Nicholas Sarwark, chair of the Libertarian National Committee

#DumpClump Amid the turbulent 2016 elections, Libertarians see a bright spot at national convention in Orlando

BY MON IVETT E COR D EI R O

T

he Libertarian Party descended upon Orlando’s tourism district Friday singing a pretty optimistic tune as delegates set out to pick a presidential candidate to run against the Democratic and Republican nominees in November.

What’s the joy in running a third-party candidate in a two-party system? Well, there’s not much, but the mud-slinging and downright nastiness of the 2016 election has made some people look for an alternative.

The party of small government and increased freedom says their dues-paying membership grew by 30 percent from January to May of this year, with 411,250 members registered as of February.

National polls from Monmouth University Polling Institute and Fox News showed the leading Libertarian candidate, former Republican governor of New Mexico Gary Johnson, polling at 11 percent and 10 percent respectively against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and billionaire Donald Trump.

Several times, speakers at the convention mentioned the increased media attention the party has gotten in the past several days, and on Twitter, the party’s account said, “Fellow Libertarians, we are at the center of the political universe #LegalizeFreedom.”

“We have an impressive lineup of Libertarian candidates running across the country, from local office to president,”

says Nicholas Sarwark, the Libertarian National Committee chair, in a statement.

“The major parties offer Americans more government. Libertarians advocate for much less government, the key to real, sustainable job creation; personal freedom; and a peaceful, non-interventionist foreign policy.”

Several candidates, including Austin Petersen and John McAfee, are challenging Johnson, who was also the party’s 2012 nominee.

At the Rosen Centre Hotel last Friday, the party’s 985 delegates trickled in slowly as party leaders hotly debated convention bylaws and rules of order. California delegate Jacque Donahue says she definitely sees this election as a shining moment for Libertarians, as people are being turned off by Trump’s bombastic talking points and Clinton’s closeness with the corporate world.

Starchild, a delegate from California, came wearing only underwear, fancy sunglasses and a transparent rain poncho marked with the handwritten words “DEMAND TRANSPARENCY” on the back. Starchild also agrees that the 2016 election is a special moment for Libertarians and people who want to pick their president from more than just two options.

“I tell them it’s time to Dump Clump,” he says. “Dump both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.” mcordeiro@orlandoweekly.com

READY? As summer looms closer, with its rainbred explosion of mosquitoes, Florida may not be prepared to battle the Zika virus they’ll spread.

BY M O NI VET T E CO RD EI RO

wo weeks ago, a desperate plea from a small Central Florida government was entered into the Congressional Record.

“Current staffing levels are not sufficient to meet this emergency,” read the letter from Osceola County Manager Donald Fisher to the state Health Department.

“County resources are exhausted, and funds are not readily available to respond to this disaster. Lives are at stake.”

Osceola County needs close to a million dollars to fight what the World Health Organization called a “global public health emergency” – the Zika virus. U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Florida, read parts of Osceola County’s letter on the Senate floor as he tried to convince his colleagues to vote on a bipartisan proposal co-sponsored by himself and U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Florida, with the backing of the Obama administration, to secure $1.9 billion in funding to contain and eradicate the virus.

Funds are needed both to contain the spread of the striped-legged Aedes aegypti mosquito and to test and treat citizens. orlandoweekly.com

The mosquito-borne virus causes relatively mild symptoms (including fever, headache, red eyes, skin rash and joint pain) that only develop in 20 percent of those infected. The virus, which can be sexually transmitted, has also been linked to Guillain-Barré syndrome, a severe neurological disorder that causes temporary paralysis. But perhaps the most devastating effects of the Zika virus are for infected pregnant women. The virus reportedly causes fetal birth defects such as microcephaly, a condition in which a baby is born with a smaller-than-average head and can suffer associated brain development deficits, and in dire cases, death.

The Senate ultimately did not approve Nelson and Rubio’s proposal, instead counter-proposing a $1.1 billion package.

After much wrangling, the Republicancontrolled House of Representatives agreed to a $622.1 million package, combining $352.1 million from an Ebola fund with $270 million from a Department of CONTINUED ON PAGE 10 ●

Health and Human Services administrative fund and arguing the $589 million in Ebola funds the White House repurposed for Zika would carry the country through September.

“Even though the problem has been steadily getting worse, Congress has refused to treat it with the urgency that I believe it deserves,” Rubio said last week to USA Today. “So I urge the American people to make next week a tough one on those who are home from Congress, who have refused to take meaningful action to confront Zika. They need to hear from you.”

Both chambers still need to agree on a proposal, but in the meantime, Florida is now on the front line of the battle against the virus.

In the three months since Gov. Rick Scott declared a health emergency in counties that had the virus, Florida has developed a Zika hotline and Scott himself traveled to the Capitol to push for federal emergency funds, telling Congress to prepare for Zika with the same urgency you would prepare for a hurricane. As of May 26, Florida has 122 cases of people who caught the virus abroad, which doesn’t include the 36 pregnant women with Zika that the state Health Department is monitoring.

But although Florida is no stranger to defeating outbreaks of mosquito-borne diseases like dengue or chikungunya, it’s coming into this summer’s Zika battle missing a weapon or two, mainly because of the lack of federal and state money. And Florida isn’t alone – experts say the rest of the U.S. is not ready either.

K

elly Deutsch and her employees spend their working hours finding and dumping the most obscure breeding places for the Aedes aegypti mosquito in Orange County.

All it takes is two tablespoons of stagnant water, and anything – a bottle cap, a birdbath, an old tire, a bucket, a pet’s forgotten water dish, a storm drain, even an empty chip bag discarded by the roadside – can become a place for the mosquito to lay its eggs. The larvae hatch in about five days if the weather’s warm. Deutsch, acting manager for the Orange County Mosquito Control Division, says there are roughly 40 species of mosquito in Central Florida, but the Aedes aegypti, responsible for Zika and other mosquito-related illnesses, is one of the most difficult to control.

They like to feed on people. Unlike other mosquitoes, they bite during the daytime, indoors and outdoors. Zika passes to a mosquito when it bites a person infected with the active virus; then the mosquito spreads the virus to the next person it bites, acting as a vector. The Orange County Mosquito Control can spray pesticides to control the mosquitoes, but Deutsch says fogging down a neighborhood is most effective at dusk because the chemical used is broken down by sunlight.

“We can’t spray our way out of this one,” she says. “We need boots on the ground and until we eliminate the source of water where these mosquitoes are coming from, they’re just going to continue to develop. … The best control measure is to get rid of the habitat, and you don’t have to worry about any insecticides at all.”

Unlike poorer areas of Latin America,

Florida enjoys the widespread use of air conditioning and screens, which mostly keeps these mosquitoes out of homes. But Florida, especially Orange County, also enjoys a slew of tourists visiting from all over the world who can bring the virus with them. Central Florida is also getting increased migration from Puerto Rico, a U.S. territory. In the midst of its financial crisis, the island has recorded more than 1,100 cases of Zika, one microcephaly case, seven cases of Guillain-Barré and one death associated with the virus, according to the Associated Press.

Deutsch says she plans to add more temporary staff in the coming weeks.

Going door to door telling residents to turn over any containers of standing water on their properties is not difficult, but it’s time-consuming. With a budget of $2.17 million, Deutsch can reasonably spend more on help in Orange County, but for a mosquito-control program like Osceola’s, with a budget of less than $500,000, extra funds are scarce, says Osceola County Mosquito Control director Terry Torrens.

Torrens says since Scott declared a health emergency in February, her department has been under an inordinate amount of pressure from the public concerned about Zika. Larvicide staff now goes to residential areas, conducting sweeps in response to service calls, which has hampered their ability to eliminate larvae.

Torrens says the state Health Department asked Florida’s mosquito control districts to submit funding requests for items they needed as they wait for federal funds.

Torrens submitted an $889,000 request, asking for, among other things, $100,000 for aerial spraying, $200,000 for temporary staff and $200,000 for spray trucks.

Mara Gambineri, a spokeswoman for the state Department of Health, says many mosquito control districts submitted funding requests to the department’s incident management team.

