurants don’t really count as local. No, only Moroccan Breeze inside Apna Bazaar on South OBT (it’s run by Habiba Bimekliouen, who spent seven years at Restaurant Marrakesh) and Merguez on I-Drive have consistently kept those clay vessels fired with the stewy goods of the Barbary Coast. But now, with the opening of Tajine Xpress in East Orlando, we could be entering yet another honeymoon phase with Moroccan restaurants. Tajine Xpress has visual allure, with its room of blue stucco and desert-brown walls. Mosaic lamps, lanterns and geometric dinnerware heighten the aesthetics, so it’s a shame the restaurant opted for plastic utensils. Then again, Tajine Xpress techni-
cally falls under the “fast casual” category — patrons order at the counter and food is brought out by some very friendly staff. But smiles and pleasant dispositions won’t season the harira ($3.98), a tomato-based soup with beef, chickpeas, lentils and vermicelli, the way a dash (or five) of salt and a liberal squeeze of lemon could. It helped the loubia ($3.98), a white bean stew, as well, though neither were a match for the beautifully roasted eggplants and tomatoes in the garlicky, smoky zalouk ($3.98). This stellar starter was scooped up with soft rounds of house-baked Moroccan bread. Admittedly, my mind was focused on the chicken tajine ($11.98) from the moment we entered. On my first visit to Tajine Xpress a few months back, I saw a family breaking fast with the dish during Ramadan, and that lemony stew dotted with green olives just looked so incredibly gratifying. I ended up taking home a tajine of sesame-flecked beef, prunes, onions
BY FAIYAZ KARA OPENINGS + CLOSINGS
and almonds ($11.98) that night as they’d run out of the chicken, but not this time. We indulged with great abandon and agreed the chicken would be added to our regular rotation of eats. Same goes for the fatty — melt-in-yourmouth fatty — curry goat tajine ($12.98) sweetened with raisins. Both came with rice (couscous is served only on weekends), but the rice was happily sacrificed in favor of more worthy gut-busters like bastilla ($12.98), the sweet and savory phyllo dough pastry stuffed with seasoned chicken, dusted with powdered sugar and served with a side of honey. Moroccan fare is big on fusing the sweet with the meaty, and no dish does it better than flaky bastilla. Then there’s briwat ($8.98), a thick, flaky triangular pastry packed with seasoned beef à la keema samosa. The dip in this case was a fiery harissa that we had to get more of to dunk morsels of chicken, shrimp and kefta served in the kebab trio ($14.98). It’s all heart-warming stuff, made warmer by sips of Moroccan mint tea ($2.99) poured from a handmade teapot. For a fast-casual restaurant, the mood here is certainly relaxed and quite conducive to lingering. It may be called Tajine Xpress, but a meal here just isn’t one to be rushed. fkara@orlandoweekly.com

THE BRIDGE
The Bridge brands itself as “A New York Restaurant,” but sift through the unfocused, and pricey, menu and you’ll find gems with Turkish roots, like the “Bridge Special,” a kebab platter of gorgeous lamb chops, mini beef sausages and brochettes of seasoned filet mignon and chicken served over lavash and served with bulgur and seasonal vegetables. There’s also the “Brooklyn Shepherd,” a salad of cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, parsley, feta, grape leaves and unpitted Manzanilla olives. Yes, the burgers are all fine and well (there’s even one layered with 24k gold leaf), but the Bridge should really embrace its Turkish roots. Open daily. (reviewed July 7) 155 E.

KOMBU SUSHI RAMEN
In a less-glamorous, half-forgotten strip of Winter Park, Kombu Sushi Ramen maintains a fittingly low profile, serving a so-so mix of sushi, ramen and donburi. Kombu likely won’t be mentioned among the city’s elite sushi or ramen spots, but it’s bringing a foodie-fave cuisine to a neglected sector, and as local tastes are elevated, the kitchen may rise to meet them.

FINANCIER BISTRO & BAR The French patisserie-cum-bistro in Winter Park serves bistro classics as elegant as the restaurant itself, be it a properly Gruyère’d and bechamel’d croque-monsieur or a gorgeous ratatouille with arugula pistou. The pistou also makes an appearance in the burrata with heirloom cherry tomatoes. While perfectly roasted and crisp-skinned, the poulet rôti is a bit pricey. So is the burger with caramelized onions, barbecue-like house sauce and melted Gruyère running down the sides, but it’s a beaut.

