I wish you had given more credence to Darren Soto’s candidacy (“Vocal minority,” Oct. 14), not just as an “actual Puerto Rican.” I went to Tallahassee this past spring as a citizen lobbyist against the proposed 24-hour waiting period for an abortion law (HB 633/SB 724).

Sen. Soto was on one of the committees (Judiciary) that had to pass on this bill and correctly predicted that it would be found unconstitutional due to Florida’s unique privacy concerns. He knows his constitutional law. Plus, he plays in a roots rock band.

All Sundays have been the worst.

All of them (“Facing Halloween Horror Nights with no early access and no line-skipping is the scariest challenge of all,” Oct. 14). Going to HHN on Sunday is the worst thing anyone can do. The worst crowds are on Sundays, too. Saw a lot of people trying to mess with actors.

Also something that I noticed was that they are treating Express lines like a front-of-the-line kind of thing. Universal does not want to let Express wait even 10 minutes. Express is meant to be a shorter wait time, but for some reason they don’t want them to wait at all ... which means the regular lines have to wait double the time, making the regular line move much, much slower than years before.

Political pop quiz questions and answers 1. What is the millage rate for the city of Orlando?

Answer: The millage rate – that is, the amount per $1,000 used to calculate property taxes – is 6.65 mills. That is, $6.65 per $1,000 in taxable property value.

How much do Orlando’s mayoral and City Council candidates know about running the city? Let’s test them and see.

By Monivette Cordeiro and erin Sullivan

i

f you aren’t aware that there’s about to be a city election in Orlando on Nov. 3, you can hardly be blamed. The election wasn’t supposed to even happen this year – it was originally scheduled for April 5, 2016, three weeks after Florida’s March 2016 presidential primary election. Earlier this year, though, Orange County Supervisor of Elections Bill Cowles sounded the alarm – what if it was too confusing for voters to have two elections so close to one another? What if they didn’t show up at the polls, thinking they’d already had an election? He urged the city to schedule its election to happen on primary day, or reschedule for a later date in 2016.

Instead, the Orlando City Council voted in May to move city elections to Nov. 3, giving people just six months to raise money and pull campaigns together if they wanted to run for one of the four seats up for grabs: that of Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer and city commissioners Tony Ortiz (District 2), Patty Sheehan (District 4) and Sam Ings (District 6). Despite the truncated elections schedule, all of the incumbents except for Ortiz face challengers who say the old guard has got to go.

Now the election is just 15 days away. Do you know where your candidate stands on the issues? Are you ready to vote? Don’t worry if you’re having a hard time keeping up – we’ve got you covered with our Political Pop Quiz™, an on-the-spot exam of 11 random and relevant questions that gauge what the candidates know (or think they know) about the inner workings of Orlando.

To our readers: Happy voting!

To all our candidates: Good luck. If you get elected, don’t fuck it up.

2. What is the average homeless population in Orlando?

Answer: Trick question.

The answer is that it changes, and an accurate count is difficult to come by. We were looking for candidates to be able to talk credibly about the homelessness problem in Orlando, and we give extra credit for knowing that a recent count turned up 100 homeless veterans living on the streets of the city.

3. What is the tallest building in Orlando?

Answer: The SunTrust Center, standing at 441 feet.

4. Is there such a thing as “too much” development downtown?

Answer: There is no right or wrong answer to this question, but we were looking for candidates to tell us how they feel about

Mayoral race

i

t’s been a little painful, if entertaining, to watch the three candidates vying for mayor take shots at one another over the past few weeks.

Frankly, we’re glad this election is almost over.

First things first: Everybody in this race has a nickname. Mayor John “Buddy” Dyer is seeking a fourth term as mayor, and

focusing on downtown development versus neighborhoods in other parts of the city.

5. What is the daily ridership goal for SunRail?

Answer: SunRail has a first-year goal of getting 4,300 passengers daily. It hasn’t quite reached that goal, and in July, ridership dipped to 3,700 people per day. Extra credit for thoughts on how to improve public transportation in the city.

6. A tree is about to fall over outside your house, and it’s on the city’s part of the property. Who do you call?

Answer: The city’s Parks Department.

7. Talk for a moment about the property-tax rate. Is the current rate appropriate for the level of services the city provides?

Answer: This is another one with no specific answer, but we hope to hear that candidates know that the city of Orlando raised property tax rates by 17.7 percent last year, which translates to one additional dollar per thousand dollars of a property’s value. See millage rate question for more detail.

he’s got two challengers for the seat. Businessman and veteran Neil “Paul” Paulson and medical student “Sunshine” Linda Marie Grund have both qualified to run, and they have mainly been attacking Dyer for the city’s decision to increase the property tax rate by 17.7 percent in 2014; that rate was adopted again in September for the 2015-2016 fiscal year. It was the first property-tax increase since 2008, and it raised taxes by one dol-

8. What is the status of the long-awaited Creative Village in downtown Orlando?

Answer: In 2015, the state Legislature failed to grant $57 million in funding to help UCF develop a campus in downtown Orlando, which was to be a hub of the Creative Village. While the project is not dead, it has dragged on forever.

UCF is now seeking private funding sources to keep its critical portion moving forward.

9. Who appoints the city’s Citizen Police Review Board? How do you think the process could be improved?

Answer: The mayor recommends candidates, who are then approved by the City Council.

10. Where does Orlando rank among the top 50 American metro areas in terms of median wage?

How could your economic policies make life more affordable for the average citizen?

Answer: Last. And we really do hope candidates have some solid ideas for increasing affordability.

BONUS: How many seats is the Orlando City Soccer Club’s new stadium supposed to contain?

Answer: 25,500.

lar per thousand dollars in property value, and it has given Paulson and Grund plenty of fodder upon which to base their criticism of the mayor.

Dyer, who has raised about $373,000 for his campaign so far, recently accused Paulson of trying to buy the election after Paulson loaned his own campaign $610,000 of his own personal money.

claim (his campaign treasurer’s report does indicate that Paulson’s campaign is primarily self-funded), and he also disputes an Orlando Sentinel story that alleges that a charity he runs – Help for Vets, Inc. – raises red flags when it comes to fundraising and structure. The Sentinel also took Paulson to task for using partisan campaign material in a nonpartisan race – something prohibited in nonpartisan races. Paulson says his attorney told him that particular statute was not being enforced.

“Mr. Dyer has broken that statute before, and done much worse, like being indicted,” he says, then proceeds to criticize the newspaper. “I would compare the Sentinel to the National Enquirer, but I don’t think it would be fair to the Enquirer.”

Grund has distinguished herself in this expensive race by taking in no contribution money because she says it allows her to be completely transparent to voters. If elected, she says part of her platform would focus on preserving the wetlands near her home.

“The current makeup of

the political process means someone like George Zimmerman could win this election because of name recognition, which brings in money,” she says. “You lose touch with citizens and are influenced more easily.”

Dyer says it’s a serious responsibility to be not only mayor, but also a leader for the region on issues like same-sex marriage, establishing a domestic partnership registry and supporting a living wage for workers. He says his opponents focus solely on the tax hike and have lost sight of other issues.

“I’m passionate about the city,” he says. “My opponents haven’t touched on city building or their vision for the future of the city. We’ve had a great last 10 years in terms of building consensus and collaboration and have moved the needle on so many issues, like growth.

We’re recognized as the city of the future and the most sustainable city in the Southeast United States.”

1. What is the millage rate for the city of Orlando?

Dyer: 6.5. No, it’s 6.65.

There’s a lot of numbers

Paul Paulson

flying through your head all the time.

Grund: Six-something.

It’s higher than what it should be.

Paulson: It’s raised up now to 6.65, but it used to be 5.65. It went up one with Mr. Dyer.

2. What is the average homeless population in Orlando?

Dyer: I know that we have a little over 100 homeless veterans left. We are making a real effort to end homelessness among our veterans by the end of the year. We have reduced that population by over 60 percent. It’s hard to quantify that population because the point in time count is rarely accurate.

Grund: Too many. I think one is too many.

Everyone in Orlando should have a home.

Paulson: That’s a tough question because how would you be able to do a census of them? A lot of them live in the woods in East Orlando, and they’re difficult to count. I think that’s the best answer, that we just don’t know.

3. What is the tallest building in Orlando?

Dyer: SunTrust.

Grund: The Vue. Paulson: Probably SunTrust. It’s pretty tall.

4. Is there such a thing as “too much” development downtown?

Dyer: There is such a thing as bad development for downtown. We want to encourage downtown, but we want to have the right type of development, like transit-oriented development that would take advantage of SunRail and more affordable units. We promoted getting a grocery store, movie theaters in downtown. We’re recently in the process of buying Constitution Green, which could have been an exam-

ple of bad development if we had allowed them to take down the tree.

Grund: Yes. We need to have green space. I think green space is important to downtown and the residents that live there.

Paulson: Yes, when it impacts neighborhoods and we divert money from them to build an opulent downtown. We’ve reached that point. That’s the difference between Mr. Dyer and myself. We could have development if funded by donations, like the Dr. Phillips Center and also the new soccer stadium, which will be funded by private enterprise. We have an old arena that we borrowed $150 million from the state, and then Mr. Dyer imploded it and now it’s just sitting as vacant land, which we owe money on even though it’s gone.

There are a lot of problems with the downtown venues, and we’ve neglected the neighborhoods.

5. What is the daily ridership goal for SunRail?

Dyer: 4,300.

Grund: I have yet to ride SunRail, so that’s on my to-do list. I know the numbers were down and they’ve had to alter it.

