Readers react. Last week, we told you about the newest addition to the protest-inflatable game, when Greenpeace brought its 15-foot tall “plastic monster” to the state capitol and a Tallahassee Publix. They plan to bring it to other locations, including Orlando, in protest of the company’s lobbying efforts to prevent plastic-bag bans, one subject of our Feb. 5 cover story, “Overruled.” Readers weighed in. @Lisa Anne Downes Publix’s net worth is almost a billion. They will be hard to beat. @Kim Allen Publix actually lobbies to ensure that a plastic ban or plastic bag restriction does not pass in FL. @Phill Amick This is why no one takes Greenpeace seriously. Drama and extortion rather than real solutions from the worst offenders in China and India. @Fernando Garay Why do we have to depend on companies going plastic free to start making a change? It starts with ourselves! You can just say no I don’t want a bag. Btw, Costco has never used plastic bags and people just adapted. @Chelsea Duke Publix has 1,200 stores and Walmart has 11,000. They just started offering reusable bags, something Publix has had for

years … maybe the plastic bag monster should visit one of those locations. @Nadia Kovalenko I use all the plastic bags – either as doggie pooper scoopers or as garbage bags. I haven’t bought garbage bags in approximately 10 years. @Amy Bushey Really? Publix is the only fucking place that encourages people not to use plastic bags and they always ask if you want paper instead. I use reusable bags and people at Publix always bag my stuff. When I take my reusable bags to Winn-Dixie they expect me to bag my stuff. @Linda Kline This weekend my Publix had a campaign with using cloth bags instead of the plastic. They have a dinosaur to help with the campaign. I hope they run into each other and have an epic fight. It would be fun to watch. By the way I reuse those plastic bags for used kitty litter and garbage bags. @Kim Dube Skodnik We’re all irresponsible. We all need to do better. Make your own voice heard.

‘Plastic monster’ trolling Florida Publix stores to highlight the retailer’s plastics problem: A group of Greenpeace activists and

citizens brought a 15-foot tall “plastic monster” to the state capitol in Tallahassee last week, to spread awareness about plastic pollution. While Florida’s favorite local grocery store, Publix, continues to maintain single-use plastic within their facilities, as well as financially support laws that prevent Florida’s cities and counties from implementing a ban on plastic bags and other single-use items, Greenpeace is traveling through the state to highlight Publix’s lack of attention to the issue.

PETA takes credit for SeaWorld ending ‘dolphin surfing’ shows: SeaWorld confirmed they will be phasing out “dolphin surfing” from

their shows entirely, and PETA, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, is taking credit. Last August, PETA filed an abuse complaint with the U.S. Department of Agriculture about the practice, and included five “damnable photos,” showing visible wounds on dolphin’s noses, which the organization attributed to dolphins lifting trainers up with their faces. But that’s not the only way PETA has influence over SeaWorld. Unbeknownst to many, PETA owns stock in SeaWorld, holding enough shares as of 2013 to have a voice in shareholder meetings.

Fifth Third Bank reverses course on voucher program to anti-LGBTQ private schools: Fifth Third Bank last week confirmed it

will resume contributions to the Florida Tax Credit Scholarship Program, after previously saying it would stop contributing over concerns about vouchers going to schools with anti-LGBTQ policies. The bank said it would support the program again following a “comprehensive review” and “detailed conversations” with the management of the organization that administers the program. The bank’s initial decision to end contributions came after an investigation found more than 83 religious schools that accepted vouchers for low-income students had policies explicitly barring gay students from enrolling. More than $105 million from the program, which is funded by corporations that receive state tax credits in exchange for their contributions, went to campuses with anti-LGBTQ policies last year, the report found.

Hey, Florida: Feb. 18 is the deadline to register to vote, or change parties, before the primaries: If it’s worth arguing about

on social media, it’s worth voting for. Don’t just be a slacktivist. The Presidential Preference Primary Election is March 17, and the deadline to register or change your party affiliation is Tuesday, Feb. 18. Since Florida has a closed primary, voters will only be able to nominate representatives who are affiliated with their party. In other words, voters without a party affiliation are not able to vote for candidates who identify with a political party, such as Republican or Democratic candidates. To register, you must be a Florida resident who is at least 18 years old and a U.S. citizen with intact civil rights.