“The department is currently using existing funds to manage Zika preparedness and response, and we are exploring other funding opportunities,” she says in an email.

Recently, Florida budgeted about $2.66 million to distribute to the control districts through the state Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.

Torrens says as a small program, she gets about $30,000 in additional funds.

“We need to have money in the bank to get our army ready for the summer,” she says. “Funds are supposed to be coming, but we don’t know when. If this were a hurricane or a flood, the resources would already be here. Right now, we’re trying to hold down the fort until the relief forces arrive, which is hopefully sooner rather than later because it’s getting interesting out there.”

Florida has 61 mosquito control programs, with some run by the counties and others run as special taxing districts. The New York Times reported in April that Miami-Dade County spent $1.8 million on its mosquito control program with a population of almost 3 million people, while Lee County spent $16 million and has a population of about 660,000 people.

Ahead of the rest of the state, the Florida Keys Mosquito Control District is trying to get a plan approved by voters and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to allow the use of genetically modified mosquitoes against Zika. Not every county in Florida has a program, and this varied response to mosquito control has led a group of medical experts meeting in Atlanta to say the U.S. is not ready for the Zika virus.

“One of the problems in the United States is that we have a patchwork of mosquito control programs that are generally run at the county level,” Scott Weaver of CONTINUED ON PAGE 13

the University of Texas Medical Branch told NBC News at the beginning of May. “We have nothing at the national level other than advice from the [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] and most states do not even coordinate their programs at the county level very well.

hen a Zika outbreak hit El Salvador, health officials asked the country’s women not to get pregnant until 2018. But they’ll have a hard time following that advice because of that county’s severe abortion restrictions and “a massive unmet need for contraception and sex education,” according to Time magazine.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have not given U.S. women the same advice, but it’s a debate looming in the background. The Zika bill passed by the House Republicans includes Hyde Amendment language, which bans federal funding for abortions, with a few exceptions. In Florida, House Bill 1411, which increases restrictions on abortion clinics, will go into effect July 1.

HB 1411 also blocks Planned Parenthood clinics in the state from receiving nearly $200,000 in Medicaid reimbursement for services like cancer screenings, STD tests and contraception. The federal government has notified the state that it has an obligation to reimburse any willing provider. The situation gets more serious when you combine this law with Florida’s recently blocked 24-hour waiting period and the fact that almost 60 percent of pregnancies in Florida are unintended, according to the Guttmacher Institute.

Laura Goodhue, executive director of the Florida Alliance of Planned Parenthood affiliates, says the organization provides contraception services to about 43,000 patients statewide, including about 3,000 served through Title X and county health programs. The Florida Department of Health offers contraception and family planning services on a sliding-scale fee, and people at or below the poverty line are served for free, according to the department’s website.

“Planned Parenthood has always been there to help patients with high-quality health care,” Goodhue says. “But when the state takes action to discourage people from going to the provider of their choice, that has consequences.”

Then there’s Florida’s health insurance rate. A recent report from the Associated Press found 29 counties, mostly in Central and South Florida, have “uninsured rates of at least 20 percent or higher, according to 2014 data released by the Census Bureau.”

Gambineri, from the state Department of Health, says uninsured people who suspect they have Zika can contact a health provider. “If a person meets testing criteria, the provider will work with the Department of Health to have their specimen tested – regardless of insurance status,” she says in an email. “All people who meet the testing criteria are eligible for a Zika test.”

Gambineri says the department currently has 6,234 tests to test for active Zika virus, and 1,918 tests to test for Zika antibodies, to see if a person has ever been infected with Zika.

In an interview, Nelson says Congress acted irresponsibly by only approving about half the funds requested for the Zika crisis projected to spread through the entire southern U.S. “They’ll get serious when moms in their states start having these babies with these terrible deformities,” he says. “That is such a tragedy for the family and such a huge cost to our society at large, to take care of children that are that badly ill.”

Nelson says the state’s insurance rate and recent HB 1411 restrictions could impact how the virus spreads through poor communities in Florida and Puerto Rico, but he believes the federal courts will strike down the new abortion restrictions. Florida could help 1 million people get health insurance just by choosing to expand Medicaid, which state officials have refused to do, Nelson says.

“The only other thing you can do, other than put on long sleeves and not go outside, which is impossible in our lifestyles, is spend a lot of money on mosquito control,” he says. “That’s what Osceola County’s desperate plea is for. We have 67 counties in Florida. All of them need funding for mosquito control.” mcordeiro@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

CLOAK AND BANNER Lynn Marshall-Linnemeier enshrines the fabric of community in her Yoruba robes, stitching stories into safe remembrance

BY RICHA RD REEP THE JOURNEY PROJECTS: EATONVILLE through July 31 | Zora Neale Hurston National Museum of Fine Arts, 227 E. Kennedy Blvd., Eatonville | 407-647-3188 | zorafestival.org | donation suggested

ART BY LYNN MARSHALL-LINNEMEIER, PHOTO BY VICTOR K. WATKINS

I

n the tiny Zora Neale Hurston Museum of Fine Arts in Eatonville is a poignant and moving exhibit titled The Journey Projects: Eatonville, work created last year

by Atlanta artist Lynn Marshall-Linnemeier.

In Marshall-Linnemeier’s ongoing Journey Projects series, which has traveled to many towns, the personal and private memories of residents are embodied in traditional robes, and the handiwork of children becomes celebration banners. Marshall-Linnemeier’s Journey Projects came to Eatonville last year, when she served as the museum’s Artistin-Residence. Hurston’s spirit lives in her vibrant, story-rich installation.

“Florida has its own unique way of turning lemons into lemonade,” MarshallLinnemeier tells us in an interview.

Eatonville was incorporated as America’s first African-American town, but nobody ever said this made life easy for the black citizens living here. Marshall-Linnemeier spent three months in the Hurston Residence, and she says she felt “Zora’s kindred spirit of investigation into spiritualism, mysticism and storytelling as an alternative to traditional Western paradigms.”

For this exhibition, Marshall-Linnemeier created robes in the African Yoruba tradition, stitching into each the personal and private memories of key people in the community. The robes aren’t numbered or named, but are instead presented as a collective result of her time here. Each robe in the Hurston Museum has a vibrant energy that shimmers with power. Photographs, newspaper articles and other memorabilia are printed onto textiles and sewn into these robes.

In the Ifa tradition, they are meant to be worn by the descendants. A sense of the spirit and pride of the participants shines as strong as the bright yellows, reds and purples of the fabrics. “Eatonville’s First Fire Truck, 1955” jumps out of one robe. “The City of Five Lakes, Three Croquet Courts, 300 Brown Skins and 300 Good Swimmers” shines from another. The faces and names on the robes flow into a pantheon of this community, bringing ancestors and founders out of memory boxes and albums into a new kinship within the museum.

The effect is intensified with crisscrossed banners created by children in a local STEAM project. Leaves and other objects were placed over light-sensitive fabric, where they formed fascinating imprints, woven into the banners. This work raises the eye to the ceiling, contrasting the ancestors’ faces with the work of Eatonville’s future generation.

Motifs of branches, flowers, peacock feathers and geometric patterns relate specifically to Eatonville. “While living there,” Marshall-Linnemeier says, “I went to church, visited with kids, jogged and quite frankly just made myself at home.” She fell in love with the people and their gardens, and the robes reflect what she saw.

The triumph and sacrifice of ancestors’ hard work, made tangible in these robes, elevates their memories to a sacred plane.

Marshall-Linnemeier’s artwork is the part of the process the viewer can see, with the other part being the privilege of wearing one of the robes and integrating oneself with these memories. It is difficult to say whether she acts more as an artist or as an anthropologist. Either way, like Hurston, she has enabled this unique community to pass its own story along, and created a gorgeous collection of visually powerful cloaks as well. arts@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

[ restaurant review ]

BY FAIYAZ KARA

Farm-Haus will morph into Farm & Haus when the farm-to-table meal delivery service moves into the Bookmark It space at East End Market at the end of the month. Their partnership with Dixie Dharma, offering a vegan option alongside their other dishes, launched last month.

