In my opinion, the city has done quite a few underhanded things to accommodate the soccer stadium (“A local activist is suing the city for selling land to Orlando City Soccer Club,” Feb. 24). To close down the main street of a downtown city neighborhood is absolutely absurd. Now the funding is private, but when this city was involved I’m sure that helped facilitate zoning changes and permits needed to make the project viable. The city of Orlando has sold out the citizens of Parramore for profits to foreign interests. An investigation into whose pockets were lined to make this project a reality needs to be started immediately before any more damage is done. Try to get a European city to shut down or destroy part of their historic district to build a baseball field. Not going to happen. Why Orlando allowed this to happen to the historic Parramore district makes one wonder. Grant the injunction. Check out every little detail before allowing this so-called “good for the city” project to move forward.

Rescued is her favorite breed Meet Cinna, our Puppy Love cover-model contest runner-up

BY R ACHEL ST UART

It took just one look at

Cinna!

the fuzzy gray German shepherd/Ibizan hound mix for Ginger Fuenty to fall in love.

Fuenty found her rescue dog, Cinna, at Paradise for Pets Rescue in Windermere on Oct. 9, 2013. Cinna, his mom and his seven siblings were abandoned in a vet’s yard, and the vet contacted the rescue to take the dogs in.

“Cinna was one of the last pups to need a foster home, and he was just too adorable. I felt I had to help him,” Fuenty says. “After fostering a few weeks, I became a foster failure, which is the best thing I have ever failed at.”

Paradise for Pets Rescue originally gave Cinna the name Noah, but Fuenty wanted to give her pup a fresh start with a new name.

Because she and her best friend are fans of The Hunger Games movies, her friend suggested the name Cinna.

Fuenty says Cinna is a snuggly dog who gives unlimited kisses and attention. He is obsessed

with playing ball and chewing on coasters.

“I call Cinna my love bug,” she says. “He wakes me up in the morning by crawling up and giving me a kiss or a little woof.”

When Cinna was introduced to his new home in Clermont, he was also welcomed by Fuenty’s other rescue dog, Westley. Fuenty said Cinna’s mom actually looked very similar to Westley, so the resemblance may have helped Cinna draw the eye of his new family.

“Cinna just bonded with Westley immediately,” Fuenty says. “I think since he was part of a big litter that had been getting smaller as they were adopted, he was happy to have another dog around.”

Fuenty says she loves living with two rescued dogs, and she wishes more people would consider adopting animals in need of homes.

“I believe that there are so many great dogs out there looking for homes from shelters or rescues that pet shops and puppy mills are unnecessary,” she says. “I wish more people would recognize their new best friend is most likely waiting for them at the local shelter.” feedback@orlandoweekly.com

WAFFLES PHOTO BY ROB BARTLETT

affles, a dog with a funny name and a heart of gold, is this year’s Puppy Love cover-model contest winner.

This 1-year-old Australian labradoodle is not just another adorably fluffy face – she’s currently training to become a therapy dog so she can visit local children’s hospitals, and she uses her winning personality (and social media) to raise money for good causes.

Waffles is no stranger to fame; she has an Instagram account with more than 500 followers, and everyone who meets her adores her – something that comes as no surprise to her owner, Martha Lewis.

“She has a sweet, loving demeanor about her and she definitely loves people,” she says. “If you sit on the floor she will come climb in your lap.”

Waffles got her name because Lewis wanted people to smile every time they heard it.

“You would either smile because you liked the name and thought it was cute or it would make you smile more like a smirk because you would be thinking, ‘Who would name their dog Waffles?’”

Through her social media accounts, Waffles encourages people to raise money for children’s health charities like the Arnold Palmer Medical Foundation and Brianna’s HOPE Foundation.

“One of my goals is that she can give hope and a smile to people when they’re in a hopeless situation, that she can brighten people’s day,” Lewis says. “You could say Waffles has a heart for others. She thinks it’s better to give than receive.”

When she’s not training to be a therapy dog, Waffles enjoys taking walks with Lewis, bounding through her neighborhood parks to feel the wind in her floppy ears and playing with her favorite toys, which include a set of plastic keys, a squeaky pig and the caps to laundry detergent bottles.

She also loves working at a children’s store on Park Avenue greeting guests and playing with her four human sisters.

When asked what sets Waffles apart from other dogs, Lewis could only think of one way to describe her four-legged friend: “Every dog is special, but she’s just Waffles.”

well read. I’m tired of TV, and how many people can come visit you in 16 weeks?”

So I started reading about animal communication, every book I could get my hands on. How do they do it, how do they do it? I just didn’t get it.

Was there a course of study you took to get to the point where you felt you did get it, or did it just come naturally?

I took an awful lot of courses

believe in the concept of souls.”

That’s what Jo Maldonado says when you ask her why it is she started to talk to the animals. When a person and an animal form a relationship, she says, their souls have made a deal.

“His soul said, ‘I will teach you this, this and this in our time together,’ and your soul says, ‘I’m going to teach you this, this and this,’” she says. “And it isn’t until this task is completed that somebody can move on.”

Maldonado is the founder of Centers for Animal Therapies, which offers courses in natural healing and animal-related topics, and she’s also begun offering courses in animal communication at the Center for Lifelong Learning at Rollins College. Her next class starts Thursday, March 3, and the goal is to help class participants learn that animal communication isn’t a mystical gift or an impossible-to-master skill.

“My goal is to show people how they can do it, too,” she says. “It’s really not that complex.”

Orlando Weekly: Can you tell me what animal communicators do? I think there are some misconceptions that people have about what it means to communicate with animals.

Jo Maldonado: I kind of look at myself

as a reader more than a communicator.

“Communicator” is too close to the word psychic for me.

What I do is a combination of things. A lot of it is science-based and

observation-based [and] for me much of it is energy-based. We take all of the things we’ve been trained in, and we read the energy. We build our intuition skills, because you have to have that part to receive the information from the animal.

I think people typically think of animal communication as so, “Woo hoo, it’s so out there! How do you know what they’re thinking?” But I have had so much training on the intuition side as well as the behavioral side that, to me, it’s natural now. I just get it. I’m trying to teach other people how to get it so they can have better relationships with their animals.

myself. It was kind of like, “What’s the next step?” I started out by studying Joan Ranquet. She’s fairly well-known.

I also studied with then other local animal communicators, and I thought, “This is really much more than just hearing what the rabbit said to me.” It was a lot more than that.

A few years ago, I started observing Amy Cuddy, a professor at Harvard. She fascinated me. She did the studies on body language and how certain people who assumed certain body language did or did not get the job they were applying for.

It fascinated me. So I grabbed a bunch of my students and over the course of about a year, I did several studies on body language in animals. I did one study with horses, which are prey animals, and I did a bunch of stuff with dogs, which are predators, and I wanted to see the difference in how they respond to things. For instance, how do horses respond to a power pose compared to dogs? It was fascinating.

Have you ever learned something from an animal that was hard for you to tell the owner about?

Yes. There’s a bunch of them

that I’ve done, cats and dogs, they are about ready to pass. And I knew that.

And the owners are still hanging on, very hopeful that some miracle will happen.

“Can you heal them?” Well, no, they have stage-four cancer, and I can’t heal them.

Those are hard readings.

When you go to a place where there are a lot of animals, like a shelter or a zoo, are the animals all trying to communicate with you?

It is interesting to see how dogs Yes. It’s funny. I went to the respond to body language.

They of this. get the information, they take it very seriously. They go out and practice and Are people usually skeptical volunteer. about what you’re doing?

People that are skeptical aren’t How did you decide to get going to call me, first of all. Every once in a while, I get one, but I can only think of one involved in this?

About nine or 10 years ago, I person in the years I’ve been doing this, was doing PR. I had a PR agency and a bunch of people working for me, very successful. My husband and I were getting ready to go to an event and a little voice in my head said, “Don’t put your slippers on now, because they are too big for your feet.” I was like, where did that come from? And I put my slippers on and as I was stepping … I tripped and broke my hip.

I was off any kind of duty, not able to walk or anything.

During that time, I thought, “I might as

standing on your counter right now – it makes funny noises once in a while, and every once in a while I get a treat from it.”

And it turns out, it’s the toaster.

Sometimes people taking this class say, “I’m embarrassed, I don’t want anybody to know that I’m going to this,” or “It’s not going to work.”

So we go through a series of exercises energetically, we do thought-transferring exercises. They have to pick an object I have on a screen, or they get a card, and they have to send a message of that object to the person they are working with.

Once they put their barriers down, it works and then they are not skeptical.

Even if they are in my class, there’s always that tiniest bit of doubt, so by teaching them how to do that, they are more relaxed and open.

and I was truly a last resort.

As I’m doing the reading, I get the feeling right away from the beginning whether they are accepting what I am going to say or what I have said, and I knew from the start that this person was not. What I typically do when I feel that someone is skeptical is I just give them something right away, right from the beginning, that nobody else would know.

I will jump into their dog’s eye and say something like, “That red thing that’s orlandoweekly.com

there was some commotion because when the animals hear that someone is there that hears them, the clatter becomes even higher because they all want to talk.