Paulson: More. The problem is at nighttime, it’s not producing the ridership. The schedule has to be flexible and adjusted to ridership. It hasn’t been producing enough money to pay for it, so we’ve been subsiding it. SunRail isn’t the only solution; we need to have a mix of transportation systems, like Lynx, Lyft and Uber, which needs to be expanded.

6. A tree is about to fall over outside your house, and it’s on the city’s part of the property. Who do you call?

Dyer: If it’s my tree, I’m responsible for it.

Grund: Orlando

Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer

Utilities Commission.

Paulson: The landowner is responsible for the tree if it’s on his property.

I know city code enforcement requires the tree to be removed if it won’t come back to life. The city has an arborologist who will come and tell us which type of tree we will have to replant. It’s complicated.

7. Talk for a moment about the property tax rate. Is the current rate appropriate for the level of services the city provides?

Dyer: Yes. We have made substantial cuts to the city’s budget while I’ve been mayor. We have reduced the overall number of employees by 350 people and increased police and fire employees by 175. When we went through the recession our property tax collections were $137 million and they were reduced to under $100 million. We did not want to raise the millage rate through the recession but with property tax caps and wanting to make sure we did not touch public safety, we raised the millage rate, and still did not collect the same as 2009.

orlandoweekly.com

●

If we didn’t raise rates, the only place we could have started cutting was the public safety budget, and we did not want to do that.

Grund: We could always do better. We could look at how we could do things at a lower cost with exceptional service. My charge is that buildings are being built, but I don’t necessarily see services being increased throughout the city that the residents would actually use. For example, I have yet to go on SunRail or to the performing arts centers, and it’s not that we can’t have those things, but when we have issues that need to be addressed, like a homeless population of more than one, and leaders who are increasing their pay, I don’t think that’s a good direction to go. I do understand it’s important to provide services, and the mayor doesn’t act alone in the budget, but you are leading the way in setting the pace for what you believe the best strategy is.

Paulson: No. It’s too high because Mr. Dyer raised it by 17.7 percent.

He has approved a budget

with the council to keep that tax hike for next year.

Mr. Dyer and the budget have benefited from a 14 percent natural increase because property values went up. There should be enough money in the revenue fund to pay for everything, but the problem is that Mr. Dyer has not balanced the budget.

About 24 percent of the budget is for interdepartmental things that’s not accounted for. That’s over $250 million. Additional money could be taken from OUC in the form of dividends so we don’t have a tax increase. I will appoint a blue-ribbon committee to go through the budget and rank what programs are working and which are not.

8. What is the status of the long-awaited Creative Village in downtown Orlando?

Dyer: We have a meeting of the board of governors two days after the election to bring the UCF/Valencia campus master plan to get approval. We’re currently installing the horizontal infrastructure and utilities, but have developed the School of Emerging Media, city labs and other structures. When the student housing and parking garage breaks ground, we will also be breaking ground on private residential property that will house the culinary school.

A lot should happen in the next year.

Grund: On hold. I know they’re trying to get funds.

I think they were trying to get some of the tourist dollars. It’s obviously not moving as fast as it could, or should be.

Paulson: We didn’t get the money from the state Legislature. I think Gov. Scott vetoed $50 10

million. The future will tell us. Right now it’s a project that doesn’t have the funding.

9. Who appoints the city’s Citizen Police Review Board? How do you think the process could be improved?

Dyer: The mayor makes recommendations to the City Council, and the Council approves them.

I think we have a pretty good process in place.

Grund: The mayor.

I think having more voices at the table could improve it.

Paulson: I believe the mayor does, but I think there’s also input from the community and police department. I think the process could be improved when we work on retraining the minds of law enforcement officers to be more sensitive and have greater communication skills.

10. Where does Orlando rank among the top 50 American metro areas in terms of median wage? How could your economic policies make life more affordable for the average citizen?

Dyer: If we’re not the lowest, we’re right at the bottom. It’s something we certainly need to improve on. The city has adopted a living wage policy for its employees and for contractors who work with the city.

We have to look at other measures for income equality as well.

One that is in control of the government is transportation, so

expanding Lymmo, Lynx and SunRail for people who already have incomes are able to access jobs, daycare and educational opportunities is also important.

Grund: Not high enough. My answer has always been people drive the economic engines in any community if you provide an environment they will want to live, work, play and stay in.

Paulson: We’re close to the bottom. I can’t give you the exact number, but the problem is we’re largely a service industry that depends on people to work in hotels and amusement parks, often times at minimum wage. The bad thing is Orlando has lost a lot of higher-paying jobs when the Navy base closed in 1989. We’ve also had some issues with Department of Defense jobs. I have connections in Washington, D.C., and I will make it my priority to bring highpaying defense jobs and light manufacturing jobs to Orlando.

BONUS: How many seats is the Orlando City Soccer Club’s new stadium supposed to contain?

Dyer: That hasn’t been determined yet because

they have to finish the architectural plans, but they have increased size from 19,500 roughly to somewhere between 25,000 and 27,000 pending on the plans.

Grund: Not enough. My son loves soccer.

Paulson: One for each person that goes there. We don’t want people to be sitting on each other.

City Council, district 4 ommissioner Patty

C

Sheehan is facing off in District 4 against Navy veteran and business owner Aretha Olivarez and Randy Ross, a community activist and TV talk-show host. Olivarez and Ross accuse the 15-year incumbent of being a “career politician” who is out of touch with many of the problems faced by her constituents, but Sheehan contends her opponents are ignoring other issues to focus on the city’s 17.7 percent property-tax hike, and that constituents have understood why the city raised the rate.

According to the latest campaign finance reports from September, Sheehan leads the pack in fundraising, with $48,890 in contributions; Olivarez and Ross have pulled in $10,538 and $10,010 respectively.

Sheehan says she wants to keep her focus on quality-of-life issues she thinks are important to people, like sidewalks, urban chickens and preserving Constitution Green, while still concentrating on bringing smarter technology to save the city money, like composting programs and supercritical water oxidation.

“I put my heart and soul into every race,” she says.

“I believe that people get

into public life for two reasons: Either they want to be somebody or help somebody. There’s a difference between being a politician and a public servant, and I believe I’m a public servant.”

Ross, who qualified in the race by petition, says Sheehan’s urban chickens and composting projects show she isn’t listening to her constituents, who are more concerned with the tax hike. He has previously concentrated on community fundraisers for a variety of issues, including homelessness and domestic abuse. Ross, who was arrested for a false insurance claim earlier this year, says he’s put his skeletons out front and is ready to talk about the real issues.

“I bring passion to the table,” he says. “I know I’m not perfect. I’ve had my flaws and mistakes, and I’ve learned from those.

I’m going to win this race, and I’m winning it on the ground.”

Olivarez, who ran in 2012 against Sheehan, says she’s always felt a call to run.

If elected, she would like to focus on homelessness, affordable health care and creating a living wage for the residents of Orlando.

Incumbents get comfortable, she says, and Olivarez is hungry to learn.

“I love helping people,” she says. “I want to make a difference at the local level … Orlando is very beautiful, but I think we’re behind on things we should have.”

1. What is the millage rate for the city of Orlando?

Olivarez: You’d think I know this since I got my real estate license once.

I think it’s a little over 6 mills.

Ross: One of the most important things I should know, and I’m blanking. I know the increase from the previous millage rate was

17.7 percent. Just say Randy had a brain fart.

Sheehan: 6.65 2. What is the average homeless population in Orlando?

Olivarez: I just worked with Rethink Homelessness, and they gave us the number. I can’t remember, but I know it’s huge. It’s bad.

Ross: I know we have 10,000 homeless students between Osceola, Orange and Seminole counties. I don’t know if I know the answer to that.

Sheehan: There is way too many. I’ve heard anywhere from 1,500 to 5,000.

That’s a moving target.

3. What is the tallest building in Orlando?

Olivarez: The SunTrust building.

Ross: That’s the SunTrust building. That doesn’t matter as much as knowing the homeless population, though.

Sheehan: The courthouse.

4. Is there such a thing as “too much” development downtown?

Olivarez: Yes. Ross: Yes. As related to development, there’s not a ton you can do in District 4. You’re not going to be able to build a plant or more hotels.

Anything that’s going to be built is going to be torn down and then built back where it was. The only reason there’s a big fight over Constitution Green is because this particular commissioner allowed the votes for all the buildings to go up around it. The city should have bought that land a long time ago and designated it a park that they owned, not something they leased from these private property owners.

Sheehan: I think there CONTINUED ON PaGe 12

needs to be a balance, especially with what’s happening with Constitution Green and that building that was proposed by Lake Eola. I don’t think we have too much development, but I think we’re going to have to find that balance.

Unfortunately, we’re going to be forced to do some growth in order to keep up with our budget because of these tax caps on homes and commercial property, which I don’t think was a good idea.

Downtown is beautiful, but we have developed it so much with the high rises. I think we need to stop because now we don’t have safe places for people to walk or for bike riders.

5. What is the daily ridership goal for SunRail?

Olivarez: I don’t know the exact number, but I’m sure it’s very low.

Ross: Anything I say to you would be uneducated, but I will tell you it’s not hitting the goal that they wanted it to hit. Part of that is the ridership time zone because people want it accessible to them, and as a city, we’re not really prepared for public transportation. I

think that’s where SunRail has a consistent challenge.

Sheehan: I think it’s around 1,500.

6. A tree is about to fall over outside your house, and it’s on the city’s part of the property. Who do you call?

Olivarez: The city, of course.

Ross: That’s happened to me before. I have a number written down at my house that’s for the Public Works Department, so I would call them and hopefully they would help me through the problem.

Sheehan: Andy Kittsley, the urban forester for the city. Or the Parks Department, if you don’t know him.

7. Talk for a moment about the property tax rate. Is the current rate appropriate for the level of services the city provides?

