Chemtrail bans to be debated in the 2025
Legislative session, Ladapo thinks fluoride makes you crazy, and other news you may have missed.

» Feds are holding nearly $400K for underpaid Orange County workers
The Biden administration’s labor cops (i.e., investigators with the Department of Labor) are asking workers in Florida who were underpaid or unpaid by their employers to claim money they are lawfully owed. As of Nov. 1, the U.S. Department of Labor is holding onto roughly $4.7 million in back wages that they recovered for 7,484 workers in Florida who were either underpaid or unpaid in violation of federal wage and hour laws over the last three to five years. This includes 428 workers in Orange County alone who are owed nearly $400,000 in unpaid wages altogether. See, when or if someone files a complaint with the department, alleging that their boss has violated wage or hour laws, the department investigates. If the allegation is true, the department will order the employer to directly pay affected workers what they’re owed. If the employer isn’t able to find them (perhaps they’ve moved onto another job, for example), they give the owed wages to the feds, who will then try to find the worker(s) themselves. According to the DOL, many of these wage theft cases occur in Florida’s service, hospitality, construction and agricultural industries. If you think your boss underpaid you and you might be owed money, visit Workers Owed Wages (https:// webapps.dol.gov/wow) to see if the feds are holding onto money for you. No, this isn’t a scam — while the state doesn’t do anything to combat wage theft, the federal government does, with the limited resources they have.
» Florida’s surgeon general now advises against adding fluoride to drinking water
Last week, Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo — echoing viewpoints propagated by Robert F. Kennedy, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to become the nation’s chief health official — recommended against community fluoridation of drinking water. Ladapo’s past advice on health issues, however, has been roundly criticized by others in the health care arena. This latest suggestion was swiftly rejected by the group that represents Florida dentists, which countered that fluoridation is one of the “most effective and affordable public health measures” around. Ladapo asserted a “neuropsychiatric risk associated with fluoride exposure,” citing studies that allege exposure to fluoride increases risk of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and lower IQs. Ladapo estimated that 70% of Florida residents are on community water systems with fluoridated water. The Florida Dental Association says, however, that fluoride helps prevent tooth decay, and said there is decades of “sound scientific” research backing its safety and effectiveness.
» Proposals filed for 2025 legislative session include chemtrail bans and more
State senators are off to a quick start filing bills as they gear up for the 2025 legislative session, which begins March 4. House and Senate committees will meet in parts of December, January and February to start sifting through proposals in the lead-up to the 60-day session. Bills filed so far for consideration during the 2025 session include: a measure (SB 48) aimed at closing loopholes used in condo foreclosure auctions; a proposal (SB 58) that would amend boating laws and add the death of an “unborn child” to the definition of “vessel homicide” through reckless boat operations that cause injury to the mother; a bill (SB 46) that would establish a list of programs and degrees a nonpublic, religious postsecondary educational institution may offer to be exempt from state licensure; and a proposal (SB 56) seeking to prohibit the injection, release, or dispersion of chemicals or an apparatus into the atmosphere “for the express purpose of affecting the temperature, the weather, or the intensity of sunlight.”
ESSENTIAL TOILS
Florida’s hospitality lobby asked state lawmakers for a way to allow undocumented workers to fill labor shortages. Then they abandoned the idea. Now Trump wants those workers deported
BY MCKENNA SCHUELER
Last year, as Florida’s service and hospitality industries scrambled to address labor shortages worsened by the state’s harsh new immigration policies, the major lobbying group representing them pitched an idea to state legislators that they believed could help: Why not make it easier for employers to lawfully hire the sizable number of undocumented immigrants who have lived and worked under the table in Florida for years?
The Sunshine State is home to the country’s third-largest population of undocumented immigrants — 747,000, as of 2022 — who contribute roughly $1.8 billion to the state’s economy through local and state taxes. Behind construction and agriculture, hospitality is the top industry employing the largest shares of the country’s undocumented workforce. It’s also a pivotal industry in Central Florida as a popular tourist destination, home to major theme parks like Disney World, Universal Orlando and SeaWorld.
The Florida Restaurant and Lodging Association, a state affiliate of the politically influential National Restaurant Association, went so far as to draft legislation for Florida
lawmakers’ review last year, according to documents Orlando Weekly exclusively obtained through a public records request.
Dubbed the Essential Worker Act, the proposal sought to create an “essential worker” permit program allowing people who have lived in Florida for at least three years, and who meet certain eligibility criteria, to be lawfully employed in the state. Under a controversial immigration law (SB 1718) approved by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in 2023, employers who knowingly hire or recruit undocumented workers in Florida can be subject to penalties that include the suspension of their business license.
“This doesn’t establish permanent citizenship and doesn’t confer any rights that accompany permanent citizenship,” an explainer document for the restaurant lobby’s proposal reassures. “It only provides a mechanism to lawfully work.”
The draft legislation, which does not explicitly mention the term “undocumented,” was clearly pitched as a way to address staffing troubles.
“The Legislature recognizes that there is an insufficient workforce in the state, which will lead to a significant reduction in economic
would be required to pay an initial $500 fee for the permit and to renew their permit at a cost of $100 annually.
Additionally, all applicants would be required to provide evidence of employment or a job offer within 30 days of submitting an application. Applicants with limited English proficiency would be required to make a “good faith” effort to “become proficient in the English language at or above an intermediate level.” (The term “intermediate level” is not defined, as one attorney for the Florida House points out in draft documents.)
According to a recent blog post from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the leisure and hospitality industries have experienced the highest quit rates of all industries since 2021. The Florida Restaurant and Lobbying Association, a group with allies on both sides of the political spectrum, represents more than 10,000 restaurant owners and hoteliers statewide, with a board of directors that includes executives from companies like the Ritz Carlton and Loews Hotel at Universal Orlando.
Yet, despite going so far as to send their “Essential Workers” proposal off to bill drafting late last year, the proposal was never publicly filed for consideration. It was abandoned by the FRLA ahead of Florida’s 2024 legislative session, records show, as the group rallied behind a successful right-wing effort to leverage teenagers to fill industries’ labor shortages instead.
“We are opting to shelve this proposal for the time being,” wrote FRLA lobbyist Samantha Padgett, in a Dec. 6, 2023 email to an aide for Democratic State Rep. Joe Casello. “We are certainly grateful for the Representative’s willingness to help.”
Email communications retrieved through the Florida Senate show the proposal was also pitched to Florida Sen. Ana Maria Rodriguez, a Republican from South Florida who showed interest in carrying the legislation on the Senate side.
activity and have a deleterious impact on the state’s businesses, families, and communities,” the draft legislation reads. “It is the intent of the Legislature to devise an essential workers initiative through which industries in the state can attract and retain employees that are needed to operate, meet consumer demand, and remain ahead of strategic competitors or adversaries.”
Under the proposal, qualified applicants are defined as individuals “without authorization who intend to work in the state,” including adults or minors with a parent or guardian’s permission. With their application, they’d be required to provide proof that they have lived in Florida for at least three years. Such proof could include records such as rent receipts, school or hospital records, birth certificates of children born in the U.S., insurance policies, mortgages or “similar evidence,” according to the draft.
Applicants with felony convictions on their record, a drug or alcohol addiction, or history of certain infectious medical conditions, such as syphilis or gonorrhea, would not be eligible for the program, which would be enforced by the Florida Department of Commerce. Applicants
Rodriguez, the daughter of Cuban immigrants, voted in favor of Florida’s 2023 immigration law, which even Republican agricultural commissioner Wilton Simpson later admitted could have “unintended consequences.”
“I do think that there are unintended consequences in our construction industry, in our hotel, restaurant, lodging,” Simpson said last August, one month after the 2023 law took effect. “And I don’t know that we fully understand the downside to the new law. I know the intentions were good.”
With announced plans from President-elect Donald Trump for mass deportations of undocumented immigrants beginning on day one of his presidency, Orlando Weekly reached out to Padgett to ask if her group was planning to re-pitch this “essential worker” initiative to Florida lawmakers for consideration in 2025. She declined to say. “While FRLA actively engages in policy development and advocacy that supports a strong workforce and strong economy, we have not yet finalized our legislative agenda for the 2025 session,” she wrote in an email. However, after Padgett relayed her group’s

