» Orange County approves local law prohibiting sleeping on public property overnight
In order to comply with a new state law that prohibits people from sleeping or camping on public property overnight, Orange County leaders formally passed their own local version of the law in a 4-2 vote, with newly elected commissioner Kelly Semrad and commissioner Maribel Gomez Cordero acting as the lone dissenters. Florida House Bill 1365, approved by the Republicancontrolled Florida Legislature and Gov. Ron DeSantis last spring, enacted a statewide ban on sleeping on public property. The law took effect Oct. 1, 2024, and leaves enforcement up to municipal governments. As of Jan. 1, the law also now allows residents, business owners or the State Attorney General to sue cities and counties that fail to enforce the ban. Municipalities accused of failing to enforce the ban must first be given a written notice prior to the filing of any civil suit. By law, they are allowed up to five days to “cure” the violation before a civil suit can be filed. Methods of curing could include directing persons found “camping” to a shelter, finding alternative housing options for them or forced removal by law enforcement. Under the new ordinance, public camping would be prosecuted as a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of up to $500 and up to 60 days in jail. Camping for recreational purposes or sleeping in one’s car doesn’t count.
» ‘Eat the Rich’ graffiti temporarily makes noise on future restaurant site in Mills 50
Although it has since been painted over, construction boarding outside the unfinished Mills Avenue-facing building next to Grumpy’s was blasted with graffiti reading “Eat the Rich.” The message, which survived just a few days, went up as the area’s business landscape undergoes a rapid transformation and old-versus-new power imbalance. Hospitality and nightlife management company Team Market Group announced in 2022 plans to open a new “live-fire cooking” restaurant called Eastwood at the graffitied spot, located just steps from longstanding nightspots and live music hubs such as Uncle Lou’s, Will’s Pub and Lil Indie’s. Though they’re far from the only new faces in the neighborhood, Team Market Group’s armada of (relatively) high-priced bars and eateries has grown significantly in recent years, garnering some ill will. Some took to social media to question whether the message was simply a call-out against gentrification, or if it specifically targeted TMG. “No, a specific statement would be ‘deny, defend, depose’ written on three $15 hot dogs,” one Reddit user quipped.
» Orlando extends free downtown parking program to encourage visitors In an effort to support local business and increase foot traffic downtown, the city of Orlando has decided to extend a program that offers visitors two hours of free parking downtown through the end of 2025. The program, Park DTO, offers free parking at all metered and non-metered parking spaces downtown through the Park DTO mobile app. Once you’ve downloaded the application, enter “ParkDTO” to claim your two hours of free parking at your preferred parking space. The Park DTO program was first launched as a temporary incentive during the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic to encourage visitation downtown. It was relaunched in 2023. Visitors and residents can use the “ParkDTO” code up to 12 times (a three-fold increase this year compared to last). The parking incentive comes at a time of rising tension between downtown nightlife business owners, the city and the Orlando Police Department — as well as bad press from the recent fatal shooting downtown this past Halloween.
» Hamburger Mary’s argues drag lawsuit is not moot after closing restaurant As an appeals court considers the constitutionality of a 2023 Florida law aimed at preventing children from attending drag shows, it also is looking at another question: Is the case moot now that the restaurant that challenged the law (Orlando-based Hamburger Mary’s) is closed? An attorney for Hamburger Mary’s filed a brief at the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals arguing the case is not moot. The brief said Hamburger Mary’s, which closed its Orlando location in June, has continued to produce drag shows with other venues and plans to host shows when it reopens in Kissimmee. The state law that’s been challenged, dubbed by sponsors the “Protection of Children” bill, would prevent venues from admitting children to “adult live performances.” Under the law, regulators would be able to suspend or revoke licenses of restaurants, bars and other venues that violate the law and prohibit local governments from issuing public permits for events that could expose children to the
targeted behavior. While the law does not specifically mention drag shows, it came after Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration targeted venues in South Florida and Central Florida where minors under 18 attended drag shows. It also came amid a series of new laws on transgender-related issues.
» Florida’s controversial pronoun law debate could extend to cities and counties
Two years after Republican lawmakers and Gov. Ron DeSantis approved a controversial measure restricting the use of personal pronouns in schools, legislative debate about the issue could shift to cities and counties. John Labriola, a lobbyist for Christian Family Coalition Florida, told Marion County lawmakers this month that his organization would like to see restrictions in the 2023 education law extended to city and county governments. Labriola said he hopes the issue will be considered during this year’s legislative session, which starts March 4. As of Monday, Jan. 13, no such legislation has been filed. The 2023 law said, in part, that school employees and students “may not be required, as a condition of employment or enrollment or participation in any program, to refer to another person using that person’s preferred personal title or pronouns if such personal title or pronouns do not correspond to that person’s sex.” The state defines sex as what was assigned at birth. Chief U.S. District Judge Mark Walker issued a preliminary injunction that blocked enforcement of the 2023 law against a transgender teacher in Hillsborough County, who challenged its constitutionality. The lawsuit contends the teacher should be able to use her preferred pronouns while at work.
WINE NOT
Orlando wine bar owners say Trump’s proposed tariffs would do more harm than good for U.S. wineries, retailers and consumers
BY MCKENNA SCHUELER
President-elect Donald Trump has announced plans to increase tariffs on most imported foreign goods once his administration takes over later this month, in what he frames as an effort to support American manufacturers and businesses.
Professionals in the wine industry, however, warn that such tariffs — which essentially serve as a tax on imported goods — will actually do more harm than good for their industry, and could put small U.S. businesses under.
“Our point, and what we hope they understand, is that tariffs on wine would be a very poor tool to combat [trade] problems,” Ben Aneff, managing partner of Tribeca Wine Merchants in New York and president of the U.S. Wine Trade Alliance, told Orlando Weekly. “Tariffs on wine do a lot more damage to small U.S. businesses in towns like Abilene, Texas, and Orlando, Florida, than they do in France or Italy or Germany.”
