BY MON IVETTE COR D EI R O

T

he Orlando skyline is gray and gloomy the Tuesday morning that Carlos Baerga arrives from Puerto

Rico.

A few moments after getting off a plane at Orlando International Airport, the 20-year-old and his mother have stopped for some cafecito and a bite at one of the area’s best-known Boricua restaurants, Melao Bakery. In mere hours, they uprooted their life in the mountainous municipality of Jayuya to join the mass exodus of Puerto Ricans who are fleeing from the financial crisis on the island to the U.S., especially to Central Florida.

“I’ve been here before, so I kind of already knew what it would be like,” he says as he looks out the window toward the rain. “But I’m already feeling a little homesick.”

By the end of 2014, 64,000 Puerto Ricans had migrated from the commonwealth to the mainland, and the amount of empty homes rose to 22 percent, according to the island’s Institute of Statistics.

Thousands continued to leave into 2015 as Gov. Alejandro Padilla declared that the territory had $72 billion in “unpayable” debt and was close to an economic death spiral.

“What we have seen in the last two years is a shift toward desperation,” says Dr. Luis Martínez-Fernández, a history professor at the University of Central Florida.

“People are saying ‘Let’s leave next week, forget about the house’ or ‘I’ll find a job when I get there.’ This crisis doesn’t seem to have a solution any time soon.”

As the situation worsens, Congress has opposed pleas from Puerto Rican representatives and activists to allow the colony to use bankruptcy protections permitted for states. It’s important to note here that Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens, and although we allow them to enroll in the military and fight in our wars, they’re not allowed to vote for U.S. president. Or have a voting representative in Congress. Or receive the same amount of Medicare and Medicaid funding. The list is pretty long.

In the midst of this turmoil, some local Puerto Rican politicians in Central Florida’s Ninth Congressional District saw a bright spot. More migration into the district, which stretches south from east Orlando to encompass Osceola County and ends near the Yeehaw Junction, presents a body of new voters who could help the Florida diaspora become a stronger force in Washington. But growing lungs for a voice isn’t easy, and Florida’s

2010, partly because the surge of Puerto Rican migration swelled the population, says Dr. Rick Foglesong, a political science professor at Rollins College.

Since the first wave of Puerto Ricans came to Central Florida in the 1970s when Walt Disney World opened, the population in Osceola and Orange counties has exploded, leading some to call it the new “Mecca” for Boricuas moving from the island and northern states. The number of Puerto Ricans on the mainland (4.9 million) eclipsed the population on the island (3.5 million) in 2012, according to the Pew Research Center. In Florida, the population is projected to hit 1 million soon, and about 400,000 Puerto Ricans are estimated to live just in Central Florida, according to the Center for Puerto Rican Studies at the City University of New York.

In 2011, Foglesong and a student were studying changing voting patterns in the Interstate 4 corridor and found a strong correlation between the Latino migration to the area and an increase in Democrats, with the correlation being most pronounced in Osceola County. In the “swing part of the swing state,” the Puerto Rican community has neutralized Republican Cubans in South Florida and become the political power that determines national

congressional redistricting debacle and problems with Puerto Rican voter registration could make it harder.

C

ircuit Court Judge Terry Lewis had a month to make a decision that would alter the political landscape of an entire state and kill a political career, or two.

He’s in this position after Florida legislators, who were forced to redraw district lines because the Florida Supreme Court caught them gerrymandering districts to favor Republicans and incumbents, could not agree if they would choose the map from the House or the Senate. on a map.

Through several days of drama in court, Lewis examined one map from the House, two maps from the Senate and four maps from plaintiffs in the original lawsuit. On Friday, he rejected maps from the Florida Legislature and chose one of the maps drawn by the plaintiffs, which include the League of Women Voters and Common Cause of Florida. Ultimately, Lewis’ recommendation will go to the Florida Supreme Court for a final review.

A major source of contention between House and Senate legislators was where to draw the boundaries for the Ninth Congressional District. The district as we know it today didn’t exist until Florida gained two more congressional seats in orlandoweekly.com

elections.

The new Democratic-leaning congressional district was created to be a minority-access seat for the Latino-based electorate, but U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson won election in 2012 and re-election in 2014, presumably on the strength of his liberal politics, Foglesong says. Puerto Rican candidates, like John Quinones, have run for the seat as Republicans, but lost in the primaries.

The recent redistricting showdown in Tallahassee has done a “disservice” to Latinos in Central Florida, says Matthew Isbell, a Democratic data consultant for Politico. The Legislature’s base map divides the group between Ninth, Tenth and Seventh Congressional Districts, and adds white voters from Polk County.

Using the base map, the Latino share of the 2014 Democratic primary is low in a district where they made up the majority (almost 46 percent) in 2013. An amendment by Sen. Tom Lee in the Senate map changed the boundaries to take in more Latino voters and lose parts of Polk County, bringing the Latino share in the Democratic primary from 21 percent to 26 percent, making it a minority-coalition

district, Isbell says.

The plaintiff map chosen by Lewis on Friday is very similar to the House map except for some parts of South Florida. In Central Florida, the House Map and the plaintiff map altered District 10, currently held by Rep. Daniel Webster, to be more Latino and lean Democrat.

For this reason, Isbell preferred the Senate map because it did a better job at keeping Latinos concentrated in District 9 where they could influence primaries.

He adds that legislators should have taken into consideration Central Florida’s Puerto Rican population growth and given the population more influence in upcoming elections because if they aren’t able to elect someone now, the Puerto Rican community will have to wait until 2022 to get a seat.

Another roadblock affecting the Puerto Rican vote is that many register as having no party affiliation because they know little about how the political parties work on the mainland, says Vivian Rodriguez, president of the Democratic Hispanic Caucus of Florida. In Osceola County on Sept. 24, the majority of Latinos registered were listed as Democrats at 33,773, but 27,400 were registered as no party affiliation, says Amber Smith, commu-

nity relations coordinator for the Osceola County Supervisor of Elections office.

Smith adds that these numbers are extremely fluid and may not be representative of the entire demographic because people are not required to state their race or nationality on voter-registration forms.

Registering as having no affiliation shuts Latinos out of the state’s closed primaries, Rodriguez says, which is where many Puerto Rican candidates in Central Florida have lost. Election day in Puerto Rico is also treated as a national holiday, with festivals and caravans, which many attribute to the island having a higher national voter turnout. The key to getting through this block is by educating the local Puerto Rican community on voting rules, she says.

“The people in this community want to see someone who looks like them and knows the struggles we are facing, before and after campaign season,” Rodriguez says. “We’re very excited for that chance.”

When U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson put in his bid for presidential hopeful Marco Rubio’s seat in the Senate, a flurry of candidates expressed interest in representing the largely Latino community of the Ninth Congressional District.

Among the contenders is heavyweight

Susannah Randolph, a well-known progressive in the area and district director for Grayson. She’s already won endorsements from high-profile movers and shakers in Central Florida, like former Rep. Patricia Schroeder, the first woman elected to Congress in Colorado, and attorney John Morgan of Morgan & Morgan, who’s one of the biggest local donors to the Democratic Party. In a statement Randolph says she has spent her career registering Latinos and African Americans to vote, insuring their votes are counted. She adds that most of the 70,000 Orange County voters she helped register in 2008 were from Puerto Rico.

“As a Congresswoman, I will ensure that those efforts continue and that Puerto Ricans who are moving to Central Florida are able to easily find their voice in our political process and that their interests are well represented,” she says.

Valleri Crabtree, former Osceola County Democratic chair, and Dr. Dena Minning, a biochemist and Grayson’s girlfriend, have also registered as Democratic candidates. Crabtree feels she can represent the Puerto Rican community, saying she has educated herself on the issues plaguing CONTINUED ON PAGE 11

the island for the past couple years.

“I’m making a strong commitment to the Puerto Rican population and other Hispanic cultures to not only demonstrate that I care, but also become knowledgeable about the challenges they face,” she says. “Just because I’m a woman, I don’t expect other women to vote for me, so I trust the community would vote for the most qualified person who will do the best job.”

Puerto Ricans also have the opportunity in 2016 to elect the first Puerto Rican congressional representative from Florida.

