The problem is the major parties recently created a primary and registration law that prevents small parties from controlling who is a candidate or member. The Libertarians and Greens have been inundated with joke candidates and destructive members they have to fight off – several of whom openly admit they’re GOP or Neo-Nazi operatives. The older parties are now pushing “Top Two,” which will have the effect of making minor party candidates invisible, as has happened in California.

Mayor Buddy Dyer, City Commissioner Patty Sheehan and Soil and Water Conservation Supervisor 4 Eric Rollings

City makes plans to save Constitution Green

long attempted to get the city to pay more attention to parks on the city’s less desirable west side, points out that Lake Lorna Doone Park, which sits in the shadow of the Citrus Bowl, “is about the same size as Lake Eola, but half of it is used as a parking lot.” Nobody, he says, seems to want to save greenspace on the poor side of town.

“Between Colonial Drive and the 407, and OBT and I-4, all of Parramore essentially, the only park you have is Lake Dot, which is tiny,” he says. “We prioritize green spaces for the east side, but we neglect them on the west side. It’s a tale of two cities.”

While Dyer posed for photos with school kids, Sheehan says she’d also heard the complaints, but she says this was a unique opportunity. The city has tried to buy this land in years past but couldn’t afford it. Now that the owners are at the table, the city couldn’t pass up the opportunity to nab the parkland. And, on Friday at least, she wasn’t going to let detractors dampen her spirits about the plan to save Constitution Green.

“Some people are never happy,” she says. “If you paved the streets with gold, they’d complain to you about the color.” – Erin Sullivan

Speak Up Wekiva looking for bear hunt monitors

O

n Thursday, Oct. 1, Circuit Court Judge George Reynolds denied a motion for an injunction to stop the state’s first black bear hunt in more than 20 years.

Environmental groups, including members of Speak Up Wekiva, traveled to Tallahassee on Oct. 1 to testify in an emergency hearing asking the court to prevent the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission from moving forward with black bear season, scheduled to begin on Oct. 24.

●

orlandoweekly.com

Among their reasons for making the request, Speak Up Wekiva says, is that the FWC does not have any way to make sure that people hunting bears have appropriate permits to do so, because it doesn’t plan to have check-in points for hunters entering wildlife management areas. The organization also argues that there is no way for the state to accurately know when its “harvest objective” of 320 bears has been reached – and since 2,000 permits have been issued for the hunt, many environmental activists are concerned that the number of bears killed could quickly overcome the objective.

Speak Up Wekiva sued the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission earlier this year over its controversial decision to allow a one-week bear season to take place in the first place – it’s the first time in decades that Florida has allowed people to hunt black bears, which are considered a threatened species in the state. Speak Up Wekiva’s suit states that in opening up bear season, the FWC is abdicating its constitutionally mandated mission to preserve the state’s natural resources.

The group filed a petition for a temporary injunction against the hunt until the lawsuit could work its way through court,

but Reynolds denied the request, saying the FWC had made a successful scientific basis for the hunt, but that it “could have had some better timing” if it waited to begin the hunt until after an in-progress population study could be completed.

Speak Up Wekiva says it is now asking for members of the public to volunteer to be bear hunt monitors while the hunt is ongoing. Monitors will document the hunt by photographing cars taking dead bears off wildlife-management properties and take down license-plate information for each vehicle carrying dead bears so Speak Up Wekiva can ensure that people killing the bears have hunting permits. The organization also wants volunteers to look for cubs that may have been orphaned during the hunt. The organization plans to have wildlife experts at the ready to get orphaned cubs to rehab.

“While we remain hopeful that this hunt will be stopped,” the organization states in its call for volunteers, “we ask for volunteers to be prepared to minimize the damage done and protect the Florida black bear from the gross negligence of the FWC.” If you’re interested in being a bear hunt monitor, visit speakupwekiva.com. – ES esullivan@orlandoweekly.com

arlier this year, downtown residents were in an uproar when they learned that plans were afoot to develop a piece of property that’s served as a city park since the 1980s. The family that owns the property at the corner of Summerlin Avenue and South Street known as Constitution Green – which is home to a few massive old oak trees, one of which is estimated to be about 175 years old – was considering developing it for apartments. The city said it had attempted to purchase the property from the owners, but an acceptable price could not be reached. Petitions were signed, rallies were held and for months, it seemed like nothing happened.

Then on Friday, Oct. 2, the city suddenly announced that it had reached a tentative plan to rescue the park – and its giant trees – from the wrecking ball. The city would pay the family that owns the park $3.34 million in cash, which would come from the Community Redevelopment Agency funding and turn over a half-acre parcel located just south of downtown (and valued at about $2.5 million) to make up the difference. The deal still must be confirmed by the City Council later this year.

The tone of the press conference announcing the deal was upbeat – City Councilwoman Patty Sheehan, Mayor Buddy Dyer and Soil and Water Conservation Supervisor 4 Eric Rollings gathered under the old oaks and mugged for the cameras.

“It’s a great opportunity for the city” to preserve one full block of green space in a densely developed downtown corridor, for less than market value, Sheehan points out. But that doesn’t mean that everybody was thrilled by the news.

#TravelingWhileTrans One woman’s ordeal at the Orlando airport with TSA officials went viral online and started an online conversation about what it means to travel while transgender

BY MON IVETTE COR D EI R O

A

fter enjoying the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal late last month, Shadi Petosky was traveling back home when Transportation Security Administration officers at the Orlando International Airport detained her for an “anomaly” in her body scan.

If you’ve been to a commercial airport post-9/11, you’ve probably passed through a full-body scanner like the one that Petosky had to walk through. Critics have objected to their use, citing privacy concerns because they allow TSA agents to look at images of passengers’ bodies through their clothing; others say the scanners are critical to national security. But for people who are transgender or gender-nonconforming, something as simple as passing through the scanner can have humiliating consequences.

Petosky, who is a transgender woman and a writer, began tweeting her experience after she stepped into the machine, where officers select a pink or blue button to scan travelers based on the gender the officer perceives them to be. People whose bodies don’t conform to their per-

ceived gender can be subject to additional screenings and pat-downs.

On Twitter, Petosky says after the scanner picked up an “anomaly,” she told the officer she was transgender, but an agent told her to “get back in the scanning machine as a man or it was going to be a problem.” Petosky was put in a small room and patted down as police officers and an explosives specialist were called in. Petosky says she left the ordeal sobbing, and she missed her American Airlines flight. A spokesperson for the airline said she was immediately rebooked for the next available flight at no charge, but Petosky says after asking American Airlines employees for a boarding pass, employees told an Orlando police officer to escort her from the airport. The officer refused and told the employees to give her a ticket.

“I don’t think my body is an anomaly,” she wrote in a viral tweet. “I like tons of people with my body. Can there be more buttons?”

Mark Howell, a spokesman for the TSA, says the agency released a statement about

with disgust and asked, “What are you?”

It got so bad, Casey says he chose to drive 10 hours back to his home for the holidays instead of getting on a plane because it was less stressful.

“At this point I get through more easily because I have transitioned,” he says. “The reason the awful interactions have gone down have a lot to do with the privilege of having health care and the access to financial resources for surgery.”

Another important aspect of why Casey’s incidents with the TSA have stopped is because his documents now match his gender identity. Changing your name and other documents can be cost-prohibitive, and some state and federal agencies require people to get a court order or surgery, which some transgender people may not want to have.

“I think it’s important to connect this particular issue to broader structural systems of violence trans people, especially trans women and trans women of color, face daily,” he says. “This is a particularly public example of the surveillance scrutiny trans people face, but it’s part of a much larger experience.”

Gina Duncan, who is the transgender inclusion director for Equality Florida Action, says she reached out to Petosky after the incident and has spoken with TSA officials about reviewing their guidelines. As more people start expressing themselves as gender-neutral or gendernonconforming, this same situation could become exacerbated, she says.

“I think we’re seeing that while the TSA can say they follow guidelines, the tone and enforcement of those guidelines has been heavy-handed, and overzealous people have been involved,” Duncan says.

“People should not have to fear flying or go through this demeaning process.

Shadi’s story has shined a light on this situation.”

For many Orlando police officers, LGBT liaison Lt. James Young is the first person who introduces them to terms such as “gender expression” or “transgender.” He says his diversity training teaches officers how to interact with LGBT people in a way that respects their privacy and puts them at ease. Young says he and Duncan are organizing a training seminar at Valencia College to make sure local public safety officers are educated on the issues.

“We cover all the basics to ensure we’re following our philosophy of treating everyone with respect and dignity,” he says. “As society changes, our job as police officers is to keep up with those changes.”

the incident.

“Our officers are trained to properly screen members of the transgender community,” the statement says. “TSA takes all potential civil rights violations very seriously and conducted a review of the incident. After examining closed circuit TV video and other available information, TSA has determined that the evidence shows our officers followed TSA’s strict guidelines. Supervisory personnel and a Passenger Support Specialist participated in the screening to ensure guidelines were met.”

Howell also included information about how officers are trained to screen transgender passengers.

“Transgender persons will be screened as he or she presents themselves at the security checkpoint,” according to the guidelines. “The advanced imaging technology used to screen passengers has software that looks at the anatomy of men and women differently. … You may request a private screening or to speak with a supervisor at any time.”