Expect ticket price increases at Disney World, along with a possible overhaul of FastPass+: As with death and taxes, increases in

ticket prices at Disney World are inevitable. If past trends tell us anything, Disney will be increasing their ticket prices again sometime within the next few weeks, but this year the change might point to something bigger. According to some insiders, most notably Martin Smith on the WDWMagic forums, after years of trying to work out the kinks with FastPass+, there is now an understanding that unforeseen flaws with the program and its corresponding app may never be adequately addressed. This has apparently led some within the company to advocate for cutting its losses and moving forward without the current system. orlandoweekly.com

A WHOOP AND HOLLER No need to shut down dissenting voices when you can simply use social media to drown them out BY JE FFREY C. BILL M A N

decade after World War II, the journalist Milton Mayer – an American of Jewish and German lineage – set out to determine how an educated, Western people gave themselves over to fascism. The German people, Mayer reckoned, hadn’t woken up one day and decided to be evil, nor was there anything qualitatively different about their culture that made them more susceptible to a dictator’s seduction; given the right set of circumstances, it could happen anywhere. Mayer spent a year exploring Germany’s Nazi era through interviews with 10 ordinary members of the party – some who were dedicated to the cause, others who were in it for a job or because of social pressure. He found that Hitler had given a dispirited nation a sense of empowerment and enemies to blame for its ills. The Nazis’ propaganda machine also habituated Germany’s citizens to a constant state of anxiety that required trust in the state, the party and their leader. “Now I see a little better how Nazism overcame Germany – not by attack from without or by subversion from within, but with a whoop and holler,” Mayer wrote in They Thought They Were Free, first published in 1955. “It was what most Germans wanted – or, under pressure of combined illusion and reality, came to want. They wanted it; they got it; and they liked it.” That passage has always stuck with me. Authoritarianism doesn’t succeed when it’s foisted on people. It succeeds when it convinces people that they need it – indeed, that they want it – and fosters a sense of aggrievement, a sense that Others are to blame for their problems. I thought about Mayer’s book last Thursday morning when Donald Trump’s press secretary went on Fox News and suggested “people should pay” for impeaching the president, and again that afternoon when I watched an acquitted Trump air a long list of grievances in the East Room of the White House – calling Democrats and FBI officials “scum” and “very sick and evil people” – while a throng of his die-hard supporters whooped and hollered. I thought about it once more on Friday, when Trump sacked Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman (and his twin brother) and

Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland, who had testified in the House impeachment inquiry about Trump’s quid pro quo with Ukraine. And I thought about it on Sunday, when Sen. Lindsey Graham said that Rudy Giuliani’s anti-Biden “research” had a direct pipeline to Attorney General William Barr. I thought about it not because Trump is like Hitler or Republicans are like Nazis. Those are facile comparisons. The U.S. isn’t a fascist state, and the president hasn’t shown genocidal or dictatorial tendencies (though he has a peculiar affection for strongmen).

I thought about it because the transition from freedom to illiberalism isn’t a binary point but rather a continuum, and the slow creep often goes unnoticed. I thought about it because none of Trump’s actions would have been tolerated even a few years ago, yet none of them provoked meaningful pushback from the president’s party. Neither have Trump’s previous abuses of power, for that matter: trying to spike an AT&T–Time-Warner merger because he hates CNN; launching an antitrust investigation into car companies that didn’t do as he demanded; ordering the Pentagon to lock Amazon out of a lucrative contract because of the Washington Post’s coverage, among them. It’s noise baked into our political system. When everything is an outrage, nothing is. Acquitting the president despite overwhelming evidence that he tried to extort foreign interference in an election was a flashing neon sign that the guardrails are gone, and not only will Republicans not stop the president, but they’ll cheer him on. The base will tolerate nothing less than total fealty. To borrow from Mayer, the president’s supporters, under pressure of combined illusion and reality, wanted it, got it and like it. It’s not just Fox News and Breitbart feeding them propaganda. It’s also the