Olivarez: It could not be, like for the homeowners and businesses that are suffering, but for people who rent apartments, I’m sure it’s OK. It depends on who you’re asking if it’s appropriate.

The homeowners may say it’s too high, renters not so much.

And that

also depends on where in Orlando you live.

Ross: No. What I want to know is how do you get $52 million in the hole and need a 17.7 percent tax increase to recoup? That doesn’t happen because you budgeted wrong. That happens because they projected home values to go a certain way and they didn’t. If every two, three years we need to look at the millage rate and say it’s not quite where it needs to be, then propose raising it slightly to let people digest it. I think it could have been done over periods of time, and the solution does not always rest with money.

Sheehan: Yes. There’s no way to maintain an ISO rating of 1 for fire and a police response time of three minutes or less unless you have a fully funded police and fire department, and I’m proud of what we do. When we average it out, each citizen is paying about $40 a month, less than what they pay for their cable bill. I don’t think it was too much, especially since people are now paying less than they paid in 2009. We need to be fair, but we also need to pay our fair share.

8. What is the status of the long-awaited Creative Village in downtown Orlando?

Olivarez: I’ve been seeing a lot of stories on that. The last thing I heard was people talking about the gentrification it could cause in the Parramore area.

Ross: Two articles came out recently, with one saying they were going to delay it, and the other said they were going to scale it back, so assuming the most recent one is the correct one, I think it’s a great thing that UCF is going to become a part of downtown.

orlandoweekly.com

Sheehan: Gosh, that’s just been tough. By partnering with UCF, we thought that would be a way to really get it jump-started. There was a $15 million appropriation, and darn it if the governor didn’t veto it. I mean, that’s the difficulty in Parramore, getting those catalytic projects to start redevelopment, and Creative Village is intended to be one. The soccer stadium we were able to come back from because the owner said he would pay for it and do it privately. But you know, we don’t have that kind of money lying around to help UCF.

Olivarez: I’m not into soccer, so I’m going to take a wild guess and say it’s in the thousands.

Ross: Originally, it was going to be 19,000 seats. I think now it’s going to be between 24,000 and 27,000 seats.

Sheehan: I think it’s around 30,000 seats.

City Council, district 6 is opponents call

H

City Commissioner Sam Ings “Silent Sam,” because they say he doesn’t speak up enough for the community he represents. The veteran law enforcement officer, who has served the district

since 2006, they say, makes feel-good appearances but is rarely in touch on the important issues.

“In this district, he hasn’t said anything, he hasn’t done anything, and that’s why we call him Silent Sam,” says Lawanna Gelzer, community activist and president of the National Action Network’s Central Florida Chapter. Gelzer is one of four people who’ve qualified to challenge Ings for his seat. “We also call him Spending Sam because he’s always overspending his budget.”

Gelzer and others all seem to think that District 6 – which is a mix of poor neighborhoods, industrial zones and touristy areas around I-Drive – needs more of a voice in city government.

“Commissioner Ings is basically invisible in the district, outside of I-Drive,” says candidate Marcus

Robinson, who’s running his third campaign against Ings. “When it comes down to functional things in the community, as a city commissioner, he’s basically invisible. The only time he’s out there is if they’re giving out some turkeys or book bags to kids.”

And what does the district need? According to all of the candidates, business development, economic opportunity, crime reduction and jobs that pay a living wage.

“There is no opportunity for people here,” says Nathan Chambers, a community organizer who says that while some regions of the city have experienced unprecedented growth, many District 6 neighborhoods (like Washington Shores, or Carver Shores) have languished. “If we can clean up Ivey Lane and Washington Shores and help small businesses, and

help people get business plans and help them create opportunity, the more people we can get to work.

The more people we get to work, the more we reduce crime.”

And it’s not just work the district needs, says Ka’Juel Washington, a law professor at Florida A&M University – people need a fair wage. “I think it’s important that we fight for $15,” Washington says.

“And one way we can do that is through government contracting. Anybody who has a city contract, or who wants to build a venue with us, everyone they hire needs to pay a minimum wage of $15 an hour. Some people don’t agree with that, and that’s fine – you shouldn’t have to go out of business, if you don’t support it. You just can’t do business with us.”

There’s no shortage of ideas among the challeng-

ers for improving people’s lives, but what about the incumbent?

His campaign called us to ask us if he could do the interview via email. We replied that we were only doing interviews in person or over the phone, and we were told he’d get back to us. The day we went to press, the campaign sent us a statement: “I have built strong relationships and partnerships with businesses to expand their companies in District 6, which has increased opportunities and jobs for many residents,” it reads. “Many developers have invested in our district because they see the potential and they are still investing in District 6.

should keep the progress by re-electing the only candidate experienced to lead and proven to serve.”

1. What is the millage rate for the city of Orlando?

Chambers: I believe it is 19.

Gelzer: It’s close to 7.

Robinson: Off the top of my head, I don’t know. But I know it went up.

Washington: Is it 17.7?

I’m not quite sure.

2. What is the average homeless population in Orlando?

Chambers: I’m not sure, but it seems too high right now. Different things create homelessness – it could be divorce, it could be loss of income, it could be anything. Most people are a flip of the coin away from being homeless, so we have to show some respect for humanity and make sure we are providing a permanent place for them, as well as creating temporary living for people who need help getting back on their feet.

Gelzer: I don’t know.

Robinson: I know that there are 6,300 people on the waiting list for affordable housing, and I can guarantee you that a lot of those 6,300 people on the Orlando Housing Authority’s waiting list are part of that number.

They may not all count as homeless, but if you have a waiting list of 6,300, that in itself is too much.

Washington: I know it’s high. I’m at the homeless shelter two days a week, and the Coalition for the Homeless is flooded.

3. What is the tallest building in Orlando?

Chambers: I think it’s the SunTrust.

Gelzer: I think the SunTrust is the tallest building.

Nathan Chambers

Robinson: Last I thought, it was the courthouse.

Washington: If it’s not the Bank of America building, then it’s probably the Centroplex building.

4. Is there such a thing as “too much” development downtown?

Chambers: It’s not too much development, but as a real estate broker, there’s demand and supply.

In downtown there’s high demand for land we have, and we should not be giving away 100 percent tax incentives to investors. …

We need a big enough tax base to create revenue for our city, so why give away so many incentives?

Gelzer: Absolutely. I have a problem with who is getting to develop in Orlando and who is benefiting from it. A prime example: How can the city sell the Orlando Police Department headquarters for $13 million, then turn around and take out a bond to build a new police headquarters for $60 million?

It does not add up to me.

I believe in development, but who is really benefiting from it? Not the community, not the city – it’s big developers and special interests.

Robinson: When I ran in 2004, I said to the editorial board of the Orlando Sentinel that the development they have planned for downtown is just going to make downtown too congested.

I thought it was too much for downtown. … And everything else, except for International Drive, is neglected when it comes to development. In District 6, especially, in the black section of District 6, you have a commissioner who hasn’t even created a plan for development. I came up with a plan, called the Southwest Economic and Poverty Plan.

Washington: Downtown, maybe not.

Because it is a downtown, and I understand what they are trying to do: Attract people downtown to shop, eat, attend the bars and all of that. There may be too much development than City Hall can afford, subsidizing through taxing. City Hall cannot afford that type of development.

5. What is the daily ridership goal for SunRail?

sure of the ridership, but I think it fills a need. The city is growing, and any sort of mass transportation is helpful. I am always for mass transportation.

Gelzer: I know it’s decreasing, and it’s going to continue to decrease, because it’s north to south, but you have not improved the east to west transportation. How can somebody come in from another county on SunRail, then it’s going to take them two hours to get to another destination from there?

Robinson: Low? Low. They should really take advantage of the nightlife in downtown Orlando.

Washington: I don’t know the ridership goal for SunRail, but I think we have an issue with ridership.

6. A tree is about to fall over outside your house, and it’s on the city’s part of the property. Who do you call?

Chambers: I would call the city, but which department I’m not sure. Most of the trees planted are in the easement, so they are the city’s responsibility.

Gelzer: [One lady that happened to] had to pay for the city’s portion of a tree because of the way it fell. It was an incident on the east side. That was wrong, because an elderly lady living on a fixed income did not have the right kind of coverage.

But I think it depends on where you live.

Robinson: If I’m the city commissioner, I work for you. You can call me and say, “Commissioner Robinson, I have a tree down.” The commissioner’s assistant should then take down the information and get in touch with whatever department it is and let them know to contact you within 24 hours. … Then I’m going to follow up. That’s the job of our city commissioner.

Washington: The first thing I do is call the utilities, in case it’s about to hit a power line. Then I call the Parks Department.

7. Talk for a moment about the property tax rate. Is the current rate appropriate for the level of services the city provides?

Chambers: The present tax rate,

Washington: My understanding is the commissioners get to appoint people.

10. Where does Orlando rank among the top 50 American metro areas in terms of median wage? How could your economic policies make life more affordable for the average citizen?

Chambers: I think we are 14th. What we need to do is, I’m for $15 an hour for minimum wage increase. It’s very difficult for a single mom to have two jobs and have kids and try to get by. We need a better standard of living in this town.

Gelzer: I might want to say we’re 50. But I’ll stick with between 35 and 45. You have to work with legislators to increase the living wage. We have got to do a livable wage. There’s no way in a serviceindustry job we can expect people to make it these days. We need to sit down and recognize that we have a problem. But we have politicians who do not realize how difficult it is to live on minimum wage.

Robinson: We’re last.

I was part of that walk for poverty on Labor Day, with Eric Gray. We are dead

last in wages, we are number one in tourism.

It’s a slap in the face, actually. Yet the machine keeps growing.

