Rally in Orlando celebrates New York’s $15 minimum wage victory

PHOTO BY MONIVETTE CORDEIRO

W

orkers and activists rallied on the front steps of Orlando’s City Hall Thursday, July 23, joining organizers across Florida who showed support for the $15 minimum wage increase in New York.

On Wednesday, a wage panel appointed

by New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo recommended the minimum wage be raised for employees of fast-food chain restaurants to $15 an hour. Raises will happen in yearly increments, and by the end of 2018, all workers in New York City should be paid $15, according to the New York Times.

The current minimum wage in New York is $8.75 per hour, $1.50 more than the federal minimum wage of $7.25. Ever so generous, the state of Florida raised the minimum wage 12 cents in 2015, from $7.93 to its current $8.05.

Integrity Florida, a research and watchdog group, released a report on July 20 dispelling the myth that a higher minimum wage results in job losses. The group compared last year’s state job statistics with minimum wage increases and found that every state except West Virginia 10

experienced job growth.

A spokesperson for one of Florida’s leading business groups, Florida Retail Federation, told the Tampa Bay Times, “There’s only a finite amount of money that a business allocates to salaries. ... I don’t understand how you would expect business owners to allocate more money to salaries than they can afford.”

During the Orlando rally, Clint Cuyler said he was hired at SeaWorld when he was 16 and was paid $7.10. Now 24, he works at Burger King earning $8.05, and sees people around him working multiple jobs trying to make ends meet.

“We have a system meant to keep lowwage workers where they are at,” he says.

“Orlando is the epicenter of tourism in the world. We take care of these people, and it’s time we get respect.”

Nadia Iza, who works at the Osceola Regional Media Center, says that recently a third-party company has taken over the center, slashing benefits and wages for recently hired employees. Iza, who is a member of 1199 SEIU United Healthcare Workers East, adds that this move has led to older employees feeling insecure about their positions.

“We have to stay in the struggle and not give up,” she says in Spanish. “We all deserve the same rights.”

Robin Harris, a clergy member at the rally, says she’s traveled across the country and seen young black and brown people taking a stand and trying to bring humanity back to working.

“We refuse anything less than $15,” she told the crowd. “We will not be sharecroppers any [longer]. ... We want what’s rightfully ours.”

Former Orange County Democratic Executive Committee Chair Carlos Guillermo Smith (he resigned from the position on July 20 to focus on his run for Florida House District 49; he will be replaced by Aug. 17) says he will be doing the minimum wage challenge in the coming weeks. The test challenges people to live on $77 for a week, which is the average budget of a worker making $7.25 an hour for food, transportation and personal expenses, not including bills.

“We need a living wage,” he told the crowd. “Now is the time for the state of Florida to do this.” – Monivette Cordeiro

Planning board approves highrise project on Lake Eola Park

o

rlando’s Municipal Planning Board unanimously approved plans for a 28-story tower near Lake Eola Park Tuesday, despite crowds of residents protesting its impact.

The building, which would replace two historic buildings on East Central Boulevard, will house 215 residential units, an area for commercial use and a parking garage. Although the plans were approved by the municipal board, they still require final approval from Orlando’s City Council.

At least 100 members of one of Orlando’s oldest social clubs, the Rosalind Club, and others filled Council Chambers at City Hall to let the board know their concerns. The skyscraper, proposed by a Chicago developer, would be the club’s direct neighbor.

Karen Consalo, who is representing the Rosalind Club, says the club members’ concerns with the building include encroachments on the park, increased traf traffic, the height of the building, increased crime, construction damage and losing the lake view from the Rosalind building.

Save Lake Eola Park, a group protesting the project, said on its website that the city would give public park land to the developer, land that was originally deeded to the city from Cathedral Church of St. Luke on the condition that it would be used as “public park only.” City staff and the developer’s representatives say the developer proposed outdoor seating, water wells and landscape improvements to the land as a donation, but would not own the land. – MC

James and Julie Petrakis chefs and restaurateurs, The Ravenous Pig, 1234 N. Orange Ave., 407-628-2333, theravenouspig.com; Cask and Larder, 565 W. Fairbanks Ave., 321-280-4200, caskandlarder.com; Swine and Sons Provisions, 595 W. Fairbanks Ave., 407-636-7601, swineandsons.com; all in Winter Park

Since opening the Ravenous Pig in 2007, James and Julie Petrakis have worked tirelessly to challenge and support our culinary scene.

Though both Winter Park natives, they didn’t meet until culinary school (they attended the prestigious CIA), after which they worked separately in various fast-paced New York kitchens.

Their return to Winter Park has seen them build a small restaurant empire – the Ravenous Pig gastropub was joined by “Southern public house” Cask & Larder and the charcuteriefocused sandwich spot Swine & Sons – and their work has won them a James Beard Award nomination, acclaim from national media, and the devotion of a new generation of local food enthusiasts.

Stuff the Magic Dragon Mascot for the Orlando Magic, nba.com/magic

Everyone recognizes Stuff the Magic Dragon as the devoted mascot determinedly flipping out about the Orlando Magic at their Amway Center games. Stuff recently won a Golden Matrix Award for Best Mascot Video from the Information Display and Entertainment Association, and he’s also the host of the charity-driven Mascot Games, proving his heart is as fiery as his dragon passion for NBA basketball. He’s been with the franchise since the very start, and his playful skits lighten spirits at Amway, win or lose.

Before Calvin Cearley opened his “gentlemen’s general store” in Ivanhoe Village, where did Orlando men shop for clothing and accessories that weren’t big-box bland? Perhaps they picked up pieces here and there at places like Etoile Boutique, but there really weren’t any boutique shops dedicated solely to men’s goods. In late 2014, Cearley took his once online-only shop to a brick-and-mortar location, and now our favorite discerning guys have a place where they can get jeans, shoes, trousers, grooming supplies and more, all made in the USA.

In 2009, Anna Bond and her husband got to work designing custom wedding invites and stationery from their apartment. Bond’s whimsical style and deft illustrations caught our eye, and in 2010, we awarded her a Best of Orlando – obviously, we weren’t the only ones she’d won over. Soon her work was featured in some of our favorite national pubs, including GQ, Martha Stewart Living and Bon Appetit, and national retailer Anthropologie picked up some of her designs to sell in its stores. Now Bond’s pieces are available nationwide, and she’s even partnered with Lauren Conrad’s Paper Crown to offer a clothing line, also available through Anthropologie.

Lorna Lambey

singer

Before Winter Park decided to let a developer demolish the hotel that once housed the legendary Red Fox Lounge, Lorna Lambey and her husband, the late, great Mark Wayne, stirred things up there nightly. They brought a truly unique nightlife scene to life there, playing to a diverse crowd drawn by the surreal and lovely lounge act. Sadly, Wayne passed away in 2012, but Lambey continues to perform at Rocco’s Italian Grille, as well as for special engagements. We will forever carry a torch for the way the enduring lounge singer lights up a room.

A classically trained ballerina who wants to make dance accessible to the masses, Blue Star came here from Atlanta decades ago and with her crazy Southern charm, came to rule Saturdays at Southern Nights as the hostess, emcee and star of Lesbo-a-gogo. As her local fandom grew, she branched out into other gigs and clubs, founded her naughty-but-not-too dance troupe VarieTease, titillated the punters with Dirty Bingo at Stardust Lounge, then launched the Venue, a performance space and home base for VarieTease. She also has become a champion for cancer patients locally, establishing the One Love foundation after the death of her best friend Tweeka (John) Barber.

artist and curator at Gallery at Avalon Island, 39 S. Magnolia Ave., 407-317-8367, avalongallery.org

Asaan “Swamburger” Brooks musician and artist

From his beginnings as a conceptual artist (including a stint as part of the RS21 collective at Maitland Art Center), Pat Greene has brought a questioning energy to Orlando’s cultural scene.

An inveterate traveler and reader, Greene always comes home, bringing with him new ideas and new visions to challenge banality.

He made his mark as programming director of erstwhile creative space Urban ReThink, then assembled his long-dreamed-of Corridor Project, “a contemporary art museum without a fixed location,” and staged its first show, Walk On By, in 2012. In 2013 he became curator of the Gallery at Avalon Island and produced the Transit Interpretation Project, an artistic interrogation of the local bus system that was an unlikely hit, even with LYNX officials. Greene’s next “museum without walls” will be the Art in Odd Places festival Sept. 17-20 of this year.

