How will anyone know if George Zimmerman did not aim his gun at [Matthew] Apperson before he shot?

Stand your ground? It’s not the first time Zimmerman threatened someone with a gun. This man had told the police weeks BEFORE this incident that George Zimmerman threatened him. Zimmerman is trouble. He will always be trouble. When he moves, he will take his trouble with him.

He will either end up killing someone else, or he will pick on the wrong person and he will be killed. Just wait and see.

40 The Week 41 Down the Road

This is a topic close to my heart (“Florida makes High Times’’ list of states most likely to legalize weed,” Jan. 14). I live in a medical marijuana state. My sister passed away two weeks ago from breast cancer. She saw the promising research on marijuana’s possible treatment for many kinds of cancer, including breast, and was curious to try it.

She approached her doctor about getting a recommendation and he made her feel like a criminal for asking. He said it had no medicinal value and if she used it, he would refuse to treat her any longer.

She was shamed for asking and never brought it up again.

She passed after years of fighting. It makes me sick to think of the difference marijuana could have made in everything from chemotherapy side effects to shrinking the tumors that pained her constantly and eventually took her life.

Attitudes and laws are slowly changing.

And as we wait for common sense to return to the marijuana discussion, more will suffer and die needlessly Goldnugget, via orlandoweekly.com

Meanwhile, a blip on the news transom that runs through this office revealed that there are maneuvers from on high – OK, from presidential hopeful Jeb Bush – that there are ways to privatize Medicaid like he did with a pilot program in 2005 with extremely overrated success; also, maybe everybody should wear Apple watches to track their well being, because that sounds like a good idea. The world is going crazy.

Not everyone is so lost in this dizzying whirlwind, though. Oddly, Orlando Republican Senate President Andy Gardiner is standing his ground on the issue, even if there are bits of crust that resemble “market-based approaches” lining the corner of his mouth.

“It remains clear that a sustainable long-term solution is needed,” Gardiner told senators, according to the Times. “As you are aware, the Senate has proposed a Florida solution.”

And the House caught on fire. Just another week of dying in Florida, then.

Who doesn’t love a violence

Mecca of murder? We don’t, but who are we to judge? Last week, the Orlando Sentinel reported that Shooters World – a sort of Fairvilla of weapons of carnage, or Walmart of heavy artillery – is moving ahead this summer with its 82,000-square-foot behemoth store out in the region of the Turnpike and John Young Parkway. Moreover, the place will be a tourist attraction, so it’s kind of like Disney World for people who love guns maybe a little too much.

Think of all the fun you’ll have, though, when surrounded by 3,000 firearms in a closed location. Think of the family sharing experiences you could have at a 54-lane shooting range, which is kind of like bowling, right?

At any rate, the plans have been in the works for about a year, with the city of Orlando approving the planned development last April.

And, what the hell, there’s already a Shooter’s World in Tampa, and we all know that we could use more #floridaman here in the center of the state.

“It’s a destination. Not just your typical gun store,” Shooters World general manager Bruce Kitzis, told WESH-2 News last year.

“We bring a family environment.”

Big saps A not-too-comprehensive review of the city’s significant trees

By ASHLey BeLAnGeR, THADDeuS MCCoLLuM, eRin SuLLivAn AnD JeSSiCA BRyCe younG | PHoToS By ASHLey BeLAnGeR

ack in March, a controversy sprouted in the oddest of places – someone was spotted taking soil borings from the ground in a small, nondescript park near downtown Orlando called Constitution Green. The park, a patch of grass with a handful of massive old oak trees, is owned by a private organization called Mabel Groves Ltd. The city has leased and maintained the property as a park, even though it isn’t zoned for recreational use like other parks but as vacant commercial property. When the city first started leasing the plot in the 1980s, the lease was set for 10 years at a time; but in 2005, the last 10-year lease ended and according to documents obtained from the city, it’s been on a month-to-month lease ever since. Which is why those soil borings troubled some locals in the know, including City Commissioner Patty Sheehan. According to Sheehan, the family that owns the park was thinking about selling or developing it, which could potentially mean curtains for the old oaks that have been there for decades.

At least one of those trees, people pointed out, has been at that location for nearly 200 years, and is on the city’s list of “significant trees.”

People held rallies at the park, Critical Mass held a bike ride highlighting the significant trees in Orlando and even Mayor Buddy Dyer made a statement on the city’s website that, although the property owners had a right to develop the property, “they should not be allowed to remove a historic tree.”

On the sidelines and in the background, some people asked: What makes these trees so special when so many other trees and greenspaces are plowed under, plundered for development or simply neglected? Take, for instance, Lake Lorna Doone Park on Orlando’s west side, which political activist Doug Head points out has been languishing in the shadow of the Citrus Bowl for years.

The park’s lake (which was recently cleaned up by volunteers from Eco Action) has been choked with algae, weeds and trash. Part of the park has been used for parking for Citrus Bowl events. Nobody shakes a stick about the trees over there.

Then there are all the trees that are going to be collateral damage due to construction on the I-4 Ultimate Project, which will expand the highway from Orlando through Altamonte Springs. And the fact that in Mount Dora, somebody made the genius decision to take out the gorgeous mature oak trees lining the sidewalks and replace them 10

with spindly palms that are nowhere near as majestic and certainly don’t provide much in the way of protective canopy. Where’s the love for those trees?

What makes some trees “significant,” while others are disposable? That’s not an easy question to answer. At the moment, the city map of significant trees contains seven locations (not all of the trees on the list are singular plants – a few of the entries cover all of the same types of trees in a designated area or park). We asked city spokeswoman Cassandra Lafser to tell us how they were chosen as significant and what the process was for getting a tree on that map. As it turns out, there’s really no process and those trees don’t have any specific significance at all, except that they’re nice, conveniently located and easy to find.

“The map you’re referring to was a marketing effort to expose people to some of Orlando’s large, old or majestic trees,” Lafser says. “The list was compiled from no specific formula, but more of trees that we knew were accessible, visible, easy to get to all at once, and that we thought people might be interested in seeing.”

The city of Orlando does have a tree-protection ordinance, which makes it possible to designate any tree that’s 30 inches in diameter or larger as a historic tree. This demarcation could potentially protect them from being taken down for development. It doesn’t mean the map of significant trees will branch out, but you never know when the next push for tree-hugging might occur.

We took a tour of the trees designated as significant by Orlando, and we reviewed each stop on a 5-star scale to determine just how special we think they are. Although the city may not have selected them for any specific reasons, we are (as they say) big saps who fell hard for our city’s longstanding oaks, pines and camphors (even if camphor is an invasive plant). Here’s our take on the city’s significant arboreal wonders. orlandoweekly.com

1. Mayor Carl T. Langford Park, 100 Rosearden Drive While oak trees litter streets, cloud out yards and are a commonplace, almost unspecial, sight in this city, the dense canvas of oaks at Langford Park – live oak, laurel, shumard and swamp chestnut – transforms the norm with its surreal enclosed environment. Upon entering, you drop into psychedelic lushness like you wandered into Bio-Dome. The trees shroud out the sky, except for shrubby branches that grow sparse at their furthest extent. Individual leaves take shape in kindergarten-ish designs, but clashing against each other overhead, there’s ample intrigue in interwoven limbs.

HHHHH 2. Longleaf pine trees at H.H. Dickson Azalea Park, 100 Rosearden Drive Look up! If you’re trying to locate Dickson Azalea’s contribution to the significant trees map, head for the corner of Washington and Rosearden, outside the park but near the sign, and put your head alllll the way back. (They’re the tallest trees in the park and easier to spot from the sidewalk than from inside it.) Dickson Azalea may be the most enchanting park in Orlando, all hidden in a low mossy dell with winding paths and a babbling brook, but their Pinus palustris is all about sky appeal.

The longleafs are tall and skinny, scrubby gnarly trunks with bursts of needles spraying out just at the top. The spring-green fireworks go off 20 feet above this quiet greenspace designed by Mulford Foster and built by the Works Progress Administration in 1935.

HHHHH 3. Constitution Green Park, 300 S. Summerlin Ave. It seems unfair that the trees in this little greenspace have to compete with the trees in the other parks on this list – most of the other trees have beautifully landscaped city grounds against which to be all splendid and magnificent. Since Constitution Green Park isn’t city-owned, though, it’s sort of a plain park with nothing more than some grass and benches and then the trees. But in a way, that makes them even more awesome, because they’re like the little surprise flowers that spring up from cracks in between the pavement – they thrive despite the fact that you hardly ever notice them and when you do take a closer look, you’re all, “Wow – this tree sitting between these apartment buildings and busy roadways is kind of awesome.”

