Just know exactly what you want to do for the rest of your life when you’re a teenager.

How hard is that?

A very real problem that precedes, and to some extent enables, the for-profit education swindlers is the horrid quality of high-school education in this country. (“Le Cordon Bleh,” Jan. 6) This is why there is no shortage of students, like the author, who are gullible enough to pay tens of thousands of dollars for education that brings little benefit and income. The victims of this scam lacked the criticalthinking ability and basic knowledge to recognize they were being duped. Fix the first diploma mills: the local high school.

In my case, it wasn’t my lack of critical thinking that got me suckered into going to a for-profit college; it was because I didn’t know that a college could be allowed to swindle me. As the first in my family to go to college for a major that is not found in most state colleges (fashion design), I had little choice but to go with the for-profit I went to. I was young and had been drilled my entire high-school experience that if I didn’t get a degree, I’d be a piece of broken human trash. I didn’t have someone to tell me, “Hey, maybe because you want to do a trade you should just take some sewing classes, read some books, and maybe blog, and probably be way better off.” I wasn’t an idiot; I was just passionate, scared and thought I could trust people who chose to educate.

Every person should know that of course colleges do not care about student loans and whether or not you should pay them back. Be smart and you will avoid the massive amount of debt that can pile up from attending college. I would also suggest that being indecisive about careers and college degrees can also make loans more constricting. Pick something and stick with it.

Orlando attorney Natalie Jackson says the Office of the State Attorney will not pursue criminal charges against Deidra Reid, a Valencia College student accused of resisting arrest in July after an argument with an Orange County Sheriff’s Office deputy.

Reid and her friend, Reginald Lane Jr., filed excessive force complaints against three OCSO deputies after a confrontation at the Retreat at Orlando apartment complex. Reid was visiting a friend at the complex and was trying to get into the clubhouse. A 9-year-old boy inside the clubhouse would not let her in, and after her friend opened the door for her, Reid told the boy he was rude.

The boy went to get his father, Orange County Sheriff’s deputy Sgt. Brett Parnell, who is a courtesy officer for the complex. After a heated exchange with Reid, Parnell called another courtesy officer for the complex, Richard Nye. When Reid, Lane and their friend tried to leave the complex, Parnell stopped them, and the confrontation escalated. More officers arrived, and Reid and Land were arrested.

“They attacked me, pushed me up against the fence and dropped me on the floor while sitting on my back,” Reid wrote in her excessive force complaint. “[They] twisted my shoulder out of place while I was already in handcuffs.” Lane says in his complaint that Deputy Kristine Helms kneed him in the groin during his arrest, and he was slammed into the car

by Nye, who was holding a “less lethal shotgun.”

Lane’s charges were dropped earlier last year and Reid’s were dropped in December. Jackson says her client has had to deal with medical bills and being jailed for something she should have never been arrested for in the first place. Jackson says they are considering a civil lawsuit.

“Just because her case was dropped does not mean this is over,” she writes in an email. “Of course, I’m happy for Deidra that her criminal case was dropped (and glad the state finally did the right thing), but I’m not happy at all about what the Orange County Sheriff Office, Officer Richard Nye and Officer Brent Parnell did when they conspired to ruin Deidra’s future (a very young college student who is just starting her independent life) or the long-lasting effects of what they have already done to her.” – Monivette Cordeiro mcordeiro@orlandoweekly.com

The legacy of Central Florida’s black press

By MoniVeTTe Cordeiro

H

was sent away, according to the stories, but he returned with a shotgun and later, a “band of enraged Negroes,” according to the Morning Sentinel. The newspapers reported that Norman visited Julius “July” Perry at the latter’s home, which was filled with armed African-Americans.

When the white citizens of Ocoee and surrounding areas went to arrest Norman, Perry was said to have shot at the crowd, killing two former soldiers and injuring others. During the fight, 25 homes, two churches and a lodge meeting hall in the black section of Ocoee were razed and an unknown number of black people were killed, according to the newspapers.

“It is declared that between 500 and 1,000 rounds of ammunition exploded in

ours after the flames had burned Ocoee to the ground and the town’s black inhabitants had fled for their lives into the darkness, Orlando’s daily newspapers churned out their version of what happened on Election Day 1920, in what later became known as the Ocoee Massacre.

“RACE TROUBLE AT OCOEE CLAIMS 2 WHITE VICTIMS,” reads part of a headline from the Orlando Morning Sentinel’s Nov. 3, 1920 edition.

The Morning Sentinel and another local paper, the Evening Reporter-Star, spun a similar tale about the day, which told of a black man who started a riot after he was refused the right to vote because he hadn’t paid his poll tax. The man, Mose Norman, 8

the church and in Perry’s house where the congregated and desperate blacks fought like demons,” the Morning Sentinel reported on Nov. 4, 1920. “Examination of the … destroyed negro houses revealed numerous firearms of large and small caliber.”

Perry was captured and taken to the Orlando jail, where he was forcibly removed from the custody of the authorities and lynched in downtown Orlando.

For a long time, this was the only local account of what had happened to Ocoee’s thriving black community. Then in 1989, Essence magazine published an article about the incident written by Zora Neale Hurston. The Eatonville author and journalist wrote her account of the event

in 1939, which she contributed to the Florida division of the Federal Writers’ Project, part of the Works Progress Administration. It was never published.

Hurston spins a political tale as well as one of heroism. Poor white Democrats resented the large number of Republican African-Americans who were voting that day and tried stopping them at the polls.

Norman was taking down the names of all the black people who had tried to vote, and the white people who had stopped them, when a shotgun was found in his car. Norman ran, and somehow word reached the white mob that he was hiding at the home of Perry, who was a prosperous farmer and contractor.

“So night dusted down on Ocoee, with

the mobs seeking blood and ashes and July Perry standing his lone watch over his rights to life and property,” Hurston wrote.

The only people inside the home with Perry were his wife and daughter. After the shooting was over, Perry’s wife tried to help him escape into a cane patch, but he was found and taken to Orlando. The Ocoee residents who had not escaped or hidden in the orange groves were shot and burned to death, the buildings consumed by fire.

“It was after sun-up when the mob stormed the jail and dragged him out and tied him to the back of a car and killed him and left his body swinging to a telephone post beside the highway,” she wrote. “That was the end of what happened in Ocoee on Election Day, 1920.”

The discrepancies between the two stories of the Ocoee Massacre were – and to some degree still are – typical when white, mainstream publications reported on black communities. According to the National Newspaper Publishers Association, a trade association for the 200 existing black newspapers operating in the United States, it was once customary for the white-owned press to malign the black community. So in 1827, a group of free African-Americans met to discuss the need for a publication that advocated against slavery and countered the onedimensional, racist narratives that were common at the time. That year, they founded the first African-American periodical in the country, called Freedom’s Journal.

“We wish to plead our own cause,” the Journal’s editors, the Rev. Samuel Cornish and John B. Russwurm, wrote. “Too long have others spoken for us. Too long has the publick been deceived by misrepresentations, in things which concern us dearly.”

Leading editors and contributors to the black press, like Frederick Douglass, Ida B. Wells, W.E.B. Du Bois and Langston Hughes, advocated against slavery, Jim Crow laws, lynching, and later on, segregation. For 126 years, black journalists like Zora Neale Hurston documented the joys and tribulations of black families, friends and neighbors living in Central Florida and beyond, capturing the humanity often ignored by mainstream publications that often used slurs and derision to describe black people. Local African-American newspapers provided a forum for discussion of the social, political and economic interests of the black community while also acting as a catalyst for progress in Orlando and nearby cities.

Headlines of today may differ, and

mainstream newsrooms are more diverse than ever, which may lead some to think there’s no need for publications that cater solely to African-Americans. Although the media market is constantly changing, and it can be a struggle for publishers to keep newspapers alive, there are still a handful of black newspapers operating in the Orlando area.