The favorite among local Puerto Rican Democrats is Florida Sen. Darren Soto.

Other Puerto Rican candidates who are said to be vying for the seat but have not yet registered include one Democrat, former state Rep. Ricardo Rangel, and two Republicans, state Rep. Mike La Rosa, R-St. Cloud, and Kissimmee Vice Mayor Wanda Rentas.

Only one Republican candidate, Wayne Liebnitzky, has filed with Florida’s Department of State to run, says Osceola County Republican chairman Mark Oxner.

Oxner adds that in past years, his party has put forth many Republican Latino candi-

dates to run against Democrats.

“Politically, we have good Hispanic candidates for this upcoming race,” he says.

“I mean, what’s the point of having a majority Hispanic area if Hispanics aren’t representing them?”

At a September political fundraiser in downtown Kissimmee’s Buchito, the smell of empanadas and Cuban sandwiches wafted over donors waiting for Soto. The Orlando lawyer, who’s said to work across the aisle, told political allies his priorities include bringing high-paying jobs to the area, diversifying the local economy and protecting the environment. But as many people reiterated through the night, it’s equally important to send one of their own to Congress and finally have a seat at the table. Puerto Rican representatives don’t just represent their constituents on the mainland, Dr. Luis Martínez-Fernández says. In a way, they’re also a voice for those on the island who have been denied a voting member of Congress.

“The fact that I could be the first has been inescapable to me,” Soto says.

“We’ve waited decades for representation. Hopefully one of the Puerto Rican candidates from Florida can be a member of Congress. It will be a historic election.” mcordeiro@orlandoweekly.com

F

ans of Creative City Project in years past were treated to a new use of our downtown. Orlando’s hot concrete sidewalks softened a bit to nurture artistic expression, and art and music got a chance to blossom when the work day was done.

But this year, Creative City Project takes over a swath of downtown on a Saturday night, and the number of artists is bigger than before, an immersive feast for the eye and the ear. Artists in all disciplines will line Orange Avenue, performing in settings that allow audiences to see their art up close and personal.

The brains behind Creative City Project, Cole NeSmith, speaks to us breathlessly in between final-countdown craziness.

“Compared to last year, we’ve upped our game and the public will see some amazing and experimental things,” he says.

With new sponsorships, Creative City Project 2015 will have more bandwidth.

NeSmith has staged eight different venues for artists and musicians, with sidewalk installations in between. This year, viewers can venture into a maze of 10 art trucks,

with artists beckoning you inside to see their installations. The “Ryder Interactive Village” hosts dancers, painters, makers, graffiti artists, poets and even NeSmith himself, who will direct a sound and light show through filtered haze within one truck’s interior.

“There’s no doubt that this year is a big step forward from last year. We’ve continued to develop the interactive and immersive elements,” he says. “We want to give people experiences they can’t have anywhere else … and people will definitely notice an increase in size and scale when it comes to the production value of the performances. We’re continuing to grow with the size of our audience while maintaining a value for intimacy – getting people as close to the art as possible.”

A Celebration of Latin-Hispanic Culture kicks off the event on the North Mainstage on Orange near Jefferson Street, after which Ravé Mehta’s Flow dancers, the Cook Trio, Orlando Ballet, 2nd Sight Dance and more follow. At the same time, on the Fairwinds Stage anchoring the south end of the festival at Orange and Central, the Human Experience will crank it up, followed by USA Dance, Selah, Renaiszance EDM group, the Mud Flappers, Cirque du Soleil, Emotions Dance, the Red Bull BC One B-boys and many more. You’ll just

have to choose where to start shaking it and then work your way to the other end.

Downloading the Creative City Project iPhone app will help keep you on track.

In between, several more stages and stations intervene. At Washington Street, the 100-player CFCArts orchestra will be spaced far enough apart for pedestrians to wander between violas and trombones, an intimate way to experience classical music; later in the evening, Masami Koshikawa reprises her Butterfly Woman performance from Art in Odd Places, within a vignette of Japanese dance and poetry. At Wall Street, Deborah Knispel will present a human tableau re-creating Gustav Klimt’s famous orlandoweekly.com

painting “The Kiss.” The silk dancers of Orlando Aerial Arts will sway above Orange Avenue at Robinson Street. Between Central and Washington, Orlando City SC players will create a mural by kicking paintdipped soccer balls at a wall.

“We believe that the Creative City Project can shape the global perception of our city as one known for creativity and innovation,” NeSmith says, though he admits, “Being the linchpin for hundreds of artists is sort of intense.” So artists will claim, for an evening, their right to the city, and there is nothing stopping us from extending this claim a little bit longer. arts@orlandoweekly.com OCT. 14-20, 2015

Facing Halloween Horror Nights hoi-polloi style – no early access, no lineskipping – is the scariest challenge of all Orlando’s haunted amusements are again awash in virtual victims of violence: psycho-stabbing victims, chainsaw-massacre victims, zombie-virus victims, etc. etc.

But truly, the most tragic victims are the type that popular Halloween events risk turning into – victims of their own success.

I began attending Universal Orlando’s Halloween Horror Nights in 1996, and until 2015 I hadn’t missed an opening weekend in almost a decade; to say I was a hard-core HHN fan would be an understatement. Over recent years, I’ve been spoiled by VIP media tours and Frequent Fear Plus with Express seasonal passes, which allowed me to admire the artistry behind the anarchy while insulating me from the insane overcrowding that ordinary guests experience. But for the 25th edition of Halloween Horror Nights, I confronted the scariest challenge of all: experiencing as much of HHN as I could in a single night, sans early access or line-skipping privileges, as the majority of ticket-buyers must.

Once upon a time, you could count on certain HHN event nights – say, the first Sunday in October – to be slow enough

to have some elbow room. I knew those days were gone for good when I entered the park shortly after the gates opened, even before the official start time, and saw the queue for the closest maze was already nearly an hour long. The second clue was a quickly announced 2 a.m. extension, hours once reserved for busy weekends – so much for “off-peak” evenings.

By hustling ahead of the rapidly surging crowd, I squeezed in three mazes within the first two hours; once wait times for the popular haunts hit 100 minutes, I retreated to Diagon Alley (Blishen’s Fire Whisky and short waits for Gringotts are a dangerous combination), the scarezones (I loved the vignettes re-creating past Icons’ advertisements) and the shows. This year’s Bill & Ted satire has some of the sharpest barbs yet from writer-director Jason Horne, aimed not only at Mickey but Universal itself. It’s outdone by The Carnage Returns, a cirque du sangre of gory illusions and gyrating aerial acrobatics; star turns from James Keaton as killer clown Jack Schmidt and Erin Nicole Cline as harlequin henchgal Chance elevate this assault on good taste to among Universal’s best-ever entertainments.

I explored more mazes as exhausted guests began exiting after midnight, eventually stepping into that first queue I saw just as the event ended, almost eight hours after I arrived. After a quarter-century of anticipation, the mazes themselves were a

mixed bag, offering either exquisite theming or intense scares, but rarely an ideal balance of both. The bloody Body Collectors/ Psychoscareapy mashup is one of my new all-time favorite mazes; the 25th anniversary house delivers fantastic fan service (though, sadly, no S.S. Frightanic tribute); and The Purge uses audience plants with audacious effectiveness, despite lackluster sets. But Freddy vs. Jason was a letdown, with cheesy corpse props and ill-conceived alternating endings, and The Walking Dead is by far the worst haunt yet under that franchise; the hyped “flooded” scene is simply a couple of kiddie wading pools.

In the end, I experienced only seven of the nine houses, walking 20,000 steps and standing in line a total of four hours for under 30 minutes of frights. Even with resident discounts of up to 50 percent, that’s an untenable price-to-pain ratio. I know HHN is still a passion project for creative director Mike Aiello and his team, but it’s high time the entertainment department that started HHN (saving USF from financial disaster in its first decade) retook the event’s reins from Universal’s marketing department, which has been the tail wagging this hellhound for far too long. Then force Uni’s top execs to use the standby lines on a Saturday night, and I’d bet we’d finally see some genuine innovation in queue management and ticket structures before next Halloween rolls around.

If you want to see what personal passion freed from bureaucratic bungling can build, The Shallow Grave in Winter Haven equals or improves on HHN’s houses in every area except expensive intellectual property.