Trump campaign itself creating a sort of alternate reality, one in which workingclass, gun-owning conservative Christians are being overrun by liberals and socialists and undocumented immigrants, and Trump is their defender. The March issue of The Atlantic has an eye-opening piece on the ramp-up of a billion-dollar disinformation machine, something Trump operatives aren’t even bothering to hide at this point. It’s an expansion of the same kind of dirty pool that aided Trump’s election four years ago, not to mention Brexit and the victory of Rodrigo Duterte in the Philippines. In essence, it rips a page from the authoritarian playbook and adds a modern twist: It’s not necessary to shut down dissenting voices when you can use social media to drown them out – and, in the process, destroy the independent journalistic institutions that try to hold you accountable. “It’s a lesson drawn from demagogues around the world,” McKay Coppins writes. “When the press as an institution is weakened, fact-based journalism becomes just one more drop in the daily deluge of content – no more or less credible than partisan propaganda. Relativism is the real goal of Trump’s assault on the press.” Above all else, authoritarianism – and its handmaiden, right-wing populism – is rooted in a need for order and security, things we all crave on some level, and crave more when we perceive chaos. Demagogues exacerbate the perception of chaos and nurse our sense of aggrievement – and then tell their followers that only they can fix it. Post-impeachment, Trump has taken a brazen step in this direction: settling scores, purging the disloyal, threatening rivals, labeling opponents as “evil,” and preparing to eviscerate the media and saturate voters’ feeds with bullshit. He’ll see a victory in November as the ultimate vindication – as the American people whooping and hollering just like Republican leaders were in the East Room last week, as a sign that he should do as he pleases, norms be damned. Republicans won’t stop him. Neither will our institutions. Only voters can. feedback@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

SOMEBODY’S WATCHING ME

Local police departments remain confident in Ring partnership as camera security company suffers slate of data leak incidents BY SOLOMON GUSTAVO

y selling customers on the idea of increased safety through video surveillance, Ring has grown into one of America’s largest security companies. There is little hard evidence that doorbell and house security cameras deter crime, and the company has had a string of privacy and network security issues, yet Ring, which Amazon bought for $1 billion, and its app called Neighbors, in which users post videos and report things they see, continues to spread its reach across Central Florida. In mid-2018, Ring took what’s essentially a ready-made network of street-facing cameras and began forming partnerships with law enforcement agencies all over the country. In October, Ring had over 400 such partnerships. As of January, the company has at least 770. Users can deny police requests, and the police need their consent to access video – but not a warrant. Ring has made it clear it will hand over footage if ordered to by a court or somehow otherwise legally obligated. Civil liberties advocates like the ACLU and Human Rights Watch have spoken up, unsettled by the potential that the nonstop streaming video and hyper-vigilant chatroom might turn neighbors into snitches. Police already have known issues with excessive responses to neighbors’ tips; law enforcement access to a patchwork of cameras pointed at people’s front yards and into the street sounds like a privacy nightmare. Decades ago, the police had to get a warrant to take a videotape from someone’s security system. Now, that video is on the Amazon cloud. People who buy into the “internet of things,” like phones and security cameras and virtual assistants that are connected to the internet, “have to worry about three things,” says Jay Stanley, a senior policy analyst from the ACLU’s D.C. office and editor of their Free Future Blog. “Hackers; whether devices will be exposed to hackers; and law enforcement getting access. And I think all three things are on display with Ring.” Central Florida law enforcement agencies teaming up with Ring include the Orlando Police Department, Winter Park Police Department, Ocoee Police Department, Davenport Police Department and the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office.