Equal parts promoter, label owner, hip-hop frontman and multitalented artist, Asaan “Swamburger” Brooks is all-around scene overseer. There’s little that gets by him that he hasn’t already leveraged (or laid plans to leverage) for inspired local events and sick parties.

His band, Solillaquists of Sound, dominates Best of Orlando year after year for Best HipHop (including this year, congrats!), and his label, Second Subject Recordings, spreads his honed skill and influence further to form a legitimate cultural movement that’s been swarming around Swam from his very first open mics hosted more than a decade ago.

Peter Martinez founder, Juice Orlando Bike Share, orlandobikeshare.com

We honestly had doubts that a bike share would ever really take off here – the Orlando area is nothing if not dedicated to its car culture. But this year, Juice Orlando Bike Share hit its stride. The bright-orange bikes are stationed all around Orlando, and the best part is that people are actually using them. Not a day goes by that we don’t see people pedaling along downtown on the sporty Juice cycles.

The Ruckus Orlando City Soccer Club’s officially recognized supporters club, ruckustilwedie.com

Billy Manes editor of Watermark

2015 was the Year of Billy Manes. In February 2015, after the state of Florida’s prohibition on gay marriage was lifted, he married his husband, Tony Mauss. In April, he spent a month at the Djerassi Resident Artists Program, where he completed his first book. And in July, he left Orlando Weekly to take the reins at the region’s premier LGBT publication, Watermark. He may not have won his bid for mayor of Orlando in 2005, and he may not work here anymore, but he’ll always be a prince to us.

No soccer club is complete without its diehard fanbase, and here in Orlando, there’s nobody more diehard than the members of the Ruckus.

They bleed purple, they say in their chants, and promise their team to “drink and sing and never bend, we’ll always follow you ’til the end.” If you go to a game, you can’t miss ’em – they’ll be beating their drums and rousing the crowd, and they even have their own mascot of sorts: The “Orlando Unicorn,” whose real name is Danny Voss, is a ubiquitous, beloved sight at the team’s home games.

Tiffany Roberts Sahaydak head women’s soccer coach, University of Central Florida, ucfknights.com

If you needed another reason to be a fan of UCF’s athletics department, check this out: UCF is one of very few NCAA schools at which women are routinely hired as head coaches for women’s teams. Many schools choose men for those jobs, which is disconcerting to say the least. Not only is UCF bucking that trend, it’s also choosing some kickass women to lead other women to victory on the field. Tiffany Roberts Sahaydak, for instance, is a 1996 Olympic gold medal winner, a member of three World Cup squads and she’s won two NCAA championships. She is going into her third season coaching women’s soccer at UCF, and since she took over the program, the Knights have won three American Athletic Conference championships. Sahaydak is also a two-time AAC coach of the year – and she’s definitely a good sport, as evidenced by her willingness to play along with our royalty-themed photoshoot. orlandoweekly.com

Best Mound of dirt

The leftovers of the round building at the Dr. Phillips Center When the love child of public-private partnership in the form of a new, worldclass arts center for downtown Orlando was delivered, with it came a giant anthill of leftover debris from the demolition of the so-called “round building” that used to be located on the premises. The city had to dismiss Crusader Demolition (some say the organization walked off the job) after the company took forever to take the building down. Even after it was finally gone, the lovely Seneff Plaza hosted a giant hole and a pile of dirt where the building used to be – something even Sheryl Crow pointed out when she was in town for a free outdoor show there. A second company, Pece of Mind Disposal (seriously), was issued a new contract to remove the debris, a task that should be complete by the end of the year, according to the city, and should bank the city $129 million in “liquidated damages.” Molehills into mountains!

PHOTO BY ROB BARTLETT

It appeared in Lake Como Park in spring 2014 – a statue of a pink bunny perched on its haunches peering out at cars that drove around the east side of the traffic circle. Another bunny statue just like it appeared in Langford Park, as well. The statues were erected by City Commissioner Patty Sheehan, who applied to have them installed in honor of her former aide, Chase Smith, who died of cancer in 2013. Smith played the Easter bunny for Easter egg hunts in both Como and Langford parks, and Sheehan thought it would be a nice way to honor his memory and his contributions to Orlando. But earlier this year, some residents living on the circle started complaining about the statue and insisted that it didn’t belong.

Sheehan, who didn’t want her friend’s memorial tainted by negativity, made plans to move the bunny to a park in another neighborhood. But that’s when things got really interesting. Within 24 hours of posting to Facebook about her plans to relocate the bunny, a different group of neighbors chained the bunny to the ground, erected a “Save Our Bunny” sign behind the statue and asked Sheehan to reconsider. In the end, the bunny lovers defeated the bunny haters, and Chase Smith’s memorial stands in its original spot.

When the state’s battle against approving gay marriage finally broke down as a sort of New Year’s Miracle at the beginning of January, the city of Orlando set into motion a plan to make a pretty amazing spectacle by hosting a mass marriage ceremony right there, in broad daylight, on the steps of City Hall. Mayor Buddy Dyer and Commissioner Patty Sheehan headed up the ceremony, which went off without much of a hitch – one heckler was heckled back into silence – and we all lived happily ever after. Especially after the landmark Supreme Court decision this summer, which put a halt to the state-by-state bans and put a heart on the end of every tweet from the rooftops celebrating #LoveWins.

Best republican reprieve

Florida Senate President Andy Gardiner’s attempted compromise on Medicaid expansion, FHIX Florida’s Republican Senate President Andy Gardiner, a fresh face from Orlando whom you may remember from media events with Gov. Rick Scott at Beefy King, pulled a surprise move this year when he introduced a healthcare expansion compromise called FHIX. House Republicans, who obstinately refused to consider any legislation that looked like it might be a nod to Obamacare (although, in truth, the comprehensive plan would have benefited hospitals and insurance companies, but the truth isn’t what Tallahassee pols were looking for), balked.

In the tug-of-war that tied up much of the 2015 session, conservatives who opposed healthcare expansion for low-income individuals prevailed. No expanded Medicaid, no FHIX and no resolution to the healthcare crisis for us. Thanks, politicians!

It’ll help you get around this inconvenient dead-end and prep you to become a pro back-seat driver when you Uber downtown.

It greets you with a moaning ogre and a spitting dragon, there’s a special spot to stomp on and make a fart noise, and a Lego key opens your monkey-guarded room safe. The elevator is an ’80s disco experience you won’t forget, and the rooms – each themed for a Lego toy line (Pirate, Kingdom, Adventure or Lego Friends) – will make your head whirl.

Best road rage I-4 Ultimate Project As if you didn’t think your I-4 commute was bad enough, the Florida Department of Transportation has started to tear up a 21-mile gash of Central Florida’s main headache-inducing artery to make room for express lanes that’ll charge tolls depending on how much traffic is traveling on the roadway at any given time. The $2.3 billion project (aided by a $950 million loan from the feds) will affect 15 interchanges, close a couple of ramps indefinitely, and provide drivers with the strange distraction of trying to figure out exactly how much will be charged to their electronic toll transponders. Happy hating!

Best public records scandal From orange county Government (this year) Dropbox Back in the halcyon days of 2012’s Textgate scandal, it seemed that the Orange County Board of County Commissioners, led by Mayor Teresa Jacobs, had hit a wall in its attempts to shield its internal relationships with lobbyists and Republican operatives. State Attorney Jeff Ashton gave them all slaps on the wrist for deleting text messages and let them know they’d been bad, bad public officials. But rather than let that be a lesson, the county took its communications to an even less transparent model – it started using Dropbox to communicate via the cloud. When political activist group Organize Now learned of this, it went to court to demand access to what was in the Dropbox account. Organize Now won. However, by the time they got there, some of the records in the Dropbox had been deleted. So they then sued to ask for IP addresses that had access to the account. Organize Now won that suit, too. The county responded by ditching Dropbox as a communication platform, noting that it was fraught with security concerns.

We can’t wait for Snapchatgate!