DoveCote Brasserie, the downtown venture by chef Clay Miller, Gene Zimmerman of Courtesy Bar, and James and Julie Petrakis (Ravenous Pig, Cask & Larder, Swine & Sons) has announced an opening date: July 6 (just in time for my birthday).

OPENINGS Tennessee Truffle, by former Café de France executive chef Nat Russell, has opened on First Street in Sanford. The month-long pop-up restaurant with Southern leanings could become a permanent fixture, should it prove popular … STK, the high-end, see-and-be-seen steakhouse, has opened at Disney Springs … Mesa21, promising “authentic Mexican food on American soil,” will open in the old Gargi’s location on Lake Ivanhoe in October … Chroma, the new concept from the Tavistock Restaurant Collection, will open in the Lake Nona Town Center this fall. It’s touting itself as a “social bar and modern table” …

Wahlburgers plans to open a second location in Waterford Lakes Town Center in October … Lucky’s Market, oft dubbed “the love child of Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s,” will open June 22 in the Alafaya Village shopping center on East Colonial Drive with a bacon-cutting. So much tastier than a ribbon-cutting.

Mixed grill at Zora Grille

Iran (not) so far away Persian kebab house makes a case for being on your regular rotation

BY FAIYAZ KARA ZORA GRILLE 1370 E. Altamonte Drive, Altamonte Springs | 407-636-9969 | zoragrille.com | $$

I

can’t help but compare Zora Grille, the Iranian restaurant that opened late last year in Altamonte Springs, to one I’ve been patronizing for the better part of a decade – Shiraz Grill on Westwood Boulevard. Shiraz’s kebabs, be they koobideh, barg, shish, what have you, are the standard by which I measure other Persian-style kebabs fashioned locally.

(When the Orlandoer blog said, “The guy at the Orlando Weekly is full chub over it,” he wasn’t kidding.) When I’m asked about my favorite restaurants, my response isn’t based so much on the painterly technique of the plating, or the verticality of the burger, or how the banquettes’ stimulating curves break the internet. It’s based on whether I’d return to the restaurant time and again – whether I’d make it a part of my regular rotation. Shiraz happens to be one of my faves, but temptress Zora entices with its proximal lure. While no distance is

too great for any true kebabophile, not having to drive to the SeaWorld area (where Shiraz is) has obvious merits.

A complete renovation of the former Uncle Jones Bar-B-Q space is oddly industrial and cavernous, but the unmistakable scents of meats a-sizzling makes the place feel more homey than any high-priced interior designer ever could. The nose knows, so while we waited for our meats to be fired, we snacked on simply grilled button mushrooms ($4) and complimentary hummus with lavash. We didn’t know we’d get hummus with our lavash, so if you’re considering ordering the hummus starter ($4), don’t. Not unless you really love hummus – lemony hummus. Khoresht gheymeh ($11), a stew fashioned from yellow split peas, diced potatoes and Angus chuck, might’ve been on the thicker side, but limoo amani lent the dish what only dried lime can – a brilliantly bitter finish.

Now, when you’re in mid-chew and the server comes by and gives you the “look” – you know, the one that says: Hey, you guys better hurry the hell up because the kebabs are about to come out and you’ve got a lot of food on this table and I need to start clearing plates because the kebab platters aren’t going to fit – you feel compelled to, well, hurry the hell up. So stew, lavash and hummus were duly packed in in preparation for a somewhat deflating arrival – the Zora kebab platter ($24) was one lamb koobideh

short of complete. “It’s being cooked,” said the apologetic server. (So why rush us, only to serve an incomplete dish?) We chewed on a plush kebab of flavorless ribeye while awaiting the “limousine” of ground lamb, which turned out to be not quite as insipid.

I will say the rice, with its heady fragrance of saffron, trumps even Shiraz Grill’s (and Longwood’s Ali Baba, for that matter). A skewer of splendidly succulent boneless chicken thigh ($12), by far the most flavorful of the kebabs we sampled, was made all the better with a side of raw onions – the way all kebabs are enjoyed, from Tehran to Isfahan.

Persian tea for two ($4.50) served with plump, sweet dates is a sufficient ending to your meal. Faloodeh and bastani, two of my favorite Iranian desserts, aren’t offered here (advantage Shiraz) though a light, flaky, creamy Napoleon ($4.50), while atypical, is well worth ordering. Soggy baklava ($3.50), not so much.

Live music will soon commence on Fridays at Zora, but I’d rather they commenced tinkering with the spices and seasonings in their meat marinades (while everything was succulent, some of it lacked flavor). Iranian eateries are a relative rarity in Central Florida, and I’d like nothing more than to add Zora Grille to my list of favorites.

CLOSINGS Spice Burgr in the Chase Plaza has closed, taking with it some of the best fries in the CBD. Owner Manny Tato hopes to reopen elsewhere downtown.

NEWS Slate’s Dominic Rice has moved to New York, and “guest chef” Nick Oltarsh (Concentrics Restaurants; Danny Meyer’s Union Square Hospitality Group) has stepped in to fill the void until a permanent replacement is found … Non-native, invasive, yet utterly delicious lionfish is now being sold at Whole Foods. Eat those ugly things before they destroy our native marine life … RIP, “Mama” Millie Parker. We’ll miss your jerk chicken and your smile.

shooting-it-straight brinkmanship).

I love bitter flavors, but even I would hesitate to drink more than a stomach-settling sip of straight Fernet-Branca. However, I admire its adaptability. The secret mix of dozens of herbs, spices and fruits facilitates a constant search to find other flavors that will boost and amplify the ones you like.

I don’t care so much for Fernet-Branca’s menthol whiff, but I can get behind the cardamom and rhubarb.

Despite Fernet-Branca’s very recent popularity, it has been around since the mid19th century, and there are even a couple of classic cocktail recipes that use it. I may take a pass at the Toronto cocktail another time, but this month I’ll Remix the Hanky Panky, in honor of my (gin-loving) friend.

The Hanky Panky, a sort of Martinez-plusFernet, originated at the American Bar in London’s Savoy Hotel in the first years of

his month’s Remix was inspired by a friend’s dilemma – a dilemma shared, I suspect, by many. As our friend offered us pre-dinner drinks, he waved to his bar and admitted that he had no idea what to do with the bottle of Fernet-Branca that had been sitting there for months. He’d bought it after hearing its praises sung, opened it, and after the first taste, never went back. “How do people drink that stuff?” he asked plaintively.

Fernet-Branca has enjoyed a surge of trendiness in recent years, it’s true, but the bitter Italian amaro takes some getting used to, even for those who like other amari.

It’s mostly been the pet stunt liquor of hospitality-industry employees, who luge it off marrow bones or mix it with Coke, and of mixologists, who blend it creatively into cocktails for the paying customers (but often join the kitchen staff after hours in the

the 20th century. And here’s a first in all my Remix research: The bartender who created it was a woman, Ada Coleman. She predates Harry Craddock, who succeeded her behind the stick at the American Bar and wrote The Savoy Cocktail Book, in which so many classic cocktail recipes are collected – including this one.

In this Remix, I bumped up the FernetBranca significantly; the original calls for just a couple of dashes. (I’d suggest trying the original with about twice as much Fernet; it works.) But I paired it with an equal amount of Hum, a hibiscus-and-cardamom liqueur, which brought out all the Fernet’s spiciness and damped down some of the more toothpaste-y aromas, and also bridged the gap between the amaro and the red vermouth. The orange peel serves as more than just a garnish, too. Be sure to use a generous swath of peel and give it a good twist so as to mist the drink’s surface with the aromatic citrus oils. And be sure to use a dry, juniper-forward gin; softer floral gins won’t stand up to this stuff.

Daya Daya, the off-Park Avenue plant-based resto, plays up to its tony environs, but plays down usage of the word “vegan.” Whatever the label, dishes like cauliflower tempura with sweet chili and a burger fashioned from a spiced patty of hearts of palm are irresistible.

FILM REVIEW

Alice Through the Looking Glass

Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping

Pop will eat itself Lonely Island’s pop-culture mockumentary is good trashy fun, but stops short of actual criticism

BY DA N HUDA K

Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping

HHHHH

T

he Lonely Island, the team behind Saturday Night Live’s viral hits “D--- in a Box” and “Lazy Sunday,” now bring us the feature-length Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping, and it’s every bit as crass, ridiculous and hilarious as you expect.