It’s like they are pushing in line. They want someone to hear them, to hear their stories. Because there were so many orangutans and chimpanzees that were there, there were so many stories, what I started doing is asking for a spokesperson who could speak to the greater good.

I have another story like that. I used to work with draft horses at a rescue place, and one day, I was in a pasture working with one of the drafts and all of a sudden, there’s a whole bunch coming toward me. Draft horses are really huge, and in a situation like that you have to be grounded.

They were coming really fast, I didn’t know what they were going to do. I had to assume a very strong power pose, really stay grounded, put my hand out and go, “Whoa, stop, everybody stop. I’m working with this horse now, you guys get in line. You’re next.” And they did. They actually did. feedback@orlandoweekly.com

COVER STORY

THIS IS THE PHOTO OF BUTTON SENT TO JO MALDONADO FOR HER READING

Mind games asked Jo Maldonado to do a reading on one of my dogs, a 7-year-old pit bull named Button. I sent her a photo of Button and three questions I wanted her to ask him for me.

Before Maldonado answered Button’s questions, she told me that she had to be honest with me about what she discovered when reading him. “He’s not wired properly,” she said. “He is constantly worried.

His mind is not thinking clearly, as a dog’s mind should think.”

She asked me if Button had a traumatizing puppyhood and whether he had siblings. It just so happens that I adopted Button from a pretty horrific situation at 12 weeks old. He was born to a litter of puppies being raised by some teenagers in Baltimore. They gave the puppies away because they were not thriving. When the woman who rescued them first saw them, she described them as “three tiny skeleton puppies living in a basement.” They were starving to death, fighting one another for food, and were extremely fearful of everything. One of Button’s littermates was euthanized at 18 months old for aggression; the other is fearful of men. Button is fearful of, well, just about everything. He suffers from extreme anxiety, and we’ve had to address a whole host of behavior issues with him over the years.

I did not tell her any of this before she did the reading.

outside, the anxiety gets worse and it escalates.

You and he have this connection, so even if for five minutes a day in the morning, before you get your day started, center yourself. Ground yourself. Sit somewhere with him before you have your coffee and do five minutes of relaxing breathing exercises. It will relax you and it will relax him. Pick a little spot in your house where you sit with him and do this, even if for just five minutes a day. Behaviorally he’s going to acknowledge that as a calming spot for himself, so even when you are not home, he can go to that spot.

How does Button feel about our other dog, Tucker? (Backstory: About two years ago, Button began to bully Tucker to the point that Tucker is sometimes afraid of him. As a result, we no longer allow them to have free access to one another. I didn’t tell Maldonado this before the reading.)

In his mind, he thinks Tucker is

weak, and Tucker is like, “What the hell?

Where did that come from?” It’s a bit of a burden on him, and I get periods of being slightly fearful of Button from Tucker.

Because [Button’s] behavior is unpredictable, and not canine-like. And Tucker is very much a dog. … I would be very leery of leaving them together when you are not there. I feel like Button can go off at times if something spooks him. It’s like his capaErin Sullivan: Why does Button bility for self-control is not there.

How private pilots are helping dogs get out of shelters and into new homes

BY DEANNA FER R A N T E

Given their wings and the selfless mission to save lives, it might seem apt to compare these pilots to angels. But Michael Young, an Orlando rescue pilot who’s been transporting dogs via plane for the past seven years, says it’s all in a day’s work.

“It’s a chain of people working together and us pilots are just one cog in the big wheel,” Young says. “We’re not the angels.

We’re just the bus drivers. The angels are the people who pull the dogs and the people who foster the dogs and put them up for adoption.”

Young has transported almost 1,000 dogs as a volunteer, flying the animals from Alabama to rescues around Florida.

It’s a labor of love – one that doesn’t come cheap.

Pilots usually end up spending $10,000 to $12,000 a year maintaining their planes, and Young says it costs around a dollar a mile to fly due to fuel costs, although many

says. ”But I’ve learned to do it. The best analogy is like a soccer field full of snapping turtles. … We go fast. We go around it.

We don’t go through them.”

That’s not the only obstacle to getting the job done. Quinn points out that it takes a lot of hours and a lot of people working together just to save one dog.

To improve the process, Milwaukee rescue pilot Chris Roy invented a software platform to connect animal rescues with volunteers.

Doobert, named after Roy’s cat, includes a smartphone app to connect ground and airborne volunteers.

“The idea came to me because it was so difficult to keep track of which transport requests I was involved with, which animals were on which transport, and who to contact,” he says. “I kept thinking there has to be a better way to do this, and so I decided to create it.”

Even though he also works during the week as an IT project manager, Roy says that there is a major reason he and the other pilots give up their free time for this cause – to spread the puppy love.

“The pilots and ground volunteers donate their time, vehicles and gas because they know that these animals deserve a chance at a better life,” he says. “They don’t ask for anything in return.”

Young and Roy agree that the joy in the job comes from the love they receive from the animals they’ve saved. The thanks they get is spoken in the universal language of a wagging tail or a slobbery grin.

“Many people may think I’m crazy, but these animals in a rescue-relay transport know you are saving them and bringing them to a better place,” Roy says. “You can see the look of relief in their eyes, and see the smiles on their face when they meet you.” feedback@orlandoweekly.com

ive thousand feet up, pilots are flying some very important cargo across the country. It’s not people or packages these men and women have loaded into the back of their planes: It’s puppies – squirmy, soft and sometimes sad homeless animals who need a new leash on life.

In recent years, rescue-pilot programs have taken off in the South and Northeast.

Pilots, almost all of them volunteers who give their time and money to the cause on the weekends, shepherd homeless animals from high-kill shelters in states where adoption rates are usually low, like Alabama and South Carolina, and fly them miles away to animal rescues in the northeast or Central Florida. The animals, many of them young dogs, are adopted or fostered in places where more people are looking to find a furry friend to take home.

of the expenses are tax-deductible because of the charitable cause.

Despite the cost, Young says it’s worth it to save the lives of animals who might otherwise not have a chance. Young says he even adopted two of the dogs he’s flown.

It’s this type of dedication that Kate Quinn, executive director of Pilots N Paws, a South Carolina-based organization that connects pilots with shelters looking for volunteers to transport animals, says she sees in all her pilots.

“These people are huge animal lovers.

They’re so concerned with the animals and making sure they’re comfortable,” Quinn says. “We’ve learned that pilots are looking for a meaning to their flights.

They’re looking for a reason to fly.”

Saving the lives of 4 to 6 million animals that would otherwise be euthanized every year sounds like a pretty good reason.

Quinn says that without the planes swooping in to pick up the animals at the 11th hour, many of them would have to be put down.

There’s also an advantage to using planes as opposed to ground transportation to move the animals. When there are no pilots to help, dogs must be transported in car relays, constantly switching drivers and traveling in crates. On the planes, many pilots allow the dogs to roam freely.

The trip by plane is much more consistent and comfortable for them.

“The animals do really well,” Quinn says. “People are surprised to hear how well they do in the plane. The sound of the engine seems to lull them to sleep.”

While the plane experience is better for the animals, the trips do present their own unique challenges, especially in Florida.

“Flying in thunderstorms during the summer here is a challenge. It’s like Florida has the measles if you look at the weather radar, with all the red pimples,” Young

Morgan Bell is training Robin to be a service dog. The two live on campus at UCF

UCF gives service dogs and their handlers the green light to live on campus

t’s not too unusual to see a service dog guiding a student around a college campus, but have you ever seen a service dog living in a college dorm? Probably not, because there aren’t very many of them living on campuses now. That could change at the University of Central Florida, which now welcomes both service dogs and service dogs in training to live in dorms with their handlers.

Increasingly, colleges across the country have welcomed service dogs to live on campus, but it was just last year that UCF opened its Lake Claire Community dorms to service dogs.

Of the more than 63,000 students enrolled at UCF, there are only two students living on campus with service dogs

now, and sophomore Morgan Bell is currently the only student living on campus with a service dog in training.

The statistics and finance double major is training golden Labrador Robin, and the dog has been by Bell’s side everywhere she goes since July 2015. Robin will continue learning from Bell until November of this year.

Bell brings Robin to all of her classes, and although students’ eyes tend to gravitate toward the dog in the classroom, Bell said most people respect that when Robin is wearing her vest, she’s working.

“I have super high expectations [for her] that I wouldn’t have with my pet dog, so I definitely see her as a service dog,” Bell says. “When she takes her vest off, she’s a regular dog. We go running around the

apartment together and have a ball.”

With the help of UCF President John Hitt and the nonprofit organization Canine Companions for Independence, a servicedog training and education program (also known as STEP@UCF) was founded on campus, and that’s where Bell was able to get her start with service-dog training – something she says she wanted to do to give back to the community.

“It’s not a matter of wanting to train a dog,” she says. “It’s a matter of wanting to help.”

Bell eventually become president of the program, and she has since been working to get more students involved. Although Bell is the only student with a service dog in training right now, UCF spokesman Mark Schlueb says UCF is working with Canine Companions for Independence to expand that number.

“We definitely see this as helpful to those in need of service animals, and it’s also a great learning opportunity for our students who devote so much time to train and socialize these dogs,” Schlueb says.