That’s particularly true of the significant tree in

CoVer STory

question (the giant one in the middle of the park), which is so huge and old that its gigantic branches have drooped all the way to the ground (“recumbent,” the city’s map calls them). It also has what the city calls “crown adaptation” – a forcing of branch growth in an opposite direction due to “another tree on the opposite side.”

(Although we’re not totally sure what happened to that other tree, because it just looks like one massive old oak tree to us – either somebody removed this tree’s Siamese twin, or the tree that’s there now consumed its sibling.) Anyway, if there were a tree in which fairies lived, or trees that could have a tree spirit, or a tree that could maybe be an imaginary descendent of a Game of Thrones weirwood tree, it would definitely be this tree. As significant trees go, this one is pretty fantastic.

We’re still not sure what the status is of the development of this park – the city tells us that the landlord has not yet terminated the city’s lease on the park, so there are no specific development plans yet, and Sheehan’s office told us there’s no new information about the park’s status. All we can say is that it would be a damn shame if we didn’t find a way to preserve this tree. It’s a good one.

HHHHH 4. Lake eola Park, 195 n. Rosalind Ave. It’s the large live oak trees that line Lake Eola’s pathways that the city says are the significant ones here – but we must challenge the powers that be on that call. While the oaks are great, they don’t hold a candle to, say, the Mayor or Big Tree Park’s namesake. Also, when you’re at Lake Eola, it’s not the oaks that blow us away – it’s the cypress trees. Have you seen those cypress trees? They’re not all that big, but they’re what make this park’s treeline unique. Their weird nubby roots in the water provide roosting spots for waterfowl, the spaces in between the trees along the water’s edge make perfect spots for swans to build nests, and they look pretty spectacular standing out in the lake against the city backdrop. The oaks are lovely, but we have to throw our lot in with the cypress.

Honorable mention: Those two weird palm trees growing out of the overgrowth on the weird random island just off the lake’s west shore. They’re badass.

HHHHH(but mostly for the cypress) 5. Big Tree Park, 930 n. Thornton Ave. From the street, the titular live oak at Big Tree Park looks pretty impressive, and at 400 years old – the oldest tree in Orlando – it should. But if you take a closer look, you’ll see that time has taken its toll on this old gal. There’s significant scarring on the back of the tree, an old burrow in its roots has been filled in with cement, and it looks like several limbs have been lopped off. This makes Big Tree appear to have a little bit of a lean in its swagger, exacerbated by the lone limb that reaches all the way to the ground. We appreciate that bit of rough, young charm coming from a seasoned veteran like Big Tree, but we also wish someone had taken a little better care of her.

HHHHH

6: Allée of camphor trees, Harry P. Leu Gardens, 1920 n. Forest Ave. Some trees are like, “Gaze up at my towering majesty!” and some are like, “Climb in, get comfy, maybe bring a book and an apple.”

Leu Gardens’ camphor trees are the latter sort. Head to the back of the park, past the rose garden and the citrus grove, and eventually you’ll come to a sidewalk lined in either direction with a row of fragrant Cinnamomum camphora, a nonnative evergreen that’s generally deplored for displacing native plants. Ignore the camphors’ bad habits in the wild, though, and enjoy these split-trunked beauties – with their low forks, they look like the perfect climbing trees. Resist the urge, and instead Instagram your face off trying to capture the mossy trunks, clad in pantaloons of hairy resurrection ferns and surrounded by banks of peace lilies.

HHHHH 7. The Mayor at Loch Haven Park, 900 e. Princeton St. The city’s official significant trees map lists the location of the Mayor as Loch Haven Park, but it’s actually on the south side of Princeton Street, on the grounds of the Mennello Museum.

Once you catch a glimpse of it, you’ll understand its “significant” designation. Like a sprawling oaken octopus or a fairy’s circus tent, the massive limbs of the Mayor spread out and then down, creating a shaded cage that stirs up childhood memories of climbing. You’ll see plenty of youngsters running around the branches during Kids Fringe, which takes place in the Mennello’s sculpture gardens, and you’ll probably be jealous.

S

ometimes you’ll see a faint image shimmering off the side of a brick building – a ghostly reminder of what ad signage used to be before vinyl banners and precut plastic stick-on letters.

Without diving too deep into the technical with a discussion of leading and kerning, let’s just stipulate that hand-painted letter-

ing’s very imperfections are what makes it so perfect. And whether their words are swooping in flying curlicues or sitting bold and stolidly blocky, hand-lettered signs possess a soul that no machine-made sign can imitate.

Call it an art form or a commercial trade, hand-painted signage is enjoying a revival. Kenji Nakayama, an artist and commercial sign painter from Boston by way of Hokkaido, is in the vanguard on both fronts.

“I wanted to become a craftsman who makes a living off of a special skill set.

Commercial art was something more attractive to me than fine art, and sign painting was something I wanted to learn for my future career when I made my mind to leave Japan for Butera,” Nakayama says about his mid-2000s education at Boston’s legendary (and now closed) Butera School of Art, an institution that was dedicated to teaching and preserving the traditional skill.

Since Butera’s shuttering, only one school in the country, California’s Los Angeles Trade Technical College, teaches this vanishing trade. But the resurgence in traditional, handmade products feeds the desire for traditionally hand-made ad graphics.

That small-batch mustard or artisanal mustache wax can’t be repped with a vinyl banner or some janky stick-ons, after all.

Of course, signs can do more than just advertise products; sometimes they advertise need. In 2013, Nakayama’s Signs for

the Homeless project made an art-world splash. He lent his talents to homeless Bostonians who populated corners holding battered cardboard placards, repainting their messages of hardship and privation with bright colors and attention-grabbing letterforms. It’s a project that combines social practice art, performance art and commercial graphic art in one package, and it brought Nakayama to the attention of Alya Poplawsky and Katy Bakker, the partners of AK Art Consulting, who also currently curate Twelve21 Gallery’s art shows.

“Although his work was not a good fit for our corporate clients, we always had him at the back of our minds, as tends to happen with impactful artists we come across in our [consulting] work,” Poplawsky says. “When Twelve21 Gallery told us that a sign painting show was something they had always wanted to do, we were like, ‘Eureka!’”

There are plenty of contemporary artists exploring the vernacular of sign-painting in their work (like Stephen Powers and Baron Von Fancy); and of course Ed Ruscha, the dean of SoCal cool, looms over the text-based painting tradition. But Ruscha did actually work as a commercial sign painter for a time, and many artists who figure prominently in the current hand-lettering-as-art movement (Caitlyn Galloway, Norma Jeanne Maloney, San Francisco’s New Bohemia collective) ply the trade for a living. Nakayama chooses not to choose between labels.

“Being an artist allows me to do something outside the box, and being a craftsman makes me appreciate the basics and how to make things properly, professionally, and execute them correctly,” he says.

In this small show, Nakayama investigates the material, lexical and graphic vernacular thoroughly – idiomatic Americanisms like “Go figure” and “Measure twice” are painted on vintage saws, the careful letters immaculately traced upon the tools’ worn, pitted and rusty surfaces. They’re “mainly some words related to craftsmen, workingclass things and a few randoms,” Nakayama says, but like using a hand saw instead of a power tool, like eating Slow Food instead of fast food or taking a long walk instead of a highway drive, these painstakingly lettered texts engage deeper meaning than any instant message ever could.

God Is a Scottish Drag Queen 3 Is there anything more sidesplitting than Mike Delamont’s drag deity schvitzing through a polyester power suit while slinging satirical arrows against dogmatic hypocrisy and Orlando humidity? Part 3 is more of the same, and at only an hour long it’s never enough.

The Lion Queen and the Naked Go-Go Cub Just as entertaining as I remembered it from a decade ago, with a handful of welcome tweaks. The show still has stellar production values, an all-star cast and sharply sloppy direction by Kenny Howard.

The new legally permissible sound-alike score sounds great, and the new gratuitously nude guy can actually act, but thank god Doug Ba’aser still hasn’t memorized his lines – it wouldn’t be the same if he did.

Time to clutch your lanyards, festival fanatics, for these will be my final words on the Fringe for 2015 … or at least until I share some event statistics in the June edition of Culture 2 Go. As you may have inferred from our saturation coverage in our past couple of print issues and online, the 24th annual Orlando International Fringe Theatre Festival was a big effin’ deal, bringing more than 130 productions in every imaginable genre to Loch Haven Park, and (yet again) bringing me to the brink of exhaustion.