According to the New York Times, Trump has publicly proposed tariffs of 10 to 20 percent on most foreign products, and 60 percent or more on Chinese goods. Trump is reportedly considering a national economic disaster declaration in order to do it, inside sources tell CNN.
Heather LaVine, owner of the Orlando natural wine bar Quicksand and the natural wine shop Golden Hour, admitted she’s concerned about the proposal. “I think anyone who works in wine for a living has heard about the tariff plan and we are definitely all concerned that this could provide disruptions to our business,” LaVine told Orlando Weekly
“I think any small business and people who care about small business should be against tariffs,”she added.“Only billion-dollar corporations can afford to navigate new tariffs and what this ultimately means for all of us is more corporate monopoly.”
Rob Chase, a member of the U.S. Wine Trade Alliance and owner of Digress Wine Bar in Orlando’s College Park neighborhood, is also concerned by the proposal.
Rebranded in 2018 with former co-owner Brian Kearney, Chase’s casual neighborhood bar focuses primarily on “Old World” wines from European countries, he explained — which is exactly where they would take a major hit, if the federal government moved forward with Trump’s tariffs plan. “I’m buying as much as I can to stock up on a lot of favorites to make sure that we have enough inventory to get us through,” Chase told Orlando Weekly. “If it does go through, and
if we’re looking at taking these significant price increases, [we are] really going to have to look at what it does to our sales.”
A higher cost to import foreign wines could lead to shortages in wine selections, and could drive up costs for consumers, too. Staffing — that is, job security for Chase’s employees — could also be hurt.
Currently, Digress has about 11 staffers. And, as some other local businesses struggle to keep their doors open, Chase said he doesn’t want to have to make cuts.“I want to keep everybody here,” he stressed. “If we get to the point where we can’t afford to, that’s of course heartbreaking.”
“It’s tough to say,” he admitted. “But I’m hoping that we can avoid that altogether.”
ALL HANDS ON DECK
According to the Los Angeles Times, members of the U.S. Wine Trade Alliance gathered on a Zoom call in November to discuss the looming tariffs that could be on their way this month, and to strategize. Nearly 500 members were on the call, according to the Times, including wine retailers, importers, restaurateurs and others.
“The average American voter and consumer thinks that tariffs are paid by foreign countries. They’re not,” said Harmon Skurnik, the group’s treasurer, on the call.“They’re paid by American businesses when the goods arrive at the port, and are passed on to the consumer in the form of higher prices. It’s not paid by foreign countries. It’s a tax.”
This isn’t the first time Trump has threatened tariffs. In 2019, the Trump administration moved forward on enacting 25 percent tariffs on many European wines and other goods. The move was reportedly a form of economic sanction and retaliation for E.U. nations subsidizing the French aerospace company Airbus over the U.S.-owned Boeing.
“It was a nightmare the first time around in the midst of COVID,” Chase recalled, of the former Trump-era tariffs. Kearney, Chase’s former partner in the business, left shortly after the 2019 tariffs took effect, and “we were really just scraping by at that point.”
Quicksand’s LaVine, who’s originally from New York, admitted it was a “scary time” for her. At the time, she was still transitioning her business from Troy, New York, down to Orlando, and hadn’t yet opened up shop.
The U.S. Wine Trade Alliance was formed during those earlier Trump-era tariff fights, uniting not only wine bar owners and retailers, but also professionals on the distribution and importing side together for a common cause, according to Aneff, an industry veteran.
“We started to understand that, you know, everyone in the industry had the same threat, had the same risk level for tariffs on imported wine, and we needed one organization that represented all tiers of the wine industry — producers, importers, distributors, retailers, restaurants — that worked in unison to try to mitigate the risk of tariffs on wine,” he explained.
Today, they have hundreds of members nationwide, Aneff estimated. And because of how the wine industry is uniquely set up, it’s important to have everyone involved.
Unlike foreign fashion or makeup companies, for instance — which could find creative ways to get around tariffs on imported products — the alcoholic beverage industry has a Prohibitionera tier system that makes such finagling not only difficult, but illegal.
“It would be illegal for a restaurant or a retailer to buy directly from the manufacturer,” Aneff explained.
A wine producer or manufacturer must first sell to a U.S. importer. That importer, usually a small business, must then sell to a U.S.-owned wine distribution company, which can then sell the wine to retailers and restaurants around the country.
“The average American voter and consumer thinks that tariffs are paid by foreign countries. They’re not.”
The Biden administration rescinded these tariffs after about 18 months in 2021. They had specifically affected wines from France, Spain, the United Kingdom and Germany with an alcohol content of 14% or less.
“We support a lot of great domestic producers as well, but you’re not going to find the same level of sparkling wine from Champagne here. You’re not going to find pinot noir from Burgundy.”
Many U.S.-owned wine producers, according to Aneff, aren’t exactly thrilled with the idea of tariffs on foreign wine either.“Most industries, the domestic producer would love a tariff. Like if you’re a steel producer,”he pointed out. But,“Every major domestic wine grower organization is against tariffs on imported wine. From Wine America to the Napa Valley vineyards, they’re all against it.”
As Aneff explained, “The wine business is an ecosystem, and we rely on each other to be healthy. And when we’re not healthy, it hurts everyone in the ecosystem.”
Wine America, a lobbying group for domestic wineries, has spoken out against tariffs before. “If we place a tariff on their products, they’ll do it to us,” argued Michael Kaiser, chief lobbyist for Wine America, in an interview with Quartz. Domestic wineries also don’t produce the same volume of wine, and their wine tends to be more expensive, in part because European wineries are multi-generational affairs that don’t have the same overhead costs.