desire to “shelve” the proposal last year, she indicated the draft could see a possible return. “We are hoping to revisit this issue in the future,” she wrote to Casello’s aide last December.
Jeremy Haicken, president of UNITE HERE
Local 737 — a labor union that represents thousands of employees in Orlando’s tourism and hospitality industries — welcomed the idea.“This proposed legislation is an acknowledgment that the billionaires who own and run Florida’s hotels can’t get the work done without the thousands of undocumented immigrants who work alongside workers with legal status,” Haicken told Orlando Weekly in a statement, after we sent the union a copy of the draft proposal.
Haicken’s local is currently in union contract negotiations with the Hilton Buena Vista Palace and Doubletree Universal, with existing contracts for hotel staff set to expire at year’s end. “Let’s cut the anti-immigrant rhetoric and focus on protections, raises and health insurance for everyone working in the hotel industry,” said Haicken.
Under another Trump presidency, and in a state with an increasingly red Legislature, it’s possible that the priorities of the state’s restaurant and tourism lobby will shift. While the FRLA declined to offer comment on Trump’s immigration platform and his deportation threats, their national affiliate has subtly raised the alarm.
The National Restaurant Association wrote in a post-election memo that they hope the Trump administration will support immigrants “who contribute to the economy, like those in the hospitality industry.” In response to Trump’s deportation plan, the association said, “We are assessing what impact such actions could have on supply chains for agriculture products, as well as workers in the industry.”
Vice President-elect J.D. Vance has claimed that 11 million undocumented immigrants can expect to be deported within six months of Trump’s inauguration, according to the New York Times, and another 2.7 million people with temporary protection from deportation — through DACA or other humanitarian programs — also face an uncertain future. Tom Homan, Trump’s pick for “border czar,” has said the plan would focus on undocumented people with criminal histories.
It’s expected to be costly, if it does materialize. The American Immigration Council, an immigration policy think tank based in Washington, D.C., released a report last month estimating that Trump’s deportation plan could cost taxpayers at least $315 billion, a figure that includes the cost of arresting, jailing and removing people, as well as the estimated impact on the U.S. economy and tax base.
Trump, however, has claimed there is “no price tag” that would be inappropriate for carrying out the plan. Economic experts predict the proposal could cause increased inflation, labor shortages, and delayed growth and profit for small businesses in industries that employ higher numbers of immigrant workers.
The National Home Builders Association, another influential industry group with a state affiliate in Florida, even publicly came out against
Trump’s deportation proposal ahead of the 2024 election, warning it could push up home prices and inhibit home builders’ ability to put up more affordable housing amid an ongoing shortage.
“It would be detrimental to the construction industry and our labor supply, and exacerbate our housing affordability problems,” Jim Tobin, CEO of the National Association of Home Builders, told NBC News in October.
The Florida Home Builders Association did not respond to an email request for comment on the implications of Trump’s deportation plan. Similarly facing worker shortages in their own industry, however, the group supported a measure in Florida this year that allows more young workers (age 16 and older) to work jobs previously deemed too “hazardous” for minors on construction sites. The group argued the bill, approved by Florida lawmakers with bipartisan support, would help teens “identify tangible career goals” and “remove barriers to economic self-sufficiency.”
Critics, however, framed it as a ploy to fill labor shortages with cheap labor. “If you look at who is supporting these efforts to try to weaken child labor laws across the country, it’s the same companies who are often leaders in wage theft problems,” David Weil, former head of the federal U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division under the Obama administration, previously told Orlando Weekly. “So what are they doing? They’re trying to find the least-cost way of expanding their labor supply.”
Florida is one of 31 states that have sought in recent years to weaken child labor protections, often with the support of industry groups and right-wing think tanks such as the Florida-based Foundation for Government Accountability. Weakening federal child labor law to allow more minors to work “hazardous” jobs is also on the agenda of Trump allies.
Felipe Sousa, executive director of Hope CommUnity Center — an advocacy organization in Apopka that serves more than 20,000 mostly immigrant families each year — said the Trump administration’s deportation threats have instilled a sense of fear and sadness in Central Florida’s immigrant communities. They’ve also forced families, whether undocumented or of mixed status, to have difficult conversations about how to plan for the future.
“I think that it’s important for all of us to be really clear that these threats are real,” Sousa told Orlando Weekly . President-elect Trump has tapped several officials for his incoming administration who are expected to embrace his deportation wishes, including Homan and longtime policy adviser Stephen Miller, an alleged white nationalist and the architect of policies that put unaccompanied children in cages during the separation of families at the U.S.-Mexico border during Trump’s first term.
“We should expect nothing less than what he [Trump] promised,” said Sousa, “which is one million deportations a year. And that’s going to create a disastrous impact on immigrant families, but also on all of us.”

