ORLANDO WEEKLY

Readers react to blog posts and stories from the Nov. 21 issue. On Nov. 21, we wrote about Walt Disney World’s planned 2019 debut of their new Skyliner gondola system, which allows guests to travel via a suspended metal box – with no air conditioning. The cabins are reportedly tailored to provide cross-ventilation to keep the gondolas cool. @Mel Annie Blayze Stop leaving your babies locked in hot cars! LEAVE YOUR WHOLE DAMN FAMILY LOCKED IN A HOT SKY CAR lolol. @Austin Huffman People act like gondolas without A/C don’t exist in hotter climates than central Florida. Each car will have ventilation systems that will allow air to pass through on your five-minute or less journey. For over 47 years, people have spent more time waiting in line for buses, watercraft and outdoor attractions at the resort in the heat without issue. Yet suddenly, it’s like the end of the world? Give me a break. @Shayne Ryder But you will be able to purchase a battery-operated fan for $20, or rent one for $10. Also on Nov. 21, we reported that Orlando International Airport is ranked the seventh

worst major airport in the country when it comes to flight delays, according to a new report by travel writer Asher Fergusson. Fergusson collected information from the 25 busiest airports in the U.S. and compared data from the Federal Aviation Administration, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, and wait times in customs from U.S. Customs and Border Protection. @Christopher Shreve Shout out to the Orlando TSA agent who I watched peel the foil away from a homemade pumpkin pie an elderly couple had, jam two fingers into the middle of it and swirl them around this morning. Keeping us safe. @John Duval Most of the delays at MCO are due to weather and ground conditions at the intended destinations. @Eleanor Hoffarth Just 10 minutes to get through security today AND excellent customer service in South Park Place! Thanks MCO. @Lorelai Gilbert It’s really unbelievable that they still can’t figure out how to manage the security lines. There are far busier airports – Atlanta, Chicago, that do it so it’s obviously possible. Get it together, MCO!!!

Florida is definitely screwed on climate change, Ocoee acknowledges near 100-year-old massacre, some pretty scary ants and other news you may have missed last week. »

New federal climate report has dire warnings for Florida: Thank

Brightline-Virgin rail service from Orlando to Tampa could cost $35 for one-way ticket: New documents filed by Virgin Trains USA, formerly

God we just elected two politicians who refuse to fully acknowledge climate change to the top seats in the state. The Fourth National Climate Assessment produced by 300 scientists and 13 federal agencies says humans need to take action immediately “to avoid substantial damages to the U.S. economy, environment, and human health and wellbeing over the coming decades.” If our lawmakers continue to deny global warming, Florida will be hit with increased amounts of mosquito-borne illnesses, the spread of invasive species, dying coral reefs, and more intense hurricanes, rainfall and flooding.

known as Brightline, shed more light on the privately owned passenger rail service’s plan for an Orlando-to-Tampa route. The documents, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission last week, show the company predicts the Orlando-to-Tampa route proposed along Interstate 4 could be launched as early as 2021 and cost about $35 for a one-way ticket (or about $73 for a round trip). The trip between the two cities would be about an hour on Virgin trains capable of going up to 125 miles per hour. In June, Gov. Rick Scott said the state Department of Transportation had received an “unsolicited proposal” to lease state property for a high-speed train along I-4. A few days later, Brightline announced it was pursuing the route outlined by Scott.

Ocoee issues proclamation acknowledging 1920 Election Day massacre: Close to a century after it happened, the City of Ocoee issued

a proclamation last week acknowledging the 1920 Election Day massacre. The proclamation recognizes Julius “July” Perry, a prosperous African American farmer who was shot and lynched by a white mob in Orlando after encouraging Ocoee’s black residents to vote. “Let it be known that Ocoee shall no longer be the sundown city but the sunrise city, with the bright light of harmony, justice, and prosperity shining upon all our citizens,” the proclamation reads. “Sundown towns” are communities where African Americans were advised to be outside city limits before dark under threat of violence. As well as hanging Perry from a telephone post, the mob also burned Ocoee’s African American neighborhood to the ground, killed an unknown number of black people and drove out those who survived.

Florida lawmakers plan to tackle election problems after state called ‘laughingstock of the world’: Last week, U.S. District Judge Mark

Walker called Florida the “laughingstock of the world, election after election” in a case dealing with Palm Beach County’s unsuccessful recount. Florida’s latest voting debacle included three statewide recounts for agriculture commissioner, governor and a U.S. Senate seat, and incoming Florida Senate President Bill Galvano said state lawmakers will likely “review various aspects of the elections process” to prevent future elections from “judicial intervention.” “There is an interest among the members that I’ve talked to – after this cycle – to revisit it, and figure out why ballots appear, why they are hard to track, why we have machine recounts that produce a substantially lesser number of votes than originally reported,” Galvano told reporters last week.

haunting your nightmares. The state’s most metal ant tricks a powerful species known as trap-jaw ants by chemically mimicking them and then spraying these enemy ants with immobilizing formic acid, according to new research by Adrian Smith, a scientist at North Carolina State University. After the gruesome murders, F. archboldi ants drag victims into their nest, dismember the bodies and collect the decapitated skulls to adorn their home. For decades, previous scientists observed trap-jaw ant skulls in the nests of F. archboldi ants, but assumed they had moved into abandoned former trap-jaw nesting sites. The real reason behind the amassed carcasses was a lot more macabre, according to the study published in the journal Insectes Sociaux. 8