When Shallow Grave started in 2013, I ballyhooed it as Central Florida’s best-kept secret; word must be out, because they now need a paid parking lot across the street to handle the crowds. Even so, wait times for their two haunts barely hit a half-hour, and each is more than double the length of Universal’s usual maze; at a quarter of HHN’s gate price, it’s a better value in time and money even taking into account the hourlong drive each way.

Both the original Haunted Hills house and ADHD (which debuted last year) have been tweaked with new terrifying twists, like an asylum scene and eerie oversized dolls. As before, these maniacs aren’t shy about mauling you with an animatronic tentacle or grabbing your ankles as you flee. And effects Universal has deemed too tactile, like saturated shit scents and claustrophobic squeeze tunnels, are still ickily intact here. With plans to expand next season by 4,000 square feet, I only pray Shallow Grave doesn’t fall prey to the success that has swallowed HHN. skubersky@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

James and Julie Petrakis and partner Johnny “Not the 4 Rivers Guy” Rivers have, ahem, landed a space inside Terminal 2 of Orlando International Airport for an outpost of their Cask & Larder. A similar menu to the Winter Park restaurant, adapted to meet the needs of travelers, will be offered. Look for a summer 2016 opening.

Florida’s own Art Smith, a James Beard Award winner and Oprah’s former personal chef, will open a farm-toforker at Disney Springs next year. The name of the restaurant, much like the Southern fare he’ll serve, is a mouthful – Homecoming: Florida Kitchen and Southern Shine.

Stone washed Chef Dominic Rice fires up safe, seasonal fare in a handsome room at Dr. Phillips’ Slate

a

fter three visits to Slate (yet another restaurant employing shouty ALL CAPS in its branding), one oddity revealed itself: There doesn’t appear to be any actual slate used in the design of the restaurant’s interior or exterior. That peculiar fact seems lost on the dolled-up clientele at this popular Dr. Phillips sup spot, many of whom appear preoccupied with seeing and being seen, with nary a thought to spare for a metamorphic rock.

Yes, being riddled with sidelong glances as you enter the dining room is an unavoidable initiation here, but the reward is a meal inside one of the more handsome restaurants in the city and the competent fare fired up by executive chef Dominic Rice and his capable staff.

The heavy hitters behind the restaurant – Chuck Whittall of Unicorp National Developments and Bob Amick of Atlantabased Concentrics Restaurants – seemed bent on building the quintessential “Dr. Phillips restaurant” and, by all indications, they succeeded. The Johnson Studio, which worked on the interior spaces of both Luma and Prato, did a fine job in Slate’s design, and when the weather is right, there’s no

better place to sit than next to the open accordion windows fronting a faux babbling brook. We had the pleasure of dining quasi-al fresco the first night said windows were opened – they had been shut since the restaurant opened in early June.

The fare? Well, it’s safe. That is, it’s seasonal, well-executed and lightly trendy, but there’s nothing too out of the ordinary for Sand Lake Road’s Westenders. Case in point: Green tomatoes ($7) were cleaved into half-moons before being battered, fried and served with a raita of sorts that provided a literal and figurative spice.

The focal point of the dining room is the enormous wood-fired oven; the sheen from the copper encasing the fire chamber likely blinded me, causing me to wrongly assume all items listed under the menu header “Dough” were pizzas. Then again, I would’ve been surprised, certainly intrigued, had gnocchi Bolognese ($16) been slathered all over a pie and served to me. That said, the wee dumplings were perfect, and the short rib Bolognese utterly stellar. Pizzas, by the way, are oak-fired at 650 degrees and cooked in about five minutes – not as fast as the oven at Bavaro’s in Winter Springs, but fast enough. On a separate lunchtime visit, I quite enjoyed sitting at the bar in front of the oven while chomping on the finocchiona pie ($14) with its

fennel-seed-flavored salami, shaved fennel, marinated tomatoes and oregano. Service seemed to lag a bit at lunch, which was odd considering the room was half-empty.

Our experience at dinner has been far more positive, be it the service or the steak – a succulent flatiron ($24), to be specific – served on a tree-ring plate. I did have issues with the Key West tilefish ($26), however.

A heavy spice rub, pickled mustard seeds and a Meyer lemon aioli overwhelmed the fish’s delicate, lobster-like flavor. Less is more with tilefish.

On the libationary front, Slate’s healthy wine list is worth noting. A sommelier friend of mine applauded the list’s coverage and range, noting how it stayed in people’s comfort zones without being prosaic. Saucy sticky toffee pudding ($7) with maple-malt ice cream is certainly an ending within the zones of comfort, but the dry and crumbly brioche doughnut ($7) was a resounding fail. No worries – you can always wipe your dessert slate clean and purchase a box of kouigns-amann from Trader Joe’s next door. Trust me, you won’t regret it.

OPENINGS In addition to dropping the “Bar & Grill” from their name, Tabla has expanded their Indian menu to include Chinese and Thai cuisine … Bistro Le Coq au Vin (in the space formerly occupied by Bistro Cloclo) is now in soft opening mode …

The Boathouse Monstrous house of boating paraphernalia and seaside eats is the proverbial anchor in the restaurant makeover at Disney Springs.

Just as vast is the selection of seafood and steak items offered at inflated prices. Lobster cocktail and middleneck clams from Cedar Key make a nice start, though you might want to consult Seafood Watch prior to ordering the catch of the day. Steaks are stellar; desserts (like Key lime pie in a Mason jar and berry-coulis-saturated chocolate bundt cake) are not. Open daily. 1620 E. Buena Vista Drive, Lake Buena Vista, 407-939-2628; $$$$

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. 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, 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, $ n

Opening this week Bridge of Spies The Coen brothers worked on the screenplay for this Steven Spielberg Cold War drama, in which a Brooklyn lawyer (Tom Hanks) works to gain the freedom of American pilot/spy Francis Gary Powers. You remember Powers: He was the guy who was shot down over the Soviet Union and became the center of an international controversy. (We called it “the U-2 incident” back before that term referred to Bono’s luggage.) Production note: Shot on the one block in Brooklyn that hasn’t gotten a Pinkberry since 1960. (PG-13) Crimson Peak Hey, Guillermo del Toro actually made another movie!

And of course, it isn’t one of the ones he said he was going to make that you actually wanted to see. In place of The Haunted Mansion or Justice League Dark, step right up and settle for Crimson Peak, a melding of Gothic romance and Gothic horror in which a young bride discovers that her new husband’s family is harboring an otherworldly secret. Try not to dwell on how comfortable they’d probably all feel living in the Haunted Mansion. Or what a great case this would make for the Justice League Dark. Did I mention I’m bitter?

Trivia note: One of two films opening wide this week with a novelist as a major character. Bonus trivia note: The only film opening wide

this week in which we are expected to be surprised that marrying Tom Hiddleston has a downside. (R) Goosebumps In the mood for a brilliant analogy? Then try this one on for size: R.L. Stine is the Bernie Sanders of supernatural youth fiction. I mean, think about it – they’re both sincere, visionary, homely little Jews who did the heavy lifting so a blond shiksa could waltz in and reap the real benefits. (And yes, that does indeed make J.K. Rowling Hillary Clinton, because each rose to the apex of her field without a man around the house.) Stine seldom gets the credit he deserves for having used the cheap thrills of genre narrative to get young people invested in reading before they had ever heard of Harry Potter. So it’s reassuring to know there’s still enough interest in his work to justify a feature film. The Goosebumps movie centers on a massive attack by some of Stine’s most fearsome creations, including Slappy the Dummy, the Giant Praying Mantises and the Invisible Goy (I mean, uh, “boy”). And even if the movie itself ends up sucking sawdust, it does my heart good to know that the thing even exists. In fact, it almost makes we wish there was going to be another Twilight movie, just so I could explain why Stephenie Meyer is the Elizabeth Warren of crap. (PG)

as much as the world is making progress to move beyond these issues, it’s important to remember the struggles that brought them to light.