‘WE HAVE TO RESPOND’
Orange County commissioners reluctantly consider new law banning sleeping in public, if only to avoid risk of lawsuits
BY MCKENNA SCHUELER
The Orange County Board of County Commissioners last month had an uncomfortable discussion about how to react to a new state law that bans sleeping on public property.
The law, pitched to state lawmakers by the conservative Cicero Institute, holds local governments accountable for enforcing the ban. It officially went into effect in October, but doesn’t open the county up to potential lawsuits for alleged violations until Jan. 1, 2025.
The conversation, building on previous discussions county leaders have had since the law’s passage, made several county commissioners on the dais visibly uneasy.
“I think we have to be really careful not to craft something that will end up being really costly on the back end, and inhumane,” cautioned county commissioner Nicole Wilson, sharing concerns about the impact on the criminal justice system. “We are better than that.”
Many municipalities in Florida, including Orlando, already had local bans on public encampments in place that preceded the statewide ban — punishable through fines, jail time or both.
Orange County, however, does not. And as local nonprofits warn of a dearth in homeless shelter capacity, amid a sharp increase in homelessness, county leaders said they hoped new initiatives county staff have come up with (such as increasing shelter capacity, landlord incentives and investing in tiny homes) will help prevent the county from being forced to arrest or jail people whose only “crime” is that they don’t have a place to sleep.
“I believe that with the additional dollars we are allocating this year, it allows us to begin to more adequately address the growing challenges that we have,” said Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings, who formerly served as Orlando police chief and Orange County sheriff. “Every major metropolitan community and even some small rural communities are dealing with this issue across America because of circumstances, economic circumstances, that are really, truly out of our control,” he added.
The county government allocated about $45.6 million in this year’s budget for homelessness services, then added another $10 million to the bucket after the statewide camping ban got the approval of Florida’s Republican-controlled Legislature and Gov. Ron DeSantis, who argued
homeless encampments “intrude” on Florida’s citizens and “undermine their quality of life.”
At the same time, Mayor Demings acknowledged that the new state law, which would allow private citizens and business owners to sue the county over violations effective Jan. 1, places them in a risky — and potentially costly — position.
“We have to respond,” Demings admitted. “And with this January date looming very soon, it is important that we continue to be proactive and prepare for the future.”
Several other cities and counties in Florida have already either approved local versions of the encampment ban or have expressed an intent to do so ahead of January, according to county attorneys. Broward County approved a local ban recently, “clearly adopted in response to the new statute,” explained Orange County attorney Dylan Schott, while Palm Beach and Miami Dade counties already have encampment bans in place.
Neighboring Osceola and Seminole counties plan to pass their own local bans in the coming months, according to Schott, as do the cities of Lake Buena Vista — the mailing address for Walt Disney World — and Maitland. Orlando’s neighboring cities of Ocoee, Windermere, Winter Garden and Winter Park either had existing encampment bans in place or adopted them after the state ban was signed into law earlier this year.
Under the new state law fully effective Jan. 1, local governments that receive notice of alleged violations of the statewide encampment ban will have five days to “cure” or fix the violation before anyone can take legal action against them.
A local ordinance essentially mirroring the state ban, according to Schott, “could reduce the risk of litigation and give the county some defenses should a lawsuit be brought against the county.”
If someone does sue the county for allegedly harboring or condoning public encampment, it’ll be taxpayers’ money on the line.
Orange County, with a population of more than 1.4 million, has seen rapid growth over the last decade. Average rents, however, have also shot up. A historic effort by Orange County leaders and voters to limit rent hikes in 2022 was ultimately voided thanks to realtor and developer lobbying groups. Available shelter capacity for those who can no longer afford the area (or have been evicted) is limited.
According to Lisa Klier-Graham, manager of the county’s Mental Health and Homelessness
division, Orange County currently has a deficit of 926 shelter beds. In addition, advocates say existing shelters often impose certain rules for entry that can be prohibitive, like mandatory curfews, a no-pet policy or requiring people to be sober. (For people with severe drug or alcohol dependence, this isn’t just an inconvenient requirement — without medically assisted detox, it could become a matter of life and death.)
The county is currently working with the city of Orlando to create a new low-barrier shelter that is less restrictive for people with complex needs, and therefore more accessible. By making it a 24-hour, open-access shelter, staff say the shelter should pose little disruption to surrounding neighbors. But in the meantime, the scope of homelessness in the county has proved a visible and growing problem.
An annual count of homeless people across the region, conducted earlier this year, identified a 28 percent increase in overall homelessness from 2023, and a 153 percent increase in unsheltered homelessness, specifically — meaning, people living on the street, on sidewalks, in the woods or in other spaces not meant for habitation.
Orange County had more than 800 unsheltered people, according to the count, which has, nonetheless, been widely considered an imperfect tool that likely undercounts the full scope of homelessness.
In recent years, both Orlando and Orange County have adopted what’s known as a “Housing First” approach to homelessness, which recognizes that in order for a person to address other problems they might have in their life — such as addiction or unemployment — they first need a safe and stable place to sleep at night.
“We have adopted the housing first model, because the data supports that it works,” said Klier-Graham.
County staff presented ideas to the county commissioners for what the county could accomplish with the extra $10 million county leaders allocated for homelessness solutions earlier this year. Goals include expanding existing initiatives, increasing shelter capacity and launching new initiatives.
Altogether, the county proposed allocating $3.6 million to expand existing programs and services and $6.4 million for brand-new initiatives. The new initiatives aim to target populations particularly vulnerable to homelessness, such as senior adults (who make up a growing proportion of the unsheltered population), homeless people with mental health and substance use disorders, and young adults aging out of the foster care system.
Ideas from county staff include:
Tiny homes ($1.85 million/year): The county would purchase tiny homes for unsheltered people, between 140 to 400 square feet, to serve as permanent supportive housing. The cost would depend on the manufacturer, but could range from $12,000 to $60,000 per unit.
Housing for homeless seniors ($725,000/ year): The county would add 10 new units to an existing supportive housing complex, Maxwell Gardens Apartments, specifically for unsheltered adults aged 50 and older. This program would offer assistance with permanent housing placement, 24/7 case management, food and employment assistance.
Hotel renovation ($1 million/year): The county would renovate a hotel “previously known for criminal activities” to create transitional housing for 54 unsheltered people with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. The program would offer behavioral support with daily programming, similar to a residential treatment program.
Landlord incentive ($500,000/year): The county would offer incentives to landlords to waive credit history screening and to accept tenants with up to two evictions on their records. Incentives would include a “risk mitigation package,” emergency rental assistance and coverage of losses, in the event a tenant misses rent or damages property.
Emergency bridge housing ($1 million/ year): The county would establish emergency temporary housing in hotel rooms for up to 30 unsheltered families, which the county estimates could reduce the unsheltered population by 120. The families would be connected with case management to assist in finding more permanent housing.
Job and skills training (included in bridge housing funding): The county would partner with community agencies to identify low-income or homeless adults to participate in an accelerated skills training program through Valencia College, with a goal of finding jobs that offer no less than $17 to $20 per hour.
Housing for former foster care kids (cost TBD): The county would establish a supportive “microhome village” for up to 60 young adults aging out of the foster care system who lack a familial support system.
None of these ideas are yet set in stone; all are still subject to county leaders’ approval. Staff believe these new initiatives and the expansion of existing programs will be able to help serve 1,020 unsheltered people in the county.
“Orange County is determined to take a holistic approach regarding homelessness by providing comprehensive services to the unhoused in our community,” said Klier-Graham, “while also minimizing the risk of litigation associated with the new bill.”
It’s unclear when county leaders can be expected to follow in the footsteps of neighboring municipalities and move forward with an ordinance to ban sleeping or camping on public property. But while commissioners seemed unhappy with the idea, no one outright expressed opposition to what was framed as an inevitable next step.