At this writing, on the Thursday before the Fringe’s Memorial Day finale, I’ve seen 61 unique shows and written reviews of 35. Due to an early press deadline, I had to select my top three “best of the fest” selections for last week’s issue after only seeing about two dozen shows.

I must be prescient, because the trio I picked is still at the top of my list of 40-plus productions. In particular, Martin Dockery and Vanessa Quesnelle’s magical-realism romance Moonlight After Midnight remains one of my favorite original plays of this Fringe or any other.

Of the nearly 30 remaining shows I covered in full-length reviews (all of which you can find at orlandoweekly.com)

Once I Laughed In the most polished original musical I’ve seen so far, writer-director Donald Rupe has created a tuneful, touching (if a touch long) Andrews Sisters answer to Jersey Boys that MOONLIGHT AFTER MIDNIGHT I could see ending up in New York. Lauren Culver and Kayla Kelsay Morales are excellent as Patty and Maxene in this Central the standouts included The 11 O’Clock Florida Community Arts production, but Number, Autobahn, Butt Kapinski, Chase Sara Catherine Barnes’ sassy LaVerne brings & Stacey’s Joyride to Eternity, Grim and down the house.

Fischer, Jon Bennett: My Dad’s Deaths and Tales Too Tall for Trailers.

Rainer Hersch’s Victor Borge I also greatly enjoyed Darwin vs.

I only knew Victor Borge from 1980s TV Rednecks, Peter n’ Chris and the Mystery ads hawking his VHS tapes, but Hersch of the Hungry Heart Motel and Sex, Drugs, piqued my interest in the parodic pianist Rock & Roll, all of which were reviewed by by effortlessly transforming himself from other OW contributors. a quick-witted British comic into the softIn addition, here are mini-reviews of spoken Danish superstar. Come for the some of my favorite shows that we were re-creations of iconic skits like “phonetic unable to cover in depth: punctuation,” but stay for the fascinating life story.

Dreamscape: Our Dreams Told Through Dance Tell Me on a Sunday Stephanie Lilley’s choreography organiDirector Laurel Clark brilliantly transcally evolves movement ideas and elegantly formed Andrew Lloyd Webber’s slight, static transitions between them with enthralling song-cycle into a fully staged mini-musical, aesthetic unity. This is hands-down the best and the endlessly talented Sarah-Lee Dobbs modern dance show I’ve seen at Orlando is so appealing that you can’t help falling in Fringe in five years; shame Viva Dance love with her shallow, Bechdel test-failing Company left after opening weekend and character. didn’t have time to develop the audiences they deserved.

Finally, my favorite additions to the Fringe (aside from individual shows) were the two new venues inside the Orlando Fruit Flies Like a Banana I spent four years in marching band Museum of Art, the extended hours at the struggling to walk a straight line without beer tent and the fried alligator from Pete splitting my lip, so I have no clue how this & Peg’s Roadhouse Grill. If they can only trio can play their instruments so well while whip the website’s woes, attract more volleaping around like lunatics. With 22 short unteers and arrange for weather as excellent pieces presented in random order, they as this year’s, the 2016 festival looks set to exhibit amazing range, playing everything celebrate its quarter-century in style. from delicate classical to goofy gag tunes skubersky@orlandoweekly.com

[ restaurant review ]

Chef shuffle: Farm-Haus, Orlando’s farm-to-table dinner delivery service, has announced CIA graduate Julian De Garden as their new head chef. And chef de cuisine Joe Cournoyer-Burnett and sous-chef Elek Kovacs are leaving the Ravenous Pig for “a new hog pen” – said pen being Baldwin Park’s new Osprey Tavern. Chef Nick Sierputowski, most recently at Cask & Larder, will be the new chef de cuisine at RavPig. After years of pleasing Orlandoans in other locations, Chef Eddie’s has moved into the West Church Street spot most recently vacated by McKnight’s Soul Food (and before that, Fish N Loaves and Johnson’s Diner). Fingers crossed that this latest soul-food purveyor stays put in the Amway Center-adjacent Parramore location.

Orient express Maitland walk-up joint channels a night out in Istanbul

BY FAIYAZ KARA SHISH.Co MeZZe & GrIll 118 Lake Ave., Maitland | 407-661-1336 | shishcomezzegrill.com | $

PHOTOS BY ROB BARTLETT

P

arking lots at night are typically magnets for hoodlums and ruffians, yet the paved parcel at 118 Lake Ave. in Maitland attracts a different sort of character after dusk – the intrepid gastronome.

They come from parts unknown, driving into this crammed lot for an opportunity to sample the Turkish delights coming from the glass-blocked edifice of Shish.Co Mezze & Grill.

The Mehmets running the kitchen (Tanriver and Gurkaynak, for the record) are two of the most pleasant and down-toearth chaps you’ll ever meet. On various occasions, I’ve seen Tanriver’s equally jovial wife in the kitchen and their grown-up children serving, cleaning and manning the till on the other side of the walk-up window.

Their familial warmth is tangibly felt by Shish.Co’s patrons, so much so that dining in a parking lot, under a canopy, feels very much like dining in their home. I say this not out of some meditative wool-gathering, but from being seated in close proximity to Tanriver and his clan while they broke

bread on a bench under the same canopy one night just before closing time. They willingly engaged us in banter, generously offered us complimentary dessert and coffee, then graciously bade us farewell, making every effort to ensure our return.

Prior to that moment, we dined – gorged, rather – on dishes wholly representative of one of the world’s great cuisines. Kebabs (doner and otherwise) were a given, but what really gave our meal the feel of a summertime nosh at a grand vizier’s palace were the grated zucchini “pancakes” called mucver ($7.95). Blended with carrots, dill, onions and parsley, these square-shaped fritters with a smoky spirit were served with a raita-like yogurt sauce. The char-grilled eggplant salad ($6.50) also comprised a nice smoky essence, and closely resembles baba ghanoush. Accompanying lavash resembles store-bought pita more than the inflated, piping-hot, balloon-like bread we’re accustomed to eating at Turkish restos, but it served its purpose as a worthy scooping instrument.

Peckish cinephiles exiting late-night screenings at the Enzian tend to favor Shish.Co’s beef-lamb doner ($8.50) and ground beef kofte kebab ($8.50), and with good reason. Both sandwiches are exqui-

sitely succulent, and the fact they can be enjoyed until 2 a.m. Saturday nights is just a bonus. As much as I like the two sandwiches, the chicken kebab ($9), served in a flatbread bowl with cooked bulgur, might be my favorite. The chicken is marinated overnight in a paste of red pepper and tomato, then grilled low and slow. The unmistakable flavor of cumin, the bread soaked in meat juice, the fluffy bulgur – it all makes for one wickedly good meal. (It’s good drunk food, too.)

The marinated lamb chops ($12) here are remarkably pliant; just know that they’re cooked well-done, as is customary in many countries of the Orient. Homemade baklava ($3) is good, but their kurabiyesi, shortbread cookies soaked in honey ($3), are my new addiction. I love my cookies slightly charred, and these babies were just that. They’re also best enjoyed with a little Turkish coffee or Turkish tea.

Most of Shish.Co’s orders are of the takeout variety, so if you choose to dine in (or out, rather), don’t expect loud music and belly dancers. The food, however, will have you dancing in your seat.

oPenInGS: The Waterford Lakes location of Marlow’s Tavern is scheduled to open June 9; it will be their third local outpost … Kokino Tapas Bar has opened on Turkey Lake Road in Dr. Phillips, with a daily-changing selection of small plates, a monthlychanging drinks list, and what they claim is the largest tartare menu in Orlando …

PDQ (People Dedicated to Quality) opens June 7 on Rinehart Road in Sanford.

The fast-casual resto specializes in hand-battered chicken tenders … Chef Stefano Tedeschi of Stefano’s Grill in Dr. Phillips will open Caprino’s Pizza Bar in Windermere; it will be a sports bar, with a more casual atmosphere than the Grill … Giovanni’s Italian Restaurant just opened a fifth location in Lake Nona …

Umi Restaurant opened May 19 in Winter Park, in the Park Avenue spot across from BurgerFi that has seen at least three other sushi restaurants in the past decade.

BrIeFly: Oviedo’s Sushi Pop just unveiled a newly expanded cocktail lounge … House Blend Cafe’s annual crawfish boil starts at 11 a.m. Saturday, May 30 … Shantell’s Café has moved across South Sanford Avenue, from 406 to 417 … The long-lived Juliana’s Restaurant in College Park has closed; the owners have opened a new space in Longwood, CJ’s Italian Kitchen & Bar. Jim Lakey, owner of Gallery on the Edge, plans a new restaurant called Caliente in the old Juliana’s space.