And if you haven’t heard of those viral videos, go see Popstar anyway because it’s damn funny and surprisingly smart.

Andy Samberg stars as Conner4Real, a music superstar who shot to fame as part of the Style Boyz trio and later had great success with his first solo album.

However, his second album, Connquest, is a total disaster. With his life falling apart, one Style Boyz band mate, Lawrence (Akiva Schaffer), refuses to speak to him, while the other, Owen (Jorma Taccone), has been relegated to the role of a background DJ. Conner’s manager (Tim Meadows), publicist (Sarah Silverman) and girlfriend (Imogen Poots) offer support, but you sense they realize how superficial his work and celebrity are.

22

The story is told as a mockumentary, a mix of a Behind the Music special and This Is Spinal Tap absurdity complete with tales of controversy, rampant stupidity and back-stabbing. The music is trashy, catchy and fun – “Equal Rights” shows Conner worried about being perceived as gay while insisting there’s nothing wrong with it, “Mona Lisa” questions why the painting is famous by saying she “looks like a Garbage Pail Kid,” and there’s a false modesty in “I’m So Humble” that Mariah Carey says she loves.

Speaking of Carey, we learn about Conner’s success and stature from pop stars such as Nas, Carrie Underwood and Usher, and there are other cameos throughout from the likes of Emma Stone, Justin Timberlake and more.

Clearly creators Samberg, Schaffer and Taccone aren’t satirizing one person or band (though there are a few direct Justin Bieber jabs), but rather an entire industry of celebrity culture.

It takes guts and intelligence to latch onto social trends, understand them and scathingly satirize for optimum comic value.

But co-writers Samberg, Schaffer and Taccone (the latter two also codirected the film) only take it so far.

Teetering just below the flashy outfits,

ORLANDO WEEKLY ● JUNE 1-7, 2016 ● orlandoweekly.com

marijuana, bling, entourages and hangers-on is the utter stupidity of it all.

The filmmakers are aware of this but never go so far as to overtly criticize; they’re reticent when they could be resonant with cultural commentary on how and why we consume all the trash celebrities provide. Doing this, however, would’ve been risky, as it would essentially slap audience members in the face for liking who they like, and remember this: The target audience for Bieber, Pharrell, etc., and for this movie are one and the same.

This doesn’t mean the filmmakers don’t get their shots in, of course, sometimes in more obvious ways than others. A TMZ-inspired TV show called “CMZ” isn’t even trying to be coy about what it’s spoofing, and Conner’s desire to release his second album through household appliances suggests how intrusive technology has allowed the media to become whether we as consumers like it or not. “There’s no such thing as selling out anymore,” Conner says, and darn if your music automatically playing when people open their fridge doesn’t suggest that’s true. Do we really want to listen to a sellout? The story doesn’t explore that question, but it would’ve been interesting if it did.

In fairness, you can’t deduct points from Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping for not biting the hand that feeds it. It’s just not that kind of movie.

It is, however, a funny movie with appealing music that might just get you thinking about whether the celebrities you adore are worthy of adoration. film@orlandoweekly.com

The Moviecrappy

BY CAM ERO N “FRAB JO US” M EI ER

Alice Through the Looking Glass

HHHHH ’Twas Disney in its slithy realm Who thought a sequel they’d create.

So Tim Burton they asked to helm, And mouse and man did bloviate.

Beware the Moviecrap, my son!

The script that stinks, the actors who suck.

Beware Johnny Depp and shun Sacha Baron Cohen’s murky muck.

Burton took his producer’s sword in hand – Longtime a new director he sought.

So rested he by the soundstage tree And pondered who could be bought.

And as if an amateurish dolt he sought: James Bobin, with brain so lame, Came crapping through the turgid plot, Lewis Carroll imitation but a game.

Action, cut! Action, cut! And through and through His subpar direction went snicker-snack.

He left quality dead, and with it threw The whole CGI mess on the editor’s back.

“And has thou done thy very best, Shown wonder and magic and the Cheshire Cat?” Burton begged Bobin to confess.

“No,” brayed Bobin. “This flick fell flat.”

And though the film be pretty in contortions Proceed, oh audience, with utmost dread, For cinematic logic and proportion Have fallen sloppy dead. film@orlandoweekly.com

BY ST EVE SCHNEID ER

OPENING THIS WEEK As I AM: The Life and Times of DJ AM An authorized documentary chronicling the influential but tragically curtailed career of one Adam Michael Goldstein, who helped prove to the world that a DJ can be more than just someone you hire to work your daughter’s wedding.

An on-and-off addiction to drugs and a relationship with Nicole Richie are two of the life challenges chronicled in the picture, which is being pushed as a cautionary tale. Prepare for it with a viewing of the Amy Winehouse doc, and you’ll consider yourself forewarned, all right: You just might swear off the music business for good. (R)

The Lobster How I yearn for the innocent days of Logan’s Run, when you could be anything you wanted as long as you were willing to be killed at age 30. In the festival hit The Lobster, life is considerably more constrained: Single people have to report to a hotel to find a partner. Masturbation is not allowed, but the staff keeps everyone sexually aroused in order to facilitate the pairing off. At the end of 45 days, anyone who has not scored a mate is turned into an animal and set loose into the nearby woods. That’s right – it’s an entire movie about the Parliament House! (R)

Me Before You Author Jojo Moyes wrote the script for this adaptation of her hit novel, in which an unambitious 26-year-old woman becomes the caretaker to a wealthy man who has lost the will to live following a crippling accident. The New York Times called the book an “emotional typhoon,” which sounds like all the license Hollywood is gonna need to work in some more goddamn CGI. (PG-13)

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows I recently had a conversation with a talented young improviser I know, who told me that one of the guys he works with does a killer Donatello impression. That only reinforced for me that I live my life in a way that makes it very different from some people’s. Because I wouldn’t know a good Donatello impression if one crawled out of its shell and snapped at me.

I wouldn’t know a good Donatello from a good Michelangelo. In fact, I don’t think I’d know a good Donatello from a good Dona Flor, with or without her two husbands in tow. But a lot of people do know a good Donatello, I’m sure, and I hope they get it from this latest filmed adventure. Its main villain is voiced by Fred Armisen, BTW. I wonder if he can do a good Donatello. I mean, he knows Maya Rudolph. And she can do a good Donatella Versace. (PG-13)

nicknames like “El Canario”; this venerable

alking about a recent interview he did for an Italian mag, Counter Intuits vocalist Ron House relates with a laugh how the writer finally flat out asked him, “You guys really don’t want to be famous, do you?” That right there is one crucial reason why Ron House is one of the last sane men of the ’90s altrock boom. With the hotly tipped Thomas Jefferson Slave Apartments, House and his Ohio comrades seemed poised to hit the big time – even signing to Rick Rubin’s American Recordings in 1995 – but it all fell apart, which House summarizes with pitch-black humor: “I’ve been in a business where I’ve known how to fail for a long time!” But he didn’t succumb to bitterness, he kept making music; increasingly creative and weird music, at that. Most promising is his new project with Jared Phillips, former guitarist in Times New Viking, the grimy postpunk outfit Counter Intuits. Over two albums of insane, lo-fi guitar clatter, House is quickly becoming the American Mark E. Smith, a compelling performer who scatters sarcastic-as-fuck one-liners like mines throughout every song. A lot of people say

they’re doing music just for themselves, and it’s bullshit. But with Ron House I almost believe it. Counter Intuits headline the already-stacked Saturday night of this year’s Total Punk Total Fuck Off Weekend.

Orlando Weekly: Surely one of your bands must have played Florida before?

Ron House: I have not played Florida.

I’m not exactly a road warrior! I saw New Bomb Turks play there in St. Pete when I was on vacation years ago; that was fun.

Are you staying for the whole weekend?

No, the Slave Apartments are playing Thursday night at this festival in Southern Ohio. So I’ve got to play with them and then drive to Florida to get down to this. I’d love to stay for a few days after, but my daughter has tooth surgery on Tuesday, so I kind of have to do that. It’s a drag, but … it’s one of those things she’ll remember, you know?