With smaller staffs and fewer advertising dollars, Central Florida’s black press delivers news for African-Americans beyond the “pathologies and exceptions,” as The Philadelphia Tribune managing editor Irv Randolph calls it, for a more complete and nuanced picture of everyday life in black communities. In other words, African-American communities still need the kind of voice that only the black press offers.

o

ver the past year, if you only read mainstream publications or watched local TV roundups, the news you probably heard about West Orlando painted it as an impoverished, crime-riddled blight holding back a city striving to be more than an international tourist destination. Briefs on juvenile shootings and sex trafficking, mixed with features about police brutality, dominated the narrative of neighborhoods like Pine Hills, Parramore, Washington Shores, Holden Heights, Callahan and the Mercy Drive Corridor. Black bodies lived and died, many shortchanged by drugs and violence.

However, if you happened to pick up a copy of the Florida Sun Review, Orlando’s oldest African-American newspaper, you’d have seen something different. You might have recognized that the black community in Orlando is interested in hearing about more than the latest crime stats and that it’s having its own dialogues about everything from economic development to personal achievement to politics. From a snug turquoise room in his home, Jim Madison, publisher of the Florida Sun Review, and his reporters clatter away at two computers, chronicling communities from Sanford to Kissimmee.

“We’re going to be occupied for a while with the election year coming up and the Republican field,” he says. “We’re getting more and more black Republicans, which I don’t think a lot of other black newspapers cover, but we do to be fair. The black community, like any other community, is not a monolith and those voices should also be heard.”

The weekly paper is distributed for free in African-American churches, restaurants, barbershops and salons. In December, the Review’s audience read

Park Company, Loring Chase and Oliver Chapman, wanted to incorporate Winter Park as a city. The white community in the area was opposed to allowing the black Republican population of Hannibal Square to become part of their community, but Henderson was not going to allow his community to be shut out. According to documents at the Hannibal Square Heritage Center, he successfully rallied African-Americans to march across the railroad dividing the two communities and vote to include Hannibal Square in Winter Park. The community also elected Walter B. Simpson and Frank R. Israel as the first two black representatives of Winter Park’s city government.

Knee-deep in local politics, Henderson decided to found the Winter Park Advocate in 1889, one of only two black-owned newspapers in Florida at the time. His publication was unique in that it was popular among black and white residents alike. He printed stories on the opening of the first school for black children in Hannibal Square, local elections and the nearby all-black town of Eatonville.

(Eatonville had its own newspaper, the Eatonville Speaker, which listed a “G.C. Henderson” as its business manager and called for black people to solve the “race problem” by moving to the town, says Scot

stories on the continuing case of Sandra Bland, local church and HBCU happenings, the Democratic Party’s treatment of Bernie Sanders, NAACP politics and the latest in African-American literature.

“The concept of a black press in America was started to tell stories from our own point of view,” says Madison, who took over as sole publisher of the Review in 2007. “If there was a murder, the mainstream press and TV would do stories just using the police report, so we would do more in-depth reporting. We felt they were not being told correctly, and the Florida Sun Review won awards because we pointed out some of those discrepancies.”

The tradition of providing a counterpoint to the mainstream media’s portrayal of black life in Central Florida began with one of Winter Park’s founders and the state’s first black traveling salesman, Gustavus Christopher Henderson.

In 1886, after he was fired from his sales job when his white colleagues complained to his employer that he was black, Henderson moved to Hannibal Square, an African-American community on the west side of Winter Park. There the 24-year-old started a general printing and publishing company, according to records from the Winter Park Public Library and Rollins College.

A year later, two men from the Winter orlandoweekly.com

French, director of public history at the University of Central Florida.)

Julian Chambliss, chair of Rollins College’s history department, says it was common in Southern cities to suppress the black vote through legal methods, such as the poll tax, literacy tests and redistricting, to more violent methods, like lynchings and mob violence. But in smaller towns like Winter Park, black and white residents could interact in a less intense environment, which is why Henderson’s paper was so successful – he could operate a newspaper for the entire community and still ensure that African-Americans had a voice in town.

“Henderson is active in a period where white Democrats are trying to push people out of the public sphere,” Chambliss says. “And he says, ‘No, I don’t want to be pushed out.’”

When the Advocate stopped publishing in 1891, Henderson moved to Orlando, where the lines of segregation were harder to push through. He started another black newspaper called The Christian Recorder, later known as just The Recorder, in which he published articles arguing in favor of better education and voting rights for African-Americans. It operated until his death in 1915.

After that, no known black newspaper published in Orlando until 1931, well after the Ocoee Massacre, when J. Lawrence Bowden and his wife Lena Cowan Bowden founded the Florida Sun. At one point, according to Madison, it was called the Florida Sun and Mirror before it joined with a bimonthly publication called the Orlando Review, and was renamed the Florida Sun Review. In 1945, Benjamin C. Hubert founded another black Orlando newspaper, the Central Florida Times, but it closed four years later, writes black historian and Florida Sen. Geraldine Thompson in her manuscript “Toward the Paved Road.”

Central Florida was a racial hotbed through the late ’40s and early ’50s. In 1949, the infamous case of the Groveland Four, in which four African-American men were wrongfully accused and later convicted of gang-raping a white woman in Lake County, made headlines. But those headlines were, according to a 2014 case study published by the John Jay College of Criminal Justice’s Center on Media Crime and Justice, markedly biased against the black defendants. In fact, the publication notes, “mob journalism” actually made media reports on the case into a tool for the prosecution.

Harry T. Moore, a member of the 10

orlando weekly ● JAN. 13-19, 2016

NAACP and a pioneer for civil rights in Florida, was involved with the case until he and his wife, Harriette Moore, were murdered by a bomb placed under their home.

Their murders were never solved.

The 1970s saw a small expansion in Orlando’s black press. While the Florida Sun and Mirror was being sold in 1975 and undergoing a name change, the Orlando Times was established in 1976 by four local professionals with no newspaper experience, says the son of one founder and the Times’ current editor, Kevin Collins.

“Incidents before the early ’70s caused the doctors and lawyers who started the paper to feel there was a void, a different side of the story not being told,” he says. “The coverage the black community was getting was not going to be fair coverage, so we needed to provide our own. … We became the voice, the eyes and the ears for our community.”

Both papers, like other black publications across the country, became staples in African-American cultural institutions. Aside from community news, the papers included various opinion columns, sports news, and national and international wire reports about black people from the National Newspaper Publishers Association.

Through the ’80s and ’90s, the Times published stories on the Rodney King case, President Ronald Reagan’s assault on affirmative action, a series on Orlando’s black pioneers and the Rosewood Massacre. In 1994, another black newspaper, the Central Florida Advocate, was started by the Rev. Kevin Seraaj and his partners.

As a young journalist in Orlando, Rebekah McCloud worked for both the Times and the Review before becoming an educator. The subjects she covered varied from the beginning of the city’s relationship with Disney to local officials like City Commissioner Nap Ford, but they always had one thing in common: They were told from a perspective that kept Orlando’s black community at the forefront.

“What I found was when other people told our stories, they focused on the violence, but black people exist beyond that,” says McCloud, who is now the director of the PRIME STEM project at UCF. “Writing for the black press gave me the opportunity to give a voice to my people.”

But does the black press truly play a vital role in the media landscape? Some say it’s outlived its usefulness. In his 2014 book, Whither the Black Press?: Glorious Past, Uncertain Future, author Clint C. Wilson II argues that a lack of resources and other factors have caused the influence of black newspapers to wane.

Unlike when the first African-American newspapers were founded to counter the skewed perspectives of all-white newsrooms, these days black reporters are part of the mainstream media, which has begun to focus on issues important to black Americans. In the last two years, for instance, the criminal justice department’s treatment of African-Americans has been front and center as major media outlets follow the cases of Bland, Mike Brown, Tamir Rice and more recently, Laquan McDonald.