Detective Laurel Hester is a valuable member of the Ocean City (New Jersey) Police Department. Her partner, Dane (Michael Shannon), is a womanizer, but cares for Laurel and genuinely likes her as a person. Laurel’s secret is that she’s a lesbian; after a meet-cute with Stacie (Ellen Page) at a volleyball game they fall in love, buy a house together, get a dog, etc. They are as settled as any married couple can be, but it’s 2002 and gay marriage is not yet legal. This becomes a pertinent issue

●

when Laurel is diagnosed with terminal lung cancer, and the local government says her pension cannot be passed on to Stacie.

Without the help of the pension, Stacie will lose their home after Laurel dies.

So begins the main focus of the movie, which is the struggle Laurel and Stacie face for equal rights. After all, they argue, if a heterosexual cop dies, his or her spouse would receive the pension no questions asked, so why shouldn’t it be the same for a homosexual couple?

Unfortunately the town governing body, known as “freeholders,” don’t agree and deny Laurel’s request to allow Stacie to receive her pension.

Dane helps them fight the injustice, as does Stephen (Steve Carell), the leader of a group called Garden State Equality. Carell plays the character with great energy that appropriately offsets the story’s otherwise dour proceedings.

As we expect, Julianne Moore is fabulous here. Fresh off her Oscar-winning turn playing an Alzheimer’s patient in Still Alice, she transforms from a strong and able detective into a frail, dying woman who seeks peace of mind and justice. It’s ironic, of course, that Laurel fought for justice her entire career, only to endure a notable lack of it toward the end of her life.

Page is solid as Laurel’s significant other, but what’s interesting is that the focus moves away from Laurel and Stacie’s relationship and onto their fight for equal rights. It’s a bit of an abrupt transition, and director Peter Sollett (Nick and Norah’s

Infinite Playlist), working from a script by Ron Nyswaner (Philadelphia), doesn’t succeed in making it smooth. It’s like a two-act play without an intermission.

Here’s another issue: It’s not Laurel and Stacie who do the fighting, and they really can’t, what with Laurel’s quickly deteriorating condition. So the fight manifests in the best way it possibly could when rallying support for a cause: from the public at large. Men, women, children, black, white, doesn’t matter. Only the pigheaded white men with power (not all of them, but most) don’t see the injustice of the policies at hand.

It’s inspiring to see the support Laurel and Stacie receive, but things get murky when Steven broadens the fight beyond what Laurel and Stacie desire, which distorts the integrity of the fight. Put another way, all Laurel wants is for Stacie to receive her pension, and we want that too because we saw them become a loving couple. When larger elements such as marriage equality are added to the equation we become less emotionally invested, which in an odd way isn’t fair to Laurel and Stacie.

Freeheld is based on a true story, and it’s being promoted as a story that was a precursor to gay marriage being approved nationwide. That may be so. It also may just be a marketing tool. Regardless, on its own terms – and not necessarily as a sociopolitical statement – it is an emotional drama that allows us to invest in its characters and root for the right thing.

The real Stacie Andree told Ellen Page that it was cool to meet her and Moore, but that she had a hard time getting excited about the movie because it “wouldn’t exist if Laurel hadn’t died.”

Q

uit trying to come up with a slogan that explains why Orlando is cool.

We don’t need a tag to verify our culture. When you tap into something authentic and organic, something selfsustaining through invested interest, something that grows more rapidly than grass in the Florida summer because it’s actually a wild thing – that’s not an experience that demands a catchy phrase to attract some banal outsider. It’s where you take your real friends to escape the tired manufactured bar staples, the false nightlife perks.

We don’t have to pretend Orlando is a worthwhile place when it comes to our music scene. It speaks for itself. Whether it’s a hundred punks packing into Uncle Lou’s or a massive block party bumping out of the Milk District back lot, Orlando thrives by providing unique niche scenes you can embed yourself in for maximum reward or just drop in on to freak up your norm.

Not sure where to turn to tap into one of these scenes? We’ve got you covered. Track through these interviews with local scenemakers to discover new spots, new artists and for the uninitiated: an entirely new side of our city.

There’s even more to Orlando’s underground than what we’ve documented here – including steady grooves at Tanqueray’s, the tender talent incubator of Red Lion Pub, the brashly out-there knock-outs at warehouse venue the Space Station – which only furthers the point that when your music scene is this rich in substance, it’s only natural to find yourself at a loss for words to genuinely capture it.

Meet Orlando’s Colours of the Culture Colours of the Culture is much more than just Niko Is’ go-to crew of artists and thinkers, but a legitimate movement seeking to express thoughtful, engaged perspectives through different media at the global level. And it’s working. They’ve attracted hip-hop legend Talib Kweli to join their fold (and boost their music through his label Javotti Media and Colours of the Culture features on Uproxx, The Source and Vibe), which accordions out around the world to create what Niko Is refers to as the special spice of the collective’s united diversity.

Here in Orlando, though, we get to see a more concentrated and broader spectrum of Colours of the Culture, since the movement began at Dr. Phillips High School with Niko Is and Thanks Joey (plus pals Krikos and YoustheJuice) as young teens squirming to hone their talents. Last year’s Brutus LP stands as testament to their continued collaborative force, as Niko Is relies on Thanks Joey to steer his sound as producer for almost all his tracks. Thanks Joey’s Brazilian samples pair so well with Niko’s respect-commanding flow because these guys go way back, and they look out for each other. (Plus, you know, they’re also mad talented.)

Thanks Joey is a leader and founding member of Colours of the Culture.

Other locals involved with Colours of the Culture include Townsky (drummer), Truly Def (rapper, apparel designer), Krikos (producer), Federico Pena (sound engineer), Palmer Reed (R&B artist), YoustheJuice (artist) and Henry Daher (producer, drummer; also involved with promotion force Dope Entertainment).

n a late summer night, Bullitt Bar is mobbed with bodies rigidly avoiding contact. The air is heavy.

At the end of the bar, a DJ fidgets. Then Niko Is bounds out and throws an arm around a guy who’s just joined him onstage.

Niko Is lifts his arm and it’s like we’re all strung to his fingers. We collectively pull toward him. With an easy stage presence and this mad-charming bounce, he opens into his first song while laser lights attempt to compete with his natural electricity. The room responds, dancing freely with fluid gratitude. The rapper jokes and thanks his imaginary band from his new position in the crowd. Everyone laughs with him. It’s joyful in that room, pungent with the kind of camaraderie that makes a lonely onlooker press his nose up to the glass. That’s how an atmosphere transitions when Niko Is combusts a scene with his pop-up shows.

A Niko Is show isn’t typically on the books.

There are no books – just whatever storyline he wants to feed Orlando on any given night.

“I get autonomy,” Niko Is says of performing in offbeat locales like Reilly’s Pub and Bullitt Bar. “I get to do whatever the fuck I want. I don’t have to answer to nobody.

I could throw a show the night before and have a random band, play with people that I’ve never played with. And I love that. It’s real freeing to just do whatever the fuck you want and not have to follow a script. A lot of these other venues, they don’t really care about community. I don’t blame them!

Community doesn’t pay the bills. But it does, eventually. You see places that have been about community, like a Will’s Pub, maybe even Tanqueray’s. They embrace the local artists and they’re all about it. It’s not just, let’s make money.”

Being constricted as an artist is the utmost fear, but Niko Is learned early on that one of the best ways he could liberate his artistry was by seeking a community that would not only stand by it, but elevate it.

“People release one song and blow up, and that’s just not the reality of things,” Niko Is says. “After the hit fizzles off, where is the support? It’s a trend. You’re depending on all these people for your videos, for your art and your sound, and then once the label doesn’t give you no more money, you have to come up and do it again, start over.

That’s why people start having this solidar-

ity later in their careers. Because everyone’s so selfish and egocentric at first – I was, too.

It took me a little while to realize that. But now I’m so happy and blessed that I have the Colours of the Culture. I trust them more than I trust myself.”

They say you’ve only got one shot and if that’s true, Niko Is knows full well what his weapon of choice is. It’s called Colours of the Culture, and as a single force, it hits like a battering ram of compelling output.