‘CHEETO POTENTATE’ ILLUSTRATION BY CLAY JONES

FEAR AND LOATHING Authoritarian regimes are rooted in fear and hatred of ‘the other.’ Sound like anyone you know? BY JE FFREY C. BILLM A N

“The world is a very dangerous place!” The exclamation point got me. There were six more in that outrageous 631-word White House statement – and several other outrages in the week since, including trying to bury a damning climate change report on Black Friday and teargassing asylum-seekers at the border – but it was this one, in the statement’s first line, that stuck with me. President Trump was arguing that Middle East politics necessitated turning a blind eye to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s apparent murder of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi in Turkey. Saudi Arabia, he wrote, was a “great ally” in “our very important fight against Iran” (the Saudis have killed thousands of Yemeni civilians in a proxy war against Iran), and the kingdom was poised to spend $450 billion on American weapons (the actual number is $14.5 billion). Besides, Trump continued, Saudi Arabia claimed Khashoggi was an “enemy of the state” (Khashoggi was a legal American resident) 10

and bin Salman had assured Trump that he wasn’t behind the killing, so what can you do? “It could very well be that the Crown Prince had knowledge of this tragic event – maybe he did and maybe he didn’t!” Trump wrote (the CIA has high confidence that bin Salman ordered the hit). “In any case, our relationship is with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.” In the name of “safety and security,” Trump lectured, sometimes you leave your values at the door: “As President of the United States I intend to ensure that, in a very dangerous world, America is pursuing its national interests and vigorously contesting countries that wish to do us harm. Very simply it is called America First!” The world is a very dangerous place. Exclamation point. That sentence and its concluding punctuation jolted me not just because it’s a weird entry point to an official presidential statement – or because, were it in all caps, it would read exactly like your racist uncle’s Facebook punditry – but because I’d never seen a better distil-

ORLANDO WEEKLY ● NOV. 28-DEC. 4, 2018 ● orlandoweekly.com

lation of the essence of Donald Trump, the thing that animates his devotees and to which he owes his political success: fear. This notion – that the world is a scary place and America needs a strongman to protect her – is the throughline connecting Trump’s domestic and foreign policies, and connecting him to his base. Throughout the campaign, he called Mexican immigrants “rapists,” demonized Muslims, and exaggerated crime data to suggest that blacks and Hispanics posed an increasing threat in urban areas. In office, he’s called neo-Nazis “very good people,” African countries “shitholes,” sought to make good on his promised Muslim ban, and separated thousands of children from their migrant parents and stuffed them in cages. To rally support ahead of the midterms, he conjured a “migrant caravan” crisis and dispatched thousands of troops to the border, which were quickly recalled soon after the elections and long before the caravan arrived; his campaign PAC released a misleading, race-baiting ad featuring an undocumented Mexican boasting about killing cops. And just this weekend, Trump’s Border Patrol shut down a popular port of entry to head off a wave of Central American migrants who were seeking asylum – a legal right under American and international law – then shot tear gas and rubber bullets at them, claiming that some in the group had thrown rocks across the border. Expect these images – scary brown people! chaos! – to play heavily in Trump’s push for border wall funding in the lame-duck Congress. All of these things are hallmarks of Trump’s racism, of course. But they’re also flashing-neon-billboard signs of authoritarianism – and the two are related. Authoritarianism, at its core, is rooted in fear. As the political scientists Marc Hetherington and Jonathan Weiler wrote in their seminal 2009 book, Authoritarianism and Polarization in American Politics, authoritarians tend to “have a greater than average need for order” that leads them toward “ethnocentric and generally prejudicial thinking” and a distrust of outgroups – minorities, feminists, LGBTQ people – that could upend social cohesion. That’s what Trump’s tapped into: fear of a changing world – a more educated, diverse, progressive world. By instinct or calculation, Trump understands this, and he understands that he owes his election to it, as research shows that his base – i.e., lower-educated and fundamentalist whites – tends to score high on authoritarianism. As long as Trump manipulates that fear and distrust – of Muslims, of refugees, of transgender soldiers, of a dangerous world in general – and positions himself as the only person who can impose order on chaos (“I alone can fix it,” Trump famously said during the Republican National Convention in 2016), he figures his base will have his back. What Trump also adeptly intuits is that most Americans have these fears in some measure – latent authoritarian inclinations that can be activated by perceived threats, leading us to defer to authority figures who promise to protect us. If you have to shatter a few democratic norms along the way, so be it. Thus, we have the quintessential Trump doctrine: The world is a very dangerous place. Exclamation point. feedback@orlandoweekly.com

ewelry is the classic holiday gift for the femmes in your life, and Orlando is absolutely packed full of talented jewelry makers. One of our very favorites is Shannon McRae, the artist behind the angular, minimal Lou Jewels line (mylou jewels.com; her Refract cuff and ring are shown above). McRae’s company is named after a rambunctious kitten named Louie, whose “curiosity caused me to take notice of things I’d normally overlook, like shadows and beams of sunlight.” Any jewelry line named after a kitten is aces in our book, but it’s McRae’s minimalist aesthetic and unexpected geometric shapes that set her work apart from the rest.