As Ring partnership numbers continue to climb, the company has suffered a string of data leak incidents. In November, a network vulnerability issue (which was later resolved) allowed nearby hackers access to Ring users’ WiFi credentials, which left them open to a larger attack. In December, podcasters hacked into a family’s Ring system and documented the entire thing on a livestream; and a data leak released the personal information of over 3,000 users. The latest incident comes this month. An investigation by the San Francisco-based nonprofit tech watchdog group Electronic Frontier Foundation finds that the Ring app is packed with third-party data trackers, and that some of them have access to personal user info like full names and email addresses. Ring provides users a privacy notice with a list of third-party trackers on the app. The company says the four tracking companies – Mixpanel, HotJar, Optimizely and Google Analytics – help evaluate the use of the website and app. In a statement, a Ring spokesperson says, “Ring ensures that service providers’ use of the data provided is contractually limited to appropriate purposes such as performing these services on our behalf and not for other purposes.” Ring says it’s still investigating the camera hacks from the end of last year but maintains that the security issue was not “related to a breach or compromise of Ring’s system or network.” “It is not uncommon for bad actors to harvest data from other company’s data breaches and create lists so that other bad actors can attempt to gain access to other services,” reads the statement. But EFF senior staff technologist Bill Budington says he also found Ring sending user data directly to other analytics and marketing companies, like Facebook, Branch and AppsFlyer. Info sent to the companies includes what time zone a user is in, the device model they’re using, and sensor info from their device. Mixpanel is listed as one of Ring’s third-party trackers, notes Budington, but the amount of info Ring gives Mixpanel is not disclosed. It’s also the company that EFF found to have access to most information, including names and email addresses. The apparent deceit, Budington tells Orlando Weekly,

means Ring is “not following best practices.” Stanley notes that technology is in an era in which it’s much easier to make an attack than stop one – it’s easier to be a hacker than to stop a hacker – especially for large companies with huge networks like Ring. He says that, ultimately, individual people are making the decision to have Ring cameras and agree to sharing video and info with police. “I would say that anybody considering to buy a camera should think hard whether you really want a camera, if it’s something that might end up getting flipped on its head against you,” Stanley says. He adds that there are security systems that aren’t connected to the internet, and that security camera consumers should be especially deliberate “when those cameras are so tightly woven into police networks.” Police in Orlando and Winter Park both tell OW that they have had no problems with their Ring partnerships. In fact, shortly after teaming up with the security company last year, both departments report the partnership helped close a few cases. As for the recent data leak issues, Orlando public information officer Sgt. David Baker says the department doesn’t share any information with Ring and that the company doesn’t have any access to police servers. “Nothing that happened on a Ring computer would affect our computers or data,” Baker said in an email. Winter Park Police Chief Michael Deal, whose department participated in a promotional video with Ring about law enforcement partnerships, says he has “no concerns” about the Ring deal going forward.

People we love Our annual list of people making Orlando a better place includes those who bring delight to our eyes and ears, safety to our streets and respect to our city. BY SOLOMON GUSTAVO, SETH KUBERSKY, THADDEUS MCCOLLUM, MATTHEW MOYER, DAVE PLOTKIN AND JESSICA BRYCE YOUNG

VAL DEMINGS

UNITED STATES REPRESENTATIVE, FLORIDA’S 10TH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT

h, brother (and sister), this era of Trump has been noisy. Distinguishing truth from lies among the seemingly infinite talking heads has felt impossible. Then, suddenly, out of the grandstanding monotony of the impeachment debates, a surprise orator arose with a singular, strong voice – a voice from Orlando – and made it possible. “I’ve enforced the laws and now I write the laws,” said Congresswoman Val Demings. “But the laws mean nothing if the accused can destroy evidence, stop witnesses from testifying and blatantly refuse to cooperate.” With an astounding authority, she sliced through the boredom and the bullshit. Themis, the Greek goddess we call Justice, she stands blindfolded holding the scales. And she holds a sword in the other hand. Valdez Venita Demings, a Black woman who grew up in Jim Crow-era Jacksonville, subsisting on a faith in the American experiment she inherited from her parents, is also a former police offi-