At first, it was just phrasing that stuck after notable producer Thanks Joey used it to describe the music they were creating, but recently, the name has come to represent a worldwide collective based on doggedly pure artistry and authentic connection between artists. Before the end of the year, Colours of the Culture will debut an album, ROYGBIV: What a Colourful World, and air a 10-episode series through Uproxx sharing behind-the-scenes footage (episodes currently online now). Hip-hop icon Talib Kweli, who has joined Colours of the Culture and told Uproxx it changed his life, wrote a heartfelt tribute to the Orlandosprung collective to continue bringing their craft to worldwide attention.

“It’s not coincidental everyone’s really ethnic,” Niko Is says of Colours of the Culture. “It’s like a spice, so we decide: Let’s unite. Big Pun said this rhyme once, and it stuck out to me, it’s like, ‘Let’s unite the city and step to the world as a weapon.’”

On his album, Brutus, Niko Is jokes, “I’m in a class of my own, but I never go” (“Vamoose”) and it’s a pretty apt way to describe how people removed from the local scene can be willfully oblivious. He says he doesn’t have fans here, but friends who get what they’re about and want to see if other people can see what they see.

There’s no bigger source of pride as a music fan than discovering something big in your own backyard.

“I think people who are in a city like this that never get out complain,” Niko Is says.

“They’re like, ‘Ugh, Orlando doesn’t care,’ ‘Orlando doesn’t support,’ or ‘There’s the Disney curse.’ There’s all these excuses that people always create, and I used to say the same thing until I got my hands dirty and I actually did things. Now I’m traveling the world, and I love coming back to Orlando.

Because it’s always refreshing. It’s a different take.” – Ashley Belanger

f you’ve ever been to A Comic Shop in Winter Park, you know it’s a warp like walking into a cult ’90s movie (if only High Fidelity took place in the Batcave).

There’s always a snappy heated conversation you pass through to peruse the quaint but smartly curated shop, and while the debate will have plenty of tension, there’s the underlying warmth of friendship and carefully guarded mutual respect that keeps nerd dialogues all over the world humming.

It’s not just a store, it’s a conversation starter. From good conversations come lasting friendships and, in a motivated environment like A Comic Shop, true community.

Orlando’s nerdy music scene was basically born out of that cultural incubator when the now-defunct Nerdapalooza started hosting concerts in the parking lot of A Comic Shop. When that festival outgrew the lot, they kept A Comic Shop involved by throwing pre-parties and after-parties there. Then when that culture became persistent, the Geek Easy was a born – a major store expansion that features a prominent stage in a pop-culture-splashed bonus room where they recently updated the PA system and lighting to continue upping their music game. Later, when Orlando Nerd Fest debuted in 2014, they hosted free weekly shows leading up to the fest at the Geek Easy, and even made it a hub where people could catch a bus to get to the Convention Center safely and with no hassle to attend the massive nerdy music festival. It’d be drastic to say there’d be no nerdy scene without A Comic Shop and its spawn the Geek Easy, but it certainly played a significant role in its rampant growth.

“They’ve always been heavily ingrained in the nerdy scene in general,” says James Dechert, who runs sound for the Geek Easy and works closely with promoters to book shows. “The patrons and staff of A Comic Shop pretty much built the nerdy scene

around here. And then from that, the Geek Easy was built. That’s the bar, video game, hang-out aspect. I believe their goal is just to create a place for nerds to come together, find each other, hang out and share interests.”

With a monthly open mic hosted by beloved local songwriter Marc With a C, blow-out parties fueled by the unique mania of bands like Random Encounter, and cosplay-inspiring DJ nights helmed by standout spinners like Benjamin Briggs and Sam Harris, music has seeped in to become as dominant an interest of the scene as the campy movie marathons and epic trivia nights that likewise draw crowds to the Geek Easy. Their active calendar has begun attracting outsiders who eye the Geek Easy more as a legitimate venue option for acts not necessarily tacked to the nerdy lifestyle.

“I assume you know about EyeQ,” Dechert says. “He’s a pretty big local nerdcore rapper. He’s been trying to act as a bridge between nerdcore and local hip-hop.

He’s thrown a couple really big hip-hop shows with the Geek Easy that ended up with really stacked lineups, like E-Turn and DiVinci, people I wouldn’t expect to see at the Geek Easy. I’m really glad it’s being treated like an actual venue.”

Sometimes a room becomes more than a room, due to the devoted folks who fill it up. That’s what’s happened at the Geek Easy, where a diverse event schedule helps attract new crowds to concerts they might otherwise never discover.

“If you’re trying to foster a community, it can’t all just be music, because there’s plenty of other ways to connect, build friendships and all of that,” Dechert says.

“Not everyone is a diehard music fan. A lot of times people end up at karaoke there or something, and they’re like, ‘Oh, I’m gonna check this other event out,’ and then tap into the music side of it.” – Ashley Belanger

he heart of the eclectic Milk District has been beating with a little more bass recently. For years now, Sandwich Bar has been a bastion for classic house music by hosting a procession of local dance royalty and DJs that have rocked thousands – names like Kimball Collins, Dave Cannalte, Doc Martin, LTJ Bukem, King Britt, Three, Q-Burns, Robby Clark and Sleazy McQueen. But recently, concentrated events two doors down at Spacebar and the residency of enterprising party crew Body//Talk have converged to create a new synergy that’s given the Robinson Street strip new definition as a small but rising indie dance scene.

Although Spacebar has hosted its own dance-oriented nights, only a few have stuck, according to owner Tommy Mot, whose own considerable scene cred as a DJ goes back to the international glory days of Orlando’s ’90s dance wave at clubs like Firestone, Knock Knock, Icon and the Blue Room. Several months ago, Mot tapped Body//Talk honcho Phil Santos to manage Spacebar’s calendar. Now, the bar’s beat menu is bolstered by Santos’ new monthly

Late Night Swim events and the district has become home base to the monthly Body// Talk parties, which take over Spacebar, Sandwich Bar and the parking lot that joins them.

“I think they found their niche now,” Mot says of Body//Talk. “For the Body// Talk parties, we have bands in here most of the times now and the DJs will be over [at Sandwich Bar]. … Both rooms are packed.

There’s really a lot of kids that are into cool shit, that wanna hear different things.

They’re not pigeonholed like you see downtown.”

But more than just another scene, the edge and ethos here are the difference. “It’s super open and non-judgmental,” says Mot. “There’s so many different types of people there – gay, straight, dudes, chicks, geeks, nerds, skateboard kids, film people … If you’re kind of not an open-minded person and you come to this place, you’re gonna feel uncomfortable. So it has a tendency to keep the douchey lameness away and it just keeps growing with cool, open-minded people. So in that sense, Body//Talk is in a position to be as big as they wanna take it, really.” – Bao Le-Huu

ack in the mid-’90s when Park Ave CDs was still actually on Park Avenue in Winter Park, the store was almost entirely staffed by Rollins College WPRK DJs. This created a curious bond between the music playing on the air of the college radio station and on the albums moving through the CD and vinyl store. Although this permeating force (which eventually shifted Orlando’s music scene markedly) didn’t yet have a name, their work was quietly furthered when they started booking edgy concerts around a loud man who became a major game changer in Orlando’s music scene: Sam Rivers.

“He was a catalyst,” says Matt Gorney, founding member of the local collective the Civic Minded 5 and music history teacher at Full Sail University. “And people who were punk rock musicians and people who were electronic musicians and DJs started being affected by this Sam Rivers effect.

It was starting to affect the way they were making music, listening to music and being open-minded toward other things. And that period, that mid-’90s period, WPRK was very adventurous. … All of this stuff started to be really affected by Sam. So that sort of laid the bed for Civic Minded 5. ” The Civic Minded 5 started out booking shows at Rollins College in 1996, with ample support from the school to fund and host their inventive concert programs.

You’d think drawing an invested crowd to a private college chapel to see a jazz concert (Friday night!!) might not be at the top of every ’90s college kid’s to-do list, but once Rivers’ music began to catch on with a mainstream audience after a fateful show at what is now the Social with Phat-N-Jazzy, his measurable pull reliably drew a varied audience seeking to soak in his wild artistry (especially after he formed his trio with an insanely solid rhythm section in drummer

It worked too well, and Gorney says after they booked one band (who leaked to others that they were paid a living wage and played to a decent crowd), emails started clawing at the Civic Minded 5’s concert calendar from so many performers seeking dates. So much so Gorney likens the experience to being bombarded by stray cats.