“In the wake of the election of the first Black President of the United States it is possible the black press won the war for social equality it waged for more than 185 years,” Wilson writes.

w

hile most journalism students get angry comments or letters when they upset readers, Rhetta Peoples remembers when she worked for Florida A&M University’s radio station WAMF 90.5 in the early ’90s, people claiming to be with the Ku Klux Klan or other white supremacist groups would call the station and threaten to come by.

“We knew when our dean would get those calls because he would come in to the station, and you could see the fear on his face,” she says. “He would always tell us to never leave the station alone if it was after 5 p.m.”

But even after stints working in the mainstream press, Peoples kept coming back to black media. Currently she writes weekly opinion pieces and the occasional article for the Florida Sun Review. She also runs the blog “Being Black in Orlando” on hypeorlando.com, an online publishing platform created by the Orlando Sentinel.

“I kept jumping back toward the black press because there’s such a need there,” she says. “So much that happens in American politics is never covered from a person of color’s eyes. The mainstream

media doesn’t have enough black reporters to cover it from an inside perspective.”

More journalists of color are employed in newsrooms today than they ever have been before – 13.34 percent of newsroom employees were of a race other than white in 2014, compared to 3.95 percent in 1978, according to the American Society of News Editors census – but that’s still not representative of the fact that 37.4 percent of people in the United States are people of color.

LaFontaine Oliver, president of WMFE 90.7 FM and the Central Florida Association of Black Journalists, says black journalists bring the collective African-American experience to the forefront – a perspective that’s usually missing in most publications.

“It’s news that comes from a slightly different lens,” he says. “Part of what was talked about in the 1968 Kerner Report [a commission established to investigate the race riots that swept the United States in 1967] is that a lot of the views in the media came from a dominantly white male perspective. Whether it’s the black press or a columnist like Darryl Owens at the Sentinel, as a black journalist you bring that history that allows others to identify in a different way.”

Even when traditional outlets do hire black reporters or report on issues that are important to African-Americans, Sen. Thompson says, nothing can replace the role of stories published by outlets devoted solely to the black experience.

“I think a person working at an AfricanAmerican publication can probably relate to African-Americans in a different way, more sympathetic than the mainstream media,” she says. “You saw what happened with Hurricane Katrina. The images the mainstream media projected were of people looting and engaging in illegal activities when in fact things were very different. Those projections endanger young African-American men, because they’re portrayed as anti-social, dangerous and threatening, and some law enforcement, and the George Zimmermans of the world, react based on that.”

That doesn’t mean it’s easy. Just like mainstream media outlets, members of the black press are faced with the challenge of competing with the Internet for audience share. Millennials, for instance, are seeking a lot of their news from online sources like Twitter, which helps propel stories about black lives into the public consciousness.

the black experience helps paint a larger picture of what is happening nationally.

“You have serious, dedicated people narrating their experiences to other concerned people across the country,” he says.

“Local experiences are recognized as part of the national oppression. They’re trying to give you a sense of the race. You can watch the news on TV and nothing is happening, but if you go on Twitter, you can see people protesting or reporting that police are shooting at them.”

Both Madison and Collins say black readers in Orlando still respond to the printed version of their publications, despite the shift toward social media, which is why print is still their focus.

“What makes our day is when a grandmother calls wanting 30 copies of the paper because her grandson is on the cover,” Collins says. “There’s still pride in seeing yourself in print. It makes it seem more real than just a web page.”

Madison says he’s trying to develop enough print revenue to create a better online presence, but he says it’s expensive, and advertising dollars can be tough to chase down. While larger publications with broader audiences have a larger

advertising base, black newspapers have to rely on their immediate communities to support them.

“We have to go within our own community and survive off that,” he says. “We feel we should be getting that advertising over other weeklies with a much smaller circulation. That’s the only part I’m not pleased about. Not being taken seriously by corporate America.”

Collins says that even though it’s a tight market, and the Florida Sun Review and Orlando Times are independent publications, he and Madison try to collaborate rather than compete, sharing tips on advertising and ways to generate revenue. Because in the end, he says, it’s less about the money and more about the legacy of the black press.

“All of us in the black press are brothers,” Collins says. “Even though we compete, at the end of the day we feel we can’t let one of our own fail because that’s one less voice for our community.

Welcome to the first Culture 2 Go column of

Christmas has come and gone, but you still have one last chance to celebrate the holiday with Jane Henson’s Nativity Story, whose final tour stop of the season is at College Park’s Incarnation Catholic Church on Saturday, Jan. 23. Henson, who helped her husband, Jim, create the Muppets, crafted this spiritual puppet show prior to her passing in 2013, when it was broadcast on CBS. For 2015, Sean Keohane’s Pinocchio’s Marionette Theater revived the play with the support of Henson’s daughters Cheryl and Heather, and toured it to Grand Rapids. Email nativitystory2015@gmail.com for tickets to the tour’s final Florida stop, or visit indiegogo.com to make a financial donation to the production.

Hit reset on the visual arts calendar with a stunning roundup of shows all opening this month

By Je SSiC a BRyC e you n G

T

he first month of the year is often a fine one for visual arts, as institutions return from the holiday break refreshed and reinvigorated (as we may hope we ourselves are). But this year brings an especially notable crop of shows – almost an embarrassment of riches – to our museums.

This is by no means a comprehensive list of art shows around town (for that, you’ll want to flip forward to page 32 and start browsing The Week, our guide to the week’s events); it’s merely a list of recommended shows and openings for art lovers to use in planning their agendas.

And heads up: The following week, covered in our Jan. 20-26 issue, contains goodies like the much-anticipated opening of Snap’s new downtown space (with work by four artists in three separate exhibitions: Nu Werks by Mark Gmehling and New Sculpturings by Rebecca Rose, Continuum by Chris Robb, and Seasons Change by Earl Funk), an ambitious group show of video, installation, illustration and photography at Time Waste Management’s A Place Gallery (keep me in your prayers/fears, opening Jan. 21), a major retrospective of West Coast plein air painting at Museum of Art – DeLand (California Impressionism: Selections From the Irvine Museum, opening Jan. 22) and a groundbreaking collection of photography by female National Geographic photographers at the Orlando Museum of Art (Women of Vision, opening Jan. 23). jyoung@orlandoweekly.com

THE OSBORNE FAMILY SPECTACLE OF DANCING LIGHTS

BY SETH KUBERSKY

PHOTO BY ADAM MCCABE

Theme-park fans bid emotional adieus to two long-running entertainments Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride. Jaws. Horizons.

Back to the Future. All much-missed Orlando attractions whose closures caused consternation among theme-park fans. And as of the first week of 2016, you can add the Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights and Beetlejuice’s Graveyard Revue to that list.

The latest two members of this morose club may come as a surprise. Why should a seasonal lighting display and a midgrade musical spark such strong emotions upon their departure, when other offerings – such as Epcot’s 3-D Michael Jackson movie Captain EO and Universal’s openingday Lucille Ball museum – melted away in 2015 with barely a tear shed? It seems nostalgia, that magical emotion that is the real pixie dust keeping Central Florida’s parks packed, is impossible to predict.

Every ride or show, no matter how slight, is someone’s favorite, and their shuttering sometimes leads to scenes like I saw last week, with emotional guests bidding adieu to two long-running entertainments.

It’s hard to believe it’s been 20 years since Walt Disney World discovered Jennings Osborne’s oversized Christmas lighting display and lured it from Arkansas to Orlando, much to the relief of his neighbors. Two decades later, Jennings has passed away and the residential facades at the former Disney/MGM Studios where the decor was originally displayed have long since been torn down. But Osborne’s name and luminous legacy lived on along Disney’s Hollywood Studios’ Streets of America – or at least it did until last Wednesday night, when the spectacle was extinguished for the last time ever.