My dad wasn’t there for my dental surgery!

How did you and Jared link up initially?

I’ve known Jared for years, even before he was in Times New Viking – he used to come in the record store where I worked.

When Times New Viking was breaking up, the guitarist in one of my old bands, Psandwich, moved to Austin. So my drummer in Psandwich asked Jared if he’d play with us and Jared said yes, which totally shocked me.

9 p.m. Friday, June 3, at Hard Rock Live,

Then Jared gave me a tape of stuff he’d been working on, and I said, “Y’know, we really don’t need Psandwich because with these demos we can just put my vocals over them and release it as a record.” That’s pretty much what we did for the first Counter Intuits record, which came out in 2013. I was just thrilled to get a chance to work with him. I feel very cool about it!

I think people do approach it as a blank slate. I think people know what I’ve been in before but … I think this is better than what I’ve done before. I feel more confident right now. And also, a lot of the bullshit I used to worry about, I don’t worry about now. I turned 60 years old this year and it’s just time to put up or shut up. In Decline of Western Civilization there’s a part where Alice Bag is singing and she’s just so fucking intense, and I want to be that intensity.

Something in the way you move Brit songstress Ellie Goulding is ready to dance

BY ALAN SCULLEY

ELLIE GOULDING 7 p.m. Saturday, June 4 | CFE Arena, 12777 N. Gemini Blvd. | 407-823-6006 | cfearena.com | $25-$230

Coming into her current album.

Delirium, Ellie Goulding felt she was reaching a critical point in her career.

She had enjoyed success in the mainstream pop world before. “Lights,” the title song from her 2012 debut album, reached No. 2 on Billboard magazine’s all-format Hot 100 chart (while topping four other charts), while “Burn,” from Halcyon Days (the deluxe reissue of her second album, Halcyon), topped the British singles chart and went top 15 in the United States. Yet Goulding hadn’t achieved the major popularity of stars like Selena Gomez or Demi Lovato.

The fear that she was running out of chances to ascend to the top rung on the pop music ladder was a big reason the 29-year-old Brit brought on leading hit-making songwriters and producers like Greg Kurstin and Max

Martin for the Delirium project and pursued more of the kind of electronic/synthy pop sound that is popular on the pop charts.

“It was like a make or break for me, really, because I could have either carried on doing what I was doing or just took the leap,” Goulding says in a phone interview. “I decided to do that, and not just with the album, but with a lot of things in my life. I made a lot of big decisions and making the album was one of them. I just realized things had to change in order for me to move on with music, and to, I don’t know, maybe reach a bigger audience.”

Delirium has given Goulding the kind of success she was seeking. The album debuted at No. 3, making it Goulding’s highest-charting album to date in the U.S. The modern pop sound of Delirium, though, shouldn’t have come as a complete surprise to Goulding’s longtime fans.

Lights (and the deluxe edition of the album, Bright Lights) was a collection of danceable electronic-flavored pop tunes. But with “Halcyon,” she expanded her sound considerably, shifting away from buoyant dance-pop toward darker, anthemic pop tracks and full-bodied ballads.

Goulding is quick to say that there was more than chart ambitions behind the musical direction she took on Delirium.

“I’d always wanted to make an album like Delirium and just had never committed to it,” she says. “And I’d never gotten to work with the greats [among pop producers] before, never been with Max Martin before or Greg Kurstin. You know, sometimes it takes time to build those relationships. They can work with anyone in the world if they want to, so it takes awhile to kind of earn that. I think with Halcyon and Lights, I earned that acknowledgement of being a pop musician and then I managed to work with those people. So I think it all came at the right time.”

Now, as Goulding enters the American leg of her world tour, she is adding new skills as a performer as well, bringing backup dancers and choreography into a show that features plenty of visual bells and whistles.

“Honestly, a few years ago if you had asked me if I was going to dance, I would have said ‘Definitely not,’” Goulding says.

“But I’m really enjoying it and I feel like it’s adding something to the show that fans really love and enjoy.”

She’s also entering a new stage in her life.

In March, she revealed she had broken up with boyfriend Dougie Poynter (of McFly).

Her romance with Poynter had informed many of the lyrics on Delirium.

Despite that development, Goulding says she doesn’t think the songs from Delirium are taking on much of a different feel for her, and for that matter, she thinks there might still be a future for her with Poynter.

“A lot of the album was influenced by that time in my life [with Poynter],” she says.

“But it hasn’t really changed that much. To be honest, I don’t feel like, in myself, I don’t feel like the show has changed. Obviously, it was a tough couple of weeks around that time. And we’re friends and don’t think it’s the end of an era entirely. I think it could be sort of an unfinished story.” music@orlandoweekly.com

10,950 days of GENITORTURE Gen Vincent of Genitorturers

Industrial deviants Genitorturers celebrate their 30th anniversary in their birthplace of Orlando

for a release we’re doing, and I was going through the history of the band and it’s just crazy how many incarnations of the Genitorturers there have actually been. And you can really see the evolution of the band.

When I started the band I was at Rollins College – I came from New Mexico, a punk rock kid, walking around preppy Rollins with my big Mohawk. It was my first culture shock. That in itself was an incentive for me to start a music project that was riveting and interesting.

Tell us about your Orlando origins.

I was a pre-med student, microbiology major, it was a very different world, going to Rollins. … And it was crazy because on one of my first days I saw the only other punker on campus, my friend Marisa Demeio. I walk into the dining hall and there’s this Italian girl with a huge black deathrock Mohawk and I walk in wearing a Plasmatics shirt with a Wendy O Mohawk! And we came up

How did the audience react? Piercing was pretty outré at the time.

You could get away with a lot in an underground club! But it’s one of those things where now we have backup dancers and costume changes, but back then it was really raw and crazy and super spontaneous. It’s funny, now you’ll get people jumping onstage and they’re all excited to be onstage, but they’re doing a selfie video!

And now we live in a post-50 Shades of Grey world. What did you think of that?

You mean that housewives and soccer moms were reading it?

Exactly!

It’s really interesting how mainstream these things have become and I think the internet is a big part of that. It’s allowed people to go places that they wouldn’t normally go. Back when we were doing this, in order to experience anything fetish you had to go to a bookstore and buy like … Dungeon Master Magazine or Skin 2. But now people don’t have to venture out of their homes, people can just sit in their living rooms and let their minds wander and experience things they perhaps wouldn’t have the balls to do if they were face to face. music@orlandoweekly.com

hile 30 years of activity in any genre of music is worthy of respect, 30 years of being an industrial metal group with heavy fetish/ S&M overtones is absolutely jaw-dropping.

It’s just not done. Yet the Genitorturers, the outfit in which vocalist and provocateur Gen has explored all of her beautiful dark twisted fantasies, are still with us. And in rude health. The band is preparing for a 30th birthday show in Orlando with major influence and icon Lydia Lunch opening the night. Beside Lunch’s human tornado presence on the bill, this anniversary show is also noteworthy as Vincent plans a unique, career-spanning set featuring guest appearances from a phalanx of formers ’torturers. Orlando Weekly picked Gen’s brain about everything from starting the project at Rollins College (!) to housewife S&M chic.

Gen Vincent: I’m writing liner notes

with the idea of starting the most extreme band that we could think of, which was a band that of course pierced men’s genitals and did all sorts of wacky things.

I stumbled upon the name for the band on one of our outings to Parliament House.

They had a bookstore and there was a card in there that said, “Know your hot hanky colors.” This was back in the ’80s when the bandana thing was happening; in the gay scene it was a way to display what you were into – what your fetish was – going down the card I see purple and it says “genitorture.”

When we started off as a band, Marisa was the singer and I was the bass player and we were the Festering Genitorturers, and then she left and started her own band and then I dropped the “Festering” part and we became the Genitorturers. I started incorporating the fetish elements and put the bass down and kind of evolved into a singer-performer. And then I could do costume changes, all of the things you can’t do when you’re weighted down with a bass.

And I could pick up a whip!

Before we had go-go dancers or performers, it was just audience participation. We’d strap a guy down, do nipple piercing … all sorts of displays of body modification.

