¶ Florida must establish a nonpartisan judicial nominating system In response to your article “Florida urges appeals court to leave abortion ban in place as lawsuit works through courts,” July 15: In the wake of the Supreme Court ruling stripping a halfcentury of abortion rights, the only thing preventing a complete ban on abortion in Florida is the privacy clause in our state constitution. While the state Supreme Court previously ruled that the constitution’s privacy provisions protect a right to abortion, there seems to be no guarantee on our right to reproductive freedom, especially given that the highly partisan right-wing judges in Florida’s state courts will be relied upon to dispense justice and protect the reproductive rights of Floridians. As the majority of Floridians support Roe v. Wade and abortion in general, it can be difficult to ensure that they can trust their own state courts, particularly when they are stacked so heavily to the right. Legislators need to make the judicial nominating process truly nonpartisan and unbiased, in addition to limiting the governor’s influence over nominating committees. To accomplish this, we must increase citizen involvement in the nomination process and ensure that more state judges have diverse experiences and backgrounds; this is the path to making Florida’s judiciary reflective of the diversity of our state. Without re-establishing a nonpartisan judicial nominating system, Florida’s state courts will serve politicians and not the people, and more of our basic freedoms will be stripped. Ensuring fair and independent state courts is the only ‘WE’RE NOT IN KANSAS’
thing stopping politicians from abusing their power and taking away even more of our rights and freedoms. — Elise Mytelka, Winter Park
¶ Insurrectionists are running for office During the January 6th hearings, we’ve heard from former members of the Trump administration and Republican state officials about how Trump and his allies worked together to try and overthrow our democracy because the 2020 presidential election didn’t go their way. Now, they’re working to make sure all of our elections go their way in the future, whether we vote for them or not. Already, Trumpers in office have changed state laws to weaken our freedom to vote and threatened Republican election administrators who won’t go along with them. Now, they’re running candidates for key election administration offices, from secretary of state to county clerk. Should they win their elections this fall, these officials won’t hesitate to overturn future elections if they or their MAGA allies lose. This completely undermines the tenets of our democracy. The only way we’re going to protect our elections is to fight back and make our voices heard. We have to cast our ballots in the upcoming midterm elections. It’s up to us to hold election deniers accountable at the polls and elect democracy defenders up and down the ballot on November 8th. — Elvia Lopez, Orlando BY CLAY JONES

DeSantis suspends state attorney who won’t prosecute people who get abortions, 15 other states sign on to lawsuit challenging Florida’s ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill, the Mad Cow Theatre moveout turns ugly and other news you may have missed. »
DeSantis suspends state attorney for refusing to prosecute people who receive abortions Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has suspended State Attorney Andrew Warren of the 13th Judicial Circuit in Hillsborough County due to “neglect of duty.” While speaking at a press conference in Tampa, DeSantis cited Article IV, Section 7 of the Constitution of the State of Florida for his decision to issue the executive order, and specifically pointed to Warren’s decision not to pursue charges against abortion patients or doctors, as well as his public support of transgender healthcare. “State Attorneys have a duty to prosecute crimes as defined in Florida law, not to pick and choose which laws to enforce based on his personal agenda,” said DeSantis. “It is my duty to hold Florida’s elected officials to the » highest standards for the people of Florida. Last July, Warren called Florida’s 15-week abortion ban “unconstitutional.” “This 15-week ban is an unconstitutional law. The Legislature is hoping courts ignore the Florida constitution. But I’m upholding the law and protecting the fundamental rights of all Floridians,” said Warren. “Today’s political stunt is an illegal overreach that continues a dangerous pattern by Ron DeSantis of using his office to further his own political ambition,” said Warren in a statement. “It spits in the face of the voters of Hillsborough County who have twice elected me to serve them, not Ron DeSantis. In our community, crime is low, our Constitutional rights — including the right to privacy — are being upheld, and the people have the right to elect their own leaders — not have them dictated by an aspiring presidential candidate who has shown time and again he feels accountable to no one. Just because the governor violates your rights, it doesn’t mean they don’t exist.” Besides signaling his support for gender-affirming care and abortion access, Warren has been a consistent critic of DeSantis, and has also stated that the governor’s “antirioting” bill was tearing off “a couple corners of the constitution.” Warren was elected in 2016 and then re-elected by a large margin in November of 2020.

Mad Cow Theatre sued by city of Orlando for allegedly taking city equipment Mad Cow Theatre’s removal from their longtime space was always going to be ugly. We didn’t realize it would get this nasty, though. After a years-long fight between the city of Orlando and the theater that rented space from them for a token fee ended in eviction, Mad Cow’s HQ was promised to Orlando Fringe as an incubator space for up-andcoming creatives. Now the city is alleging that Mad Cow took tens of thousands of dollars of city-owned equipment out of the space on their way out the door. The city filed a lawsuit against Mad Cow on July 29 saying that the company lifted more than $30,000 in equipment. The theater was required to leave behind the equipment in the terms of a settlement reached with the city. Orlando agreed to waive nearly $500,000 in delinquent fees on the condition that the theater be left in operable condition. City staff involved in the process told Orlando Weekly July 1, “It was the City and Fringe’s understanding that the equipment necessary to operate the 54 West theater space would be in the theater when Orlando Fringe took over. However, that was not the case.” The city lists everything from ticket scanners to sandbags in its list of missing equipment. Mad Cow leadership has yet to publicly respond to the lawsuit. Fringe executives this week told the Orlando Sentinel that a gutted theater would hinder their plans to open the incubator program by 2023. “In discussions with the city from the beginning, we asked that Fringe enter into a fully functioning theater with working theatrical equipment,” Orlando Fringe director Alauna Friskics said. “We have been complying with the city to determine which equipment is there and what is missing so that we can get the theater open as soon as possible.”