If Disney had any doubts about the popularity of the Osborne Family Spectacle, they only had to look at the Hollywood Studios parking debacle on the evening of Jan. 6. As the lights’ last hours approached, I was turned away from the already-full parking lot and diverted all the way to Animal Kingdom, where a fleet of buses waited to ferry the overflow crowd across Disney property. Once inside the park, streets leading to the Osborne display were dense with slowly shuffling guests, all eager to get their last looks at the millions of colorful LED lights blinking in sync to a soundtrack of seasonal staples like “Feliz Navidad” and Barbra Streisand’s over-caffeinated cover of

“Jingle Bells.”

At 10 p.m., an hour after the originally scheduled finale for the Osborne Family Spectacular, the curtain finally fell to the sad strains of “The Mickey Mouse Club Alma Mater.” (“See you real soon!”) The lights’ final flicker was accompanied by a flood of tears from the emotional crowd that crammed the Studio’s streets to witness the show’s last seconds. By this time next year, I expect the Spectacle’s old stomping grounds to be just so much dust, demolished to make way for Star Wars Land. But that doesn’t mean Christmas is ruined forever; I have it on good authority that Disney will resurrect its seasonal light show with a new home and brand name before too long.

Over on the other side of town, Universal Orlando didn’t inspire quite the same outpouring of anguish when it announced the closing of Beetlejuice’s Graveyard Revue late last year, but the show’s sayonara on Jan. 5 brought BJ fans out of the woodwork for a fun final day of full houses. Universal actually extended the show’s run through the peak season due to “popular demand,” and added an extra show on closing day exclusively for annual passholders. It was a nice perk (especially coming on the heels of the elimination of longstanding benefits like free bottled water for premier passholders, which were stealthily curtailed starting on New Year’s Day), but despite a few dozen Beetlejuice junkies arriving at dawn, hundreds of unclaimed passes for the final show were still available in late afternoon.

Beetlejuice and his monstrous bandmates were rocking & rolling at Universal since the mid-1990s, but the latest Graveyard Mash-Up incarnation of their production never completely clicked with crowds since its 2014 debut, despite an excellent cast that included top performers like Varietease’s Tymisha “Tush” Harris as modernized mummy Cleo. Even so, the closing day performances I attended were filled to capacity, bleacher benches bouncing as the ebullient crowd sang along with “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” and “Ballroom Blitz.” The “ghost with the most” and his ghoulish bandmates were sent packing by a Fast & Furious ride, which crashes into USF’s San Francisco area (including the extinct Disaster ride) in 2017.

As much pain as Orlando park patrons might feel right now, it’s nothing compared to California fans, who are currently mourning the closure of major parts of Disneyland (including my beloved Big Thunder Ranch petting zoo) for Star Wars construction. Whether you’re on the West Coast or the East, with so many attractions ending, the Force can’t awaken soon enough. skubersky@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

Pretty vacant Swanky Latin-Asian tapas restaurant hopes to serve pleasing plates to the late-night crowd

S

till stuck in the Reagan-era ’80s?

Do you keep a razor blade in your pocket and still love doing lines of coke with rolled Benjamins in swanky bathrooms? Then do I have a loo for you!

The low lighting conditions in the lavatory of this slick Dr. Phillips-area Latin-Asian tapas joint, combined with the trance music and mesmerizing effects of a disco ball (yes, a disco ball whirls above the latrine), might very well make it the place for cokeheads to get their bump on.

I’m sure it’s an unintentional consequence of the loungey ambience at Kokino (no, Kokino is not a street name for cocaine), but blow or no blow, the restaurant is a looker. With its supper club vibe, the restaurant, run by Nicholas Virthe (managing partner at the now-shuttered Senso Supper Club), seems to suffer another unintentional consequence – a dearth of customers. We were led to a step-up booth with a large mirror dangling above, the only diners in the posh room from 7 to 9 p.m. one weeknight. Compared to the populist and packed-to-the-hilt Fresco Cucina Italiana next door, Kokino seemed like the poor little rich girl no one wanted to talk to.

That said, I did find myself unconsciously, then consciously, wriggling along to the beat of lounge tracks being piped from above as I scoured the menu. Kokino once touted a gimmicky “tartare menu” offering nine proteins and 14 different international sauces with which to pair, but no such menu was presented to us (I’m guessing their tartare offerings have been pared down somewhat since the restaurant opened in March of last year). But we got a dose of raw with Sewansecott (Virginia) oysters in the seafood canoe ($35), all of which were superbly briny yet smooth. Unfortunately, the jumbo shrimp and Alaskan king crab that also occupied the platter were devoid of succulence. So it was back to more oysters – kimchi butter-baked oysters ($10), specifically – which were somewhat overwhelmed by a heavy-handed use of lime and Thai chili powder.

You get the sense that chef Edgardo Rodriguez (Vines Grille, the Ravenous Pig) is a little deflated by the tepid response to the restaurant, yet dishes like grilled asparagus sprinkled with bresaola, smoked peanuts, grana padano and topped with a poached egg ($9) offered glimmers of his potential – as did perfectly cooked lamb pops rolled in sofrito and crushed plantain chips ($13), though the bed of salsa rosa (house-made ketchup and mayonnaise) I

could’ve done without. Pan-searing a steak in butter then adding a burnt mushroom chimichurri really made for an oily ribeye plancha ($23): While it looked good on that wood board (save for the river of grease), the steak, surprisingly, lacked flavor.

Cocktails were crafty, wine pours generous, and our server couldn’t have been more attentive or accommodating but, then again, we were the only people in the restaurant. I thought the images of the terra-cotta warriors hanging on one wall were a little ominous. Given their purpose was to protect the Emperor in the afterlife, I couldn’t help but draw parallels to the restaurant, falsely perhaps. But a delightful lavender olive oil cake ($8) with macerated strawberries, Chantilly cream and lemonbuttermilk sorbet was hardly a funerary offering.

It’s a beauty of a restaurant, sizable covered patio – ideal for the hookah and cigar set – included. Yet I felt a tinge of melancholy leaving the place. It was like parting with a really pretty girl you didn’t quite connect with on the first date, knowing, or rather hoping, there’s someone out there for her.

CloSInGS Doc’s Streetside Grille has closed. It’ll give way early next year to a 54-room boutique hotel called the Delaney, which will house a “mid-scale casual restaurant.” eVenTS Last chance to get tickets to this Saturday’s dinner with EL Ideas chef (and honey badger of the restaurant world) Phillip Foss at Capa Steakhouse. Cost is $195 … Chefs Hari Pulapaka and William Dissen, along with six more of the best chefs in the region, host a dinner Feb. 3 at the Market Place Restaurant in Asheville, North Carolina, to benefit the Chef Action Network, a coalition of culinary leaders dedicated to changing our food system.

Cost is $150 … DLynn Proctor, one of the stars of the wine documentary SOMM, is the featured guest speaker at Del Frisco’s Penfolds Wine Dinner Jan. 21. Del Frisco’s sommelier, Jill Davis, will co-host the fivecourse dinner paired with Penfolds wine, including the 2010 Grange. Cost is $295.

North Quarter Tavern This sister restaurant to Citrus brings a relaxed attitude, good service and a food-focused ethic to downtown’s North Quarter district. Chef Matt Wall is all about ticker-testing comfort fare – sampling his poutine with duck gravy or crackling fried chicken may conjure images of Barney Clark. An in-house charcuterie program has yielded some promising results. More dessert options are needed, though.