cer and the former Orlando Police Chief. A Black woman ascending to the seat of federal lawmaking power is that American dream achieved. Our Rep. Demings proved a powerful voice amongst impeachment noise – among the seven impeachment managers, she came to represent the spirit of American ethics and justice. Demings said she very much felt the weight, particularly when she made the walk to the Senate to hand over articles of impeachment. “The reality of that moment, the weight of the moment, was just overbearing,” she says. Once she arrived, she became the fourth Black woman to speak on the Senate floor. “Fifty years from now, history will look at this moment.” She’s been incredibly visible, pushing her impeachment team’s argument as the face of the group on national news programs. After Trump was impeached in the House but acquitted in the Senate, it wasn’t Adam Schiff or Hakeem Jeffries, but primarily Demings who was the voice of disappointment in the breakdown of the process.

Aside from justice, she also loves Orlando: “As someone who grew up poor, Black and female in the South, Orlando is such a warm, loving, accepting and tolerant community.” Her one City Beautiful bugbear: transportation infrastructure. “Instead of spending time in Orlando’s restaurants, stores and theme parks, they’re stuck on I-4,” she bemoans. What’s next for Demings has been a hot question. Her name has already bounced around as possible Vice Presidential material for the ultimate Democratic nominee. “I just worked on the impeachment,” Demings says with a laugh. “Am I not working hard enough for you?” Throughout the impeachment, she has continued work on the House Intelligence Committee. She says she’s going to keep fighting for the poor, overworked and discriminated against, and bring that fight wherever it takes her. “Wherever it takes me, I’m ready,” Demings says. “I don’t know where that takes me, but I’m ready.”

BENOIT GLAZER

FOUNDER, TIMUCUA ARTS FOUNDATION

hen we say the phrase “house show,” a stereotypical set of images might come to mind: unpredictable sound system, cramped conditions, weird bathroom situation, free-and-easy approach to set times. The Timucua Arts Foundation house explodes all of these conventions. And you have jackof-all-trades musician, designer and organizer Benoit Glazer and his family to thank for that. Seeing a concert at the Timucua is a unique experience, and one with brainbreaking contrasts: In the cramped entry room, you find a potluck spread of free food and drink. But that leads into a purpose-built 100-seat concert hall with a vaulted wooden ceiling, several levels of viewing and impeccable acoustics. Hometown favorites perform some nights, as do legends like Zeena Parkins, Hans-Joachim Roedelius and taciturn free-jazz icon Peter Brötzmann – “He smiled at the show!” exults Glazer – and the whole operation is so tightly run, it’s a shock to remember, or realize, that you’re in somebody’s actual home. It all started from a simple urge: a desire to see some live music. Glazer had moved his young family to Orlando from Montreal in 1998 to take a job with Cirque du Soleil, and his schedule was so demanding that he couldn’t get out to go to shows. So he and his wife, cofounder Elaine Corriveau, decided to take matters into their own hands, and

began hosting concerts at their home in the Hunter’s Creek neighborhood. As these things often do, it snowballed, culminating in the Glazers buying property on the very end of Summerlin Avenue near downtown (“closer to the action,” says Glazer) and putting their life savings toward construction of a house centered around a performance space designed and built by Glazer that would be a haven for music and visual arts. They built it and, to paraphrase Field of Dreams, performers and music enthusiasts in Orlando and far beyond came. Glazer calls Timucua a home for the “chamber arts,” which is, he explains, “music that’s meant to be played in a more intimate environment.” The space hosts around 100 events a year, and live-streams most of them for those who can’t be there in person. During shows, Glazer can usually be found in the adjoining recording studio and control room, monitoring the feeds from several cameras. “I think what sets us apart from some other venues is the wide range of what we offer – opera, plays, poetry, visual arts, every kind of music imaginable. This is what the people deserve,” says Glazer. “We create an intimate environment to take in the art and the music.” Glazer now works full-time for the nonprofit Timucua Arts Foundation and its advisory board, and they’re get-