Two new students, Jennifer Markowitz and Kayla McCauley, will receive a service dog to train this May. The students will take the dog home with them for the summer before moving onto campus in the fall to raise the dog together. orlandoweekly.com

●

“The timing actually works out well because the pups are 8 weeks old when the students get them and need a lot of attention at that age,” Schlueb says.

“While UCF already allowed fully trained and graduated dogs in the dorms, it is a huge step in training service dogs to have them learn and grow up in the dorms,” Markowitz says. “Many other college campuses have allowed CCI dogs in dorms and have proven to be successful.

I think many other colleges should follow UCF’s example.”

The students will attend two classes each month to learn Canine Companions for Independence guidelines for training and socializing the dog in a campus setting.

Bell says that UCF’s decision to open its campus to service dogs only benefits those dogs, it makes campus life far more accessible for students who rely on service dogs.

“I think it just makes our campus look way more appealing,” Bell says. “I think it’s just really beneficial because UCF’s one big thing is diversity and inclusion, and I think this is a good way to promote that for people who have a piece of medical equipment that really stands out.” feedback@orlandoweekly.com

Pawsitive Shelter Photography’s Paul Wean tries to get a shelter dog to smile for the camera

Pawsitive Shelter Photography is saving pet lives, one glamour shot at a time

parkle is nervous.

The chocolate-colored dog with light eyes sits shyly on a white backdrop as a woman fashions a purple petal scarf into a puffy collar. Sparkle is frozen in place as people in front of her jump around, squeak toys, click their tongues – really, anything that will make the canine glance at the photographer trying to take her picture.

Nothing works until Paul Wean gets down on his knees and crawls over to Sparkle. He pets her gently, and then somehow coaxes the 9-month-old shelter dog into standing long enough for the photographer to capture a couple of poses.

To Sparkle and anyone passing by this room at the Orange County Animal Services shelter, the scene is probably quite strange, but the volunteers who make up Pawsitive Shelter Photography know that taking this photo is probably Sparkle’s best shot at finding a forever home and, ultimately, a second chance at life.

“We read emails all the time from people saying ‘I saw this picture, and I knew I had to go see the dog,’” says Wean, founder of the organization. “They connected.”

24

Since Wean and his wife, Joan, started Pawsitive Shelter Photography in October 2011, the organization has taken on 50 volunteers, photographed more than 13,000 animals at local shelters and received a couple of awards. The Weans say they got the idea after Joan Wean saw a CBS News report about a professional Texas photographer who started to take her own pictures of rescue dogs to replace the blurry, poorly lit photos of the dogs posted online. The rescue group’s adoption rate soared.

“When I saw that, I literally felt like someone had lit a match underneath me,” says Paul Wean, who also works as a lawyer in Orlando. “I had enough knowledge to be dangerous and more money than brains because I had good camera equipment. I said, ‘We can do this.’”

At first it was just the two of them taking photos of dogs at the Orange County shelter, then staff at Wean’s firm joined them. Joan Wean says there was a bit of a learning curve when they started, but as more professional photographers began working with them, the pictures improved.

Now, the organization’s photographers use colorful bandanas, scarves, furry boas and

other props to enhance the playful attitude of an image. To make the animals look into the lens, volunteers will often bark, give out treats or shake a bottle of rice.

Pawsitive Shelter Photography goes to the Orange County shelter twice a week and to the shelter in Osceola County at least twice a month. Last Sunday, the group photographed 18 dogs in one session, but during the summer after breeding season is over, they will photograph upwards of 30 dogs. The organization, which Joan Wean says is always looking for volunteers, also takes pictures of shelter cats.

“We’re pretty good at handling the difficult dogs, and we are always learning what to do better,” Joan Wean says. “I think about half of our volunteers have adopted a dog we met during a photo shoot and that they’ve fallen in love with.”

A lot of the work volunteers do comes after the photo session when they edit the photos. Paul Wean says he’s stayed up until the early morning using Photoshop to delete leashes from the photos and clean up the white backdrop, which often gets scuffed. Orange County Animal Services gives the photographed animals one week from the day their picture is taken to be adopted, Wean says.

Working with the animals can also take an emotional toll on photographers. In the 2015 calendar year, Orange County Animal Services, which is an open-admis-

sion shelter, reports that it euthanized 5,157 animals. That’s a 34 percent decrease from the 2014 calendar year, but it’s still a difficult statistic to swallow for pet lovers.

Stephanie Patterson, a freelancer who volunteers for Pawsitive Shelter Photography, says she imagines the best-case scenario for every dog she photographs.

“My approach is that I come in here, take the picture and try to leave it at that for myself,” she says. “I found I had to stop following a lot of the dog rescue pages on Facebook because they would post when the dogs were going to be put down, and that started to get to me. … It’s really hard because you want them all to live and be adopted.”

Maritza Mamber, owner of Simply Pawfect Photography in Orlando, says the intake photos taken by shelter staff of the animals can be scary and off-putting to potential adopters. The work Pawsitive Shelter Photography does, though it can be draining, is important because the photos help convey the animals’ personalities.

“It’s not easy coming here taking pictures of the dogs because you never know if they will be adopted or go to the back room to be euthanized,” she says. “It’s sad, but I try to not get emotional and know that what I’m doing is to help them. Each time I go behind my lens, I’m like, ‘OK, take a great shot, that way this dog can be adopted.’”

Wean says he wishes others would start their own organization like his to help shelter pets find new homes.

“These dogs and cats, they’re innocent,” he says. “They didn’t ask to be semihuman, we asked them to. We make them helpless, and we have an obligation to meet their needs. … If you want to mimic our organization, fine. I want people to do what we do, to create photos of shelter animals and get them adopted.”

In the realm of the senses Art31 will make you feel all the feels this year

BY JE SSICA BRYCE YOU N G

PHOTOS COURTESY ART & HISTORY MUSEUMS – MAITLAND

MATERIAL WORLD: GLASS, RUBBER AND PAPER opens 6:30 p.m. Friday, March 4 | Maitland Art Center, 231 W. Packwood Ave., Maitland | 407-539-2181 | art31.org | free-$5

M

ateriality, the art world’s current favorite buzzword, will reign when the centerpiece of this year’s Art31 series opens Friday at the Maitland Art Center. Material World: Glass, Rubber and Paper, an exhibition of art by Dale Chihuly, Lorrie Fredette, Jason Hackenwerth and Paige Smith, shows works made of latex balloons, blown glass, paper, resin and beeswax. While all four artists explore serious themes – for instance, Fredette says she creates her podlike clusters of muslin and beeswax to “comprehend … the incomprehensible aspects of infection, pandemic and plague” – all clearly revel in the thingness of things. For some viewers, it may be very difficult to just look and not touch.

Chihuly’s overblown blown-glass works are familiar to anyone who has even a nodding acquaintance with modern museums – but one can’t deny the impulse to run fingers over the slick, cool ruffles and curves

of the bloom-like glass sculptures created by his studio. Smith makes “urban geodes,” chunky golden constructions of paper and resin that erupt from exterior surfaces like a beautiful indictment of the rot under this Gilded Age. Hackenwerth and Fredette share air as a prime mover in their individual practices.

Fredette’s aforementioned installations, massed cells floating overhead or in corners, may be intended to invoke infection, but their airy prettiness belies any such gloom; they seem more like plump, drifting petticoat-clad milkmaids – or what I imagined cloudberries to look like the first time I read that word in a children’s book.

To describe Hackenwerth’s art is to diminish it somehow – it’s almost impossible not to set off the cheesy-meter when you hear “balloon art.” But his mammoth installations overpower in person, and his “Wearables,” giant constructed costumes inhabited by trained performers, have more in common with Nick Cave’s Soundsuits than with the dachshund-bending guy at your kid’s birthday party. Some resemble insects, some whale skeletons, some jel-

lyfish bells, but all are temptingly tactile while provokingly impermanent.

Friday’s Culture Pop! party at the Art & History Museums – Maitland marks the opening of the Material World exhibit, which is just one aspect of the A&H’s month-long Art31 initiative. Hackenwerth’s Wearables will appear both in established art spaces (Orlando Museum of Art Thursday, March 3; Maitland Art Center Friday, March 4) and at pop-ups across town (though “pop” seems an ill-omened

word). Locals Boy Kong and Marla E. will reveal the products of their six-monthlong, Art31-sponsored residency at maker space Factur with installations dotted throughout downtown at the Third Thursday Gallery Hop, March 17, and Dan Hess unveils the multimedia work he made during his own Factur residency in an installation opening March 31 at Canvs.

Still no word on when Disney’s Star Wars expansions open; local artist Doug Rhodehamel builds his own old-school Star Wars universe

PHOTO BY DOUG RHODEHAMEL

Visitors to my house who brave

the maze of folk art and theme-park memorabilia crowding my office will discover, perched high atop an overstuffed IKEA bookshelf, my geek holy grail: an original Kenner X-Wing Fighter circa 1978. The plastic may be yellow with age, and the decorative decals are peeling, but Luke Skywalker (one of the first action figures ever purchased for me) still sits proudly in his cockpit, ready to make another attack run on the Death Star’s trench. Today, all the cool kids are into their iPhone-controlled BB-8 droids and Emo Kylo Ren Twitter feeds, but they can’t understand the thrill (and social stigma) that once came with being the first kid on your block obsessed with a galaxy far, far away.