Once again, welcome to our cheap-eats roundup. Don’t see your favorite? Send us your nom-nominations for best Orlando lunches under $10 (no fast-food chains, please).

The Brass Tap 1632 N. Mills Ave., 407- 270-9538; brasstapbeerbar.com It may be tough to stay under your $10 budget when confronted with Brass Tap’s beer menu, with its concise descriptions of more than a hundred brews on tap. But stay the course and order the pepperoni and peppadew pizza, a spicy 7-inch pie on a salty pretzel crust for $7.99. It’s petite but powerful.

The Coop 610 W. Morse Blvd., Winter Park, 407-843-2667; asouthernaffair.com Get a two-piece “plenty plate,” two pieces of fried chicken plus two “fixins” (collards, fried okra, creamed corn, mac & cheese or a dozen more choices) for $7.99, or go for the “sideboard sampler” – three of those Southern-fabulous sides and a slice of cornbread for $7.49.

Ethos Vegan Kitchen 601 S. New York Ave., Winter Park, 407-228-3899; ethosvegankitchen.com Doesn’t matter if you’re vegan or not, everybody loves Ethos’ coconut curry wrap ($8.95): grilled tofu chunks slathered in curried vegan mayo and tossed with celery, raisins, raw walnuts, shredded coconut and mixed greens, then wrapped in a spinach tortilla.

The Gnarly Barley 7431 S. Orange Ave., 407-854-4999; thegnarlybarley.com It’s more of a beer joint than a restaurant, but Gnarly Barley’s chipotle brisket tacos with Tiger sauce ($3.50 each) give us reason to live. (What, we like it hot.) Just try to resist the vast craft brew menu if it’s a work day.

hot meal instead of scoffing a sandwich on the run. Treat yo’self to a plate of baked manicotti or cannelloni (with garlic bread and a salad, $8.25) and feel like an actual grown-up.

Mrs. Potato 4550 S. Kirkman Road, 407-290-0991; mrspotato.net Mrs. Potato takes rösti (kind of a mega-hash brown) in a Brazilian direction, stuffing the tender insides with various ingredients, from cheese and onions to chicken stroganoff. Three are priced at $9.99: baked beans, pulled chicken, and the aforementioned stroganoff. But if you’re really seeking the cheap, for $3 less get the filling of your choice on a baked potato instead.

Quickly Boba & Snow 3214 E. Colonial Drive, 407-270-4570; facebook.com/quicklyorlando Sure, it’s a boba-tea and slush spot, but they’ve got the savory goods, too. Grab a basket of Taiwanese-style popcorn chicken ($4.50) for spicy crunch and a side of summer rolls for some fresh veg ($3.99). Or just have macarons for lunch ($2 each) – it’s your life.

Spice Burgr 165 S. Orange Ave., 407-650-9134; spiceburgr.com There are a lot of fancy specialty burgers here, all of them under $10 (unless you really go nuts with the add-ons), but for our money, it’s the traditional burger that sings: an organic grass-fed beef patty on a buttered toasted bun with lettuce, tomato, mayo, pickle, fried onions and cheese – plus a heap of the tastiest fries we’ve had all year.

Stardust Video & Coffee 1842 E. Winter Park Road, 407-623-3393; stardustie.com It’s the “5 Easy Pieces” sandwich we keep coming back for: buffalo mozzarella, sliced tomato and eggplant, roasted red peppers and pesto, pressed till it’s crispy, yours for nine bucks and change.

Whitewood Mediterranean Grill 1 S. Orange Ave., 407-999-8959; whitewoodgrill.com The “traditional gyro” sandwich is just that, at $7.50; but for $1.49 more, get it “Dubai Style” with extra meat, feta and seasoned fries – all rolled up inside a filled-to-bursting pita.

Swine & Sons Handcrafted charcuterie may headline at this Winter Park takeout joint, but executive chef Rhys Gawlak’s unpretentious yet sophisticated Southern fare is the real star.

His butcher sandwiches (love the pimento grilled cheese) and daily “Blue Pig Specials,” like Nashville hot chicken and coffee-grilled spare ribs, keep the small parking lot perpetually full. Desserts by noted pastry chef Alexia Gawlak guarantee endings are nothing but sweet. Don’t leave without perusing the retail provisions. 595 W. Fairbanks Ave., Winter Park, 407-636-7601; $$

Pharmacy Pharmacy brings the speakeasy trend to Dr. Phillips, placing an emphasis on creativity in the kitchen, as well as behind the bar. Start with one of their many “elixirs” – stiff, handcrafted potions – before diving into such shareable options as roasted bone marrow with oxtail and ghost chili strawberry preserves or fried green tomato nuggets served over creamy corn curry. Mains vary by season, but what we ate – Swiss chard with sausage and pasta sleeves, and sea bass with a tableside pour of lemony Parmigiano broth – was superb. Dinner only. 8060 Via Dellagio Way, 407-985-2972; $$$$

The Boheme Restaurant Resplendent resto in the Grand Bohemian Hotel puts the “art” back in culinary arts, both in restaurant design and chef Laurent Hollaender’s creations. Escargots de Bourgogne play up Hollaender’s French heritage, but crispy fried smelt is the superlative starter. Current seasonal mains (roasted lamb loin; Maple Leaf Farms duck breast served with starfruit, spring forest mushrooms, Swiss chard and roasted marble potatoes) impress. To end, choose Momofuku-like crack pie, no doubt. 325 S. Orange Ave., 407-581-4700; $$$$

Capa Sexy rooftop resto at the Four Seasons shows off its style with Basque- and Spanish-inspired specialties and USDA Prime steaks. It’s hard to go wrong with any dish, but you’ll go right with a plate of acorn-fed Iberico ham and hamachi crudo to start. Succulent roast duck with braised CONTINUED ON PaGe 24

salsify, Florida peaches and pickled mustard seed is also a must. If beef is your craving, the bone-in filet is sublime, even if it sets you back $69. Desserts are all Instagramworthy. 10100 Dream Tree Blvd., Lake Buena Vista, 407-313-7777; $$$$

Francesco’s Ristorante & Pizzeria Sicilian specialties star at this Maitland ristorante, with wood-fired brick-oven pizzas stealing the show. Pastas, like the beautifully plated penne Palermitana, are worth seeking out, but be wary of mealy veal Siciliano and flavorless calamari steak.

Pho Curry Ford Modest joint on Curry Ford Road serves dependable pho and other Vietnamese staples. While we weren’t blown away by the bún vermicelli bowl with bland grilled pork and shrimp, the hearty beef stew banh mi served with doughy French bread and an aromatic pho tai were both stellar. A decent list of vegetarian items are offered, including fat tofu-filled spring rolls and taro-stuffed egg rolls; no desserts are offered. Open daily.

Boca Tampa-based boîte is the latest to make a go of this jinx spot. Wonderfully crisp fried green tomatoes with pimento, tomato jam and house bacon are an impressive starter, as is the farmhouse salad with greens grown right on the walls in the resto’s “vertical garden.” Pan-seared wahoo over celery puree is a hit; don’t pass up fish specials – or dessert – here. 358 N. Park Ave., Winter Park, 407-636-7022; $$$

Rome’s Flavours Roman husband and wife bring a small slice of the Eternal City to Winter Park with simple, rustic, full-flavored dishes. Rustic “paddle pizzas” served on floured cutting boards are just as delectable as the hearty potato soup and flank steak served over arugula. The focused menu also features a variety of salumi and al dente pastas.

Whatever you do, sample their gelatos, preferably in the form of an affogato. 124 E. Morse Blvd., Winter Park, 407-951-8039; $$

Another Broken Egg Another Broken Egg’s menu is rooted in Cajun and Creole cookery, which means flavor, flavor and more flavor. Don’t miss the fried green tomato app or the perfectly melty lobster-and-Brie omelet. What the biscuit beignets lack in lightness, they make up for with buttery richness. A full bar slings Bloody Marys and Kahlúa-spiked coffees, and the dark roast is served in earthenware crocks; this place has charm down to a science. 430 N.

OPENING IN orlando SAn AnDreAS

Grace and Frankie dipS gracefully and frankly into uncharted territory

By B i l ly M aneS

By St ev e Sc hn ei d er

Opening this week Aloha A full 14 years have gone by since The New Yorker’s David Denby declared that Cameron Crowe needed to reconsider his very reasons for making movies.