ting their money’s worth. To hear him enthuse about design details, lighting, camera and speaker improvements, even the hunt to find the perfect vibraphone to buy for the venue backline, you begin to get an idea of how herculean this undertaking was and still is. But Glazer is just getting started. “A lot of people think that this place is perfect, but I know it’s not because I built it,” he says matter-of-factly. His plans for the future are ambitious. Glazer speaks excitedly about trying to build a viable touring circuit for musicians through the South in partnership with like-minded venues, building a permanent gallery space onto the house, doing a massive upgrade to the speakers and microphones in the concert space, and, eventually, launching the so-called “Benoit’s Ark,” a solar-powered floating concert hall. “The day I stop wanting to improve,” says Glazer amiably, “is the day I die.” Then he’s off to change some light switches, meet with an artist, and set up and tune the instruments for a show the next day. ● FEB. ● MARCH orlandoweekly.com 12-18,2019 2020● ORLANDO WEEKLY orlandoweekly.com 20-26,

ALAUNA FRISKICS

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, THE ORLANDO FRINGE

rlando is overflowing with talented performers who long to shine on stage. But in order for them to stand in the spotlight, there has to be someone backstage like Orlando Fringe Festival executive director Alauna Friskics, who has made it her lifelong mission to make sure those artists get the opportunity to be seen. “I knew from a pretty early age that I wanted to run my own theater someday,” she says, “and use my left brain/right brain to help artists create their art easier.” Ironically, the event that Friskics now leads is the one that originally brought her to town from the Midwest in the late 1990s. Family members who lived in the area and volunteered for Fringe invited her to visit during spring break of her senior year, and Friskics says she “fell completely in love with it immediately,” volunteering “from sunup to sundown.” She moved to Central Florida after graduation, and she’s been an active member of our performing arts community ever since.

Before succeeding George Wallace as the Fringe executive director in 2017, Friskics came to prominence as the founding executive director (and first employee) of the Garden Theatre, whose 2008 rebirth helped drive Winter Garden’s decade-long resurgence. “I was welcomed with open arms into that community,” she recalls of her dozen years there, “and being able to create something that they were falling in love with, by helping to rebuild and restore the theater, was just a dream come true.” Although she’s appeared in shows herself, her heart lies in supporting others’ creative efforts. She cherishes her ability to help cultivate artists and producers in their early careers, pointing out how many now-familiar local artists have “cut their teeth [and] begun their theatrical careers here at Fringe.” Although her work with Fringe and taking her daughter on hikes and to birthday parties keeps her too busy to spend much time out and about (other than trips to Kabooki Sushi, her favorite) she loves the energy of the city. “Orlando is made up of some really cool people doing innovative and collaborative things, and it’s fun to be a part of projects that build community.”

SHANNON FITZGERALD

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, MENNELLO MUSEUM OF AMERICAN ART

ay back in 2016 when we first spoke to Shannon Fitzgerald – about a show of Pop Art prints on loan from the Smithsonian at the Mennello – she said, “We need to connect what’s going on in here with the outside world.” Fitzgerald was talking about associated programming, the kind of thing every modern museum director knows is a necessity. But it’s a significant indicator of the changes she had in mind for the Mennello Museum of American Art, changes that she has executed briskly and efficiently. In her four years at the helm of the Mennello, she’s expanded the institution’s understanding of “American art,” opening things up from the sleepy, folk art-centric space it once was into a tiny-but-mighty bastion of contemporary American art by the likes of Jiha Moon, Bo Bartlett, William Eggleston and Firelei Báez. And the expansion isn’t just artistic – the museum recently announced plans for a 40,000-square-foot expansion, a transformation that will cause ripples beyond its verdant campus through the Loch Haven cultural complex and out into the wider city.

Fitzgerald came to Orlando a seasoned curator, having served as executive director of the Rochester Art Center in Minnesota and chief curator at St. Louis’ Contemporary Art Museum. We’ve long beat the drum for more risk-taking in our city- and county-funded arts initiatives, along with a less parochial approach. Fitzgerald’s big-tent methodology is a perfect fit for a city like Orlando, a city that knows it loves art but still needs a guiding vision to form its taste. In Rochester, St. Louis, Oklahoma City, Milwaukee and Columbus, Georgia, she calls herself lucky to have seen students “transform their perspective through the power of education and heightened awareness.” A couple of years ago, when the state slashed arts funding, she said to us, “We’re producing culture for our culture. So if you take that away, I think we’re just less evolved.” We couldn’t agree more. And as she also serves as the city’s director of public art, we are hoping for big (literally and figuratively) things in the future from Fitzgerald.