HOLIDAY SHOPPING FOR THE CREATIVE ORLANDOAN
Keep your money in the community this season
BY MATTHEW MOYER AND JESSICA BRYCE YOUNG
If you’re looking to knock out your holiday shopping this year without the dubious aid of Amazon — thus keeping your money, and hopefully our small businesses, in the community — Orlando has you covered with a plethora of shopping options for all ages and interests. For jewelry and stylish threads, amazing finds are lying in wait all over town. First off, we have to mention Dear Prudence in Audubon Park (instagram.com/dearprudenceorlando),
where you can find all manner of fashionable jewelry, accessories, clothing and funky gifts. This will, sadly, be the neighborhood staple’s last holiday season at their current location, as they’re switching over to a hybrid pop-up and online-seller situation. For the edgier friend or loved one, Chainkiller and SteampunkGarage (find them both on Etsy) deal in wearable heavy metal, all custom-made. The aesthetics are more punk and alternative, but the craftsmanship is
top-tier. Both will be popping up all over town this holiday season at various markets. So will Lou Jewels (loujewels.com), the brainchild of metalsmith and artist Shannon Cartwright. Her minimalist designs are infused with whimsy without tipping over into wacky, sure to be appreciated by any creative spirit forced to work a day job.
For home goods and decorative items, shop local and you’ll be rewarded. We’ve called out Gold Dust Home (golddusthome.com), housed in an adorable Mills 50 bungalow, before — but we stand by our conviction that nowhere else in “meatspace” Orlando will you reliably find objets and items to please the most terminally online shopper. Veer Collective (veer-collective.com), on the other hand, is perhaps the most of-Orlando shop in Orlando; sitting inside Alchemy Salon’s digs in the Milk District, it’s an ever-changing selection of locally created scents, sculpture, tie-dye, ceramics, fiber art and more. The former Heavy in Winter Park has morphed into Garden Tiger in Ivanhoe Village (hellogardentiger.com) and is a great place to score new leafy friends of all varieties of stylish vessels for same. Golden Bee Fleurs, also in Ivanhoe, offers up unique and creative floral arrangements great for a host gift, as well as artisan cheese, tree ornaments and more (thegoldenbeefleurs.com).
For eclectic stocking stuffers for interests all over the map, try Nevermind Millie on Edgewater (nevermindmillie.com). The corner store offers up gift items like buttons, keychains, stickers, hats, pens all with clever pop-culture callbacks — and it shares space with Impact Fitness Studio, which cleverly camouflages exercise in the guise of just dancing to club hits for 30 or 60 minutes. (Fun and sweat, how Orlando can you get!) Atomic Horror on Colonial (atomichorror.com) has the monster-movie fanatic in your life sorted with every possible type of ghastly ephemera on offer. The Winter Park boutique Frank on Morse Boulevard has a little bit of everything; plenty of homewares, soaps and candles, jewelry, stationery and even items for the kids (frankshopwp.com).
Hobbies and collectibles are also well-represented with a legion of area retailers. The music fans in your life will be spoiled by purchases from the likes of Remix Records, Rock -N- Roll Heaven, Park Ave CDs or the newly expanded and relocated Foundation Records in College Park — the latter also have a heavy selection of vintage rock tees from the 1980s onward. (Find them at remixrecordshop.com, instagram.com/ rocknrollheavenorlando, parkavecds.com and foundationrecordsfl.com.)
Budding shutterbugs who don’t want to depend on smartphones can be outfitted with film cameras courtesy Kiwi Camera Service (kiwicameraservice.com) and Colonial Photo & Hobby (cphfun.com). Both spots have staff on hand to help you find the camera that’s right for you. Colonial Photo even develops film on-site.
Fans of the geekier side of life will be pleased by gifts from area collectible emporiums like
Acme Superstore in Longwood, Living Dead Comics in Curry Ford and Blackbird Comics & Coffeehouse in Maitland. Acme (acme-superstore.com) is a strip mall unto itself packed to the gills with comics, toys and ephemera from 60-plus years of fandom. Living Dead (facebook.com/livingdeadcomics) is a cozy spot near Clemons Produce stuffed with toys, Funko Pops, comics and graphic novels; while Blackbird (theblackbirdroost.com) is a great place to for the next generation of funnybook fans to get stocked up on their reading (plus they serve coffee!).
5 LOCAL GIFTS THAT WON’T BE RETURNED:
Doug Rhodehamel Christmas ornament: Exclusively(!) sold at the eclectic and elegant Golden Bee Fleurs in Ivanhoe, this robotic ornament will both spice up your holiday decor and support a local legend. Artist Rhodehamel whipped up these multicolored retro-style robots that would make your tree or wreath look that much more futuristic and festive. Call it R2, call it Robbie, just don’t call is Scrooge.
Endless Apple Pie or Endless Cherry Pie mead: Just released a couple weeks ago by Mills 50 mead purveyor Zymarium Meadery, these two new flavors are attractively bottled and offer autumnal vibes aplenty. These dessert meads are made with local honey, pie spices and Michigan fruit sourced directly from small orchards. Sample in their taproom if you’re at all indecisive!
Burrow Press books: For your recently transplanted friend or native Floridian loved one, a selection of tastefully designed volumes from Central Florida’s Burrow Press is just the thing. We suggest Florida Man: Poems, Revisited, by Tyler Gillespie; All the Places We Love Have Been Left in Ruins, by Ariel Francisco; Radio Dark, by Shane Hinton, and Bright Lights, Medium-Sized City, by Nathan Holic.
Hellcats College tote bag: No longer just the province of the NPR set, tote bags are officially “in” amongst the clued-in of all ages. If someone on your gift list is tote-curious, local design and T-shirt company Hellcats USA has the best one in town (and those Burrow Press books would fit into it so nicely …). This black tote is festooned with stylized illustrations of a butterfly, tombstone, snake, intertwined broken hearts, a rose, spider web and several more foreboding symbols. Bonus: They’re also selling a gift-tag sticker set for the holidays.
Event tickets: If you’ve got dinero to spare-o, a season subscription to the Orlando Ballet, Orlando Philharmonic, Opera Orlando, or Orlando Shakes 2025/26 season would be a big swing. But even if you can’t swing that, consider an Orlando Fringe FestN4 package for the January “mini Fringe,” or VIP opening night party and screening tickets for next April’s Florida Film Festival, or tickets to next spring’s Beer ’Merica or Brunch in the Park (presented by yours truly). For some people, it’s all about experiences, not objects — but you can still keep it local!