“They’re not buying million-dollar acres out in California that, you know, we’ve got to pay for through the cost of a $300 cabernet,” said Chase. Chase said that Digress is in a “significantly” better place than where they were a few years ago, when the double-whammy of the pandemic and Trump’s 25 percent tariffs hit.
When they first opened, just a couple of years prior, Chase said they entered “with starry eyes and empty pockets.” He recalled they “just kind of took a gamble, hoping this would work.” Today, as some other staples in the local restaurant, brewery and bar scene struggle to stay afloat, or shutter altogether, Chase admitted he feels guilty that they’re doing so well.
So, no shortcuts. “This does not exist in any other industry,” said Aneff. At the same time, because of how this system is set up, Aneff shares that for every dollar that is spent on European wine, U.S. businesses make $4.52.
“This means that tariffs on wine do significantly more economic damage to U.S.-owned businesses than to businesses abroad,” he explained. “It makes them an incredibly poor tool to create behavior change from a target country.”
Chase added that unlike some other foreign products and goods that can be replicated by American manufacturers, the same isn’t necessarily true for wine.
“A lot of people are just saying,‘Well, go ahead and buy American wines.’ And we do,” he shared.
“We’ve really become, you know, a beloved little spot in our neighborhood,” he shared. In addition to a bar, they also have a small food menu, offer wine clubs and tastings, and have a small cellar in-store that can double as a venue for private gatherings.
Chase is unsure of what the future has in store for them, if the federal government moves forward with the tariffs plan. But Aneff told Orlando Weekly that the Alliance has had “some great conversations” with senior members of the House and Senate, to essentially plead their case.
It’s unclear whether Trump would need Congress’ approval to move forward with tariffs, depending on how he plans to go about it. As CBS News reported, it’s complicated.
“We do believe that they are starting to really understand how problematic tariffs on wine are,” said Aneff.
“We hope that when, you know, trade policy is finalized, that they really put that into practice and make sure that everything that they do is done in a way that protects American jobs, and that they don’t put the burden of trade problems on small businesses here in the United States.” mschueler@orlandoweekly.com

Civilian police oversight in Florida crumbles after law banning review boards kicks in
BY MATTHEW CUPELLI, FRESH TAKE FLORIDA
At least 15 civilian review boards across Florida, which review investigations of potential law enforcement misconduct after they’re completed, have dissolved or temporarily ceased operations after a new law targeting the panels took effect.
The law assures that only law enforcement agencies will investigate reports of misconduct by law enforcement officers. It blocks outside civilian review boards from performing oversight in such investigations, moves civilian panels under the control of Florida police chiefs and sheriffs, and requires that at least one panelist must be a retired law enforcement officer.
The move by Florida’s GOP-controlled Legislature, which took effect July 1, was the latest effort to show its support for law enforcement. Lawmakers in recent years have forced homeowners’associations to allow police cruisers in driveways, banned vaccination COVID-19 requirements for cops and allowed police to arrest anyone who tries to record them from less than 25 feet away.
Backed by Gov. Ron DeSantis, the law was a major blow to the civilian review panels. Oversight advocates warned it will damage community-police relations and diminish trust in law enforcement. The measure has dissolved civilian boards in major cities, including Miami, Tallahassee, St. Petersburg, Orlando and Tampa.
Supporters of the law said it makes misconduct investigations consistent by removing the public’s involvement, and said different municipalities have different approaches. It was also intended to avoid discouraging applicants from working at police departments or sheriff’s offices that have civilian review boards. The law does not eliminate or restrict other, official means of investigating law enforcement misconduct, according to an analysis presented to lawmakers.
Steve Zona, the past president of the Florida State Fraternal Order of Police, defended the closures of the civilian boards and said the goal of the law was to eliminate them altogether. He called the panels partisan and said they had no place in the criminal justice system.
Zona also said he believes any review boards, including new boards established by law enforcement, are useless. He said boards exist only to “appease the community and make them think something is being done.”
There were at least 20 city and county review boards previously active before the law took effect as identified by Fresh Take Florida, a news service of the University of Florida College of Journalism and Communications. Of those, only five remain operational, according to interviews
with dozens of city and board officials across the state and a review of city documents.
Rep. Wyman Duggan, R-Jacksonville, said his legislation was meant to protect law enforcement by eliminating existing boards, ensuring that investigations of misconduct would take place in regulated forums with standardized procedures.
“I do not see the benefit of a forum where members, who may have no qualifications or expertise, have an open-ended process with no standards to subject an officer to an endless process of public scrutiny,” he said during a legislative hearing in January.
Duggan, who will be House speaker pro tempore and chair of the powerful Ways and Means Committee for Florida’s upcoming legislative session, did not respond to repeated efforts, including phone calls and emails over two weeks, to discuss the closures.
Randy Grice, the former chair of the now-defunct North Miami Citizens Investigative Board, said his board had fulfilled an important function in the community: giving residents an impartial way to review uncomfortable encounters with law enforcement.
“Citizens are not satisfied,” Grice said.“Frankly, they’re confused.”
Grice said the board was fair and never out to get any officers, adding that it provided an impartial forum for community members to report troubling interactions with those in power. Once, Grice said, his board was able to help resolve an internal racial profiling accusation made by a sergeant against another officer of the North Miami Police Department. The board also recognized officers who went above and beyond the call of duty.
“Whatever trust has built up is gonna start to slide back,” she said.
A widely cited 2022 study by the LeRoy Collins Institute at Florida State University, which explored the relationship between civilian review boards and racial dynamics in Florida, found a reduction in Black arrest rates in cities with civilian review boards. According to the study, independent oversight boards seem to boost law enforcement transparency, resulting in “a net positive for both officers and civilians.”
The new law resulted in the closure of Florida’s most prominent civilian review board, the City of Miami’s Civilian Investigative Panel. The city cut off its funding in August because of the law and the panel was dissolved in September. In a statement, the city said it cannot fund a board “whose main purpose and duties are contrary to Florida Statutes.”