The implication was that, after Vanilla Sky, the rest of us had run out of reasons for wanting to see them. But Crowe has continued to release flicks since then – maybe not quite as frequently as he used to, but still with a solid, once-every-half-decade regularity that corresponds roughly to the timetable of my Dad’s kidney-stone flareups. And Crowe can still get A-list actors to work with him for some reason, which is why his latest, Aloha, puts Bradley Cooper on the romantic radar of Emma Stone. Cooper plays a defense contractor (hey, is he succeeding Tom Hanks as movies’ most gung-ho G.I. Joe action figure?) who is working on the launch of an important weapons satellite. In the process, he falls for Stone’s character, an Air Force pilot. Will they cement their attraction the Crowe way, by exchanging mix tapes? Probably not; that’s so early aughts. Fun fact: In preparation for her role, Stone learned to fly a military plane, which means there’s at least one thing she can do that George W. Bush can’t. (PG-13) San Andreas The trick of programming a summer-movie slate is figuring out which spectacles the vast majority of the American public would most like to see. You know, like the state of California crumbling into the ocean. That’s what happens in San Andreas, as a mighty earthquake lays waste to our nation’s major exporter of table wines and nude selfies. Helicopter pilot Dwayne Johnson watches in horror as Los Angeles takes the hit, then realizes immediately what he’s duty-bound to do: Fly up to San Fran to rescue the daughter who wants nothing to do with him.

See, it’s a subtle metaphor for the terrors parents face when they let their kids run off to communities so warped by sexual libertinism that they’d make Sean Penn their elected representative. (Just what we’ve been pining for since the 1970s: a movie that’s a cross between Earthquake and Cruising.) Oh, and ex-wife Carla Gugino is along for the ride too, which means we’re guaranteed lots of healthy mutual recrimination as stuff goes crunch. Director Brad Peyton cut his blockbuster teeth on the sequels to Cats and Dogs and Journey to the Center of the Earth, making San Andreas his acid test for launching an original franchise. (It helps if you construe “original” as “new to people who have never made it to the back of Universal Studios.”) (PG-13)

Ever since the marijuana-laced imaginary scenarios that captivated middle-class working women in 9 to 5, the world has been – OK, this writer has been – anxiously anticipating a repeat of the interplay between Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda (collating is hard!). With Grace and Frankie, an intended binge-watch of the Netflix variety, we get all that and more. It’s as if neither of the power duo has faded, none of the chemistry has been lost. Skinny and sweet!

The plot, which can seem sometimes clumsy, mostly because there’s a Martin Sheen in it, centers around the titular women as they traverse the legal, marital and emotional awkwardness of what turns out to be something more than a “legal partnership” between their husbands (Sam Waterston is especially charming in his humility here). The two men, Waterston and Sheen, who have run a law agency together for years, confess that they are indeed in love, which, naturally, dissolves the long-running notions of aging stability for Fonda and Tomlin (or Grace and Frankie, if you will).

In 13 episodes, the show draws out the best of each of the characters in ways that might seem culturally nostalgic – because everyone loves a Lily Tomlin breakdown in ’70s hippie garb or a Jane Fonda rant about deserving nice things – but are actually rooted in the present. Ethan Embry, who stole the show in Can’t Hardly Wait, is especially effervescent in his role as Tomlin’s drug-addicted son, Coyote.

But the real victory in Grace and Frankie, beyond the obvious naming references to the character traits of Fonda and Tomlin, is that, given this modern context, women of a certain age – and we mean that in the kindest of ways – do still have stories to tell, and, when those women are as legendary as these two, those stories are vulnerable, exciting, anxious and enlightening in equal parts. Worth the time, worth the couch. bmanes@orlandoweekly.com

Days of future past Disney uses yesterday to create tomorrow By c a Me r o n M e i e r

Tomorrowland

HHHHH

T

he portal to the future lies in the past, at least if you’re Disney. Mining the ghosts of such luminaries as Jules Verne, Nikola Tesla and, yes, Walt Disney, the creators of Tomorrowland have created a grandly magical, if scatterbrained, vision of our future that’s neither a time nor a place, but an idea.

George Clooney is Frank Walker, an inventor who, simply put, has a stake in saving the world. We first get to know him when he, as a boy, visits the 1964 New York World’s Fair. Given a magic pin by a mysterious little girl, he soon finds his way onto the original “It’s a Small World” ride, which is actually a gateway to another dimension.

(And coming from someone who worked the attraction at Walt Disney World, I admit I had my suspicions all along.)

orlandoweekly.com

Fast-forward to the present and we meet Frank’s intellectual counterpart, Casey Newton (a bright-eyed Britt Robertson), a sort of Amy Pond to Clooney’s crotchety Doctor Who, with a dash of Spielberg. By virtue of her heart more than her intellect, she may be even better equipped to rescue civilization than Frank. (After all, as Albert Einstein said and this film champions, “Imagination is more important than knowledge.”) But to divulge more would be to give away the surprises, which come fast, furious and just a tad illogically in this aesthetic and philosophical explosion, some of which was filmed in Central Florida with local extras and crew.

For all its joyful excess, Tomorrowland is best when it’s cerebral, as it can coast only so far on its CGI, which, though spectacular, embraces an adventurous freneticism that slightly undermines its intelligence. Yes, the special effects make for a fun roller-coaster ride for kids and teens – and spotting all the cinematic Easter eggs is fun – but without strong characters and a raison d’être, the

effects are simply eye candy. (Didn’t we learn that earlier this year with Avengers: Age of Ultron?)

The cartoon style shouldn’t surprise anyone, though, considering the movie was directed and co-written by Brad Bird of Disney/Pixar fame. He brings an animated sensibility to the project that gives it energy and beauty but compromises much of the pacing, dialogue and acting, which could be smarter. Still, Clooney, Robertson and Hugh Laurie are strong, and the screenplay is a delicious mindbender with some profound things to say about the dark, pro-apocalyptic nature of humanity. And although, much like his characters, Bird’s reach occasionally exceeds his grasp, he’s managed to create something special, a sort of secular DaVinci Code, with just a dash of National Treasure silliness.

Moving to its messy but emotionally satisfying conclusion, Tomorrowland has the bravery to become a message picture, which some might find heavy-handed.

Nevertheless, I found the Capraesque quality intriguing. I just wish the film had a bit less Doctor Who and a lot more Tarkovsky.

“Do I have to explain everything?” Frank asks Casey. “Can’t you just be amazed?” Yes, Mr. Clooney, I believe I can. feedback@orlandoweekly.com

MUSIC

AdAm And the PlAstic ∙ Blue BAmBoo music center ∙ rock Art show & sAle

From the opening of adam and the Plastic’s Foxholes, the Weezer/“Sweater Song”-like clamor of chatter on “The Party” gives you an immediate sense that mood is everything to these local dudes.

As the song thumps on, listeners aren’t pushed into some snotty chorus that pretends some basic-bitch revelation.

Instead the song builds and builds, like the band’s fueling the urge to really let loose. Unsurprisingly, that’s what they end up doing over the next eight tracks with eccentric rock deftness (particularly on the addictive next track, “Runner”).

Rumor had it that Adam and the Plastic had a ton of unrecorded new material, and we were too impatient to wait, so we invited the band to North Avenue Studios

30

to record two live tracks, “Your Love” and “Destroyer.” Watch both videos and read a full profile on Adam and the Plastic at orlandoweekly.com.

Iconic animator ron Campbell brings his Beatles cartoon art to a special exhibit at Artegon, the 105.9 SUNNY FM Rock Art Show & Sale, a free event that is open to the public from Friday, June 5, until Sunday, June 7. Campbell will be creating art live, as well as selling original pieces alongside what the press release describes as “a unique collection of original art, lithographs, photographs, concert posters, gold records, album art and more from the greatest rock artists of all time.”

The bands represented include legends

like the Doors, the Grateful Dead, Pink Floyd, Bob Dylan and many more, including a special section of Rolling Stones stuff to get fans even more revved up about the upcoming show at the Citrus Bowl on June 12. This exhibit is being touted as the biggest collection of its kind, so if you geek out over signed gold records or rare concert posters, you won’t want to miss this brief three-day show (and sale, if you’ve got the $$).