For giftees with a different aesthetic, Gypset (gypsetco.etsy.com) or Rockhaus Metals (rockhausmetals.com) have a mineral-heavy, rich-hippie feel. Dear Prudence (dear prudencejewelry.com) offers sweet, girly, youthful pieces – as well as all the beads and findings you need to make your own. And if you’ve got real cash to drop, Orlando Vintage stocks the serious stuff, like vintage Bakelite bangles and chunky Navajo sterling-and-turquoise pieces (orlandovintage.com).

ne of the best ways to show love for yourself is to show love for your space, and hanging art is a great way to do that. Pictured above is the work of April Seelbach, which most Orlandoans only get to see “in the flesh” once a year at the Grandma Party Bazaar. She’ll be there again this year, but you can also find prints and paintings on her site (april-seelbach.squarespace.com). Seelbach, a St. Pete native, says that “after driving across the country for the first time in 2014 I became addicted to life on the road”; she has since spent hundreds of hours exploring the byways in her seafoam Chevy Astro van and taking the photos that she uses as the basis of her handmade prints. And about that special desert daze that hangs over Seelbach’s work? “The Southwest is just a

At shannonstaunton.com, find whimsical line drawings of places loved by every Orlandoan (like the Cameo Theater, Stardust or Will’s Pub); at lakefairlane.com, postcards memorialize Rollins College, the downtown library and the College Park Publix.

Season of giving Find that ‘perfect gift’ at Orlando’s newest locally owned shops this holiday

BY MONIVETTE CORDEIRO

hopping for family and friends is already pretty hard as it is, but there’s always that persnickety person in your life who makes the task infinitely more onerous. We all know one – they might be your picky sister or that charming friend who’s an Instagram “influencer” or a stylish co-worker who always has the latest Fenty on hand. If you’re not sure who yours is, it’s the person who accepts your clearly re-gifted lavender vanilla spa gift basket with a shady shrug and a smirk. But this year, Orlando’s newest locally owned shops have got you covered for the holiday season. In the past year, these new businesses have attracted the city’s interest for their well-curated goods, luxury products and delightful collections of affordable trinkets and tchotchkes. Say goodbye to scorned gifts and hello to being everyone’s coveted pick for Secret Santa.

Sing, O Muse, the story not of a wandering man, but of the women he left behind to keep the home fires burning for 20 years

BY SETH KUBERSKY

Most Orlandoans likely spent

Thanksgiving week scurrying around the supermarket, sprinting to Black Friday sales and slogging through the theme parks. But on Turkey Day Eve, I went strolling around Homer’s Ithaca, sightseeing spots immortalized in The Odyssey, one of Western literature’s greatest epics. Here, the fountain where the Oracle-cursed infant was saved from drowning by ducks; there, the balcony where the wedding feast was celebrated with song; and over there, the alleyway where the faithful wife’s ravaged maids nursed their wounds. My abbreviated tour of the ancient Aegean city didn’t occur in Greece (or upstate New York) but on the grounds of Valencia College’s East Campus. And my guide on this time-hopping trip wasn’t Virgil’s shade, but Rebekah Lane, adjunct professor of theater and director of The Penelopiad, an innovative indoor/outdoor adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s novella that opens this Thursday, Nov. 29, for a five-day run. Atwood (best known for The Handmaid’s Tale) authored her reworked version of The Odyssey in 2005, and adapted it herself for a 2007 Stratford-Upon-Avon staging. Lane, assistant director Sara Oliva, sound designer Kevin Becker, and an all-female cast of students and alumna have taken that script and transformed it into an immersive experience in which the audience follows the cast around the school grounds while Odysseus’ wife shares her tragic tale as a traveling variety show. “In the myth, Penelope is held up as this beacon of female modesty and dedication,” Lane tells me in the lobby of the arts building, where each show will begin and end. “[In the play], the audience meets Penelope

in Hades, and I see this as her perpetual journey, like pushing a boulder up a cliff; she gets to tell this story over and over and over.” In under two hours, she leads viewers through 30 years of her life, from birth through the famous reunion with her husband and beyond, while her ill-fated assistants interject their own perspectives into the proceedings. “When I read it, it really felt like [Epcot ride] Spaceship Earth,” Lane quips, explaining the origins of her guided tour-style progressive production. “It lends itself to walk-and-talk.” And there’s no better town for it, because, according to Lane, “The thing that makes Orlando artists special is that we know how to do interactive and immersive, because we eat, sleep and breathe it.” Valencia’s theater department has long wanted to add more shows to its season, but stage space is limited. Jeremy Seghers’ site-specific Red Black and Ignorant last year proved outdoor productions to be viable option, and Lane has now greatly expanded on the idea by exploring every crevice of the college’s underappreciated campus. Lane, who holds an MFA in theatre arts from Towson University, has served as a puppetry coach for Rollins College and Phantasmagoria (which, full disclosure, I co-produce), and began her career with MicheLee Puppets. “I intuitively think in puppetry,” Lane says after describing a scene in Penelopiad where shadow puppets are projected onto a circular overhead balcony. “Every puppet is different, so there’s always a level of discovery, because you’re working with handmade items that need to be expressive. What I find is that if you’re a diva, you’re probably not going to be a great puppeteer, because puppetry is about throwing the focus, sharing the focus.” Rather than dictating blocking to her performers, Lane and her company “devised”

