Viacom networks donate big to save Florida felons’ voting rights, Florida sports bar bans masks and other news you may have missed »

Cable networks join effort to aid Florida felons voting effort: An effort to pay court-ordered costs for felons who have served their

time behind bars is getting a $250,000 boost from MTV, VH1 and Comedy Central, the cable networks announced last week. The money will go to a “Fees and Fines” fund created by the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition in response to a controversial state law requiring felons to pay court-ordered “legal financial obligations” to be eligible to vote. The donation by ViacomCBS, the parent company of the networks, came soon after the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the 2019 state law, which was aimed at carrying out a 2018 constitutional amendment that restored voting rights to felons “upon completion of all terms of sentence including parole and probation.” Voting-rights groups that challenged the law alleged that linking voting rights and finances amounts to an unconstitutional “poll tax.” Felons face an Oct. 5 deadline to register to vote in the November presidential election. Lawyers and other advocates have lined up to help but are encountering problems such as incomplete, inaccurate or contradictory records when they try to ascertain how much felons owe and how much they’ve paid.

Florida bar bans customers from wearing masks: Despite Florida registering 3,255 new coronavirus cases and 147 deaths recently, a Florida bar is now kicking out customers who want to wear face masks. Calling it a “security issue,” the West Melbourne bar Westside Sports Bar and Lounge recently instituted a ban on face masks. So far, the decision to ban masks has created a slew of mixed reviews on Westside’s Facebook business page. While some call Kirby a “patriot,” others say the bar is “run by covidiots.” The bar has also been accused of racism. In one exchange with a Facebook commenter asking why they prohibit masks, the business replied: “We have had zero cases of the china virus here at the establishment and capitalize on bringing normalcy to the world as we know it.”

Florida Sens. Rubio and Scott push to expand daylightsaving time: Florida’s U.S. senators are making a new push for year-round

daylight-saving time, this time tied to the coronavirus pandemic. Two years after backing a state legislative effort to put Florida on year-round daylightsaving time, Rubio and Scott introduced a bill to skip the change to standard time this fall across the country. The Republican senators said in a news release that the intent is to provide “one year of stability for families who are already dealing with … disruptions the COVID-19 pandemic has placed into our daily lives.” To try to move the new proposal forward, Rubio plans to use a procedure that would skip the Senate Commerce Committee and place the measure on the Senate Calendar. The idea of year-round daylight-saving time has been promoted as a way to help Florida’s tourism industry. Daylight-saving time this year ends Nov. 1 and restarts March 14, 2021.

Florida COVID-19 deaths higher among minority children: A new federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study shows that Hispanic, Black and American Indian/Alaskan Native children accounted for 78 percent of COVID-19 pediatric deaths. Also, 75 percent of the children who died had at least one underlying medical condition. The report is based on information that 47 health jurisdictions, including the Florida Department of Health, submitted to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The analysis reviewed 121 deaths, with 12 percent of the cases meeting the definition of MIS-C, or multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children. Ten percent of the pediatric deaths were in infants under age 1. Twenty percent were in children ages 1 to 9. Among the 121 young people who died, 63 percent were male, 45 percent were Hispanic, 29 percent were Black, and 4 percent were American Indian or Alaskan native. orlandoweekly.com

¶ Russian malware in Florida’s voting systems? In Bob Woodward’s latest book, Rage, we learn that “in late July 2018, just weeks after the Trump-Putin meeting [in Helsinki],” Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats convened a classified briefing to President Trump by the directors of the FBI, NSA and CIA, in which the NSA and CIA reported: “evidence, highly classified, that the Russians had placed malware in at least two counties in Florida – St. Lucie County and Washington County. There was no evidence that the malware had been activated. It was sitting there to be used.” The voting vendor used by Florida was used by state election registration systems all around the country. The Russian malware was sophisticated and could be activated in counties with particular demographics. For instance, in areas with higher percentages of Black residents, the malware could erase every tenth voter, almost certainly reducing the total vote count for Democrats. The same could potentially be activated to reduce Trump votes in Republican districts. Floridians today need assurance that no malware currently resides on voter registration servers anywhere in the state and that authorities are confident that manipulation of voter rolls is unlikely to succeed – even in counties with small populations and meager budgets for election security.

‘GOP INTEGRITY’

Since we are right now being warned (by FBI Director Wray) that disinformation efforts are ongoing and intense, it is reasonable to suppose that attempts to interfere with registration and vote recording have not simply been abandoned. Can we at least know that our intelligence agencies are confident that those efforts are being thwarted? Can our intelligence agencies – not the White House or William Barr, please – assure us that our voter registration and the counting of our ballots are, at the present moment, secure? The fact that they are warning us about disinformation but refraining from even mentioning infrastructure security is, let’s say, a tad unsettling. – Lyman Baker, Orlando

¶ Millennial voters, time to step up The youngest of my generation are now in their mid-20s. We must finally drop the “Lazy Millennial” moniker that has plagued our generation. We lived through 9/11, watched the job market crumble, and dealt with the challenges of climate change that bookmarked our generation. With these as our collective past, what will define our future? Young people are currently the largest votingage population with the lowest turnout rates of any age demographic. That is why I am involved with Student PIRGs. As Millennials, it is our responsibility to be an example to those

BY CLAY JONES

that come after us. That is, to help the younger generation find their voice as we have, and part of that is helping them embrace the importance of voting. I want to make sure my fellow students and new voters from every generation have the tools necessary to make their voices heard; more so, the confidence to do so. Florida PIRGs is reaching out to over 12,000 students to make sure their voter registration is up to date using our safe online voter registration tool, studentvote.org. If you or someone you know needs to register or reregister, studentvote.org can help! Young people have every right to get involved and make their voices heard. Let’s give them a hand. – Richard Lopez, Florida PIRG Students