Rodney Jacobs Jr., who had served as chair of the board, said he still receives three or four calls each week from citizens who want to bring issues to the board. All he can do now, he said, is direct them to report their issues to local police departments.
Jacobs said the goal of the Miami board, and all civilian review boards, is to build trust. He added while the civilian panel itself couldn’t solve all police-community relationship issues, the trust it created would.
“It was never about sticking it to the police officers,” Jacobs said. “I have two kids. I want to raise them in a city where we don’t need police accountability or police oversight because they do the right thing all the time.”
Miami-Dade County’s review board, the Independent Civilian Panel, was also dissolved as a result of the law. Former executive director Ursula Price said she wasn’t surprised to hear about the other closures across the state.
A past president of the Florida State Fraternal Order of Police said the boards have no place in the criminal justice system and exist only to “appease the community and make them think something is being done.”
The closures will affect community-police relations across Florida, according to the executive director of the Indianapolis-based National Association for Civilian Oversight of Law Enforcement, Cameron McEllhiney. She said civilian review boards play a number of important functions, such as legitimizing the work of law enforcement and building trust within the communities.
Attorney Andrea Zelman took a different view and said reviewing closed investigations was, in fact, barred by the new law. Such reviews are considered a form of “oversight,” which the new law prohibits.
“We haven’t talked to anyone in the state who feels other than we do,” Zelman said in support of her recommendation to dissolve its civilian review board. “We really have no choice.”
The Key West Citizen Review Board is one of a handful in Florida that remains active. Robert Cintron, the board’s independent attorney, said the city has a great relationship with its police department.
“Their internal affairs officer comes to every one of the meetings and is very involved with the board,” he said.
Other boards that have remained operational identified by Fresh Take Florida are in Ormond Beach, south of St. Augustine; Lakeland, east of Tampa; Indian River County, northeast of Okeechobee; and Gainesville.
McEllhiney, of the National Association for Civilian Oversight of Law Enforcement, said civilian oversight boards ballooned in popularity after the killing of George Floyd in 2020, which sparked national protests against police brutality and led to the murder conviction of one officer and three others for violating Floyd’s civil rights.
In recent years, McEllhiney said she’s seen partisan backlash to the growth of civilian oversight in Arizona, Tennessee, Texas and Utah — but no pushback has been as far-reaching as in Florida, where the Senate passed the law unanimously. In the House, 28 lawmakers voted against it.
Carlos Valdes was the chair of Tampa’s Citizens Review Board and is currently a member of Tampa Police Department’s Chief’s Advisory Panel, which was established under the new law.
In April, the American Civil Liberties Union of Florida told community advocates and city attorneys in a memo that civilian review boards should not be affected by the new law because they do not engage in investigation or oversight.
Commenting on completed internal affairs reports or use of force reports — as the boards had been doing — does not meet statutory definitions of investigation or oversight, which are now barred, said James Shaw, an attorney with the Florida ACLU, who co-authored the memo. He said the phrasing of the law is“a bunch of squishy words” that don’t withstand legal scrutiny.
City attorneys are not required to close civilian review boards, Shaw said — but they are acting as if the law forces their hand.
Speaking to the Tampa City Council in June, City
Unlike Tampa’s now-dissolved Citizens Review Board, Valdes said the new panel’s meetings are not recorded, it meets quarterly instead of monthly, and the board evaluates the effectiveness of departmental policies instead of reviewing closed internal affairs investigations. He said had been concerned the new board’s meetings might be a “dog and pony show,” but after the group’s first meeting, Valdes said he feels more optimistic about Tampa Police Department’s intentions. Still, he added he laments the fact the new board serves a different purpose than the civilian review board.
Valdes said he wishes police would understand that reviewing closed internal affairs reports is a matter of building trust, not political sniping or anti-police activism.
The former chair of Fort Myers’ now-defunct civilian review board, Steven Brown-Cestero, said he’s built enough trust with the city’s police department that he expects its oversight board to operate ethically. However, he said he’s concerned for other municipalities where law enforcement may be less inclined to appoint a fair board.
“Who guards the guards?” Brown-Cestero said. “There is nobody.”

Dave Segal tells the unbelievable story of 1990s Orlando music broadcast Bootleg TV
at the History Center
BY MATTHEW MOYER
Next month sees Orange Country Regional History Center’s wildly popular Figurehead exhibition finally winding down after a nearly two-year run. The retrospective traced the wild and oft-unbelievable history of wild-card local concert promoter Figurehead through the years 1985 to 2001, using all manner of priceless alt-rock ephemera from head Figure Jim Faherty’s archives. (And more than a few photos from OW’s own Jim Leatherman.)
Just as engaging has been the offshoot programming around this exhibition, taking in everything from Israel Vasquetelle talking about Orlando hip-hop to Lure Design doing a live-screenprinting demo to — this Thursday — the strange but true story of Orlando music public-access show Bootleg TV. This live-music clip show, helmed and filmed by filmmaker Dave Segal, actually made it onto Orlando airwaves from 1998-2006, beaming an extraordinary range of local concert clips fearlessly captured by Segal into homes all over the City Beautiful.
Though these days the television part of Bootleg TV is no more, Segal will be in town this week to tell his story with plenty of video from his roughly 4,000 tapes in tow.
“It’ll be a little bit of history on the music and the music scene in Orlando and the venues. And then from there, it’s just going to go everywhere and anywhere,” says Segal.“Because of what I started back then, that’s taken me all over the world shooting bands.”
For Segal, it all started when the music bug bit him as a kid after his parents took him to see Peter Frampton in full Comes Alive flight. Endless hours spent planted in front of the television watching an embryonic MTV provided him with the epiphany that this was what he wanted to do with his life — shoot music videos and maybe even work at MTV.