It hit most of Orlando’s relatively new Ivanhood scene like a truck at first: All of the work that had been done to organically grow the Lake Ivanhoe region’s adjacent warehouse district into a hip, fun place was about to be demolished in favor of a mixed-used development that looked a lot like nearby Mills Park in its renderings. Developer Chance Gordy took the heat and, at least in public appearances, threw some cooler water on it by allowing that his development, the Yard at Ivanhoe Village, would continue to be hip and cool. He sat down with a number of the business owners and assured them that the yuppifying of the area would be inclusive and bring them only more business. City Hall approved the development, regardless of the painted frowns from most of the creative set, and now we sit and wait to see if Gordy makes good on his promises.

Best wtF lawsuit

Lawsuit alleges that Valencia College coerced students into volunteering for invasive medical procedures In May, a lawsuit against Valencia College put the school in an uncomfortable light when it alleged that instructors in the school’s well-regarded sonography program coerced female students into allowing other students to use them for practice in administering transvaginal ultrasounds. In its defense, the school pointed out that it’s common for medical students to practice medical techniques on peer volunteers, but it seems that the students who sued the school say they weren’t volunteering for the invasive internal procedure – they claim they were bullied into it by instructors who allegedly told them they’d have to leave the program or be blacklisted from working at local hospitals if they didn’t take part. We won’t even get into some of the even more bizarre aspects of the suit – there was one student who was allegedly nicknamed the “transvag queen,” there are claims of sexual stimulation taking place during the exams and one instructor is accused of telling students that they were “sexy” when they were undergoing the ultrasounds – but after defending the practice as completely ethical, Valencia President Sandy Shugart finally announced in late May that the school would permanently discontinue its policy of using student volunteers for invasive medical diagnostics training.

Winter Park city commission’s proposed changes to the historic preservation ordinance

It was history buffs and architecture purists versus moneyed developers and realtors this year, as the city commission introduced draft amendments to Winter Park’s Land Development Code, Article VIII, Historic Preservation. Silent when the Florida Building Code made construction more expensive for all in 2015, now a small clutch of bullies feels like squashing a democratic movement to preserve a few old houses. Watch the Facebook insults fly in the Winter Park Voice Facebook group (facebook. com/groups/winterparkvoice), where the profit-loving, tear-it-alldown-and-throw-up-something-new types pit themselves against the sometimes-precious preservationists who want to protect heritage.

Best poor excuse for destroying a historic site Tinker Field

When the back-and-forth on the redevelopment of the Citrus Bowl eventually landed on, “Yes, let’s do it in a big way,” most of the local population didn’t give it a second thought. But in the end, it wouldn’t go so smoothly, even with a giant Rolling Stones concert to seal the deal (plus some soccer games that everyone apparently loves to attend). The adjacent Tinker Field baseball stadium, located right next to the Citrus Bowl, was in the way of progress. And even though the field once hosted Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who made his only public appearance in Central Florida there, few public officials seemed to really give the field its due. Over the years, Tinker Field has been relegated to hosting Electric Daisy Carnivals and the like, and the field was mostly in shambles. However, community activists felt it was important to save the historic baseball field and begged the city to renovate it, turn it into a community resource and preserve it for future generations. That, however, did not jibe with the mayor’s plans for the bowl.

As a compromise, the city preserved the diamond, agreed to throw up a plaque of historic designation and call it a day. So, basically, the field will continue to be used for EDM dance parties and overflow for larger Citrus Bowl events.

Best reason to lie down in public spaces Black Lives Matter protests downtown

Last year, tensions boiled over after a series of judgments were made in favor of white cops attacking black civilians, specifically in the national cases of Mike Brown and Eric Garner. The #blacklivesmatter movement struck a nerve in Central Florida, based on the previous stand-your-ground cases of Trayvon Martin and Marissa Alexander. On several occasions, Orlando residents stood in solidarity with the movement, most notably outside the Amway Center in December, where more than 100 protesters marched after walking the core of downtown in order to lie down and hold a “die-in.” If it seems a bit too symbolic or demonstrative, try standing around a mass of people screaming “I can’t breathe” and see if it doesn’t break your heart. It should. It did ours.

Best Jobs at disney, if you can Get them Tech jobs for legal immigrants holding H-1B visas

In early June, the New York Times ran a story headlined “Pink Slips at Disney. But First Training Foreign Replacements,” which outlined the theme park’s insensitive plan to lay off 250 IT workers and replace them with immigrants from other nations who can legally work in the United States using H-1B visas. The goal, according to the Times story, was cost-cutting. Workers from places like India are willing to work for far less money than their American counterparts, and it seems Disney was being pretty mercenary about how it was going about making the change. Workers could get severance pay or transfers, but only if they were willing to adequately train their replacements. The backlash was huge, and Computerworld has since reported that the company has had a change of heart about the program – it’s even allowed some of the workers who thought they were going to be fired to keep their jobs.

460 N. Orlando Ave., Winter Park, 321-203-2526, adjmkt.com

The artisan wonderland we used to have to trek down Semoran Boulevard for opened up a smaller space that’s just as special in Winter Park Village, calling upon seasoned local vendors new to the Adjectives way of life (like much-loved vintage and handmade shop Etoile Boutique) to create an extremely appealing showroom of oddities, antiques and handcrafted goods. There’s no better way to kill time before, say, a matinee or gorging yourself at Cheesecake Factory, with plenty of spectacles and feasts for your eyes in their attentively curated collections to rival those more typical plaza draws.

Best affordable veterinary Care

Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando’s affordable clinic 2727 Conroy Road; also 2800 County Home Road, Sanford, 407-351-7722, petallianceorlando.org

One of the biggest reasons people give their pets up is, sadly, due to expense. And when pets are relinquished to shelters, it’s not just the animals or the people who suffer – the community that has to absorb the costs of so many homeless animals pays the price, too. So we’ve got to give big props to the Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando, which operates a lower-cost clinic that offers many of the basic services pet owners need (spay/neuter, bloodwork, deworming, vaccines, X-rays and more) for a discount. It’s still not going to be cheap to care for your pet, but it’ll hurt a little less, and they accept CareCredit financing, too.

Best hole-in-the-wall local meat market Orlando Meats

Orlando Meats is in the most unlikely of places. It’s a tiny hole in the wall in a bland strip mall just above Narcoosee Road on Goldenrod. It doesn’t have a huge selection, and most of what’s on sale is frozen, but (and this is a big but) it’s dedicated to selling grass-fed, locally raised beef, as well as pastured pork, chicken, goat and more, from the Florida Fresh Meat Company in Ocala. You can purchase by the piece, or order a whole butchered animal, priced by the pound. It’ll cost you more than what you pay at Publix, but if your conscience is telling you that factory-farmed meats are not just environmentally, but also ethically, unsustainable, you’ll soon find yourself forking over a few more bucks a pound for peace of mind.

Does a passion for great coffee go hand in hand with a love of midcentury furniture? Not necessarily, but third-wave coffee and American furniture of the 1950s and ’60s share a few traits: They’re both meticulously crafted, lovely to look at and best enjoyed in a beautiful environment. In Orlando, that environment is Propagation, a place that will seriously eff with your blood pressure: The calm, light-filled room, tastefully dotted with tiny succulents, will lower it; the Lineage Roasting coffee will jack it back up. When you’re ready to drop more than a fiver, proprietors Brittany and Travis will walk you through prices on the immaculate and often-changing collection of midcentury furniture, which is also for sale.

1219 N. Orange Ave., 407-250-6783, cloakanddapper.us

The male cliché of the food-stained-T-shirt-wearing slob is pretty much over. Even those millennials who wear skate shoes to work instead of ties make sure it’s just the right pair of skate shoes, and a grown man is always going to gravitate toward well-cut apparel, preferably made here in the United States of America. Cloak and Dapper owner Calvin Cearley is one such man, and he’s preaching to a local choir of guys who love plaid shirts, raw denim, leather work boots and barbershop razor cuts. Brothers are doin’ it for themselves here, with a tight collection of clothing, accessories and grooming products – there’s no longer any excuse for boring board shorts, ragged shoelaces or an ill-groomed beard when Cloak and Dapper is right there in the Ivanhood. orlandoweekly.com

Best place to Buy more nutella than is good for you Trevi Pasta

2120 Edgewater Drive, 407-985-2577, facebook.com/trevipastallc

Chef-owner Vanessa Falcone and her family focus, to magnificent effect, on creating some of the best fresh pasta and gelato in Orlando. But Trevi Pasta’s Edgewater Drive space also hosts a wall filled with a selection of Italian specialties – staples and delicacies imported from the home country to bring a bit of sprezzatura to your American table, like truffled rice, artichoke cream, high-quality olive oil … or a literal bucket of Nutella. Three kilos (6.6 pounds) is probably more of the cocoa-hazelnut spread than anyone needs to take on board, but Trevi has it if you want it.