the play’s movements and use of space by exploring architecture and props using a process developed by the Tectonic Theater Project. And in order to execute this unusually wide-ranging show, she’s had to coordinate with multiple school departments, warning security about fight scenes that occur in a courtyard and shifting students in nearby classrooms away from noisy scenes. Aside from its out-of-the-box staging, Lane says The Penelopiad’s subject matter is particularly apropos for our time. “After the election it seemed really relevant. … What we really end up seeing is this very human woman who was playing by the rules that were set out for her. We’re looking at status; we’re looking at who makes the rules, who enforces the rules and who is the judge.” (Spoiler alert: mostly men.) As our odyssey comes to an end, Lane praises The Penelopiad for providing her the opportunity to hire a large ensemble female cast. “It’s really an amazing group of women,” she tells me. “They all came for this not because they knew the play, but because they wanted to celebrate women in an intelligent way. They’re smart, they’re dedicated, and they’re doing even more than I ask of them.” skubersky@orlandoweekly.com

I picked the menudo (tripe), but my other choice really surprised them: a pork stew called dinuguan, thickened with pork blood. The blood imparts a color that makes the dish’s slang name appropriate: “chocolate meat.” I was told vinegar is a key ingredient in the dish, as it elevates what otherwise would be a murky and mineral flavor. Be brave; it is so good. For dessert, we opted for two new gustatory experiences: ube ice cream ($3.99) and a lukewarm coconut pudding called bilo bilo ($6.99). Contrary to what you may have heard, ube is not taro, though it looks and PHOTO BY ROB BARTLETT tastes almost exactly the same.

SELAM ETHIOPIAN & ERITREAN CUISINE

The city’s second Ethiopian restaurant offers diners another option to get handsy with their food. Of note is an explosive doro wat, a thick crimson stew reddened by the addition of berbere, a potent powdered spice blend and staple of Ethiopian cooking. Tear off pieces of spongy injera and enjoy. Ye beg tibs (a sauté of lamb) and raw beef kitfo heavily essenced with cardamom are two others to pay heed to. There are plenty of options for veg diners. Pair it all with tej, a sweet honey mead beverage. Open daily. 5494 Central Florida Parkway, 407-590-4571; $$

BEM BOM ON CORRINE

Lengthy delays and cost overruns aside, Bem Bom’s brick-and-mortar operation in Audubon Park has become a true destination. Diners come for the Portuguese, Mexican and Mexiguese fare, particularly succulent and well-spiced chicken piri piri, grilled chouriço, fiery carnitas tacos, center-cut salted cod, and tender carne asada with chimichurri. Items are being added to the menu with each passing week, so be on the lookout for grilled sardines with cabbage curtido and pastel de bacalhau. Closed Monday. 3101 Corrine Drive, 407-960-5101; $$

THE H CUISINE

Turkish steakhouse has a flair for tableside theatrics à la Salt Bae, but there’s no denying the quality cuts and showstopping preparations, be it a 28-day dryaged, bone-in ribeye or luscious “chateau filet” for two finished in a butter-pooled hot plate. Steak tartare blended with bone marrow starts things off in a properly beefy manner, though a salad of goat cheese, walnuts and pomegranate-studded vinaigrette is just as gratifying. Strozzapreti finished inside a flaming Parmesan wheel fuses gusto with gimmick. Don’t overlook the intriguing Turkish desserts. Open daily. 7512 Dr. Phillips Blvd., 407-930-3020; $$$$

LE COQ AU VIN

Venerated restaurant has lost much of its luster over the years, though its menu of classic French cuisine (with dishes that miss the mark more often than not) are still as pricey as ever. Two dishes that are worth a look: the namesake coq au vin and canard done two ways – as a crispy leg confit and a sliced duck breast scented with lavender and honey. Closed Mondays. 4800 S.

TASTE OF CHENGDU

Sichuan specialties keep things appropriately fiery at this comfy West Colonial Drive restaurant, but it’s the skill of chef-owner Xiong “Tiger” Tang, former executive chef of Zen at the Omni Orlando Resort, that has Chinese food enthusiasts abuzz. What to order? Really, anything – but the pan-fried pompano concealed under a heap of triple chili pepper, peanuts and a five-spice sauce, or the spicy whole lobster hacked and reassembled with its carapace adorned in an alluring mix of chilies, peppercorns, garlic and cilantro are both great places to start. 2030 W. Colonial Drive, 407-839-1983; $$$

BIG TIME STREET FOOD

Big Time Street Food shares an interior door with Burton’s, one of Thornton Park’s most popular watering holes, but whether you’re buzzed or not, this food is good. Not just good; it’s loud, brash and ultraextra. The Holy Fried Chicken Sandwich is a sinner’s version of Chick-fil-A’s spicy chicken-on-a-bun, and the Chorizo Montoya burger is edible chef porn: a grilled chorizo patty on top of a regular burger, plus cheese, cubed avocado and fried onions. It’s excessive. It’s craveable. It’s the Cardi B of hangover snacks. 805 E. Washington St., 407-801-5464; $$

JINYA RAMEN BAR

Decor is minimalist and food comes out fast and piping hot at this Los Angelesbased chain ramen-ya. The signature Jinya Tonkotsu Black ramen, a flavorful pork broth accented by a slick of unctuous fat, is stuffed with nori sheets, tender seared pork belly, a whole seasoned egg, kikurage seaweed and fried garlic – and toothsome noodles, of course. Tokyo curry rice and crispy-creamy octopus fritters are also best bets, if you’re going broth-free. 8 N. Summerlin Ave., 407-704-1825; $$