First Watch has a fresh new look, vibe and approach to daytime dining.

THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN Drummer Gavin Harrison talks about hitting the road with prog rock legends King Crimson once more BY KYLE EAGLE AND MATTHEW MOYER
S
oon, Orlando will be in the “Court of the Crimson King” once again — or will it be the other way around, and we’ll be courting King Crimson? — when they headline the Frontyard Festival this week. Led by ever-idiosyncratic guitarist and sole remaining founding member Robert Fripp, these legends of prog rock should find a very enthusiastic audience here in the City Beautiful. There’s history here; a heavy 1972 Orlando set in front of a rabid crowd of freaks and lifers has found its way on to some official live albums over the years. King Crimson is the band that unleashed the beast of what we now know as “progressive rock,” and 50 years on, the band are still pushing forward, never resting on laurels. The branches of King Crimson’s musical family tree are long and esteemed. Hendrix and the Stones loved them. Eddie Van Halen gushed over Fripp’s guitar mastery. The world of electronica may never have happened without Fripp and Brian Eno’s trailblazing excursions into ambient soundscapes. Emerson, Lake and Palmer certainly owe a debt to them, not to mention David Bowie, Blondie, Talking Heads, the Orb, Swans and Peter Gabriel, down through the Mars Volta, Phish and Opeth. Percussionist Gavin Harrison (Pineapple Thief, Porcupine Tree) plays in the current lineup of the ever-morphing band as one of a triumvirate (!) of percussionists in the sevenstrong ensemble. Harrison, one of the younger players in KC, has been with the band for eight years, after bonding with Fripp when the guitarist opened for Porcupine Tree on tour. “He got to see about 50 Porcupine Tree sets,” remembers Harrison. “And I think we just clicked.”
Harrison talked to Orlando Weekly by phone while deep in tour rehearsals at an undisclosed Tampa location. How have the rehearsals been going so far this week? We’ve all been trying to prepare the material at home, playing on our own, but it’s never the same as playing with the other musicians. You can practice alone to a recording as many times as you want, but it’s never the same as playing it with the band. This might be our third or fourth day of rehearsals, and everything’s coming back slowly. We haven’t played for nearly two years. It jogs the memory, let’s say. Was it a nice moment to sort of see everyone in person? No, I hate them all. [chuckles] That’s the weird thing, I think, about being at home for 18 months: You miss the social interaction … but now we’re on day three or four, and it feels like we’ve all just gone back to where we were socially and musically before. I don’t think we’ve played every single song yet, but the songs are getting better and better the more we play them. Would you be able to preview any of the setlist? I don’t know if I can do that, but certainly there’s a good range of material going right back to the first album. And right up to the 2000s albums, and everything in between. There’s a pretty big range of songs to pull from. We’re probably going to work on about 36-37 songs. Although of course we won’t play them all at every concert, we’ve got lots of
Orlando shows have made their way onto King Crimson live albums, both with Earthbound and the King Crimson Collectors’ Club CD, Live in Orlando … are you bringing any recording gear along for this show? Oh, we record everything. Everything’s recorded every night. Every soundcheck, every rehearsal and usually there’s a whole set of cameras filming 4K video as well. Robert likes to have a good archive of stuff, and although it might not appear attractive immediately, a few years down the road, you start thinking, well, wouldn’t it be amazing if there was high definition recording and video of that show from whenever, years and years and years ago? Suddenly it becomes very, very valuable. No one at the end of this tour is going to want to listen to or watch any of this immediately, but five or 10 years from now, you’ll think, “That was amazing!” And I think, quite possibly, this will be the last time the band is coming around the States. So I would say, if anyone’s interested in coming, you should come and see this one. I read an interview where you were talking about how you’re interested in finding creative musical partnerships that push you. Do you feel that challenge with King Crimson? King Crimson is a very interesting musical group in that there has always has been room to try anything. King Crimson is not commercial, it’s not pop. So no one’s trying to dance through the songs. You can do some pretty interesting things, or even change your mind and play something different. It’s been a very interesting challenge in the last eight years. Does the future of the band seem more uncertain now, with everything that’s happened in the last year? The older you get, the more you think, “How many more years can I get on a tour bus and do this?” I think once you get over 50 years old, you realize that you’re a long way past the halfway point in life. And I think your perspective on life changes. You’re trying to pace yourself and prioritizing things that matter to you, rather than just doing anything that gets offered. And I think you start to look more philosophically at life and the things you want to do and the things you don’t want to do and try to steer your direction a bit more. I don’t feel uncertain about my future. But as I said, I don’t know how much longer King Crimson will keep going. Will this year be the last year? I just don’t know.