Washington: I am all for the fight for $15. That gives everybody a living wage. We have to do better than we are doing. …

My economic development plan is all about can we get city contracts to have a clause where if you hire people, you have to hire them at this set wage. We are going to be building all this stuff – Creative Village, police headquarters and other things further down the road – and when you hire somebody, we want you to hire them at a living wage.

Orlando ranks pretty low, and that’s one of the first things I’d try to do.

BONUS: How many seats is the Orlando City Soccer Club’s new stadium supposed to contain?

Chambers: I am not sure.

Gelzer: Between 24,000 and 25,000.

Robinson: 23,000.

Something like that. They should have just played at the Citrus Bowl.

Washington: I thought it was about 20,000. feedback@orlandoweekly.com

“Loathsome and wonderful all at once” Although he thinks Florida has gotten a bad rap in the news lately, John Hodgman is looking forward to his return

BY JE SSICA BRYCE YOU N G John hodgman: VaCaTionland 7 p.m.

Friday, Oct. 23 | Plaza Live, 425 N. Bumby Ave. | 407-228-1220 | plazaliveorlando.com | $25-$36

ohn Hodgman works a lot. He’s published three books. He’s in FX series Married. He’s still on The Daily Show (chiding those who fear change – as symbolized by Trevor Noah – not to worry, there’s still an old white man on the show).

He was in Pitch Perfect 2 this year. He’s a PC (or was, to Justin Long’s douchey Mac).

He’s resumed his column as “Judge John Hodgman” in the New York Times. And now another stand-up tour. Where does he get off calling that tour “Vacationland”?

Well: It was once Maine’s state motto, and it still appears on Maine license plates – and Hodgman has, in the last year, relocated to Maine.

“My wife loves the state of Maine more than any other place or human in the world,” so Hodgman recently purchased a home in Brooklin, Maine. He notes that he has thus moved “from Brookline [Massachusetts, where he was raised] to Brooklyn to Brooklin.” But we all know that Florida is the true Vacationland – just look at our tourism numbers! – and Hodgman doesn’t disagree.

In Maine, “the water is so cold it will try to murder you … even on land, it’s full of animals and people that hate you. Unless that’s your idea of a vacation, Maine is not the place to be. … Florida is warm and has pleasant beaches and water that does not try to kill you.”

In our interview, Hodgman fondly recalls two previous trips to Central Florida. When he was a teenager, “we performed Pirates of Penzance at a Florida high school; I was the Pirate King, which I still am in my daily

life. We were taken to some place by a manmade lake, from which you couldn’t even see a castle, and sang to like seven elderly people.” (The reporter suspects Hodgman has somehow conflated the Villages with Lake Buena Vista, but concedes that frankly, it’s all pretty much the same.)

As a teen wandering the Magic Kingdom, Hodgman says, he was overwhelmed, thinking, “‘This is loathsome and wonderful all at once! Everything is fake, even the things that don’t need to be fake!’ and I loved it,” he marvels.

“20,000 Leagues Under the Sea? Attraction, they call it; terrifying machine is what I call it. Where I come from, robots and water don’t mix. Robot fish, robot clams – I got so freaked out that it haunted me for years. I had a recurring fear that I would trip and fall into the lagoon. I’m getting goosebumps right now.”

The other visit (to Coral Springs) was just a few years ago, with fellow Daily Show correspondents Al Madrigal and Adam Lowitt.

“We were a little nervous about who was going to show up in the middle of the week, and whether they would accept that it was not a Daily Show-themed show.” But, echoing the pleased surprise of the dozens of out-of-town comics who’ve been here for the Orlando Indie Comedy Fest, he says, “It was one of the greatest shows of my life.” orlandoweekly.com

●

Hodgman is best-known in his various personae: the deranged billionaire, the expert on all world knowledge, the aforementioned PC. We’d like to say that in Vacationland, he’s going to be himself, but rather than dropping out of character, it seems he’s just trying on a new one (“bewildered Maine resident”). Hodgmaniacs will turn out for this show, though, no matter who he is that day – any fan of the man would be incapable of resisting him in a “one-human show” about “cairns, river witches, junkyards and death.” Also to be discussed: “The evolutionary purpose of the weird dad mustache; how to decide which small animals you should love as members of your family and which you should kill with traps and poison; and city buses, which, let’s face it, can pretty much end up going ANYWHERE if the driver goes crazy or just has a soul full of mischief.

It’s terrifying.”

Hodgman also wants people to know that he will hang around to “sign things and chat” after the show. Things like books and tour posters, we ask? “Things,” he says.

So, yes, you can purchase a print of the tour poster and have it signed, but apparently he’s also cool with signing your coffee mug or pet tortoise or whatever. Or maybe a robot clam, if you’ve got one. jyoung@orlandoweekly.com OCT. 21-27, 2015

concerts and working with the orchestra, but also finding new audiences and keeping current listeners energized – what happens with Jacobsen’s other projects: the Knights, Brooklyn Rider, Silk Road Ensemble?

He’s even part of the second show of the Accidental Music Fest season Dec. 4, playing cello in an ensemble performing music

by Steve Reich, Julia Wolfe and Michael Gordon. He’s not superhuman, after all.

“No, I’m not superhuman,” Jacobsen laughs, then says he plans to continue taking part in other projects unless or until it’s not possible. “The current plan is that everything will stay tight and good. Orlando is my family, Brooklyn Rider is my family … as I see it right now, everything fits.”

His enthusiasm for Orlando is boundless.

“The trajectory of this city is upwards and growing more than most,” he declares. “I think the Philharmonic is a part of that, in terms of growth musically and artistically.

It gives me pride.”

“It’s so ripe. It feels so ripe and so right to be there. I already feel pride that this group I’m with is helping the city to grow.”

Maybe Jacobsen’s approach to the OPO is akin to his philosophy of swimming in the ocean (see above): Rather than give in to any small fears, jump in and push yourself to swim as far out as you can. jyoung@orlandoweekly.com

fter a yearlong search, the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra has a new music director, and what a breath of fresh air he is. Conductor and cellist Eric Jacobsen brings to Orlando the fluency in modern and avant-garde musics that a younger cadre of local classical fans has craved (yes, they exist) – he’s a founding member of modern string quartet Brooklyn Rider and leads the innovative New Yorkbased chamber orchestra the Knights. He’s also just 33, a Brooklynite, a foodie and a digital native who tweets, Instagrams and makes Vines (good ones – take a look).

That’s not to say he can’t kick the hell out of traditional repertory, though. Raised by a professional violinist and a flutist, he

was steeped in the classical canon from birth. (His family didn’t bother buying a CD player until the 120-disc Jascha Heifetz collection came out.) Jacobsen’s official debut concert is a four-piece program that includes works by Beethoven, Tchaikovsky and Ravel, and thus is unlikely to alienate the grayest heads in the season ticketholder circle, but it’s the fourth piece on the program, a world premiere by Gabriel Kahane called Freight & Salvage, that has us on the edge of our seats.

“Gabe is known as a singer-songwriter and a classical composer – the doublesided nature of Gabe does lend itself to a communication to a younger audience and, let’s say, [gives him] a first audience with classical music listeners,” says Jacobsen of the program.

As for finding and serving those new fans, Jacobsen is optimistic. His five-year OPO contract means he’ll have “time to marinate.”

“The formula to bring in a younger audience is not necessarily solidified,” he says.

“Two things go on: ‘We should play this music because it’s great’ and a parallel, not necessarily conflicting, view: ‘We should try to rejuvenate constantly.’ We always want younger people to see what this music is.”

As the popularity of a current crop of festivals that combine modern classical performers with indie bands – like Big Ears, Ecstatic Music or Orlando’s own Accidental Music Festival – proves, part of appealing to young audiences is exploring new venues as well as new compositions by living composers. The OPO’s recent purchase of the Plaza ties directly into that aim, and Jacobsen is excited about it.

“When I was applying for this position, it was right after the Plaza had been purchased. How cool is it that an orchestra has a stage that is so versatile? … I’m into the low-fi, high-quality.” Jacobsen divulges that the OPO will present Mozart’s two-act opera The Magic Flute at the Plaza “in six months or so.”

“A place like the Plaza inspires a particular vision. You see the orchestra. You see the interaction. It’s the beauty of honesty.”

So, with all the goals of a new music director on the agenda – not just programming upcoming seasons, conducting

BAT BOY: THE MUSICAL

BY SETH KUBERSKY

PHOTO BY PATTY WOLFE

Last weekend, 31 days’ worth of art openings and events were squeezed into just 31 hours I’ve said September is my favorite month for Orlando arts, but this October is proving strong in both quality and quantity.

Last weekend alone saw 31 days’ worth of openings and events squeezed into barely 31 hours. It began Thursday at City Hall’s Art Legends of Orange County kickoff, where Terry Olson hosted local pioneers Texann Ivy Buck and Hal McIntosh to share stories of the Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival’s early days. Hours later, Pine Street was packed for CityArts Factory’s 6th annual Dia de los Muertos/Monster Factory event, featuring eerie arts and creepy crafts.

Friday followed with the funniest show seen yet in the Dr. Phillips Center, as Monty Python founders John Cleese and Eric Idle opened the two-night Orlando leg of their Together Again at Last … for the Very First Time tour. Friends for 52 years, the silly septuagenarians reminisced about working with David Frost and Marty Feldman; re-created their “Bookshop” and “Memory Lesson” skits; and screened rare clips, like a “Red Riding Hood” spoof filmed for German television. You haven’t lived until you’ve heard Idle lead a full house of sophisticates in a rousing sing-along of “Sit on My Face” and “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life.”