One of the few who still remembers that long, long time ago like I do is Orlando artist Doug Rhodehamel, who is best known

for his international SPORE paper mushroom project. But while I was busy trying to BitTorrent Team Negative One’s newly restored “Han Shot First” print of the original Star Wars (well worth the effort to find!), Rhodehamel was working on resurrecting the totemic toys of our childhood in a huge way.

Last Saturday, Stardust Video and Coffee hosted a fundraising preview for Doug Rhodehamel Builds the Star Wars Universe, featuring a 1/10th-scale model X-Wing constructed from discarded political campaign signs and other recycled detritus. Eventually, Rhodehamel hopes to build a fleet of up to 15 Star Wars vehicles, ranging from the lowly TIE Fighter up to an AT-AT and a Jawa Sandcrawler, which will stand taller than the artist himself.

I stopped by Say It Loud’s Orange Studio, where Rhodehamel was assembling his first starfighter before its debut, to watch him work while sketch artist Thomas Thorspecken captured the scene.

“I was never satisfied with the toys growing up, I wanted them to be bigger,” he explained to me. Thanks to his friend Mike King, Rhodehamel’s 4-foot-long X-Wing features working lights and sound effects far more advanced than our old plastic ones.

But he isn’t going entirely modern with his models; though he’s seen The Force Awakens three times and “loved it,” don’t look for a rectangular reflector dish on Rhodehamel’s Millennium Falcon, because he’s sticking with the “classic old-school” designs.

Rhodehamel’s Stardust showing was a

one-night affair, but you can currently see some of his other spaceships on display inside the Orlando Science Center. He hopes to hold another viewing in the coming months once he’s constructed some more models. If you want to join his Alliance, you can donate funds at gofundme.com/ starwarsdoug.

Ironically, while Rhodehamel may be soliciting contributions for his sci-fi tribute, Orlando’s official home for Lucasfilm’s franchises is also looking like it needs financial assistance these days, despite overflowing corporate coffers. ABC’s recent television special celebrating Disneyland’s 60th anniversary spotlighted the E-Ticket attractions coming to Anaheim (a Forbidden Journeyesque Millennium Falcon simulator and a Spider-Man-style First Order dark ride), but no opening date – or even decade – was revealed for the anticipated Star Wars expansions in either California or Disney’s Hollywood Studios park here.

In the meantime, a major portion of DHS, including the Lights Motors Action stunt show, will shutter for good in early April, with no new attractions on the imminent horizon to replace the lost capacity. And to add insult to injury, Disney recently saw the departure of nearly a dozen members of its Citizens of Hollywood “streetmosphere” troupe, including a few of my favorite former Adventurers Club cast members.

But despite cutbacks to entertainment offerings – along with staffing reductions in departments across the Walt Disney World resort, reportedly prompted by losses at ESPN and Shanghai Disneyland construction cost overruns – don’t look for ticket prices to drop any time soon.

In fact, the opposite is true: Days after Universal Orlando upped their one-day rate to $105, Disney followed suit by introducing demand-based pricing tiers at its Florida and California parks. For the first time ever, single-day Disney tickets will now cost up to $20 more during “peak” attendance periods like Christmas and spring break.

Disney claims the new pricing scheme, which is similar to ones used for years by airlines, will better distribute crowds throughout the year. Of course, since most visitors’ vacation schedules are dictated by school calendars, the only likely impacts will be bigger crowds during the rapidly disappearing “slow” periods and more money in Mickey’s pockets during the still-insane busy season. Sadly, the new prices went into effect the same weekend that Jack Lindquist, Disneyland’s legendary first president and author of many of its oncerenowned guest service innovations, passed away at age 88. Well, at least now Walt has another old friend to spin with. skubersky@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

Ocean Sun Brewing celebrates its grand opening Monday, March 21, in the former Southern Moon Smokehouse space on Curry Ford Road. La Fiesta Mexican Grill will make their move into the shared space sometime in April.

Duck Donuts, a chain out of North Carolina, will open four donut stores in the Orlando area. Specific locations have yet to be disclosed. The chain is named for the Outer Banks town of Duck, North Carolina.

The Sweet Shop, 4 Rivers Smokehouse’s in-house bakery, has received a refresh with more than 30 new and updated desserts and treats. Brown butter strawberry shortcake and salted caramel bourbonand-maple cookie, here I come!

Yuhi Fujinaga, former executive chef at New York City’s Sea Grill, has been named executive chef at Morimoto Asia.

Tea for Thai and Thai for tea Siamese steephouse and sandwich joint is an instant hit

BY FAIYAZ KARA KRUNGTHEP TEA TIME 1051 W. Fairbanks Ave., Winter Park | 407-733-3561 | facebook.com/krungthepteatime | $

A

stark white space with concrete floors and a gaudy light-up marquee aren’t exactly features one would associate with a tea house. For the inveterate tea tippler – you know, the one who faints over floral wallpaper and fine china, and delights in doilies and dainty crumpets – KrungThep Tea Time’s sleek minimalism might even be a turnoff.

Well, ol’ chap, KrungThep Tea Time isn’t your Cornish grandmother’s tea house.

Rather, it’s a gathering ground for yuccies, slashies and neo-hipsters to sip and chill.

The local art, strumming troubadours and open mic nights that are often hallmarks of tea and coffee joints are a long-forgotten, aughts-era vestige here and, as far as this aging sip-ster is concerned, the excisions are welcome. Austere surroundings have a way of calming and soothing one’s constitution, I find. After adding a hot cup of aromatic rose tea ($3) to the mix, I felt relaxed enough to croon “I Love the Nightlife” à la Eugene Levy as Perry Como.

(YouTube it.) That’s not to say it’s perpetually quiet inside KrungThep’s whitewashed confines, but even amidst a din of chatter – the row of six tables in close proximity to

one another makes it inevitable – the mood is expressly relaxed.

Thai leanings add an exotic element to not just the scores of teas offered, but to sandwiches and the wickedly sweet endings as well. “KrungThep,” in fact, is what Thais call Bangkok, and “my new fave sammie” is what I’d call the gra-prow sandwich ($8) – chicken, onion, red pepper, Thai chilies, mozzarella, fresh basil and basil mayo served on Olde Hearth bread (your choice of sunflower, sourdough, pumpernickel or whole wheat) pressed to perfection. But it’s the Thai chilies that bring all the flavors together – I make it a point to get a little extra thrown in. A moderately spicy and tangy “jaaw” sauce in the “Thaiger Is Crying” sandwich ($10) with marinated beef, cheddar, cabbage, onion and cilantro won’t necessarily make your eyes water – your mouth, however, might not be able to hold back.

Many of their sandwiches are also offered “naked” ( just call them salads, people), including “From the Forest” ($7), an appropriately earthy mélange of grilled mushrooms and steamed tofu coated in a sesame-soy mayo.

Apart from skimping on the grilled onions, the salad, er, naked sandwich was fine, just fine. I did make the mistake of ordering the

papaya salad ($8) “Thai hot” – and the first few flavorsome bites gave way to a sensation much like a pastry docker being repeatedly rolled over one’s tongue, I imagine. Even Thai iced tea ($3), arguably the best you’ll find in the city, didn’t really help.

Good thing there are plenty of milkysweet desserts to help palliate the pain – specifically, brick toast, thick slices of crisp buttery bread cut into small squares, then piled with all manner of toppings. My favorite (and the favorite of KrungThep’s Thai servers) is the ka-ti ($6) with condensed milk, homemade coconut ice cream, honey and crushed peanuts. It’s splendidly seductive, and its dramatic presentation has made it a must-post on local Instagram feeds.

For an ending a little less taxing on your gallbladder, try a slab of toast ($3) with condensed milk. It might be lean on looks but, for what it’s worth, it’s still too rich for your own good. fkara@orlandoweekly.com

EVENTS Speaking of, Morimoto Asia will collaborate with the Crooked Can Brewing Company on a five-course beer pairing dinner Thursday, March 3, at 7 p.m. Cost is $85 … The Winter Park Sip, Shop & Stroll is also March 3, from 5 to 8 p.m. on Park Avenue. Cost is $25 … The 22nd Annual Taste of Oviedo goes from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Saturday, March 12, at the Oviedo Mall.

OPENING Look for Misho’s Ristorante & Pizzeria to open in the Lake Mary Pointe Plaza in April … iPho Noodle House will open its second area location in the former Brown’s Deli space in Maitland.

A location currently sits on Lake Mary Boulevard … Sweet on Park Dessert & Wine Bar will open this April in the former Metropolitan Dog Spa on the corner of East Washington Street and Rosalind Avenue. You’ll recall that Brix Eurobistro occupied the space before that … Meanwhile, work continues to progress at the new Gnarly Barley location on Virginia Drive in Ivanhoe Village. Look for them to open this summer.