“I’m so sick of politicians — and we saw this with COVID — trying to sow fear into the population,” DeSantis said at a news conference this week. “You see some of these states declaring states of emergency, they’re gonna abuse those powers to restrict your freedom. I guarantee to you that’s what will happen.” Declaring states of emergency largely serves to free up sources of funding to help combat the problem of monkeypox. Were Florida to declare a state of emergency, more funds could be allocated to vaccination efforts and keeping people from contracting this particularly painful disease. More than 6,600 cases have been reported in the United States. Florida has more than 500 cases, the third-highest total in the nation.
15 states, D.C. join lawsuit challenging Florida’s ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill Saying the law will “stigmatize and harm LGBTQ youth,” attorneys general from 15 states and the District of Columbia are seeking to aid challengers to a new Florida law that restricts instruction on gender identity and sexual orientation in Florida public schools. The states and the District of Columbia sought approval this week to file a brief in support of a constitutional challenge filed by the LGBTQ-advocacy groups Equality Florida and Family Equality and other plaintiffs. The law prevents instruction on gender identity and sexual orientation in kindergarten through third grade and requires that such instruction be “age-appropriate … in accordance with state academic standards” in older grades. Republican lawmakers titled the measure the “Parental Rights in Education” bill. Opponents label it the “Don’t Say Gay” bill. The state has asked U.S. District Judge Allen Winsor to dismiss the challenge. But the 15 states and the District of Columbia argue that the case should not be dismissed. They filed a motion Wednesday seeking approval to submit a friend-of-the-court brief. They also attached a copy of the brief. “In short, Florida’s extreme approach implies the absence of a legitimate pedagogical purpose, rendering its restrictions on speech and targeting of a minority highly suspect,” the brief said. “And [the 15] states’ experiences show that reasonable policies are available that include LGBTQ people, foster free speech, and accommodate parents. Florida’s turn, instead, to restricting speech and targeting a minority supplies additional evidence of the act’s unconstitutionality.” The 15 states are California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New York and Oregon.
DeSantis refuses to declare monkeypox a public health emergency in Florida After the Biden administration declared monkeypox a public health emergency, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis steadfastly refused any such measures in the state. Under DeSantis’ administration, Florida officials were barred from enforcing protections against coronavirus. Cases and deaths notably spiked in the wake of DeSantis and Florida Republicans’ push to bar vaccination and masking mandates to slow the spread of COVID-19. The death toll from this disease in Florida is higher than the total number of American servicemembers who died in the Vietnam War. DeSantis sees this as a win, noting that the people who managed to go on living didn’t have to live in fear of being asked to wear a small piece of paper over their mouth. orlandoweekly.com

ention patent law at a dinner party and you’re likely to see eyes around the table glaze over. But the patent system undergirds modern U.S. technology — everything from software to the physical mechanics that make smartphones work. In the early aughts, a Florida-based company thought it was going to bring the growing technology economy to Orlando. But two decades and two patent lawsuits later, those dreams have all but evaporated. Around the time boy bands were topping music charts, cell phone technology was on the verge of a revolution. Clunky devices that could double as doorstops were on their way out. Technological breakthroughs meant phones became pocket-sized, and this is where Jeff Parker says his company ParkerVision came into the picture. “We enabled the smartphone to have the high data rates and the worldwide coverage and the reasonable battery life that we all take for granted today,” Parker told Orlando Weekly, “without growing the size of the phone or making smartphone companies eliminate features.”

In the late 1990s, ParkerVision entered into discussions with Qualcomm, now one of the largest wireless technology companies in the world. It looked like Parker’s company was going to kick into a higher gear. Although it’s based in Jacksonville, the company began leasing a facility in Lake Mary in 2000. “I’m looking at this thinking, we’re going to be a 1,000-person company,” Parker said. “This is going to be fabulous. We’re going to bring all kinds of people from all over the world. People aren’t going to just be visiting Orlando because of Disney and the vacation.” Orlando is home to one of ParkerVision’s top engineers. The company’s Lake Mary design space was more than 17,000 square feet. Parker imagined recruiting talent from the Space Coast. But the dream came tumbling down in lawsuits and patent disputes that the company is still fighting today.
Here’s a simplified version of the technology that led to the fallout between ParkerVision and Qualcomm. Innovations in radio frequency technology — how our cell phones send and receive signals that are then converted into data — is a large part of why phones are so ubiquitous today. One of the key developments in the past two decades has been converting signals more efficiently. In old analog hardware, like radios from a century ago, sending and receiving signals was constant work and required bulky mechanics to do the job. Parker says his company’s energy sampling technology, which “samples” slices of radio waves rather than converting the entire signal, offered an elegant solution while also cutting down on noise. And all of it was easily achieved by a small chip. “One of the most interesting parts of our story is the lead inventor [David Sorrells] who developed this was not classically trained in radio frequency technology at all,” Parker said. “In fact, he doesn’t have a formal colMention radio frequency receivers at a dinner party and lege degree.” In internal emails later revealed during their first it’s likely to cause even more glazed eyes than patent law.