Petosky’s incident with TSA officials was picked up by multiple media outlets and sparked a conversation online called #TravelingWhileTrans. Many transgender and gender-nonconforming people shared that they had also felt violated and embarrassed through the TSA screening process, and often, it invalidated their identity in front of strangers. The sentiment isn’t unusual – 17 percent of transgender people report facing harassment from airport staff and TSA officials, and 11 percent reported they were denied equal treatment, according to the National Transgender Discrimination Survey.

Logan Casey was waiting for his flight at the airport when he saw Petosky’s situation on social media. Casey, who is a transgender man and a political science doctoral candidate at the University of Michigan, suddenly felt on edge about his surroundings and shared his experiences online.

Casey says before his physical transition a few years ago, he would still wear a binding undershirt that would show up on the scanner as additional material. Agents gave him an enhanced pat down, but didn’t understand when he explained why he wore it. As part of their gender presentation, some trans men will wear prosthetic penises, which are vital for them, but set off scanners.

In one instance, Casey’s bag was flagged, and he was forced to explain to agents why he was carrying hormone medication. Another time after Casey opted out of a body scan and was being patted down by a male guard, the guard looked at him orlandoweekly.com

What are you most proud of, when it comes to Orlando’s LGBT community?

There’s a good sense of community, strong community here. There’s also a lot of support groups, if you are looking, and just a very supportive atmosphere for the LGBT community.

Now that marriage has been legalized for gay couples, what’s the next battle the gay community needs to tackle?

Well, maybe I’m a little bit biased because I’m trans, but definitely a lot of medicalrelated things. I can’t get insurance, a job or anything to help fund my transition. Just things like that. I’m not really treated like a human most of the time when people know that I’m trans – so overall, we need more education.

public accommodations or housing in our state simply for being lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender. We can end that by electing pro-equality state leaders who are ready to move Florida forward.

The recent rash of violence and murder of transgender persons, particularly trans women of color, is an epidemic that must also be addressed by our community and our elected leaders. Education and inclusion are key to helping people understand that trans lives matter.

the LGBT community in Orlando is the immediate access people have to services, through places like the Center and the Zebra Coalition. You can get assistance you need, if you need it. And because there’s so many people in the area, and so many schools, it’s easy to feel like you have a community here, and feel like you belong.

kaleb Alexander

Now that marriage has been legalized for gay couples, what’s the next battle the LGBT community needs to tackle?

I think my main struggle is with healthcare, making that more inclusive and overall better. Because sometimes it’s just really difficult to maintain, to get insurance to cover your medical necessities. For some reason, you have to keep saying you are genetically female to get some things covered. And having more open-minded doctors – it’s a very small market. In Orlando, there are, like, three doctors who can work with me, and none of them is …. None of them have ever even instructed me on how to inject myself.

legitimate nonprofit. Our ability to rally and effect change is something that a lot of us forget about.

Now that marriage has been legalized for gay couples, what’s the next battle the LGBT community needs to tackle?

I get worried when I hear the word “battle,” because I think that treating the movement in that way generally causes our pleated-pants opposition to rally together and knee-jerk-react back in our gay faces.

But I think our next big cause du jour should be gender issues. Marriage, trans-rights, equal pay ... it’s all about those archaic gender roles that have forced people into thinking us vs. them. I think all of us queers have to just keep shaking those cis bushes until we get all the fruit out in the open.

ized for gay couples, what’s the next battle the gay community needs to tackle?

I think it’s very apparent that the transgender community needs to catch up next and is on its way, hopefully, to move at a swifter pace than everything else has. With the way things have been lined up with gay marriage being accepted and the gay community becoming one of service, I think transgender is definitely on the radar and is the next “normal.” I would definitely like to see transgender individuals accepted and have a place of comfort in the community.

What are you most proud of when it comes to Orlando’s LGBT community?

That our community includes people like Gina Duncan, who helped make “gender identity” a protected category under the city’s human rights ordinances. I’m very proud that Orlando added that, but at the same it didn’t prevent trans men from being discriminated against and roughed up at Wally’s, nor did it prevent a trans woman from being detained by the TSA because they considered her body to have “an anomaly.”

I’m like “Oh no, it’s my fault!” But the next big battle? I don’t know. I guess I’ll say less discrimination. Because even though gay marriage is legal and everything, it’s still not equality, because you can’t – like if two dudes are walking down the street holding hands, it’s still socially weird. Most people are going to look at you weird, or they’re going to say something. So I think just general acceptance. I don’t think that’s a legal thing, I think that’s a people thing.

Billy Manes, editor, Watermark What are you most proud of, when it comes to Orlando’s LGBT community?

I think that there was a sudden growth in our LGBT community that nobody really expected, and that goes for all of Florida.

The fact that Florida was the first Southern state to pass marriage equality was very important, and the fact that there is a sort of a quilt of support organizations in this state and in this community that take care of LGBT-centric issues, is pretty inspiring.

And that we haven’t given up the fight yet

just because we got marriage.

Now that marriage has been legalized for gay couples, what’s the next battle the gay community needs to tackle?

There are several fronts right now. I think the most important, at least to me, are workplace fairness and housing fairness and general bills that are in the pipeline that are trying to reduce discrimination on any level. It’s exciting to know that we were able to get the pomp and circumstance, but it’s the circumstance that really matters right now, and the fact that you can be fired from your job for being gay. Or be refused anything for being gay. Even looking gay. It’s disheartening. So I think that the fact that there are people who are fighting on that level is amazing. Those are the people that I am supporting right now. Also, the elephant in the room, then, is the trans issue, and so much of that has been spoken of, you know, in the wake of the Caitlyn Jenner outing, if you will. But there’s a lot of codification that has to happen on these issues for people who are in need of living their authentic lives, and I hope to see us move forward.

And I hope to be part of it. feedback@orlandoweekly.com

University of Central Florida’s programs for LGBTQ+ students are something to be proud of

underrepresented students.”

Programming sponsored by the SJA includes: the Lavender Celebration, an annual graduation ceremony for LGBTQ+ students; the Lavender Lunch, a backto-school kickoff luncheon held at the beginning of each semester; LGBTQ+ History Month, which features a series of events throughout October; the Alliance Mentoring Program, which pairs students with LGBTQ+ staff or faculty mentors; the Q Guide, an online document detailing the various services available to alphabet students and staff; a speakers bureau, which invites LGBTQ+ individuals from the local community to speak with students; 17 gender-neutral bathrooms; and Affinity Groups, biweekly meetings for students to discuss issues ranging from the gender spectrum to LGBTQ+ spirituality to queer people of color, according to the SJA website.

In addition to being a place where students can study, socialize and relax, Pride Commons is one of three major Safe Zones on campus. Safe Zones are areas staffed by faculty or student coordinators who have received special four-part ally training from SJA that acquaints them with the concerns of LGBTQ+ students. Individuals who complete the training are presented with a placard they can place outside of their door to indicate that they’ve been taught how to be sensitive to common LGBTQ+ issues.

“Our Safe Zone series is a four-part training series that teaches how to become more inclusive in your classroom and offices,” Andrade says. “It starts from very basic stuff in LGBTQ+ 101, where we go over some

here’s nothing particularly special about Room 171 at the University of Central Florida. If it weren’t for the four rainbow flags emblazoned on its entryway, one might easily mistake it for any other student lounge. But to the students inside, Room 171 is more than just a place to relax: It’s a home away from home, a space where LGBTQ+ students are free to be themselves without exception or reservation.

“I went to three different high schools, two public and one private, and none of them really had any spaces like this,” says Taylor Robbins, a sophomore biology major.

“This is the first time I’ve been a part of a community like this, where there was something I felt was relevant [to me].”

Room 171 (aka Pride Commons) is one of several outreach initiatives sponsored by the university to show support for its alphabet students. These initiatives are coordinated and developed by the office of Social Justice and Advocacy, a student-faculty organization that advocates for multicultural and LGBTQ+ students alike. Its efforts are spearheaded by Justin Andrade, the LGBTQ+ services coordinator for the SJA. “My position is responsible for LGBTQ advocacy on campus, which could be anything from policy inclusion to inclusion practices of housing, health services, to anything directly dealing with LGBTQ students, to ensure that we’re being as inclusive as possible,” Andrade says. “We want to be sure that different offices, departments and administrators have LGBTQ students at the forefront of their minds when dealing with

terminology and some basic history to start the dialog on LGBTQ+ inclusion efforts, and then branches off to advocate training, which deals with trans students; a workshop dealing with students coming out; and GOLD, which is our Gender, Orientation, Language and Diversity workshop, where we spend some time breaking down the differences in biological sex and gender identity.”

Beyond the efforts of the SJA, groups like Counseling and Psychological Services center (CAPS) offer therapy and support groups for gay, lesbian and transgender students.

These weekly services are held in groups of six to 10 and are led by one to two certified counselors.

“We offer a Questioning and Coming Out group to students who are working on coming out and the early stages of the process, who are working on self-acceptance, family concerns and the cultural norms that are shifting for them during this process,” says Robert Dwyer, the support group coordinator and a counselor at CAPS. “And then there’s the Trans Support group, which is a place where students can discuss their concerns and be supportive of one another.”

Dwyer says that the most common issues he helps students cope with are feelings of isolation, depression and anxiety. He says that attendance at the questioning group has fallen, and at the same time attendance at the trans support group has risen – a trend he says began around four years ago.

“We’re wondering if there are other places on campus where students are being supported, and whether coming out is a less relevant concern for students who are coming to counseling,” he says. “Meanwhile, our trans support group, which used to be more fledgling and inconsistently attended, is so popular that we’re almost running out of space.”