CLOSING RanGetsu, the longtime sushi joint that started off on I-Drive in late 1980s and moved to Maitland in 2011, will close its doors Saturday, March 5.

the gimlet

BY JESSICA BRYCE YOUNG

T

no sugar, but early recipes oriented toward recreational drinking tend to call for gin and bottled Rose’s Lime Juice. Some mixed it in equal proportions, but (shudder) that’s a lot of syrup in one drink; more prudent mixologists go with a 3:1 or 4:1 ratio. Another wrinkle is the fact that these days, bottled Rose’s Lime is mostly corn syrup with a nice sprinkling of preservatives – things no selfrespecting craft cocktailer would tolerate in their vintage coupe. So you’ll see some bartenders substituting fresh lime juice and simple syrup or, in a nod to tradition, corn syrup and all, going half-and-half on Rose’s and fresh lime.

But this Remix tacks pretty far off course from the classic. Few of us are in danger of scurvy these days, but still, we all seem to obsess over green juice lately – so, since I had some celery around and thought its spicy vegetal flavor would suit gin’s botani-

his month’s Remix is best accessorized with a shoulder-clawing parrot, or maybe just a striped T-shirt: Some say the Gimlet was named for British Royal Navy surgeon Sir Thomas Gimlette, who purportedly prescribed a mixture of gin and lime juice to British sailors to prevent scurvy. There’s no proof of this; however, the association between cocktail mixtures and medicinal apothecary preparations is long established (most notably the Sazerac cocktail and various amari; Warren Bobrow’s excellent 2013 book Apothecary Cocktails: Restorative Drinks from Yesterday and Today delves into deeper historical detail on the subject).

Shoulder parrot or no, the Gimlet is dead simple – gin and lime – but proportions and sweetening agents vary by recipe. The Navy version, if that origin story is true, likely would have been just gin and lime juice,

cal notes fairly well, I got out the old Breville and made some celery juice. (Juicer versus blender: Neither is quicker than the other; it’s just a matter of when you’d like to spend the time. The juicer is quick to produce the juice, but takes forever to clean later.

The blender requires more time up front – puree, then strain – but, especially if you blend in a Mason jar, post-mixing cleanup is negligible.)

Then, since ginger’s warmth suits celery’s so well, I thought I’d add some Domaine de Canton ginger cognac, for another layer of flavor with a hint of sweetness, instead of an overpowering syrupy sweetness. Green Chartreuse tied it all together – herbaceous like the celery juice and gin, just bitter enough to underpin the spicy-sweet Domaine de Canton, and almost complex enough to tame the acidic punch of fresh lime. In the end, I had to bow to custom with just a hint of simple syrup to smooth out the lime, but those who enjoy a very tart beverage can skip it.

Tabla Cuisine After an extensive renovation, a new menu and some new personnel in the kitchen, this revamped Indian restaurant hasn’t missed a beat. Added a few, in fact, in the form of Chinese and Thai dishes. Skip tamarindsweetened pad Thai, and opt instead for stellar gobi Manchurian and lemon-coriander soup. Kebabs, be they lamb, chicken or otherwise, are some of the most plush and pliant in town. Desserts can be hit or miss.

Baoery Asian Gastropub Greg Richie’s pan-Asian “gastropub” might bring a sake-bomb atmo to Thornton Park, but the focus is on sweet-and-spongy bao.

Pork belly and Korean fried chicken versions make for proper starters, though more bao need to be offered. A stellar bulgogi burger shows up other featured dishes like ramen and bibimbap. Requisite sake and cocktails slake the party crowd; some intriguing wines and beers are offered as well. Open daily.

Tapa Toro Tapa Toro has the looks and the dishes to match, no bull. Expertly crafted Spanish fare makes it well worth the drive to sample puckery gazpacho, perfect pulpo a la plancha, or pan rustico with a spread of Medjool dates and goat cheese. Plush skewers of beef tenderloin please and, apart from the lack of crusty socarrat, the paella with chicken, chorizo and lamb chops was utterly brilliant. More Spanish beers and sherries, please.

Kokino Trendy tapas joint hopes to draw a late-night crowd to its stylish confines. Oysters in the seafood canoe were remarkably fresh; small plates like lamb pops rolled in sofrito and plantains please, as does grilled asparagus topped with bresaola, smoked peanuts, grana padano and a poached egg. Be wary of greasy ribeye plancha, though a lavender olive oil cake makes a delightfully light ending. Dinner only, plus Sunday brunch. 7705 Turkey Lake Road, 407-270-9199; $$$

North Quarter Tavern This sister restaurant to Citrus brings a relaxed attitude, good service and a foodfocused ethic to downtown’s North Quarter.

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.

It’s a “see and be seen” kind of place, but chef Dominic Rice serves up seasonal dishes that, for the most part, are competently executed. Oak-fired pizzas are worth a look, as is the gnocchi with short rib Bolognese. A heavy-handed spice rub marred delicate tilefish, but succulent flatiron steak served with crisp green beans, marble potatoes and smoked butter was nice, and sticky toffee pudding makes for a saucy ending. 8323 Sand Lake Road, 407-500-7528; $$$

Bavaro’s Pizza Napoletana & Pastaria Not your average pizza and pasta joint, this Winter Springs hotspot draws them in for Neapolitan-style pies and house-made, hand-cut tagliatelle and ravioli. The star is the Neapolitan-made brick oven, which churns out perfectly blistered pizzas, be it your basic margherita or the weighted and eggy carciofi con uovo. A stellar Bolognese sauce highlights the tagliatelle; to end without sampling either the cannoli or tiramisu would be a mistake. 1468 Tuskawilla Road, Winter Springs, 321-422-3600; $$$ ■

45 Years showcases acting and filmmaking at its finest

BY DAN HUDAK

45 YEARS

★★★★★

F

or 44 years, 11 months and about three weeks, things were just fine in Geoff (Tom Courtenay) and Kate (Charlotte Rampling) Mercer’s marriage. That’s a pretty good run, but with their 45th anniversary party mere days away, a bombshell is dropped that rocks its very foundation: The body of Geoff’s lover, whom he knew before he met Kate, is found in the Swiss Alps. To this point he had only known that she disappeared; the discovery of the body sets off a swarm of emotions and discoveries for Geoff and Kate that brings the purity of their love into doubt. Ironically, this all happens as Kate plans the anniversary party that’s supposed to be the ultimate celebration of their love.

Ostensibly, finding the body shouldn’t be that big a deal, aside from bringing up a few painful memories for Geoff. It all happened before he met Kate, after all, but his emotions run deep. Geoff and

Kate, meanwhile, rarely talk about emotions, they don’t have many pictures of themselves and they never had kids, so surprises and jealousy soon emerge. No, there is no grandiose twist in which the audience learns that Geoff is a murderer.

Director Andrew Haigh’s story is too brutal and honest and realistic for that.

The narrative plays out in plain, pensive ways, and because the performances are so good, the movie is superb.

Rampling deserved her Oscar nomination for Best Actress. (The prize ultimately went to Brie Larson for her role in Room.) She emotes with her body and face, not just her words. Every time Kate asks questions she doesn’t really want the answer to, and then receives the answer she didn’t want to hear, you can see the hurt in her eyes. Her performance as a woman who learns that she’s not the love of her husband’s life is heartbreaking.

Courtenay is subtly effective as a man trapped in thoughts of what his life could’ve been had it proceeded as he envisioned 50 years earlier. Geoff doesn’t get emotional about his lost love, but he does behave strangely after he learns the body was discovered: He starts smoking again, he doesn’t engage with others, and he even thinks about travelling to

Switzerland without Kate. Courtenay plays Geoff as relatively oblivious to the impact his actions have on his wife, which makes the viewer’s heart ache even more for her.

Haigh, who adapted the screenplay from David Constantine’s short story In Another Country, provides a naturalistic feel that’s echoed by the quiet serenity of the English countryside where Geoff and Kate live. His camera is observational, not intrusive; most of the time Geoff and Kate are framed together on screen, or one is just off-screen and talking to the other. By allowing the viewer to be a voyeur as the relationship dissipates and not using excessive close-ups or other visual tricks to accentuate the hardship, Haigh deeply immerses us in the story.

It feels like the audience is a fly on the wall watching it all happen. It’s the right approach to take.

A spoiler-free word on the ending, which comes after a dance at the anniversary party: It’s an unbroken three-minute final shot, and you should listen to the lyrics of the song as you watch Rampling’s face. This is acting at its absolute finest, and under Haigh’s steady direction 45 Years is filmmaking at its best. feedback@orlandoweekly.com

London Has Fallen As Olympus goes, so goes the globe. Better known as the sequel Antoine Fuqua refused to do, this political thriller sees our president once again in jeopardy, this time alongside a passel of other world leaders gathered in London for a state funeral. (Of course, the promos only focus on the peril to POTUS, because what American moviegoer cares what happens to some damn chancellor?) Morgan Freeman’s Speaker of the House character has now graduated to vice president, which I’m sure was the least of what Hillary promised him to do that voice-over. (R)

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Having lost her latest cinematic life in sacrifice to The Force Awakens, moviedom’s frisky feline Tina Fey is at it again, this time in an adaptation of Kate Barker’s memoir of her service as a journalist in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Fey produced the picture as well, so I guess she’s never heard that modern audiences only enjoy war comedies when the war in question is already finished. Or maybe she’s counting on most Americans thinking that Operation Enduring Freedom is over and done.