SWORDS AND SORCERY
Journey to medieval and mystical realms with local artistic mage Friday Trismegistus
BY MATTHEW MOYER
Dragons, court fools, valiant knights and mythical creatures taken out of the familiar context of stern woodcuts and dour prints, instead transported to a realm of vibrant colors and amorphous liquid vistas all populate the work of designer and magus Alicia Sales, working under the “hyper-persona” Friday Trismegistus. This weekend you are invited to voyage into Trismegistus’ aesthetic fiefdom, and experience her alchemical art firsthand.
The exhibition Do What Thou Wilt , at Framework Craft Coffee House’s Chained Gallery, takes the timestream-sipping nature of vaporwave’s graphic aesthetic but travels much further back than, say, Miami in the 1980s. More Merlin than Max Headroom. Trismegistus’ prints take the iconography and illustration style of medieval art and plunges it into a surrealist phantasmagoria of vivid colors and lights.
Trismegistus’ interest in medieval art is no mere dabbling; they are a serious student.
“I’ve been working with medieval imagery for almost a decade, but my drawings manifested during lockdown. During this time, I felt like a monk and poured through art archives of illuminated manuscripts and incunabula, and spent hours upon hours out of my unemployed days copying images to mimic their style as a way to develop my own,” they explain. “I like the flat and distorted proportions, absurd mixed creatures, and dreamlike imagery from these texts.”
Trismegistus cites medieval and mystical texts like Splendor Solis, The Drolatic Dreams of Pantagruel, Hieronymus Bosch and Pieter Bruegel the Elder as some of the influences.
Trismegistus, a graphic designer by trade with a background in painting and printmaking, has developed an artistic practice that takes modern design tools like Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop and applies these to classical forms and scenes … and then transports them into a Technicolor fever-dreamland.
“Digital art is wonderful and I love to really lean into it as an art form without emulating analog methods,” says Trismegistus.“Most of these figures were drawn by hand with an ink pen, then scanned and processed into my programs. ‘Sphynx 2’ and ‘Monk’ are actual paintings done with crayon and watercolor paint. ‘Jester 1’ is entirely vector.”
The highlights are many. Archival pigment prints “Lyre” and “Flute” feature the same whimsical hooded creature, plucking a lyre and playing a flute against a background of bold red hues.“Fool” features a two-headed jester clutching a flower and a knife, suspended in a frame that looks like old PowerPoint slides. “Knight 1” and “Knight 2” take the heroic archetype and transforms it into a almost Charlie Brown/Bosch pastiche, using thick marker lines and diminutive stature. The watercolor “Sphynx 2” presents a celestial human-animal hybrid that quite literally contains the sun and stars within its chest. “Demon 1” is a digital and hand-illustrated hybrid, a surrealist dragon clutching a scythe and waving off gleaming orbs.
Creating something new and precious from familiar elements and techniques all befit Trismegistus’ interest in alchemy and applying the underlying principles of that mysterious craft to their art.
“Alchemical artwork is deeply symbolic and encoded within the images are processes of significant change, signifying both material change in the outer world and spiritual change within,” says Trismegistus. “My work isn’t alchemical because I appropriate symbols and drawing styles, it is alchemical through my efforts of making the internal external and using the imagery that emerges from that process as a language.”
DO WHAT THOU WILT opening 7 p.m. Friday, Dec. 6 through Dec. 31 Framework Craft Coffee House 1201 N. Mills Ave. instagram.com/frameworkcoffeehouse free
Though the title of the exhibition is an Aleister Crowley reference (“Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law”), Trismegistus has no real connection to that diabolical mage, beyond a similar impulse for explorations without boundary.
“Everything I do, I do for love and for fun, and through that I have been able to know myself better and connect with others on a deeper level. My magick is different, more psychological, and wholly my own,” says Trismegistus. “[However] I like that it feels like a call to action.”
Their work is at the intersection of the material and the divine, Hermetic philosophies, Jungian theory, early surrealists, leavening wisdom with compassion, finding balance in contrasts and how communities formed in pre-industrial Europe. This is not chaos magic, but creating new utopias.
“I believe Alicia Sales is a phenomenal artist who has truly tapped into the ether,” says Chained Gallery curator Sapphire Servellon. “Alicia’s work in Do What Thou Wilt offers a playful yet profound take on modern-day alchemic practice. … [They are] undeniably someone to watch as they continue to shape the local arts scene.” arts@orlandoweekly.com
“Sphynx 2” by Friday Trismegistus (2022, watercolor and crayon)
It’s an old joke that ‘military intelligence’ is an oxymoron. Thanks to Orlando-based actress turned entrepreneur Janine Klein, ‘military emotional intelligence’ soon might not be
I can’t think of a period within my lifetime when Americans were more polarized than they are today, and I’m not just talking about the red/blue political division that was laid bare in last month’s presidential election. Every day it seems like the gulf widens between our nation’s heads and hearts, as technology and tradition tussle in a tug-of-war tearing our intellect and emotions in opposite directions. Stepping into that breach is Janine Klein, an Orlandobased actress turned entrepreneur, who has built a successful small business by bridging the gap between artists and the Air Force. It’s an old joke that “military intelligence” is an oxymoron, but “military emotional intelligence” soon might not be, thanks to Klein’s company, Eii (eiieq.com), and their clever combination of cutting-edge video games and old-fashioned improvisation. If Janine Klein’s name rings a bell, it’s probably
because she’s been making appearances in this column for nearly 15 years, starting with a shoutout for the 2010 Fab Fringe fundraiser, and her powerhouse performances have been featured in countless previews and reviews over the years. A native of New Jersey who was raised in Florida by theater-loving parents, Klein initially studied opera at North Carolina School of the Arts before switching to musical theater. She’s since played everything from the Wicked Witch of the West in The Wizard of Oz and Misery’s Annie Wilkes to a RuPaul’s Drag Race backup singer, supporting her best friend Joshua Eads (aka Ginger Minj), with whom she co-starred in Hedwig and the Angry Inch, as well as countless Sleuths Mystery Dinner shows.
You might not expect a drag-friendly diva to become the CEO and sole owner of a company that trains members of the armed forces, but Klein’s career path was forever changed when she witnessed a demonstration at UCF of TeachLivE, a prototype online virtual classroom. “I was obsessed with the technology,” she says. She recalls thinking, “This is the missing
After initially working for the company that purchased that technology, then being laid off during the pandemic, Klein formed her own LLC called Eii — for “Emotional Intelligence Institute” — and reached out to some programmers behind one of today’s most popular online games. “I called everyone I could find on LinkedIn that worked at Roblox to tell them that I was doing this incredible work with these avatars with the Air Force, and they were blown away,” says Klein, who ended up getting customized military uniform avatars and several years’ worth of server data for free. “They were instrumental to the success and the growth.”
Today, Eii has developed its own avatar and claims scores of Air Force bases on its client roster, but the basics remain the same: Trained actors adopt personas and interact with officer trainees in emotionally sensitive scenarios — ranging from death notifications and sexual assault to suicide prevention — in the guise of
CGI characters, which Klein says are intentionally crude to avoid the uncanny valley.
“If you’ve got a Polar Express look going, you’re freaking people out. There’s something about these avatars, keeping them cartoonish and just emotional enough, that does not hurt the participant. They don’t focus on the way the person looks [and] it’s somehow disarming.” Their exteriors may be artificial, but although Klein anticipates leveraging AI someday, for now the intelligence beneath Eii’s avatars remains entirely human, and often driven by Orlandobased actors.“I can’t imagine a robot giving a death notification that their son [or] their daughter has died in battle [that’s] going to be authentic. And I haven’t found any machines that can duplicate what a sexual assault victim feels like internally.”
As a self-described “treehugger,” Klein didn’t set out to be a military contractor, but says that soldiers are the ones who needed Eii’s services most. “At the end of the day, they’re real people. It took me a while to get used to that they’re not just lieutenant colonels; they’re human beings.” In fact, the company is branching out into white-label services for leadership consultants, and looking for more ways to train first responders and veterans. “I want to help people find their own internal creativity that they never really had a chance to explore when they were in the military, and I want to find a way to help people find what speaks to them creatively.” Over and over again during our conversation, Klein brought up the importance of “empathy.” That’s a quality many fear is endangered, especially under the incoming administration, but Klein sounds confident that Eii’s retention-boosting training will continue to be in demand, as long as leaders still need to have difficult conversations about topics like denied promotions and postpartum depression.
“I want people to not feel alone, [and] the main thing is just knowing that we’re all one human race together. I want people to know that they’re OK.” That’s what Klein says she told the game developers who helped launch her business, and the same spirit also inspires her as an artist: “I just want to keep the human involved in the human conversations as long as humanly possible.” skubersky@orlandoweekly.com