By the early 1990s, Segal was enrolled in Valencia’s film program and found himself increasingly surrounded by musicians — friends, roommates, drinking buddies — and enthralled
with Orlando nightlife — Skinny’s, Go Lounge and what was then known as Sapphire Supper Club.
“Being a huge music lover, I was drawn to downtown Orlando, [especially] the Downtown Jazz Blues Club, which later became the Sapphire, and then later became the Social,” says Segal. “I started going to shows down there, and I had to work there, because I was so drawn to it. … I was waiting tables there while I was in Valencia.”
Surrounded by all of this creativity, Segal did the logical thing: grabbed his camera and started shooting. “The combination of all these things led me to grabbing a camera, and I first started out shooting my friends’ bands. From that point on, I started shooting everything. It became an obsession-slash-ultimate passion,” says Segal.“Part of that was I was seeing music that I felt was just as good as, if not better than, a lot of the music that was on the radio. And I wanted to be part of a catalyst to hopefully forward that music to others. And my avenue was television.”
How would an intrepid concert documentarian end up on the television airwaves? A little — and much-missed — phenomenon called public access.
“During the time I was in school and shooting all these bands, I was freelancing as a cameraman, and one of the people that I was freelancing for had several shows on Time Warner cable,” says Segal. “He inspired me to start my own show, because I had hundreds and hundreds of [concerts] shot. He said,‘What are you going to do with all this one day? … Why don’t you do a show?’”
Segal scrambled to put together a 30-minute sample episode and took it to Time Warner for consideration to air on one of their public access stations. Things snowballed from there.
“I quickly got a few sponsors. Will Walker was the first. And with that, I hit the ground running. It became my job. I was out shooting, sometimes
6:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 16
Orange Country Regional History Center 65 E. Central Blvd. thehistorycenter.org free
several nights out of the week, just running from place to place,” remembers Segal. “At the time, we had some very cool avant-garde clubs downtown. With these venues, it was just great being there. And it was even more great for me having a camera in my hand, because I would just watch this, and wish somebody else saw what I was seeing, because it’s so good.”
From that initial inspiration and greenlight, Bootleg TV would come to vivid life weekly on local cable television. Launching first with sets from local bands — think Gargamel!, Bughead — soon enough Segal was shooting big names and future legends in their fiery prime rampaging across gritty Orlando stages. To name just a few: Sonic Youth, Sam Rivers, Guided by Voices, Fugazi, J. Mascis and Mike Watt, among countless others.
Like many in the alternative-rock world of the 1990s, Segal was looking to make the jump to a major — network, not record label. He came close to a deal with Fox, but it fell through at the last minute. Though crestfallen, Segal soon hit the streets running again. The shows were getting bigger and the pace of life more frenetic.
“Bootleg TV on terrestrial television ran from 1998 all the way through 2006. Now, during the time, I had different people popping in and out to help me at times, but most of the time, it was just me,” says Segal. “Sometimes I’d show up to a show like at Will’s, and I would not only be the cameraman for this show, I would also shoot a wide shot on a tripod. … I’d have to hang the stage lights — because nobody had them — literally just minutes before the band [started] or sometimes when the band had already gone on. I hit record, and I did what I did, and I got what I got. I kind of created a method to tell the story with one person.”
After eight years, something had to give. Segal needed a break.
“It just got to the point where I literally was going 24 hours a day. If I wasn’t producing commercials, I was selling ads. If I wasn’t selling ads, I was shooting shows. If I wasn’t shooting the show, I was editing. And on top of that, I had a deadline with the TV station every week.”
Bootleg TV, the show, might be on indefinite hiatus, but Segal still shoots bands — though at a much more relaxed and choosy pace. A YouTube channel provides tantalizing glimpses of what once was and might have been.
But on Thursday at the History Center, it’ll be “lights, camera, action” again. This is an unmissable proposition for those into underground kicks or Orlando’s weird, hidden history.

Adrian Sarple, director of this year’s Disney on Broadway concert series, says fans ‘move heaven and earth’ to attend: ‘There’s nothing better than performing
to people who really want to be there’
January is shaping up to be a banner month for Central Florida’s theater patrons, between last weekend’s final FestN4 mini-festival at Fringe Artspace and this week’s bumper crop of shows and stars direct from Broadway. The Dr. Phillips Center is playing host to both Paul Mecurio’s Permission to Speak and ABBA’s Mamma Mia!, while Miguel Cervantis — who was the longest-running lead in Hamilton in NYC and Chicago — appears Jan. 18 at the new Hideaway Performing Arts Center in Eustis (hideawaypac.com). But the biggest New Year’s treat for local musical theater fans arrives at Walt Disney World Friday, Jan. 17, when EPCOT’s International Festival of the Arts returns for its eighth annual edition through Feb. 24 with art activities, photos ops and daily Broadway-caliber concerts, all included in the price of park admission — a bargain that sure beats queuing in the cold for the TKTS discount booth in Times Square.
Adrian Sarple, an associate director for Disney Theatrical, is serving his second year as director of the festival’s Disney on Broadway concert series, and even though he’s opened massive musicals with major names all around the globe, he sounded equally enthused about coming back to EPCOT this season. A native of the U.K., Sarple’s interest in the arts was sparked at age 7 when he saw a Gene Kelly film and became “sort of obsessed by what he did up on screen, his personality and just his style of performance.” His mother packed him off to a dance program that he describes as “very Billy Elliot [and] a lot
like the [Royal Ballet’s] White Lodge process of being analyzed and photograph[ed].”
After legendary producer Cameron Mackintosh recruited his entire class as the ensemble for the out-of-town tryout of Moby Dick, Sarple was one of five students to transfer to the West End. He went on to perform in Mackintosh’s musicals Martin Guerre and Saturday Night Fever before transitioning into resident directing with Mary Poppins, which was a co-production with Disney.