¶ U.S. must fight COVID in developing nations Everyone in the United States had felt the impact of COVID-19 this past summer. While there still needs to be measures taken at home to end the spread of the disease, we must start looking towards aiding other countries in their efforts as well. There is a misconception that some developing countries, like those in Africa, do not need foreign aid in relation to COVID-19 because they are reporting fewer cases. This is actually a result of the insufficient amount of testing in Africa. Many of the countries in Africa also lack the proper healthcare systems to combat the COVID cases. Most hospitals are unprepared and lack the proper resources and staff to help with a surge of cases. The effects of COVID-19 also create a risk of major interruptions to food supply chains in low-income net-food importing countries like Sub-Saharan Africa. This adds hunger to the growing list of problems that Africa has faced because of COVID-19. It is time for well-developed countries to start taking responsibility and make efforts to help prevent the continued spread of COVID-19 to other countries. That is why it is important for Central Florida’s citizens to contact their senators to support at least $20 billion in the next emergency supplemental for the International Affairs Budget to fight COVID-19. This funding requests global health pandemic response, emergency economic relief and humanitarian assistance, and ongoing frontline operational responses. This funding is essential in combating the COVID-19 pandemic from spreading globally and further harming developing countries. – Pia Rodriguez, Windermere, Borgen Project Ambassador orlandoweekly.com

TOTAL WAR

It’s time to recognize Mitch McConnell’s thirst for power for what it is – a war against America – and fight accordingly BY JEFFREY C. BILL M A N

The most quintessentially feckless

“The Democrats!™” reaction to Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death Friday night came from – who else? — Chuck Schumer, who tweeted the same words Mitch McConnell used four years ago to justify refusing Merrick Garland a vote (The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president”), as if pointing out hypocrisy would shame McConnell into doing the right thing. One hour and four minutes later, Mitch McConnell confirmed what we already knew: He doesn’t care about hypocrisy, and he has no shame. In a Friday night memo to his caucus (concluding line: “President Trump’s nominee will receive a vote on the floor of the United States Senate”), McConnell halfheartedly split hairs, pretending there was a principled reason to sideline Garland but ram through whatever Federalist Society ghoul Donald Trump thinks might save him from federal prison. No one believes that, of course. McConnell’s principles always begin and end with power. And despite the performative hand-wringing we’re about to witness, his caucus – cowed by (or in thrall to) a party that’s effectively become an authoritarian personality cult – will be with him when it matters. Don’t imagine otherwise. Keep your eye on the ball. Ignore the logic pretzels sycophants like Lindsey Graham will contort themselves into to rationalize the categorical statements they made four years ago. (“I want you to use my words against me. If there’s a Republican president [elected] in 2016 and

a vacancy occurs in the last year of the first term, you can say Lindsey Graham said let’s let the next president, whoever it might be, make that nomination.”) Ignore, too, faux-institutionalists like Chuck Grassley, who said in July that if he were still chairman of the Judiciary Committee, he wouldn’t hold hearings, but that’s Lindsey Graham’s job now, so what can you do? And ignore the pathetic desperation of Cory Gardner, the cravenness of the never-elected Martha McSally and Kelly Loeffler, and the convenience of Susan Collins’s impending attack of “conscience.” None of it matters. You can’t shame the shameless. The ruthless only care about winning. Complaining about rules and norms and fairness and hypocrisy might produce knowing nods from Beltway pundits, but it will also lead to an activist Supreme Court that overturns Roe and the Affordable Care Act, rolls back LGBTQ rights, eviscerates environmental regulations, shreds voting protections, and shrugs when the Department of Homeland Security declares Black Lives Matter protesters antifa terrorists and begins summary executions. This is total war. Recognize it for what it is, and fight accordingly. That’s the only chance we’ve got. We know what’s about to happen: Trump will soon make a nomination, and McConnell will decide whether to rush it through before the election or in the lame duck. Each carries risks. Do it before, and you’ll gin up the religious right, but Trump’s troubles with suburban women will multiply exponentially, probably eliminating whatever chances

McSally, Collins and Gardner have left, and maybe taking down Joni Ernst and Thom Tillis, too. So you get the Supreme Court seat but lose the Senate. Punt, and your vulnerable senators can demur until after the election. But if Republicans lose, the optics of a lame-duck confirmation could be generationally ruinous. Besides, Collins and Lisa Murkowski have already said the next president should get the nomination, and Mitt Romney might follow suit. If McSally loses what is technically a special election in Arizona – as seems likely – Mark Kelly will be sworn in within weeks, giving Republicans a very short window before Democrats have enough votes to reject the nominee. So McConnell will probably take the bird in hand. Trump is pushing for a quick confirmation, after all. More important, McConnell knows the Senate is a coin flip and Trump is an underdog. Why chance it? There’s another, more sinister reason for the urgency. As quickly made the rounds on Fox News and among rightwing pundits the night Ginsburg died, Republicans are publicly fretting over the possibility that an eight-member Supreme Court could deadlock over a contested election, creating a constitutional crisis. Naturally, this didn’t bother them in 2016. But this year, Trump’s path to victory almost invariably involves asking judges to disqualify enough absentee ballots in key states to secure an Electoral College majority. Apparently, they believe it would be less of a constitutional crisis for Trump’s newly minted justice to cast the deciding vote to disenfranchise thousands and award him the White House. I’m not sure they’ve thought that through. Something else to consider: When this nominee is confirmed, a majority of the court will have been appointed by Republican presidents who lost the popular vote. At least three will have been opposed by senators who represented overwhelming majorities of the population. If Trump wins, he will probably do so again without popular legitimacy, meaning that while the Democrat received more votes in seven of the last eight elections, the Republican “won” four of them. As I said, this is total war. And the only way to fight a total war being waged to prop up a privileged, shrinking minority is with a cleansing fire of democracy. Indeed, the threat of actual majoritarian rule might be the only thing that keeps McConnell from crossing the Rubicon. The prescription is simple enough (to be clear, I didn’t invent it): Democrats should announce that if McConnell moves ahead with hearings, they’ll spike the continuing budget resolution the House planned to vote on this week and shut down the government, object to unanimous consent requests and use every other procedural tool at their disposal to gum up the works. And if they win the White House and Senate, they’ll immediately kill the filibuster, make Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C., states, add 150 or so seats to the House of Representatives (a long-overdue fix) and then add four seats to the Supreme Court so President Biden can stack the bench for the next 50 years. After that, they’ll pass robust voting-rights protections and ban partisan gerrymandering, then push through an aggressive agenda of health care and climate change reforms that Republicans will have no way to stop. Of course, if McConnell backs down, Democrats should do it anyway. But let’s keep that to ourselves for now.