ORLANDO WEEKLY

PAUL WEAN AND JOAN REINES FOUNDERS, PAWSITIVE SHELTER PHOTOGRAPHY

ven if you haven’t heard the name Pawsitive Shelter Photography before, you’re probably familiar with their work. Just check our weekly “Gimme Shelter” column in the back of almost any issue of Orlando Weekly. The brainchild of Paul Wean and Joan Reines, Pawsitive Shelter Photography provides free portrait photos of cats and dogs currently up for adoption at Orange County Animal Services, presenting the animals in their best light for the most important photo of their lives. The project began in 2011 after Wean and Reines saw a segment on CBS Sunday Morning about Teresa Berg, a portrait photographer who was having success photographing small rescue dogs in her studio. Though Wean was a novice at digital photography, he assured Reines that they could have similar success with the animals at OCAS. With Pawsitive Shelter Photography, homeless animals get the luxe treatment. Pro lighting and seamless backdrops surround the animals, rather than the impersonal snapshot of a downcast dog or a fearful cat on a vet’s table or worse, cowering in a cage. Fluffy boas, feathers, neckties and bandannas help bring out each animal’s personality so that they

can make the best possible first impression on those looking to adopt. Wean says that, at first, he was not very keen on the whole costume thing. “I thought they were an affectation and an attempt to further anthropomorphize the animals,” he says. “I have since changed my mind and recognize that some of the props make the animals more appealing to adopters, help frightened dogs look less frightened, and also help us distinguish between similar-looking dogs and cats.” He still leaves the dressing-up to the more “fashion conscious” volunteers. Since its inception, Pawsitive Shelter Photography has photographed more than 23,000 animals, and the results speak for themselves. In 2011, more than 2,050 animals were euthanized due to time limitation – meaning the animals spent too long at the shelter and had to be put down because of space constraints. In 2019, that number had fallen to zero. In fact, the live release rate for all dogs taken in by OCAS in 2019 was 94 percent, and for cats it was 74 percent. Wean and Reines have three dogs of their own, Ziggy, Zoey and Bella. All three are rescues.

BILLY HATTAWAY

TRANSPORTATION DIRECTOR, CITY OF ORLANDO

“T

he carnage,” says Billy Hattaway. That’s it. That’s the reason he’s committed his career to make streets safer for pedestrians and cyclists in greater Orlando and throughout Florida. In the 1970s, 45,000 people died on U.S. roads per year. More recently, the Orlando metro has steadily ranked as the deadliest place for pedestrians in the country. Between 2008 and 2017, over 600 pedestrians died in the Orlando area. Clearly, there was a long way to go to stop the carnage. Hattaway, an Orlando-area native who spent some time in Boston before returning to the Sunshine State, was working at the Florida Department of Transportation as an engineer when, in 1996, he went on a tour of 13 cities in 10 days along the West Coast. He saw traffic plans of types that were not at all considered, let alone built, in Florida. “That trip was responsible for my conversion experience,” Hattaway says. One such approach was the roundabout, a road plan popularized in Europe. “Roundabouts have a 90 percent reduction in death collisions,” Hattaway says. But, in the

mid-’90s, Florida wasn’t ready. “At that point, the data was only coming from Europe,” said Hattaway. “People thought, ‘we’re different.’” Which is to say, we don’t do that Euro stuff. When Hattaway presented such alternatives to state and city officials, he saw very little support. So he moved on, leaving the FDOT for the private sector. In 2011, the political winds shifted, and the state agency asked him to return. His Alert Today, Alive Tomorrow initiative, which focuses on engineering, education and enforcement of safer policies, is still ongoing at the agency, one that’s staffed with people who, Hattaway emphasizes, do the work that made his safe-street theories a reality. Aware of his work – and the Orlando-area death toll – Mayor Buddy Dyer, in 2016, called on Hattaway to join city staff as the City Beautiful’s first transportation director since 2008. He’s spent the first year or so rebuilding the transportation department. With his team assembled, Hattaway and crew are readying to present a master plan for street safety for the city. We are optimistic that the day when we can stroll these streets without fear is coming. orlandoweekly.com