Hey, what do you think “enduring” means, people? It sure isn’t the theatrical window of the average Fey picture, that’s for sure. (R)

The Other Side of the Door Damn you, The Witch! The respect you earned means we can no longer lob knee-jerk snark about horror movies that come out in January and February. So I guess we have to give the benefit of the doubt to The Other Side of the Door, filmmaker Johannes Roberts’ latest. (Remember F? Storage 24? If you do, how do you enjoy writing for Rue Morgue?) In this story, a bereaved mother explores the options for bringing her dead daughter back to life. Yes, it’s a riff on “The Monkey’s Paw” – or as it was known to those of us who spent a lot of time in airports in the 1980s, Pet Sematary. (R)

Zootopia Who cares if the title sounds like a mashup of U2 tours? The excerpt of this fulllength cartoon that played in front of The Force Awakens in lieu of a standard trailer was the most delightful thing I’ve seen in eons. I wish more studios would go with a complete scene that gives some idea of a movie’s true tone and rhythm than does the usual high-speed clip fest.

Then again, I felt the same way about the promo for Pocahontas, and look how that all turned out.

Here’s hoping Zootopia has little else in common with the Pokester, and is instead what some industry-watchers are predicting: the proof that Disney’s in-house animation unit has now equaled, if not surpassed, Pixar. (PG)

Going huge Inaugural Okeechobee Music Festival throws everything at the wall – and gets it to stick

BY NICK MCGREGOR OKEECHOBEE MUSIC AND ARTS FESTIVAL Friday-Sunday, March 4-6 | Sunshine Grove, Okeechobee | okeechobeefest.com | $280-$636

F

lorida boasts a long list of successful music festivals: genre-specific ones like the Fest in Gainesville, UMF in Miami, Electric Daisy Carnival in Orlando and the panoply of jam band get-togethers that go down at Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak. When it comes to genre-crossing mashups, though, the Sunshine State hasn’t had as much luck.

Harvest of Hope in St. Augustine nailed an impressive hip-hop/punk/metal/rock/folk mix, if only for two years, while Orlando’s own Orange You Glad succeeded on an intimate indie scale in the early 2010s. In South Florida, Langerado’s ambition did it in – the 2009 festival was abruptly canceled, then a 2011 reboot also bit the dust.

All of which makes the pre-event scope and success of Okeechobee Music and Arts Festival, slated for March 4-6 on a pristine 800-acre parcel of land in Okeechobee dubbed Sunshine Grove, that much more exciting. Founded by longtime music festival veterans Paul Peck (who got Bonnaroo, the granddaddy of 21st-century festivals, off the ground) and Steve Sybesma (who runs China’s largest electronic music festival), OMF is aiming far beyond just the stars.

First, there’s the festival’s utopian mission, large-scale art installations and

light-mapping projections, which will be interspersed among the rural, never-beforeopen-to-the-public paradise. There will be a stage situated on a swimming hole, and allnight dance parties from Thursday through Sunday. A dedicated meditation-and-massage area and arts village will feature “rogue performances, dance, art, shenanigans and tea.” There will be an organic vegetable farm for food vendors. And, true to Peck’s track record in organizing the now-famous Bonnaroo SuperJams, attendees can go to two different “once-in-a-lifetime superstar collaboration PoWow!s.” One features modern R&B kingpin Miguel, John Oates of Hall & Oates fame, Win Butler of indie-rock royalty Arcade Fire, George Porter Jr. and Zigaboo Modeliste of New Orleans’ legendary Meters, along with fellow Big Easy icons Preservation Hall Jazz Band, current avantjazz mastermind Kamasi Washington and more. The other is a folk-pop dream session of Mumford & Sons, the Avett Brothers, Tom Morello and more.

And that doesn’t even touch the jaw-dropping regular lineup. Pine for the classics?

Robert Plant, Booker T. Jones and Walter “Wolfman” Washington will take you there.

More into the cutting edge of current hiphop? How about Kendrick Lamar, Future, Fetty Wap, Mac Miller, Joey Bada$$ and Shabazz Palaces. Got EDM on the brain?

Skrillex, Bassnectar, Bonobo and 50 other artists famous in the trance, house, and techno worlds will be there. Like avant-garde orlandoweekly.com

indie rock? A reunited Ween will be sure to get things weird, while Odesza, Portugal.

The Man, Youth Lagoon, Moon Hooch and White Denim will mix the experimental with the funky. Love native Florida artists? Hundred Waters, Roadkill Ghost Choir, SWIMM, Sunbears! and the Supervillains will surely represent, along with a few other bands added via a Destination Okeechobee application system for Sunshine Staters.

And this still only represents a fraction of the full lineup.

Clearly, Peck, Sybesma and other OMF principals like talent buyer and marketing manager Dan Larson (who got the newly redesigned Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts off the ground in 2014) and head of operations Jim Tobin (who’s worked seemingly every major festival in the U.S.) went for a “throw-it-all-against-the-wall” approach. But so far, nearly everything has stuck. The New York Times included Okeechobee on its “Where Music Lovers Should Go in 2016” list, while esteemed outlets like Pitchfork and Billboard have prominently featured the festival. The first two tiers of tickets sold out within weeks, prompting OMF to add a fourth day to its electro-heavy Moonlight Oasis scheduling.

Which proves the comparisons Peck and Sybesma make to Burning Man actually kind of legit.

“We really want to create a place where people can have a little bit of a throwback experience – a ritualistic, joint, shared experience in a physical place,” Peck told the Broward-Palm Beach New Times in December. “Real people, in real time, with real music, just in nature … it’s why [people] go on vacation. You want to have this adventure, this experience that you’re never going to forget.” feedback@orlandoweekly.com

HEARTLESS BASTARDS

BY B AO L E - H U U

PHOTO BY MIKE DUNN

The recent double-headed bill

of SWMRS and the Frights (Feb. 26, Backbooth) was a showcase loaded with the next wave of West Coast punk’s direct descendants. SWMRS’ lineup includes the son of Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong, and both bands are currently riding albums produced by Zac Carper of FIDLAR, a scene-blazing band that features two sons of T.S.O.L.’s Greg Kuehn.

But don’t get too carried away with that last shared credit and notions of inheritance.

Neither are FIDLAR’s heirs apparent – at least not yet.

Oakland’s SWMRS are punk kids, and like kids, focus isn’t always their rule. As their new album, Drive North, shows, they’re in all manner of genres. Some praise this mixtape perspective as a modern virtue, but the truth is that the returns are mixed. They’re a fun, sunny band, but they’re a little obvious and can swing from youthful freshness to pop cheese, sometimes in the same song. Seriously, a paean to Miley Cyrus is as un-punk as it gets.

However, onstage and free of the indulgent studio gloss, they’re more direct and convincing.

San Diego’s the Frights are truer to the current school of garage punk and rock with more fire and precision.

With threads of surf, doo-wop and some interestingly weird sonics, they’re a bratty, shambolic tumble with lots of catchy, scuffed hooks.

Although these bands aren’t exactly furthering the cause yet, the show, even in all its developmental adolescence, was a nice glimpse into the next class of the punk

The Frights are a bratty, shambolic tumble with lots of catchy, scuffed hooks. scene. The audience was so young that the Frights’ cover of Violent Femmes’ “Add It Up” – which absolutely would’ve incited a parent pit – didn’t quite pop off as much as the band probably hoped. But it was a scene, and I like what I saw in the crowd.

The pit was total mania, like a big teenage bounce house. It was gloriously wild but not violent, and cool enough to be coed – almost nothing like the tough-guy scene I came up in. I learned a shitload of things from those days, things I wouldn’t trade for anything and things today’s youth could probably use a dose of. But I like that kids have this new reality. I think my 15-year-old self would’ve learned a lot from this, too.

THE BEAT

Each time I see them, I root harder and harder for Heartless Bastards (Feb. 24, the Social). They started out true, with pure gut, and they’ve been able to expand and evolve without losing any of that. Although the band’s musical heritage has deep roots in American music, the mighty and enduring frontwoman Erika Wennerstrom has proven to be slave to nei-

ther genre nor time. Game to mine garage, rock, blues and roots with equal comfort, they’re anything but purists. Their touchstones are classic but their pulse is raw and evergreen. And while others of their ilk have chosen a side – between toughness or heart, viscera or soul – Wennerstrom has transcended niche by threading the needle with a well-calibrated blend of beauty, earthiness and power. That’s why it’s been great to see their steady climb from being your favorite band’s favorite band (they were first widely championed by the Black Keys) to establishing a solid fan base of their very own.

Hopefully, the same will happen soon for opener Susto from Charleston, South Carolina. Although still quite young, they’ve been keeping very good company with modern Southern-rock royalty including native contemporaries like Band of Horses and Shovels and Rope.

Staking some gorgeous ground between Futurebirds and Deer Tick, their brand of country-rock is more taste and clarity than diesel and beer. Their exceptional melodies come in long, lean, curling lines set against sonic atmosphere that’s rich and bright.

Susto may have less name recognition than some of their peers but they’re actually packing more intrinsic goods than many of the marquee names already. Elegant and indie but with a clear, beautiful twang, they’re easily one of the most melodically perfect of an already deep class.

Stuff this clearly good seldom stays buried.

Keep an eye on these guys. baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

OUR PICKS FOR THE BEST EVENTS THIS WEEK

Thursday-Sunday, 3-6

Aries Spears COMEDY

You know that thing where you love someone’s art but you hate their politics?