NEW NE WS

SLOWLY Support for Joe Biden among Hispanic Florida voters could be stronger, and Latinx community leaders are calling for action BY L ILLIA N HERN Á N D EZ C A R A BA L LO

In a chaotic year, the 2020 general

election is being called the most important election of our lifetimes, and politicians are looking to gain favor with a new voice of participation at the polls. The Latino vote is no doubt a coveted asset in this race. Hispanics currently make up over 18 percent of the U.S. general population, making them the largest minority and the fastest growing minority group in the country. In Florida alone, over 27 percent of our residents are Hispanic. Presidential candidate and former Vice President Joe Biden paid a visit to Kissimmee’s Puerto Rican population last week to kick off Hispanic Heritage Month. The event was private, invitation-only, in keeping with social distancing guidelines. He was greeted by prominent Puerto Rican celebs Luis Fonsi, Eva Longoria and Ricky Martin. Fonsi, the singer-songwriter best known for his global hit song “Despacito,” introduced Biden. “Despite everything we are facing, I still have hope, but I would be lying if I didn’t recognize that this is one of the most difficult periods in this country’s history,” Fonsi said. “While I am confident that Joe will have our backs, I am also confident he needs us.” Though recent polls show Biden leading among Hispanic Florida voters 58-32 percent, President Donald Trump has gained marginal favor with the demographic over the last four years. While Biden’s 26-point lead may seem comfortable, it trails behind Hillary Clinton’s numbers in 2016. At this point in the 2016 election, Clinton led by 11 points more than Biden does now, but still lost the state. Puerto Ricans make up over 1.2 million Florida residents, as the Sunshine State saw an influx of newcomers in 2018 and 2019 after Hurricane María devastated the island in 2017. In his speech, Biden said it’s clear how much “we rely on people with Hispanic roots to keep our country running.” “So many of our front-line workers are Hispanic,” Biden said. “We don’t just need to thank them, we need to pay them and treat them with dignity. [...] And to make sure we’re giving Hispanic Americans the support and respect they need at all times, we need to change our attitudes.” Biden has endured harsh criticism from opposition regarding the Obama administration’s handling of the immigration issue. President Obama is often mocked as the “Deporter in Chief,” being accused of first “throwing children in cages” and deporting more immigrants than any other president. But these claims are half-truths. While it is true that children were detained during the Obama administration, critics fail to contextualize that they were all

unaccompanied minors and that detention centers were then complying with the mandatory 72-hour holding period, after which the children went to the Department of Health and Human Services, which found them placement in shelters and homes. The deportation numbers are also out of context. Deportation in the U.S. is divided into “returns” and “removals.” Returns turn people away at the border; removals move them out of the country. While the Obama administration had a rise in returns, it had a lower removal count than the Bush administration, which had a lower count than Clinton’s. The Obama administration focused on returns to avoid an “open border” issue and focused its removals on new arrivals. The administration thought it more humane to send people away who had only been in American for a few days or weeks than people who had already been here for years. For those who remained in the States, the Obama-Biden administration was steadfast in efforts to establish both the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act and the Deferred Action on Childhood Arrivals, or DACA. The former provided financial relief and support for education and citizenship, as well as a right to work to the children of immigrant families. DACA shielded from deportation younger immigrants brought here by their parents. Before the event in Kissimmee, Rep. Carlos Guillermo Smith met with Martin and Fonsi at the Pulse Memorial in Orlando. The artists stopped there first to visit the site and pay their respects to the 49 mostly Hispanic and LGBTQ victims. A large portion of the victims were Puerto Rican. Smith says that being able to elevate Biden’s message with high-profile celebrity endorsements is important and sends a powerful message. Especially with Martin, he says, who is politically engaged and beloved by his community, and was also present at the protests of the summer of 2019, when hundreds of thousands of Puerto Ricans occupied the streets of their capital for weeks to depose their ex-governor, Ricardo Rosselló. “Puerto Rican voters are very distrustful of lying politicians like Trump. They are exhausted of the lies and the insults,” Smith said. “Last year they took to the streets to oust Rosselló – tired of the corruption, the criminal behavior, and the hypocrisy – and now they have the same opportunity to denounce Trump, to use their voice, and all they have to do is vote.” Smith points out that for many Puerto Rican voters in Florida, this will be their very first chance to cast their ballot in a presidential election. Puerto Rico, though an