If you’re a fan of jazz, classical, blues, world or innovative compositions that straddle these worlds, Blue Bamboo Music (a contemporary jazz label that’s currently based out of Central Florida) has some exciting news. They’re planning

to convert a 4,000-square-foot warehouse in Winter Park (on the Fairbanks/I-4 side) into an ambitious new performing arts venue that seeks to echo Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts in sound quality but to present their guest artists in a much more intimate environment than the glitzy still-shiny-new venue downtown. If you’re curious about the project – which includes plans for a large projection screen, stage lighting, practice spaces where musicians can hold music lessons and give clinics, and much more – go to gofundme.com/bbmartscenter to watch a video, see their mock-ups, donate (they’ve got about $6,000 of $50,000 needed so far) and learn more about the project. abelanger@orlandoweekly.com

“It was very a fun moment.

And Bangkok sounded crazy and exciting.”

Dance it out this week in orlanDo

Pathos, Pathos The rush of Pathos, Pathos comes in bursts that rise out of the polished pop slow builds edified by ranging singer Matt Walsh.

Sometimes it feels like it calls for an indierock waltz, but mostly just for letting loose while the band leads the charge.

The persistence of memory Melt Banana warps found sound for more than two decades of apocalyptic pop

By AShLey BeLANger MelT Banana with the Hamiltons, Spires of the lunar Sphere 7 p.m. Thursday, May 28 | Backbooth, 37 W. Pine St. | 407-999-2570 | backbooth.com | $15

l

isten to Japan’s Melt Banana. That’s probably how the world will sound when it ends. The crash and chaos, the alarmed, screeching vocals, the mysterious sounds of unidentifiable origins – it’s a rush for sonic thrillseekers willing to leap off a cliff and ricochet off jagged edges of hardcore, punk, pop, metal and noise, only to land on their feet running at a full clip toward the horizon. Those eerie recordings that crowd Melt Banana’s

canon (which spans 21 years since their 1994 debut, Speak Squeak Creak) curiously retrace the band’s long history of warping the world around them.

“I often record sounds during tours,” says guitarist Ichirou Agata. “When we toured with Mr. Bungle, my recorder broke and I borrowed a recorder from Mike Patton. He was very nice and I asked him and all other Bungle members to say ‘Melt Banana’ to record their voices. We put those great voice performances in a song called ‘Area 877’ on our album called Charlie [1998]. It was very a fun moment.

And Bangkok sounded crazy and exciting.”

These recordings pleasantly confuse and indulgently amplify the onslaught of

Yako Onuki’s righteous punk vocals, especially live, where her wild stage presence makes the songs most affecting. Although it’s not her native tongue, Onuki writes lyrics in English because she feels it rhythmically pairs best with the music. She treats dictionaries the way Agata treats environments, paging through definitions for found sounds to discover words with intriguing meanings and pronunciations to use as lyrics.

If you take the time to peel back the noisy elements of Melt Banana, you’ll find the lyrics are rich in imagery and just as manic and moody as the clattering atmosphere Agata creates for them. On Fetch’s “Zero+,” Onuki defies obstacles like a “lazy shadow” and “hazy channels” and ends the song powerfully in charge: “Every piece of small lies I pick up/Every piece of cracked facts I throw out/Every piece of land/It’s in twilight/It is my land/It is my real.”

In 2013, Melt Banana released Fetch, the band’s first album as a two-piece (and first release in six years). It didn’t change the duo’s sound or songwriting process, the band says, so much as it challenged them to restage their live act. They’ve been touring as a duo since 2012, relying on synthesizers to back them up instead of a full band. Most recently, they released Return of 13 Hedgehogs (MxBx Singles 2000-2009), a compilation drawn from the back half of their catalog that also includes covers like the Damned’s “Love Song” and Devo’s “Uncontrollable Urge.” “We often listen to Devo, especially during the tour,” Onuki says. “Good for driving.”

There’s also new music in the works, but it’s too soon to set a date for a release. “It is still really an early stage and actually it is the most fun part for me when I write music,” Agata says. “We already have many ideas, but I think we still need more time to build ideas into songs.” abelanger@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

Jim Ivy’s Tangled Bell Ensemble

BY B AO L E - H U U

PHOTO BY ASHLEY BELANGER

The local rule is that if Jim Ivy is

involved, it’s gonna be weird or smart, often both.

For the consistently intriguing music monthly the In-Between Series, he rolled out a rather grand conceptual experiment with the debut of his Tangled Bell Ensemble (May 18, Gallery at Avalon Island). Using the early 20th-century poetry of Japanese author Akiko Yosano as impetus, the idea of the performance – titled “Midaregami (Tangled Hair)” – was to explore orchestrating heterogeneity into concert. To do that, he assembled a cast of 11 members – the biggest to perform the series yet – from an intentionally wide spectrum of musical backgrounds. Many of them looked and sounded like more classical players, but musicians I recognized from my usual beat included members of weirdo acts like Moon Jelly and Happy Valley. The resulting body was a small orchestra expanded with guitar, piano, accordion, voice and modern drum kit.

At its head was Ivy pulling double duty as conductor and player on his trademark sax.

Sonically, the four-act journey was a tapestry of music and word (English and Japanese) that slithered from mystery to beauty to excitingly unchained bedlam at the end of the second act. Though structure and arc formed the program’s narrative, the individual pieces were composed loosely to allow some placed pockets of improvisation, moments that seemed to make Ivy beam with the most joy and that at some points engaged each and every player.

Further testament to the performance’s

The result was adventure, not recital, and it was an experience of unfolding, evolving tension. extemporaneous spirit was the fact that the first time the entire group was in the same room together was about 40 minutes before the show. Though the end was an interesting, fully in-the-moment display, this was a demonstration of the art of process and spontaneity. As such, the result was adventure, not recital, and it was an experience of unfolding, evolving tension.

I’ve already said the In-Between Series is the most purely artistic music series in Orlando right now, but it may also be one of the most fertile. Intentionally or not, it’s become the testing ground for the city’s experimental musicians to spread some new orchestral wings. Only exciting and forward things can come of that.

The BeaT

Can you believe Built to Spill (May 15, the Social) has been on a major label for 18 years? How a band making thoughtful indie rock has survived in that arena in this day is one for the Sphinx. A group that’s made a major career of sustained quality with basic fundamentals and no flash, well, that’s one in the cosmic plus column there.

But the most electrifying act of the night

was Portland’s Wooden Indian Burial Ground. A noisy, swirling fever of garage, psych and surf, they have all the psychosis and density to validate their stripes.

Keeping them from drowning in their own murk is a charged sense of punctuation. Furthermore, they’re not a straight throwback act. Making them interesting is that they mingle early rock & roll’s raw, nervy action with modern underground rock tendencies like sweet, blistering dissonance and discordant guitar angles. It may swing like classic garage rock, but it’s just as likely to stab and scorch in one of its unpredictable fits.

I had zero prior knowledge of Idaho opener Clarke and the Himselfs, but I looked up the solo act and caught a description on his Bandcamp page saying he was a combination of My Bloody Valentine and Hasil Adkins. Never before have I heard of that intersection, not even in my wildest fanboy imagination. This I gotta see.

Turns out, the Hasil Adkins part was a bit of a descriptive overreach. But a oneman texture-rock operation is still something of a marvel. Clarke Howell’s not simply working a stripped aesthetic, he’s a single player going for a full sound.

Between working a practically full drum kit, the kind of gorgeously groaning guitar effects that Pink Mountaintops used to specialize in and a weird trilling vocal effect, you’ve got an impressively lush solo act. Moreover, the actual quality of his songs proves he’s no mere novelty act. baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

Did you know that state Sen. Darren Soto plays in a band called the Orange Creek Riders? He does, and that band will make a special appearance at this event being held to raise money for various environmental causes. In addition to entertainment from Soto and co., there will also be speakers on tortoises, black bears, wildlife corridors in the state and the effort to ban fracking in Florida.

But this event is not just a series of discussions – it’s also a party, and there will be food (vegan options available), drink, a silent auction and plenty of time to take in the natural beauty of Wekiva Island, which sits right on the bank of the Wekiva River.

Admission is just $20 in advance, $25 at the door, and it includes two free drink tickets. Meet fellow defenders of wildlife, raise a glass to the splendor around you and feel good that your entry fee is being used to protect it. – Erin Sullivan

OUR PICKS FOR THE BEST EVENTS THIS WEEK Friday, 29

May is National Short Story Month (did you know that? We didn’t know that), so it’s only fitting that this week’s Wine & Sign author at Bookmark It should be David James Poissant, here to rep his award-winning collection of short stories, The Heaven of Animals.