Support for trans students now extends to the housing process, which allows students to indicate a preferred name that will be filed with the registrar and used on most university documentation. Housing works closely with trans students to ensure that they are placed in a safe, trans-friendly environment.

“We don’t have a specific process or accommodation for students who identify as gay or lesbian,” says Meredith Varner, the assistant director of UCF Housing and Residence Life. “Within our housing application, we do ask the question if their gender identity is different than their legal sex on record: If they answer yes to that question, we send them a follow-up email that connects them with two staff members who will talk with them about where they are in their process, where they might want

to live, who they might want as housemates – we do our best to find safe and appropriate roommates for these people, not anyone who’s transphobic or wouldn’t understand what they’re going through.”

While efforts by the SJA, CAPS and housing have done much to accommodate LGBTQ+ students – enough to earn UCF four (out of five) stars on the Campus Pride Index for gay-friendly schools – Andrade admits that gaps remain in the university’s services when dealing with trans students. Public regulations prevent housing from pairing trans students with members of the opposite sex, and the medical center is able to fill – but not write – prescriptions for medications used in sexreassignment therapy. A report compiled by the SJA detailing coverage gaps for trans students is currently under review by the campus administration.

“I really wish that there were more resources that they were actually able to give,” says Johns, a trans woman who requested that her first name remain unpublished. “A lot of the stuff that would matter to me they can’t do, or they’re not allowed to do, like hormone treatment. It’s kind of what I expected. I’m not upset about it, but I did expect [these services] to focus on gay and lesbians, rather than gender issues.”

Overall, gay and lesbian students said they were satisfied with the type of resources the school offered them, and by their experiences with the student body at large.

The most common complaint? Connecting romantically with other LGBTQ+ students.

“The students here are all nice, but maybe that’s just our generation,” says Thomas Fanek, a first-year accounting major. “I don’t ever see anyone getting harassed. I feel pretty normal. The only thing is dating: because we make up such a small part of the population, so it’s difficult to figure out whether someone you’re interested in is interested back.” feedback@orlandoweekly.com

What my transition taught me about how the world perceives men and women By kaleB alexander

y

ou know what I miss the most about having breasts? People offering me free drugs (also: nipple sensation).

I was born genetically female, and I lived that way for 16 years. By the time I was 17, I realized I wasn’t comfortable with this body, this voice, these breasts. I wanted to be masculine – I wanted to be a man.

It’s difficult to articulate how it feels to be treated as somebody different than who you feel you are inside – to feel that so strongly and to have none of your invisible desire to be somebody else recognized.

Every social interaction chipped away at my identity. I felt like I was screaming into a void, but nobody even noticed that my mouth was open.

So I decided it was time for my body to match my identity. I got my first binder – a tight-fitting garment that flattens the breasts – a month after I turned 17.

A week before I turned 18 I was on hormone replacement therapy. A year later, two weeks after I turned 19, I went to Fort Lauderdale and had my top surgery.

Suddenly, dudes stopped offering to smoke me out or give me this extra Xanax that they “just had laying around.” Because I went from being perceived as female to being perceived as male almost overnight.

It was sheer bliss, and it did wonders for my self-esteem and desire to live (suddenly I had one).

that women’s opinions are often devalued, as if a person is intellectually inferior simply because she has a vagina. I see that women are constantly being judged – if a woman wears too much makeup, she’s a harlot or she’s ugly; she shows up sleepy and in sweatpants, people ask her what’s wrong.

I am also keenly aware of how lucky I am that my maleness has given me the ability to burp and spit and look how I want and behave how I want without (much) judgment. But my experience has given me a rare perspective – as somebody who’s been perceived as both a cis-woman and a cis-man, I know what it’s like on both sides of the fence. We’re a culture in transition (if you’ll excuse the pun), in terms of how we perceive people based on gender, and the first step in any transition is awareness.

But I don’t miss people telling me that I “couldn’t” do things – instead of, “Oh no, honey, you can’t do that!”

I get, “Hey, don’t do that.”

It seems like a minor difference, but it’s often the little details that construct the foundation of the gender gap that we need to bridge.

Overall, I’m stoked to be without my breasts. Going for a jog is so much easier without them, and despite the fact that people don’t try to give me free stuff anymore for no reason other than the fact that they were attached to my chest, I don’t miss them.

I do miss the convenient storage they provided, though – boobs are the best pocket ever. Store your money, phone, weed and a lighter. Who needs a purse when you’ve got a sizable rack?

I also discovered that I had inherited something very valuable – male privilege.

I could ride my bike without being harassed and walk around downtown at night in short shorts without lewd comments. I could show up to most places smelling and looking like shit and nobody would say anything. When I was a girl, I would ride my bike and get shouted at; men would stop and offer me a ride if I was walking with a backpack on. All of a sudden, men stopped approaching me and attempting to barter for my attention with objects (drinks, drugs, coffee, etc.).

For a brief period after my surgery, I felt isolated and alienated. Socializing was always difficult for me, but at least when I was a girl it was more likely that someone would talk to me. Then I realized that I was finally able to be alone – I had the privilege of social invisibility, and I could exist in public without comment. I could walk alone at night and be in a bar without fear (unless I’m perceived as homosexual, then I experience discrimination). I can exist in public without a man feeling entitled to my attention.

The thing with privilege is that it’s subtle – to the point where I’ve almost forgotten how it was to be perceived and treated as female. I had lived as a girl for 16 years, in a gray area of confusion for three, and for the past three I have lived openly as a male, so my experiences are limited in some ways – but that doesn’t mean I have forgotten, or that I take my new-found freedoms lightly.

I know that women are not treated fairly – that people automatically assume that a woman is less informed or less in charge than her male counterparts. I recognize

“We aren’t where we need to be” Orlando Museum of Art announces plans to move out of Loch Haven Park

By Je ssica Bryce you n g

PHOTO BY CHRISTOPHER GARCIA

a

press conference at Orlando Museum of Art last Tuesday, Sept.

29, promised to be fairly straightforward, if not pro forma. The press release advised that OMA director and CEO Glen Gentele and Ted Brown, chairman of the OMA’s Strategic Planning Committee, would “discuss the Museum’s newly approved goals and institutional vision, including – but not limited to – OMA’s presence within Orlando and its surrounding communities.”

As a handful of media representatives seated themselves in the SunTrust Auditorium, a constantly looping bit of music was audible. After a couple of minutes, “What is this soundtrack?” one reporter asked; another replied, “It sounds like something ominous is going to happen.”

What it was was a loop from Kraftwerk’s “Trans-Europe Express,” one of the most influential singles ever recorded, a synthy paean to futurism that has become aural shorthand signaling modernity. An apt background, then, for the release of “Forward to 100: Reimagining the Orlando Museum of Art in the 21st Century,” the final conclusions of the Board of Trustees’ yearlong strategic planning study. That person moved to anxious anticipation by the music wasn’t wrong, though. The aura of mystery evoked by the music, if not the press release, resolved itself when Gentele and Brown announced plans to seek a new “container” for the museum’s collections.

In other words, as stated on page 33 of the report, “Loch Haven Park is not viewed as the ideal location for the future of the Orlando Museum of Art.” Or, as Brown put it more bluntly a few minutes into his address, “We aren’t where we need to be.”

Brown said that OMA would seek space in Orlando’s “urban core,” i.e. downtown, noting that of 65 million annual visitors to Orlando, so few as to be a statistically negligible number visit the museum. The planning board concluded that as public transit options improve and as the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts becomes more established, Orlando’s downtown is the best place to develop a

cultural district – something of a knock on Loch Haven, which the city of Orlando website calls “the region’s premier cultural park.”

“All great cities have great art museums, and we are working in that direction. But relationally, what is around the museum is important,” said Gentele.

The museum hopes to increase from its current 19,000 square feet of gallery space to 45,000-50,000 square feet of usable exhibition space, as well as more parking, larger educational facilities, more space for collection vaults and fabrication, a bar and café, a glass-blowing institute and “a five-star restaurant experience,” all desires that are incompatible with the current building and land footprint.

Gentele called “Forward to 100” a “vision plan with strategic initiatives.” In addition to the goal of a new home, the board wants to focus on more diverse audiences.

“We know … there are half a million Hispanics that were not here in the ’60s and the ’70s. We know as well that there’s a huge influx of Asian population into Central Florida,” Brown said. “That is the future of Orlando, and that is something that we embraced in this report: getting to a place where all of these citizenry come enthusiastically to share in this very unique commodity called art.” While museum visitors have apparently been lily-white, the museum has at least made strides in diversifying its exhibitions. Both iterations of the Florida Prize in Contemporary Art, an initiative created on Gentele’s watch, have featured an equable mix of male and female artists, with a significant concentration of artists of Hispanic or Latino heritage.

Both Gentele and Brown stressed that this announcement marked the commencement of a yearlong feasibility study, and that within a year they hoped to have a solid plan for what would probably be a 10-year process. Addressing the question of why they would announce their intentions so far ahead of time, Brown said that “the only way to be held accountable to your vision is to tell people your vision … and we want to be accountable.” jyoung@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

Two new comics collections from Drawn & Quarterly cut to the quick

By Jessica B ryc e you n g

so Beaton wears it, though it’s annoyingly reductive. Sure, there’s quirk in the way she applies modern-day perspective to historical events, and in her loose, scribbly line, but do not be deceived: There’s also the deep and broad knowledge of world events only a bluestocking history major would possess, and those innocuously wiggly sketches manage to depict utterly specific emotions, evoking reaction with a millimeter’s precision while looking like a dashed-off doodle.