Let’s call it “Wagner Was a Nazi” syndrome. America has suffered through an advanced case of it lately, to wit: all those Annie Hall DVDs in the trash when we learned about Woody Allen’s idea of baby-sitting, or the parade of 60 women it took to finally convince us that when it comes to dating, Bill Cosby is a sandbagging sonofabitch. And Twitter is Ground Zero for celebs to show their asses, which is why sometimes avoiding your favorites’ feeds is a good idea. Aries Spears’ stand-up has had us cry-laughing more than once – his impressions of Shaq and Charles Barkley are viciously, flawlessly hilarious – but we were bummed in December when he tweeted: “I don’t care how incredible a female mc is the best female mc could only hold her own wita a subpar male mc! Rap like sports is a man thing!” UGH. Get with the now, Spears. We’re not giving up on him yet, though, and until he finally gets that HBO comedy special, his live dates are the best way to bask in the Shaq. – Jessica Bryce Young

Thursday-Monday, March 3-7

My Dear Watson THEATER

Wednesday, 2

Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival EVENTS

Animating Frozen’s Elsa probably took its share of blood, sweat and tears, but imagine creating the chilly princess out of a shrub. Starting today, you can see Elsa, Anna and other timeless Disney characters converted by horticulturists into foliage form at Epcot’s annual International Flower and Garden Festival.

Not interested in creative hedges? Check out one of the festival’s unique gardens, which include a bonsai collection, floating mini gardens and healing plants. Epcot also plans to host 13 outdoor kitchens, ranging from Parisian cuisine to modern Chinese favorites, and gardening experts who can give you tips on how to improve your succulent collection. Epcot is, lest we forget, still part of Walt Disney World, so tickets aren’t cheap, but for the garden connoisseur, it’s well worth it. – Monivette Cordeiro through May 30 | Epcot, 200 Epcot Center Drive, Lake Buena Vista | 407-939-5277 | price of admission

Sherlock Holmes has always been popular. In addition to the original Arthur Conan Doyle stories being almost continuously in print since the 1880s, Holmes holds the Guinness World Record for the most portrayed literary human character in film and television (edged out slightly by Dracula, whom Guinness has declared a non-human).

Adaptations and interpretations of the great detective are as diverse as they are plentiful, but one thing is nearly constant: the friendship of John Watson. In My Dear Watson, originally conceived as a master’s thesis at Rollins College, playwright Jami-Leigh Bartschi explores that special relationship from their first meeting to Holmes’ climactic battle with Moriarty above the Reichenbach Falls. And what better way to delve into underlying motivations and feelings than the power of musical theater? The ubiquitous John DiDonna both stars in and co-directs this production, assisted in direction by Chris Pruitt and on stage by Kyle Stone as Dr. Watson. Bartschi herself serves as the musical director, ensuring a faithful re-creation of her original thesis. – Thaddeus McCollum 8 p.m. | Mandell Theater, Lowndes Shakespeare Center, 812 E.

Touch: The Human Experience DANCE

Alabama native Marshall Ellis has made a name for himself running the Marshall Ellis Theatre and associated dance troupe, ME Dance, since 2011. Starting this season, however, he’s taking his initials off the troupe’s name in favor of the less self-referential Dance Theatre of Orlando. Ellis’ troupe kicks off their rebranding season with Touch: The Human Experience, an original series of dance vignettes set during the Great Depression and set to the music of Bruce Springsteen. If you’re a Springsteen purist – or just someone who knows how to work a calendar – who’s thinking to yourself, “Hey, wait a minute. Springsteen wasn’t around to make music during the Depression; he’s just from Jersey,” chill out: Jersey and depression have gone hand in hand for billions of years, and there’s an inherent mirroring between the beaten-down blue collar worker ballads of Springsteen’s ’70s and ’80s material and the beaten-down blue collar workers of the Great Depression. Because history may not repeat itself, but it sure does rhyme, as Mark Twain is often credited with saying. – TM

Puppy Love Dog Festival

Mutual Benefit & Moon Jelly

EVENTS

MUSIC

Every dog has his day, and this is definitely one you and your four-legged pal should celebrate. Join the rest of the pack at one of the hippest pet parties in Orlando with your friendly, vaccinated and leashed furry friend for a doggone good time. You and your pooch can strut down the runway in a doggie fashion show, amaze audiences in the best trick contest or just chill out and relax as you both wolf down some treats.

Entrance to the event is free, but a $5 donation to go toward local animal rescues is appreciated, plus it comes with a cute bandana for Fido. Looking good and doing good? That’s enough to make any tail wag. – Deanna Ferrante

Indie rock up-and-comers Mutual Benefit are drifting from their regular tour schedule for a one-off show in Orlando this Saturday. Already applauded by the likes of Pitchfork for their soothingly dreamy sounds, Mutual Benefit unplugs even further for a stripped-down performance at the Gallery at Avalon Island. (Built in 1886, the Rogers Building that the gallery occupies is the oldest building operating in Orlando, and is now used to display contemporary art.) Also on the musical agenda for the evening are hometown psychonauts Moon Jelly, and to round out an already stacked lineup, Kate Shults of the UCF School of Visual Arts and Design accompanies the show with a video and light installation. – Marissa Mahoney

noon-4 p.m. | The Acre Orlando, 4421 Edgewater Drive | puppylovefestival.com | free

7 p.m. | The Gallery at Avalon Island, 39 S. Magnolia Ave. | 407-317-8367 | avalongallery.org | donations encouraged

The Garland Magic: A Tribute to Judy Garland MUSIC

Frances Ethel “Baby” Gumm – the child vaudeville star who became America’s sweetheart after changing her name to Judy Garland, singing a song on a trolley, and following a yellow brick road – was a hot mess of a person. Fragile and belligerent by turns after being used (and borderline-abused) by everyone around her pretty much from birth, she embodied the tragic-star cliché, tantrums, overdoses and all. But maybe it was that bitter undercurrent that grounded the warm, soaring sweetness of her voice. Tonight the Orlando Philharmonic, with Broadway singing star Karen Mason and under the baton of Michael Berkowitz, performs a tribute to Garland spotlighting the high points of her famed 1961 Carnegie Hall comeback concert, sometimes called “the greatest night in showbiz history.” The recording of that show is goosebumpinducing, especially “Over the Rainbow,” but we’re hoping Mason can nail Garland’s throbbing interpretation of “How Long Has This Been Going On?” And, OK, we’ll admit that a little part of us also hopes for a cameo appearance by Mark Baratelli’s pill-addled, non sequitur-spouting Judy (from his eponymous Orlando Fringe show).

As far as we’re concerned, that part of her life was part of the magic too. (Who knows, maybe Baratelli will crash the stage? Fingers crossed.) – JBY 2 and 8 p.m. | Bob Carr Theater, 401 W. Livingston St. | 407-770-0071 | orlandophil.org | $17-$78

STATE CHAMPS

Sunday, 6

State Champs & Neck Deep MUSIC

When Alternative Press is sponsoring an event, chances are that it’ll be of the pop-punk variety, and this show is no exception. State Champs and Neck Deep continue their co-headlining tour of world domination, which has taken them through Europe, Asia, Australia and now Florida. It’s a rather impressive feat considering neither of the bands has been around for more than a few years, but that doesn’t stop their albums from making it onto the Billboard charts. Knuckle Puck and Like Pacific are joining in for the ride, and although the venue has changed (it was originally scheduled to be held at Venue 578) the core of the light-hearted, love-focused genre remains the same. – Kim Slichter 4 p.m. | The Beacham, 46 N. Orange Ave. | 407-246-1419 | thebeacham.com | $17-$30

LULU E IG HT B A L L

BY EMILY FLAKE

again. And this cleaning process stings. The cleaning of a wound hurts. Yes. Healing takes so much work. So much persistence.

And so much patience.” According to my analysis, you should be attending to this tough but glorious task. Although the work might be hard, it won’t be anywhere near as hard as it usually is. And you are likely to make more progress than you would be able to at other times.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Actress Blythe Baird writes about the problem that arises when her dog sees her eating a peanut butter and chocolate chip bagel. Her beloved pet begs for a piece and becomes miserable when it’s not forthcoming. Baird is merely demonstrating her love, of course, because she knows that eating chocolate can make canines ill. I suspect that life is bestowing a comparable blessing on you. You may feel mad and sad about being deprived of something you want. But the likely truth is that you will be lucky not to get it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) “I do not literally paint that table, but rather the emotion it produces upon me,” French artist Henri Matisse told an interviewer. “But what if you don’t always have emotion?” she asked him. This is how Matisse replied: “Then I do not paint. This morning, when I came to work, I had no emotion.

So I took a horseback ride. When I returned, I felt like painting, and had all the emotion I wanted.” This is excellent advice for you to keep in mind. Even more than usual, it’s crucial that you imbue every important thing you do with pure, strong emotions. If they’re not immediately available, go in quest of them.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Some night soon, I predict you’ll dream of being an enlightened sovereign who presides over an ecologically sustainable paradise. You’re a visionary leader who is committed to peace and high culture, so you’ve never gone to war.