Best authentic german market Hollerbach’s Magnolia Square Market

Take a real German expat to this market in downtown Sanford, opened by the same folks who run the wildly popular (and always a good time) German beer hall Hollerbach’s Willow Tree Café right around the corner, and wait for them to gasp with delight. First, at the German candies and chocolates in the front of the store, then at the German beer and wine selection that takes up the entire left-hand side of the store, then at the German soft drinks and deli and dry goods that line the walls and counters. From teawursts to leberkase, Tucher to spaetzle noodles, you’ll find it all (and more) here.

Best substitute For a tahiti vacay Overwater bungalows at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort

PHOTO VIA DISNEY

1600 Seven Seas Drive, 407-824-2000, disneyworld.disney.go.com

What we have in common with the South Pacific: overwater bungalows with private plunge pools that cost well over $1,000 per night.

What we have that they don’t: vistas of Cinderella castle, a prime and private viewing of the nightly Magic Kingdom fireworks, a front-row seat to the Electric Water Pageant.

Enough said.

Whether you’re a studied music head or you’re in need of schooling, Uncle Tony will not lead you astray. The vinyl pickers at this boutique record store finally got a permanent shop for their groovy collection of rare and hard-to-find discs that basically define what tasteful music is.

Flip through their racks, which range from psych to jazz to funk to soul, and you’ll see immediately that these aren’t the same old bins that’ve been kicking up dust in the area for ages.

Best date night dinner for a Vegan and a Carnivore Soco

629 E. Central Blvd., 407-849-1800, socothorntonpark.com

When you’re in a “mixed marriage” (meat-eater/meat-shunner), it’s the special event meals that are tough: birthdays, anniversaries and the like.

Ever on the lookout for an upscale restaurant with a mix of meaty and meatless on the menu, we’ve found in the last year that Soco fills the bill nicely. While one side of the table feasts on crispy oysters and hanger steak, the other can be just as happy with smoked black-eyed pea tortellini and Southern field pea-andpreserved lemon salad. The chef is often happy to improvise as well, shunning the short-sighted antivegan bias of some kitchens.

And blessed also is Tonda Corrente, aka La Femme du Fromage, whose cheese stall at East End Market is not only capable of launching a killer cheese plate, but also serves up a dreamy grilled cheese sandwich – we’re talking a serious fourcheese blend on Olde Hearth bread, not some Kraft Singleson-Wonder mess – and from 3-5 p.m. Tuesday-Friday, they’re $2 off. Go on, ruin your dinner.

The Lumas, Pratos and Bocas of Park Avenue offer plenty of space for dolled-up scenesters to dine, but true gastronomes in search of formidable food sans the fuss could always head to Barnie’s CoffeeKitchen on Friday and Saturday nights for a dose of caffeine and a side of chef Camilo Velasco’s inventive fare. Not so anymore: Shortly before press time, the restaurant decided to focus on a Monday-Saturday lunch service along with a Sunday brunch. Not one to shy away from experimenting with flavors and techniques, Velasco pushed the boundaries and challenged our perceptions of what “café food” could be, and did so in a kitchen no bigger than a closet.

Best Piggy twist on fried rice Bacon fried rice at Chan’s Chinese Cuisine 1901 E. Colonial Drive, 407-896-0093

Although a resourceful dish that can make smart use of scrap ingredients, fried rice has gotten lazy in America, and it’s earned a bad name from things like the char siu séance that we call pork fried rice here. But, locals, break free of that brokedown idea forever with the bacon fried rice at longstanding authentic Chinese resto Chan’s.

Elevated with bacon and Chinese greens, it’s a mountain of sustenance hefty enough for a lumberjack but tasty enough for a bon vivant.

Best savory Cupcake Fig + Goat Cheese Cupcake from Jillycakes

Davenport’s Wallaby Ranch serves up a damn fine brunch in its invitingly rustic canteen, but chef Carmen’s eggs, sautéed veggies, and oatmeal taste all the better after an exhilarating glide 2,000 feet up in midair. Wait, what? That’s right, the Wallaby Ranch offers tandem hanggliding for thrillseekers, and it’s an experience as unforgettable as the convivial meal that follows after touchdown. If you’re thinking Epcot’s Soarin’ is a reasonable facsimile of the real thing, do yourself a favor and make a trip out to the Wallaby Ranch to compare.

Best workday hangover Cure

Artisan’s Table afternoon breakfast 22 E. Pine St., 407-730-7499, artisanstableorlando.com

Mom always said that breakfast was the most important meal of the day, but it wasn’t until much later that we realized that’s because it soaks up all of the alcohol from the night before. Luckily, Artisan’s Table serves breakfast to downtown boozehounds until 3 p.m. every day. Whether you can only handle basic oatmeal or you need the protein-packed power of the egg and chorizo strata (that’s pronounced “breakfast lasagna”) or huevos rancheros bowl, a late breakfast here can turn your whole day around if you’re dragging ass at work.

Turtle Mound Steamed Sampler at JB’s Fish Camp 859 Pompano Ave., New Smyrna Beach, 386-427-5747, jbsfishcamp.com

We can’t think of a better way to end a day at the beach than with a Turtle Mound Steamed Sampler from JB’s Fish Camp. It’s a massive tray full of fresh steamed clams, oysters, shrimp, rock shrimp and whole crabs, and occasionally whatever other shellfish might be on hand in the kitchen. It’s divinely fresh and best when eaten outside on the deck overlooking the river with a cold beer in hand. There’s more than enough to share, and all you have to shell out for all that buttery, steamed goodness is a mere $28. (See what we did there?)

Best Bonus Bites Sour and half-sour pickles at Brown’s New York Deli

College Park

156 Lake Ave., Maitland, 407-960-6999, brownsnydeli.com

College Park’s food scene, already not too shabby (RusTeak, Outpost, Hubbly Bubbly, Trevi Pasta and more), is about to get a major upgrade, and residents of the 32804 have been bursting at the seams for the chance to, well, burst at the seams. No less than four eateries – Armando’s Cucina Italiana, PR’s Taco Palace, Caliente and Croissant Gourmet – will open in the neighborhood in the coming weeks. Given the lackluster efforts of the now-closed Taste, Juliana’s Fine Tuscan and Hangar Bar & Grill, these new restos can’t open soon enough.

Best new somm Jill Davis

Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steak House, 9150 International Drive, delfriscos.com

As a sommelier at the Four Seasons Resort, Jill Davis’ curly locks and cutesy smile belied her undeniable cabernet cognoscence. The 28-year-old certainly walked the walk, but when she swirled, sniffed, swallowed, then talked the talk that oenophiles love, it didn’t go unnoticed. Adding more heat to her profile, this fall Davis will be recognized as one of Wine Enthusiast’s “40 Under 40,” saluting a new generation of trendsetting imbibers. The honor will undoubtedly give her new employers – Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steak House, opening very soon on I-Drive – an added cachet.

Best way to humanely taste Bacon that doesn’t involve internet seaweed Casey’s Bacon Salt from Poca’s Hottest

PHOTO VIA POCA’S HOTTEST

Artegon Marketplace, 5250 International Drive, pocashottest.com

Even though Oregon State University claims to have invented a strain of seaweed that tastes like bacon when it’s cooked, we’re still wary of promises from the Internet in the wake of Prime Day. You can still make your seaweed – or anything, really – taste like bacon with this somehow-vegan mix of salt and spices concocted by Poca’s Hottest. Head (Chief?) Poca, Wendy Davis, is currently in talks with Winn-Dixie to bring her sauces and bacon salt to supermarket shelves throughout Florida, which would make baconing up that caprese salad (seriously, try that) even easier – easier than snagging patented kelp from Oregon, at the very least. orlandoweekly.com

When a Japanese delegation from Mie Prefecture invited us to sample their world-renowned Matsusaka beef for the first time ever in the United States, we set aside any and all appointments, as well as any vegetarian sympathies, and hightailed it to the Wyndham Lake Buena Vista. There we sampled supremely marbled “Special Grade” beef procured from virgin cows that were regularly massaged, groomed, fattened on beer and a high-fiber diet, and “showered with affection” for 900 days. It all makes for the finesttasting beef in the world, and that includes Kobe.