court case, Qualcomm employees praised the technology’s potential. “This is virtually the holy grail of RF receiver designs — achievable within practical limits!” One employee wrote in 1998 after ParkerVision approached the company about licensing the technology. “FYI. [T]his is critical technology that we must land based on what we have seen so far,” wrote another employee in a 1999 email to Qualcomm co-founder Irwin Jacobs. The two companies seemed to be on the path to partnership. Qualcomm was not yet the massive company it is today, although it was riding its own wave of early-’90s innovations in mobile phone technology. Because of growing competition, the company restructured in 1998. The next year, Qualcomm’s stock rose 2,619 percent, turning some of its southern California investors into “quillionaires.” Negotiations between ParkerVision and Qualcomm eventually soured. According to ParkerVision, the first technology Qualcomm sold infringing on its patent came in 2006. At that time, advances in 3G mobile technology meant cell phones worked faster than ever. Then, in 2007, the first iPhone was introduced and there was no looking back. From then on, smartphones were central in everybody’s life. In only a few short years, grandpa would figure out how to text you cringey memes and clown-face emojis. As one of the largest mobile chip providers in the world, Qualcomm was capitalizing on all of it. By the time iPhones were let loose on the world, ParkerVision’s conversations with Qualcomm had long since ceased. But Parker says the discovery of a 2011 academic conference paper proved what he long suspected: Qualcomm had stolen their technology. “It’s complete bullshit,” Parker said. “I don’t know a nicer way to say it.” That year, his company sued Qualcomm for patent infringement in the Middle District of Florida and went to court in Orlando. In 2013, a jury agreed with Parker, awarding ParkerVision $173 million in past damages. But the next year, Judge Roy Dalton reversed the decision, siding with Qualcomm. “There was some initial email excitement,” Qualcomm attorney John Scott told Orlando Weekly about the technology. “Some of those emails were used in the first trial and frankly, I think were responsible for the jury verdict. Although it’s never clear in the emails: What is the technology that’s being touted by the engineers?” Patent disputes are complicated and jargony, making the jury’s job hard. Dalton’s reversal in the case came down to inconsistencies in ParkerVision’s expert witness testimony. Scott says the judge granted a motion setting aside the jury verdict, “finding as a matter of law that the admissions that we had obtained in that case meant that we did not infringe those patents.” Andres Sawicki, a University of Miami law professor specializing in intellectual property, told Orlando Weekly the judge’s decision is unusual. “It’s not every day that you see a judge set aside a jury verdict, be it in a patent case or otherwise,” he said. “Typically, courts defer quite a bit to juries.” However, he also noted that these kinds of cases can be hard to untangle. “Qualcomm’s main argument, it seems, is that the ParkerVision patents are the kind of technology that anybody working in the field at the time would have been able to figure out without a great deal of trouble,” Sawicki said. In patent law, this concept is known as prior art, which helps determine whether an invention is novel or not obvious enough to be patented. With companies
racing to find ways to make cell phones smaller and more efficient, the components to build ParkerVision’s technology may have already been in the air in the 1990s. But Sawicki says there’s another side to this concept. “We often have in the patent law space this legal fiction where we think of the inventor sitting in his lab with the whole universe of information in their field pinned up on their wall. And obviously it’s unrealistic.” ParkerVision has had its share of skeptics over the years, even fueling online beefs. A now-defunct website called PV Notes (run by “a group of Silicon Valley entrepreneurs with extensive technical and business backgrounds brought together by the outrageous claims from ParkerVision”) was dedicated to picking apart the technical details of the company’s technological claims. There are also skeptics of its business model. Joe Mullin, Mark Cuban Chair to Eliminate Stupid Patents at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, says ParkerVision hasn’t reported revenue from products since 2006. “Public records show that ParkerVision doesn’t produce any goods or services and instead makes money through patent lawsuits,” Mullin told Orlando Weekly. “And patent assertion entities like ParkerVision exploit our broken patent system, they kill jobs, and they hurt small businesses.” Mullin says with a system that tilts toward patent owners, suing over patent infringement is big money. Last year, 87% of high-tech patent lawsuits in federal courts were filed by entities that got most of their revenue from patent licensing. Mullin says these “patent trolls” often use the cost of litigation as leverage. Going to court can cost millions of dollars. “There’s also a pretty big contingent of once-upona-time businesses that, like, had a thing once that had a small number of sales, or no sales,” Mullin said. “Then it kind of flipped and what was left were patents. And some of them are able to continue to litigate those patents for a long time.” Parker refutes Mullin’s claims, saying his company “relies on the patent system to protect its investment of hundreds of millions of dollars invested in inventing, developing and licensing the cutting-edge, proprietary radio-frequency (RF) technologies that have enabled wireless solution providers to make and sell advanced wireless communication products.” And despite his years of pursuing justice in the courts, Parker is no fan of the lawsuits either: “We could be building more products, more technologies, employing lots of engineers. But instead, all of our money is going to litigation.” Others believe there could actually be value in giving people the ability to work on new technologies without bankrupting themselves. “When we’re going to be investing in innovation, we don’t know in advance which paths are going to be successful and which ones are going to fail,” Sawicki said. “And so one thing we’re going to want to do is create a mechanism for people to be able to monetize even their less successful efforts.” Legal battles between the companies continued to chug
along after Judge Dalton’s 2014 decision, with challenges in the Patent Trial and Appeal Board, a federal board that was created to settle patent disputes outside of the regular court system and for far less money than litigation. Each side notched wins with the board. Then, ParkerVision and Qualcomm were back in an Orlando courthouse over yet another patent dispute in 2020. The pandemic delayed proceedings but in March of this year, Judge Paul Byron, who believed a jury wouldn’t be able to understand the technology, ruled in favor of Qualcomm. ParkerVision has appealed the case and the appeal is likely to get underway next year.
The years-long struggle raises many questions, not least of all how the patent system can work better. Mullin says there are a number of options. Strengthening the Patent Trial and Appeal Board, better known as the PTAB, is one avenue. Established under the America Invents Act a decade ago, its sole purpose is to determine whether a patent is valid or not and keep these cases out of the legal system. Mullin says it’s been especially effective at limiting patent trolls’ damage on the system. But he adds that the Trump administration has undermined the PTAB, leading to a growing number of cases thrown out on technicalities. Mullin says another issue is the number of patents that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office grants each year. In 2020, the office issued more than 350,000 utility patents, the most common type of patent. He says it’s impossible for the office to give each application (which totaled nearly 600,000 that year) a thorough examination. The PTAB, if strengthened and relieved of loopholes, could be an important backstop for this process. Last year, Senator Patrick Leahy introduced the Restoring the America Invents Act in Congress to do just that. Orlando’s tech sector still lags behind the national average in employment numbers. But the industry is growing. Between 2015 and 2020, high-tech job numbers in the Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford metro area grew by 26.8% — three times the national average. And in recent years, there have been some high-profile moves in the area. In March, Electronic Arts opened its Central Florida office at Creative Village in downtown Orlando. The video game developer has a workforce of about 1,000 employees in the area. The $1.5 billion mixed-use building is also part of the new downtown campus for the University of Central Florida and Valencia College, and houses UCF’s game design programs. Building on its gaming prowess and the virtual reality companies that call the city home, the Orlando Economic Partnership has declared the city the center of the emerging “metaverse.” Orlando is also home to other prestige tech companies. Stax (formerly Fattmerchant) has been described as the “Netflix of credit card processing.” Its unique approach to credit card transactions has earned the company a valuation exceeding $1 billion, officially making the company a unicorn this year. Stax CEO Suneera Madhani says her company is only the first unicorn to come out of Orlando. Orlando’s newest neighborhood, Lake Nona, is getting in on the tech action, too. A German aviation company is planning to open its first “vertiport” for air taxis in the U.S. in the neighborhood by 2025. (Caveats: The aircraft is still in the developmental phase and only the rich will be able to afford trips in the taxis for at least the first decade.) Lake Nona also is home to self-driving shuttle startup Beep. All of this fits in with Orlando’s plan to be a “futureready city.” (The master plan is also available in a virtual meeting room — Metaverse, eat your heart out.) This was the theme for Buddy Dyer’s 2019 State of the City address. In it, Dyer expressed the importance of the tech sector for the city. “Our future success depends on our ability to attract and grow talent, our ability to take advantage of the sweeping technological advancements coming our way.” However, with a system out of whack and dispute cases on the rise, Orlando’s burgeoning tech industry likely hasn’t seen its last patent feud. Still, who knows? If the tech revolution continues in Orlando, Epcot’s vision of the future, which has shimmered for so long just over our horizon, might soon take a backseat to the real thing.

THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME Democrats are playing with fire as they spend money to try to manipulate Republican primaries BY JEFFREY C. BILLMAN
I
t’s possible, if unlikely, that John Gibbs would have beaten Michigan Rep. Peter Meijer (R-MI) without Democrats’ help. While the $450,000 they spent exceeded what Gibbs raised during the campaign, it paled in comparison to Meijer’s arsenal. Besides, Gibbs had Donald Trump’s endorsement, which is worth twice that sum in Republican primaries. But to the degree it mattered, the meddling paid off. Democrats got the matchup they wanted: Instead of challenging a normie incumbent in November, Democrat Hillary Scholten will face an election-denying, possibly anti-Semitic former Trump staffer who promoted the weird-ass conspiracy theory that Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager participated in Satanic rituals. A seat they would probably lose became a seat they’ll probably win. This wasn’t the first time this cycle that the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) tried to game a Republican primary on behalf of a MAGA mouth-breather. It was, however, the first time their preferred opponent won. Machiavelli would be proud. But the DCCC is playing a very dangerous game, one whose short-term benefits are far outweighed by its longterm risks. Meijer was one of only 10 Republicans — and the only freshman — to vote for Trump’s impeachment following the Jan. 6 insurrection. Quite appropriately, Democratic leaders praised his “courage and integrity” while denouncing “opportunistic politicians who desire to rule at all cost.” Meijer’s party, meanwhile, joked about assassinating him. But as soon as Democrats no longer found it useful to pit Good Republicans against Trump’s Lackeys, they dropped nearly half a mill reminding Michigan Republicans that Gibbs was Trump’s guy and shrugging off the hypocrisy by quoting Jean-Paul Sartre: “In politics, we all have dirty hands up to our elbows. Nobody’s pure,” Rep. Jamie Raskin said. The day before the primary, Meijer wrote that it was nauseating to watch “my Democratic colleagues to sell out any pretense of principle for political expediency — at once decrying the downfall of democracy while rationalizing the use of their hard-raised dollars to prop up the supposed object of their fears. “The Democrats are justifying this political jiu-jitsu by making the argument that politics is a tough business. I don’t disagree. But that toughness is bound by certain moral limits: Those who participated in the attack on the Capitol,

for example, clearly fall outside those limits. But over the course of the midterms, Democrats seem to have forgotten just where those limits lie.” This is an important point: Either Trump and his acolytes pose an existential threat to our democratic institutions or they don’t. If they do — and they do — why elevate them? Michigan’s 3rd District is a tossup. But it won’t be the tossup on which Congress turns. To keep control of the House, Democrats have to win all the races that FiveThirtyEight currently rates as tossups — plus a handful that favor Republicans. So it’s worth asking whether the juice is worth the squeeze. But the real danger lies in the message Democrats sent: If you do the right thing, we’ll fuck you for it. What incentive do Republicans have to take “courageous” stands if they know that not only will their party ostracize them, but the other guys will pour fuel on the fire? That’s not to say that Democrats should help Republicans win re-election. But they shouldn’t go out of their way to defeat the ones who respect the rule of law. It’s not like the GOP is getting less authoritarian. In Dallas this week, the Conservative Political Action Conference invited autocrat Viktor Orban, the prime minister of Hungary — whose close adviser recently resigned while calling a racist speech Orban made “pure Nazi” — to open its event. Orban delivered a grievance-ridden address about “globalists” and “communists” and “fake news.” Trump, Sen. Ted Cruz and other Republican luminaries followed. Meanwhile, in Florida, Gov. Ron DeSantis wielded his executive powers in an unprecedentedly autocratic fashion.
He suspended a twice-elected district attorney for what DeSantis called “incompetence”: signing pledges not to prosecute doctors who provide reproductive and genderaffirming health care services — and criticizing DeSantis for his authoritarian actions. Ironic, huh? DeSantis, of course, is the governor who revoked Disney’s longstanding tax benefit in retaliation for the company lightly criticizing his anti-LGBTQ efforts. “I don’t think the people of Hillsborough [County] want to have an agenda that is basically woke, where you’re deciding that your view of social justice means certain laws shouldn’t be enforced,” DeSantis said. Another bit of irony: The DA he suspended won re-election in 2020 with 53 percent of the vote, whereas DeSantis won in 2018 by 0.4 percentage points while getting stomped in Hillsborough. So maybe he should take a pass on claiming to know what the people there want. The governor’s bumbling attempts at dictatorship might be darkly comedic … if he weren’t a frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination. But if and when the little tyrant becomes everyone’s problem, our democracy will need Republicans willing to stand against him at their own political peril. When Democrats shiv someone like Meijer, they’re making that less likely — and lending credibility to Trumpian claims that their concerns about democratic erosion are nothing more than political posturing.

PROCESS OVER PRODUCT Shannon Rae Lindsey explores the nature of objects at Casselberry Sculpture House BY NICOLETTE SHU R BA
I
n his 1956 science fiction short story “The Last Question,” Isaac Asimov invites readers to consider the end through the beginning, or the beginning through the end — order and chaos. The plot, set in 2061 and beyond, revolves around a question repeatedly asked by man that stumps even the galaxy’s most sophisticated sentient computers: How might we rebuild our universe despite its inevitable end? How can we reverse entropy? But while the supercomputer Multivac and human hivemind Zee Prime were concerned with thwarting entropy to preserve life at the end of time, Shannon Rae Lindsey, current artist-in-residence at Casselberry’s Sculpture House, is dedicated to embracing entropy in all its beauty and curiosity. In August 2004, during a previous career as a pharmacy technician, Lindsey traveled to Arcadia, Florida, to serve the small DeSoto community while residents dealt with the damage following Hurricane Charley. In the midst of her

work, Lindsey observed and was intrigued by the unfamiliarity of the familiar. Metal roofing wrapped around telephone poles led her to deeper questions of our understanding of objects, materials and definitions. This was a pivotal moment in Lindsey’s career as an artist, and in her work she began to explore how context changes our perception of an object. “I hope to re-create that moment of wonder and engagement with the viewer that there’s this little flicker of familiarity and then you’re enticed to get closer and [ask] ‘How do I know what this is?’” Lindsey says. Lindsey’s current solo exhibition at the Sculpture House showcases new works and new processes from the artist, including screenprinted paper collages and webs of mixed media. But the centerpiece is the sweeping sitespecific installations comprised of construction implements — including a lustrous vortex of metal roofing material arranged delicately in large ribbon-like folds — and an entire

room of cascading and frayed orange silt fencing. “The installations are really exciting because they’re really defined by the space,” Lindsey says. “They’re site-specific, they respond to the amount of space that I’m able to use, the architecture, and they are also defined by how much time I have to install them.” Her residency at this Casselberry gallery space — a former residential home acquired and repurposed by the city of Casselberry as an extension to their city arts program — gave her the opportunity to exhibit her three-dimensional works. “I’m dependent on this public-facing venue to be able to install installations,” says Lindsey. “Whereas, the twodimensional stuff obviously looks the same as it does in my studio, the installations are really dependent on having that space, and I like to show them with the two-dimensional work because it really is a two-dimensional and three-dimensional approach to the work itself.”

Lindsey’s practice is rooted in Process art, a movement that flourished in the 1960s utilizing nontraditional manufactured materials, with a brief that the act of creating the work was as important, if not more than, the finished work itself. “I really lean into that because the materials that I use are mostly manufactured construction materials and I discovered them and have spent many years exploring them in my practice because … I have an interest in perception and specifically, how we perceive something as being ordered or disordered, and also, hand-in-hand, being useful or being non-useful,” Lindsey says. Much of her work revolves around the difficulty in definition, and the fact that how we define things is based on our points of comparison and perspective. In her process-based approach, Lindsey is less concerned with manipulating objects to fit a preconceived notion, and more with exploring an object’s intrinsic possibilities. “I don’t really care about these things doing what I want them to do. I want to embrace what it will naturally do,” says
Lindsey. “What are the characteristics of these materials and in which they will show their work, contemporary artists how can I interact with it in different processes to reveal dif- sharing their practice, and the community surrounding all ferent aspects of them?” coming together in this one place,” she says.