“Disney, of course, is part of a huge corporation,” says Sarple when asked about the differences in style between Disney Theatrical and Mackintosh. “Even the bosses have board members [above them, and] it’s a public company as well, so all those checks and balances that need to happen. Cameron doesn’t, and it’s very interesting. Despite his global reach, it’s still a very intimate operation. It still feels like a cottage industry, weirdly, even though it’s this massive global concern; but that’s because he’s so involved.”
Most notably, Sarple is credited on nine different productions of Frozen — from Broadway and national tours to international stagings — as associate director, which means he helps new performers re-create Michael Grandage’s original direction. “People sometimes say, ‘How can you do a show, time after time after time, year after year after year, production after production?’,” Adrian says. “It’s easy, really, because the show itself may be the same, but the people are always different, and so the perspective of those performers and what they bring to it is so different. It’s why fans go back and see these shows year after year, because they see different people play the parts, and they learn something new about it.
“The interesting challenge for me is always,
how do you keep it as close to what the original intent was, despite the fact this is a completely different human being trying to play it?
Whatever the blueprint that is set down in the original is the thing you have to try and adhere to, which is often a challenge, because no two humans are alike.”
In addition, many fans are likely to have seen impressive versions of Frozen (or other Disney musicals) in theme parks or on cruise ships, which means Disney’s Broadway shows must continuously raise the bar. But, Sarple says, “You have to please the fans. You know they need to see certain things, you know they need to hear certain things. If we cut ‘Let It Go,’ we’d be in trouble.”
Since taking over EPCOT’s concert series from original director Jeff Lee, Sarple has revamped the America Garden Theatre set with new lighting and video displays, and tweaked the between-song banter. “What I like to try and do, without being sanctimonious, is just to try and give a little bit of a hint of what the original intention behind the song is,” Adrian says. “They just give them this little bit of insight or a reminder of what the song is actually about, so when they listen to it, they listen to it a little deeper than they did.”
Something that hasn’t changed is the eagerness of A-list Broadway performers — including Josh Strickland (Tarzan), Ashley Brown (Mary Poppins) and Michael James Scott (Aladdin) — to return to EPCOT year after year, according to Sarple. “They absolutely love it [because] there’s such a huge fanbase down there that are loyal and encouraging. There’s nothing better for a performer than performing to people who really want to be there, and people move heaven and earth to get to this festival.” skubersky@orlandoweekly.com

PUPPY CHOW
BarkHaven Dog Bar in Ivanhoe Village is a culinary playground for dog and man
BY FAIYAZ KARA
Ididn’t think my first review of the new year would have me evaluating a dog bar, but then again, I haven’t even had time to look at my bingo card for 2025. It was Chris Hernandez, the big papi at Papi Smash’d Burger and the big dawg behind BarkHaven’s culinary offerings, who drew me to a patio seat next to an off-leash play area inside this impressive venue. Yeah, I could’ve chosen a booth inside the dogless dining room, but then I wouldn’t have been privy to all the furry sights, sounds and scents. I saw hounds a-humping, schnauzers a-sniffing and whippets a-whizzing as Frenchies proudly nibbled on pumpkin and broccoli burgers, a
selection from Barkhaven’s special dog menu. It’s part of the experience here, and it’s a whole lot more compelling than watching balls bouncing about on the boob tube.
Plus it’s patio season, and the spectacular sunset on this particular night had us barking at the moon to stay away. When the moon finally hit our eyes, out came a big pizza pie dubbed the “Beirut” ($17) with seasoned kafta, labneh, feta and tomato-onion relish lending all the Levantine vibes. “Tastes like gyro,” said my dining pal, and indeed the flavors are very much like the Greek handheld. Hernandez crafts his pizza dough from organic “00” flour and lets it ferment for 48 hours

before blistering it in a custom-made oak-fired oven. That oven sits in a large trailer that serves as BarkHaven’s kitchen — a kitchen also capable of frying some mighty fine chicken wings with a North African ($16) vibe. The glaze is a match made in Tunis by way of Buffalo, with each drum and flat shellacked in harissa and sprinkled with chickpea crumbles, chives and micro-cilantro. They’re served with a jalapeño-ranch, but we enjoyed them with a whipped feta and smashed cucumber dip ($14) braced with a tahini and Calabrian chili vinaigrette.
If you’re wondering about the noticeable Middle Eastern slant of the menu, it’s intentional. Hernandez had to put his Shawarma Bros. venture with the Pass Kitchen’s William Herrera on hold, so instead, he applied many of those dishes and ideas here, shawarma aside. You will, however, find za’atar-spiced fries ($12), a Lebanese burger with rosemary-pineapple hot honey and a “Moroccan Blaze” ($17) pizza, weighted with crispy harissa-Buffalo chicken. When I ask Hernandez his rationale, he tells me about his family’s Lebanese heritage and his desire to pay homage to previous generations migrating to the Americas. There’s a palpable sense of pride when he talks about the menu — a menu that’s equally reflective of his Puerto Rican and Cuban roots.
Two top dogs: Caribbean ribs ($22) “sticky-ickied,” as our server said, with guava-chili, and the “Texas Midnight Cubano” ($18) — wood-fired pizza dough stuffed with smoked brisket, honey ham, pickled jalapeños and mojo mustard. Both display Hernandez’s technical precision (he’s a Citricos alum who’s also worked alongside chef Pascal Sanchez) and his ability to retain the dishes’ comforting aspects.
He’s not perfect. Onion rings served with those ribs were a bit soggy, while the chili-butter-maple Brussels sprouts ($16) were a bit too wet for another pal’s liking. I didn’t mind them at all, though. In fact, I lapped up that liquid scented with burnt ends, mustard seed and candied pecans like a parched pooch in August. Even put the rest in a doggy bag.