Best ladies’ room

Women and Abstraction at CFAM Cornell Fine Arts Museum, Rollins College, 1000 Holt Ave., Winter Park, 407-646-2526, cfam.rollins.edu

In April, the Cornell Fine Arts Museum opened Women and Abstraction, a major survey of abstract and minimalist art made by female artists from the late 1940s to the present. For CFAM curator Amy Galpin, it was a passion project long in the making; for the rest of the community, it was simply jaw-dropping.

Works by giants like Louise Nevelson, Georgia O’Keeffe and Helen Frankenthaler joined lesserknowns like Hayal Pozanti and Shinique Smith – 80 years’ worth of abstract art so powerful it gave viewers chills. Under the leadership of Galpin and director Ena Heller, and with this show coming on the heels of CFAM’s formidable Kara Walker exhibition, Harper’s Pictorial History of the Civil War (Annotated), it definitely felt like the Year of the Woman at CFAM.

Best annual tradition

OMA’s Florida Prize in Contemporary Art Orlando Museum of Art, 2416 N. Mills Ave., 407-896-4231, omart.org

Are we acting somewhat prematurely in naming this event, in just its second year, Best Annual Tradition? Well, in a word, yes, but we’re hoping a warm reception will ensure its return every summer for years to come. Both years, the Florida Prize show has made us feel like this is a city we want to live in. We are so proud to see our flagship institution embracing contemporary art (not to mention becoming a player on the national stage with shows like January’s Maya Lin: A History of Water) that we might be bragging to our New York and L.A. friends just a little bit. Florida has a lot to offer in the way of vibrant new art, and the Florida Prize puts the best of it in front of lucky Orlandoans – while also putting a hefty cash prize in front of one of the artists every year.

(PS: Please keep it up or we’re taking back this award.)

Most of them aren’t famous (yet!), but the handful of artists who host tables at Participation are unfailingly gracious, funny, warm and interesting. Each table is decorated with a different artist’s work, and during dinner they discuss how and why those pieces were inspired. Before and after dinner, guest can wander the museum’s beautiful grounds observing art in action all around them – it’s a midsummer (well, spring) night’s dream.

Integrating computer programming with visual art, Selikoff’s taking it on the road to Art Basel (the mothership in Switzerland, not the Miami Beach offshoot) and math-art conferences in Canada and Europe. At his recent “Bring Your Own Beamer (flashlight),” he co-curated a pop-up art happening where people messed around with light that computers also messed around with, creating starry Van Gogh effects on the wall. And in June, TEDxOrlando announced that Selikoff would be their inaugural artist-inresidence – presenting a talk of his own and designing the 2015 set. Selikoff’s widely varied practice indicates he’s on his way toward something special. orlandoweekly.com

We’re fast becoming a city growing a stand-up scene of our own rather than just another stop on the touring circuit (and a chance to ride some rides at the parks), and the Indie Comedy Fest was both a reflection of that scene and a spur to further development. This year’s fest, Oct. 1-4, brings headliners Sean Patton and Eddie Pepitone to anchor four days jam-packed with funny.

Brooklyn conceptual artist Tom McGrath made the glowing artwork that hangs above patrons in the Pugh Theater – 34 back-lit panels hand-painted, screened, sprayed, spattered and brushed on architectural polymer. According to the artist, the wild vortex of imagery encompasses “silkscreens of brushstrokes and splatters that I made and photographed, vector meshes of flight maps for Orlando and major central Florida airports, Judson Theater dancers, breakdancers … a distorted sample of the painting ‘Victory Over the Sun’ by Lissitzky, a Tiepolo engraving, a hypercube section, a diagram of the entire Internet, a painting of a cloud by Constable” and more. Please just remember to stop staring at the ceiling when the performers hit the stage.

Best comeback

Theatre Downtown wins Patrons’ Pick at Fringe theatredowntown.net

When Theatre Downtown was evicted from their Orange Avenue home early this year, they could have given up the ghost, but instead they came roaring back at the Orlando International Fringe Theatre Festival.

Led by Chris Prueitt as the titular poet, Theatre Downtown’s Poe won a Patrons’ Pick Award for the most tickets sold in their venue. Hopefully this will be the start of a long and healthy afterlife for the beloved community troupe.

Best non-edible reason to drive to deland Museum of Art – DeLand

100 and 600 N. Woodland Blvd., DeLand, 386-734-4371, moartdeland.org

We’re all aware DeLand is home to a burgeoning culinary scene. (And if you don’t know, now you know.)

But you might not have realized that their museum is a destination spot for fans of contemporary art, with shows in the last year including Op Art pioneer Richard Anuszkiewicz and postwar Modernist Byron Browne. It’s not all fish tacos at Cress and craft brews at Persimmon Hollow, you know, though a trip to the museum followed by visits to one or both of those places sounds like an awfully pleasant Saturday afternoon.

Best new art power couple

PHOTO BY CONSTANCE KOSTREVSKI

Glen Gentele (director, Orlando Museum of Art) and Shannon Fitzgerald (incoming director, Mennello Museum of American Art) “New” in that they are new to Orlando, not to each other – Gentele and Fitzgerald first met and hit it off in 2001 when both were working in St. Louis. New, also, to the institutions they lead – Gentele took over as the director of OMA in 2013 after the retirement of Marena Grant Morrisey, who’d led the institution for 35 years; and Fitzgerald arrives at the Mennello in September to serve as just the second director in that museum’s 17-year lifetime. They will work right across Loch Haven Park from each other, and we can’t help but imagine all sorts of romcom-style hijinks, despite both leaders’ very serious curatorial and directorial experience. At the very least, it makes for an easily shared commute.

Best reward for loyalty

Hannibal Buress stops in to Speakeasy Despite its beloved status among Orlando wordsmiths prior to its recent finale, Speakeasy at Will’s Pub – like any recurring event – had very hit-ormiss attendance. People who missed the Aug. 19, 2014, edition of Speakeasy, however, were shown exactly why it pays to make the effort to get out of the house. He’s got a new Comedy Central show and a big reputation these days, but back then Hannibal Buress was in town for a two-man show at UCF when he dropped in, signed up and tested out some new material to a handful of surprised – and later smug – regulars.

Best underground support system for artists The Falcon

819 E. Washington St., 407-423-3060, thefalconbar.com

The casual nature of the Falcon’s ultra-cool themed art shows (frequently dedicated to pop gods like Tim Burton and Bill Murray) allows amateur artists to flex new skills and lesser-known talents to run wild in a safe space.

Many artists we got to know through these short shows are now nationally recognized, like Sea of Bees and Jaime Margary. The best part is to find out who’s next, you just have to dip into the art bar on any given night when you might be doubly treated to focused showcases of equally budding bands.

Best place to Find art elements Demolition sites around Winter Park

This year, it’s the dumpsters of Winter Park, where the mass demolition of beautiful old houses has created an extravaganza of soulful junk to pick through. Anywhere there’s a residential builder’s sign, it usually means good pickings for fine architectural details on their way to the landfill. Best recent find: some exquisite carved oak desk drawers from an old built-in cabinet that was ripped out and discarded. Nothing like American craftsmanship to stimulate an artist’s imagination.

Best way to read in a moving car “Functionally Literate Radio” on WPRK

9-10 a.m. Thursdays on WPRK 91.5-FM, functionallyliterate.org

If you’re a passenger, there’s a good chance reading in the car will give you motion sickness; if you’re behind the wheel – well, just don’t do that.

So what’s a bibliophile avid for the new-new to do on the morning drive?

Tune in to WPRK Thursday mornings to hear Jared Silvia, Ryan Rivas and authors from Orlando and elsewhere in “a celebration of literary culture and community in Orlando, FL and beyond” that serves as an extension of the Functionally Literate reading series. If you can’t catch the airwaves version, hear archived episodes on the website – in podcast form, it’s purely portable for the active reader on the go!

Best news for performing pachyderms

Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus retiring their elephants ringling.com

Back in January, in our annual review of the latest Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey circus tour, we asked if it was time to leave “innocent enjoyment” of performing elephants in the past, and called on Ringling to turn their pachyderms into “corporate icons instead of current employees.” Less than two months later, the circus announced that they would phase out their elephants, retiring them all to a Polk County conservation center by 2018.