American territory, does not participate in the presidential vote. However, once the American citizens who live there take residency in any one of the 50 states, they are immediately eligible to register. “And I can see that they’re energized because for so many Boricuas who moved to Florida since the last presidential election, many after Hurricane María, this is the first chance they have ever had in their entire lives to vote for the President of the United States,” Smith said. “For once, they have that power.” Jerick Mediavilla, the representative’s husband, is one of those voters. The Puerto Rican educator and activist moved to Florida in November of 2016, shortly after the general election, and has lived here ever since. In Puerto Rico, after turning 18, Mediavilla voted and participated all his life in local politics, but now at 38 he says he gets goosebumps at the mere thought of casting his ballot. “We don’t have that [American] representation in Puerto Rico, so to me this is very moving,” Mediavilla said. “I feel like I am voting for the first time because I have never had this particular opportunity before. For the first time, I feel heard. I feel like people are actually listening to the Hispanic community.” Echoing a sentiment expressed by actress Eva Longoria at the event, Mediavilla says increasing Hispanic participation in elections is not about helping Democrats or Republicans, it’s about preserving the truly representative process of American democracy, something he feels is in grave danger. “Even if the result is not in our favor, the fact that people participated is what makes a democracy great,” Mediavilla said. “That’s what at stake here. We don’t want someone who echoes a dictatorship. We need someone who understands what he is doing and who he is working for.” Martin, who’s been an outspoken supporter on social media, often tweeting the hashtag #VoteBidenHarris, also spoke at the event, saying that Biden is a man of character and unity. “He believes his family and mine are more similar than different,” Martin said. “He believes everyone has a place in this country, no matter where you were born, what you look like, or who you love.” The artist also said Biden is ready to protect Puerto Ricans everywhere and offer much-needed relief to the island. “He’s ready to work for us,” Martin said. “A president who will respect the dignity of the Puerto Rican people. A president that has a plan to provide relief from unsustainable debt that is holding our economy back.” Though Biden’s visit has been criticized by many on social and mainstream media as a desperate move or even pandering, Mediavilla says he doesn’t see it that way. “If anything, I think this gesture underscores his commitment to recognize minorities,” Mediavilla said. “As much as other Republican leaders want to disenfranchise and dismiss our community, we are a 1.2-million-strong population of Puerto Ricans. We are a country within a state, and that is something the Biden campaign does not want to take for granted.”

Peterbuilt, Dragbody, History, Vostok, Resident Weirdo and Hurrah) – the list is seemingly endless. It’s what makes Will’s a living – and live – Orlando music hall of fame.

The benefit shows

Beyond the concerts and revelry, the true measure of Will’s Pub’s profound place in the community are the many benefit shows it has hosted.

25 unforgettable

moments from 25 years of the indomitable Will’s Pub By Bao Le-Huu

I

n both legacy and longevity, few Orlando cultural institutions are as certifiably legendary as Will’s Pub. From outlying upstart to the epicenter of the city’s most colorful neighborhood, this long-running Mills 50 flagship has exerted an influence on Orlando’s nightlife and music scene that’s remained pace-setting since the mid-1990s. This month, Will’s Pub notches a historical 25th birthday. Counting memories from a place like Will’s is a tricky undertaking. First, there’s sifting through the sheer volume of them over the years. Then, qualitatively, it’s like having to pick favorites between your children. And then, finally, there are all the drinks that attended those memories. So for this big anniversary, here are 25 memories that still shine through the blur of insanity. Thanks for each and every one of them, Will’s.

Send-off of Will’s Loch Haven Pub

Bittersweet though it was, the month leading up to the untimely closing of the original location of Will’s Pub in the summer of 2006 was an almost unprecedented rally of love and support. The procession of events included community-driven benefit shows for a new location (including a joint cross-publication one organized by Jason Ferguson when he was OW’s music editor/columnist and me when I was still with Orlando CityBeat) and closing blowout performances by owner Will Walker’s favorites, Lucero and Bob Log III. The final days saw a Berlin Wall-like public rush to grab a piece of the hallowed venue before it was razed. (The band sticker-plastered men’s room mirror – seen on this week’s cover – still sits in my house.) Although this was the close of a seminal chapter, it was a historical testament to the impact of Will’s Pub on the scene. 12

Opening of the new Will’s Pub After all that impassioned community mobilization, it would be an agonizing two whole years of false starts before Will’s Pub rose from the ashes in November of 2008. Oh, but what a phoenix the current location would become now that the pioneering soul of Mills 50 had reopened right in its heart.

Opening of Lil Indies

Not only did this sister bar become the first permanent expansion in 2012 that paved the way for Will’s to become the beloved social compound we now know, but it’s become a spot for magic moments of its own. Indies has been the scene for exceptionally close encounters with notable national names like the Posies’ Ken Stringfellow and the ever-wild Peelander-Yellow. But it’s better known for the frequent residencies by homegrown beacons like Eugene Snowden’s Ten Pints of Truth, Kaleigh Baker and GWADCIP$, as well as out-of-town artists who’ve just adopted Will Walker’s establishments as a second home, like Knoxville’s Matt Woods.

Will’s goes full liquor

As fun as it was to be whisked off-site by Will himself for whiskey shots at the original Wally’s or the Peacock Room, it was a game-changer when Will’s Pub and Lil Indies went full liquor in 2014, ushering in a whole new level of cocktail and craft to the compound.