Brunch is offered Sundays. 861 N. Orange Ave., 407-757-0930; $$

Canadian chain brings middling Middle Eastern fare to the tourist sector. Muted flavors and drab presentations mar many of the offerings, though beef kafta kebab is well-seasoned. The manakeesh (Middle Eastern pizza) we tried, with akkawi cheese and za’atar, proved too oily to enjoy. An impressive display of desserts – baklava, kanafeh, osmalieh and the like – appease, but won’t wow. Open daily. 8371 International Drive, 407-930-8645; $$

Seito Sushi Baldwin Park sushi joint appears refreshed and revitalized, and their dishes ever more Japanese. A weekend-only izakaya menu is worth a look. Ramen (try the shoyu) really impresses, as does the moriawase (chef’s selection) of sashimi. A roll fashioned from lobster, American wagyu and truffle aioli will cater to the bon vivant in you. A requisite selection of craft cocktails and a decent selection of sake, wine and beer keep guests slaked. 4898 New Broad St., 407-898-8801; $$$

Oak-fired pizzas are worth a look, as is the gnocchi with short rib Bolognese.

13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi

By Ste v e S c h n e i d e r

Opening this week

Unobtainable love Carol is haunting despite its emotional distance By cameron mei er

Carol

HHHHH

“y

ou don’t try to photograph the reality,” Stanley Kubrick once said. “You try and photograph the photograph of reality.”

If that’s true, then Carol, the romantic drama from director Todd Haynes (Far From Heaven), goes one step further by photographing the photo of the photo, and thereby creating a hazy, distant depiction of forbidden love. His impressionistic approach may seem pretentious, detached and even unemotional. Yet the film’s sensitivity, nuanced performances and social relevance ultimately combine to deliver a haunting, if slightly ponderous, product.

Written by Phyllis Nagy – from the 1952 novel by Patricia Highsmith – and shot in a sumptuous and stylistic manner, the film tackles Eisenhower-era lesbianism.

Therese, a timid, 20-something shop girl at a Manhattan department store, meets middle-aged Carol while the latter is searching for an extravagant Christmas gift for her daughter to both reflect her budget and fill the parental void that her pending divorce has created. She chooses a train set, but the little engine that could simply can’t work marital magic, and before long it’s Carol who is hitting the rails to find love outside her broken home.

She turns to Therese, who is immediately infatuated with Carol – more than Carol is with her. Indeed, the novel was written almost entirely from Therese’s point of view, perhaps to give the story a sense of longing or to shroud Carol in mystery. Though the film gives the characters equal emphasis, Carol remains a bit of a

26

orlando weekly ● JAN. 13-19, 2016

cipher, and the lack of chemistry between Cate Blanchett (Carol) and Rooney Mara (Therese) doesn’t help us understand the characters or feel their passion.

Despite the distance between the leads, their individual performances are stellar.

Mara conveys confused beauty while capturing the deer-in-the-headlights look of young love. But, except for one scene, her smoldering desire doesn’t fully catch fire.

The same might be said for Blanchett, who, ironically, seems to shine most brightly not when in the embrace of her young companion but instead in scenes with her neglectful but nevertheless passionate husband, Harge, played well by Kyle Chandler.

Blanchett is particularly effective when she’s fighting for both her daughter and her dignity, and if she garners her seventh Oscar nomination, it will be because of those moments. Not so successful are Sarah Paulson (Carol’s closest friend) and Jack Lacy (Therese’s boyfriend). While Paulson’s performance is fine, she has disappointingly little to do. If only the same could be said for Lacy, who doesn’t grasp the finer points of his role.

While the story is thin and contains a small surprise late in the film that stretches believability, the art direction and ambience are effective. Indeed, except for one odd reference to the Interstate Highway System, which wasn’t begun until after the film’s events, the movie successfully conjures up 1950s glamour, style and anti-gay bigotry.

“What a strange girl you are, flung out of space,” Carol tells Therese. Strange, too, is the film, which, despite its emotional inaccessibility and overreliance on aesthetics, is still worth a watch for those with maturity and patience. feedback@orlandoweekly.com ●

13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi Personally, I couldn’t have made it through 2016 without knowing what Michael Bay thinks about Benghazi. Some people would like you to think that the schlockmeister’s impressions of the incident are all nice and apolitical: Star John Krasinski told Stephen Colbert that 13 Hours takes no stand beyond saluting the brave men who tried to save the lives of our representatives abroad. Christ, even the shortest TV clip shows that the picture hews to the Breitbartian fantasy of some sort of standdown order that ensured the eventual catastrophe.

Now millions of viewers are going to swallow this codswallop as fact – and conveniently just in time for a national election. Why didn’t they just title it Citizens United? (R) Norm of the North Remember when Heather Graham tried to jump on the Sting bandwagon by revealing to the world that she, too, practices tantric sex – then swiftly clarified that her version of the activity includes frequent breaks to get something to eat, go to the bathroom, and maybe even ride out the presidential primary season? It was kind of like that Steven Wright joke about the convenience store that stays open 24 hours, just not in a row. If you’ve been wondering what Graham has been up to lately, the answer is obvious: helping Rob Schneider heat up the Antarctic. Graham joins Schneider in the voice cast of Norm of the North, the story of a crusading polar bear who tries to save his home from developers. Sadly, Graham voices one of the human characters, not one of Norm’s so-called “fuzzy sidekicks” (because that would make my job too easy). Either way, the movie is bound to be hours of fun for the whole family.

Just not in a row. (PG) Ride Along 2 Now that it’s guaranteed Tim Story will not be remembered as the only director who ever fucked up the Fantastic Four, he’s free to go on with his career. And he’d really like you to remember that, before he turned Galactus into a disembodied cloud, he made the thoroughly respectable Barbershop with Ice Cube. Ever the pal, Cube has allowed Story to ride along with him and Kevin Hart in the second installment of their actioncomedy franchise. Heck, if the movie is a hit, maybe Cube will take them both to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame dinner. Because wouldn’t you love to see Steve Miller trying to explain that one to Ritchie Blackmore?

l

isten without context to X__X’s 2015 EP Albert Ayler’s Ghosts Live at the Yellow Ghetto and you might walk away hopelessly baffled. Only the title track comes from avant-garde saxophonist Ayler’s seminal 1965 freejazz masterpiece; also included on the 18-minute set are “I Am an Instrument,” an extra-celestial recitation of Sun Ra’s poetry; “Tool Jazz,” 40 seconds of a whirring power saw; “My Terranean Home,” a chopped and screwed 50-second slice of Bob Dylan’s classic “Subterranean Homesick Blues”; and “Transmography,” which starts off with a gentle cover of Neil Young’s “Needle and the Damage Done” before launching into a propulsive stew of ’70s proto-punk.

Which speaks to the precise roots of this iconoclastic band. Founded in 1978 by John D. Morton, best known for fronting another cult-fave band from Cleveland called Electric Eels, X__X lasted just six months in its original iteration. But two sought-after 45s of confrontational artpunk, four infamous live appearances

that ended with the rousing anti-anthem “Cleveland Sucks,” and the most Dadaist name in musical history (it was pronounced “ex blank ex” so that anyone could place their own interpretation into the blank) cemented the band’s spot in punk rock’s early anti-everything legacy.

In 2014, thanks to interest from boundary-pushing record label Ektro (from Finland) and Smog Veil (from Ohio), Morton and fellow X__X founding member Andrew Klimeyk reformed to test the limits of today’s niche market for antagonistic music. “The way I see it, we took a 36-year hiatus,” Morton says. “I was working the whole time but nobody was paying attention. Now they are, which is great.”

Other original bandmates Jim Ellis and Anton Fier declined to join the reunited group but gave their blessings to new recruits Craig Willis Bell and Matthew Harris. X__X played a few Midwest and Northeast shows in 2014 before holing up in a dilapidated yellow house to record Albert Ayler’s Ghosts in the kind of ragtag fashion that Morton thinks would make the notoriously difficult Mr. Ayler proud.