And so the collective needed a name. The one they took is kind of misleading. Even if you’re a fan of the short-lived cartoon The Tick.

“Do you know about The Tick?” Gorney says. “Well, there’s a really shitty superhero collective called the Civic Minded 5, and they really sucked. They were not effective at all. One was Mucilage Man, he always had shit stuck to him. And again, it’s Pete Barber. We were joking about, like, ‘We’re the Civic Minded 5!’ because we had been watching The Tick.”

The collective is more than five people, and to join requires regular dues. Most of the shows the Civic Minded 5 books are

free to the audience but funded by the collective, the community that supports them and earned grants. Audiophiles completely, they heavily consider the room before booking their shows at unconventional venues like Timucua White House, intimate spaces like Gallery at Avalon Island or traditional clubs like Will’s Pub. Their mission is to uncover the world’s most intriguing musical minds and import them to showcase here in Orlando, appreciating freak streaks and true genius you can’t find just anywhere, and you certainly otherwise wouldn’t encounter here.

“We would book our vacations and go to New York or wherever,” Gorney says. “Just go for a week and go see shows every night or go to a festival and just see 20 concerts.

So being able to do that here was just way cooler. Because you think, well, we’re going to spend money on this, let’s have it here and just essentially throw a party for our friends.” – Ashley Belanger

Anthony Cole and bassist Doug Mathews).

“Sam Rivers had the biggest nights at the Sapphire Supper Club,” Gorney says. “They were our biggest nights, and it just became this thing that people came to, and it started having this broad impact on people who were not even jazz musicians but were starting to see what he was doing in the amount of energy that was involved.”

“All the hippies would be dancing to his music like it was a Dead show,” laughs Civic Minded 5 member and Gallery at Avalon Island director Pat Greene, describing the ’90s scene in Melbourne at the Lazy Bean, where Rivers’ Florida career first broke.

Jokes aside, energy is why you go to a Civic Minded 5 show. The collective draws on a wide pool of diehard music fans ConTInUed FroM PaGe 35 | ConTInUed on PaGe 40 who travel the world in chase of unusual minds bending their instruments to create constant surprise by resisting predictable songwriting. These artists exist in genres loosely labeled like free jazz (The Thing, Peter Brötzmann) or avant-garde (Mary Halvorson, Zs) or experimental (Sun Araw, Jazz legend Sam Rivers first came to Orlando in the mid-’90s to perform a Bill Orcutt), but they extend the definition single date with Dizzy Gillespie, at a time when he was based out of New Jersey, of music by their existence. After a certain in his early ’70s and tiring of the winters. He thought Orlando seemed nice, and point, the Civic Minded 5 realized they an opportunistic showgoer that very night enticed Rivers to relocate, offering him could do much more locally if they became a turnkey big band comprised of professional musicians farmed from the theme a self-subsisting booking entity. parks. They basically shook hands on it then and there. Rivers moved south, and “We just started to realize we weren’t Orlando moved closer to a rich music movement that extended through the early going to be able to keep going back to the 2000s. well and asking for a check and asking, Rivers died in 2011, and it shook fans and local musicians with the same jolt‘Can you get us a room?’” Gorney says. “So ing force experienced when he bolted onto the scene. While he is unmistakably we decided to be a little more autonomous, still missed – his radical stage presence was true to his wild nature – his music like WPRK will still be a sponsor of this, lives on the last Wednesday of every month when Will’s Pub hosts the New Sam but we’ll kind of take this into our hands.

Rivers’ Rivbea Orchestra. It’s Rivers’ former band (a polished 16-piece orchestra) And our friend Pete Barber was the DJ of performing Rivers’ music under the direction of Doug Mathews, who was a core ‘The World Music Show,’ and he said, ‘We part of the Sam Rivers Trio. (FYI: The last Will’s performance of 2015 will be should just pool money together and sort of next month.) If you’ve never seen the orchestra fill out the pub, it’s a surreal blast be this socialist collective type thing.’ And from Orlando’s recent past that ranks among the best regular offerings in our at first I was like, ‘I don’t know if that’s too music scene. many cooks in the kitchen. I don’t know if it’ll work.’”

he official name of the joint is Lou’s LMGA, but it’s known simply and affectionately as Uncle Lou’s after the man who runs it. And it’s become the city’s weirdest little live venue by sheer, happy accident.

Uncle Lou began with a game room in Parramore, then moved to SoDo for a short while, until finally settling into the heart of Mills 50, a neighborhood interesting enough to allow a place like this to not just survive but shine. Live music, however, was never envisioned for the bar, at least not by Lou. “Some kids came in and actually asked me if they could play music there,” he says in his stout Jamaican accent. “And I said, yes, you could go ahead and play music, I’ve no problem with it, not knowing what I was getting into at the time.”

It was a punk show, a revelation of sorts for the islander. “Probably the terriblest thing I ever heard, this loud noise banging in my ears,” laughs Lou. “But I got an open mind … I could notice that they was really having fun jumping around, doing this crazy dance, so I continued doing it from there.”

Uncle Lou’s has a total open-door policy, a true rarity anywhere. Musicians wanting to play need only hit Lou up on the venue’s Facebook page or call the bar. Simple as that. “Whether it’s five people show up or 30, Uncle Lou gonna let you have a show,” he says. “Whether it’s your first time playConTInUed FroM PaGe 39

ing or you’ve been playing for 10 year, Uncle Lou gonna let you have a show. I try to give everyone a chance.”

For the past decade or so, the crossing of Lou’s welcoming, laissez-faire hosting and the hungry DIY music community has been beautifully reactive, elevating the place from basic dive to truly special scene incubator. It’s home to a colorful constellation of misfits and is the freakiest of the Mills Avenue fringe. But its true cultural import is as a hothouse for the thriving street-level creativity of the local scene and the wider, connected underground beyond. Besides representing the area’s most interesting ends of the spectrum – punk, metal, noise, experimental, folk, rock, electronic, whatever – excellent national names like Black Diamond Heavies, Centuries, Yautja, Cult Leader, East of the Wall, Clamfight and Holly Hunt have electrified Uncle Lou’s.

Lou himself admits to surprise at the identity the place has developed. But he might just understand something that developers, planners and legislators often don’t: that interesting things happen when you just let them. And the combination of Uncle Lou and Mills Avenue has proven alchemical.

“There’s no one that come through this door that I do not love,” he proclaims. “I believe that these punk rockers, music people in a whole, they got my back. They believe in me. They love me.” – Bao Le-Huu

OUR PICKS FOR THE BEST EVENTS THIS WEEK

Thursday, 15

Dia de los Muertos & Monster Factory Exhibit ART The Mexican Dia de los Muertos holiday seems overly morbid, with its cadaverous figurines and edible candy corpses, but the point of the holiday is actually to celebrate the lives of those who have passed on. Because of its Nov. 1 proximity to Halloween and the overtly macabre imagery associated with it, though, Dia de los Muertos gets wrapped into plenty of spooky celebrations here in the States. CityArts throws its sixth annual early celebration of the south-of-the-border soiree this week with a block party incorporating both traditions. With plenty of performers from both backgrounds – Phantasmagoria followed by O Mi Lasa, a salsa band, for example – this is a cultural melting pot worth dipping into. – Thaddeus McCollum

If you’re wondering what to expect from a touring show featuring two comedy legends, just ask John Cleese. “Eric and I have a chat,” he says. That chat includes stories about the early days of Monty Python, performances of sketches that didn’t make it to air and even musical numbers. The duo then open the floor to the audience for a Q&A, which, as Cleese says, “varies a little bit depending on how good the questions are.”

If you get the chance to ask a question, don’t be polite. “It’s much nicer when the questions are rude, when people say ‘My God, Cleese, why can’t you stay married to one woman?’

That kind of thing.” Is there any question he’d prefer to just get out of the way? “I would like them not to ask ‘Why is it called Monty Python’s Flying Circus?’ because the answer is boring.” You can look up that answer on Wikipedia, and it really is quite boring.