No, my major concern was with the beignets ($10), Barkhaven’s lone dessert offering. Some of the fried treats were overly dense, while the dough in others was still raw. I also found the coffee dulce de leche dip too grainy to enjoy and the berry-peach compote cloying. A sub-woofer of an ending? Perhaps. A doggone shame? Maybe. But don’t let the mishap stop you from popping into BarkHaven for a bite and a martini. Like those dogs in the play area, enjoy yourself and give your canines a workout. fkara@orlandoweekly.com

Rock scion Will Johns brings an eco sensibility, famous lineage and bold new songs to the Dr. Phillips Center
BY GRAYSON KEGLOVIC
Brit blues artist Will Johns returns to Orlando this week, this time with an eco-friendly approach.
On Thursday, Johns, the nephew of two rock & roll legends — George Harrison and Eric Clapton — will play at the Dr. Phillips Center’s most intimate venue, Judson’s Live. He is set to perform two shows spotlighting his latest studio album, Yin & Yang.
Yin & Yang has environmentalist roots, among other notable differences from Johns’ past releases. Johns worked with Evolution Music to press
the album on sustainable vinyl made from bioplastics instead of toxic polyvinyl chloride.
“Even before I wrote the album, I was concerned with making something that would be a vinyl and not only that, but an eco-vinyl,” Johns says.“The actual production of the product came much later than the music was ready, so there was a time delay between when the release of the album was and when the vinyl was supposed to be released.”
Touring is not exactly mindful of Mother Earth either, according to Johns. When you think
about all the different people and parts that make a tour possible, plastic use normally isn’t what first comes to mind.
“The single-use plastic in the music industry is off the scale, especially on a tour,” Johns says. “If you were to see all the spoons and forks and stuff like that … it’s just phenomenal.”
A more ethically produced record wasn’t the only physical takeaway on his mind. Johns says he kept that same mentality when considering his merchandise booth.
“We obviously sell amazingly high-quality T-shirts, but I also have handmade, eco-friendly shark’s-tooth jewelry that is made out of a kind of abalone called PowerShell,” Johns says.
Aside from the environmentally conscious mindset, Johns says “there were a lot of different elements that didn’t marry up together” on his latest album — one element being the surprised reaction from his listeners.
Yin & Yang is all about embracing opposites and it stands in contrast to the sound of his most popular album, BLUESDADDY — something fans were not expecting.
Johns says that he’s aware that he is known for playing blues and for his work in Clapton tribute The Cream of Clapton Band. Johns says that Yin & Yang doesn’t follow the structure

of classic blues, unlike BLUESDADDY, which is focused on songs that are classics of the venerable American artform.
“People like me to play that kind of stuff,” Johns admits.
“I think because of the different approach on this new album, where it’s all quite original, I’m not sure if it is appreciated as much [by audiences] as me just playing my uncle’s music, for example.”
Despite the unexpected reaction, Johns has had a successful tour of the album thus far. The 38-stop tour run began in September of last year and will continue until late April.

LOCAL RELEASES
Andrea Knight has been a deep enough factor in the Orlando underground to have racked up star collaborations in acts like Shania Pain (with Jason Kimmins/Jas000n), Greasy Bitches (with Superbitch’s Talo McGee) and KOPLI (with Fade Theory’s Rachel Kinbar). But solo vehicle Bacon Grease is the one where she’s shined the longest. Like many artists on the experimental fringe, Knight observes little convention and has historically released Bacon Grease’s output in an informal stream of creativity as singles or live performances. Bacon Grease’s latest drop, however, is a rare full-length album.
The Emotional Distress album is eight tracks — starkly titled “1” through “8” — that intertwine synth minimalism and noise ethos into something intriguingly displacing. Between the electronic repetition underneath and the nervy psychedelic doodles on top, the songs throb like uneasy house music, teetering between hypnosis and anxiety. It’s an edginess that’s apropos to the title and the emotions behind the work. “It’s random recordings I did in the past few months,” says Knight. “All improv. It’s expression of difficult emotions and feeling them out.”
Emotional Distress is only on Bandcamp as a name-your-price download. Bacon Grease will perform live this weekend alongside crimesididntcommit and Platonic Valentine (8 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 18, The Nook on Robinson, free).
With more songs released in 2024 than in quite a few years, it looks like Orlando scene veteran Daniel Hanson has finally brought his act Fast Preacher back up to speed. Released just before New Year’s Eve, latest single “Take It, Fake It” caps a relatively productive year for Fast Preacher. Unlike the other 2024 songs where he played everything himself, Hanson gathered an all-star
Bacon Grease’s new album Emotional Distress intertwines synth minimalism and noise ethos. The songs throb like uneasy house music, teetering between hypnosis and anxiety
cast to flesh out “Take It, Fake It.” Backed by noted area musicians Grant Peyton (electric guitar) and David Levesque (Mellotron, hand percussion), Hanson conjures a prime stroke of Fast Preacher magic.
“Take It, Fake It” is a simmering stomp that’s a kaleidoscope of boogie, rock, folk, psych and soul. While that gumbo looks busy on paper, Hanson’s vision is sharp enough to hone it into an effortlessly slinky T. Rex-esque glide. A svelte and seductive nugget, “Take It, Fake It” is some of Hanson’s best work to date.
“Take It, Fake It” now streams everywhere. Moreover, Fast Preacher will perform live this weekend alongside the very psychedelic likes of Atlanta’s CHEW and Orlando’s Lemon Denim (7 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 19, Will’s Pub, $15-$17).