For people of a certain bent, Beaton’s “Hark! A Vagrant” has been an addiction since its inception in 2007. Once it found a home on the web, it became a regular stop on their Internet daily rounds (though with an irregular publishing schedule, there’s no knowing when a new comic will be up). Beaton’s mix of obscure historical detail, literary obsessions, Canadian arcana and pop-culture noodlings attracts a surprisingly large following, most of whom will no doubt purchase Step Aside, Pops – who’d predict that a collection of riffs on sea captains, the Brontë sisters, Danton and Robespierre, Nancy Drew and Ida B. Wells would catch fire?

But it does. Like all the best jokes, it’s impossible to explain why a multi-page ramble through the life of a minor character in a Janet Jackson video from 1986, or a series of “continuations” from scenes depicted in antique stock art, or even just Napoleon huffily explaining that he’s not really that short, is funny – you have to see it to feel it. Sure, you can see a lot of it for free online, but for those moments when you’re away from the Wi-Fi, Step Aside, Pops exists to keep you entertained. There’s even a helpful index, so you can flip right to your favorite character, from Achilles to Zeus.

n Adrian Tomine’s latest collection of graphic short stories, Killing and Dying, broken people navigate clumsily through their lives. Whether revving wheels that seem permanently stuck in the mud or trudging away from an emotional car crash, gingerly checking themselves for injury, Tomine’s characters do eventually arrive at some form of peace or at least stasis – or some of them do, anyway.

Tomine has been writing and drawing Optic Nerve since the age of 16; Killing and Dying is the latest hard-bound collection of stories from the Optic Nerve series, and it continues its tradition of quiet devastation captured in minimal lines.

The clarity of Tomine’s cool, spare drawings is matched by the sharpness of his observations; he has a phenomenal ability to create fully realized characters in fully realistic situations, often killingly painful, though sometimes lightened with a redeeming moment or two of joy. The title story, about a teenage girl with a stutter who wants to do stand-up, catalogs every cringe, every pain, every fragile hope with staggering economy. Killing and Dying seems to have been dictated by that still small voice in the night – the one that tells you what a fuck-up you are and then, in the next breath, tells you it’ll all be OK.

KEN LUZADDER IN REALMS OF THE UNTOLD

Adventures in Charity

BY SETH KUBERSKY

This year, warming up with some gentler trick-or-treat spirit before diving into the blood-splattered haunts It’s always disorienting to come home after a long trip, but returning from Europe to Orlando in October can be downright disturbing. It isn’t that I didn’t appreciate the severed limb (complete with gore-spattered selfie stick) that Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights media team left festering on my doorstep; but in the wake of school shootings and Syrian bombings, I’m not feeling my usual bloodthirsty self yet this season. So I was grateful last weekend to warm up with some untold adventures of a less graphic nature, to get into the trick-or-treat spirit before tackling the haunted houses.

Realms of the Untold

Picture, if you will, a small theater in the heart of Ivanhoe Village, standing in the shadow of imminent demolition and redevelopment. You’ve just crossed over into the Venue, where Dark Side of Saturn productions has staged playwright-director Corey Volence’s six tales of the strange and supernatural that travel directly from … the Realms of the Untold.

I grew up watching midnight reruns of The Twilight Zone on a tiny black-and-white TV in my bedroom, and reading Stephen

King under the covers. Apparently I’m not the only one, since Volence (writer of the 2013 Orlando Fringe hit Key of E) has lovingly laced his eerie anthology with allusions – from the pitch-perfect Serlingesque interstitial voice-overs to nods to John Carpenter and the late Vic Morrow.

But even if you don’t know H.P. Lovecraft from The Outer Limits, these six “episodes” include enough clever conceits, sharp dialogue and impassioned performances to merit tuning in.

The cast is led by Ken Luzadder, who stars as an aging actor who owes his career to Satanic assistance; a professor driven mad by a glimpse at Cthulhu’s home reality; and a colonel who loses his cool during a nuclear emergency. Luzadder exhibits impressive range in the roles, but he’s hampered by accents that interfere with intelligibility. Likewise, Jan Taylor Hendricks tears her heart (and ours) out with an agonizing monster monologue, but her Blanche DuBois dialect distracts.

John Reid Adams is ideally unctuous as various oily incarnations of Evil, and Chaz Krivan and Monica Titus are sitcom-worthy as a Buffy-meets-American Pie couple contemplating “doing it” for the first time in forever. Finally, while the cast capably apes the amped-up acting styles of the 1960s scifi dramas they are paying tribute to, Miles Berman’s too-small role as a stoned soldier offers refreshingly modern relief. Volence captures the tone of those shows, but not

Last Saturday, Halloween came early to Lake Buena Vista, as nattily dressed Dapper Day devotees descended on Disney’s Hollywood Studios by day and an Adventurers Club reunion invaded the Holiday Inn on 535 in the evening. Seven years after the beloved interactive watering hole at the heart of Pleasure Island was shuttered, Adventures in Charity is still keeping the Kungaloosh spirit alive with their sold-out annual event. A cocktail hour (serving frosty re-creations of the Club’s signature drink), silent auction and VIP after-party were all on the agenda, but the main event was a multi-hour cabaret featuring many fan-favorite Club performers, who also happen to be among Orlando’s best theater professionals. Karl Anthony Ockstadt and Allison DeCaro hosted in character as pompous professor Otis T. Wren and the club’s piercing president, Pamelia Perkins, introducing a cavalcade of AC veterans, each of whom belted a tune or two and took to the couch for a Q&A session catching the crowd up on their careers. Alumni included Jay T. Becker, John Connon, Glen Gover, Mary Thompson Hunt, Meghan Moroney, Eric Pinder and Sheila Smith Ward, with Jim “Fingers” Roberts returning on piano and founding member Kris Truelsen phoning in from Toronto as “the Colonel.”

It was great to hear some of the old songs and skits again (though Disney’s lawyers forbade them from using copyrighted material); even better to see how much the ex-Adventurers Club cast continues to contribute to Orlando arts; and best of all to help raise more than $13,000 for area causes like A Better Life Pet Rescue, Zebra Coalition and Central Florida Community Arts. But I was also reminded of the insular in-jokes and inappropriate repeat guests that contributed to the Club’s demise, and my after-party visit to its original location only reinforced how hard it is to go home again. The former Pleasure Island’s new Indiana Jones-inspired Hangar Bar was filled to capacity without even the option to wait, while Morimoto Asia has replaced Mannequins’ rotating dance floor with unexceptional sushi and spotty service at extravagant prices. And exiting Disney Springs’ new parking garage? That’s a tale more terrifying than anything old Rod ever wrote. skubersky@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

[ restaurant review ]

by Faiyaz Kara

The soft opening for Baoery, Greg Richie’s Asian gastropub in his old Cityfish space, is slated for Wednesday, Oct. 14. As you can guess, bao (those tasty steamed buns) will be prominently featured. Barbecue pork belly bao, Korean fried chicken bao, and shellfish bao are just a few buns to expect. Other dishes on the menu include ramen bowls, short rib, duck, and fish tacos; small plates featuring dumplings, shishito peppers, calamari and the like; and burgers, banh mis and, yes, dessert bao as well.

Norman Van Aken (Norman’s at the RitzCarlton) will open a restaurant in historic Mount Dora in early 2016. He’s known as the founding father of New World cuisine, so you can bet the promised “refined rustic cuisine” of the yet-to-be-named restaurant will incorporate Floribbean influences.

Steak and seafood joint really makes a splash with Disney diners

By FAIyAz KARA THe BoaTHoUSe 1620 E. Buena Vista Drive, Lake Buena Vista | 407-939-2628 | theboathouseorlando.com | $$$$

S

tep inside the Boathouse and you’d think that CEO Steve Schussler (Rainforest Café, T-Rex, Yak & Yeti) was out to build the theme restaurant to end all theme restaurants. Even amid the teeming throngs of tourists and the constant construction in Disney Springs, the Boathouse (styled here in bombastic allcaps: BOATHOUSE) is hard to miss. A soaring phallus masquerading as a lighthouse tower pointedly marks the entry into Schussler’s monstrous house of boating paraphernalia and seaside eats. The place is enormous – three distinct dining rooms, a centerpiece bar area, outside seating, a stage for live music, and a gift shop the size of which befits a shopping mall more than a restaurant. The only thing missing, I remarked to my dining comrade, was a full-fledged ride, but that certainly didn’t stop us from taking in the ridiculous spectacle. The metaphoric splash Schussler undoubtedly wanted to make? Consider it achieved. Diners are submerged in a world of nautical porn – dream boats, outboard motors, fish trophies, vintage ship throttles – and just when you think it’s all a little too

overwhelming, the unmistakable sounds of Christopher Cross crooning “Sailing” drowns your ears.

Beneath the blast of an AC vent, we were seated in close proximity to the stage, where a couple of musicians were readying their set. The only thing more chilled than we were was the lobster cocktail ($18), served on ice. The pound-and-a-quarter cucaracha del mar gave us cause to crack and slurp, which ultimately helped to refocus our attentions onto the food. In addition to feeling good about eating local and sustainable middleneck clams ($15) from Cedar Key, Florida, we thoroughly enjoyed their subtly sweet flavor. Also subtly sweet were the soft Parker House rolls that admirably filled the gap between starters and mains. I was really looking forward to the yellowedge grouper ($33) as my entree, but it was only after the impeccably broiled spice-rubbed fish was devoured that I learned it was on Seafood Watch’s “Avoid” list. Had I known beforehand, I wouldn’t have ordered it.