And we haven’t even gotten to the third edition of Cole NeSmith’s Creative City Project, which drew overwhelming crowds to downtown Orange Avenue on Saturday for free performances from the Orlando Ballet, Central Florida Community Arts, Cirque du Soleil and many more. The outpouring of interest in every imaginable arts genre – from Jeff Feree’s musical seesaw to Joshua Glenn Wilson’s ColorVox vocal video game to Mary Thompson Hunt’s Conversation Campfire – made me wonder why events like this can’t take over downtown on a monthly (or at least quarterly) basis.

In the midst of all that, I somehow managed to see two of the more ambitious theatrical presentations to hit Orlando in this (or any) October. Up first was opening night of Bat Boy: The Musical at the Abbey, the latest collaboration between Gen Y producer Aaron Safer and director Kenny Howard. Lovingly ripped from the long-lost pages of the trashy Weekly World News, Bat Boy turns tabloid tales of a chiropteran child into a mocking mashup of My Fair Lady, Young Frankenstein and Edward Scissorhands, with healthy dollops of Grand Guignol and incestual bestiality added for good measure.

Keythe Farley and Brian Flemming’s script is funny but flimsy, with obvious plot twists, and the score by Laurence O’Keefe (composer of Gen Y’s recent Heathers: The Musical) has a few killer tunes – “Hold Me, Bat Boy,” “Comfort and Joy,” “Three Bedroom House,” “A Joyful Noise” –

that are reprised a few too many times.

Fortunately, Howard’s all-star cast nails every nutty nuance, infusing the thin book with batty secondary business and exuberantly executing William Marchante’s ballroom-burlesque choreography.

Ricky Cona is fiendishly fantastic in the title role, icky yet adorable with his opera-worthy voice and ever-twitching fingers. He’s more than matched by Rebecca Fisher’s powerhouse performance as his adoptive (or is she?) mother, and Jennafer Newberry as his perky semi-sister, Shelley.

The cross-dressing, quick-changing ensemble, featuring David Lee and OW’s own Adam McCabe, earns applause as an entire town of addled rednecks. Their dialects may be dubious, but their vocal harmonies (musical directed by John DeHaas) are delightful; too bad the hard-rocking band buried most of their lyrics on opening night. The Abbey’s postage-stamp stage, which seemed adequate for Cabaret, feels claustrophobically cramped this time. But between designer Bonnie Sprung’s pop-upbook backdrops, Michael Wanzie’s goofy/ gory props and Kyla Swanberg’s costumes – which could start a riot at a Furry convention – Bat Boy will fulfill your kinky camp-fest quota in the absence of any area Rocky Horror Show stagings this season.

Speaking of horrorshow, the next night saw me at DRIP’s I-Drive theater for producer Jeremy Seghers’ immersive production of A Clockwork Orange, Anthony Burgess’ seminal exploration of ultraviolence versus moral choice. Star Anthony Pyatt Jr. was excellent as Alex, bringing a youthful vulnerability and lighthearted looseness that Malcolm McDowell lacked in Stanley Kubrick’s cinematic version; he was even able to infuse Burgess’ insipid original ending (wisely excised from the film) with emotional resonance. Brett Carson also excelled as a pickled priest preaching for free will, and fight director Jason Skinner was the show’s second star; his vicious violence smashed the fourth wall, thrillingly spilling into the audience.

With so many strong elements, it’s a shame Seghers’ innovative approach was severely undermined by the lackluster location. DRIP’s awkward seating, industrial lighting and awful acoustics made me nostalgic for the bad old days when Orlando Fringe happened in abandoned storefronts.

Mix in some iffy accents, overbearing vinyl-sourced background music and the text’s Russian-based “nadsat” slang, and I was only able to understand the dialogue because I already knew it by heart. It’s wonderful having Seghers’ boundary-busting vision back in town; next time, I hope he finds a venue worthy of it. skubersky@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

Seito Sushi’s renaissance, and Baldwin Park’s restaurant scene, has Jason Chin’s fingerprints all over it

By FAiyAz KARA SeITo SUSHI 4898 New Broad St. | 407-898-8801 | seitosushi.com | $$$

l

ong before his now-popular Osprey Tavern opened its doors, local restaurant impresario Jason Chin spent a decade nurturing, molding and steadily improving Seito Sushi into the slick joint it is today. Much like Baldwin Park’s dining scene, Seito Sushi languished for most of those years, but things seemingly took a turn for the better once Austin Boyd (Dragonfly Sushi, Norman’s Orlando) joined the team in late 2014. Since then, Seito Sushi appears refreshed and revitalized, and their dishes ever more Japanese (or “New Japanese”; so says the menu).

The trickle-down buzz from Osprey Tavern across the street certainly hasn’t hurt, as Seito appears as popular and bustling as ever.

Waiting an inordinately long period before our orders were taken gave us plenty of time to appreciate the Japanese illustrations on the squarish bill of fare, but the izakaya menu was what drew our notice.

Small-plate items, like slices of chimichurritorched wahoo ($12) over a wasabi-avocado puree, are featured on the weekend-only menu. The wahoo, as it turned out, was beyond oishii. Really. Order this. Bo ssam

bao buns ($10) with smoky pork belly, fried oysters, kimchi and lettuce were marvy too, but what of the ssamjang? The spicy paste was all but absent, which just made for dry bites. A veggie ramen ($12) is listed as an izakaya item (yes, the ramen trend has officially become entrenched), but we looked to the main menu and opted for shoyu ramen ($14) instead, and it’s a choice I’d make again in a heartbeat. A soothing broth fashioned from roast chicken and soy is liquid gold, with house-made noodles, cuts of grilled chicken thigh, slow-cooked egg, corn and carrots the proverbial nuggets. A side of shishito peppers ($6) graced with nori and bonito flakes are a complement to anything, in my opinion, but I especially enjoyed them in between sloshes of ramen.

Save for soft and mealy bigeye tuna, the moriawase (chef’s selection) of sashimi ($30) – gossamer slivers of branzino, Faroe Island salmon, Norwegian mackerel, hamachi, Deer Creek oysters and sweet tamago – otherwise proved to be a wise choice. The “Distinguished Gentleman” ($16), comprised mainly of lobster, American wagyu and truffle aioli, was like surf and turf in a roll.

Our server could’ve been a little less blasé and a little more refined, though the same could be said of dessert. Take the “bananas Foster” ($7), for instance: One server pre-

sented us with a bowl of vanilla ice cream, and another spooned cooked bananas into the bowl. Really? I could understand if the other server were there to perform a tableside flambé, but spooning bananas into a bowl? C’mon. Sure, ginger liqueur and black sesame dress up the dessert, but the tepid and mushy bananas made it an utter bore. Five-spice French toast ($6) carried nary a whiff of one spice, let alone five, in the brioche, so I’ll say this: Come for the sushi and izakaya; don’t stay for dessert.

Requisite craft cocktails, along with a decent wine, sake and beer list, might keep Baldwin Parkers slaked, but it’s Chin who keeps them thirsty for more. With Osprey Tavern and the renewed Seito Sushi, he’s single-handedly injected new life into the gastronomic heart of Baldwin Park. It might be premature to say a resurgence is underway in this decade-old neighborhood, but Jack’s Steakhouse is also hopping onto the chef-driven trendwagon by rebranding itself to Provisions & Buzz Co. (look for it Nov. 5). In recent years, restaurants along New Broad Street have failed to impress me, but I get a sense this might change in the near future.

Baldwin Park, this could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

oPenInGS The long-awaited NOVA Restaurant in Ivanhoe Village opens next month in the space that once housed Brian’s Restaurant and Elliot’s Public House … Jack’s Steakhouse in Baldwin Park will soon be known as Provisions & Buzz Co. Expect the rebrand to roll out to the public Nov. 5 …

The Smiling Bison in Sanford has opened … Pepe’s Cantina is open now in Hannibal Square … Hinckley’s Fancy Meats has filled Local Roots’ display case inside East End Market with locally farmed artisan meats. Owner Matt Hinckley was a former chef de cuisine at Michelin-starred Public in NYC … Remember Chili Daddy’s on East Michigan Street? Well, that popular chili purveyor is setting up shop inside the Dancing Pigs Deli on South Orange Avenue. Classic Texas Red will be available every day along with one other chili, which will rotate daily.

CloSInGS Frank & Stein’s Winter Park on Fairbanks Avenue has gone the way of Shipyard Brewing and Strollo’s Cucina Due … Flying Fish Café on Disney’s Boardwalk will close Jan. 31 for extensive renovations …

Brown’s Deli in Maitland has closed.

All vestiges of the old Peacock Room are erased at the Guesthouse, Mills 50’s newest, chillest hangout. The many hanging plants (and the nifty palm-print wallpaper in the restrooms) give it a fern-bar feel; the lighting’s soft glow and the cushion-strewn couch pick up on that pick-up vibe. The walls, ceiling and floor are all dark, and the flickering candles and hanging globes give this bar the most flattering lighting ever.

Slate It’s a “see and be seen” kind of place, but chef Dominic Rice serves up seasonal dishes that, for the most part, are competently executed. Oak-fired pizzas (a necessity, it seems, for any new joint worth its weight) are worth a look, as is the gnocchi with short rib Bolognese. A heavy-handed spice rub marred delicate tilefish, but succulent flatiron steak served with crisp green beans, marble potatoes and smoked butter is nice. Sticky toffee pudding makes for a saucy ending.

Decent wine and cocktail list. Open daily.

The Boathouse Giant 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, but 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.