The reunion shows

Will’s Pub has been the site for more notable local reunion shows than any other venue in the city. My Hotel Year, Pilots vs. Aeroplanes, Obliterati, the Delusionaires, Bughead, Kow – even a whole weekend of Orlando reunions for the venue’s 19th anniversary (including

ORLANDO WEEKLY ● SEPT. 23-29, 2020 ● orlandoweekly.com

Whenever a member of the scene has been hit with misfortune (Michelle Widmer, Bryan Raymond and Katie Ball, among others), Will Walker opens the doors and lights up the stage for their relief. That heart extends even to all manner of solid local causes, like a benefit for Back to Nature Wildlife Refuge in 2011 where I, Walker and others sat in a dunk tank to help out the great local animal rescue.

The memorials

Will’s is the spot of choice for so many memorial events for fallen members of the local scene. Whether it’s Ralphfest, the Dave Gage tribute show, the posthumous Bobby Clock album release by Danny Feedback or just public remembrance gatherings for beloved departed like Matt Gersting, Mark Stokoe and Richard Sherfey, the Will’s compound has become a place of honor and healing. Be they celebratory or solemn, these affairs always reinforce just how deeply the Will’s complex is woven into the heart of the community.

The traditions

Throughout the years, Will’s Pub has been the natural hotbed for a long, thrillingly diverse list of hallowed local traditions including Southern Fried Sunday, Speakeasy, the Pauses’ annual 1990s revival parties, Mike Dunn’s Folk Yeah, Foreign Dissent, Field Trip South, the Grand Collab and Terribly Wrong.

The freak shows

Particularly noteworthy about the Will’s Pub ethos is that it’s always been a bastion of the weird and fucked-up. Its stage has been a glorious highway of illustrious geniusfreaks like Bob Log III, Blowfly, Hasil Adkins, Dolemite, Legendary Shack Shakers, Dwarves, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum and countless others.

The Sam Rivers shows

Unlike more formal performances by the late local jazz titan Sam Rivers, his incredible residency at the original

Will’s was like a series of garage sessions that showcased his dazzling virtuosity with more raw heat and proximity than anywhere else, cramming 16 players into the small music room of the old Pub.

room like a greased chainsaw with a blues-punk assault that made Jon Spencer look like Weird Al.

The early Lucero shows

Lucero’s road to becoming a standard-bearer in alternative country ran right through Orlando, where the Memphis band cut their early national teeth in a series of legendary marathon shows at the old Will’s Pub, averaging more than once a year by the mid-2000s.

The Immortal Lee County Killers

In the early 2000s, criminally overlooked Alabama band the Immortal Lee County Killers ripped through Will’s a couple of times. They nailed their kick drum directly into the stage, plugged in, and then cut into the

Fantasie

Hard-thrusting glam band Fantasie were one of the best Orlando bands of the early- to mid- 2000s, and their string of Will’s Pub shows were pure sex and rock & roll.

O’Death

Even before going on to release excellent albums on respectable labels like Ernest Jenning, Kemado and Northern Spy, New York gothic folk group O’Death conjured ghosts as an unknown band in 2006 with one of the most transfixing performances seen here to date.

Lightning Bolt

After packing the place to dangerous capacity in 2010, Rhode Island noise-rock gods Lightning Bolt jacked the room with a history-making load of electricity and delivered total sonic rapture. Before or since, Will’s Pub has never been mainlined quite like this.

Khann record release show

In the summer of 2011, Orlando progressive metal crushers Khann were riding high as a national name and releasing their best and final record Erode. The result was a beautifully punishing snapshot of local breakouts at the top of their game. Add in an all-out scorching performance by No Qualms and it was a hometown explosion for the books.

Floor reunion

When mythical 1990s Miami doom-sludge band Floor came through in 2012 on their reunion tour, it was a triumphant, dome-flattening instance of a great band finally getting their due propers on a night heaving with Florida music history. They reunited for good the next year and dropped the best work of their career the year after that with the 2014 magnum opus Oblation.

Beach Day

South Florida garage-pop band Beach Day utterly wowed with a crackling first encounter at Will’s in the summer of 2012. But that wasn’t the night’s only revelation. Lio Cerezo – the boss of tastemaking Brooklyn label Kanine Records and an Orlando boy – told us later at the bar that he had just signed them.

Big Freedia

If you know the music of bounce supernova Big Freedia, then you know how hard a party can smack. Well, her live twerk carnival finally came to town in March of 2018 and popped off in a superhuman blaze of ass, sweat and abandon.

Fake Four gets local

Like all showcases for progressive national hip-hop label Fake Four, this one in the spring of 2018 was dazzlingly kaleidoscopic and forward-looking. L.A.’s Moodie Black were a total and brilliant shock to the system that unleashed a swallowing onslaught of industrialgrade noise rap in near-total darkness. Best of all, though, local rap dynamo E-Turn made her first hometown appearance as the newest member of the Fake Four roster.

Birdcloud

Be it Wheeler Walker Jr. or the Goddam Gallows, this pair of uproarious country-punk HBICs own a perfect streak in Orlando of completely dusting the headliners for which they’re opening. As history would have it, their last insane show at Will’s in September 2018 turned out to be not only one of their final ones but part of a Thelma and Louise blaze of glory that would

Benjamin Booker

In early 2014, this Tampa son played with zero fanfare to about a dozen people as an unknown opener, but Booker sizzled as a triple threat of soul, punk and blues. Fast forward less than eight months later and Booker returned as a headliner at the Social with one of that year’s best albums released on ATO Records, some touring with Jack White and appearances on late-night talk shows under his belt. But the fire of his performance at Will’s is what seared him into our consciousness.