I guess the label on the top of the menu reading “thoughtfully sourced products” is just that – a label. Nevertheless, the buttery succotash of roasted corn, avocado, blistered tomatoes and jalapeños on which the grouper lay was stellar. Was it worth the regret we felt afterwards? Nope.

Given the Boathouse is managed by

Gibsons Restaurant Group out of Chicago, it’s no surprise they carry a superior line of USDA Prime steaks. Gibsons, in fact, is the only restaurant group to have their own USDA certification, and the 14-ounce New York strip ($48) easily lived up to expectations. (One gripe: no ribeyes on the menu.)

Now, for $48, I would’ve expected an accompaniment or two, but not so. Steaks are served a la carte here, so we ordered a side of roasted new potatoes ($8) though, in actuality, the steak stood on its own.

Neither the Key lime pie in a Mason jar ($9) nor the double chocolate bundt cake ($10) impressed us; the former lacked bite and the latter was overly saturated with berry coulis. Service for the most part is polished and professional, though some of the busboys need a rudimentary course on how to clear tables in a less disruptive way.

On our way out, a man donned in captain’s garb standing at the entrance to a boat ramp caught my eye, and that’s when I saw it – the full-fledged ride I jokingly said the restaurant needed. Seems guests of the Boathouse can take a ride in amphibious cars called Amphicars for a mere $125. The lyrics I heard Christopher Cross warble just an hour before rang true: Fantasy – it gets the best of me.

EVENTS The Rockin’ Burger Block Party at the Epcot Food & Wine Festival will feature the cast of ABC’s The Chew from 7-9 p.m.

– each one also marries fantastically with sweet bourbon. It took just a bit of experimenting to find the right proportions.

And in the end, in a finale familiar to anyone who dabbles in cocktail mixology, a dash of clear, faintly bitter Luxardo Maraschino (a liqueur distilled from sour cherry pits) was the thing that tied it all together. This lesssweet Bourbon Bramble, poised between summer and fall flavors, is just right for weather that’s in the same in-between spot.

Start with the proportions here, but taste and adjust; the sweetness of both the bourbon you choose and the fruit you buy will vary. jyoung@orlandoweekly.com

alternate liquors – this recipe calls for bourbon, but I also had success with rye, aged rum (try Grander, which has a whiskey-like vibe) and even tequila.

It was very easy to simply swap in another spirit for the gin and call it a day, but I wanted to take it further. Pimm’s, another British summer talisman, announced a limited-edition blackberry and elderflower version of their herbal liqueur a couple of years ago and it’s now available in the U.S.; it’s a worthy addition to your bar arsenal, useful as a supporting player or simply mixed with club soda or tonic over ice.

Summery as all these flavors are – lemon and sugar, blackberry and elderflower

remIx • 1 1/2 ounces bourbon • 1 ounce Pimm’s Blackberry & Elderflower • 1/4 ounce Luxardo Maraschino • 1/2 ounce fresh-squeezed lemon • 1/2 ounce simple syrup • fresh blackberries Muddle two large berries at the bottom of a cocktail shaker, then add ice and bourbon, Pimm’s, Luxardo, lemon juice and simple syrup.

Shake, then strain into a rocks glass over crushed ice.

sweetness – the Bramble is a far superior drink. Compared to the Cosmo’s machined simplicity and rigid samey-sameness, the Bramble, basically a gin sour with a drizzle of blackberry liqueur, offers a shaggy variability, seasonality and an endearing patriotism (gin and blackberries being fetishes of British summer).

When I laud the Bramble’s variability, I mostly mean that it’s easy to screw around with. (Cosmos are pointless to remix.

Vodka tastes of nothing, so it’s a cocktail with no backbone; its only character comes from the mixers.) In fall a young girl’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of brown spirits, and the Bramble adapts extremely well to

n this column I put a new twist on a classic cocktail each month. Those classics usually date from the very early part of the 20th century, having evolved around the Jazz Age, with its need to disguise poor-quality liquor and its wider drinking audience, due to relaxed mores against women drinking spirits. So it may seem like a stretch to call a cocktail from the 1980s a classic, but the Bramble is undeniably one.

The Bramble was first mixed by Dick Bradsell at his trendy London bar, Fred’s Club, in 1984. It’s often compared, in fact, to another 1980s “classic”: the Cosmopolitan.

While they share some traits besides vintage – easy drinkability, pinkness,

Gopal Ji Sweets Some wonderful vegetarian dishes are to be had at this Indian resto, but populist sentiment has seen all but one of the “sweets” jettisoned. The menu may soon include meat dishes, but until then, do yourself a favor and sample their outstanding “chaat” items, like bhel puri, chole bhatura and veg samosas.

Mains like masala bhindi (okra) and aloo saag (creamy spinach with potatoes) are properly spiced and simply delightful, but beware parched naan. If it’s a sweet you crave, consider rich kulfi faludi essenced with rose water. 4642 S. Kirkman Road, 407-730-8800; $$

Yard House Yard House takes the principle of “something for everyone” very seriously: Drinkers can choose from 140 beers on draught or scores of cocktail choices, and the huge menu reads like a cross between an issue of Bon Appetit and a stoner’s fever dream. Making a choice can be overwhelming, both because there are so many dishes and because they all sound fantastic, but you probably can’t go too far wrong. Yard House’s kitchen staff is skilled; everything is competently executed (but their menu developers are the real geniuses). 8367 International Drive, 407-351-8220, $$$

Tom + Chee Nestled into a strip mall in Lake Buena Vista with at least seven other chains, Tom + Chee’s menu is full of gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches, creamy and chunky tomato soups, “Mac & Chee” and grilled cheese donuts. (Yes, really.) If sweet-salty-savory is your thing, order the Barbara Blue, a griddled glazed doughnut with blueberry compote, ham and brie oozing out the sides. 12533 State Road 535, 321-395-4930, $

Red Robin For years, we’ve heard the “Red Robin … YUMMMMM!” jingle on Central Florida television, but we’ve been deprived of those bottomless fries until the opening of the I-Drive 360 complex. Our perfect chain-resto meal: a Blue Moon beer CONTINUED ON PaGe 34

shake (Belgian white ale, vanilla soft serve, orange juice and Cointreau), sautéed ’shroom burger (keep a stack of napkins handy), and Towering Doh! Ring (a stack of eight cronuts with sauces). 8167 International Drive, 407-574-2295; $$

Bavaro’s Pizza Napoletana & Pastaria Not your average pizza and pasta joint, this Winter Springs hotspot draws them in for Neapolitan-style pies and housemade, 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, and to end without sampling either the cannoli or tiramisu would be a mistake. 1468 Tuskawilla Road, Winter Springs, 321-422-3600; $$$

Union Burger The better burger movement gets the Canadian treatment at this Lake Nona outpost of this Ontario-based chain, but don’t blame Canada for the subpar poutine served here, or the overdone burgers and dogs. Shakes veer on the sweet side, but locals will appreciate Cigar City brews and Quantum Leap wines. 9680 Narcoossee Road, 407-745-4510; $

Mark’s Caribbean Cuisine UCF-area jerk joint isn’t in the tidiest of strip malls, but the Jamaican fare is neat-o.

Yes, the jerk chicken is top-notch, but the supremely tender oxtail stew is what regulars come back for. Plush cuts of goat in a heady curry gratify, as does traditional ackee and saltfish. Servers are friendly, but don’t expect to be wowed by the decor.

10034 University Blvd., 407-699-8800; $

Korea House The Colonial Drive outpost of Korea House is just as meat-centric as its Longwood counterpart. All-you-can-eat Korean barbecue is the clear choice for most patrons – given the quality of meat and the relatively low AYCE price, it’s easy to see why. Not up for barbecue? Stir-fries and soups, like mandu-guk with dumplings and rice cake in beef broth, will make happy fun dance in your tummy. 4501 Colonial Drive, 407-896-5994; $$

Two Chefs Seafood Oyster Bar Don’t let the casual decor fool you – there’s some worthy NOLA-inspired fare to be had here. The deep experience of the chefs clearly shows in plates of fried chicken, baked oysters and roasted duck hash.

Do yourself a favor and order a side of stellar charred okra, then reward yourself with superlative endings of banana bread pudding and praline cheesecake. 743 N. Magnolia Ave., 407-270-4740; $$ n

they’re probably the type of people who like hearing how magic tricks are performed and insist on taking backstage tours of everything, but they’re out there.

As far as I’m concerned, there’s only one retconned origin story worth a damn, and that’s Santa Claus Is Coming to Town. And you, Mr. Wright, are no Rankin-Bass. (Alert to your mother: Contains Hugh Jackman.) (PG) Steve Jobs Danny Boyle’s Slumdog Millionaire advanced the proposition that a single person’s financial windfall should make you forget all about the institutionalized poverty he left behind, and Aaron Sorkin’s script for The Social Network was based on the idea that entrepreneurship works better when it isn’t in the hands of stupid people who are under the age of 40. So I don’t know what to expect from their collaborative portrait of fallen Apple Steve Jobs. On the one hand, Jobs is enough of an icon of look-theother-way capitalism that Boyle might have his face tattooed on his inner thigh; on the other, the movie only charts Jobs’ accomplishments up to the age of 43, which should pin the needle on Sorkin’s “get off my lawn” meter. Now, as for star Michael Fassbender: Shouldn’t he be in a movie about Wang? (R)

The Frenchman’s greatest walk, of course, came in 1974 when he strung a cable between the towers of the brandnew World Trade Center, making high-wire history and astounding New Yorkers. His illegal feat was chronicled in the 2008 documentary Man on Wire and is now the subject, in narrative-fiction form, of The Walk.