CONCERT PICKS THIS WEEK
Darsombra, Bryan Raymond, Dougie Flesh and the Slashers: Although just a duo, Baltimore’s Darsombra are a multimedia psych
act that leverages the rock background of Brian Daniloski and the video flair of filmmaker Ann Everton to strange, galactic and mind-expanding effect. Their unusual and unmistakable DIY performances are like an instant trip manifested in real life. Go have your vision quest and still make it to work in the morning. Opening will be rugged folkie Bryan Raymond and folk punks Dougie Flesh and the Slashers. (8 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 16, Lil Indie’s, free)
Lost Noises Office, Ipek Eginli, Jonas Van den Bossche: This exceptional bill proves that not all improv music is noise. Orlando avant-garde supergroup Lost Noises Office will do a special performance using their spellbinding post-pop cabaret sounds to accompany silent films from 1909-1947. Ipek Eginli is a Turkish-American experimentalist whose free improvisation can involve piano, modular synthesizers and Jaap Blonk-esque vocal maneuvers that are at once studied and wild. Completing the bill is experimental guitarist Jonas Van den Bossche. (6:30 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 19, The Dining Room, donations encouraged)
Aye Lazy Afternoon with DJ Rich Medina: Legendary Philadelphia DJ Rich Medina is famous for a smart and unflappably chill frequency that rides the most tasteful edges of house and hip-hop. This time, he’ll lay down the good vibes at a special family-friendly party that starts early and allows kids under 13 in for free. Since it’s at the award-winning Kaya, next-level Filipino food will also be available. Opening will be local notables DJ Sureshot and Soy Is Real as Sucio Boys.

EPCOT International Festival of the Arts
The “s” in “Arts” is doing some heavy lifting in the name of this festival, alluding to a generous, bigtent definition of art that includes sidewalk chalk, acrobats and cookies decorated as paint palettes. EPCOT’s annual Festival of the Arts is unlikely to induce Stendhal Syndrome in any members of your party — there will be no Rembrandts or Rothkos on hand to dazzle. Instead, this is an arts festival of the sip-and-savor, stroll-and-shop school, a form that Disney has perfected: eat-anddrink stations (dubbed “Food Studios”) serving Mondrian-inspired cake slices and wearable popcorn buckets; a paint-by-numbers mural for kids to fill in; mini-stages built for family selfies; limited-edition merchandise for sale, like a “Fruity Fig Bar Figment Disney Munchling”: a berry-scented stuffed plush toy resembling Disney’s dragon mascot reimagined as a fig-bar cookie; concerts of songs from Disney musicals; and of course working artists in booths selling renditions of Disney characters in every imaginable medium: oil paint, collage, pastel, textile and more. As Walt himself once purportedly quipped, “I don’t know if it’s art, but I know I like it.” Through Feb. 24. EPCOT, 200 Epcot Center Drive, Lake Buena Vista; disneyworld.disney.go.com; entry included with park admission. — JBY

Tuesday: Josh Gad at the Dr. Phillips Center
SUNDAY, JAN. 19
Keb’ Mo’
Blues great Keb’ Mo’ returns to Orlando for two performances at Judson’s. For decades, the Grammy-winning singer and guitarist has been a living bridge — both between different eras of the blues and between that last great American artform and the rock world, the latter recently evidenced by Mo’ joining Guns N’ Roses axeman Slash at his Serpent Blues Festival to rip some solos last summer. The dude is an ambassador for the blues, happily taking the music to unconventional stages like the White House, the Big Easy Cruise and the U.K.’s Glastonbury Festival. Between this new round of touring — many dates were rescheduled from late last year when he had to have open-heart surgery — and an upcoming collab album with fellow blues giant Taj Mahal, this is shaping up to be Keb’ Mo’s year. 6 p.m. and 8 p.m., Judson’s Live, Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, 445 S. Magnolia Ave., drphillipscenter.org, $99.50-$114.50. — Matthew Moyer
MONDAY, JAN. 20
Be Careful What You Wish For
Conduit is expanding their already adventurous slate of concerts with an eclectic array of events like Market of the Beast, Dungeons & Dragons sessions and, of late, horror-themed trivia events hosted by Orlando podcaster Scream Queen. This month’s theme is “Be Careful What You Wish For” and features three very different and diabolical wish/desire-based films: Wishmaster, Hellraiser and Re-Animator. The evening features trivia around these three films (with prizes on offer), drink specials and — crucially — themed photo-ops. The recent Terrifier Santa backdrop was amazing, so hopes are high for the perfect Cenobite (maybe!) selfie stop. 7 p.m., Conduit, 6700 Aloma Ave., Winter Park, conduitfl.com, free. — MM

An Evening With Josh Gad
Looking for a night of laughs, stories and a little soul-searching? Josh Gad is here to deliver. Whether you know him as Elder Arnold Cunningham in the Broadway musical The Book of Mormon, LeFou in the live-action adaptation
WEDNESDAY–TUESDAY, JAN. 15-21, 2025
of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, the iconic voice behind everyone’s favorite snowman, Frozen’s Olaf, or producer of upcoming Spaceballs sequel, Spaceballs 2: The Search for More Money, Gad has done it all. And now he’s bringing his “tell-some” show, In Gad We Trust, to Orlando. Think of it as a deep dive into Gad’s world — stories about fatherhood, self-image and his rollercoaster of a ca-
reer, all served up with signature wit. Moderated by Orlandoan and Star Wars voice actress Ashley Eckstein, the evening promises unscripted moments and heartfelt honesty. Got questions? Stick around for the audience Q&A at the end. 7 and 9 p.m., Alexis & Jim Pugh Theater, Dr. Phillips Center, 445 S. Magnolia Ave., drphillipscenter.org, $60-$1000. — Camila Escobar

Meet Nala!
Nala (A475273) is a 9-year-old senior that was found abandoned with another dog. Nala is extremely friendly, calm and gentle. She’s been at the shelter for about a month now, has spent some time in foster care and has done wonderfully. She’s good with dogs, cats and people. We are actually very surprised that she hasn’t been adopted yet, as she checks all the boxes. Beautiful Nala is ready for the next chapter of her life to begin. Ready for a family that will adore her, spoil her and never, ever abandon her.
DRAWN BY KIERAN CASTAÑO