BY B AO L E - H U U VEGAS CHOIR BOYS | PHOTO BY AIMEE LECOURS
LOCAL RELEASES The new release by Vegas Choir Boys is actually a blast from the past, with perhaps more history than activity. VCB were an Orlando band that was on the scene in the early 2000s. Even if you don’t remember them, you’ll likely be familiar with the members’ subsequent pursuits. Guitarist and vocalist Bob Hershberger formed Bob on Blonde with drummer Waylon Thornton and built a strong recording name with his Five Spot Records. Thornton became one of the scene’s most visible drummers of the 2000s in bands like Mumpsy, Vox Palma and Danny Feedback. And lead singer Aaron Wright is best known as the last and longtime owner of hallowed downtown club Backbooth. Well, the only recorded legacy VCB left behind was a lone self-titled EP that only made the rounds on some home-burnt CDrs. But apparently, though they liked the actual songs, the bandmates were never quite happy with the recordings. Fast-forward about a decade to a fateful weekend in 2015 when drummer Thornton and bassist Ryan Cox were individually back in Orlando to visit. Hershberger seized the opportunity and brought them in to begin re-recording the songs. Then the current of life pulled again — until the pandemic ground everything to a halt in 2020. That’s when Hershberger revisited the project, finally laying down his guitar tracks and bringing singer Wright in to record. Now, about 15 years later, Hershberger says they finally, retrospectively, have a record that they’re proud of. I don’t know what the original recordings sounded like, but the new EP is one for the books.
After 15 years, the Vegas Choir Boys finally, retrospectively released a record they’re proud of, and it’s a vivid bottling of the band’s blend of alternative rock power and pop savvy Vegas Choir Boys is five anthems of melody and brawn, a vivid bottling of the band’s blend of alternative rock power and pop savvy. It’s now freshly released on all platforms. Both as Formaldehydra and as the incumbent curator of the annual Orlando pre-International Noise Conference shows, Lakeland’s Dylan Houser is a key pillar of the Central Florida noise scene. But his latest release under his own name isn’t just released by Illuminated Paths, it’s totally dialed in to the label’s famous vaporwave frequency. The album boasts seven tracks of nostalgic atmosphere that feels like Dirty Beaches filtered through a warped Florida lens. It’s available digitally and on cassette on IP’s Bandcamp.
MUSIC EVENTS THIS WEEK Todd Terry: Few have furthered house music as much as this American icon. He defined the genre in its early underground years in the 1980s, and then pushed it into the mainstream stratosphere. Oh, the version of Everything but the Girl’s blockbuster “Missing” that topped all the international charts in the 1990s? That’s Terry’s signature remix, not the band’s
original album version. The legend himself will be doing an intimate club set at Barbarella’s Discothèque. Opening will be DJs Flashdrive, Mr. Mogembo and ToddLove. (9 p.m. Friday, July 23, Barbarella, $20-$25) Now vs. Now and TWYN: This intriguing bill features two groups working the less-traveled frontier between jazz and electronic music. New York’s Now vs. Now is the credentialed combo of leader Jason Lindner (keyboardist on David Bowie’s final album, Blackstar), cofounding bassist Panagiotis Andreou and drummer Justin Tyson (Herbie Hancock, Robert Glasper, Esperanza Spalding, Mos Def ). Miami duo TWYN are Electric Kif keyboardist Jason Matthews and Lemon City Trio drummer Aaron Glueckauf, both jazz-trained players with visions beyond. Expect a genre-bending evening where electronic futurism meets the live pulse and intelligence of jazz. (8 p.m. Saturday, July 24, the New Standard, free) The Red Elvises, Jenny Parrott and Big Jef Special: Venerated Orlando live tradition Southern Fried Sunday is back with another production packed with some beloved out-of-towners. L.A.’s Red Elvises have been a reliable spectacle of kitschy fun for decades, and Austin’s Jenny Parrott has made a name here over the years in quality bands like Shotgun Party, Loves It and now with her soulful solo material, which she debuted here in 2019. Locals Big Jef Special round out the bill. The event’s also the birthday celebration for SFS founder Jessica Pawli, so buy her a dang drink. (5:30 p.m. Sunday, July 25, Will’s Pub, $10-$12) baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