Cover bands are usually good

or bad. But great? The derivative nature of the idea all but precludes such a laurel.

Stereolad (May 26, the Social), however, may be the coolest cover-band concept ever.

Stereolad is Sacramento alternative dance-rock band !!! opening for themselves as a Stereolab tribute band, in a take that packs both fidelity and humor.

Even with more volume and horsepower, they were fairly faithful to the motorik drive and organ vibes of the source material. Frontman Nic Offer lived the gimmick far enough to go drag in a requisitely coquettish dress and adopt a bad French accent, like maybe Laetitia Sadier with more rockist tendencies and hairier legs.

Well, something like that. Inventive and uproarious, Stereolad’s opening set actually took the room all the way from zero to 60.

Hell, when have Stereolab themselves ever done that?

Then !!! took the stage and shot the club to the moon with a glitter bomb of funk, house and rock. Few can maintain such a forward artistic gaze while keeping it as straight funky as this outfit. What makes !!! so exceptional as a band – and especially a live act – is that they’re brainy but never at the cost of booty-bumping fun.

But it is unquestionably the Pied Piper power of Offer’s irrepressible Jagger-esque presence that leads the party and turns the whole house into a rubbery sea of lost inhibition. From the stage to the floor, everyone was all out with zero selfconsciousness. It was about as pure a vibe

A fan actually walked up to Offer mid-song just to embrace him. That’s some cool shit. And that’s why !!! is the best disco band alive.

as it gets, the kind of total dance fever seen more in da club than at live concerts.

Their genius, however, is that they take the primal idea of unchained, goofy fun and push it to transcendence. A fan actually walked up to Offer mid-song just to embrace him. That’s some cool shit. And that’s why !!! is the best disco band alive.

THE BEAT

False Punk are always worth the price of admission. In terms of who the city’s most electrifying punk band is right now, they’re still kings of the mountain with no credible threat on the horizon. It’s not because there aren’t enough legit contenders – there are – it’s just that they’re that good. But with a bill padded with quality and variety, the homecoming show (May 22, Uncle Lou’s) for their East Coast tour was one of those events whose turnout and energy reassure me that all will be OK with the world.

It’s been a while since I’ve checked in on surf traditionalists Thee Wilt Chamberlain and, in that time, they’ve perfected their craft. By now, they’ve

really got their thing down, with patina and atmosphere so complete and enveloping that they make stepping into Uncle Lou’s feel like a scene from a Tarantino film. Thee Wilt Chamberlain may be the only pure surf-rock band in Orlando, but it would take a seriously exceptional practitioner to topple their reign as the best.

But it took Jade Tree band Socialite all of about 15 seconds to peel the lid off the joint. The beautifully blared and elemental hardcore of this Philadelphia crew isn’t trying to expand the form outward, they’re distilling it back to its essence. In tapping that pure marrow, Socialite are one of those bands that reaffirm the fundamental eternity of punk rock rather than just perpetuate its fashion.

So, naturally, things got crazy. Bodies flew, ceiling tiles got knocked out, it was live.

Still, you can’t undersell invention, especially when you’re face-to-face with an act like intensely captivating Fort Lauderdale band Ian Iachimoe. As a headlong duo that kicks with the twin barrels of noise and punk, the Lightning Bolt comparison is facile but appropriate. While Lightning Bolt rides the frenzy, however, the bass-and-drums assault of Ian Iachimoe gets heavy and hairy like a sludgy, fuzz-thick, bottom-heavy cousin that’s every shred as thrilling as it looks on paper. With the cumulative impact of dynamics, power and that pulse-jacking torque so signature of duos, Ian Iachimoe show the real mileage of a two-piece when you put some brains and guts into it. baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

OUR PICKS FOR THE BEST EVENTS THIS WEEK

Thursday, 2

She Wants Revenge MUSIC

She Wants Revenge, the duo of musical chameleon Justin Warfield and producer Adam Bravin, has reunited for a tour marking the 10th anniversary of their self-titled debut. She Wants Revenge the album became a Hot Topic and goth club staple upon its release, based around tunes like “Out of Control” and “Tear You Apart.” Full disclosure: I saw them at the House of Blues nearly a decade ago, and in spite of myself I was charmed by their music, which at that point was an unself-consciously dour mix of Suicide, Soft Cell and New Order. Songs glide along on a minimalist sinewave pulse – recalling all the good songs on Closer – and Warfield’s tortured baritone, reciting snatches of what had to be a teenage diary. Postpunk for the masses. A net positive. – Matthew Moyer 8 p.m. | House of Blues, 1490 E. Buena Vista Drive, Lake Buena Vista | 407-934-2583 | hob.com/orlando | $15-$30 Saturday, 4, and Monday, 6

The Pink Fire Revue ART

Not only does the Gallery at Avalon Island have a decent air conditioner, but they also have nice big windows. Which means you can look out and experience the schadenfreude of watching people walk around in the heat while you keep cool inside with this cross-disciplinary art event. Experience visual depictions of sound from Synthestruct while poets like John King and Tod Caviness read over a backing of improvised electronic music from the likes of Jon Curtis and Pressurewave. Presented by Functionally Literate, the Drunken Odyssey and the In-Between Series, this event brings together some of our favorite local artists for a special experience. – Thaddeus McCollum 7 p.m. | The Gallery at Avalon Island, 39 S.

ORLANDO WEEKLY ● JUNE 1-7, 2016 ● orlandoweekly.com

Are you ready to feel the Bern, hard? OK, now that we’ve got that out of the way (look, it was inevitable), we can kvell over the thought of La Bernhard, here, in our tiny town. There’s no one like Bernhard, who’s perfected a dirty-mouthed, confrontational, vicious-diva persona over three decades of performance. It’s hard to define her act, but she came up in comedy like an unholy combination of Lenny Bruce and Patti Smith and blazed through film (she almost stole King of Comedy from Robert De Niro and Jerry Lewis), TV (she played TV’s first out lesbian character on Roseanne) and stage (her off-Broadway show Without You I’m Nothing, With You I’m Not Much Better was also released as a double album and on video). By some accounts, that ferocious edge isn’t quite as keen or mean as it once was; you might expect a loosely improvised monologue akin to her daily Sirius XM show, “Sandyland.” Her performance at the P-House is part of this weekend’s Gay Day festivities, and she’s joined by ’90s R&B star Deborah Cox (“Nobody’s Supposed to Be Here”); also listed are “adult film stars” and “foam party,” so just imagine the possibilities. – Jessica Bryce Young 8 p.m. | Parliament House, 410 N.

Be a part of history when the Copa America football tournament comes to Orlando this week. This is the tourney’s 100th anniversary, making it the oldest international continental football tournament in history. This year in particular is special, as it’ll be hosted outside of South America for the first time ever. Sixteen teams from two different conferences in the Americas are pitted against one another in 10 stadiums across the United States, and the City Beautiful is fortunate enough to host two of the opening group games this week at Camping World Stadium. Saturday’s game has Costa Rica facing off against Paraguay, and Monday’s match has Panama playing Bolivia.

Tickets are a little pricier than your average Orlando City game, but hey, bragging about the seeing the first Copa America games in the states to your grandchildren will be priceless. – Harry Sayer

EVENTS

FILM

Erotic City Comes Alive

Making a Killing: Guns, Greed and the NRA Florida isn’t known as the Gunshine State for nothing. George Zimmerman’s recent sale of the pistol he used to kill 17-year-old Trayvon Martin prompts a needed conversation by locals on guns and their impact on society. Why not start with a free screening of Making a Killing: Guns, Greed and the NRA this weekend at the First Unitarian Church of Orlando? The 2016 documentary looks into the gun violence that affects everyday Americans and the gun companies resisting stricter gun regulations.

The event, presented by the Global Peace Film Festival, the League of Women Voters, and the Peace & Justice Initiative at Valencia College, aims to join together groups who want common-sense gun laws. – Monivette Cordeiro 1:30 p.m. | First Unitarian Church of Orlando, 1901 E.