THE NOBLE SMOKESMAN

The Noble Smokesman does a bustling lunch business, and that’s good since they only serve the one meal. We didn’t love the sandwich or the mac & cheese we tried on our first visit, but the three smoked-meat tacos on our second visit knocked our socks off; the Birdhouse (barbecue chicken with smoked tomatillo salsa, pickled onions, cilantro cream and a generous sprinkling of queso fresco) was our favorite. The inch-high mini cakes are also not to be missed. 6925 Lake Ellenor Drive, 407-630-6223; $

SAPORITO ORGANIC BAKERY & KITCHEN

While the restaurant hews to the Slow Food ideology in the kitchen, nothing about the front-of-house service at Saporito is too leisurely. The breads, pizzas and desserts make it clear there are some master bakers here, and finding a true bacon-egg-and-cheese carbonara is ecstasy-inducing. But what really makes Saporito Organic Bakery & Kitchen special is the owners’ relationships with their customers; this place feels like home. 2759 Old Winter Garden Road, Ocoee, 407-554-2100; $$ n

GREAT LIVE MUSIC RATTLES ORLANDO EVERY NIGHT

HURRICANE PARTY 9 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 1 Lil Indies, 1036 N. Mills Ave. willspub.org free

Fonseca RC: It took on a Florida vibe immediately. And then we came up with the name Hurricane Party, which was perfect because it’s such a Florida-centric idea … We talked to people on tour in Europe and they were like, “Is that a real thing?” JB: And as far as Florida goes, [right now] I’m standing on a dock between two 300-foot yachts watching the sun go down and it smells like fried chicken and there’s palm trees everywhere. This is Florida as fuck.

FLORIDA MEN Yacht rap supergroup Hurricane Party knows how to get down BY MATTHEW MOYER

ny fans of deep Florida underground music are instantly familiar with the names Bleubird and Rickolus. South Floridian rapper Jacques “Bleubird” Bruna has for years been a leading light of a healthy Florida leftfield rap movement that includes the likes of Astronautilus and Paten Locke, and is a live favorite around these parts, while Rick “Rickolus” Colada is a delightfully skewed avant singer-songwriter with a gift for alien stage sets and onstage robots. And the thought of them collaborating is something that is simultaneously obvious and yet completely surprising. The two came together as Hurricane Party during an impromptu recording session, with the only goal being, according to Bruna, “to make a bunch of noise and rock a bunch of shows.” Mission accomplished in short order. The two knocked out a clutch of infectiously weird numbers that sound nothing like anything either has been involved with and immediately booked a Florida, and then European, tour. Their joy in starting over and “cutting their teeth” with a completely new identity is just as palpable as

their pride in repping their Florida roots. At one point during their conversation with Orlando Weekly, Colada summed up their aesthetic succinctly: “Super Florida, baby, we go from the top to the bottom.” Bruna added, without missing a beat, “All counties represented.” How did Hurricane Party form? Jacques Bruna: Rick and I have been friends for over 10 years. We met through Astronautilus. Rick grew up with Astronautilus, both of us have made lots of music with him, but for some reason Rick and I never thought to collaborate. Rick lives in Jacksonville and I live in Fort Lauderdale, and every time we’ve seen each other over the last couple of years, we’d say, “Hey man we should fuck around and make some music.” That led to me finally rolling up to Jacksonville so we could go into his studio and record. Rick Colada: It was meant to be something we’d do for fun. And very quickly we had sketches for 10 songs. Was there are a sound or aesthetic you were going for?

Thoughts on “yacht-rap”? JB: When we started out, as a joke, we kept throwing the word “vape” around. We called ourselves “vape-pop.” People were like what the fuck is that, and we were like “I don’t know. It’s cool right? It’s vape-pop.” But after one show someone came up to and said, “Y’all motherfuckers are yacht-rap.” I mean I fuck with yacht rock … It’s not necessarily what we’re trying to coin ourselves, we both just think it’s a funny term. You played Orlando recently, right? JB: We played Lil Indies. Will (Walker) is a homie of mine, I used to live in Orlando and work at the old Will’s. When I contacted them they were like “Oh yeah, you can play Will’s.” And I said, “This is a brandnew project. I’d rather play at Indies, and we’ll make it free, We’ll play a set and then DJ after.” And Will was like, “Let’s do it.” We didn’t leave the stage, we played and then DJed until closing. People just kept feeding us alcohols, fueling the fire. RC: We like smaller shows. We have more fun playing in the crowd. Most of the time neither one of us is on the stage. Will you be wearing the white jumpsuits on this tour? JB: Fuck yeah we are. We did one show without them because they were filthy, and it just felt weird. We’ll be able to wash them before we get to Orlando. RC: We won’t be that smelly. Or maybe we will? JB: Maybe we will! That’s the surprise. mmoyer@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

This week, more unexpected live ripples downtown and a warm annual singer-songwriter gathering blows up to a full festival.