Welcome to the hightech fantasy and hair-pulling frustration known as the Disney MagicBand+ Look upon Disney’s MagicBand+, ye mighty, and despair | photo by Seth Kubersky
One Night
Between the record-setting sec- to tap their way through turnstiles instead of game are all clustered together in a central ond-quarter revenues recently reported by Central Florida area attractions and the rapidly rising levels of traffic at Orlando International Airport, it seems like our local tourism industry has rebounded at full speed from the pandemic this summer — but one major thing has been missing. While the crowds may be back in full force, with an ever-increasing roster of resurrected live performances to keep them entertained, this summer there’s been a noticeable deficit of major new ride debuts. For example, SeaWorld opened its Ice Breaker roller coaster back in February, and has begun teasing a stand-up Surf Coaster for 2023, but its only new draws for the summer were fireworks and food festivals. Likewise, after opening a blockbuster new attraction nearly every summer for the past decade, Universal not only passed on adding anything substantial to its existing parks this season, but, as of this writing, has also been unable to reopen Revenge of the Mummy following its multimonth refurbishment. Memorial Day’s long-delayed opening of Epcot’s Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind coaster was the exception that proved the rule, as Walt Disney World’s three other theme parks received no substantive additions for this summer’s resurgent audiences. But in lieu of adding new actual adventures included with regular admission, late last month Disney introduced a new optional accessory that — depending on your level of cynicism — is either an exciting evolution in interactive technology, or a desperately underdeveloped cash grab. Welcome to the high-tech fantasy and hair-pulling frustration known as MagicBand+. “MagicBand” will already be a familiar buzzword to anyone who has vacationed at Disney World over the past decade, and many annual passholders like myself probably already own a half-dozen or more of the low-powered RFID-enabled wristbands, which were a cornerstone of Disney’s controversial billion-dollar MyMagic+ information technology project. For years, MagicBands were provided free to onsite hotel guests and passholders, allowing them
scanning traditional tickets. However, promised MagicBand-triggered effects inside the parks either never materialized or faded away, as Disney focused on smartphonebased interactivity instead. Rather than abandon the bands entirely, Disney has doubled down and released MagicBand+, which squeezes in additional technology — including a ring of multi-colored lights, haptic vibration motors and Bluetooth wireless communication — to bridge the gap for guests between the free PlayDisney app’s digital games and the physical theme park around them. In addition to performing all the same functions as the original MagicBand (which will also remain available and fully operational for the foreseeable future), MagicBand+ lets wearers enjoy exclusive app-based activities around the Walt Disney World Resort, including the Fab 50 Quest in all four parks; the Star Wars: Batuu Bounty Hunt around Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios; and synchronized effects during nighttime spectaculars. (Raise your hand if you remember the ill-fated “Glow With the Show” and “Made With Magic” light-up merchandise.) Alas, my opening-day MagicBand+ experience was less than magical. Although I was able to purchase my preferred design on the morning of their debut without a long delay, it emerged from the box with a dead battery. A much smarter move is to order yours online ahead of time via shopdisney.com. That way, you can charge the band, connect it to your park admission using your My Disney Experience app (remove your phone’s case if tapping doesn’t trigger the process), and update its firmware and settings (be sure to pick your favorite color and turn on increased motion sensitivity in the options) before arriving at the resort, instead wasting time in the park trying to get it working like I did. Once my MagicBand+ was fully powered and paired, it didn’t take too long for me to exhaust the interactive entertainments that the devices currently enable. The Fab 50 Quest is pretty much a failure, at least in the two parks I’ve tried it at so far. The interactive golden character statues involved in the
location at Epcot and Hollywood Studios, killing the scavenger hunt’s challenge; waving your MagicBand+ at them makes you look ridiculous, and only triggers a reaction about half the time; and the payoff — a brief sound clip that’s often too quiet to understand and some stiffly animated augmented reality (AR) characters viewable inside the app — barely seems worth the effort. Batuu Bounty Hunting fared far better, but still wasn’t without its flaws. After receiving an assignment, I roamed Black Spire Outpost seeking my mark like the Mandalorian. My MagicBand+ buzzed and blinked as I tracked my alien prey, who was ultimately revealed (again via AR) behind a sealed door emblazoned with a yellow skull symbol. This digital game of hot-and-cold makes a fun distraction while waiting for your Rise of the Resistance Lightning Lane time, but the clues can be confusing — especially when it’s too sunny to see the MagicBand+’s colored lights, which is almost always — and after a few rounds, my band’s low-battery warning began blinking. Ultimately, there’s no reason that all these features couldn’t have been integrated into Disney’s apps for smartphones or Apple Watch. No reason, that is, except the opportunity to sell digital handcuffs to Disney diehards like myself for $35-$45 apiece. Without question, Walt Disney World has plenty of obsessed passholders who will appreciate MagicBand+ as one more diversion during their near-daily visits. The real test will come late this year when MagicBand+ debuts at Disneyland in California, which has decimated its Magic Key passes for locals in favor of prioritizing short-term tourists. Those folks may be better served spending that MagicBand+ money on a couple of days’ worth of Genie+ Lightning Lane privileges, or one of the interactive Power-Up bands that will be sold at Super Nintendo World, which should open shortly after at rival Universal Studios Hollywood. A wristband-based battle between Mickey and Mario? Now that’s a Super Smash Brothers bout I can’t wait to watch.

The restaurant, hidden within fried chicken gizzards ($15) off a gorgeous the V-shaped cluster of businesses inside plate stacked with chicken hearts and small the “1216” plaza near the corner of Mills and eggs.

herbs, sprouts, scallions and cilantro, the soup is topped with dried bamboo shoots grown in the highlands of Vietnam. And that pristine bone broth buoys the phó gà ($13.95) as well, a bowl of Vietnamese penicillin that I’ll be ordering the next time I’m under the weather. When Huynh and I meet at Ga 2 To three months later, the menu features additional items, including the eponymous gà 2 tô ($14.50). It translates to “chicken in 2 bowls” and that’s what you get — a bowl consisting of rice noodles, chicken, pig heart and herbs in a blistering sauce; and another bowl with chicken broth, also spicy, with those “young eggs.” Do the dip or alternate bites between dry and wet. Either way, it makes an incredible meal. Enjoying the soup with fried imperial rolls ($12) makes it a superlative one. They’re superbly crisp and come filled with a mix of chicken and shiitake mushrooms. We also try the marinated chicken with mung bean sticky rice ($16.95). The seasoned legs slicked with soy and secrets take a back seat to the rice. Mung beans are steamed, mashed into balls, then shaved onto the turmeric-tinged rice topped with fried shallots. I can see why Hanoians consider xôi xéo a breakfast staple — in addition to being soft and chewy, the rice is subtly sweet as well. Certainly not as sweet as the egg coffee ($7), though. Egg yolks are beaten into an airy fluff with sweetened condensed milk for 10 minutes before being poured atop bold, caffeine-rich robusta coffee. It’s wickedly addictive, this cà phê trúng, and another breakfast staple as well. And if you’re wondering if Ga 2 To is open for breakfast, they’re not — maybe that’s the twist.