Instead, take Cleese’s suggestion, “Which Python do you hate the most?” and learn something completely different. (Look for our full interview with John Cleese on orlandoweekly.com.) – Thaddeus McCollum

THEATER This month’s edition of Fringe Year Round brings back popular Australian storyteller Jon Bennett, performing three different shows that he’s presented at the Orlando Fringe: My Dad’s Deaths, Fire in the Meth Lab and Pretending Things Are a Cock. Bennett’s website claims that in 2009, he “realised his talent for placing his groin next to inanimate objects and created the hugely popular Internet photographic phenomenon Pretending Things Are a Cock,” which is sort of like saying you invented planking – except that could possibly be true, whereas boys have been pretending things are their cocks for as long as boys have had cocks. The snicker-inducing conceit of that show, irresistible though it is (a co-worker, talking about PTAAC: “It’s probably not very long”), shouldn’t undercut viewers’ perception of the depth of these three shows.

They are consistently name-dropped on the Fringe lawn as “the best thing I saw this year,” and Fringe word of mouth, the most reliable measure of a hit, is not to be disregarded. Pretending Things Are a Cock is actually a rather sweet travelogue (though the slides are a bit raunchy); My Dad’s Deaths and Fire in the Meth Lab both take on complicated familial relationships. Bennett’s patented mix of outrageous humor with genuine emotion may make you laugh until you cry. – Jessica Bryce Young

The Orlando Bike Tour movement is smashing the bike-bro cliché to smithereens.

Their passion for cycling has taken them off the trails and onto the brick pavement to explore all the best cultural spots Orlando has to offer. This month’s tour is all about American art, and the bike tour will be pedaling its way to the Mennello Museum of American Art for a guided tour.

The Mennello Museum, which is a Smithsonian affiliate, houses a large collection of paintings by renowned folk artist Earl Cunningham. The collective will then move on to another guided tour at the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art, which features the works of stained glass artist Louis Comfort Tiffany. If you’ve got a bike, bring it. You can save some money on admission as long as you register before the event. If not, then don’t worry. You can hop on one of the bicycles available through the bike share program. – Marissa Mahoney

EVENT How can you not love a dachshund? They’re the shortest, longest, pointiest dogs, they come in two sizes (miniature and standard, but still short) and because they’re wiener dogs, you can name them things like JimmieDean, Vienna and Chorizo. They also come in very handy when you want to dress up your dog for Halloween – who doesn’t love a dog dressed like a hot dog or a Twix bar or your favorite kind of pill? Bonus: These dogs were originally bred to hunt badgers underground (hence their long, low bodies, perfect for digging into narrow burrows), so they’re known to be little badasses. Celebrate the versatility of the dachshund today at Wienerfest, an event to benefit Florida Dachshund Rescue, a nonprofit organization that rehabilitates and rehomes unwanted dachshunds (but come on – who would not want their dachshund!?). More than 4,000 people attend this annual event, which features wiener dog races, a costume contest, a photo booth, food trucks and more. You and your leashed dog are welcome to attend – even if your dog is of one of the inferior non-dachshund varieties. – Erin Sullivan

Boytoy

Dance dance dance the night away.

Boytoy’s Grackle bursts with familiar rock & roll abandon fueled by coming to grips with unrequited love, twisting its hips eternally at that moment when you decide to quit trying to smother that cold shoulder in unseasonal sweaters. The Brooklyn trio tripped up snooty critics with their self-titled debut EP last year, causing respected pubs from Rolling Stone to Noisey to gush on loop.

There’s some hippie folklore behind the new album’s title, but thankfully that vein is only tapped in name, smirking to point out that grackles – small, mostly black birds that have that tinged oil-stained sheen – outnumber music fans at SXSW each year. So quit being a bird-brain and note that this is a band worth discovering, and join their growing brood if you like fiercely easy, hooky rock. You’ll find yourself groaning along to tracks like “Your Girl,” admitting it’s true, “can’t help liking you.” – Ashley Belanger

Cannibal Ox MUSIC Back in 2001 (when MySpace was still relevant), underground Harlem hip-hop duo Cannibal Ox built a legacy with just one record – The Cold Vein, a close collaboration with producer El-P (Run the Jewels) that vaunted El-P’s then-new label Definitive Jux by gifting it with an instant classic. All three came up together as kids on the New York scene, and the record was the result of two years’ earnest artistry. Then it took more than a decade for the next Cannibal Ox release, the Gotham EP, to drop in 2012 amid rabid fan speculation for years that the duo had broken up (trace the roots in old MySpace beef posts if you can boot up your way-back machine). Now they’re back this year with Blade of the Ronin, a true representation of Cannibal Ox as a duo, released on their relatively new label, IGC Records. With cuts like “Carnivorous” and “Sabertooth,” it’s immediately obvious this is a sharp return for a legit hip-hop force. – Ashley Belanger

SATURDAY, 17

Langhorne Slim & the Law Over the course of the past decade, give or take, Langhorne Slim has evolved from bluegrass-picking troubadour to the linchpin in an impressively tight folk-rock band. His latest album, The Spirit Moves, trades in the old-timeyisms that marked much of his early output for driving rhythms and a self-awareness that feels more current and immediate. Slim says that this is the first album he’s recorded while completely sober, and the lyrics, often addressing important life changes, seem to reflect that. We’re looking forward to seeing if that newfound focus makes its way forward when Langhorne Slim & the Law take the stage at the Social. – TM

B Y D A N S AVA G E I am a cis-woman in my mid 20s. I get a pang or a spasm of pain in a place deep in my clit/urethra area. I can’t pinpoint which part exactly.

It takes me by surprise every time it happens.

Around four or five convulsions happen and then quickly it’s over. There’s no pattern – it happens at random times and anywhere from one to four times daily. It started about a week ago. It doesn’t hurt when I pee, apply pressure to the area, work out, masturbate or orgasm. I wonder if my lady spasms are associated with stress. I started a new job in September that I love, but it’s very demanding of my time, which has taken a toll on my mental and physical health. What’s going on down there?

What’s the solution? Will doing Kegels help me manage these spasms? (P.S.: I’m a lesbian, if that’s helpful.)

Super Perplexed About Spasms Mostly

I shared your letter with Dr. Lori Brotto, an associate professor in the Department of Gynecology at the University of British Columbia.

Dr. Brotto has done extensive research on vaginal/vulval pain and is a recognized expert on this subject. Brotto shared your letter with Dr. Jonathan Huber, an Ottawa-based gynecologist with expertise in treating genital pain. “SPASM definitely needs to see a physician as soon as possible to have her vulva and vagina examined,” Dr. Brotto and Dr. Huber wrote in their joint response.

“The collection of symptoms she describes does not map perfectly onto any single diagnosis, so these ideas below are best guesses.” (If you’re the kind of person who can’t read about mysterious symptoms and their possible causes without immediately developing those symptoms, you might want to skip the rest of this response.)

“Sudden onset, intermittent genital pain can be caused by a number of simple things, such as abrasions, an infection, an allergic reaction, buildup of smegma, dermatosis, etc.,” Dr. Brotto and Dr. Huber continued. “Although these things are unlikely to be the cause of her pain, they’re easy to rule out and treat, if necessary.” (“Women get smegma, too,” Dr. Brotto says.

“We don’t hear about smegma in women because yeast infections get a lot more attention. But smegma in women is the same as smegma in men: a harmless buildup of skin cells and oils.”)

“SPASM’s symptoms most closely map onto a condition called ‘interstitial cystitis’ (IC) or bladder pain syndrome,” Dr. Brotto and Dr. Huber explained. “IC is diagnosed when there is chronic bladder or urethral pain in the absence of a known cause. It’s typically described as having the symptoms or sensations of a bladder infection, without actually having an infection. Although IC usually has a gradual onset and presents with pressure more often than pain, some women do describe a sudden onset, with pain as the most prominent symptom as opposed to pressure. Since IC often coexists with vulvodynia (vulval pain), dysmenorrhea (painful periods) and endometriosis (when endometrial tissue grows outside the uterus), if this individual has any of these other diagnoses, then IC may be more likely to account for her pain.”

How can you determine if it’s IC? “IC is best assessed by a urologist, who may choose to do further urine tests, like examination of urine under

a microscope, and even a cystoscopy – putting a narrow camera through the urethra into the bladder to take a look.”

Another possible cause: a urethral diverticulum.