Sarah Shook & the Disarmers

It may’ve only been to about a dozen people at first, but this fresh North Carolina country-rock band showed their buzz potential here in May of 2017 less than two weeks after debuting nationally on Bloodshot Records. It was a take-notice early-peek show that instantly declared Sarah Shook as one of the most gripping and real voices in country music today. That knock-down Orlando debut would lead to three appearances here in two years (all at Will’s Pub, unsurprisingly, with the last 2019 one before a packed house), showing a shooting outlaw star taking the same path up that Lucero and American Aquarium took to the prime time.

JPEGMAFIA

In February of 2018, this Baltimore rapper slipped into town mid-bill under headliner Milo. But his Ho99o9-esque punk intensity and biting pop-culture edge completely owned the show with a drenched, in-the-pit performance that had the room jumping and boiling over at fever pitch.

Acid Mothers Temple

When this legendary Japanese psych band came in May 2019, they fucking melted the walls with some of the deepest, heaviest, most primordial rock out there. Add in the extreme theater of Canada’s Yamantaka // Sonic Titan and the concentrated psych-rock of a refocused Timothy Eerie and this night was a portal to another dimension. music@orlandoweekly.com

BY SETH KUBERSKY

After closing down the Venue, Blue Star is now playing HAÖS on Church Street Among the simple pleasures 2020 robbed us of is

the freedom to casually drop by a friend’s house, grab a drink or a snack, and simply hang out. In this era of COVID, opportunities for such carefree socializing in private, much less in public, have been rarer than a blue moon, but one of Orlando’s favorite artist-entrepreneurs is attempting to bring them back. A year after shuttering her beloved Venue in Ivanhoe Village, Blue Star – the “godmother” of Central Florida’s burlesque scene and creative force behind the award-winning VarieTease – has finally broken her silence and staked her claim in a location I never would have expected. Recently, she gave me a construction tour of the venerable Church Street nightspot which will soon reopen as HÄOS (pronounced “house”), a new restaurant/club concept Blue hopes will become downtown’s home for local artists. In the months since the Venue was demolished, Blue has been quietly working behind the scenes on her new project. Now, she’s unveiled HÄOS on Church, her new collaboration with owner Gustavo Fonseca. The new venture combines a plant-forward Mediterranean “cuisinary” downstairs (featuring chefs Andrew Jones, Jennifer “Vedgechef” Calabria and Michael “Princess” Magonigle) with an entertainment space dubbed Upstairs @Blue’s HÄOS, which will become VarieTease’s home base and be available for bookings. As a veteran of fringey theaters, I didn’t expect to see Blue make a home in the middle of downtown’s recently rechristened “City District,” and frankly neither did she. “Every day I’m like, ‘What the hell am I doing downtown?’” she admits, but she admonishes fans to leave their judgment at the door, saying “I’m still the same person, I’ve just got a different project going on.” And despite her high-visibility new location, she hasn’t lost her sense of humor; Blue says HÄOS’ IKEA-esque spelling is all part of her plot “to reintroduce the umlaut into people’s vocabulary and daily life.” I’d never set foot inside the short-lived Lion’s Pride sports bar before Blue welcomed me in behind its paper-covered windows, but beneath the garish purple decor now being stripped away, I still recognized remnants of Phineas Fogg Balloon Works from the glory days of Bob Snow’s Church Street Station. HÄOS will retain the existing exposed brick but give it a gentle whitewash; paired with brass and black accents, it will create a “sleek, modern, simple” yet “homey” aesthetic that Blue calls “Atlanta grey.” It turns out that, after searching all over town for a new location, it was the block’s historic character that captured her heart. “The one thing that I always wanted was a building with the exposed brick, because it reminded me of Atlanta, and one of the few places in Orlando that you actually get that is Church Street,” says Blue. “I definitely want to make this feel a little bit more warm and inviting; a place for you to come and sit and chat with your friends safely, and just feel like you’re chilling at my house. I always say, if you’re gonna keep me from going back to Atlanta, then it better feel like Atlanta. So, I feel like this kind of this does.” The Lion’s Den’s cinema-style lounge chairs have been shoved aside, and the last signs of the second floor’s bookcase were being

ripped out as I arrived, to make way for a small stage that will host cabarets and other intimate shows. But one signature of the former occupant will stay: The supersized video screens overlooking the two-story flexible performance space will broadcast works by local performers like Tod Kimbro, who will host a weekly dueling pianos night that Blue calls “a nice homage to the history of Church Street, yet with a new feel to it.” Although many other familiar faces from the Venue may appear at HÄOS, Blue makes clear this new venture is no rehash, but rather her next step upward. “It’s not the Venue; it’s brought with the same love, but everybody needs to evolve and change,” she says. “The Venue was such a beautiful place for artists of all levels to come and find the stage for themselves [but] you’ve got to ‘level up’ at some point in time, and to survive here on Church Street you’ve got to give people that don’t know the Venue what they’re expecting. … Of course we still want to give people opportunities; I’m probably going to be just a little bit harder on them.” At the same time, Blue hasn’t forgotten the LGBTQ+ community that has supported her and she specifically doesn’t want her programming – including VarieTease “tiara” brunches on the weekends – to undermine her new neighbor, Hamburger Mary’s. “We just want to make sure that we play well with them across the street because they have been here for so long, they are friends of mine and I believe in them, and I want them to stay,” says Blue. “Hamburger Mary’s is very important to the street, so we want to do everything to lift up the business that we’re on the street with.” As we discussed her plans, we had a view of the former Floridabilt across the street, another ambitious entertainment project that posted “For Lease” signs only months after opening. Blue admits, “We understand downtown has its challenges right now,” but claims her partners are financially prepared to operate below 50 percent capacity (with social distancing) for the foreseeable future, and hopes free parking validation and a ride-share dropoff will improve the block’s accessibility. “You have a clean slate, this whole street is pretty much gone, so can we reinvent it?” asks Blue. “It just gives us a little hope; something to look forward to, something different.” That’s something I could definitely use right now. skubersky@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