The Hooten Hallers

PRINCE ART BY ANDREW SPEAR

MUSIC

One of the problems with so many legendary musicians dying lately is that it’s tough to come up with a decent tribute to such iconic artists. While the Valentine’s Day David Bowie tribute at Will’s Pub hit the mark by allowing for varying interpretations of Bowie’s expansive catalog, one only has to look at Lady Gaga’s hacky Broadway version of Bowie – or Madonna and Stevie Wonder’s milquetoast recitation of the “Purple Rain” refrain – to see how easily they can go wrong. So for this tribute party, DJs BMF, Nigel John and Andrew Spear aren’t looking to replicate Prince’s vibe, just celebrate it. The three big Prince fans promise five hours of nonstop jams from Prince and Prince-related artists, including hits, B-sides, bootlegs and remixes – these aren’t the kind of guys to just press play on 1999 and let it go – accompanied by some of Prince’s best videos mixed live. The Hideaway, recent recipients of an Andrew Spear mural commemorating the Artist, supplies a cash bar and a no-fee ATM, and a raffle with lots of cool prizes – like an Audio-Technica turntable and vinyl reissues of 1999 and Prince’s eponymous 1979 album (featuring a majestic back cover photo of a naked Prince astride a winged Pegasus) from Park Ave CDs. You shouldn’t have to be told this, but dressing up is encouraged, especially if your get-up is purple. You may want to skip the heels unless you can dance in them comfortably. – TM

The sound of primal rock mixed with hillbilly soul blasts from the stage when the Hooten Hallers barrel into your town, all rockin’ bones rhythms and guitar/sax/drums attack. The hard-touring trio from Missouri are known for their raucous shows and have already performed 52 gigs in 18 states since the start of this year. Formed back in 2007, the Hallers feed off classic American roots sounds. Since their inception, they have released several albums through their Big Muddy Records imprint, including Greetings From Welp City in 2012 and Chillicothe Fireball in 2014. But recordings only tell half the tale of the Hooten Hallers, so you’d be well advised not to miss this one. – Bridgette Norris with Prison Wine | 9 p.m. | Will’s Pub, 1042 N. Mills Ave. | willspub.org | $5-$7 Tuesday, 7

Loose Lips LITERARY

The monthly event formerly known as the Bohemian Woods returns with a new name and a new venue to offer up more hot takes on current events. Event host Tod Caviness hand-picks five writers to read essays and writings that deal with anything that’s happened in the news over the past month, and what follows are more often than not hilarious or poignant critiques and reflections on the world today. Swing on over to Lil Indies (next door to Will’s Pub) on Tuesday, have a glass of wine (or three) and see what the city’s coolest cats have to say. – HS

Bite30 EVENT

June may be the month where we all start sweating a little more, but thanks to Bite30, we also see an uptick in our salivation. That’s because Orlando Weekly teams up with some of the best restaurants in the area to offer up special prix fixe menus for a whole month. So you (and we) get to try a wide range of culinary delights from each spot, often for the price of a regular entrée. Whether you’re dropping $15 on lunch or $30 on dinner, you’re getting one or two extra courses for next to nothing. The only catch is that you may have to ask for the Bite30 menu when you’re seated. Participating restos run the gamut from modern American (Nova, Smiling Bison) to Basque (Txokos) to Asian (Baoery, Kabooki Sushi), so even the pickiest of diners should be able to find an option that whets their appetite. Check out the full list of participating restaurants and their menus at bite30.com, and while you’re there pick up tickets for Bite Night at the Orchid Garden on June 27. That’s when you’ll get to stuff yourself with food and drink from tons of local purveyors while enjoying special live entertainment during our celebration of Central Florida’s dining scene. Bon appetit! – TM June 1-30 | various locations | bite30.com

Drag the River MUSIC

A devoted local fan base of hard-drinking diehards keeps the stream of national touring alt-country and country-rock acts through Orlando pretty steady (Chuck Ragan was just here last month, Cory Branan will be here June 17 and Austin Lucas and Matt Woods will both be here July 8). But because their near-perfect balance of gruff texture and hard twang has long been some of the best of the lot, any time Colorado’s Drag the River comes to town is a red-letter day. Emerging from the notable country and punk crossroads of Suburban Home Records alongside names like Two Cow Garage, Tim Barry and Joey Cape, Drag the River has managed to outlive road wear, band drama (some of which has transpired on our stages here) and physical injury (some very recent) to see their 20th anniversary as a band. Happy birthday, boys, and many sweet and blurry returns. Be sure to show up early for notable hometown talent like Bartender Brian and Johnny Knuckles. – Bao Le-Huu with Bartender Brian, Dancehall Revelry, Johnny Knuckles | 8 p.m. | Will’s Pub, 1042 N.

LULU E IG HT B A L L

Think I’m exaggerating? I’m not. You could break a record for the biggest or best or fastest, or you might finally sneak past an obstacle that has cast a shadow over your self-image for years.

And even if none of these exact events comes to pass, the odds are excellent that you will accomplish another unlikely or monumental feat. Congratulations in advance!

ARIES (March 21-April 19) The voices in our heads are our constant companions. They fill our inner sanctuary with streams of manic commentary. Often we’re not fully cognizant of the bedlam, since the outer world dominates our focus. But as soon as we close our eyes and turn our attention inward, we’re immersed in the jabbering babble. That’s the bad news. Now here’s the good news.

In the coming weeks you will have far more power than usual to ignore, dodge or even tamp down the jabbering babble. As a result, you may get a chance to spend unprecedented amounts of quality time with the still, small voice at your core – the wise guide that is often drowned out by all the noise.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) We are inclined to believe that the best way to see the whole picture or the complete story is from above. The eagle that soars overhead can survey a vast terrain in one long gaze. The mountaintop perspective affords a sweeping look at a vast landscape. But sometimes this perspective isn’t perfectly useful. What we most need to see may be right next to us, or nearby, and it’s only visible if our vision is narrowly focused.

Here’s how poet Charles Bernstein expresses it: “What’s missing from the bird’s-eye view is plain to see on the ground.” Use this clue in the coming weeks.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) I foresee fertile chaos in your immediate future. I predict lucky accidents and smoldering lucidity and disciplined spontaneity. Do you catch the spirit of what I’m suggesting? Your experiences will not be describable by tidy theories. Your intentions will not fit into neat categories.

You will be a vivid embodiment of sweet paradoxes and crazy wisdom and confusing clarity. Simple souls may try to tone you down, but I hope you will evade their pressure as you explore the elegant contradictions you encounter. Love your life exactly as it is! Methodical improvisations will be your specialty. Giving gifts that are both selfish and unselfish will be one of your best tricks.

“Healing extremes” will be your code phrase of power.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) According to many sources on the internet, “werifesteria” is an obscure word from Old English.

But my research suggests it was in fact dreamed up within the last few years by a playful hoaxster. Regardless of its origins, I think it’s an apt prescription to fix what’s bugging you. Here’s the definition: “to wander longingly through the forest in search of mystery and adventure.” If you are not currently seeking out at least a metaphorical version of that state, I think you should be. Now is an excellent time to reap the catalytic benefits of being willingly lost in a wild, idyllic, relaxing setting.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) I’m debating about which of your astrological houses will be your featured hotspot in the coming days. I’m guessing it will come down to two options: your House of Valid Greed and your House of Obligatory Sharing. The House of Valid Greed has a good chance to predominate, with its lush feasts and its expansive moods. But the House of Obligatory Sharing has an austere beauty that makes it a strong possibility, as well.