Not saying that Ringling’s owners at Feld Entertainment read this paper, but … you’re welcome, Jumbo.

Best secret weapon for visiting artists Flying Horse Editions

ART: “CANDY CROWN” BY WILL COTTON

flyinghorse.cah.ucf.edu

UCF’s prestigious fine-art print studio Flying Horse Editions has had, even for them, an unusually high-profile year in the national art press.

First Luis Gispert, in the New York Times T Magazine, credited an idea that struck him while at Flying Horse as the inspiration behind his new series, Aqua Regia. Then modern master Will Cotton decided he wanted to experiment with lithography, something he hadn’t done since art school, and when he heard about Flying Horse’s facilities – including their giant litho stone – he came down to Orlando at director Theo Lotz’s invitation for a residency. A piece he made in the Flying Horse studio, in fact, became the cover of the Summer 2015 issue of ArtNews.

It’s never been a local secret that FHE attracts international art stars to spend time in Orlando; now the rest of the world knows, too. orlandoweekly.com

Best shrine to Black lives that mattered

Wells’ Built Museum of African-American History and Culture

PHOTO VIA CITY OF ORLANDO

511 W. South St., 407-245-7535, wellsbuiltmuseumofafricanamericanhistoryandculture.org

Cab Calloway, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Bo Diddley and countless other legends rocked the South Street Casino in its day, but they wouldn’t have been welcomed at any of the hotels in town – so when Dr. William Wells built the nightclub, he went ahead and built a hotel right next door. Now his hotel is a museum of astounding treasures tracing the African-American history of Orlando. Tour the museum – including the re-created hip 1930s-era hotel guest room – and imagine Dr. Wells bringing Ray Charles a drink while he was getting down on the piano in the lobby. orlandoweekly.com

Best new imaginative Music series

The In-Between Series The Gallery at Avalon Island, 39 S. Magnolia Ave., 407-913-1426, avalongallery.org

Exhibit turnovers are usually the least public, least artistic times of a gallery. At the hands of gallery director Pat Greene and the network of art-forward musicians in his orbit, however, the Gallery at Avalon Island now uses this brief window each month to present a relaxed but engrossing evening of live conceptual music that has so far included percussive, electronic, audiovisual and orchestral performances.

It’s cultured, it’s progressive and it’s free (but donations gladly accepted).

As the city’s most established annual festival, FMF has long become synonymous with major label business. But rather than topple with that crumbling paradigm, the organizers this year made some seismic and, frankly, surprising shake-ups. First, they ditched the headliners because the fallacy of paying big bucks for washed-up names finally sunk in. Then they got back to refocusing on unsigned, mostly indigenous talent. Finally, and most notably, they made the shows free, thereby removing all barriers to what this is all supposed to be about: the music.

Of all the hype and expectation leading up to the opening of this new crown jewel of the city’s cultural scene, practically none of it was about music, or at least cool music.

This was supposed to be your parents’ nightlife. But it’s demonstrated some real taste already by making smart moves like partnering with leading Orlando indie promoter Foundation Presents to do excellent shows like Hundred Waters, Mark Kozelek and Justin Townes Earle. Bravo and encore to that.

Their song “Show Me Love” was the defining score to a Coca-Cola ad that also doubled as an anti-hate, anti-bullying campaign. The placement was a major coup by their management, whose head also has Orlando roots.

Brewed with Redlight Redlight’s Brent Hernandez, one of Orlando’s top craft beer authorities, Bock n’ Roll is a small-batch, bourbon barrel-aged bock. That’s how you toast your release in style.

Best new Burst of scene energy False Punk

facebook.com/falsepunk

It’s an odd time in Orlando’s music scene, where there seem to be fewer active bands, and it can make things feel stale when the same local support springs up on every concert bill.

Enter False Punk, whose thrashing introduction to the scene was a sudden injection of brash showmanship that shook up the hive mentality of many more zombified bands going through the motions. Drawing a rowdy crowd and intentionally riling them up, False Punk adds a needed shock to the system at every show they play, and so it bears repeating.

Many of the creative spirits who formerly splashed about within the walls of the Peacock Room before it closed seem to have found a new home in which to hang their wild spin-art notions: Spacebar. After the bar committed to music culture by buying a native sound system and hiring techs to man it, an influx of concerts and DJ nights hit the venue, its BFF/neighbor Sandwich Bar and the back lot between them to create the latest, greatest party environment in the unsuspecting strip that looks so dead by daylight but thrives so vivaciously by night.

Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, 1600 Seven Seas Drive, 407-824-2000, disneyworld.disney.go.com

Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto at the recently refurbished Polynesian Village hotel is undoubtedly the best watering hole to debut at Walt Disney World this year. The tiki-kitsch cocktails are rum-centric and ’spensive (running from $15 to $50 and upward), but they pack quite a punch and you get to keep the hefty punchbowls as a souvenir. You must sit inside the bar to experience the noisy special effects that accompany each drink, which often means a multi-hour wait; the outdoor terrace is a much easier place to unwind if you’re willing to forgo the aural experience. orlandoweekly.com

Some wicker furniture, grass mats on the walls and hula girls serving drinks does not a genuine tiki bar make – as any true tikiphile will tell you, tiki is not cheesy beach-themed decor and ukulele music. It’s a lifestyle, and people who are into it take it seriously. Which is why people who are truly into tiki culture like Aku Aku Tiki Bar, a Polynesian-themed oasis in downtown Orlando that embraces tiki culture like no other bar in town. The artwork on the walls is by tikiphile artists, the drinks served at the bar are authentic tropical cocktails made with quality ingredients (no drink mixes here), the decor is retro, the atmo is laid-back, and yes, there are real tiki god totems here, carved by genuine tiki artists. Stop in to Aku Aku, order yourself a Tigerfucker, marvel at the real pufferfish lanterns hanging over the bar and pray that Kane Milohai smiles upon you.

Sure, the city randomly selected the trees that they dubbed “significant,” but we’d be stumped to find a more appealing way to while away a fall day than visiting Orlando’s most scenic parks (Dickson Azalea!

Looking to get elevated on I-Drive? We’d never advise anything illegal (and there’s absolutely no smoking inside the air-conditioned capsules), but we can’t think of a better place to get reeeeeally high than Merlin Entertainment’s new Orlando Eye observation wheel at I-Drive 360. During your 20-odd-minute odyssey up to 400 feet and back, you’ll be able to see for miles and miles and miles – so long as a sudden lightning storm doesn’t turn your revolution into a bad trip.

If it bugs you to see how much trash floats around in Orlando’s many lakes and streams, do something about it. Join Eco-Action for one of its regular Sunday morning lake cleanups, at which volunteers go out in canoes to collect the foam, plastic and other trash that clogs the waterways and injures wildlife. Don’t have your own canoe? No worries – Eco-Action brings them along. Just make sure to register for the cleanup to reserve your spot.

Orange County Recreation and Fitness Center memberships multiple locations, 407-836-6200, orangecountyfl.net

Did you know that Orange County has six fully equipped fitness centers located in parks around the county that offer cardio equipment, weight rooms, locker rooms, fitness classes and more? Better yet, did you know you can take advantage of these facilities for just $100 per year? Don’t want to commit to a full year? Join the program for 90 days for just $25. There’s no excuse not to take advantage of this insanely cheap opportunity to get in shape.

Best tailgate

Food Truck Bazaar pre-game at Orlando City Soccer Club games Citrus Bowl, 1 Citrus Bowl Place, thefoodtruckbazaar.com

God bless Mark Baratelli for saving us from our own shitty burgers and even worse stadium food. Now, on home match days, instead of wilty chili cheese fries and $8 Heinekens, we can feast on lobster rolls, wood-fired pizza, ropa vieja and mac & cheese-filled empanadas until kickoff.

Best way to feel like a Baller without actually Being one

Amway Center Box Seats at Orlando Solar Bears Games 400 W. Church St., 407-440-7000, amwaycenter.com

You don’t have to shell out to sit in a private box and watch hockey in your hometown.

Some of the companies who lease the boxes at the Amway Center release the seats to the public if they’re not being used. So for about $35, you’ll score a comfy lounge seat with prime viewing. Order a tower of pizzas and a couple of pitchers to feel like you’re really LeBron-ing it (or should we say Ovechkin-ing it?).