Mains like masala bhindi (okra) and aloo saag (creamy spinach with potatoes) are properly spiced and simply delightful. 4642 S. Kirkman Road, 407-730-8800; $$

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; to end without sampling either the cannoli or tiramisu would be a mistake. 1468 Tuskawilla Road, Winter Springs, 321-422-3600; $$$ n

OPENING IN orlando

The LasT wiTch hunTer

By Ste v e S c h n e i de r

Opening this week Jem and the Holograms A friend of mine works in an office with a lot of millennials, which is why she was recently afforded the delightful experience of hearing one of her coworkers query if the Jem and the Holograms movie is “based on something old.” (Why, yes it is. Know what’s even older?

The back of my hand!) Meanwhile, fans of the mid-’80s cartoon series are worrying that the movie will stray too far from canon. Sounds like a perfect storm of cross-demographic dissatisfaction comin’ right atcha. As for supporting players Juliette Lewis and Molly Ringwald, I’m sure they’re just glad to be here (i.e., anywhere). (PG) The Last Witch Hunter Having directed the bomb Sahara, Breck Eisner should be box-office poison. But being Michael Eisner’s kid, he still gets “attached” to a variety of largely hypothetical projects, including dreaded remakes of Escape From New York and The Karate Kid. One picture he actually saw to the finish line is The Last Witch Hunter, in which Vin Diesel plays an immortal hero tasked with stopping a coven of crones bent on ravaging New York. Wow, the best elements of Highlander II and Ghostbusters II, all in one package; Eisner’s a shoo-in to direct that Maid to Order reboot now. (PG-13) Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension Jesus, they’re still making these? Well, sort of: Paramount swears Ghost Dimension is the final chapter in the found-footage franchise (I know, I know: Tell it to Robert Englund). More significantly, your options for catching the flick are going to be narrower this Halloween season, since a number of chains have refused to show a feature that’s going to be available on VOD only 17 days later. Hey, it’s still twice the production schedule on these things! (R) Rock the Kasbah So this is why Obama wants us to stay in Afghanistan forever: so burned-out rock managers like Richie Lanz (Bill Murray) can scour the country for fresh new talent. I don’t know if I’m seeing the Murray of today as an Idolmaker type, though; sure, the Murray of the Jerry Aldini era would have filled the bill nicely, but that was well before he discovered Wes Anderson and oxycodone. And while Barry Levinson has done some fine work, I don’t know if he has the directorial voltage to shock Murray back to life at this late stage – certainly not enough to compete with the single greatest music manager ever depicted on film, Howie Gold’s Guy Friesch in Fear of a Black Hat. (Watch it again!) (R) 30

Written in three days and shot in five, iSteve is the first full-length film from Will Ferrell’s Funny or Die online comedy outlet, a parody of the trials and tribulations of Jobs’ trek through the highs of “Silicon Mountain” and the lows of “Silicon Valley.” As the first biopic released after Jobs’ death from cancer in 2011, it is enjoyably sacrilegious and irreverent.

HHHHH

G

ive screenwriter Aaron Sorkin and director Danny Boyle credit for making a biopic that skirts tradition. Give them demerits for the Aaron Sorkin-ness of it all, the non-Danny Boyle-ness of it all.

Sorkin has written a screenplay that resembles a three-act play – he did start his career as a playwright, after all. And he has filled it with all the things Sorkin fans love. There’s the rapid-fire dialogue in which each character speaks in the same voice, sometimes even speaking the same sentences in the same scene (“I don’t know what that means” is a big one).

There is the blocking that dictates the actors must almost always be on the move (in those moments Boyle channels his inner Thomas Schlamme, director of many episodes of The West Wing, but thankfully leaves out the hot spots).

Most exhaustingly, Sorkin deploys the writerly contrivance of setting all the action moments before Big Events – the product launches of the Macintosh in 1984, the NeXT computer in 1988 and the iMac in 1998. You know what’s perfect for ramping up the tension, kids? When the main character has a finite amount of time to resolve a bunch of

JobS Written while Jobs was on medical leave for pancreatic cancer, this 2013 bio-fiction follows Steve Jobs’ life from the Los Altos garage days through his re-hiring and the iconic “Think Different” commercial. The first image of the movie, the introduction of the iPod in 2001, is the last chronological moment, assuming you know the story of Apple’s mid-aught innovation and market domination. And, like that first iPod, Ashton Kutcher’s haircut and presentation feels pretty clunky. – Matt Stieb

personal and professional problems before he has to talk to thousands of punters about his latest gizmo!

Steve Jobs focuses on Jobs (Michael Fassbender, who looks and sounds nothing like the Apple co-founder but gives a decent performance) and his shitty personal relationships with his daughter Lisa, her mother Chrisann (Katherine Waterston), his put-upon employee Joanna (Kate Winslet), Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak (Seth Rogen) and Apple guru Andy Hertzfeld (Michael Stuhlbarg). Learn about Jobs’ feelings about his two adoptions, his biological father, his treatment of the Apple II team, his dismissal from Apple, his terrible parenting skills and his complete lack of empathy.

Or don’t. Few of the moments in this movie happened the way they’re rolled out here – what are the odds that every intimate crisis a person has ever had will need to be ironed out in the 40 minutes before a product launch? Or before three product launches?

It isn’t all bad. Rogen is a charming Wozniak, and there’s a dynamite scene in the movie’s NeXT section between Fassbender and Jeff Daniels, who plays former Apple CEO John Sculley. If there had been more moments like the Jobs/Sculley scenes and fewer like all the others, Steve Jobs would be much, much better. As it is, it’s pretty humdrum.

Steve JobS: the LoSt IntervIew I’m not sure which is more nauseating: the idea of sitting through 70 minutes of Steve Jobs prattling on about the advantages of a yet-to-be-realized iLife – which is rapidly consuming every aspect of organic culture – or knowing that Mark Cuban helped make this Urkel-circle-jerk a reality. – DTB

Steve JobS: one LaSt thIng This PBS profile from 2011 explores the difficult visionary through interviews with Apple co-founder Ronald Wayne, Steve Wozniak, Pixar co-founder Alvy Smith and others.

just don’t care no more,” says 30-year old rapper Hopsin, explaining the impetus for the provocative, God-doubting track “Ill Mind of Hopsin 7” off his new album, Pound Syndrome. “As I get older, I get more mature. I see life from a different perspective and it’s just like, ‘Why not?’”

In the video, he wanders a parched desert while intoning equally bereft and searching lyrics.

“Is this where I belong? Is it wrong to not believe in right and wrong,” he asks, before ultimately turning his back on the Christian faith he fervently embraced all too recently. “My gut feeling says it’s all fake … I’ll be damned if I put my own pleasures aside for an afterlife that isn’t even guaranteed.”

God and rap have never been close.

(Maybe it was that phase when it kept saying it was gonna bust a cap in someone’s

ass.) That hardly inhibits Hopsin. From his clothes and white contacts to his musical choices, he’s always charted his own path. “‘Ill Mind 7’ is a gospel record in a way, but it doesn’t feel like gospel because it’s done in my way,” he says, still weighing his blasphemy. “God is maybe a thing kids never heard a rapper even mention, other than saying ‘ohmigod,’ so at least I put the thought in their minds.”

The song’s the product of a spiritual crisis the author of gold-selling singles “Sag Your Pants” and “Ill Mind of Hopsin 5” has grappled with the past year. The Los Angeles-based performer even went so far as to announce he was going to quit rap in December before backing away from that decision this year.

It follows an incident in late January 2014 when a disillusioned Hopsin walked out the back door of the venue without performing, spending the show sitting at a construction site. He recounts the event on Pound Syndrome track “Fort Collins,” featuring his friend and label/tour-mate Dizzy Wright.

Wright convinced Hopsin to stick with it.

“It took a lot of time to get what I have,

so many years, and he just didn’t want to see all that work go to waste,” Hopsin recalls. “He just made me see it from a different perspective. So everybody had made an album for 2015, so I just decided to make another one as well. I didn’t want to be the weakest link on the label.”

The main issue seems to be one of disgust for his peers and what radio endorses.

“It’s just that the mainstream world is very sided towards bullshit music,” he says, citing the Auto-Tune boom. “If it was me with my control over it, I would just be, ‘I don’t care, if this guy can’t rap, he will not be played’ … because that would keep rap alive. If Dr. Dre worked at a radio station, I can’t see this bullshit getting through.”

Hopsin has taken time during this past year to heal himself and balance the work/ life demands that amplified his frustrations. He’s trying to compartmentalize his life to keep it away from the backdraft of this Hopsin character he’s created.

Wearing that mask for weeks at a time can be exhausting.

“It’s equivalent to a male doing a porno scene and you have to do a scene that day where you fuck 20 women. You bone hard the first two or three women, then it’s like 17 more women coming through, better keep that boner up,” Hopsin laughs. “It’s like, ‘Ohmigod, it’s starting to hurt. Can I stop please?’”

It’s sort of Hopsin’s personal take on “No Sleep Till Brooklyn.”

Failure

BY B AO L E - H U U

Our music community has always

been extraordinary in its support of its own in times of need, and this is definitely one of them. Bryan Raymond – a guitarist in elite local heavy band Junior Bruce – was in a very bad motorcycle accident on Oct. 12. The good news is that his condition, though critical, is stable enough for surgery. The bad is that he’ll need many because his body is completely shattered.

Besides a talented musician, Bryan’s a devoted father, a hell of a gardener, and just a good guy. So please send some strength, love and – if you can – financial help his way (donate at gofundme.com/ y56bck74).

Although often irresistably sweet, there’s something intellectually cheap about culture revivals. One noble result that sometimes comes of them, however, is the chance to correct history with some perspective. So while the ’90s revival is in full moon, the time’s ripe for overlooked bands like Failure and Hum to reunite, bring the original golden flame back to life and make a renewed case for their place in the canon.