Maroush in Waterford Lakes prides itself on its shawarma, and with good reason
BY FAIYAZ KARA
Acouple of industry folks I know and respect (one a chef, the other an avid supporter of local restaurants with a significant online presence) fed me two opposing views on Maroush, the newish Syrian/Middle Eastern restaurant that moved into the Slapfish space in Waterford Lakes.
“Fan-fucking-tastic,” said the chef.“Everything we had was fresh. Nothing sat around, nothing was weak and the food is super legit. I will easily drive the 20 minutes it takes to get it.”
The traveling gastronome, on the other hand, felt otherwise. “I was not a fan. Since I really didn’t like it, I didn’t post about it. I’d probably go back to give them another chance, though.”
The extreme reactions alone intrigued me enough to head out to the sprawling shopping, retail and dining mecca on North Alafaya Trail. There, under the restaurant’s harsh lights, my eyes turned to the soothing glow of their wood-burning oven. From its mouth, a woman shoveled out pillowy little pitas reminiscent of the wood-fired puffs from Cedars, the Lebanese mainstay on Sand Lake Road. Maroush, however, is run by a Syrian family who made their way to Orlando via Dearborn, Michigan, home to the largest Arab American community in the country. The restaurant simultaneously feels like a mom-and-pop and a corporate-branded outfit. Maybe it’s because Mohammad
Al-Oubied has five such operations scattered about in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
So, beyond those baked little wonders — which beg to be sided with hummus ($8) and what may be my favorite tabbouleh ($12) in town — the man is a shawarma savant. Swaddle that shaved meat in fresh-baked lavash ($11 chicken/$12 beef) or savor the naked slivers atop a bed of yellow rice ($24) heady with cinnamon and cardamom, and you’ll be hard-pressed to think of a better shawarma being served in the city. What stands out are the penetrating flavors of the chicken and the melting fat in the beef. The glistening shreds aren’t dried out, as is so often the case with shawarma, but soft, tender and (quickly refers to thesaurus) butyraceous. Back to that oven: It’s also used to spit out a host of flatbreads, or manakeesh. The one painted green and white with za’atar and akkawi cheese ($7) is no doubt my favorite. It’s a Levantine classic and even rivals the version served at Beirut Bakery & Deli. It’s what the pal and I scarfed down just before diving into a mixed grill ($35) comprising perfumed proteins like ground chicken kufta and ground Syrian beef kebab, as well as charred chicken shish tawouk and chunks of ribeye. The meats sat where they should — in lavash soaked in their own juices. Now, kebabophiles may pooh-pooh the smallish stature of the ground chicken and beef, but their flavors
MAROUSH SHAWARMA & GRILL 783 N. Alafaya Trail
OPENINGS & CLOSINGS:
will certainly strike a chord with their warming notes. Shish tawouk and ribeye chunks are presented in their pure, unadulterated form, amped only by the savory licks of a charcoal fire. Pickles, tomatoes, tahini and more yellow rice round out the platter. We also tried the ribeye in a wrap ($13) and, yes, there is such a thing as too much parsley. No such thing as too much kibbeh ($13), however. The only thing stopping us from ordering more of those filling little footballs of spiced mince were the crisp, crackly falafel ($11). The holes in their centers, much like a doughnut, is a Syrian style variant. Of note were their soft, almost creamy centers. The only downside: a lack of salt. Dipping them in tahini was necessary.
Another downside: Kunefe isn’t offered for dessert. I mean, the layali lubnan ($3.50) was fine and all, but it was akin to settling for kunefe’s puddingy cousin. And the maroush cup ($11), a glass goblet of strawberry and mango chunks with their respective purees, some kiwi and apple slices and whipped cream, was pretty much the antithesis of kunefe.
But that shawarma! It conjures up the after-credits scene in the movie The Avengers when the knackered superheroes enjoy shawarma for the first time. And I hope that my itinerant eater friend will come to experience its redemptive power on his next visit to Maroush. fkara@orlandoweekly.com
Pom Moongauklang, who recently shuttered her longtime Milk District sandwich shop and teahouse, isn’t done yet. She, along with an unnamed partner, will open a new concept in the space at 67 N. Bumby Ave. which, she says, will see her “put on her chef coat” and add some “molecular touches” to the dishes. More details will be released next week. In addition, Pom will launch a pop-up concept called Pomisaan Herbaceous Thai inspired by the food of the Isaan region of Thailand. Look for Pomisaan to pop up at various breweries (like Ivanhoe Park Brewing) around town with dishes like knom jeen (curry fish spaghetti) and chicken liver laab being offered ... Noir Bar will open in the old Bitters & Bottles space in the North Quarter at 861 N. Orange Ave., next door to seafood-leaning Thai restaurant Talay, slated to open this month. Noir will offer Thai-inspired cocktails and tapas. Talay will offer a menu of seafood-leaning Thai fare from the old City Pub space. Both restaurant and cocktail/ tapas bar are owned by the same folks who run Isaan Zaap ... Quicksand, the natural wine bar from Golden Hour Wine’s Heather LaVine, has soft opened at 1903 E. Colonial Drive, next to Educe Salon ... Nearby, Z Asian Vietnamese Kitchen has reopened after being closed for five weeks to redesign the interior and revamp the offerings, which include new cocktails — they have a new bar manager — and creative spins on Vietnamese cuisine like a “boujee pho” with filet mignon and bone marrow ... Mike Smith, chef-owner of the Current Seafood Counter in Sanford and College Park, has purchased The Sullivan Public House in Sanford. The Sullivan will remain an Irish pub, but customers can expect some menu changes and improvements ... Teak Neighborhood Grill in Maitland is now Jaspers Bar and Grill. A similar menu of burgers and pub fare are offered, in addition to weekend breakfast from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. ... Acropolis Taverna Orlando has opened in the former DoveCote Restaurant space at 390 N. Orange Ave. downtown. A menu of Greek classics (moussaka, pastitsio, souvlaki) as well as sandwiches, salads and burgers are offered ... Brazilian steakhouse Divina Carne has opened in the 8,000-square-foot TGI Fridays space at 6424 Carrier Drive near I-Drive.

For those of you who have never left Central Florida, this is what relocating to Valdosta would be like. (Netflix)
Churchill at War — The docuseries format affords an in-depth look at the man who kept England together during World War II while coining such timeless aphorisms as “If you’re going through hell, keep going.” (Oddly enough, that’s also the city motto of Valdosta!) (Netflix)
Light Shop — Six Korean trauma sufferers are beckoned to a lighting store that secretly
get to procreate wantonly on Mars like the rest of us. (Netflix)
The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On — Age differences and career considerations are among the reasons for the delay in matrimony that’s being experienced by the six new couples we’ll meet in Season 3.

Premieres Thursday:
Black Doves — “Holiday togetherness” takes on a whole new meaning for a British spy (Keira Knightley) and the former assassin (Ben Whishaw) who’s assigned to protect her after her lover is killed.

Jentry Chau vs. the Underworld — The onrush of maturity unlocks the literal flame-throwing superpowers of a Chinese-American teen (voice of Ali Wong). I’m not saying there’s some sort of coming-of-age metaphor going on here, but I don’t think it’s a coincidence that she and the chick from Turning Red are having their periods in sync. (Netflix)
Premieres Friday:
serves as a nexus point between the living and the dead. And if you think that’s something, wait’ll you hear what the Druids were up to when they built Rooms to Go. (Hulu)

Then again, your average English village could be thrown into chaos by a vicar in spats. (Netflix)
Tomorrow and I — In the Thailand of the future, conservative-minded citizens find their cherished cultural traditions threatened by the adoption of state-of-the-art technology. Well, with that kind of attitude, they’ll never
cast as the Mother of God. But that’s what happens when you waste your vote for SAG president on Jill Stein. (Netflix)
A Nonsense Christmas With Sabrina Carpenter — Taking a break from her ongoing campaign to dry-hump anything that’ll fit on a concert stage, the Disney Channel alum offers her own take on the holiday variety specials of yore. You know, like the one where Joey Heatherton pretended to peg Dean Martin. (Netflix)

Biggest Heist Ever — Married Bitcoin thieves Ilya “Dutch” Lichtenstein and Heather “Razzlekhan” Morgan are the subjects of a documentary that couldn’t be timelier, given that they were both sent to prison just this month. Duly noted: You can only do time for stealing something that isn’t real, not for selling it. (Netflix)
Camp Crasher — An Argentinean single mom sees a chance to become a hero in her son’s eyes by volunteering to drive the bus for his class camping trip. Nice try, but I think they’re still going to prefer the gym teacher who hooks them all up with Adderall. (Netflix)
Echoes of the Past — Freed from prison after 15 years, a grief-stricken Egyptian who was falsely accused of killing his sister sets out to find the true culprit. Good luck, Yehia; O.J. went to his grave still not knowing. (Netflix)
Mary — Pro-Palestinian activists are boycotting this Joel Osteen-produced biblical biopic, which they’re calling historically inaccurate because an Israeli actress (Noa Cohen) was
Jamie Foxx: What Had Happened Was … — Returning to the stand-up stage after two decades, Foxx finally reveals what was behind the 2023 hospitalization that left him with no memory of 20 entire days of his life. He’s had almost two years to come up with something good, so let’s all agree we’re not going to settle for “really bad sleep apnea.” (Netflix)
Polo — Harry and Meghan executive-produced this documentary profile of the English upper crust’s most venerated sport. No, not “being hounded by the paparazzi unto death”; the other one. (Netflix)
Rugged Rugby: Conquer or Die — Seven top teams kick and claw their way through the bitterly competitive field of Korean rugby, where the ultimate reward is a prize purse of 300 million won. (Nobody wants to be saddled with the far less desirable second prize, 150 million lost.) (Netflix)