NEW SHOWS AT SLY FOX, NOV. 19

Following yet another ping from the swamped live venue radar this year, here I am at a show at a spot not typically known for hosting bands. This time it’s downtown bar Sly Fox, where eminent Orlando indie promoter Norsekorea Presents is testing out live music. If it can develop legs, it’s an idea that could just bring back a bit of that glory days vibe of Bar-BQ-Bar shows. The launch was a pop-punk bill topped by Rushmore, a solid local band that rocks hearty anthems of real punk velocity, open melodic intent and a shot of humor. Opening were Melbourne trio Never Ender. Their songs shoot it straight down the line with foot on the pedal and melodies that ride high and big. It’s a well-angled pop-punk sound that hits the mark without having to be too adorable or silly. As a free show in a relaxed dive bar that’s got some grime under its nails and still allows smoking inside, the parallels between this Sly Fox prospect and the beloved Bar-BQ-Bar shows of yore are obvious. This tryout proves it could be a nice potential addition to the scene, especially since a similar live music effort across the street at 64 North has evaporated. The weeknight event capitalized on the relative chill (read: low tool factor) of Mondays in downtown and delivered a compact twoband engagement with zero fuss. And a comfortable crowd turned out to enjoy it.

As a free show in a relaxed dive bar that’s got some grime under its nails, the parallels between this Sly Fox gig and the beloved Bar-BQ-Bar shows of yore are obvious.

Norsekorea’s Kyle Raker, who also happens to tend bar at the Fox, says he hopes to do it on a semi-regular basis – perhaps once a month or so – so follow him. The big gestures oftentimes get all the trumpets and recognition, but sometimes the small no-need-for-ceremony-let’s-justrock affairs are the ones that deserve the spotlight. And as a horizon that removes all barriers to entry, these Sly Fox shows could become one of them.

FOLK YEAH, WILL’S PUB COMPLEX, NOV. 23-25

This year, Folk Yeah – the annual showcase of singer-songwriters by decorated Orlando musician Mike Dunn – has taken one of the biggest local quantum leaps. It’s gone from a single-night concert in its first two years to ringing in its third edition as a three-day music festival spanning every corner of the Will’s Pub complex. In its maiden voyage as a fleet, the newly expanded event fired off the line with an auspicious two-stage start. The outside

stage set the tone with a band-heavy lineup featuring established Orlando standouts like Day Joy, Richard Sherfey & All God’s Children and Someday River, as well as nice new discoveries like the slow-bleeding heart of Bastion and the angled, twangy indie rock of Athens’ Palace Doctor, a new band fronted by Modern Skirts’ Phillip Brantley. The indoor performances inside Lil Indies, though more intimate, were sometimes just as spirited. Between the sets by Maple Sparrow and Gailanne Amundsen, there was definitely a bit of a Swamp Sistas vibe in the house. Amundsen – who just released a new Carter Family covers album produced by John Carter Cash himself – showcased a bright Americana sound that interprets crackling traditional styles with young, modern snap. The big feature inside was Matthew Fowler & the Prado Sisters. More than just a pleasant background vocal foil to Fowler, the sisters – Tana and Adeline – provide him with added instrumentation and presence. With their voices, woodwind and brass, they give his tender sensibility some real flesh and vividness. With the Prados in the mix, Fowler has an activating force that graces his expression with a big, welcome boost in variety and dimension. Even though Folk Yeah does honor its name, this blowout edition featured nice stylistic range. But the most distinctive part, the aspect that gives Folk Yeah such identity and pedigree, is that Mike Dunn’s heart and touch ran throughout it, even at this scale. It felt executed with concept, care and conviction. Just how Dunn does things. baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

The House That Jack Built FILM

Lars von Trier’s latest film, The House That Jack Built, currently has a 58 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes. And if this were any other director, we might consider that a miss. But Trier – you know that “von” is an affectation, right? – thrives on creating controversy and dividing audiences. We can’t help but think that his dream reception to one of his notoriously hard-to-watch flicks would be a perfect 50-50 split. His latest, which follows a serial killer (Matt Dillon) over several years as he develops his “craft,” gets a special one-night-only screening of the uncensored director’s cut this week. The same cut reportedly inspired more than 100 people to walk out during its premiere at Cannes this year, though those who stayed rewarded the film with a standing ovation.

Meow Wolf: Origin Story FILM

What does Santa Fe artists collective Meow Wolf do? Tough to describe; their interactive installation The House of Eternal Return has been described as an “experiential museum,” but it’s more apt, maybe, to call it a cross between performance art, experimental theater, a haunted house and a rave. The word-of-mouth popularity of Meow Wolf’s wild homemade universe has exploded to such a point that travelers are streaming into Santa Fe simply to experience the house – but the collective has struggled to keep their built-on-ashoestring attraction open and functioning without funders. This documentary valiantly attempts to limn the birth and growth of the House – complete with a deus ex machina in the form of, of all people, George R.R. Martin. After seeing the doc, you just might forgive the author for neglecting his day job … even an undead ice dragon can’t compete with a Meow Wolf, apparently. – Jessica Bryce Young 7:30 p.m. | various theaters | originstory.mw | $13.31