It’s the dish that had us nodding while we ate it, and talking long after devouring it. As we moved on to a plate of Key lime pie ($6), we wondered how, with dishes this good, the Aardvark has gone virtually unnoticed for so long. Maybe they were making like their namesake critter and shying away from attention? We also wondered, more out of jealousy, why our respective neighborhoods didn’t have an Aardvark to patronize. Sure, the “gastropub” appellation has been widely appropriated, but the Aardvark embodies one in the truest sense of the word. “It’s like the Ravenous Pig inside a bottle shop,” said my dining comrade, and I emphatically concur. In fact, if they ever tire of the “Aardvark” moniker, the “Ravenous Earth Pig” would certainly be fitting.

Sue and Jason Chin, Good Salt Restaurant Group

tip jar BY FAIYAZ KARA OPENINGS The Monroe, a new restaurant by Jason and Sue Chin’s Good Salt group (The Osprey, Seito Sushi, Reyes Mezcaleria), will open on the ground floor of the Julian Apartments in Creative Village next year.

CLOSINGS Luma on Park has served its final meal, but chef/partner Brandon McGlamery says he’s confident Luma will land in a new location in Winter Park, though the name might change and the concept may be tweaked. “We’ll reassess the landscape, gather some ideas, and move forward from there,” says McGlamery … Roy’s Restaurant, Roy Yamaguchi’s mainstay in Dr. Phillips, has closed after almost 15 years.

Millie Bobby Brown and Henry Cavill in Enola Holmes PHOTO COURTESY NETFLIX

ON (small) SCREENS IN ORLANDO Streaming premieres you won’t want to miss by Steve Schneider PREMIERES WEDNESDAY: Enola Holmes – Did you know Sherlock Holmes had a teenage sister who was always struggling to crawl out from behind his shadow? OK, he didn’t. But it beats trying to get an audience interested in entirely new female characters who aren’t tied to established dudes, right? Millie Bobby Brown plays the title concoction, with Henry Cavill’s mustache as local color. (Netflix)

PREMIERES THURSDAY: Verotika – Rock goblin Glenn Danzig gets up on his tippy-toes and into our face with a self-written, self-directed trilogy of “erotic horror” stories. When the movie premiered at the 2019 Cinepocalypse festival, audiences laughed at it and critics compared it to the work of Tommy Wiseau and Ed Wood. See, this is the sort of thing that makes me want to pay for streaming, not Hamilton. (Shudder)

PREMIERES FRIDAY: Fandango at the Wall – Documentary cameras capture a joyous music festival that took place simultaneously on the San Diego and Tijuana sides of the U.S./Mexico border wall. “Hey, dude! Be a brah and toss over that hacky sack, yah?” (HBO Max) The School Nurse Files – This South Korean series follows a ghosthunting high-school nurse who has the ability to see “invisible blobs of greed.” Um, hello: They’re called the DeVos family, and we can see them too. (Netflix) Secret Society of Second-Born Royals – A bored teenager who’s second in line to the throne of a fabulous kingdom is recruited into an underground initiative to protect the world. And you thought Ivanka was kidding with that Find Something New jazz. (Disney+)

Sneakerheads – Ever wonder what happened to those kids who used to prize a new pair of sneakers above all else? They’re all grown up and the focus of a six-episode comedy series in which they try to make their undying obsession finally pay off. Well, the ones that didn’t get shot are, anyway. (Netflix) Utopia – Gone Girl author Gillian Flynn directs John Cusack and Rainn Wilson in an adaptation of the 2013 British series about a deadly pandemic that may have been foretold by a graphic novel. Hey, I have a hard enough time convincing people that Watchmen was a warning about Crocs. (Amazon Prime)

PREMIERES SUNDAY: The Comey Rule – While Jim Carrey is about to debut as SNL’s new Biden, his “Dumber,” Jeff Daniels, is playing James Comey in a fourhour miniseries. Showtime tried to keep this one under wraps until after the election, but negative publicity made them fast-track it instead. Gosh, you’d think it was a vaccine or something. (Showtime) Patria – Eight weekly episodes dramatize the effect the violent separatist group ETA had on the Spanish Basque Country over the course of 30 years. “Fun in spots, but thin on songs.” – Broadway World. (HBO Max)

PREMIERES MONDAY: Whose Vote Counts, Explained – The home stretch to the 2020 election coincides with the arrival of this docu-series that enumerates the myriad ways in which voters’ true preferences are suppressed. Not to be confused with Whose Vote Counts, Mansplained, which was a failed pilot for Chris Matthews. (Netflix) orlandoweekly.com