“I had the desire to do Ghosts but no idea whether I could even transcribe it or teach it to the band,” Morton says. “Here

Talking free jazz, PTSD and the antagonisms of performance art with X__X frontman John D. Morton

Hell hath no fury

we are crashing on couches in primitive living conditions across from a bar called A Touch of Class, practicing on the back line at another bar called Maple Grove Tavern. We got through Ghosts once and the guys looked at me and said, ‘We’re not sure if we played it right.’ And I said, ‘You can’t play it wrong.’”

Morton adds that the audacity of the project provided all the allure he needed.

“There’s an obvious relationship between punk and free jazz – it’s angry music, it’s funny, and it’s also a real career killer. If you play free jazz, nobody will listen to it.

Playing punk back in the day, nobody listened to it. We used to have audiences of seven; now, we play and people clap. It’s like, ‘What is this? What just happened?’”

Of course, X__X still knows how to provoke an audience. “Because I’m a visual artist, there isn’t a demarcation between one type of performance and another,” Morton says. “Pushing things forward has always been important. I used to saw 2-by-4s onstage, and now I saw pieces of bamboo. We did it in December in New Haven, Connecticut, and it was like the old days – after one song, the audience just stood there with their mouths open, not knowing what to do. I said, ‘Did you forget something? Maybe clapping?’ And they all started clapping.”

This all plays into Morton’s reputation as a nihilistic artist with a dark sense of humor – in 1978, he told anyone who would listen that he moved away from Cleveland because a critic told him, “I hate myself for liking your work.” But with 20 years of sobriety under his belt and newfound success for X__X, Morton admits that he’s mellowed out. During our interview, he was even sanguine about being denied entry into Canada to spend the winter with his girlfriend (his upstate New York cabin doesn’t have heat or running water) because of a past arrest stemming from what he calls a “PTSD episode that was downgraded from resisting arrest to disturbing the peace.”

“It’s funny but true,” he laughs. “My girlfriend said doing this interview while sitting homeless in a motel room in Niagara Falls would be good – just as a reminder that things are not all bleak.”

Morton says. He’s excited about X__X’s tour, too, because it will provide the band (including new drummer Lamont Thomas of opening act Obnox) with “live practice sessions,” and also because it’ll give him a temporary home. “What a great idea for a proto-punk band to tour the South playing free jazz,” he says.

“Makes perfect sense, right?”

Out Go the Lights

BY B AO L E - H U U

PHOTO BY JIM LEATHERMAN

New year, new things – it’s how it should be (although I’d gladly have Bowie for a few more). And already, we have a fresh new live-series hopeful up at bat. I mentioned it last month, but Punk on the Patio, the new event baby by rising scene-maker Marshal Rones (of Foundation Presents), is now officially in the mix with a very promising debut (Jan. 6, the Patio).

On paper, I liked everything about the idea when I first heard about it. It’s a live event of exceptional accessibility and a compelling reason to go downtown again.

Like an entire class of local scene pros, what I dislike about downtown now is not the setting itself (which I actually miss), it’s the culture shift and increasing logistical hassle. But, with its low-fuss midweek placement (first Wednesday of each month) yet sane hours (music begins at 9 p.m. and ends by midnight), POTP is like a slice of the old downtown. And if you have any complaints about a $5 cover that buys you several bands and a free domestic bottle or well, then you have no business going out.

Regarding that downtown context, the Patio is all kinds of perfect for a livemusic gathering. Occupying the cloister that was formerly Eye Spy and accessed via the back connector hall of Olde 64, the action happens on the floor in the courtyard under lights and the night air.

Outdoor, urban and informal – there’s little more you could demand of a milieu.

As for the quality of music, without which none of this matters, the maiden

Punk on the Patio is bringing something new, local, live and inexpensive back to downtown showcase stepped out with a strong local lineup that included Flashlights, Out Go the Lights and Slumberjack, all of whom represented respectably. But what happened around the bands is perhaps more telling about Punk on the Patio’s prospects. The turnout was healthy, tuned in and on time. People showed up early and came primed for live music. They moved, they sang along – you know, like a real live-music crowd. And that’s something because it doesn’t always happen here, even among the concert-going set. Without getting into that sadness, let’s just respect the fact that this event accomplished that sense of event.

How much of the buzz and flash was just opening-night electricity remains to be seen, but the ingredients are there for this to be a legit happening. The bands were good and the crowd possibly better. POTP is bringing something new, local, live and inexpensive back to downtown. It may only be a small reclamation for live music but it’s a potentially great concert series.

The next lineup’s already been announced and it’s solid, featuring Wet Nurse, Tight Genes and Caffiends (Feb. 3). Follow on the Social’s website (thesocial.org).

THE BEAT

The recent Priest-headlined local show was a tidy one-stop check-in on three of the more nationally noted acts of Orlando’s current indie class (Jan. 7, the Social).

Priest is still more of a studio project than anything and nobody around here is still seducing the ’80s as dreamily and effectively as Saskatchewan.

Day Joy, too, has seen its share of prominence in recent years, emerging in 2013 as one of Orlando’s most promising breakouts with a nationally released and pushed album (Go to Sleep, Mess) under the Frenchkiss label umbrella. But after the core creative duo shrank to just frontman Michael Serrin, the band has practically fallen off even the local radar in the search to redefine itself.

Now with a completely retooled fivepiece lineup, Day Joy’s pillowy folk-pop sounded less psychedelic and more melodically distinct, but still rich in floating atmosphere. What’s more, though still purposefully sedate, some of the new material performed was highly clarified with quiet drama, as if someone’s been listening to a lot of the National lately. It’s a smart move that really showcases Serrin’s elegant songwriting.

I’m not sure why Day Joy’s comeback has been so slow, but it looks like some wheels are moving again with work on new recordings. After seeing them shine again on stage, let’s hope that this is a sign of something beginning again. baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

TroyBoi

MUSIC Straight out of London’s underground dance scene comes TroyBoi, whose trap tracks bring Venue 578 a taste of the purest uncut filth that’s pumping out of the veins of dubstep’s birthplace. Perfect for both the most basic of betches and the glitchiest of tweakers, TroyBoi blends the best of hip-hop and EDM into a homogenized fusion of booming 808s, crackling high hats, popping claps and earth-shuddering breakdowns. The man himself is relatively unknown in the game but he’s recently gained notoriety for tracks he’s collaborated on with Flosstradamus, Diplo and Nina Sky. Though arguably more in tune with the zeitgeist of EDM styles, TroyBoi’s breadth of artistry is evident in his experimental and progressive tracks inspired by melodies derived from African and Middle Eastern influences. Expect pulse-pounding builds peaking at weightless drops that land into grinding grooves accompanied by hightech LED special effects. – Justin Braun

Ani DiFranco

Otronicon v.11

Remember when being a techie meant that nobody understood you? You were the one who knew how to build websites from scratch and write your own code and you knew, at least in a general sense, what a simulator was for. Tech is no longer an oddball hobby or obscure vocation – being a techie is a hobby, a career aspiration, an obsession. And Orlando is home to events like Otronicon, a tech showcase and digital-media industry event now in its 11th year, to give even the Luddites amongst us a chance to check out some of the cool developments in technology and perhaps gain some basic skills. Prove that you are as smart as a fifth grader at a coding workshop or a robotics seminar (seriously, some of these workshops are for kids as young as 6 – you better work to keep up); wander through the “Medical Sim City,” where you can find out what cutting-edge technology is making its mark on healthcare; or take part in the Game Jam, where game designers can participate in a competition to create the best interactive experiences. There’s even an Otronicon After Dark event on Friday and Saturday nights, where you can drink craft beer in the BART Lounge and connect with other techies. – Erin Sullivan