PREMIERES MONDAY: Deepa & Anoop — Preschool viewers get some new role models in the form of an Indian girl and her pet elephant. Sima Taparia says they’re perfect for each other, but she’ll wait until they’re an appropriate age to draw up the marriage contract. (Netflix)
Five Days at Memorial — This reality-based miniseries about the effects of Hurricane Katrina on a New Orleans hospital was originally pitched as a season of Ryan Murphy’s American Crime Story. Instead, Murphy went with an adaptation of the Clinton/Lewinsky impeachment scandal. I guess he felt Hurricane Katrina just hadn’t blown hard enough. (Sorry everybody, I’m always a little rusty when I come back from vacation.) (Apple TV+)

LOCAL RELEASES
Matt Kamm has long been one of the area’s most colorful freaks, recording mostly under various iterations of the Tele name. But in recent years, he hasn’t been especially prolific. That’s why his latest Tele & the Ghost of Our Lord release is particularly noteworthy. Here, Kamm finally unleashes the pop diva within and goes all Top 40. No, of course that’s not true. Anyone who knows this inveterate weirdo either saw right through that or is currently wiping up the spit take they just did upon reading it. Still, the new Tele & the Ghost of Our Lord single “Go Back to Bed,” though unquestionably psychedelic, is one of Kamm’s more lucid trips. The spacey pop gem coasts on a dream cloud whirring with retro-futuristic electronic flourishes, but its sonic clarity makes it as distilled and accessible a gateway into Matt Kamm’s surrealist realm as they come. This four-minute Technicolor fantasy now streams everywhere. It’s also available as a name-your-price download on Bandcamp for the collectors out there. Orlando’s Florida Slang — the indie-pop duo of Jeff Ilgenfritz (Mumpsy, Moonmen from Mars, Luscious Lisa and many others) and Darci Ricciardi — have just released new album Bright Futures on Post Records. I already hinted at the volume of material they’re sitting on when I first wrote about the band last October upon their debut. Just to update the count, this will be their third full-length collection in well under a year. Anyone else feeling like a slack ass right now? Anyway, the nine-song Bright Futures is another well-crafted batch of balmy and sweetly sentimental tunes. In musical new-
Matt Kamm has long been one of the area’s most colorful freaks. His new single as Tele & the Ghost of Our Lord, “Go Back to Bed,” is a spacey pop gem, a four-minute Technicolor fantasy
comer Ricciardi, it’s clear that Ilgenfritz has found an inspiring new collaborator, one who’s spurred him into an impressive new phase of prolificacy. With songs like the skyward swoon of “Heartbeat,” the album’s latest single, he’s audibly rejuvenated. Bright Futures now streams everywhere.
CONCERT PICKS THIS WEEK If you’re coming out, be safe, be cool.
Voodoo Kulture: Leave it to Nigel John and Mr. Mogembo to turn out a fresh and deep take on a dance music event. The two veteran local DJs are pushing their rhythmic intellect down a more experimental rabbit hole this time, diving into a darker side of house music steeped in heady Afro and Latin sounds. The event takes place in the upstairs loft space but the destination will be deep underground. (9 p.m. Friday, Aug. 12, Magnolia Orlando, $6-$10)
Nothing Butt Rock Fest: You may not be proud of it, but you may wanna check out this show. As the name implies, it’s a showcase where local bands (Felicity, Breed, The High Ground) impersonate some true legends of butt rock (Nickelback, Godsmack, Three Days Grace). Although these aren’t mine personally, nobody appreciates a guilty pleasure like me. And I gotta applaud the truly dreadful lengths this show is willing to go to. This one’s gonna be a riot. (8 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 13, Will’s Pub, $15$20) Jayo: If there’s one thing that the golden era of East Coast hip-hop has taught us, it’s that jazz and rap go boom-bap together like chocolate and peanut butter. And there are few acts in town that embody that divine bridge live like Orlando’s Jayo. He’s not just a multi-instrumentalist and beatboxer who plays keys, guitar and bass; he’s also a looper who can lay it all down and stitch it together on his own. Go get on that abstract, original tip. (8 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 13, Bynx, free) City Morgue: With lots of menacing looks and face tats, the young New York rap duo of ZillaKami and SosMula are some of today’s biggest poster boys of shock and sensation. But without music that’s equal to it, even the most lurid horrorcore extremity becomes camp. City Morgue, however, serve up deliciously nasty bangers like the bloody sons of Gravediggaz and DMX. It’s splashy, it’s demented and it’s some of the best hardcore rap in the game right now. (6 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 17, The Beacham, $25) baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

Michael Bublé
Velvety-smooth crooner Michael Bublé is on his summertime “Higher” tour, and the man has a date with Orlando on Wednesday. Bublé is kicking off his U.S. jaunt in the South, and there’s plenty of Florida love — shows in Orlando, Sunrise and Tampa are on the books. The multi-platinum singer — and favorite of grandparents everywhere — will be showcasing songs from his newest album, Higher. If you’re lucky, the Canadian singer might even bust out his new cover of Olivia Rodrigo‘s pop hit “Drivers License.” 8 p.m., Amway Center, 400 W. Church St., amwaycenter.com, $65-$165. — Matthew Moyer THURSDAY, AUG. 11
War on the Catwalk Florida is currently having a moment of hateful stupidity regarding drag. Gov. DeSantis recently filed a complaint against a Miami establishment that hosts a drag brunch that children were allowed at, trotting out the whole “culture war” talking point that the event was an attempt to “sexualize” children. (We will now hold our breath until DeSantis serves a similar complaint to Hooters. Oops, we died.) So this has been on our minds, and the protests at “Drag Queen Story Hours” at public libraries have been on our minds. What right-wingers are breathlessly spouting about drag is wrong and disingenuous; it’s a beautiful art form that’s both a pastiche of pop-culture at its wildest and all about the ecstasy of performance as liberation. We guess all this is to say that the touring “War on the Catwalk” will be at the Plaza Live, with Drag Race stars including The Vivienne, Krystal Versace, Kita Mean, Kornbread, Priyanka, Kylie Sonique Love, Denali and Crystal Methyd. Make it sell out. 8 p.m., The Plaza Live, 425 N. Bumby Ave., dragfans. com, $35-$199. — MM FRIDAY, AUG. 12