Though Man on Wire is good, the new Robert Zemeckis film is slightly better. And to understand why, one can turn to Woody Allen. A character in that director’s masterpiece, Zelig, says that when a man changes appearances, you have to see it. You can’t just read or hear about it. Although that film deals with absurdist fiction, the same principle holds true for a real-life marvel: a man walking a wire across a 140-foot span 1,350 feet in the air. And since the actual walk was never captured in moving images, it is perfect fodder for cinematic spectacle.

Zemeckis may be no Allen, but he’s no slouch either. The vastly underrated director has helmed such masterpieces as Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Forrest Gump. He understands the visual power of cinema and realizes that, if he uses all the specialeffects tricks in his repertoire, he can bring “the walk” back to life.

Although the film was shot in 2-D and converted to 3-D, the conversion is extraordinary and contains even a few gimmicky but fun “made you jump” moments. The lighting and color palette (especially in the early scenes of France) are stunning too, as is the well-researched art direction. It’s just a shame that almost everything else had to be so flat.

Instead of shooting a drama, Zemeckis opted for his usual mix of Spielbergian fantasy mixed with comedy-caper. That adds energy and whimsy, even intermittent magic that’s suitable for the entire family, but the film is disappointingly short on realistic drama and a true sense of danger. Told almost entirely by Petit (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), in both voice-over and stagey addresses to the camera, the story sometimes feels contrived, and the accents are often muddled and distracting. GordonLevitt is acceptable, as is Ben Kingsley as Petit’s mentor, but many of Petit’s friends aren’t fully fleshed out. Most disappointing is the only female, Petit’s girlfriend (Charlotte Le Bon), who is an astonishingly beautiful, empty shell.

But perhaps Zemeckis was fine with the supporting cast’s one-dimensionality, as this film really belongs to just three characters: Petit and the two towers. As his friends remark, Petit was the one who first gave the towers their humanity and made New Yorkers see them as more than monoliths of mortar and steel. He gave them an aesthetic soul. And with this loving tribute to not just a great piece of performance art but also the buildings that made that art possible, Zemeckis has given us a magical, if flawed, tribute to the fallen symbols of Americana. feedback@orlandoweekly.com

Mend to be Twin Shadow’s George Lewis Jr. on being shaped by bus accidents, pop ambition and growing up in Florida drum machines.

But the accident allowed Lewis to complete a cycle of reconnection that began in 2014 after his father, George Sr., spent several months in a mental hospital, giving George Jr. and his mom space to repair their relationship. “When you’re in a very vulnerable place like I was, laying in bed for a couple of months, it draws a lot of people back into your life,” Lewis says. “It was nice that I had already started working on mending those relationships, so that when the accident happened, I had a lot of support from a lot of people. I look down at my hand constantly, and although it’s not fully healed yet, the recovery went a lot faster because of those connections.”

During the break, Lewis also compiled the free Night Rally mixtape from five years of archival material recorded over “late nights, mornings after no sleep, the bad decisions, the good ones, the sobering solitude, the mistakes, the ideas lost and the singing out of key.” Which was a brave move for an artist that considers ambition, practice and craft the cornerstones of pop stardom – not to mention one who pillories those who cling to their indie identity and bemoan the supposed sell-outs among us. “People should project what’s inside of them outward in a more rehearsed and trained way,” Lewis says. “I have so many projects in my head, and I want to tackle them one by one here in the next year. I’m taking a little bit of a break on writing right now, but I still feel like I’m always working in some way to get more people to hear my music.”

a

s the main man in Twin Shadow, George Lewis Jr. has cultivated a reputation for front-and-center bravado. He’s put himself on the cover of all three of his albums, which quickly evolved from hazy bedroom tinkering (2010’s Forget) to slick dance rock (2012’s Confess) to big-tent pop (2015’s Eclipse). His leather jackets and well-coiffed looks evoke an image of the libidinous lover boy that women (and men) can’t resist. He’s written hooks for Billy Idol and Eminem, appeared in Grand Theft Auto V, worked with Levi’s and Urban Outfitters, and willingly jumped from indie powerhouse 4AD to major-label Warner Bros. Records. In short, Lewis embodies the term “careerist.”

While his trajectory still points up, 2015 brought Lewis and Twin Shadow back down to earth. In April, the band’s two tour buses were involved in a horrific crash in heavy fog outside of Denver, seriously injuring several members and forcing Lewis to have reconstructive hand surgery. Although the band stuck by a TV appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers less than three weeks after the accident, the ongoing hospitalization of drummer Andy Bauer prompted the cancellation of shows in May, June and July. Bauer can walk again, but he still wasn’t able to appear on Twin Shadow’s current tour, which prompted Lewis to reconfigure the tunes with samplers and

Now, if you’re from Florida, you might think we’re burying the lede by not mentioning Lewis’ roots in the state; although he was born in the Dominican Republic, lived for 10 years in Brooklyn, and now resides in Los Angeles, most of his childhood was spent outside Sarasota. “Every time I tour in Florida, I get a little closer to where I grew up,” Lewis says. “Orlando’s the closest show to my hometown, Venice, so I feel it’s going to be a high-school reunion.”

Lewis says he’s also learned to let go of some of the tendencies he developed as the prototypical Florida teenager: the

musically inclined outsider surrounded by rich old folks and rednecks. “I spent so much of my life being such a music snob,” he says. “Coming from a smaller town, what you seek out defines you when you’re young.” Chalk it up to another self-realization arrived at in the wake of that bus accident: “On this tour, I’m taking in for the first time in a long time what other people are listening to,” Lewis says. “I’ve been letting the people I love lead the way into something new.” music@orlandoweekly.com

Sham 69

BY B AO L E - H U U

Heads up, fam. TLU breaks next

week to make room for a juicy blowout of the music section covering some emerging local scenes that should be on your radar. We’ll hook back up the week after.

PHOTO BY JEN CRAY

THE BEAT

It’s big news any time a legendary first-wave Oi! band comes to play your town. When it’s Sham 69, however, things get a little shaded. You see, they’re one of those bands with a convoluted and contentious history involving infighting and shifting alliances that’s resulted in multiple touring groups claiming the same name.

If you’ve got an especially investigative interest in rock & roll soap operas and a shitload of free time, look it up.

The Sham 69 that came here (Sept. 26, Backbooth) is the “Tim V” version. As opposed to the so-called “original 1977 line-up” that features three OGs, this one’s historical bona fides boast original guitarist Neil Harris, longtime drummer Ian Whitewood and singer Tim V, whose official affiliation began in 2007 as a replacement for the notoriously elusive Jimmy Pursey, who of course now fronts the 1977 line-up.

Not confused enough yet? Well, the band that showed up here didn’t even contain all the aforementioned. Their publicist confirmed with me that Harris had medical issues that precluded him from touring and Whitewood was actually refused a visa, but both are still official members. So in terms of seniority, all we’re left with is the post-millennial Tim V. I’m cross-eyed at

When the crowd’s there and the spirit’s right, sometimes that’s all you need. this point, so I’ll let the punk-rock scholars debate the legitimacy of all that. It was reason enough, though, to go out and maybe catch a distant vignette of history and run with the bootboys for a night.

This was a true skinhead scene, which evokes lots of bad connotations around here because of the white-power hijacking of the subculture back in the ’80s. But from the telltale signs and the familiar faces I saw, this was a gathering of more traditional heads. To hopefully further dispel some of the negative baggage, please note that Tim V stopped the whole show at one point because a girl in the front row lost her glasses. The violence and merrymaking halted, a search ensued and the specs were located and returned.

See? Fucking sweethearts.

What can I say? It was a competent performance and a fun show. We’re not talking Emerson, Lake & Palmer here. This is rock & roll at its most rowdy and rudimental.

So when the crowd’s there and the spirit’s right, sometimes that’s all you need. Now if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go order me some Oxbloods.

I am unquestionably a Helmet fan. But several reasons conspired to make me walk into their latest show (Sept. 26, the Social) with less than fanatical attitude. First, the focus was the 20th anniversary of Betty. While that album’s in what is widely considered their prime early era, not everything old is necessarily classic. And Betty’s no Meantime. More than that, though, some anemic performances over the past decade or so had me half-resigned to the prospect that they’re on their denouement. In fact, during this show, bandleader Page Hamilton alluded to a dismal appearance 10 years ago at this very club where he was completely fubar.

But this time, at a show completely their own (no openers even), in an up-close venue, Helmet sounded absolutely virile, their controlled fury a respectable, concentrated brute once again. For the first 45 minutes, they powered straight through Betty without pause or audience address.

Played by a powerfully focused band, the album is much more convincing live. After concluding the album, they opened up the set list into a more typical concert, complete with Hamilton’s famously surly humor.