ANI DIFRANCO

MUSIC Ani DiFranco’s résumé can be pretty intimidating to those who have never seen her live. The lauded songwriter started her own label, Righteous Babe, before she was legally allowed to drink, and has worked with everyone from folkies Pete Seeger and Utah Phillips to jazz saxophonist Maceo Parker to the legendary Prince. But anyone who has seen the diminutive dynamo play live can tell you that she focuses on connecting with her audience first, then impressing them with a frenetic fingerpicking style and songwriting that has garnered her accolades from everyone from the National Organization for Women to the Woody Guthrie Center. Labelmate Hamell on Trial, known as much for his humorous interludes as his fiery take on acoustic punk, opens. – Thaddeus McCollum

Central Florida Scottish Highland Games CENTRAL FLORIDA SCOTTISH HIGHLAND GAMES

Sponsored by the Scottish-American Society of Central Florida, these annual games mostly involve moving heavy shit, whether that means lifting a boulder and carrying it as far as you can or trying to chuck a telephone pole end over end, but the real fun happens on the adjacent field, where Highland dancing, bagpipers, border collies and other entertainments abound. There’s a slew of heritage tents where you’re invited to learn about your Scottish roots (if you have them), meet very distant relatives, and read through Scottish history and maps of various famous clans. There’s even a real-life quidditch tournament, which consists of possibly stoned college kids chucking balls at each other while holding brooms between their legs. Bring cash, as there’s no point being Scottish and sober at the same time and you’ll want to refill your pitcher from Dunedin Brewery’s taps multiple times without getting hit by ATM fees. – TM

LITERARY FuncLit is back with its first event of 2016, and it’s a doozy. Matthew Salesses has five published books to his name – Roxane Gay (Bad Feminist) called his recent novel, The Hundred-Year Flood, “epic and devastating and full of natural majesty” – as well as writing for basically your whole morning blogroll: Salon, The Toast, The Millions, The Rumpus, NPR’s Code Switch and the New York Times’ Motherlode. We presume he’ll be reading from one or both of his upcoming books: an essay collection, Own Story, and a novel, The Murder of the Doppelgänger, are TK in 2016/2017.

As for local writer Kristen Arnett, well, we can’t decide between her essay “The Body, Forever” (on Burrow Press Review) and her flash-fiction “How to Eat Chicken Wings” (in the Guardian) to nominate as the most electrifying thing we read last year. So we pick both. Go get lit! – JBY

MUSIC Southern Fried Sunday celebrates 10 years of pickin’ and grinnin’ this Sunday with a daylong anniversary hootenanny featuring an outdoor stage of local and touring acts headlined by Reverend Horton Heat and Unknown Hinson sharing a double-wide two-hour set. The red-eyed revelry kicks off early with local punks the Hamiltons, followed by accordion-wielding pub-core pirates the Kidney Stones.

Then kick up your heels to the WildTones regional rockabilly before the honky-tonk tunes of Giddy Up Go round out the local lineup. Next comes Russian-American party band Igor & Red Elvises, whose “Siberian surf-rock” pairs nicely with several shots of vodka. Then Nashville Pussy gets down and dirty with some of the hairiest Southern metal you’ll ever hear. The redneck revival comes to a frenzied climax when Unknown Hinson, aka Stuart Barker, voice of Early Cuyler on Adult Swim’s Squidbillies, performs his original country parodies backed by Reverend Horton Heat himself, one of music’s most famous rockabilly revivalists.

(His song “Psychobilly Freakout” shredded fingers on Guitar Hero 2.) Southern barbecue dinner is available from area food trucks, and entrance to the late show featuring the Woolly Bushmen, Milka and Riverbottom Nightmare Band is included with the ticket price. – JB

The Color Run Sweat, island-themed paint and endorphins mix together at the Color Run this weekend at the Central Florida Fairgrounds. “The Happiest 5K on the Planet” brings its Tropicolor World Tour to drench you in color and island smells as you prance through an inflatable musical paradise. The run also highlights Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida, a nonprofit organization that helps feed people in Brevard, Lake, Orange, Osceola, Seminole and Volusia counties. Before you get plastered in paint, remember to wear white clothing. Here’s some free advice: take a pair of sunglasses. – Monivette Cordeiro

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You love autonomy. You specialize in getting the freedom and sovereignty you require. You are naturally skilled at securing your independence from influences that might constrain your imagination and limit your self-expression. But here’s a sticking point: If you want the power to help shape group processes, you must give up some of your autonomy. In order to motivate allies to work toward shared goals, you need to practice the art of interdependence. The next test of your ability to do this is coming right up.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) “Nothing is really work unless you’d rather be doing something else.” So said Taurus writer James M. Barrie (1860-1937), who created the Peter Pan stories.

Your challenge and invitation in the coming months is to increase the amount of time you spend that does not qualify as work. In fact, why don’t you see how much and how often you can indulge in outright play? There’ll be no better way to attract grace and generate good fortune.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Here’s my proposal: Get in touch with your madness. And don’t tell me you have no madness. We all do. But listen: When I use the word “madness,” I don’t mean howling rage, hurtful lunacy or out-of-control misbehavior. I’m calling on the experimental part of you that isn’t always polite and reasonable; the exuberant rebel who is attracted to wild truths rather than calming lies; the imaginative seeker who pines for adventures on the frontiers of your understanding. Now is an excellent time to tap into your inner maverick.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Here’s an excerpt from Dorianne Laux’s poem “Antilamentation”: “Regret nothing. Not the cruel novels you read to the end just to find out who killed the cook. Not the insipid movies that made you cry in the dark. Not the lover you left quivering in a hotel parking lot. Not the nights you called god names and cursed your mother, sunk like a dog in the living room couch, chewing your nails.” I’m giving you a good dose of Laux’s purifying rant in the hope that it will incite you to unleash your own.

The time is favorable to summon an expanded appreciation for the twists and tweaks of your past, even those that seemed torturous in the moment. Laux doesn’t regret the TV set she threw out the upstairs window or the stuck onion rings she had to sweep off the dirty restaurant floor, and I hope you will be that inclusive.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) “Modesty is the art of drawing attention to whatever it is you’re being humble about,” said Alfred E. Neuman, the fictitious absurdist whose likeness often appears on the cover of Mad magazine. I’m here to tell you that now is an excellent time to embody this aphorism. You are in a perfect position to launch a charm offensive by being outrageously unassuming. The less you brag about yourself and the more you praise other people, the better able you will be to get exactly what you want. Being unegotistical and non-narcissistic is an excellent strategy for serving your selfish needs.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) “To go wrong in one’s own way is better than to go right in someone else’s,” says a character in Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s novel Crime and Punishment. I don’t agree with that idea 100 percent of the time. Sometimes our wrong ideas are so delusional that we’re better off getting interrupted and redirected by the wiser insights of others. But for the near future, I recommend Dostoyevsky’s prescription for your use. One of your key principles will be to brandish your unique perspectives. Even if they’re not entirely right and reasonable, they will lead you to what you need to learn next.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) “I love kissing,” testifies singersongwriter Sufjan Stevens. “If I could kiss all day, I would. I can’t stop thinking about kissing. I like kissing more than sex because there’s no end to it. You can kiss forever. You can kiss yourself into oblivion. You can kiss all over the body. You can kiss yourself to sleep.” I invite you to temporarily adopt this expansive obsession.