Both groups have the somewhat canceling honor of being both critically esteemed but popularly forgotten.

Hum and especially Failure mostly slipped through my personal net as well, so this concert was almost as much discovery for me as it was for the kids. And apart from the warm-up from new-school underground titans Torche, their joint show

This is a band gunning hard to get back in the game.

(Oct. 11, House of Blues) was a big, choice slab of atmospheric ’90s heaviness.

With a consistent and deliciously palpable fog of space drone, Illinois’ Hum proved deeper and greater than just their minor 1996 hit, “Stars.” They weren’t much to look at, what with the anti-image adopted in certain alternative corridors of the decade. But with long, beefy sonics and crushing beauty, their sound was unmistakably, impressively there.

L.A.’s Failure has been especially serious in their ambition. Theirs is no basic reunion. With the release of their first new album in almost two decades (The Heart Is a Monster) over the summer, this is a fullon comeback campaign. Producing an album as well-received as it’s been and playing live with no sign of rust after this much time would be proof enough of their will. But on stage, they came fresh with splash and vigor, giving their clarified and progressive space rock the wings of swank visual displays and an enhanced lighting rig. Failure isn’t reentering the arena just to collect retroactive propers. This is a band gunning hard to get back in the game.

DeYarmond Edison is an early 2000s Wisconsin band you may not have heard of but whose splinters you probably have.

From the cinders of their 2006 dissolution emerged the phoenixes Bon Iver,

Megafaun and Field Report. That last one is the vehicle for Chris Porterfield, who just made his first Orlando appearance solo (Oct. 15, the Social).

Field Report – which is less impressionistic than Bon Iver and less outlandish than Megafaun – is definitely the most poporiented of the three brother bands. That said, Porterfield’s indie-folk songs also sigh a hushed Northern kind of beauty, blowing down cool, lonely and yearning like a Great Lake breeze. That their muted shimmer translated with little loss in shine even without a full band shows that the music’s center of gravity is the quiet power of Porterfield’s voice.

The performance of headliner Noah Gundersen, however, was a mindchanging revelation. Musically and emotionally, this Seattle singer-songwriter paints in subdued hues. On record, the huddled bedroom vibe can sometimes be so subtle as to be barely there, on the verge of evaporating like an early morning reverie.

But live, it’s a very different experience. Music that seemed pleasant but ephemeral was revealed to be deep and sweeping when played at volume and with powerful intent by a good, well-furnished band. What often receded into the wallpaper – gentle edges of gospel, soul and country – sprang to sudden life and purpose. And it culminated in one of the most enveloping soft shows I’ve seen in ages, a polished, full-mast and gorgeous performance that will forever change the way I hear his recordings. baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

OUR PICKS FOR THE BEST EVENTS THIS WEEK

Wednesday, 21

A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors With a screenplay by series creator Wes Craven and then-unknown Frank Darabont (The Shawshank Redemption, The Walking Dead), it’s not surprising that the third installment of the Nightmare on Elm Street series is often considered one of the best. The film touches on subjects a little deeper than the usual raging hormones and teenage angst that slasher flicks tend to address, like mental illness, addiction and recovery, and the travesty that was the media’s portrayal of tabletop roleplaying games in the ’80s. But don’t worry: There are still plenty of raging hormones, and the substantially increased budget for this iteration of the series resulted in some set pieces and stylish killings that are hard to forget. Just remember: Don’t. Fall.

Asleep. – Thaddeus McCollum

ART In what may be the event of the season for fans of gothic and macabre art, Gods & Monsters is putting on an exhibit featuring art from some of the brightest – er, darkest – talents in the field. The night is anchored by art and a personal appearance from horror legend Clive Barker, best known as the writer and director of Hellraiser, the 1987 film that launched a series about the sadomasochistic adventures of the extradimensional Cenobites.

You’ll also find works by comics artist Ben Templesmith (30 Days of Night, the criminally underrated Fell), local painter Vaughn Belak and West Memphis Three member Damien Echols. Drinks flow in the Offworld Lounge, and a performance by gothic fetish burlesque act Defenz Mechanizm caps the evening. – TM

JOEY BADA$$ PHOTO BY GARY ASKEW

There’s no way you spun Joey Badass’ debut studio album B4.DA.$$ and didn’t immediately nestle into its old-school bump. The young rapper gets criticized for borrowing too heavily from his influences, but the chewy listen at last properly introduced the rising hip-hop star, no matter what growing pains you might prescribe for any stylistic lack on the otherwise critically praised release.

Joey Badass is exactly the kind of young star we ought to prop up, so go get a piece of his mind and if you’re real gung-ho, spring for the VIP meet-andgreet. – Ashley Belanger MUSIC

Orlando Zombie Ball

FOREIGN DISSENT - KAMIKAZE GIRLS

You needn’t be one of the walking dead to enjoy the Orlando Zombie Ball, but you may well be shambling like one by the end of the night. This Halloween dance-stravaganza features the turn-of-the-century steampunk stylings of theatre troupe Phantasmagoria, spooky-good beats from DJ performance artist Power Infiniti and some straight-up circus madness courtesy of Cirque USA. We’re talking fire dancers here, people; we’re talking about people hanging from the ceiling dressed in mad costumes and contorting their bodies in ways that boggle the imagination. If that’s not your bag (it should be, you party pooper), throw your mask or toga or whatever onstage for the $1,000 costume contest, test your courage in the haunted scare zone or tune in to one of the 13-plus DJs and performers who’ll keep you howling at the moon all night long. And believe us, there will be plenty of howling, thanks to the open bar. – Bernard Wilchusky

Foreign Dissent 2 With a talent pull that’s national and beyond, the Fest (Oct. 30-Nov. 1, Gainesville), over its 14 years of existence, has become the region’s monolith of punk-rock festivals.

Organizing satellite shows that take advantage of the band influx around it has become a cottage industry unto itself. Orlando pop-punk promoter Punching Babies distinguished itself in the rush last year with Foreign Dissent, a nowannual themed showcase that features fresh international faces that travel from especially far away to play the Fest. For this second edition, Foreign Dissent has assembled a delegation of seven overseas acts, more than half of them making Orlando debuts. Bands include Astpai (Austria), Great Cynics (UK), Wonk Unit (UK), Überyou (Switzerland), Kamikaze Girls (UK), Irish Handcuffs (Germany) and the debut of Bad Accent, a German outfit also featuring members of notable area bands Teen Agers and Dikembe.

Come see this night of sweet, anthemic discovery become a tradition. – Bao Le-Huu

The Mystery Meat A pirate-themed car meet? Sure, why not. The fourth annual incarnation of this massive automotive event encourages attendees to dress up as pirates, or even costume their cars. Pit your sweetest ride against other attendees in drag or auto-x races, à la Top Gear, or just spectate as gearheads bring their custom rides to the burnout box and peel out safely for the enjoyment of all. Special exhibition cars way fancier than yours show off on display and on the track. This year marks the first time the event is held at Orlando Speed World, as it finally got too big for the meager racing and parking options available downtown, but it’s not like downtown needed more cars in it anyway. – TM

Gang of Four MUSIC It’s OK to feel conflicted about the restructured Gang of Four that released this year’s What Happens Next on the back of guitarist Andy Gill, the only remaining original member still in the lineup. We have no idea how our favorite post-punk lashings from Entertainment! will translate live under this new crew, since original vocalist Jon King’s fierce delivery factors hugely into the band’s legendary appeal.

But any invested fan cannot deny the mega-influential guitarist remains a huge draw, even if the new record made you shrug instead of shoulder into the shred. – AB

If you carrot all about veganism or healthy living, then this is the event for you. The Veg Fest has only gotten bigger each year, so please, romaine calm when you get to the Orlando Festival Park and see the plethora of vendor tents and food stands. Local favorites like Dandelion Communitea Café and Drunken Monkey Coffee Bar will be on the premises with their delicious vegan dishes. Veg Fest will also have many musical acts dropping the beet all day, such as Raspberry Pie who at 1 p.m. will be “laying the dunk on some sweet, sweet funk!” When you’ve hit maximum belly capacity, take a break from eating and catch one of Veg Fest’s education programs or take a quick yoga class with Warrior One Power Yoga. This festival is going to be huge, so get ready to turnip, veg out and leave in peas. Kale yeah! – Marissa Mahoney

be ready if you are too preoccupied with old friends and familiar teachers. So please make room for surprises.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) According to the online etymological dictionary, the verb “fascinate” entered the English language in the 16th century. It was derived from the Middle French fasciner and the Latin fascinatus, which are translated as “bewitch, enchant, put under a spell.” In the 19th century, “fascinate” expanded in meaning to include “delight, attract, hold the attention of.” I suspect you will soon have experiences that could activate both senses of “fascinate.” My advice is to get the most out of your delightful attractions without slipping into bewitchment. Is that even possible?

It will require you to exercise fine discernment, but yes, it is.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) One of the largest machines in the world is a “bucket wheel excavator” in Kazakhstan. It’s a saw that weighs 45,000 tons and has a blade the size of a four-story building. If you want to slice through a mountain, it’s perfect for the job. Indeed, that’s what it’s used for over in Kazakhstan. Right now, I picture you as having a metaphorical version of this equipment.

That’s because I think you have the power to rip open a clearing through a massive obstruction that has been in your way.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock did a daily ritual to remind him of life’s impermanence. After drinking his tea each morning, he flung both cup and saucer over his shoulder, allowing them to smash on the floor. I don’t recommend that you adopt a comparable custom for long-term use, but it might be healthy and interesting to do so for now. Are you willing to outgrow and escape your old containers? Would you consider diverging from formulas that have always worked for you? Are there any unnecessary taboos that need to be broken? Experiment with the possible blessings that might come by not clinging to the illusion of “permanence.”