“It’s like an outpouching along the tube of the urethra,” Dr. Brotto and Dr. Huber wrote. “This is kind of like a dead-ended cave where urine and other debris can collect, which can possibly lead to infection and pain.” A gynecologist might be able to diagnose a diverticulum during a normal exam, but you’ll most likely need to have a tiny camera stuffed up your urethra to diagnose this one too, SPASM. Moving on …

“Some of her symptoms also sound like the beginnings of ‘persistent genital arousal disorder,’ a condition of unwanted genital sensations and arousal in the absence of sexual desire. PGAD can be triggered by stress and temporarily relieved with orgasms. For some women with PGAD, it is related to starting or stopping a medication (especially antidepressants).”

The good news: You don’t need to cram a selfie stick up your urethra to determine whether you’ve recently stopped taking antidepressants. More good news: There are treatments for all of these conditions.

“In sum, we feel she should see a gynecologist first and possibly get a referral to a urologist,” Dr. Brotto and Dr. Huber concluded.

Follow Dr. Brotto on Twitter @DrLoriBrotto, and follow Dr. Huber @DrJonathanHuber.

I am a 23-year-old Italian girl and I have been in a long-distance relationship for one year. We love to have sex, and when we are far away, we send each other hot pictures and videos. At least two times per week, we masturbate on Skype.

There is something that confuses me about the way I masturbate when I am alone. My boyfriend watches pornos daily when we are far away. I don’t like it, but I have not asked him to give up watching pornos. Sometimes I watch them, and when we are together, it’s me who suggests to watch them together or I let him watch them while I’m giving something to him. However, I’m not a fan of him watching pornos when he is alone. But when I masturbate, I think only about him watching porno alone. What’s wrong with my sexual fantasies?

Confused Italian Asking Obviously

There’s nothing wrong with your sexual fantasies, CIAO, you’re just experiencing a little cognitive dissonance and residual sex-negativity – and that particular tension can both distress and arouse. But seeing as your boyfriend is going to look at porn (and other women) whether you want him to or not (just as you look at porn and other men), and since you enjoy porn together, I would advise you to err on the side of embracing your fantasies. And don’t feel like you have to overcome the cognitive dissonance. The naughtiness of it, the transgression and the symbolic betrayal – all of that turns you on. So live with it, lean into it, and enjoy it.

By EMily FlaKE

revisit your own rules of life. As you refine and recommit yourself to these fundamental disciplines, be sure to give yourself enough slack.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Here’s actor Bill Murray’s advice about relationships: “If you have someone that you think is The One, don’t just say, ‘OK, let’s pick a date. Let’s get married.’ Take that person and travel around the world. Buy a plane ticket for the two of you to go to places that are hard to go to and hard to get out of.

And if, when you come back, you’re still in love with that person, get married at the airport.” In the coming weeks, I suggest you make comparable moves to test and deepen your own closest alliances.

See what it’s like to get more seriously and deliriously intimate.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Some firefighters use a wetter kind of water than the rest of us. It contains a small amount of biodegradable foam that makes it 10 times more effective in dousing blazes. With this as your cue, I suggest you work on making your emotions “wetter” than usual. By that I mean the following: When your feelings arise, give them your reverent attention. Marvel at how mysterious they are. Be grateful for how much life force they endow you with. Whether they are relatively “negative” or “positive,” regard them as interesting revelations that provide useful information and potential opportunities for growth.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell is a BBC TV miniseries set in the early 19th century. It’s the fictional story of a lone wizard, Mr. Norrell, who seeks to revive the art of occult magic so as to accomplish practical works, like helping the English navy in its war against the French navy. Norrell is pleased to find an apprentice, Jonathan Strange, and draws up a course of study for him. Norrell tells Strange that the practice of magic is daunting, “but the study is a continual delight.” If you’re interested in taking on a similar challenge, it’s available.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You would be wise to rediscover and revive your primal innocence. If you can figure out how to shed a few shreds of your sophistication and a few slivers of your excess dignity, you will literally boost your intelligence. That’s why I’m inviting you to explore the kingdom of childhood, where you can encounter stimuli that will freshen and sweeten your adulthood.

Your upcoming schedule could include jumping in mud puddles, attending parties with imaginary friends, having uncivilized fun with wild toys and drinking boisterously from fountains of youth.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) While still a young man, Virgo author Leo Tolstoy wrote that “I have not met one man who is morally as good as I am.” He lived by a strict creed. “Eat moderately” was one of his “rules of life,” along with “Walk for an hour every day.” Others were equally stern: “Go to bed no later than 10 o’clock,” “Only do one thing at a time,” and “Disallow flights of imagination unless necessary.” He did provide himself with wiggle room, however. One guideline allowed him to sleep two hours during the day. Another specified that he could visit a brothel twice a month. I’d love for you to be inspired by Tolstoy’s approach. Now is a favorable time to

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) For now, you are excused from further work on the impossible tasks that have been grinding you down. You may take a break from the unsolvable riddles and cease your exhaustive efforts. And if you would also like to distance yourself from the farcical jokes the universe has been playing, go right ahead. To help enforce this transition, I hereby authorize you to enjoy a time of feasting and frolicking, which will serve as an antidote to your baffling trials. And I hereby declare that you have been as successful at weathering these trials as you could possibly be, even if the concrete proof of that is not yet entirely visible.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) One afternoon in September, I was hiking along a familiar path in the woods. As I passed my favorite grandmother oak, I spied a thick, 6-foot-long snake loitering on the trail in front of me. In hundreds of previous visits, I had never before seen a creature bigger than a mouse. The serpent’s tail was hidden in the brush, but its head looked more like a harmless gopher snake’s than a dangerous rattler’s. I took the opportunity to sing it three songs. It stayed for the duration, then slipped away after I finished. What a great omen! The next day, I made a tough but liberating decision to leave behind a good part of my life so as to focus more fully on a great part. With or without a snake sighting, I foresee a comparable breakthrough for you sometime soon.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Canadian author Margaret Atwood has finished a new manuscript. It’s called Scribbler Moon.

But it won’t be published as a book until the year 2114. Until then, it will be kept secret, along with the texts of many other writers who are creating work for a “Future Library.” The project’s director is conceptual artist Katie Paterson, who sees it as a response to George Orwell’s question, “How could you communicate with the future?” With this as your inspiration, Capricorn, try this exercise: Compose five messages you would you like to deliver to the person you will be in 2025.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Every hour of your life, millions of new cells are born to replace old cells that are dying.

That’s why many parts of your body are composed of an entirely different collection of cells than they were years ago. If you are 35, for example, you have replaced your skeleton three times.

Congratulations! Your creativity is spectacular, as is your ability to transform yourself. Normally these instinctual talents aren’t nearly as available to you in your efforts to re-create and transform your psyche, but they are now. In the coming months, you will have extraordinary power to revamp and rejuvenate everything about yourself, not just your physical organism.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) The coming weeks will NOT be a favorable time to seek out allies you don’t even like that much or adventures that provide thrills you have felt a thousand times before. But the near future will be an excellent time to go on a quest for your personal version of the Holy Grail, a magic carpet, the key to the kingdom, or an answer to the Sphinx’s riddle. In other words, Pisces, I advise you to channel your yearning toward experiences that steep your heart with a sense of wonder. Don’t bother with anything that degrades, disappoints or desensitizes you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) We humans have put buttons on clothing for seven millennia. But for a long time these small knobs and disks were purely ornamental – meant to add beauty but not serve any other function. That changed in the 13th century, when our ancestors finally got around to inventing buttonholes.

Buttons could then serve an additional purpose, providing a convenient way to fasten garments. I foresee the possibility of a comparable evolution in your personal life. You have an opening to dream up further uses for elements that have previously been onedimensional. Brainstorm about how you might expand the value of familiar things.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Many astronomers believe that our universe began with the Big Bang. An inconceivably condensed speck of matter exploded, eventually expanding into thousands of billions of stars. It must have been a noisy event, right? Actually, no.

Astronomers estimate that the roar of the primal eruption was just 120 decibels – less than the volume of a live rock concert. I suspect that you are also on the verge of your own personal Big Bang. It, too, will be relatively quiet for the amount of energy it unleashes.