One of the can’t-miss releases of this spring’s Record Store Day was a deluxe reissue of Willie Colón’s 1971 masterpiece, La Gran Fuga, a defining moment for both New York’s pioneering Fania Records and the burgeoning Nuyorican Salsa scene, one in a string of peerless collaborative albums between Hector Lavoe (immortalized onscreen by Marc Anthony in the film El Cantante) and his musical foil Colón. It’s impossible to overstate the importance of trombonist, composer, arranger, producer and singer Colón to salsa music – whether on his own or in tandem with Lavoe or Rubén Blades or Celia Cruz – from the late 1960s until the present day. Colón has released an impressive stream of influential and vibrant albums like Cosa Nuestra, Celia and Willie, and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. This night is nothing less than a pilgrimage to witness a titan of dance music. – MM 8 p.m. | House of Blues, 1490 Buena Vista Drive | 407-934-2583 | houseofblues.com | $57.25

Raven MUSIC

Living musical connective tissue between the British NWOBHM (New Wave of British Heavy Metal) of the ’70s and the nascent thrash movement of the ’80s, England’s Raven are nearly as important to the heavier ends of metal as Mötörhead or Mercyful Fate. All three dealt in musical economy, and utterly unforgettable riffs and choruses, and all were very influential to the early East and West Coast thrash acts of the 1980s, particularly a certain breakout act called Metallica. Raven’s image was equal parts Mad Max and Slapshot as a nod to the physicality of their music. Album covers and band aesthetic blended the sublime and ridiculous, but who really cared if the cover art comes off dated when those streamlined outsider anthems are so goddamn catchy? They’re playing a last-minute show at Will’s with young up-and-comers Rhythm of Fear and Cave of Swimmers, so if you want to catch some living history and lose some hearing, there you are. – MM with Rhythm of Fear, Cave of Swimmers | 9 p.m. | Will’s Pub, 1042 N. Mills Ave. | willspub.org | $13-$15

Randy Rainbow Night Shift Orlando Museum of Art isn’t shy about calling its Night Shift party “an experiment,” but hopefully it’s one that bears interesting results. The gallery spaces get taken over with pop-up installations and exhibits while live experimental music is provided by Gay-Z and J.A.S.O.N. The cash bar is provided by the Guesthouse. Fair warning: You break it, you buy it. 7-11 p.m. Thursday; Orlando Museum of Art, 2416 N. Mills Ave.; $15; omart. org.

Randy Rainbow Shelling out the cash to see a popular web comedian can be a gamble; there’s no guarantee that what’s entertaining in a YouTube video will be as entertaining in person. But Randy Rainbow has proven that he has the performance chops to pull it off. His current schtick of taking popular showtunes and turning them into parodies that hilariously skewer politicians is the product of years of musical theater and comedy training that pays off in spades whether live or on the smallest of screens. 8 p.m. Thursday; Hard Rock Live, 6050 Universal Blvd.; $35-$45; hardrock.com/ orlando. God Is a Scottish Drag Queen Christmas Special Fringe favorite Mike Delamont, the Canadian comedian whose God Is a Scottish Drag Queen series of one-deity shows has left patrons in stitches year after year, returns to town this week for a special engagement. The Savoy hosts Delamont for a special Christmasthemed iteration of the show that promises to skewer everything from Brussels sprouts to the three wise men. 8 p.m. Thursday-Saturday; Savoy, 1913 N. Orange Ave.; $20-$25; mikedelamont.com.

Torque 19 Year Anniversary: Goldie Torque, the (mostly) weekly drum & bass night, turns 19 this week, and to celebrate in proper style, they’ve brought in one of the few true superstars of the drum & bass scene, Goldie. Tickets are only available at the door, so get there early and plan how you’re going to ask Goldie to tell you who Banksy is. 9 p.m. Saturday; Iron Cow, 2438 E.

AAC Championship: Memphis vs. UCF S P O R TS

Home field advantage can go a long way in sports, but even the undefeated UCF Knights might have trouble taking advantage of it for this year’s American Athletic Conference championship game. In last week’s post-Thanksgiving “War on I-4” game against the University of South Florida Bulls, starting quarterback McKenzie Milton suffered a gruesome leg injury that ended his season. But naysayers also said that UCF couldn’t pull off another undefeated season this year after the loss of head coach Scott Frost, and newcomer Josh Heupel proved them wrong. And with an overall 11-1 record against Memphis – to say nothing of the record-breaking 24-game win streak the Knights are still on – anyone betting against UCF at this point must love losing. – Thaddeus McCollum 3:30 p.m. | Spectrum Stadium, 4465 Knights Victory Way | ucfknights.com | $25-$565