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) In the coming weeks, you will have a special relationship with the night. When the sun goes down, your intelligence will intensify, as will your knack for knowing what’s really important and what’s not. In the darkness, you will have an enhanced capacity to make sense of murky matters lurking in the shadows. You will be able to penetrate deeper than usual, and get to the bottom of secrets and mysteries that have kept you off-balance. Even your grimy fears may be transformable if you approach them with a passion for redemption.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) New friends and unexpected teachers are in your vicinity, with more candidates on the way.

There may even be potential comrades who could eventually become flexible collaborators and catalytic guides. Will you be available for the openings they offer? Will you receive them with fire in your heart and mirth in your eyes? I worry that you may not

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Are you an inventor? Is it your specialty to create novel gadgets and machines? Probably not. But in the coming weeks you may have metaphorical resemblances to an inventor. I suspect you will have an enhanced ability to dream up original approaches and find alternatives to conventional wisdom.

You may surprise yourself with your knack for finding ingenious solutions to long-standing dilemmas. To prime your instincts, I’ll provide three thoughts from inventor Thomas Edison. 1) “To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk.” 2) “Just because something doesn’t do what you planned it to do doesn’t mean it’s useless.” 3) “Everything comes to those who hustle while they wait.”

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Some unraveling is inevitable. What has been woven together must now be partially unwoven. But please refrain from thinking of this mysterious development as a setback. Instead, consider it an opportunity to reexamine and redo any work that was a bit hasty or sloppy. Be glad you will get a second chance to fix and refine what wasn’t done quite right the first time. In fact, I suggest you preside over the unraveling yourself. Don’t wait for random fate to accomplish it. And for best results, formulate an intention to regard everything that transpires as a blessing.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) “A waterfall would be more impressive if it flowed the other way,” said Irish author Oscar Wilde. I appreciate the wit, but don’t agree with him. A plain old ordinary waterfall, with foamy surges continually plummeting over a precipice and crashing below, is sufficiently impressive for me. What about you? In the coming days, will you be impatient and frustrated with plain old ordinary marvels and wonders? Or will you be able to enjoy them just as they are?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Years ago, I moved into a rental house with my new girlfriend, whom I had known for six weeks. As we fell asleep the first night, a song played in my head: “Nature’s Way,” by the band Spirit. I barely knew it and had rarely thought of it before. And yet there it was, repeating its first line over and over: “It’s nature’s way of telling you something’s wrong.” Being a magical thinker, I wondered if my unconscious mind was telling me a secret about my love. But I rejected that possibility; it was too painful to contemplate. When we broke up a few months later, however, I wished I had paid attention to that early alert. I mention this because I suspect your unconscious mind will soon provide you with a wealth of useful information, not just through song lyrics but other subtle signals, as well. Listen up! At least some of it will be good news, not cautionary like mine.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) When I advise you to GET NAKED, I don’t mean it in a literal sense. Yes, I will applaud if you’re willing to experiment with brave acts of self-revelation. I will approve of you taking risks for the sake of the raw truth. But getting arrested for indecent exposure might compromise your ability to carry out those noble acts. So, no, don’t actually take off all your clothes and wander through the streets. Instead, surprise everyone with brilliant acts of surrender and vulnerability. Gently and sweetly and poetically tell the Purveyors of Unholy Repression to take their boredom machine and shove it up their humdrum.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Terence was a comic playwright in ancient Rome. He spoke of love in ways that sound modern. It can be capricious and weird, he said. It may provoke indignities and rouse difficult emotions. Are you skilled at debate? Love requires you to engage in strenuous discussions. Peace may break out in the midst of war, and vice versa. Terence’s conclusion: If you seek counsel regarding the arts of love, you may as well be asking for advice on how to go mad. I won’t argue with him. He makes good points. But I suspect that in the coming weeks you will be excused from most of those crazy-making aspects. The sweet and smooth sides of love will predominate. Uplift and inspiration are more likely than angst and bewilderment. Take advantage of the grace period!

Put chaos control measures in place for the next time Terence’s version of love returns.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) More than any other sign, you have an ability to detach yourself from life’s flow and analyze its complexities with cool objectivity. This is mostly a good thing. It enhances your power to make rational decisions. On the other hand, it sometimes devolves into a liability. You may become so invested in your role as observer that you refrain from diving into life’s flow. You hold yourself apart from it, avoiding both its messiness and vitality. But I don’t foresee this being a problem in the coming weeks. In fact, I bet you will be a savvy watcher even as you’re almost fully immersed in the dynamic flux.

B Y D A N S AVA G E I’m a straight guy, married for 16 years, kids in school. My wife cannot find a way to be intimate with me. We’ve had therapy individually and together. I nearly divorced her, but we decided to stay together – we do love each other, and the economics and child-rearing favor it. After I asked for a divorce, she fucked the shit out of me for the first time in 10 years. That was the last time she fucked me. She’s “broken” – her word, not mine, and her final answer. When the subject of affairs came up in the past, she said, “I wouldn’t blame you.” I could jack off only so many times before I cracked.

I went online and met a very sexual woman with a strictly NSA thing for married men, and we fucked.

I plan on doing it again. I know this could go all kinds of bad ways, but divorce just isn’t realistic.

We had that one conversation, but we do not have an explicit understanding. I don’t want to head into my 50s with 10-plus years of celibacy behind me and decades of celibacy ahead of me. But I want to keep my marriage. Which kind of idiot am I? Help Understanding Boundary-Breaking Yearnings

If I were required to answer particular types of questions based on the percentage of the mail they constitute, I would answer two questions like yours every week, HUBBY. The majority of the mail I receive is from unhappy people in sexless marriages they either don’t want to end or can’t afford to end.

So which kind of idiot are you? The most common kind, I’m afraid.

I’m going to take a break from questions like these because I’m sick of the subject and my regular readers must be, too. But for you, HUBBY, and one last time, here’s my advice for people in your situation: Do what you gotta do to stay married and stay sane. Have a convo with the wife about the accommodation you require – permission to get it elsewhere – to stay in the marriage. Reassure her that you’re prepared to spend the rest of your life with her while emphasizing that you refuse to be celibate for the rest of your life. So every now and then, for your own sanity, and for the greater good, you’re going to have sex with other women.

You’ll do it discreetly, rarely and NSA-ly, but you’re gonna do it. If this isn’t something your wife can accept, then your only other option is divorce.

These are things I (28, gay, male, single) did last night, and they show how fucked up I am. 1) I hooked up with a guy off Craigslist. It was lame, he wasn’t cute, I was bored. 2) I came home and went on Tinder (which says I’m looking for an LTR, despite that hookup). I saw a guy from the gym – but he didn’t swipe right, and I was devastated. 3) I went online and sold a pair of my used undies.

I don’t know what I’m doing with my life. I could use some advice. I’m sure what you say won’t be nearly as bad as what the voice inside my head is yelling at me.

What Is My Life?

1) I hooked up with this dude once, and it happened so fast – and it was so sleazy – that I had to fish his driver’s license out of his wallet when he was in the shower because I couldn’t remember his name. And that sleazy hookup led to a relationship

so good that I wound up marrying sleazy hookup dude. Twice. So in my experience, and the experiences of millions of other people in LTRs with people they fucked the first time they met, hooking up isn’t proof that someone isn’t looking for an LTR. So that underwhelming hookup doesn’t make you a hypocrite, OK? 2) Gym dude isn’t into you – just like you weren’t into the dude you hooked up with last night. Are you into every dude you see at your gym? No. Do you swipe right on every dude you see on Tinder?

No. So you got rejected quickly and impersonally, but you’ve dished out that kind of rejection, too. Don’t be a hypocritical baby about it, OK? 3) You made an underpants perv very happy, and you made yourself a little money. Nobody was lied to or misled, no one got hurt and the total amount of joy in the world ticked up slightly. You have nothing to be ashamed of, OK? One eventful night does not an out-of-control sleazebag make. But if you feel out of control, take things slower. Resolve to be a bit choosier about who you hook up with, remind yourself to be grown-up about rejection when it comes your way, and refrain from kink-shaming yourself the next time you make an underpants perv’s day.

I’ve come into professional contact with a respected and successful artist. She is a woman in her 60s; I am a man in my 40s. I’m really attracted to women who are strong, talented and smart.

She’s all that, and funny. I’ve never been attracted to someone that much older than myself. Nobody bats an eye when a guy gets with a woman who is 20 years younger, but how do I pursue her without her thinking I have some creepy fetish? I’m pretty average, I have an unusual but boring job, and I don’t have any kinks or fetishes to speak of. I’ve gone out of my way to make her feel special on several occasions, but it has only caused her to remark on my great customer service – and not in a flirty way. How can I let her know that I want to move into something else besides a professional relationship without creeping her out?

She Makes A Real Turn-on

Set aside the age difference, and how you met, and those sexist and dehumanizing double standards. (An older man with a younger woman is an attractive guy with game, an older woman with a younger man is a fetish object with no self-respect.) Set all that aside, SMART, and what do we have left? Person A is attracted to Person B; Person A doesn’t know how Person B feels, so Person A has to hit on Person B. Even if Person A does their best to mitigate the risks of creeping out Person B the risk cannot be entirely eliminated.

Your best bet is to be unambiguously direct with her (“I think you’re great, and I’d love to take you out on a date”) and to invite her to be unambiguously direct with you (“If you’re not interested, just say no – I’m a grown-up and I can handle rejection”). And if she’s squicked out by the age difference or wonders if you’re a fetishist, urge her to Google the term “sapiosexual.”