Anthrax, Black Label Society If you had “Go Metal Thrashing Mad” on your summer to-do list, you’re in luck. NYC
thrash godfathers Anthrax and rockers Black Label Society are bringing their U.S. co-headlining tour to Orlando this week. The tour is a belated 40th anniversary celebration for venerable metalheads Anthrax, and the band’s guitarist Scott Ian has likened the tour lineup to “the night of 1,000 crushing riffs.” Hatebreed ably serves as touring opener. It’s also worth noting that this is the only Florida date of the entire run, and it’s inches away from selling out. Who’s the man? They all are! 6 p.m., House of Blues, Disney Springs, houseofblues.com, $49.50-$92.75. — MM SATURDAY, AUG. 13
Red Bull BC One Cypher Southeast One of the most lauded breakdancing competitions in the U.S. is going down in the City Beautiful this weekend, when the Red Bull BC One Southeast Regional pits the city’s best pop-and-lockers against each other in the hopes of advancing to the national finals. The competition will be hosted by Myverse, a local battle-rapper and MC, and the winner will be chosen by a panel of veteran dancers. This competition draws breakdancers from all over the Southeast to compete for a coveted spot at the upcoming National Finals in Los Angeles. The winner of the U.S. finals will then go on to represent the country at the eventual world championship in New York City. But first they have to make it out of Orlando. Limber up. 1 p.m., Celine Orlando, 22 S. Magnolia Ave., celineorlando.com, $10. — Maitane Orue MONDAY, AUG. 15
The In-Between Series: Lost Noises Office Local experimental supergroup Lost Noises Office — with members drawn from Obliterati, the Tangled Bell Ensemble and Alterity Chamber Orchestra — make their long-awaited live return in a very fitting space this week.

Percussionist Mario Schambon — who has worked with the likes of Damo Suzuki and Bradford Cox — was added to the group, and the final piece of the LNO puzzle fell into place when oboist Beatriz Ramirez (Alterity, Belt & Ramirez) came into the fold.

Blxst
Just last week, Californian MC/ singer Blxst got his first platinum certification for 2020 single “Chosen” (a song that boasts features from Ty Dolla $ign and Tyga). And while that’s got to feel good, Blxst is already moving forward fast, touring the U.S. behind new album Before You Go on Red Bull(!) Records. Stepping into the spotlight and out of the studio after potent production for the likes of Kendrick Lamar and YG, Blxst immediately made his mark with an R&B/hip-hop hybrid paired with personal lyrics and smooth delivery on his No Love Lost debut. This year would appear to be his for the taking: collaborating with Rick Ross, performing on the Tonight Show and taking his live show to spots as far-flung as New Zealand.

ORLANDO WEEKLY ● AUG. 10-16, 2022 ● orlandoweekly.com
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): One of the inspiring experiments I hope you will attempt in the coming months is to work on loving another person as wildly and deeply and smartly as you love yourself. In urging you to try this exercise, I don’t mean to imply that I have a problem with you loving yourself wildly and deeply and smartly. I endorse your efforts to keep increasing the intensity and ingenuity with which you adore and care for yourself. But here’s a secret: Learning to summon a monumental passion for another soul may have the magic power of enhancing your love for yourself. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Musician Viv Albertine has recorded four albums and played guitar for the Slits, a famous punk band. She has also written two books and worked as a TV director for 20 years. Her accomplishments are impressive. Yet she also acknowledges that she has spent a lot of time in bed for many reasons: needing to rest, seeking refuge to think and meditate, recovering from illness, feeling overwhelmed or lonely or sad. She admiringly cites other creative people who, like her, have worked in their beds: Emily Dickinson, Patti Smith, Edith Sitwell and Frida Kahlo. I mention this, Virgo, because the coming days will be an excellent time for you to seek sanctuary and healing and creativity in bed. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Libran author Katherine Mansfield wrote, “The mind I love must have wild places, a tangled orchard where dark damsons drop in the heavy grass, an overgrown little wood, the chance of a snake or two, and a pool that nobody’s fathomed the depth of.” Be inspired by her in the coming weeks, Libra. I suspect you will flourish if you give yourself the luxury of exploring your untamed side. The time is ripe to wander in nature and commune with exciting influences outside your comfort zone. What uncharted frontier would you enjoy visiting? SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): When you are functioning at your best, you Scorpios crave only the finest, top-quality highs. You embrace joys and pleasures that generate epiphanies and vitalizing transformations. Mediocre varieties of fun don’t interest you. You avoid debilitating indulgences that provide brief excitement but spawn long-term problems. In the coming weeks, dear Scorpio, I hope you will embody these descriptions. It’s crucial that you seek gratifications and delectations that uplift you, ennoble you and bless your future. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Wish on everything,” advises Sagittarian author Francesca Lia Block. “Pink cars are good, especially old ones. And first stars and
shooting stars. Planes will do if they are the first light in the sky and look like stars. Wish in tunnels, holding your breath and lifting your feet off the ground. Birthday candles. Baby teeth.” Your homework during the next two weeks, Sagittarius, is to build a list of further marvels that you will wish on. It’s the Magic Wish season of the year for you: a time when you’re more likely than usual to encounter and generate miracles. Be proactive! Oh, and very important: What are your three top wishes? CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Author Aldous Huxley wrote, “That people do not learn much from the lessons of history is the most important lesson that history has to teach.” While his observation is true much of the time, I don’t think it will be so for you in the coming weeks. I suspect you will triumph over past patterns that have repeated and repeated themselves. You will study your life story and figure out what you must do to graduate from lessons you have finally, completely learned. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In the film I Origins, a scientist says this to a lover: “When the Big Bang happened, all the atoms in the universe were smashed together into one little dot that exploded outward. So my atoms and your atoms were together then. … My atoms have always known your atoms.” Although this sounds poetic, it’s true in a literal sense: The atoms that compose you and me and everyone else were originally all squeezed together in a tiny space. We knew each other intimately! The coming days will be an excellent time to celebrate your fundamental link with the rest of the universe. You’ll be extra receptive to feeling connection. You’ll be especially adept at fitting your energy together with others’. You’ll love the sensation of being united, merged, blended. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): My Piscean friend Luna sent me a message that sums up how I feel about you these days. I’ll repeat it here in the hope it will inspire you to be perfectly yourself. Luna said, “Every time I meet someone who was born within like two weeks of my birthday, I end up with the impression that they are the loopiest and wisest person I’ve met in a long time. They are totally ridiculous and worthy of profound respect. They are unhinged and brilliantly focused. They are fuzzyheaded dreamers who couldn’t possibly ever get anything practical accomplished and they are lyrical thinkers who charm me with their attunement to the world’s beauty and impress me with their understanding of how the world works. Hahahahaha. Luckily for me, I know the fool is sacred.”
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Tips to get the most out of the coming weeks: No. 1, exercise your willpower at random moments just to keep it limber. No. 2, be adept at fulfilling your own hype. No. 3, argue for fun. Be playful and frisky as you banter. Disagree for the sport of it, without feeling attached to being right or needing the last word. No. 4, be unable to understand how anyone can resist you or not find you alluring. No. 5, declare yourself President of Everything, then stage a coup d’état. No. 6, smile often when you have no reason to. No. 7, if you come upon a “square peg, round hole” situation, change the shape of the hole. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): If I had to choose a mythic deity to be your symbolic helper, I would pick Venus. The planet Venus is ruler of your sign, and the goddess Venus is the maven of beauty and love, which are key to your happiness. But I would also assign Hephaestus to you Tauruses. He was the Greek god of the metalworking forge. He created Zeus’ thunderbolts, Hermes’ winged helmet, Aphrodite’s magic bra, Achilles’ armor, Eros’ bow and arrows, and the thrones for all the deities in Olympus. The things he made were elegant and useful. I nominate him to be your spirit guide during the next 10 months. May he inspire you to be a generous source of practical beauty. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): To be a true Gemini, you must yearn for knowledge — whether it’s about coral reefs, ancient maps of Sumer, sex among jellyfish, mini-black holes, your friends’ secrets or celebrity gossip. You need to be an eternal student who craves education. Are some things more important to learn than others? Of course, but that gauge is not always apparent in the present. A seemingly minor clue or trick you glean today may become unexpectedly helpful a month from now. With that perspective in mind, I encourage you to be promiscuous in your lust for new information and teachings in the coming weeks. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Cancerian drummer Ringo Starr is in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Though he has received less acclaim than his fellow Beatles, many critics recognize him as a skillful and original drummer. How did he get started? At age 13, he contracted tuberculosis and lived in a sanatorium for two years. The medical staff encouraged him to join the hospital band, hoping it would stimulate his motor skills and alleviate boredom. Ringo used a makeshift mallet to bang the cabinet near his bed. Good practice! That’s how his misfortune led to his joy and success. Is there an equivalent story in your life, Cancerian? The coming months will be a good time to take that story to its next level. orlandoweekly.com