I would’ve if I had to, but I’m glad I’ve no reason this time to pan a band as good or important as this. Now I need to go dig up my old Helmet T-shirt. Since pride is no longer past tense when it comes to that name, I think it’s time to dust off that bad boy again. baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

OUR PICKS FOR THE BEST EVENTS THIS WEEK

Wednesday, 7

Literary Death Match LITERARY Cast off whatever good manners you usually put on when attending a literary event and get ready to howl for blood, because at Literary Death Match, four writers enter and one writer leaves. Look on with wonder and terror as Kristen Arnett, Erica Dawson, Kristin Harmel and David James Poissant slash and batter each other with their words; in fact, the audience is encouraged to “get rowdy,” so don’t just look on, talk some smack while the writers put the smackdown on each other. Two-time U.S. Poet Laureate Billy Collins (a man who understands the violence of fictitious action) will thunder down judgment from above, thumbs-up or -downing the writers as if they were a band of vying gladiators in the colosseum. You may feel a tiny bit of remorse for your fierce participation in this bookish bashfest, but stifle it: The price of admission supports local publisher Burrow Press. – Jessica Bryce Young

DEATH GRIPS

ORLANDO WEEKLY ● OCT. 7-13, 2015

MUSIC A funny thing about the Mountain Goats: Many of the indie folk-rock band’s songs that appeal to people most are the ones full of angst and frustration and rage that seems to come from a deeply personal place – yet the majority of the band’s 12 albums aren’t as deeply personal as you might think. Instead, a lot of the material written and sung by John Darnielle, the band’s founder and only constant member, consists of stories about fictional characters.

For instance, 2001’s All Hail West Texas is a concept album about “seven people, two houses, a motorcycle and a locked treatment facility for adolescent boys.” Likewise, 2002’s Tallahassee – memorable, in part, for the unforgettably brutal anthem “No Children” – is about characters he calls the “Alpha Couple” who live in a fallingdown house that represents their crumbling marriage. In more recent Mountain Goats albums – notably We Shall All Be Healed and The Sunset Tree – Darnielle does go deep, mining his past for songs about growing up with drug-addicted friends and his abusive stepfather. The newest album, Beat the Champ, is a little bit of both. The songs are imaginative accounts about the pro wrestlers Darnielle admired when he was a child. Though the stories are fictional, there’s an element of the personal here, too – for the young Darnielle, wrestling was an obsession, and during a particularly difficult time in his life, he says wrestling was “an avenue of escape for me.” The melding of the personal with the impractical is what gives the album the anxiety and tension we’ve grown to know and love in Darnielle’s best work. Tonight, we expect him to throw himself into his characters with nothing less. – Erin Sullivan

Future-primitive art-rap provocateurs Death Grips are possibly the most mysterious and provocative force on the popular music landscape today. A throat-grabbing head-on of rap and industrial noise, their music alone is undeniable. But once you factor in their striking, conspiratorial style, you’ve got a bona fide shock to the system. Between undermining their major label by leaking their album online and booking high-profile gigs that they never actually planned on playing (Lollapalooza), their wild reputation for operating on their own shadowy terms has mapped the thin, evasive line between shenanigans and full-on aggression. Their last big grenade was famously bailing on a major tour with Nine Inch Nails last year by suddenly disbanding. Luckily, that stunt didn’t stick and they returned to active tour duty this year to bring us what should be the most hotly anticipated concert of 2015. You know, so long as it happens. – Bao Le-Huu MUSIC

Zombietoberfest

Winter Park Autumn Art Festival

Resist the temptation to do nothing but catch up on The Walking Dead in advance of the Season 6 premiere on Sunday. Or at least take a break between episodes to head over to the Audubon Park Garden District for its annual Zombietoberfest celebration. One of the bigger events that APGD throws each year, the festival draws a sizable crowd of living dead enthusiasts for a zombie walk, live music and a costume contest. This year, there will also be a competitive scavenger hunt that starts at 2 p.m. Gather a team and race through the businesses of the district to collect items and solve the mystery of how to cure the zombie outbreak. Regardless of who wins, though, the zombie outbreak is scheduled for 8 p.m., as zombie volunteers of all ages stumble through the streets in a big undead horde. Just leave the shotgun at home; no one thinks it’s funny. – Thaddeus McCollum

EVENTS

The cream of Florida’s artistic crop flock to Central Park this weekend for the 42nd annual Winter Park Autumn Art Festival. More than 180 artists were selected to showcase their work in a variety of formats ranging from painting to ceramics to 3-D mixed media, a new category for the festival. Entertainment is in abundance with an eclectic mix of musical talent playing throughout the day, such as the UCF Flying Horse Big Band, a jazz ensemble that reworks some of the greats from the Beatles and Van Morrison, and many Park Avenue restaurants will be in attendance to provide festivalgoers with some grub as they walk around Central Park. Even though it’s an autumn festival, this is still Florida, so things are going to get hot.

Until Netflix unleashes new episodes of Black Mirror, intrigued audiences should realize “I am one of you” and join like-minded sci-fi fans at the Enzian. Because if there was ever a person you should let scrape the insides of your mind, it’s director David Cronenberg.

His provocative commentary on human psychology and how it’s impacted by futuristic technology reveals with a trembling hand the truer terror of our buried thoughts exhumed to consume us (in full gory detail). Add the campiness of Cronenberg’s unusual eye, and it’s impossible to break gaze with the screen.

The first real glimpse of his steady hand holding a magnifying glass to humanity and all its society-advancing self-mutilation was in his 1981 breakout film, Scanners. (Although this cult classic was more like an evil genius idly creating a fire through the magnifying glass, exploding heads, bursting veins and setting bodies ablaze.) Go scan it again – the outdated technology adds a fresh smirk to relieve some tension. – Ashley Belanger

In light of the mania surrounding the upcoming Star Wars Episode VII and Disney’s announced Star Wars-themed lands, not to mention the inescapable fact that Fanboys Have Taken Over The World, this show in which one actor performs the entire original trilogy by himself in just 75 minutes ought to be a popular draw. Canadian actor Charlie Ross has toured his One Man Star Wars Trilogy from fringe festival to fringe festival since its debut in 2001, racking up more rave reviews than Tosche Station has power converters. Fellow fringe-fest stalwart T.J. Dawe (multiple awardwinner and longtime fan favorite at the Orlando Fringe) directs this six-night run of Ross’ “side-splitting romp through a galaxy far, far away.” This is the show you’re looking for. – JBY

Autechre

Groundbreaking British techno duo Autechre caused warped hearts to stop with their two-hour 2013 release Exai, as if the twisted manipulators hit pause on each fan’s internal beat, so the notion that they were touring North America this year basically floored serious fans, who likely gripped their chests as they sank to their knees in gratitude. That sounds like a lot of hype, but their perverse electronica has stunned for decades, especially in a live setting. It’ll soon be validated by this unique show’s spectacular build-up. – Ashley Belanger

avoid a comparable scenario. Fighting for your cause is good only if it doesn’t wreak turmoil and bewilderment. If you want to avoid an outcome in which both sides lose, you’ve got to engineer a result in which both sides win. Be a cagey compromiser.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) If I warned you not to trust anyone, I hope you would reject my simplistic fearmongering. If I suggested that you trust everyone unconditionally, I hope you would dismiss my delusional naiveté. But it’s important to acknowledge that the smart approach is far more difficult than those two extremes.

You’ve got to evaluate each person and even each situation on a case-by-case basis. There may be unpredictable folks who are trustworthy some of the time, but not always. Can you be both affably openhearted and slyly discerning? It’s especially important that you do so in the next 16 days.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) As I meditated on your astrological aspects, I had an intuition that I should go to a gem fair I’d heard about. It was at an event center near my home.

When I arrived, I was dazzled to find a vast spread of minerals, fossils, gemstones and beads. Within a few minutes, two stones had commanded my attention, as if they’d reached out to me telepathically: chrysoprase, a green gemstone and petrified wood, a mineralized fossil streaked with earth tones. The explanatory note next to the chrysoprase said that if you keep this gem close to you, it “helps make conscious what has been unconscious.” Ownership of the petrified wood was described as conferring “the power to remove obstacles.” I knew these were the exact oracles you needed.

I bought both stones, took them home and put them on an altar dedicated to your success in the coming weeks.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) George R. R. Martin has written a series of fantasy novels collectively called A Song of Ice and Fire. They have sold 60 million copies and been adapted for the TV series Game of Thrones. Martin says the inspiration for his master work originated with the pet turtles he owned as a kid. The creatures lived in a toy castle in his bedroom, and he pretended they were knights and kings and other royal characters. “I made up stories about how they killed each other and betrayed each other and fought for the kingdom,” he has testified. I think the next seven months will be a perfect time for you to make a comparable leap.

What’s your version of Martin’s turtles? And what valuable asset can you turn it into?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) We all go through phases when we are tempted to believe in the factuality of every hostile, judgmental and random thought that our monkey mind generates. I am not predicting that this is such a time for you. But I do want to ask you to be extra skeptical toward your monkey mind’s fabrications.