Escapology, the slickest incarnation of the idea that we’ve experienced locally, provides Hollywood-style music and detailed theming to make your together time especially memorable. And if you can emerge still on the same team after 60 minutes of being stumped by obscure solutions, your relationship can survive anything.

Best salvaging of a stadium deal

Orlando City Soccer Club decides to build its own stadium For the better part of two years, there’s been a tug-of-war between Orlando City Soccer Club (with support from Mayor Buddy Dyer) and the state Legislature over securing additional funding needed to build a Major League Soccer stadium in the Parramore area. Dyer was able to convince the county to chip in some cash, but negotiations with the state went afoul as the budget negotiations between the House and Senate collapsed this year. Not one to waste time, OCSC co-owner Phil Rawlins scrambled and managed to pull together the cash to finance the stadium on his own, leaving the county and city with dollar-sign smiles and potentially allowing some of the funding that was set aside for the stadium to fix other things, like the second phase of the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts. orlandoweekly.com

Best super reason to watch the orlando magic next season “Super Mario” nba.com/magic

PHOTO BY ROB BARTLETT

Magic fans have been patient with – and perhaps dismissive of – their NBA team during the past few disappointing seasons. While the 2015 season features a new coach, Magic vet Scott Skiles, fretting on the end of the bench, he’s not the personality everyone’s sweating most this summer. Instead it’s rookie Mario Hezonja, whose early dexterity in summer league caused the team to set him aside to keep him safe until the real action starts in the fall. He’s been prematurely dubbed “Super Mario,” and we’re confident he’ll power-up the franchise.

Ever since an unlikely alliance was struck between Full Sail and the WWE, the university has been home to the next generation of body-slamming, suplexing, legdropping badass men and women of the professional wrestling universe.

NXT is a product that takes both up-and-coming as well as tried-andtrue wrestling talent, slaps a big old WWE brand on them, and pits them against each other for wide-eyed Orlando audiences. Tapings happen monthly, and tickets can be purchased through the WWE website, but your best bet is to mooch some from a Full Sail employee. When you get to an NXT event, the roar of the crowd, colorful characters and nonstop entertainment make this easily one of the most explosive experiences Orlando has to offer. Even if wrestling isn’t your thing, or you still think it’s a fake sport for rednecks (get out of the ’90s, chump), you’ll catch on to the infectious chants pretty quickly. Who knows – you may even come back for more.

Nobody runs Critical Mass – it just happens. This cycling event (aka the world’s largest bike ride) coincides with other rides all around the world that take place on the last Friday of every month at about 5:30 p.m. People gather in a predetermined location, then ride through the streets of their city.

Sometimes it’s for a cause, like when Critical Mass dedicated a ride to saving the trees in Orlando’s Constitution Green Park or when the group rides to remember cyclists killed by cars. But usually it’s just for the sake of cycling and reminding people that the streets should be safe for everyone, not just people driving gas guzzlers.

Midnight Movies: The Human Centipede III (Final Sequence)

Golden Pelicans Record Release Party

touting a 500-person daisy chain of t ass-to-mouth prisoners as its main attraction, The Human Centipede III (Final Sequence) is clearly mistitled (500 inmates x 4 limbs per inmate = that’s a human millipede, dummies), but no one’s going to care. Maybe the cleverest thing about Dutch filmmaker tom t six’s Human Centipede series is the way that each film becomes the inciting work of fiction of the next film. the seriously fucked-up parking garage attendant of The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence) is inspired to commit unspeakable acts by watching The Human Centipede (First Sequence), and now the prison administrators of the Final Sequence steal their idea for an incarceration solution that would make even Joe Arpaio blush for Full Sequence. so the original idea gets digested and passed out each time in a more vile form, just like – hm, we can’t think of an appropriate simile. can you?

En(grain)ed: New Artwork by Christie Miga

who doesn’t love a good cabaret? we’re singing with joy and anticipation for the orlando Gay chorus’ performance this saturday, which we don’t think will be your average cabaret. for the event’s venue, oGc is ditching the typical local theater and treating the audience to an evening at the orlando Museum of Art. the four ensembles of the chorus, plus smaller groups and soloists, are set to sing their hearts out to favorites from popular hits like The Wizard of Oz and nbc’s musical series Smash. the night begins with complimentary appetizers and a cash bar, but if you’re feeling like a very important person, fork over a little more money for the pre-show meet-and-greet, where you’ll rub shoulders with the group’s new conductor, harold wright, and emcee Julie broughton of wkMG Local 6, not to mention get access to gourmet hors d’oeuvres and an open bar. – Caroline Fernandez

FRIDAY, 31

Rocky Votolato MUSIC Sharply sweet, stripped-down indie folk requires a hardy constitution to do it well and be able to sell it (as in become credible, not the commercial drip of mass-marketed coffeehouse comps). It’s not that one must be depressed to create good folk music, but that the self-exploration the music compels urges an authenticity, which anyone who has dug deep enough can recognize as a reflective process that’s predominantly terrifying. Singer-songwriter Rocky Votolato, vocal about and actively cognizant of his own dips into depression, has a career that pauses and swells with his ups and downs.

Now he’s on an upswing, with a new record, Hospital Handshakes, and a new EP with like-minded folk strummer Chuck Ragan, Kindred Spirit, both released this year after a three-year blip in output. Welcome him back as he comes to town for a full band performance of these new songs and more. – Ashley Belanger

with Dave Hause, Chris Farren | 8 p.m. | The Social, 54 N. Orange Ave. | 407-246-1419 | thesocial.org | $12-$14

ARIES (March 21-April 19) “I am very much in love with no one in particular,” says actor Ezra Miller. His statement would make sense coming out of your mouth right about now. So would this one: “I am very much in love with almost everyone I encounter.” Or this one: “I am very much in love with the wind and moon and hills and rain and rivers.” Is this going to be a problem? How will you deal with your overwhelming urge to overflow? Will you break people’s hearts and provoke uproars everywhere you go, or will you rouse delight and bestow blessings? As long as you take yourself lightly, I foresee delight and blessings.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) In her io9.com article on untranslatable words, Esther Inglis-Arkell defines the Chinese term wei-wu-wei as “conscious non-action … a deliberate, and principled, decision to do nothing whatsoever, and to do it for a particular reason.” In my astrological opinion, the coming days would be a favorable time to explore and experiment with this approach. I think you will reap wondrous benefits if you slow down and rest in the embrace of a pregnant pause. The mysteries of silence and emptiness will be rich resources.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) “I always liked side-paths, little dark back-alleys behind the main road – there one finds adventures and surprises, and precious metal in the dirt.” The character named Dmitri Karamazov makes that statement in Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s novel The Brothers Karamazov. And now I’m thinking that you might like to claim his attitude as your own. Just for a while, you understand. Not forever. The magic of the side paths and backalleys may last for no more than a few weeks, and then gradually fade. But in the meantime, the experiences you uncover there could be fun and educational. I do have one question for you, though: What do you think Dmitri meant by “precious metal in the dirt”?

Money? Gold? Jewelry? Was he speaking metaphorically? I’m sure you’ll find out.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) “Sometimes the road less traveled is less traveled for a reason,” says comedian Jerry Seinfeld. His implication is that rejecting traditional strategies and conventional wisdom doesn’t always lead to success. As a professional rebel myself, I find it painful to agree even a little bit with that idea. But I do think it’s applicable to your life right now. For the foreseeable future, compulsive nonconformity is likely to yield mediocrity. Putting too much emphasis on being unique rather than on being right might distract you from the truth. My advice: Stick to the road more traveled.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) I expect you to be in a state of constant birth for the next three weeks. Awakening and activation will come naturally. Your drive to blossom and create may be irresistible, bordering on unruly. Does that sound overwhelming? I don’t think it will be a problem as long as you cultivate a mood of amazed amusement about it. (P.S. This upsurge is a healthy response to the dissolution that preceded it.)

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Expiration dates loom. Fond adieus and last laughs and final hurrahs are on tap. Unfinished business is begging you to give it your smartest attention while there’s still time to finish it with elegance and grace. So here’s my advice for you, my on-the-verge friend: Don’t save any of your tricks, ingenuity or enthusiasm for later. This is the later you’ve been saving them for.