Now here’s the trick ending: I’d like to see if you can emphasize both houses equally; I hope you’ll try to inhabit them both at the same time. Together they will grant you a power that neither could bestow alone.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Between now and July 25, there’s a chance you will reach the peak of a seemingly unclimbable mountain. You could win a privilege that neither you nor anyone else ever dreamed was within your reach. It’s possible you’ll achieve a milestone you’ve been secretly preparing for since childhood.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) “My mother gave birth to me once, yeah yeah yeah,” writes author Sara Levine. “But I’ve redone myself a million times.” I’m sure she is not demeaning her mom’s hard work, but rather celebrating her own. When’s the last time you gave birth to a fresh version of yourself? From where I stand, it looks like the next 12 to 15 months will be one of those fertile phases of reinvention. And right now is an excellent time to get a lightningflash glimpse of what the New You might look like.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Author Rebecca Solnit offers some tough advice that I think you could use. “Pain serves a purpose,” she says. “Without it you are in danger. What you cannot feel you cannot take care of.” With that in mind, I urge you to take full advantage of the suffering you’re experiencing. Treat it as a gift that will motivate you to transform the situation that’s causing you to hurt. Honor it as a blessing you can use to rise above the mediocre or abusive circumstances you have been tolerating.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Aphorist James Guida contemplates the good results that can come from not imposing expectations on the raw reality that’s on its way. “Not to count chickens before they’re hatched,” he muses, “or eggs before they’re laid, chickens who might possibly lay eggs, birds who from afar might be confused with chickens.” I recommend this strategy for you in the coming weeks. Experiment with the pleasure of being wide open to surprises. Cultivate a mood of welcoming one-ofa-kind people, things and events. Be so empty you have ample room to accommodate an influx of new dispensations. As Guida concludes: “Not to count or think of chickens.”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) “No gift is ever exactly right for me,” mourns Capricorn poet James Richardson. Don’t you dare be like him in the coming days. Do whatever you must to ensure that you receive at least one gift that’s exactly right for you.

Two gifts would be better; three, sublime. Here’s another thought from Richardson: “Success repeats itself until it is a failure.” Don’t you dare illustrate that theory. Either instigate changes in the way you’ve been achieving success, or else initiate an entirely new way. Here’s one more tip from Richardson: “Those who demand consideration for their sacrifices were making investments, not sacrifices.” Don’t you dare be guilty of that sin. Make sacrifices, not investments. If you do, your sacrifices will ultimately turn out to be good investments.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Life will invite you to explore the archetype of the Ethical Interloper in the coming days.

The archetype of the Helpful Transgressor may tempt you, as well, and even the Congenial Meddler or the Compassionate Trickster might look appealing. I urge you to consider experimenting with all of these. It will probably be both fun and productive to break taboos in friendly ways. You could reconnoiter forbidden areas without freaking anyone out or causing a troublesome ruckus. If you’re sufficiently polite and kind in expressing your subversive intentions, you might leave a trail of good deeds in your wake.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Your theme comes from the title of a poem by Fortesa Latifi: “I Am Still Learning How to Do the Easy Things.” During the next phase of your astrological cycle, I invite you to specialize in this study. You may imagine that you are already a master of the simple, obvious arts of life, but here’s the news: Few of us are. And the coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to refine your practice. Here’s a good place to start: Eat when you’re hungry, sleep when you’re tired and give love when you’re lonely.

Are you looking for a new furry friend? Adopt Harvey! Harvey (A346782) is a 4-year-old dog who is looking for his forever home. He is an energetic dog and he loves to run around and play outside. Harvey would love to have a yard that he can enjoy playing in! He likes to eat doggy treats, and he knows how to sit in exchange for one.

He is very friendly and gentle, and will make a great pet. For the month of June, the adoption fee for dogs will be reduced to $25 and the adoption fee for cats will be $20. The adoption fee includes sterilization, vaccinations and a microchip.

JUNE 1-7, 2016 ● ORLANDO WEEKLY

B Y D A N S AVA G E There’s this boy – he’s 29; I’m 46 and female. We met when we were 23 and 41. I was not and am not into little boys. The Kid chased me and I turned him down for months – until I got drunk one night and caved. It was supposed to be a one-night stand, but it isn’t. We’ve never been “together,” because the Kid wants kids and happily ever after and all that horseshit, and I don’t (and I’m too old even if I did). The Kid has been in several relationships, looking for The One, and I genuinely hope he finds her. But in the meantime, the Kid runs to me when he hits a hiccup in a relationship, and I let him.

Afterward, I get him to talk about it and I always try to advise him how to make it better. But so far it hasn’t, and we’re “us” again until he meets another girl. I do love this Kid, for what it’s worth. But I’m afraid I’m ruining his chances. I’m afraid that by being an escape hatch, I’m giving him a reason not to work on these relationships and he will never find the kids/forever thing he’s looking for. Should I let him go for his own sake? If I tell him honestly why, he won’t accept it, so I’d have to just vanish.

It would be worth it if I knew he met someone and got to live happily ever after. But I’d spend my life feeling bad for disappearing on him, and I’d always wonder if the Kid wound up alone.

Don’t Call Me Cougar

I don’t see any conflict between what the Kid says he wants in the long run – kids and happily ever after and all that horseshit – and the things his actions indicate he wants now, i.e., your rear and your ear. He’s young, he hasn’t met a woman he could see himself with for the long haul and he appears to be in no rush – he can have his first kid next year or 20 years from now.

And the meantime, he has you.

Here’s where I detect some conflict between statements and actions: The fact that you keep fucking the Kid while he’s technically still with other women is a pretty good indication that you’re not ready to let go of him, either. If you really wanted to encourage the Kid to work things out with whatever woman he happens to be seeing, you would offer him your advice without fucking him first.

Fucking someone who has a girlfriend doesn’t exactly telegraph “I think you two should work it out.” So going forward, maybe you should offer the Kid your advice when he’s seeing someone, fuck the shit out of him when he’s single and don’t waste too much time worrying about whether fucking you incentivizes being single. Because single/you may be what he wants right now.

If I first met someone on a hookup site or at a sex party and then we start seeing each other, what’s the best way to explain how we met when we’re at a social event and people ask?

Torrid Revelations Undermining Totally Honesty

The truth is always nice – and in your case, TRUTH, telling the truth about your relationship could be constructive.

There are a lot of people out there in loving committed relationships (LCR) that had crazy sleazy starts (CSS). But very few people in a LCR with a CSS tell the truth when asked how they

met. A couple who met at a sex party will say they met at a dinner party, a couple that met inside a cage in a sex dungeon will say they met doing a team-building exercise at a work retreat, a couple that met during an impulsive drunken threesome will say they met at a riotous protest outside a Trump rally.

These lies are understandable: People don’t want to be judged or shamed. But when a CSS couple lies about how they met, they reinforce the very stigma that made them feel like they had to lie in the first place. And they play into the sex-negative, self-defeating, hypocritical assumption made by singles who attend sex parties, etc. – single people who do sleazy things often refuse to date the people they meet at sex parties, etc., because they believe no LCR ever had a CSS. If couples with sleazy starts told the truth, single people would be less likely to rule out dating people they met sleazily.

I despised your advice to LIBIDOS, the poly married woman who you counseled to have sex with her husband even though she has zero desire to do so. You came close to telling her to throw away her consent. Somewhere between a third and half of women have been sexually assaulted.

Would it be possible for most of them to suck it up and sleep with someone they had no desire for without ending up resenting or hating that person?

From the husband’s perspective – assuming he’s not a piece of shit who thinks he’s entitled to sex but rather just wants a sexual connection with his wife – wouldn’t being lied to in this way ruin him?

The road you set this woman down leads only to bitterness and divorce.

Seriously Horrified About That LIBIDOS, a poly woman with a boyfriend (who she’s fucking) and a husband (who no one is fucking), asked me if she should “force” herself to fuck her husband. She also mentioned having a kid and not wanting to get divorced. And it was my opinion – an opinion she sought out – that she might wanna fuck her husband once in a while. Advice isn’t binding arbitration, SHAT, and if fucking her husband is a traumatizing ordeal, as opposed to a dispiriting chore, she should ignore my advice and keep not fucking her husband. And seeing as she asked me if she should fuck her husband, it seemed safe to assume that she was open to the idea.

You weren’t the only reader to take me to task for my advice to LIBIDOS. Apparently, there are lots of people out there who don’t realize how many long-marrieds – men and women, gay and straight, poly and mono – fuck their spouses out of a grim sense of duty. It seems a bit extreme to describe that kind of sex as a consent-free/sexualassault-adjacent trauma. Choosing in the absence of coercion to go through the marital motions to keep your spouse happy is rarely great sex – for either party – but slapping the nonconsensual label on joyless-but-trauma-free marital sex is neither helpful nor accurate.