I’VE BEEN EVERYWHERE, MAN
Cult folk-punk nomad Dave Dondero has a song or two for Orlando
BY GABBY MACOGAY
It may seem an implausible ask to witness a live performance from one of the best living songwriters today, but Orlando residents are in for a bit of luck Friday. Listed by NPR among the legendary likes of Paul McCartney and Bob Dylan is Florida’s very own David Dondero — a veteran performer across the punk rock and folk scenes, yet still somewhat of a hidden gem. Over the past few decades, cult-hero Dondero has been traveling solo to an endless succession of indie venues to share his extensive discography. It’s a body of work that is highly regarded for its lyricism and emotive ebb and flow, so much so that it landed him that honorific from NPR and made him a noted influence for the new generation of folkies, including Bright Eyes’ Conor Oberst.
Orlando Weekly interviewed Dondero about his experience traveling the country, playing in
bands versus playing solo, and finding the time and inspiration to create while on the road.
Your latest album, Immersion Therapy , came out this past year. Tell us a bit about your process of creating it and how it’s been having that project out in the world. It came about during the pandemic. I was living out in Portland, Oregon, with John Shepski and his family. He owns Fluff and Gravy Records, and we ended up just putting a few songs together; it eventually became an album. It’s a reflection of that time. It’s been over a year now since it’s been out, and it’s been pretty good. Some of the songs I don’t really sing anymore, but a couple of them are ones that I stick to in the set.
You’ve been touring pretty consistently throughout the past couple of years. Do you
have a favorite part about performing your music live?
I never know what to expect. I try to mix it up every night. I don’t do a setlist, and it’s interesting to improv and stretch out on storytelling and expand on songs from the past to make them live in the present.
If you aren’t creating a setlist each night, how does the order of the songs you want to play come to you?
I try to read the room and see what’s happening around me and make it fit to what’s going on at that moment.
Are there any favorite spots or cities that you love going back to play?
I just love coming to Florida, especially in the winter when it’s not so hot. I appreciate Old Florida,
DAVID DONDERO with Stephen Rock
8 p.m. Friday, Dec. 6 BSide at Ten10 Brewing 1110 Virginia Drive ten10brewingcompany.com $10
you know, the Weeki Wachee mermaids and that old left-over culture from the 1960s, driving the backroads, boiled peanuts … and the history of artists that have flocked to Florida in the past. I love Cuban food and Cuban culture. So as soon as I get further south, I love to just eat as much as I can. You know, as I head down towards Tampa and Miami.
You transitioned to your solo career back in the late 1990s after being in a series of different bands. What are some of the differences between working as a solo artist and working collaboratively?
As a solo player, it started off as a necessity, because most of my punk rock bandmates grew up and got married and got straight jobs and mortgages, and I wanted to keep going. The most cost-effective way to do it was to go solo, and I was writing songs. So I kept going with it, and just started learning how to travel on my own through connections from punk rock. I had the unfortunate habit of continuing to write songs and the habit of travel. I can’t seem to get it out of my blood.
We were watching your NPR Tiny Desk performance from back in 2009, and in the comments someone said this was great music for a road trip. Do you ever visualize things like this or specific places while you’re writing your music?
Absolutely, a lot of the core of the songs come from while driving long stretches. Things come to mind a lot of times when I’m on these trips, and I’ll scratch them down or record them on my phone while I’m driving. So, yeah, for sure, it has a direct link to transience. Definitely a part of the whole process.
That’s a theme that’s pretty consistent in American folk music, traveling or getting on the road, it brings people together. It’s such a universal feeling.
I’ve been around this country probably 100 times, maybe more, and I’m still excited to travel. It’s always exciting to know I’m going to be going on a trip, no matter where it is. And you say, well, what’s your favorite part of that? It could be anywhere, you know, as long as there’s a gig. There’s always something interesting around the corner that you’re not expecting. So I’m very excited to go again into Florida, into deep Florida. I got connected with Nicholas from the Modern Music Movement, and he’s been hosting me for some events in the past couple years, which have been in different spots, so I want to thank him. music@orlandoweekly.com

LOCAL RELEASES
In the true-school side of the city’s rap scene, few crews are as fertile and respected as the Beer Money UNLTD syndicate. When it comes to the roots of hip-hop, these veterans are distinguished missionaries with a long heritage of collaboration. The latest project about to emerge from their ranks is a fresh chapter in their Scumbag Jazz series that pairs rapper Shinobi Stalin and producer Tek the Intern.
On Dec. 9, Shinobi Stalin X Tek the Intern release Scumbag Jazz: An Exercise in Spontaneity Unsurprisingly, both MC and producer validate their respective street cred here. The talented and tasteful Tek lays the foundation with sculpted production of punch and atmosphere. Meanwhile, the gifted and confident Shinobi Stalin drops bars that are crackling and articulate.
The true alchemy of An Exercise in Spontaneity, however, is the gestalt that happens between them. More than just a tabula rasa of hot beats, the intelligence of Tek’s instrumental design is its seemingly tailored fit to Shinobi’s cadences, providing jazzy aura, boom-bap punctuation and, most importantly, perfect spacing for the rapper to shine. Within those pockets, Shinobi bobs and weaves with the kind of classic East Coast swagger that comes through precision and technique. The result is an intuitive synergy that’s greater than the sum of its parts and is hiphop poetry in motion. More than just associates, Shinobi Stalin and Tek the Intern prove here to be a beautifully deadly combo.
Although Scumbag Jazz: An Exercise in Spontaneity doesn’t drop until Dec. 9, Orlando will get a live advance peek this week at the album release show (7 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 5, Conduit, $10). It’ll be a star-studded cavalcade that
An Exercise in Spontaneity is an intuitive synergy that’s greater than the sum of its parts and is hip-hop poetry in motion. More than just associates, Shinobi Stalin and Tek the Intern are a beautifully deadly combo
features live performances by not just Shinobi and Tek but also WordChemist and Beanies & Snapbacks (Soy Is Real and Knaladeus). There will also be a beat cypher featuring Millatron, King Karlow, Terse, My Good Phelo, Silencio, Gonzi Supreme and Art West. DJ Sureshot spins and 200 Records a Day hosts.
CONCERT PICKS THIS WEEK
H.R., The Raging Nathans: There are famous people and then there are legends. And in punk — no, make that modern music in general — there are few greater, more trailblazing legends than Bad Brains leader H.R. That alone is incentive enough to go spend some time in his venerable company whenever the opportunity comes your way. Especially fortunate, then, that the next opportunity for us will be at DeLand’s
supremely chill and picturesque Cafe DaVinci, which is as ideal a locale as it gets to bask in H.R.’s reggae grooves.
He’s been through a lot (e.g., years of ongoing mental health issues including the excruciating SUNCT syndrome) and we’ve been through a lot (e.g., America these days), so a relaxed and intimate musical gathering with irie vibes would do us all some needed good right now. Opening will be Ohio punks The Raging Nathans. (6 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 5, Cafe DaVinci, $20)
Florida Underground Fest: This year, the ballooning Florida Underground Fest isn’t just coming back but marking a momentous five-year milestone with its biggest production to date. Now expanded to three loaded days across four venues (Will’s Pub, Lil Indie’s, Uncle Lou’s and Grumpy’s), this homegrown magnet event turns Orlando into a live mecca with one of the biggest concentrations of Florida punk and punk-adjacent bands all year. This edition’s lineup is almost 80 acts deep and features exemplary names like Gillian Carter, Wolf-Face, Dial Drive, 430 Steps, Caustic Bats, Trash World, Vicious Dreams, M.A.C.E., Virginity, Control This and tons more. Of course, the music roster keeps getting bigger and better each year. But the appeal of FUF’s model is that it offers the pace and intensity of a music festival but sets it all up close in your favorite bars and venues instead of some sprawling and soulless campsite. For pro concertgoers and scene heads, that makes all the difference in the world. It’s a winning balance of volume and intimacy that first made The Fest in Gainesville legendary. (Friday-Sunday, Dec. 6-8, linktr.ee/floridaundergroundfest, $20-$40) baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com