That book, published last year by Simon & Schuster, has been going gangbusters – tonight Poissant will be fresh off a book tour of France for the French translation, and gearing up for a tour of Italy for the Italian edition forthcoming in October. In the meantime he’s hard at work on his next book for Simon & Schuster, a novel called Class, Order, Family. No pubdate has been announced for that one, anxious as we all are to read it. Maybe you should take the opportunity at this casual evening hangout to prod Poissant, ever so gently, for a day to circle on the calendar. We’re sure he won’t mind. – Jessica Bryce Young

ART We were lucky enough to attend Participation, the annual Maitland Art Center fundraiser dinner, this year and we’re here to report back that unlike some fundraisers, this one is filled with actual art instead of just boring networking and polite cash grabs. Each table is hosted by a local artist, who decorates the table to overflowing with his or her work; and throughout the evening there are live art events – dance, acrobatics, live painting and more. However, if you don’t have the ducats for a ticket, you don’t get to see that art (except in your friends’ Instagram feeds) – that is, until now. The Maitland museum complex has pulled together an assortment of work from the artists who make Participation so special every year and assembled it all in one place for anyone to enjoy. See work by Maxwell Hartley, Nathalie Chikhi, Andrew Spear, Dawn Schreiner and many more. And as always at a Culture Pop party, there will be music, food and drink, and a one-nightonly art installation – this time by Martha Lent. – JBY

But West End Trading Company’s annual Hurricane Party is more like the apple of the hurricane’s eye – with gusts of reggae rocking in from the North in the form of the music festival’s headliners, the Movement and Ballyhoo!, as well as a regional lineup that’s more stocked than a nervous Nelly’s storm shelter, featuring Beebs & Her Money Makers, Thomas Wynn & the Believers, the Legendary JC’s, Whole Wheat Bread and many more spread across five stages.

For more than 40 years, Vivian Maier worked as a nanny, mostly in Chicago.

The families she worked for adored her and said she was great with kids, but also a very private person. When she wasn’t working, she did her own thing. Often, she was out exploring the city with a camera in hand. When Maier grew old, she struggled to make ends meet, and a few years before she died, she found herself unable to pay the rent on a storage space where she kept some belongings. It turned out she had tens of thousands of photo negatives, audio recordings, prints and film in that space, and the work was quickly bought up by collectors at an auction. Art dealers later discovered that Maier spent a significant portion of her life using her camera to document street life in the city, and the quality of her work is astounding. This film, screening as the final event in Snap!

Orlando’s month-long You Are Here art celebration, explores the life of the enigmatic photographer, who took more than 100,000 photos but was virtually unknown until after her death in 2009. – ES

In a town that seems to thrive on juxtaposition, it’ll be a real sight to see Gay Days kick off in the shadow of Bass Pro Shops and Toby Keith’s I Love This Bar & Grill at Artegon Marketplace. But maybe that’s the point. LGBT acceptance is at an all-time high in the wake of recent marriage equality rulings (if you don’t count the bizarre backlash/whiplash of those among the religious right who feel their nuptials threatened by same-sex marriage); we should all just get along – celebrate, even!

The annual red-shirted, Disney-centered Gay Days event turns 25 this year, and has evolved into a tourism behemoth and, therefore, an economic development driver. That explains why, amidst the Miss Gay Days Pageant and various oonce-oonces of DJ decadence and backtracked vocal histrionics, Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer will be on hand (not gay, but gay friendly!) to issue all of the “whereas”-es that he can in a planned proclamation. “Whereas I am not wearing any underwear and I answer to the name ‘Buddy!’” Oh, a girl can dream. – Billy Manes 6:30 p.m.| Artegon Marketplace, 5250 International Drive | 407-351-7718 | gaydays.com | $10-$50

PHOTO VIVIAN MAIER/MALOOF COLLECTION

At the end of April, Fort Lauderdale rapper Hi-Rez posted a video on his YouTube channel (@zipkid99) where he rapped his entire McDonald’s order while at a restaurant in New York City. He basically flows through the whole menu (and a McFlurry, two of those!) while the cashier makes absolutely no attempt to push any buttons to keep up. The video went viral and has more than 4 million views as of this writing, which basically means the rapper can amass fans faster than the world’s biggest fast food chain can accommodate his order. But he’s more than his Big Mac reputation – the young rapper’s lyrics are heartfelt and contemplative and his mixtapes always seem to balance out the pounding party starters with rugged sluggish tracks that require more digestion. – AB MUSIC

The Psychedelic Furs MUSIC If there were a secret decoder ring – a sort of Behind the Music ’80s band lexicon translator – then it might be worth traveling through the revolving doors and mirror moves of the Psychedelic Furs’ nearly four decades of sometimes-whispered-sometimes-screamed melodic attacks on “The Ghost in You.” But edgy archaeology of ego and music and context are long-form exercises and pop music is not, really. Richard Butler, with brother Tim in tow (along with some other regulars), still serve up “All That Money Wants” and little slices of “Heaven” for their forever fanbase, as witnessed at last year’s glitterball of emotional angst and arm thrusts at the Plaza Live. This time, the Furs are jumping headfirst into the nostalgia punch bowl of the Hard Rock Hotel’s Velvet Sessions (free drinks!), which means you’ll hear all the hits – maybe even “Pretty in Pink,” if Richard Butler has shaken his Ringwald-Hughes grudge about the 1981 hit’s 1986 smudged teenage repurposing. Certainly, “President Gas” will be there, though, for your “Heartbreak Beat” to play all night long. It feels like love. – Billy Manes

surf. Take inspiration from him, Virgo. Now would be an excellent time for you to plan and launch strenuous efforts that will enable you to eventually accomplish one of your long-range goals.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Keith Moon played drums for the rock band the Who. He was once voted the second-greatest drummer in history. But his erratic behavior, often provoked by drugs or alcohol, sometimes interfered with his abilities. In 1973, the Who was doing a live concert near San Francisco when the horse tranquilizer that Moon had taken earlier caused him to pass out.

The band appealed to the audience for help. “Can anybody play the drums?” asked guitarist Pete Townshend. “I mean somebody good?”

A 19-year-old amateur drummer named Scot Halpin volunteered. He played well enough to finish the show. I suspect that sometime soon, Aries, you may also get an unexpected opportunity to play the role of a substitute. Be ready!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) The weta is a very large insect whose habitat is New Zealand. It looks like a robotic grasshopper, with giant black eyes on a long red face, enlarged hind legs bearing spikes and floppy, oversized antennae. The native Maori people call it “the god of the ugly things.” Please note that this is a term of respect. The weta’s title is not “the most monstrous of the ugly things,” or “the worst” or “the scariest” or “the most worthless of the ugly things.” Rather, the Maori say it’s the god – the highest, the best, the most glorious. I suspect that in the coming days, Taurus, you will have a close encounter with your own version of a “god of ugly things.” Doesn’t it deserve your love and welcome?

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You have successfully made the transition from brooding caterpillar to social butterfly. Soon you will be in your full, fluttery glory, never lingering too long with one thought, one friend or one identity. Some heavy-duty, level-headed stalwarts might wish you would be more earthy and anchored, but I don’t share their concern. At least for now, having a long attention span is overrated. You have entered the fidgety, inquisitive part of your cycle, when flitting and flirting and flickering make perfect sense.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Only one fear is worthy of you.

Only one fear is real enough and important enough to awaken and activate the numb part of your intelligence. So for now, I suggest that you retire all lesser fears. Stuff them in a garbage bag and hide them in a closet. Then put on your brave champion face, gather the allies and resources you need, and go forth into glorious battle.

Wrestle with your one fear. Reason with it. If necessary, use guile and trickery to gain an advantage. Call on divine inspiration and be a wickedly good truth-teller. And this is crucial: Use your fear to awaken and activate the numb part of your intelligence.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) In the coming nights, try to see your shadow as it’s cast on the ground by the moon. Not by the sun, mind you. Look for the shadow that’s made by the light of the moon.