You share your wealth with the people in your kingdom. You revere scientists and shamans alike, providing them with what they need to do their good work for the enhancement of the realm. Have fun imagining further details of this dream, or else make up your own.

Now is an excellent time to visualize a fairy tale version of yourself at the height of your powers, living your dreams and sharing your gifts.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) It’s not always necessary to have an expansive view of where you have been and where you are going, but it’s crucial right now. So I suggest that you take an inventory of the big picture. For guidance, study this advice from philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche: “What have you truly loved? What has uplifted your soul, what has dominated and delighted it at the same time?

Assemble these revered objects in a row before you and they may reveal a law by their nature and their order: the fundamental law of your very self.”

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Sportswear manufacturer Adidas is looking for ways to repurpose trash that humans dump in the oceans. One of its creations is a type of shoe made from illegal deepsea nets that have been confiscated from poachers. I invite you to get inspired by Adidas’ work. From an astrological perspective, now is a good time to expand and refine your personal approach to recycling. Brainstorm about how you could convert waste and refuse into useful, beautiful resources – not just literally, but also metaphorically. For example, is there a ruined or used-up dream that could be transformed into raw material for a shiny new dream?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) “There isn’t enough of anything as long as we live,” wrote Raymond Carver. “But at intervals a sweetness appears and, given a chance, prevails.” According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you’ll soon be gliding through one of these intervals. Now and then you may even experience the strange sensation of being completely satisfied with the quality and amount of sweetness that arrives. To ensure optimal results, be as free from greed as you can possibly be.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) “For a wound to heal, you have to clean it out,” says author Yasmin Mogahed. “Again, and again, and

74

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) “The other day, lying in bed,” writes poet Rodger Kamenetz, “I felt my heart beating for the first time in a long while. I realized how little I live in my body, how much in my mind.” He speaks for the majority of us. We spend much of our lives entranced by the relentless jabber that unfolds between our ears. But I want to let you know that the moment is ripe to rebel against this tendency in yourself. In the coming weeks, you will have a natural talent for celebrating your body. You’ll be able to commune deeply with its sensations, to learn more abut how it works, and to exult in the pleasure it gives you and the wisdom it provides.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) In his “Dream Song 67,” poet John Berryman confesses, “I am obliged to perform in complete darkness operations of great delicacy on my self.” I hope you will consider embarking on similar heroics. It’s not an especially favorable time to overhaul your environment or try to get people to change in accordance with your wishes. But it’s a perfect moment to spruce up your inner world – to tinker with and refine it so that everything in there works with more grace. And unlike Berryman, you won’t have to proceed in darkness. The light might not be bright, but there’ll be enough of a glow to see what you’re doing.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Here’s the dictionary’s definition of the word “indelible”: “having the quality of being difficult to remove, wash away, blot out or efface; incapable of being canceled, lost or forgotten.” The word is often used in reference to unpleasant matters: stains on clothes, biases that distort the truth, superstitions held with unshakable conviction or painful memories of romantic break-ups. I am happy to let you know that you now have more power than usual to dissolve seemingly indelible stuff like that. Here’s a trick that might help you: Find a new teacher or teaching that uplifts you with indelible epiphanies.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) According to poet Tony Hoagland, most of us rarely “manage to finish a thought or a feeling; we usually get lazy or distracted and quit halfway through.”

Why? Hoagland theorizes that we “don’t have the time to complete the process, and we dislike the difficulty and discomfort of the task.” There’s a cost for this negligence: “We walk around full of half-finished experiences.” That’s why Hoagland became a poet.

He says that “poems model the possibility of feeling all the way through an emotional process” and “thinking all the way through a thought.” The coming weeks will be a favorable time to get more in the habit of finishing your own feelings and thoughts. It will also be more important than usual that you do so! Hoagland’s comments appeared in Gulf Coast: A Journal of Literature and Fine Arts.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Unless you work at night and sleep by day, you experience the morning on a regular basis. You may have a love-hate relationship with it, because on the one hand you don’t like to leave your comfortable bed so early, and on the other hand you enjoy anticipating the interesting events ahead of you. But aside from your personal associations with the morning, this time of day has always been a potent symbol of awakenings and beginnings. Throughout history, poets have invoked it to signify purity and promise. In myth and legend, it often represents the chance to see things afresh, to be free of the past’s burdens, to love life unconditionally. Dream interpreters might suggest that a dream of morning indicates a renewed capacity to trust oneself. All of these meanings are especially apropos for you right now.

Meet Gunga (Animal ID A342328). She was recently surrendered to the shelter because her owner could no longer care for her.

Are you incapable of concision? Your answers are too long! You blather on, often rehashing the problem (unnecessary!) before giving four words (at most!) of (rarely!) useful advice. I’ve heard you say you have to edit letters down for space.

Try this instead: Edit yourself! I want more of the letters – more from the people asking questions – and less of YOU. Keep It Short, Savage, Expressed Sincerely

Feedback is always appreciated, KISSES. I’m 30, happily married, with my husband since I was 17. First boyfriend, kiss, etc. I never had sex with anyone else. This never bothered me because I wasn’t really into sex – but there have been big changes in the last year. I guess I am having a sexual awakening. My sex drive increased, and I’ve started reading erotica and fantasizing about getting kinky.

I’ve also been having very strong urges to fuck someone else.

As someone who always had strong values and opinions when it comes to sex and marriage and cheating, these feelings really confused me! So I found a safe and harmless outlet: Second Life. I created a hot avatar and have been role-playing, talking dirty and banging people across the world for six months. I love it. I get to experience scenarios I fantasize about but would never do in real life.

Before your readers start pulling the cheater card: I have talked about this with my husband, and I have his blessing. He knows I have an SL account and I’m having cybersex.

Here’s where it gets murky. Most of my SL friends haven’t asked if I’m taken in RL, and I haven’t told them that I am. I flirt as if I’m single, though, because I’m worried people will treat me differently if they know I’m married. I do not wish to meet or have RL sex with anyone I meet on SL, and I make that clear to everyone. I don’t do photos/voice chat/Skype. But if someone asks me if I’m married in RL, I always tell the truth. I’m writing because I’m worried about this one guy. The cybersex is super hot, and he’s sweet. He’s my go-to guy, and I’m his go-to girl. He knows I have cybersex with other people in SL, and I have told him he is obviously allowed to have sex with others too. But I’m worried our SL relationship has become a bit more.

He leaves me messages when I’m not online, telling me he misses me and “loves being with me,” and I’ve said the same to him. I’ve also made it clear I have no intention of meeting anyone from SL in RL, ever.

Regardless of my intentions, I’m worried that I’m crossing the line and being unfair to my husband.

I’m also worried that I’m being unfair to my guy in SL, because I’m sure he must think I’m single, even though he has never asked. Am I crossing the line and at risk of hurting my husband/SL guy? Or am I just having some harmless fun that helps me satisfy this strange new itch that’s driving me crazy?

Second Lifer And Spouse Haver P.S. It’s important to note that SL has not negatively impacted my RL sex life and, if anything, has made it better. It has also made me happier and less cranky at home.

You’re doing nothing wrong, SLASH.

I am a kinkster. I have been since I can remember (I am now 21 years old), and I have never told anyone about my deep dark desires until this last year.

During my time at university, I made good friends with a guy who I was able to open up to about my preferences, as he had similar desires.

We created a beneficial arrangement. I suddenly no longer felt like I needed to suppress my “fucked up” masochistic needs and became extremely happy and more comfortable with them. I keep a journal, and naturally I wrote about this arrangement and a lot of the explicit details.

Last summer, my mother read my entire journal and was horrified by it. After she read it, I received a very nasty text message from her about how our relationship was over, she couldn’t believe what I had done, and she was no longer going to help pay for my postgraduate courses, etc. She was deeply disturbed to learn that some money she had given me for my 21st birthday was spent on a hotel room where I met up with my kinky friend. (It wasn’t like we could meet in my family home!) I never wanted my mother to know about any of this, and I feel bad for how it upset her, but this was also a huge violation of my privacy.

The only way to resolve the situation was for me to pretend that I deeply regretted everything I did, tell her I can see now how messed up those “weird” sex practices are, and say that I’m cured and will never engage in them again.

Months have passed and I’m still angry with her for having read my diary. I feel sad about the lies I told and having to pretend – still – that I regret what I did. Because the truth is I’ve never felt more like myself than when I am doing BDSM. It’s not my entire world, but it is an important part of who I am. How do you think I should take things from here? She’ll never understand, so telling her isn’t an option, but that means suppressing my deep upset at her as well.

Mother Unfairly Destroyed Daughter’s Libido Entirely

Fuck mom; be you, MUDDLE.* * Shit, I really can’t do this one in just four words.

Confront your fucking mother, MUDDLE, once you’re out of grad school (priorities!). Confront her about the awful, shitty things she did to you: reading your journal; shaming you for your sexual interests and your private, consensual, respectful and healthy sexual explorations; and her unforgivable acts of emotional and financial blackmail. You should also wave the results of this study under her nose when you confront her: livescience.com/34832-bdsm-healthy-psychology. html. It’s just one of several studies showing that people who practice BDSM – not just fantasize about it but actually practice it – are psychologically healthier than vanilla people.