Right now it’s especially important that you think as coolly and objectively as possible. You can’t afford to be duped by anyone’s crazy talk, including your own. Be extra vigilant in your quest for the raw truth.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Do you know about the ancient Greek general Pyrrhus? At the Battle of Asculum in 279 BCE, his army technically defeated Roman forces, but his casualties were so substantial that he ultimately lost the war. You can and you must

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Galway Kinnell’s poem “Middle of the Way” is about his solo trek through the snow on Oregon’s Mount Gauldy. As he wanders in the wilderness, he remembers an important truth about himself: “I love the day, the sun … But I know [that] half my life belongs to the wild darkness.” According to my reading of the astrological omens, now is a good time for you, too, to refresh your awe and reverence for the wild darkness – and to recall that half your life belongs to it. Doing so will bring you another experience Kinnell describes: “an inexplicable sense of joy, as if some happy news had been transmitted to me directly, bypassing the brain.”

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) The last time I walked into a McDonald’s and ordered a meal was 1984. Nothing that the restaurant chain serves up is appealing to my taste or morality. I do admire its adaptability, however. In cow-loving India, McDonald’s only serves vegetarian fare that includes deep-fried cheese and potato patties. In Israel, kosher McFalafels are available. Mexicans order their McMuffins with refried beans and pico de gallo. At a McDonald’s in Singapore, you can order McRice burgers. This is the type of approach I advise for you right now. Adjust your offerings for your audience.

Orange County Animal Services has the perfect pooch for you.

Meet Sugar (animal Id: a245433)!

She’s a 7-year-old dog who loves attention and treats. Sugar cannot get enough time outside enjoying the Florida sunshine. She knows how to walk on a leash, sit on command and she gets along with other dogs. During the month of October all dog adoption fees are waived when the microchip is registered onsite for $9.95. Having an up-to-date, registered microchip is the best way to reunite with your pet if they are ever lost. If you’d like to microchip your personal dog or cat, you can do so in the clinic for $15, Monday through Friday from 1 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. orange County animal Services is located at 2769 Conroy road. Visit ocnetpets.com for more information.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You have been flirting with your “alone at the top” reveries. I won’t be surprised if one night you have a dream of riding on a Ferris wheel that malfunctions, leaving you stranded at the highest point. What’s going on? Here’s what I suspect: In one sense you are zesty and farseeing. Your competence and confidence are waxing. At the same time, you may be out of touch with what’s going on at ground level. Your connection to the depths is not as intimate as your relationship with the heights. The moral of the story might be to get in closer contact with your roots.

Or be more attentive to your support system. Or buy new shoes and underwear.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) I haven’t planted a garden for years. My workload is too intense to devote enough time to that pleasure. So eight weeks ago I was surprised when a renegade sunflower began blooming in the dirt next to my porch. How did the seed get there? Via the wind? A passing bird that dropped a potential meal? The gorgeous interloper eventually grew to a height of four feet and produced a boisterous yellow flower head. Every day I muttered a prayer of thanks for its guerrilla blessing. I predict a comparable phenomenon for you in the coming days.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) The coming days will be a favorable time to dig up what has been buried. You can, if you choose, discover hidden agendas, expose deceptions, see beneath the masks, and dissolve delusions. But it’s my duty to ask you this: Is that really something you want to do? It would be fun and sexy to liberate so much trapped emotion and suppressed energy, but it could also stir up a mind-bending ruckus that propels you on a healing quest. I hope you decide to go for the gusto, but I’ll understand if you prefer to play it safe.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) The editors of the Urban Dictionary provide a unique definition of the word “outside.” They say it’s a vast, uncomfortable place that surrounds your home. It has no ceiling or walls or carpets, and contains annoying insects and random loud noises. There’s a big yellow ball in the sky that’s always moving around and changing the temperature in inconvenient ways. Even worse, the “outside” is filled with strange people that are constantly doing deranged and confusing things.

Does this description match your current sense of what “outside” means, Cancerian? If so, that’s OK. For now, enjoy the hell out of being inside.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) If I could give you a birthday present, it would be a map to your future treasure. Do you know which treasure I’m referring to? Think about it as you fall asleep on the next eight nights. I’m sorry I can’t simply provide you with the instructions you’d need to locate it. The cosmic powers tell me you have not yet earned that right. The second-best gift I can offer, then, will be clues about how to earn it. Clue #1. Meditate on the differences between what your ego wants and what your soul needs. #2. Ask yourself, “What is the most unripe part of me?” and then devise a plan to ripen it. #3. Invite your deep mind to give you insights you haven’t been brave enough to work with until now. #4. Take one mediumsized bold action every day.

B Y D A N S AVA G E I’m a gay man who is ready to start cheating on my boyfriend. We’ve had a wonderful 3.5-year-long relationship full of respect, affection, support and fun. I love everything about our relationship, and our sex life was great … until he moved in eight months into the relationship. At that point, he lost all interest. I’ve tried everything: asking what I can do differently, being more aggressive, being more passive, suggesting couples therapy, getting angry, crying and breaking up twice. When I bring up an open relationship, he just goes quiet. I’ve moved past most of the anger, frustration, hurt, embarrassment and sadness. But I won’t accept a life of celibacy. I would like to get some discreet play on the side. I don’t want to get caught – but how should the conversation go if (when) I do?

I’m leaning toward something like this: “I’m sorry it came to this and I know we agreed on monogamy, and I gave you monogamy for 3.5 years, but part of agreeing to monogamy is the implicit promise to meet your partner’s sexual needs. Everything else about our relationship is wonderful, but we couldn’t fix this one thing, so instead of continuing to push the issue, this is what I decided to do.”

Good enough?

Can’t Help Exploring Another Tush

The speech you’re planning to give after you get caught is lovely, CHEAT, but you should give it before you get caught. Tell your boyfriend you love him and that you have no desire to leave him. But while your relationship is wonderful in many ways, it’s not sexual in any way. And while you’ll settle for a companionate relationship, you’re not willing to settle for a sexless existence.

Rather than being threatened by your occasional, discreet and safe sexual adventures, your boyfriend should be grateful for them. Because those sexual adventures, and your boyfriend’s acceptance of them, will make it possible for you to stay together. Hopefully he’ll see that the men you’ll be fucking on the side aren’t a threat to your relationship but its salvation.

If your boyfriend can’t see that, if he insists that your relationship remain monogamous and sexless (wouldn’t that technically mean he’s the only person you don’t have sex with?), give breaking up another try. The third time might be the charm.

I’m a woman in a hetero marriage. My husband and I enjoy skimming the Craigslist “casual encounters” section. We recently stumbled on an ad posted by a male friend. The ad was soliciting gay mutual BJ/HJ, with the stipulation that the first one to come (the loser?) gets fucked in the ass by the other (the winner?). Other than the concept of winners and losers during sex, I’ve got no issues.

The thing that gnaws at my conscience is this: Our friend is a young guy, bi-curious and impulsive. I worry about our friend’s risky behavior. Do I say something? I care about this guy, but I don’t want to come off as “mommy” or “creepy.”

Dude’s Extremely Risky Plan Elevates Stress

My first impulse was to tell you to mind your own business because you don’t actually know if your friend is taking foolish risks. He could be using condoms, taking Truvada and carefully vetting his play partners. But if I spotted a friend’s

dick on Craigslist in an ad that left me the least bit concerned for his safety, I would say something. I don’t mind coming off as “mommy,” and if looking out for your friends is “creepy,” then I’m a creep.

I’d go with something like this: “I spotted your ad – and your cock – on CL. What you’re looking for sounds hot. But I hope you’re being safe: using condoms, being choosy, taking Truvada.

And speaking from experience, getting fucked right after you come sounds sexy in theory, but it’s not much fun in reality. So I hope you’re taking a refractory-period-length break – maybe for ice cream? – before the loser gets fucked.”

I’m a gay man in my late 20s, and I can’t get fucked. I have tried to train my ass, but the largest thing I can place inside remains a small butt plug.

If I try anything bigger, the pain is unbearable. I’ve always been a very anxious person, and it’s clear my anxiety goes right to that area. Sometimes, after trying to place something larger inside me (using tons of lube, of course), I will get a hemorrhoid. Since those are horrible, I think my mind has started to associate any type of anal play with getting hemorrhoids. The problem is that I feel like I’m a bottom. Yes, I will top guys, and I don’t mind it, but I find that the men to whom I’m most attracted want to fuck me, which is something I would like.

I feel like my relationships/hookups are all negatively affected by my inability to get fucked.

Determined Efforts Fully Enrage Anal Tissues

“Anxiety and fear can definitely make those muscles tighten up. And unfortunately, worrying about pain during sex makes it worse,” says Charlie Glickman, sexuality educator and author of The Ultimate Guide to Prostate Pleasure (makesexeasy.com). “His hemorrhoids are probably caused by the anus squeezing really hard and trapping blood in the arteries inside the anus.”

So what can you do to alleviate your anxiety, fear and squeezing? “The first thing for him to do is use a salve on the skin around and inside the anus,” says Glickman. “Apply it after washing, and it doesn’t take much. It’s like putting lip balm on dry lips. Cocoa butter or coconut oil work well.

I also like the golden seal and myrrh formula by Country Comfort. Apply it twice a day.”

Give those balms some time to work before you start exploring again. Then breathe deeply, take it slow and play with your cock. “Arousal helps,” says Glickman, “so he should be sure to include cock pleasure before going near his anus. It’ll also help if he explores external anal massage without going inside. That can help his body unwind the tension and let go of the flinch response. … Look for the anal massage how-to videos on eroticmassage.com.”

Enjoy a few dozen orgasms with your ass in play but not the focus and you’ll begin to associate anal stimulation with pleasure and victory, not pain and hemorrhoids. Then you can give penetration another go: taking time to warm up, using lots of lube, pivoting to something else if it’s too painful.