It might sound farfetched, but I suspect this experience will have a potent impact on your subconscious mind. It may jostle loose secrets that you have been hiding from yourself. I bet it will give you access to emotions and intuitions you have been repressing. It could also help you realize that some of the deep, dark stuff you wrestle with is not bad and scary, but rather fertile and fascinating.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) The ancient Greek statesman Demosthenes was regarded as a supremely skilled orator. His speeches were so powerful that he was compared to a “blazing thunderbolt.” And yet as a youngster he spoke awkwardly. His voice was weak and his enunciation weird. To transform himself, he took drastic measures. He put pebbles in his mouth to force himself to formulate his words with great care. He recited poems as he ran up and down hills. At the beach, he learned to outshout the pounding

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Long-distance flirtations may soon be just around the corner or across the street. Remote possibilities are taking short cuts as they head your way. I swear the far horizon and the lucky stars seem closer than usual. Is it all a mirage? Some of it may be, but at least a part of it is very real. If you want to be ready to seize the surprising opportunities that show up in your vicinity, I suggest you make yourself as innocent and expansive as possible. Drop any jaded attitudes you may be harboring. Let the future know that you are prepared to receive a flood of beauty, truth and help.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) I suspect that marriages of convenience will begin to wither away unless they evolve into bonds of affection. Connections that have been fed primarily on fun and games must acquire more ballast. In fact, I recommend that you re-evaluate all your contracts and agreements. How are they working for you? Do they still serve the purpose you want them to? Is it time to acknowledge that they have transformed and need to be reconfigured? As you take inventory, be both tough-minded and compassionate.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Petrarch was an influential 14th-century Italian poet whose main work was Song Book. It’s a collection of 366 poems, most of which are dedicated to Laura, the woman he loved. For 40 years he churned out testaments of longing and appreciation for her, despite the fact that he and she never spent time together. She was married to another man and was wrapped up in raising her 11 children.

Should we judge Petrarch harshly for choosing a muse who was so unavailable? I don’t. Muse-choosing is a mysterious and sacred process that transcends logic. I’m bringing the subject to your attention because you’re entering a new phase in your relationship with muses. It’s either time to choose a new one or else adjust your bonds with your current muses.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) “The soul moves in circles,” said the ancient Greek philosopher Plotinus. Modern psychologist James Hillman agreed, and added this thought: “Hence our lives are not moving straight ahead; instead, hovering, wavering, returning, renewing, repeating.” I bring this to your attention, Capricorn, because you’re now in an extra-intense phase of winding and rambling. This is a good thing! You are spiraling back to get another look at interesting teachings you didn’t master the first time around. You are building on past efforts that weren’t strong enough. Your words of power are crooked, gyrate, curvy, labyrinthine and corkscrew.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) It’s no coincidence that your libido and your mojo are booming at the same time. Your libido is in the midst of a deep, hearty awakening, which is generating a surplus of potent, super-fine mojo. And your surplus of potent, super-fine mojo is in turn inciting your libido’s even deeper, heartier awakening. There may be times in the coming week when you feel like you are living with a wild animal. As long as you keep the creature well-fed and well-stroked, it should provide you with lots of vigorous, even boisterous fun.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) “I always arrive late at the office, but I make up for it by leaving early,” quipped 19th-century English author Charles Lamb. I invite you to adopt that breezy, lazy attitude in the coming weeks. It’s high time for you to slip into a very comfortable, laidback mood … to give yourself a lot of slack, explore the mysteries of dreamy indolence and quiet down the chirpy voices in your head. Even if you can’t literally call in sick to your job and spend a few days wandering free, do everything you can to claim as much low-pressure, unhurried spaciousness as possible.

olaf is an adorable 5-month-old kitten who was recently surrendered to the shelter because a family member was allergic to him. He is a friendly cat who loves to be petted. He also really enjoys walking around and exploring. Cat adoption fees are currently $40 at Orange County Animal Services, but the shelter is running a BOGO promotion for cats all year long, so anyone can adopt Olaf and another kitty for the price of one. The shelter will also be hosting a Hot Dogs Cool Cats adopt-athon on May 30, where all pet adoption fees will be reduced to $15. You can visit the animals for adoption at orange County animal Services at 2769 Conroy Road, 407-396-3111, ocnetpets.com.

B Y D A N S AVA G E You often mention asexual people. I believe I may be one. I’m a 51-year-old woman. I’ve been separated from my opposite-sex partner for nearly nine years. I’ve been approached by a variety of men, each one interested in becoming “more than friends.” I haunt Craigslist’s “platonic m4w” section, but each time I reach out to someone, he turns out to want a FWB or NSA relationship. It’s frustrating! That part of my life – the sex part – is really and truly over! I had many sex partners for many years, I had a good run, and now I’m done.

When I find someone attractive, I admire them in a nonsexual way. But I do masturbate. Not often.

I can go two or three weeks without needing (or thinking about) release. When I do masturbate, it’s more of a “stretching activity” than a passionate requirement. Do true asexuals masturbate? Am I correct in identifying as asexual instead of heterosexual? Or am I a straight person who has simply retired from the field?

No Need For Sex

“There’s some handy-dandy research on this topic,” said David Jay, founder of the Asexual Visibility and Education Network (AVEN). Jay is the world’s most prominent asexuality activist and widely acknowledged as the founder of the asexuality movement.

Researchers at the University of British Columbia studied the masturbatory habits of asexual individuals and compared them to the masturbatory habits of people with low sexual desire (“Sexual Fantasy and Masturbation Among Asexual Individuals,” Morag A. Yule, Lori A. Brotto, and Boris B. Gorzalka, the Canadian Journal of Human Sexuality). “[They found that] the majority of asexual people (about 56 percent) masturbate on at least a monthly basis,” said Jay, compared to 75 percent of individuals with low sexual desire.

“For a sizable chunk of us, this is about a sense of physical release rather than about sexual fantasy.

Masturbation and partnered sex are very different things, and desiring one doesn’t mean that we automatically desire the other.”

So, NNFS, the fact that you masturbate occasionally – as a “stretching activity” (ouch?)

– doesn’t disqualify you from identifying as asexual. And while the fact that you were sexually active for many years, presumably happily, and always with men could mean you’re a straight lady with low to no sexual desire, you’re nevertheless free to embrace the asexual label if it works for you.

“If you’re not drawn to be sexual with anyone, then you have a lot in common with a lot of people in the asexual community,” said Jay. “That being said, there’s no such thing as a ‘true’ asexual. If the word seems useful, use it. At the end of the day, what matters is how well we understand ourselves, not how well we match some Platonic ideal of our sexual orientation, and words like ‘asexual’ are just tools to help us understand ourselves.”

Follow AVEN on Twitter at @asexuality. Jay recommends The Invisible Orientation by Julie Decker to people who want to learn more about asexuality. And Asexual Outreach is currently raising funds via Indiegogo to help finance the first North American Asexuality Conference in Toronto this June and other outreach programs: indiegogo. com/projects/asexual-outreach.

There’s this guy I stopped dating a few months ago. When we were still dating, he once wore a thong when we were having sex. He called it his “sexy underwear.” He said he wore it only if he really liked a woman. He also told me he tried using a vibrator and fingers in his ass and really enjoyed it. I wasn’t bothered, but I am curious to know if straight guys really wear thongs and enjoy having their asses played with. Could he be a gay?

What’s He Attracted To?

That guy could be a gay, WHAT, but any guy could be a gay. There are lots of straight guys out there who dig sexy underwear – and some mistakenly believe thongs qualify. There are also lots of straight guys out there who like having their asses played with – and some are secure enough in their heterosexuality to share that fact with the women in their lives. And I hope you’re sitting down because this may come as a shock: Not all gay guys wear thongs and not all gay guys like having their asses played with. The boyfriends of these guys never write to ask me if their boyfriend could be a straight. Instead, they take the gay sex they’re having with their gay boyfriends for an answer. I understand why a straight woman might have more cause for concern: Very few gay-identified guys are secretly straight, while a significant percentage of straight-identified guys are secretly gay or bi.

But at some point, WHAT, a straight woman should relax and take all the straight sex she’s having with her thong-wearing, ass-play-digging boyfriend for an answer.

Just because a woman closes her eyes during sex doesn’t mean she’s fantasizing about something. I love to look my husband in the eyes, but sometimes when I’m trying to get off, I just need to close my eyes and concentrate on what I’m feeling.

Visual input is too distracting and makes it hard to focus. I get off pretty much every time we make love, but some times require more concentration than others.

Concentrating On My Euphoria

COME is referring to my advice a couple of weeks back for Come As You Are, a man whose wife had to lean back, close her eyes and rub her clit in order to come. I advised CAYA to ask his wife what she was thinking about when she did that – what scenario she was fantasizing about – and not to panic if she wasn’t thinking about him.

Lots of women wrote in to say that they do the same thing CAYA’s wife does in order to come: close their eyes and concentrate. A majority said they’re not fantasizing about anything in particular, but a large minority said that they have fantasies that they concentrate on in order to climax.

Allowing a partner to play an active role in your wild/unrealizable fantasies – through dirty talk – will make your partner feel like a part of your fantasy world (and your orgasms) and not an exile from it.