Creed
Looking to go higher? Look no further — Creed hits the Kia Center stage Thursday. With a bombastic post-grunge sound that still reels ’em in to this day — to the recent tune of over 10 million monthly Spotify ears — the Grammy-winning
Creed remains near the top of the heavy heap. It certainly helps that “divorced dad rock” has seen a social media-fueled insurgence of late. Whether they’re new fans or seasoned pros, attendees are sure to welcome Thursday’s performance with arms theatrically aloft and wide open as they drink deeply of “Higher,” “My Own Prison” and “One Last Breath.” And don’t forget, frontman
Scott Stapp has deep Orlando roots. Joining Creed are fellow travelers 3 Doors Down, another major player in the sonic world of the late 1990s. 6 p.m., Kia Center, 400 W. Church St., kiacenter. com, $40-$230. — Lucy Dillon
FRIDAY, DEC. 6
The Nutcracker
A holiday staple in the world of ballet, The Nutcracker has returned for another holiday season. Enjoy Orlando Ballet’s fantastical performance of Tchaikovsky’s classic at the Dr. Phillips Center over 18 performances. Follow young Clara as she embarks on a journey with a nutcracker doll that magically comes to life, and encounters characters from a whimsical universe — including the Sugar Plum Fairy, the Mouse King and the heroic Nutcracker. Family-friendly performances with pre-show children’s activities, adjusted sound and lighting and relaxed exits with re-entry to the theater are available for the matinee showings Dec. 14 and Dec. 21. VIP ticket packages with premium reserved seating, snacks, drinks and exclusive merch are available for purchase online. You, like Clara, won’t want to wake up from this one. Steinmetz Hall, Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, 445 S. Magnolia Ave., drphillipscenter.org, $29-$550. — LD

Steady Hands, You Blew It!
“So let’s raise one for Orlando, and the other decent cities.” There are very few bands not from Florida writing ballads about our strange peninsula. Steady Hands, founded by Sean Hurber — a member of emo outfit Modern Baseball and, perhaps most importantly, a Philadelphian — is the one we know. And this week, they’re baring their hearts at Tuffy’s in Sanford. This writer discovered Steady Hands in the depths of the pandemic, immediately struck by raucous sincerity of it
all. Every Steady Hands track is a declaration, anthemic and earnest. Over the years they’ve put down deep roots in Florida, most recently reflected in their track aptly dubbed “Florida, Man” on their record Cheap Fiction, released just last year through Lame-O Records. Now they’re coming to town to open for two beloved local bands — Virginity and You Blew It! Virginity, known for sinuous hooks and breaking knees on stage, released their record Bad Jazz just this summer. Headliners You Blew It! are marking 10 years since the release of Keep Doing What You’re Doing (oh, how time flies). They’ll be playing the record in full, plus a few fan favorites. The band recently played two sets at Gainesville’s punk pilgrimage Fest to massive crowds of fans singing every word to every song. Florida, man. 8 p.m., Tuffy’s Music Box, 200 Myrtle Ave., Sanford, tuffysmusicbox.com, $23. — Ida V. Eskamani
FRIDAY-SATURDAY, DEC. 6-7
The Mountain Goats
Every concertgoer is different in what they will bring to shows with them, but the usual is pretty standard: phone, wallet, keys, and hopefully earplugs (you’ll thank me in due time). John Darnielle will probably follow the same ritual, except he’ll be bringing a 600-song catalog with him when the Mountain Goats come to O-Town for two nights. They won’t be playing over 600 songs, but the Mountain Goats put on the type of live performance that leaves the audience pining for just one more song. The band’s recorded output has the same marathon energy, and their latest record, Jenny From Thebes, released in 2023, was their 22nd studio record (!). Call their music folk, singer-songwriter, indie, pop-rock, whatever. Just make sure you’re at the Social this weekend to catch them. Portland-based folk artist Anna Tivel is the opening act for both nights. Night one is already sold out, so act fast. 6:30 p.m., The Social, 54 N. Orange Ave., $46. — Kyle Nardine

Lewis Black
Grammy award-winning comedian Lewis Black has his sights set and his “finger pointed” at the Hard Rock Live this weekend. This night of stand-up will feature Black in full progressive curmudgeon mode, making light (and very dark) of the contradictory and absurd aspects of modern American life. He has toured the U.S. and internationally, and has released eight comedy albums, all while serving as a long-running commentator on The Daily Show. His latest stand-up special, Tragically, I Need You, was released earlier this year and has exceeded 1.3 million views on YouTube. That set saw him covering the COVID-19 pandemic and the tense political atmosphere of America — it’s a sure bet he’ll have plenty of new spleen to vent this weekend. 8 p.m., Hard Rock Live, 6050 Universal Blvd., hardrock. com, $42-$62. — Kendal Asbury

Grandma Party Bazaar
Grandma is coming to visit a little early this year. Stardust Video and Coffee’s delightfully eccentric and eclectic holiday market is back, this time helping you get a jump on your holiday shopping, instead of being a last-minute catch-all. Advantage: Take in the market and shop in a more leisurely fashion, and give yourself some breathing room and space to check out the live entertainments on offer. Besides a fashion show (do tell!) and DJs, there will be live sets from local indie supergroup The New Eagles, dream-pop stalwarts and repeat performers Someday River, as well as Distant Stations. Vendors sell everything under the sun, ranging from pro to DIY troublemakers. 10 a.m., Stardust Video and Coffee, 1842 Winter Park Road, stardustvideoandcoffee.wordpress.com, free. — Matthew Moyer

Krampusfest
Santa Claus may be coming to town later this month, but Krampus is headed to Orlando this very weekend to add some naughty revelry to your holiday festivities. In some parts of Europe, Christmas celebrations are preceded by the arrival of Santa’s fell confederate Krampus, who is tasked with visiting punishments upon those children who’ve ended up on the naughty list. Krampusfest returns to the Plaza Live in the Milk District Sunday for a freewheeling celebration of being bad, featuring a holiday market and Christmasy vendors, along with rollicking live
WEDNESDAY–TUESDAY, DEC. 4-10, 2024
music, costume contests, festive frights and a krampuslauf parade. There will additionally be snacks and beverages for attendees to enjoy. Kids are welcome during the earlier hours of the festival, but must remain with their parent or guardian after dark. Because these Krampii are serious about their work. 2 p.m., Plaza Live, 425 N. Bumby Ave., themilkdistrict.org, free. — KA

Breed
They may fly a bit under the radar locally outside the heavy metal community, but it’s high time
you catch up with heavy music rampagers Breed. After all, TikTok already has. Earlier this year, a quick clip of the band performing inside a Waffle House — the singer perched imperiously atop the counter — got (and is still getting) a lot of eyeballs. They’re more than just a viral gimmick, though. Breed’s sound is brutal, groovy protodeath metal that netted them a third-place spot in the “Best Metal Band” category of this year’s Best of Orlando awards. They’ve been playing out of town more than in the 407 of late, so this might be your last chance to tick this can’t-miss band off your to-do list this year. 7 p.m., Will’s Pub, 1042 N. Mills Ave., willspub.org, $15. — MM