“MISSED CONNECTIONS” Married guy here. I’m 33, the wife is 31. Our fifth anniversary is next month, but we’ve been together for almost eight years. We’ve recently both come out to each other as bi. She tried to tell me a long time ago, whereas I came to the realization only recently. We’re both interested in new sexual encounters and this weekend we met up with a male escort. It was my first sexual experience with a man and the first sexual encounter between my wife and another man in eight years … and we found it lacking. It was too short and too impersonal. Is this how it usually goes with escorts? Should we have been more upfront with our interests ahead of time? We don’t want to keep spending the money if we’re not getting the experience we want. We need to stay fairly discreet for most of these encounters due to our careers. Appreciate any input. Basking In Confusion Over Underwhelming, Pitifully Lackluster Experience Some sex workers love their jobs, some don’t; some sex workers are good at their jobs, some aren’t. Sometimes a sex worker doesn’t click with a particular client for some ephemeral, hard-to-define reason; sometimes a client gives off a bad vibe – or a bad odor – and the sex worker bails or hurries things along. But here’s the thing, BICOUPLE: No sex worker can read minds. You tell me you’re wondering if you should’ve been “more upfront with [your] interests ahead of time.” If you left something important out when you made the booking, well, that could’ve been the problem. No sex worker likes having things sprung on them. A sex worker who doesn’t do kink is going to feel very uncomfortable if there’s a bunch of bondage gear laid out when they arrive; even a sex worker who does kink is going to feel uncomfortable if kink wasn’t discussed in advance. Similarly, BICOUPLE, if you didn’t explain to your sex worker that there were two of you, your sex worker might’ve felt uncomfortable when they arrived. If you weren’t clear about your wants and your sex worker didn’t ask or you couldn’t articulate them after he asked, you put your sex worker in the position of having to guess. And your sex worker may have guessed wrong – some clients prefer sex that’s impersonal or aggressive. And if your sex worker had a bad experience with a husband who got upset when his wife seemed a little too into him, he may have erred on the side of maintaining some emotional distance even as you got physically close. If what you wanted was a more intimate and connected experience, then you weren’t just expecting sexual labor from the sex 38

worker you hired, but his emotional labor too. While affection and intimacy can certainly be faked, we don’t typically expect a strong emotional connection when we’re hooking up with a stranger. Being sexually intimate can build that connection, but it can take a few meetings to get there. To avoid winding up in bed with another sex worker you don’t click with, I would advise you to take the time – and spend the money – to make a real connection. By which I mean: Go on a date. Find a sex worker you’re interested in and make a date – for dinner. Pay them for their time, pay for their meal and if you click, BICOUPLE, book them for a sex date. Straight man here, divorced four years ago, just entering my 50s. I recently expanded my dating app parameters to see everyone in my area. I wanted to check out the competition. I have a gay male friend who is in his 40s. Mr. Forties has a boyfriend of two years who is in his 20s. They are great together – they vacation together, they quarantined together, they worked on redecorating a home together, etc. The problem is I spotted Mr. Forties on several dating apps. It would have been perfectly acceptable for him to say, “none of your business” when I asked him why. Instead he told me they were old profiles, implying they pre-dated Mr. Twenties. But he lists pets on his profiles that he adopted a few months ago. I have a sore spot about this behavior because my ex-wife started “auditioning” my replacement before we filed divorce papers. What do I do? Confront Mr. Forties? Mind my own business and hope Mr. Forties doesn’t crush Mr. Twenties by cheating? Help! Fumbled Into Fraught Terrain Involving Expanded Search Maybe Mr. Forties and Mr. Twenties have an open relationship. Maybe they have a closed relationship but both regard flirting on dating apps as harmless. Maybe Mr. Forties was charged with finding a very special guest star for a threesome. Or maybe Mr. Forties has profiles on dating apps for the ego boost. If it was any of the above – if there was an innocent explanation – why did Mr. Forties go with “Those were old profiles,” instead of “We sometimes have threesomes”? Well, in my experience, FIFTIES, some straight people have a hard time wrapping their heads around the kind of non-monogamy practiced by most gay male couples. Hell, some closed-minded gay people have a hard time with it. I can imagine a scenario where Mr. Forties was honest with people in the past and got a bad reaction and consequently no longer feels safe – much less obligated – to

share the details of his sex life with straight or gay friends. So he gave you the answer a lot of straight people and some gay people prefer to hear when they ask pointed questions of partnered friends they assumed to be monogamous: “Of course I’m not sleeping around! Those were old profiles! My monogamous boyfriend would never want me to shove my monogamous dick down his throat while some other dude non-monogamously rearranges his guts! Heavens! We’re far too busy redecorating our lovely home to arrange threesomes! Which we’re totally not interested in having!” Look, FIFTIES, you put a question to Mr. Forties that he wasn’t obligated to answer at all, much less answer truthfully. So what do you do now? What you should’ve done when you first stumbled over Mr. Forties’ dating profiles: You do nothing. You drop it. Even if Mr. Forties is auditioning replacements for Mr. Twenties – even if he lied to you for any selfish, self-serving reason – it’s still none of your business. My boyfriend and I first heard the terms “sexual monogamy” and “social monogamy” on your podcast. They describe us: not sexually monogamous, but we present that way socially and most people in our lives assume we are. Including my mother. We’re both from very Republican families that struggled to accept us. My attitude is that if my brothers don’t have to tell our parents about their kinks, I don’t have to tell them about my mine. (Both of my older brothers have confided in me about their kinks, which I wish they hadn’t.) But it got back to me via my sister that my Trump-worshipping, Obama-despising mother only accepts me and my boyfriend because we are “good” gays. Good because we’re monogamous, like good straight people, and not promiscuous, like bad gay people. Now I feel like I should say something. But what? They Really Underestimate My Proclivities “Good people can be ‘promiscuous,’ Mom, and awful people can be monogamous. Take Donald Trump. That asshole has been married three times and cheated on every one of his wives. Barack Obama, whom you despise, has been married once and has never been caught cheating. Which means Obama either doesn’t cheat or, like everything else he’s ever done, from being someone’s husband to being our president, he’s better at it than Donald Trump.” On the Lovecast, learn a thing or two from power sub Lina Dune: savagelovecast.com mail@savagelove.net