Q: I’m a 36-year-old married woman who fantasizes about her husband of 10 years being intimate with other women. This isn’t a new thing for me. I’ve fantasized about this for years, but we’ve never acted on it. He is intrigued but afraid that it might somehow damage our relationship. I’ve done some research on it and it’s something I’m eager to try. (With my husband’s consent, of course!) But in all my research, I’ve found different and sometimes conflicting definitions of what it means to be a “cuckquean.” I’m interested in watching my husband pleasure and be pleasured by another woman in a purely physical way. I’m not interested in being “cheated on.” No flirty texts, no unsanctioned coffee dates. I’ve read accounts of women who are turned on by the humiliation and insecurity of their partner being with others, often women the husband knows “in real life,” either through work or through social life. In my case, I would rather my husband not even know the name of the other woman. And he would only be able to sleep with her with my consent and I would want to be “in control” of the situation. So, what does that make me? Do cuckqueans come in all different proclivities? I feel like the end result is the same — my partner bedding someone else — but my motivation is different than what I’ve seen. What The Cuck Am I? A: “The scenario WTCAI describes sounds more like hotwifing with the gender roles reversed than cuckolding,” says Venus, host of “The Venus Cuckoldress Podcast.” “She’s interested in hothusbanding!” Let’s quickly define terms. A man into hotwifing enjoys “sharing” his wife with other men, WTCAI, and a woman into hot-husbanding enjoys “sharing” her husband with other women. (All this sharing, of course, is consensual.) Cuckolds, on the other hand, aren’t sharing their wives. They’re being “cheated on” by their wives. And cuckqueans aren’t sharing their husbands. They’re being “cheated on” by their husbands. Cuckolds and cuckqueans, by definition, don’t just wanna see their spouses fucking another person, they also want their partners to humiliate and degrade them. (I put “cheated on” in quotes because the “cheating” is consensual and symbolic; likewise, “sharing” is in quotes above because spouses aren’t property.) “But cuckolding and hotwifing have a really wide spectrum of practices and dynamics,” says Venus. “Some cucks are submissive and get into degradation, and some cucks really aren’t subs or into degradation at all. I don’t see why hothusbanding/ cuckqueaning can’t be just as varied. Humiliation, submission and degradation don’t have to be involved!” Venus is right: There are guys out there who call themselves cuckolds but aren’t subs and don’t
wanna be humiliated or degraded. But I would argue that these guys aren’t cuckolds, WTCAI, just as I would argue that you aren’t a cuckquean. We have lots of words to describe letting your partner fuck other people — open, monogamish, swinging, mate-swapping, hotwifing, hothusbanding, stag and vixen, CNM — but we only have one word to describe letting your partner fuck other people while getting off on being humiliated and degraded: cuckolding. And since most people understand cuckolding to involve humiliation and degradation, telling someone you’re a cuckold when you’re not into those things is like telling someone you’re a power bottom when you don’t like anal or telling someone you’re into impact play when you don’t like having your ass so much as tapped. It confuses rather than clarifies. What’s worse, tell someone you’re a cuckold/cuckquean and they might start degrading you while they’re fucking your partner, which would ruin everything for everybody. As for setting up a sex date for your husband with an anonymous woman, Venus has a practical suggestion. “There are a lot more men out there looking for casual sex than there are women,” says Venus, “which makes WTCAI’s fantasy difficult to pull off. But I know a woman whose wife wanted to be blindfolded and then have a group of women come in — all strangers to her — and go down on her. Not an easy fantasy to pull off either! So they hired a sex worker to facilitate things, and it was amazing. Perhaps this would be an ideal solution — hiring a sex worker — because then WTCAI would be in total control.” Finally, WTCAI, re-reading your letter just now … it sounds to me like what you really wanna do is, well, whore your husband out. It’s an expression I’ve heard gay men use to describe setting up an anonymous encounter for their boyfriends or husbands. You find someone you wanna see fuck your husband — taking care to find someone your husband would wanna get fucked by — and all your husband needs to know is when and where. Cuckolds and cuckqueans are subs and a sub can “top from below,” as the saying goes, but at least officially a cuck doesn’t have the power. Someone who’s whoring his husband out, on the other hand, has all the power. And that’s what you want, right?

Many years ago, I told him that I was attracted to a mutual friend of ours … Go to Savage.Love to read the rest of the question, and if you have a question of your own, write to Dan at questions@savagelove.net.