You are more ready than you realize to try what has always seemed improbable or inconceivable before now. Here’s my promise: If you handle these endings with righteous decisiveness, you will ensure bright beginnings in the weeks after your birthday.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) A company called Evil Supply sells a satirical poster that contains the following quote: “Be the villain you were born to be. Stop waiting for someone to come along and corrupt you. Succumb to the darkness yourself.” The text in the advertisement for this product adds, “Follow your nightmares … Plot your own nefarious path.” Although this counsel is slightly funny to me, I’m too moral and upright to recommend it to you – even now, when I think there would be value in you being less nice and polite and agreeable than you usually are. So I’ll tinker with Evil Supply’s message to create more suitable advice: “For the greater good, follow your naughty bliss. Be a leader with a wild imagination.

Nudge everyone out of their numbing routines. Sow benevolent mischief that energizes your team.”

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) “Every time you resist acting on your anger and instead restore yourself to calm, it gets easier,” writes psychologist Laura Markham in Psychology Today. In fact, neurologists claim that by using your willpower in this way, “you’re actually rewiring your brain.” And so the more you practice, the less likely it is that you will be addled by rage in the future. I see the coming weeks as an especially favorable time for you to do this work. Keeping a part of your anger alive is good, of course – sometimes you need its energy to motivate constructive change.

But you would benefit from culling the excess.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Much of the action in the world’s novels takes place inside buildings, according to author Robert Bringhurst. But characters in older Russian literature are an exception, he says. They are always out in the forests, traveling and rambling. In accordance with astrological omens, I suggest that you draw inspiration from the Russians’ example in the coming days. As often and as long as you can, put yourself in locations where the sky is overhead. Nature is the preferred setting, but even urban spots are good. Your luck, wisdom and courage are likely to increase in direct proportion to how much time you spend outdoors.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Has a beloved teacher disappointed you? Are there inspirational figures about whom you feel conflicted because they don’t live up to all of your high standards? Have you become alienated from a person who gave you a blessing but later expressed a flaw you find hard to overlook?

Now would be an excellent time to seek healing for rifts like these. Outright forgiveness is one option. You could also work on deepening your appreciation for how complicated and paradoxical everyone is. One more suggestion: Meditate on how your longing for what’s perfect might be an enemy of your ability to benefit from what’s merely good.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) French and Italian readers may have no problem with this horoscope. But Americans, Canadians, Brits and Aussies might be offended, even grossed out.

Why? Because my analysis of the astrological omens compels me to conclude that “moist” is a central theme for you right now. And research has shown that many speakers of the English language find the sound of the word “moist” equivalent to hearing fingernails scratching a chalkboard. If you are one of those people, I apologize.

But the fact is, you will go astray unless you stay metaphorically moist. You need to cultivate an attitude that is damp but not sodden; dewy but not soggy; sensitive and responsive and lyrical, but not overwrought or weepy or histrionic.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Which signs of the zodiac are the most expert sleepers? Who best appreciates the healing power of slumber and feels the least shame about taking naps? Which of the 12 astrological tribes are most inclined to study the art of snoozing and use their knowledge to get the highest quality renewal from their time in bed? My usual answer to these questions would be Taurus and Cancer, but I’m hoping you Pisceans will vie for the top spot in the coming weeks. It’s a very favorable time for you to increase your mastery of this supreme form of self-care.

B y D A N S AVA G E Is there a term that is preferred to “transgendered”? I recently wrote an article that described a MTF person I know as transgendered. The article was positive about transgendered persons I have known (she is one of many). Upon seeing a draft prior to publication, this person flipped out so hard that I felt compelled to cut off all contact with her.

I also killed the article. One of her complaints was that I used the word “transgendered” to describe her, and she identifies as something other than that. I feel like an old fart even asking, but have you heard of this? What is the new term if it’s not OK to say “transgendered” anymore?

Confused In Straightland

“let’s assume CIS got the subject’s identity right (versus genderqueer or agender) and is being respectful,” said Shadi Petosky, a writer, a trans woman and the cofounder of PUNY Entertainment.

“Even if CIS showed her respect, CIS isn’t showing respect for the English language.” Transgender is an adjective like blue or tall, Petosky pointed out. It’s not a noun or verb. So the correct term is “transgender man,” “transgender woman” or “transgender person,” not “transgendered man.”

“It might help if CIS thinks about the adjectives gay or black,” said Petosky. “You’re a gay man or you’re gay. You’re not ‘gayed.’ The president is a black man. He’s not a blacked man. Only an ignorant person or a bigot would get gayed/blacked wrong. And to say that Dan Savage is ‘a gay’ or Barak Obama is ‘a black’ sounds homophobic or racist because it dehumanizes. Trans people want dignity, CIS, so if you are saying transgender or trans outside of ‘they’re transgender,’ you have to put man, woman or person (or human) after it.

Because that is what we are.”

If all you got wrong was that one thing, CIS, and your transgender friend blew up at you, well, that’s unfortunate. (We’re both giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming that “transgendered” was the only issue.) You were trying to do right by your friend, her anger was misplaced, an opportunity to educate a well-meaning ally was lost, a friendship was nuked and a transgender angel didn’t get her wings that day.

But let’s zoom out for a second: Trans folks have an awful lot to be angry about, from absolutely staggering levels of anti-trans violence to discrimination against trans people in employment to a lack of access to basic health care. But at times, righteous trans anger seems to get directed at whoever is nearest at hand, however wellintentioned or otherwise supportive that person might be. (Cough, cough.) But blowing up at you was easier than blowing up at, say, high-profile anti-trans bigot Bill O’Reilly because you were in the room and O’Reilly wasn’t.

But Petosky would like you to keep that misdirected anger in perspective. “People mostly seem to be fascinated by trans people right after we come out,” said Petosky. “If CIS’s friend recently came out, then he was dealing with a person who is probably going through a lot of trauma and anxiety. When I transitioned, I thought I was going to lose my business, kill my dating chances and end up homeless. Many trans people do. People called me ‘he’ most of the time in those early months. My self-image was in shambles. I lashed out at some

gay friends for saying things that were less than supportive. Gay men were actually some of the worst because they could be – they can be – sarcastic about stuff I was really sensitive about. It’s not like we trans people have no sense of who the real bad guys are. We’re just getting tons of shit thrown at us all at once and want some minor wins.

We’re just trying to feel safe close to home first.”

So something about your article rubbed your trans friend the wrong way – maybe it was the way you brandished her as proof of your own high-mindedness? – and she suddenly felt less safe around you and she blew up. Hopefully you two will be able to patch things up once the glitter has settled.

On a related note: Media Matters for America has extensively covered the outrageous and damaging anti-trans bigotry that Fox News routinely spews into American homes, hotels, airports and waiting rooms. (These two posts at mediamatters.com will bring you up to speed: “Experts: Fox News’ Coverage Contributes to Violence, Discrimination Against Transgender Community” and “Fox News’ Transphobia Problem.”) Far be it from me to give the trans-rights movement marching orders … but … if a coalition of queer and trans-rights groups came together and called for a big demonstration outside the Fox News studios in midtown Manhattan, I would be there along with tons of other gay, lesbian, straight and bi cissies.

How about it?

Any tips on getting over unrequited love? I’m a 30-year-old straight male who fell in love with a girl who didn’t want to proceed with a relationship.

I have tried the gym, movies, socializing and dating other women, but I still can’t get her off my mind.

To make matters worse, I will be running into her a lot in a professional setting in a few months. It has been 1.5 years, and I still haven’t gotten over her. I fear that my future interaction with her will make it impossible to move on.

She Moved On

For two years, I pined for a guy I couldn’t have, certain I would never get over him. So I called him one day and asked him to have lunch.

The plan: throw myself at him and convince him to leave his boyfriend for me. Failing that, convince him to resume cheating on his boyfriend with me. But five minutes into lunch, I realized I wasn’t attracted to him anymore. It wasn’t that I couldn’t get over him during those two years, SMO, but that my ego wouldn’t let me get over being dumped.

With that realization, the spell broke. We ate our sandwiches and said our good-byes. Maybe you’ll have the same spell-breaking experience when you run into this woman in a professional setting?

If not, keep trying the gym, movies, dating, etc. until the spell breaks or your life ends, whichever comes first.