The astrological omens suggest that you need more sweet slippery sensual tender interaction than usual. Why? Because it will unleash sweet slippery sensual tender emotions and sweet slippery sensual tender thoughts, all of which will awaken a surge of dormant creativity. Which you also need very much.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) “Everything has been said before,” said French author André Gide, “but since nobody listens we have to keep going back and beginning all over again.” I am happy to inform you that you’re about to be temporarily exempt from this cynical formulation. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you will be able to drive home certain points that you have been trying to make over and over again for quite a while. The people who most need to hear them will finally be able to register your meaning. (P.S. This breakthrough will generate optimal results if you don’t gloat. Be grateful and understated.)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Do you want more money? Are there treasures you wish you could have, but you can’t afford them? Do any exciting experiences and life-enhancing adventures remain off-limits because of limited resources? If your answer to any of these questions is yes, now would be an excellent time to formulate plans and take action to gather increased wealth. I don’t guarantee total success if you do, but I promise that your chance to make progress will be higher than usual. Cosmic tendencies are leaning in the direction of you getting richer quicker, and if you collaborate with those tendencies, financial magic could materialize.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) “It’s a terrible thing to wait until you’re ready,” proclaims actor Hugh Laurie. He goes even further: “No one is ever ready to do anything. There is almost no such thing as ready.” His counsel is too extreme for my tastes. I believe that proper preparation is often essential. We’ve got to get educated about the challenges we want to take on. We need to develop at least some skills to help us master our beloved goals.

On the other hand, it’s impossible to ever be perfectly prepared and educated and skilled. If you postpone your quantum leaps of faith until every contingency has been accounted for, you’ll never leap. Right now Laurie’s view is good advice.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Fate has transformed a part of your life that you didn’t feel ready to have transformed. I won’t offer my condolences, though, because I’ve guessed a secret that you don’t know about yet. The mythic fact, as I see it, is that whatever you imagine you have had to let go of will ultimately come back to you in a revised and revivified form – maybe sooner than you think. Endings and beginnings are weaving their mysteries together in unforeseen ways. Be receptive to enigmatic surprises.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Good news: Your eagerness to think big is one of your superpowers. Bad news: It’s also one of your liabilities. Although it enables you to see how everything fits together, it may cause you to overlook details about what’s undermining you. Good news: Your capacity for intense empathy is a healing balm for both others and yourself. At least potentially, it means you can be a genius of intimacy. Bad news: Your intense empathy can make you fall prey to the emotional manipulation of people with whom you empathize. Good news: Your willingness to explore darkness is what makes your intelligence so profound. Bad news: But that’s also why you have to wrestle so fiercely with fear.

Good news: In the next four weeks, the positive aspects of all the above qualities will be ascendant.

This senior pup is in need of a comfy new home. Meet Oreo!

He is a 10-year-old dog who was recently surrendered to the shelter. Oreo is a very friendly dog who gets along well with everyone. He really enjoys being petted and spending time outside. He walks well on a leash and he’s housebroken. All year long, pets age seven and older can be adopted for free, so there’s no cost to adopt Oreo.

Senior pets are mellow and enjoy a relaxed lifestyle and they won’t chew any furniture or new shoes. Visit Orange County Animal Services at 2769 Conroy Road (ocnetpets.com) to adopt Oreo so he has a comfy place to live out his golden years.

B Y D A N S AVA G E As a queer man of color – I’m Asian – I feel wounded whenever I am exposed to gay men in New York City, Toronto or any city where white gay men dominate. Gay men, mostly whites and Asians, reject me because of my race and no one admits to their sexual racism. I understand that sexual attraction is subconscious for many people. But it is unfair for a gay Asian like myself to be constantly marginalized and rejected. I fight for gay rights, too. I believe in equality, too. I had the same pain of being gay in high school and the same fears when coming out. Why is there no acceptance, no space, no welcome for me in this white-painted gay community? I’m six-foot-one, 160 pounds, fit and very good-looking. What can I do? I might as well be a sexless monk.

Enraged Dude Details Infuriating Experience

“I relate to a lot of what EDDIE is feeling here,” said Joel Kim Booster, a Brooklyn writer and comedian. “The double-edged sword of living in a city with a large gay community is that the community gets so large that we finally have the opportunity to marginalize people within it.”

Jeff Chu, a writer who also lives in Brooklyn, can relate: “Racism still thrives in the gay community, just as in broader society,” said Chu. “Many of us who are Asian-American come out of the closet and walk into this weird bamboo cage, where we’re either fetishized or ignored. Many times I’d go into a gay bar and see guys playing out some gross interracial porno in their heads – with me playing the part of their Chinese pocket gay.”

Booster and Chu are right: Racism is a problem in the gay community, some people within are unfairly and cruelly marginalized, and we all need to confront our own prejudices.

Even you, EDDIE. You cite your height (tall!), weight (slim!), and looks (VGL!) as proof you’ve faced sexual rejection based solely on your race.

But short, heavy, average-looking/unconventionally attractive guys face rejection for not being tall, lean or conventionally hot.

“As a stereotypically short Chinese guy, my first reaction to reading EDDIE’s letter? Damn, he’s six-foot-one! I’m jealous,” said Chu. “And that’s also part of the problem. I, like many others, have internalized an ideal: tall, gym-perfected, blah blah blah – and, above all, white.”

Booster was also struck by your stats. “It’s hard for me to wrap my head around any six-foot-one, fit, VGL guy having trouble getting laid,” said Booster. “On paper, this is the gay ideal! I don’t really consider myself any of those things – and I have a perfectly respectable amount of sex.”

Booster, who somehow manages to have plenty of sex in New York’s “white-painted gay community,” had some practical tips for you. “EDDIE should stay away from the apps if the experience becomes too negative,” Booster said. “If logging on to a hookup app bums him out, take a break.

Being a double minority can be isolating, but living in a big city can be great. There are meet-ups and clubs and activities for all stripes. Join a gay volleyball league – truly where gay Asian men thrive – or find one of the many gay Asian nights at one of the gay bars around the city. They’re out there.”

Chu has also managed to find romantic success in New York. “I’ve been where EDDIE is, except

shorter, less fit and less good-looking, and somehow I found a husband,” said Chu. A quick word to gay white men: It’s fine to have “preferences.” But we need to examine our preferences and give some thought to the cultural forces that may have shaped them. It’s a good idea to make sure your preferences are actually yours and not some limited and limiting racist crap pounded into your head by TV, movies and porn. But while preferences are allowed, there’s no excuse for littering Grindr or Tinder or Recon with dehumanizing garbage like “no Asians,” “no Blacks,” “no femmes,” “no fatties,” etc.

And while racism is a problem in the gay community (sometimes thoughtless, sometimes malicious, always unacceptable), according to 2010 U.S. Census data, as crunched by the Williams Institute at UCLA, same-sex couples are far likelier to be interracial (20.6 percent) than opposite-sex couples (13.9 percent). So there’s hope – and I don’t mean “hope that EDDIE will one day land a magic white boyfriend,” but hope for less racism in the gay community generally and fewer racist Grindr profiles specifically.

The last word goes to Booster: “A note to the rice queens who will undoubtedly write in about this man: We like that you like us. But liking us solely because of our race can be uncomfortable at best, and creepy as hell at worst. In my experience, it’s perfectly OK to keep some of those preferences behind the curtain while you get to know us a bit as humans first.”

I am an Italian bisexual 25-year-old guy. I’m in love with a great guy, but he lives far away, and we see each other only one time per month and sometimes less. A few weeks ago, I had sex with a female university colleague. It wasn’t anything special: She was somewhat drunk and hurt me with her teeth during petting, so I didn’t have a good erection and I didn’t come. But I liked having sex with a woman. I want to do it again, but I love my boyfriend, and I don’t want to hurt him. Am I destined to be unfaithful?

More Or Less

I would never suggest that bi guys can’t honor monogamous commitments – even though I routinely say just that about straight guys, gay guys, straight women and lesbians – but it would be foolish for you to make a monogamous commitment. Not because you’re “destined to be unfaithful,” but because you’ve already been unfaithful.

Here’s what you know about yourself: You’re bisexual, you want to have sex with women and men, and you don’t want to cheat. Which means you’ll have to either renegotiate the terms of the relationship you’re in now – get your boyfriend’s OK to have sex with a woman once in a while – or end the relationship and find a boyfriend (or girlfriend) who will give you their OK.