NOV. 28-DEC. 4, 2018 ● ORLANDO WEEKLY

B Y D A N S AVA G E I’m a 30-year-old, Asian American, heteroflexible cis woman. I’m also newly diagnosed with bipolar II. I’m on medication – the doctor is trying to figure that out – but no talk therapy for right now, as my last therapist wasn’t great and I haven’t managed to find a new one. My question for you is regarding the relationship between bipolar and kink. One of the common symptoms of the manic stage of bipolar is “risky sex.” I equate risk with “likely to blow up one’s personal or professional life” and have always answered “no” to that question when asked by doctors. I’ve had the occasional hookup, but otherwise I’ve consistently had sex in the context of closed, monogamous relationships, i.e., the opposite of risky sex. However, it recently occurred to me that I’m fairly kinky (BDSM, role-play). Nothing I’d consider a varsity-level kink, but what do I know? I have out-there fantasies that are varsity-level, but I’ve never done them. Am I just bipolar and kinky? Are the two related somehow? Should I be concerned that I’ll go into a manic state and start enacting (or trying to enact) some of the varsity-level fantasies in my head? Kinky And Bipolar P.S. I asked my doctor this via e-mail, but I haven’t heard back yet and have no idea how sex-positive he is. So I thought I’d get a second opinion. P.P.S. I’m currently manic enough that it’s hard for me to edit, so there may be weird/ confusing shit in my letter. Sorry for that! “I’d like to congratulate KAB for seeking help and for the work she’s doing to get stable,” says Ellen Forney, author of Rock Steady: Brilliant Advice From My Bipolar Life, an award-winning self-help guide to maintaining stability, and the best-selling graphic memoir Marbles: Mania, Depression, Michelangelo & Me. “I’d also like to welcome KAB to BIPOLAR! Toot! Toot! Confetti!” The specific manic-stage symptom you’re concerned about – engaging in super risky sex – is called “hypersexuality,” and it’s what happens when the extremely poor judgment match meets the supercharged libido gas. “But it’s only ‘hypersexuality’ when it gets in the way of a reasonably well-functioning life,” Forney says. “Picture masturbating all day instead of going to work, or having relationship-wrecking affairs or unprotected sex with strangers.” If your diagnosis is correct and you have bipolar II and not bipolar I, KAB, you may be less susceptible to out-of-control hypersexuality. “Strictly speaking, a bipolar II diagnosis means she cycles between ‘hypomania’ (mild mania) and depression,” Forney says, “so her highs aren’t going to be as acute as they would be for someone diagnosed with bipolar I, where hypersexuality can really get dangerous.” Forney warns that misdiagnoses are not uncommon where bipolar is concerned, so 50

you might want to get your diagnosis confirmed. But your long-standing kinks all by themselves – varsity and otherwise – aren’t necessarily related to your condition, KAB, and so long as they’re safely expressed and explored, you aren’t doing anything unreasonably risky or wrong. “Kinky sex in itself doesn’t count as symptom-worthy risky sex – no matter what her doctor e-mails back,” Forney says. “Like for anyone else, there’s nothing necessarily wrong with feeling uninhibited enough to pursue varsity-level kinks, so long as they’re not putting her or anyone else in danger. Ultimately, KAB’s goal is to be stable enough to trust her judgment. For now, she might weigh the risks while she’s feeling stable, so she can make some levelheaded decisions about what might or might not be too risky.” Forney also recommends having a discussion with your partners and friends about what your limits are – a discussion you’ll want to have when you’re not horny or manic or both. “That way, her partners and friends can help her recognize if she’s crossing her own lines,” Forney says. “And realizing that she’s suddenly tempted to cross her own lines could be a signal to her that she’s getting hypomanic and needs to take steps to stabilize – steps like getting better sleep, adjusting her meds and others I explore in Rock Steady!” P.S. If your doctor won’t answer your sex questions – or only gives you unhelpful, sex-negative, kink-shaming answers – find yourself a new doctor. P.P.S. There are letters I have to read three times before I can figure out what the fuck is going on. Your letter was as lucid as it was charming. P.P.P.S. Therapists across the country are recommending Rock Steady to their patients with mood disorders, and Forney won a Media Partner Award from the National Alliance for Mental Illness for her work on Rock Steady and Marbles. If you haven’t already, KAB, please pick up Forney’s books. You’ll benefit from her insights, her advice and her coping strategies. And thanks to Forney’s art and sense of humor, both books are a delight to read. I am 36 and female, and I’ve been with my current boyfriend for seven years. We were friends for four years before we started dating. He is very slow at making decisions and not a risk taker, and I am somewhat opposite. I think there are times when you have to take a leap of faith, and if it turns out it was a mistake, you learn and grow from it. We lived together on his family’s property the first six years after I moved to his hometown. He’s waiting in hopes that the property gets handed down to him. I don’t live my life in hopes that something will happen that’s out of my control, so I purchased my own home. He moved in. We have not split all costs in

“ S H A K E T H AT M O O D Y ” ” half because he said he needs to take care of the other home. It’s been six months, and I’m growing impatient for him to commit. We’ve had several conversations, and I’ve given him until the end of the year to decide if we should go our separate ways. I said if we are going to be together, we need to be a team and support each other. He was actually taken aback because he thought we were doing fine. One thing he said made me question it all. He said, “I feel that you’re supposed to know and have this feeling when you’re ready to move forward to be with a person forever.” I was so confused by that comment. My friends say it can’t only be me who wants this; he has to want it, too. Is it time for me to just move on? Mulling Over Very Emotional Options Now Move on, MOVEON, but keep an open mind. Seeing you move on may help your boyfriend realize he does want to be with you forever – it’ll help him “know” – and if you haven’t realized in the interim that you don’t want to be with him, you can move back in (and move on) together down the road. But unless inheriting the family property is a sure thing – a sure thing you’ll both benefit from in the long run – he needs to pay his fair share. No more freeloading. Why should I, a feminist, be OK with drag? How is it any different than blackface? Tough Question Drag can be sexist, TQ, but it doesn’t have to be. And when done right, it isn’t. Blackface is always racist. Drag celebrates the craft of hyperfeminine presentation. Drag demonstrates that so much of what we think of as “naturally” feminine is not just a social construct, but quite literally a construction. Drag has the power to explode sexism, to expose it, by complicating people’s preconceptions and misconceptions about what it means to be a woman. Blackface can only reinforce and amplify racism.