Re:Charge
Creative City Project and Timucua Arts Foundation are bringing back their innovative Re:Charge collaboration to give you a tuneful and mindful time-out from daily stressors. Re:Charge allows attendees to unplug from their day-to-day while orchestral musicians play ambient

And because Creative City Project is a partner in this, the space — while intentionally minimal — will be augmented by subtle bits of aesthetic flair (prop clouds!) to create the necessary dreamlike effect. The ticket purchase buys you a reserved floor space, but you’ll need to bring your own pillow, yoga mat or blanket. Various times, Colonial Promenade, 4644 E.

ORLANDO WEEKLY ● JULY 21-27, 2021 ● orlandoweekly.com
“IN THE STRAIGHTS” My wife got drunk at a vacation house we rented with a bunch of friends and cheated on me with my best friend in the hot tub. They didn’t have sex but they did other things. I wasn’t there, but there were eight other people in the hot tub and the jets were on, so no one else saw what was going on “under the water.” My wife told me about it afterward and I was hurt but also kind of excited. She proposed we “even the score” by asking my friend and his wife to have a foursome. They agreed but the experience was miserable. My wife and my friend were very into each other and my friend’s wife was willing, but I was having a hard time enjoying myself with a woman I had no interest in while my wife did things for my best friend that she would never do for me. She let him come in her mouth, which is something she never lets me do, and she did it right in front of me. Now she says she will do that for me but only if she can keep doing it for him. This seems deeply unfair. We have kids and I don’t want to get divorced, but I’m concerned that I’m going to keep getting hurt if I stay. What can I do? I need … Help Overcoming Terrible Worries About This Entire Relationship Hmm. I’m not convinced events went down as described, HOTWATER, or that your wife went down as described — hell, I’m not convinced your wife exists. There are just too many “unwilling cuckold fantasy” tropes in your letter, HOTWATER, from your wife cheating on you in the most humiliating way possible (with your best friend and in front of other friends), to your wife doing things for another man that she won’t do for you (and doing those things in front of you), to the sexual blackmail your wife is now subjecting you to (she’ll allow you to come in her mouth on the condition that your best friend gets to keep coming in her mouth). And the presence of an inert-borderingon-houseplant best friend (did he have nothing to say to you?) with the equally inert wife (did she have no reaction to being rejected by you?) don’t make your question seem any more credible. But on the off, off, off chance there is a wife, there was a vacation house and something happened in a hot tub … if you can’t make a credible threat of divorce, HOTWATER, then you’re fucked. Your wife wants to dictate terms and set conditions — conditions like you’ll only get X from her (X = coming in her mouth) if she gets to do X with someone else — and if her behavior at that vacation house is any indication, HOTWATER, she’s going to X around with other guys whether you like it not. You can tell her she’s not allowed to do anything like that ever again — you can insist on strict monogamy — but having seen what she’s capable of, under and over the water, will you ever feel comfortable letting your wife out of your sight again? Will you ever be able to leave her alone with your best friend Groot again? If the thought of your wife cheating turned you on, HOTWATER, you might be able to make this work. And perhaps it does turn you on. You said you were excited when your wife first confessed what she’d done in that hot tub with your best friend, but things went south during the
foursome you had to “even the score.” Maybe you don’t want the score to be even? If the thought of a “deeply unfair” one-sided open relationship turns you on — if the thought of getting to come in your wife’s mouth, say, one time for every 10 times your best friend gets to come in her mouth — then you should think about sharing that information with your wife. It could be the start of something big — it could be the start of an invigorating sexual adventure — or it could be the beginning of the end. But seeing as the end seems inevitable anyway … why not go down swinging? I spent two years with a man I thought I would marry. Then he lost his job in Italy, where we lived, and COVID-19 made it impossible for him to find another job, so he returned to his home country. I would have done the same if I were in his place. I spent the last five years getting my degree and I’m a woman who is working in my field, and I wouldn’t give that up to follow a man to another country. But his decision to go nevertheless broke my heart. Two months later he changed his mind and wants a future with me in Italy. We decided to meet in August to discuss our future and in the last three weeks we have exchanged so many messages of love. Then, classically, I met someone else. I explained my situation to him — that I’m going on holiday with my ex and that we are talking about getting back together — and he appreciated my honesty and said that enjoying the moment is more important to him than thinking about the future. A week later we slept together. The problem is that I’m still in love with my ex and I want him to return to Italy and be my boyfriend again. But I can’t erase my feelings for this new man. This is a difficult situation and it’s hard to talk about it, even with my friends. Do you have any suggestions? Messy Emotions, Sensitive Situation
You and your ex-boyfriend are still exes, which means you’re free to do whatever/whoever you like. Same for your ex, MESS, and for all you know he has dated and/or fucked another girl or girls and those experiences helped him realize you were the one he wanted. If he’s the one you want — and if you, like most people, are only allowed to have one — then you’ll have to end things with Mr. Enjoying The Moment when your ex returns or isn’t your ex anymore, MESS, whichever comes first. That’s assuming Mr. Moment is still in your life at that point. Mr. Moment could wind up exiting your life just as quickly as he entered it, e.g., he could ghost on you tomorrow, or you could discover something about him next week that dries you up. But even if you ultimately have to end things with Mr. Moment because you’re getting back together with your ex — if you have to end things with Mr. Moment for that reason and no other — you don’t have to erase your feelings. You can be sad about that ending and happy about picking things back up with your ex at the same time. And just a little heads up: “Have you been seeing anyone else?” is a question exes often ask each other when they’re thinking about getting back together. You can and should
answer that question truthfully, of course, but you don’t have to go into detail. “I briefly dated someone” is an honest answer and enough of an answer. Omitting the part about how you crushed hard on the other guy isn’t dishonest, MESS, it’s considerate. I mean, if it turns out your ex dated someone else that he really, really liked while he was in his home country, would you want him to tell you that? I’m a straight, cis man in my late 20s and recently met a hot kinky woman my age on a kink/hookup app. We’ve had two meals together and six awesome fucks, all at my place. We’re on the same page about this being casual. She’s never mentioned anything about being married but I’m pretty sure she’s either married or recently separated. Instagram and Facebook make it clear that until at least two months ago there was a husband in her life. I don’t care if she’s single or married or separated, but I wonder if I should mention to her that I’m aware her life is a little more complicated than she’s let on. If there’s a chance she’s stressing about the (possible) deception, I could save her the stress. Do I tell her what I know? Knowing Me, Knowing You
That hot kinky woman could be cheating on her husband or recently divorced or recently widowed. Whatever’s going on, KMKY, she’s had lots of opportunities to open up to you about her life — six amazingly awesome fucks, two hopefully delicious meals — and she’s chosen not to. Sharing details about your life might inspire her to open up about hers, KMKY, but telling her you’ve been lurking on her social media — particularly if she didn’t share her handles with you — could piss her off. That said, I don’t blame you for checking out her Instagram or Facebook accounts. It’s natural to be curious about the people you’re fucking. And it’s weird when people post things to public social media accounts and then get upset when someone they’re fucking — technically a member of the public — sees those posts. But the willingness of a new sex partner to demonstrate that they respect our privacy, maybe even a little more than we respect our own, can go a long way toward establishing trust. And not bringing up what you may have seen on the social media accounts of someone you’ve only recently met or started fucking demonstrates tact. And finally, KMKY, kink might have something to do with why this woman hasn’t opened up to you about other parts of her life. Some kinky people prefer play partners who don’t know the mundane details of their everyday lives — for some, being known only as a Dom or a sub or an AB or an LG or a no recip oral cum dump latex gimp makes it easier to step into their fantasy role. If that’s the case with this woman, KMKY, knowing you know what you know about her — and learning how you came to know it — might wind up disqualifying you as a friend and ruining you as a play partner.