SANDY BITMAN OWNER, PARK AVE CDS

f you pop in to Park Ave CDs, the sprawling record emporium in the heart of Audubon Park, to search through the endless miles of vinyl aisles, you might not spot longtime owner Sandy Bitman. And yet, his ethos and dedication and, yes, love of music defines every inch of the store. Park Ave CDs is a triumphant anomaly in the imploding music retail business: The hours are longer, the inventory is bigger and the events calendar is more robust than ever. “We’re definitely not shrinking,” chuckles Bitman. The success of Park Ave CDs is down to a willingness to evolve and adapt as the times change. And Bitman, who has been working at Park Ave CDs since 1994, has seen his share of change in the music business, from the alternative music boom to the potential death knell that was Napster and digital file-sharing and on through today’s much-heralded vinyl revival. Bitman’s tenure at Park Ave CDs dates back to the early 1990s, when he was a Rollins College student regularly visiting the shop’s location on tony South Park Avenue in Winter Park. He was finally offered a weekend fill-in slot behind the register by (small world alert) Brett Bennett – now the owner of Audubon Park neighbor Stardust Video & Coffee.

For Bitman, this was the dream, and he slowly worked his way up to manager of the store by 1997, before buying the whole operation from the previous owners in 1998. Park Ave CDs left Winter Park in 2004 and settled in their current location on Corrine Drive soon after. “Part of it was, obviously, getting a bigger space here for half what we were paying on Park Avenue. And this was one of the areas in town that I thought the store could thrive in and thought that it could help rejuvenate the area,” Bitman says. Since then, the bustling Audubon Park neighborhood has sprung to vibrant life all around them. The bigger location was soon stuffed to the gills with records, CDs, books, cassettes, shirts and various pop-culture ephemera. The maximal inventory policy is a priority, with the classic canon and obscure gems getting equal space. Bitman and the staff at Park Ave CDs are focusing in on events, in-stores, performances, readings, listening parties and community days that give sales proceeds to local nonprofits. “There are very few commerce institutions that can mix social and commerce well. I think a good coffeehouse, a good bar, a good bookstore can,” says Bitman. “A good record store is also one of those places where people can be social and hang out and feel part of the fabric of the neighborhood and the scene.”

GREG GOLDEN

DIRECTOR OF STUDENT MEDIA, ROLLINS COLLEGE

f you think running a radio station sounds difficult, or teaching hundreds of college students, Greg Golden is a man who has successfully done both at Rollins College. His soft-spoken leadership and seemingly infinite patience have helped guide eight classes of young adults through their first management and broadcasting experiences. That’s not the only reason we love him. WPRK 91.5 FM has broadcast from Rollins College since 1952, becoming fully student-run between 1989 and 1991, and eventually airing 24 hours a day. The station’s general manager ensures everything is legally compliant and serves as a teacher and supervisor to a team of student managers who control the station’s on-air content, underwriting and promotions. Golden’s responsibilities as director of student media also include the school’s newspaper and literary magazine, The Sandspur and Brushing. For decades, “the Best in Basement Radio” was indeed headquartered in the subterranean lowest floor of Mills Memorial Hall on campus. Then, in September of 2017, Hurricane Irma swept through the school’s scenic grounds, damaging the station’s antenna beyond repair. For 11 months, WPRK could only be heard online, a dispiriting time for students used to the addictive relevance of sizable audiences and listeners who call the studio line. Finally, in August 2018, WPRK was back on the FM airwaves, but the turbulent times were not over. WPRK’s studios and offices also needed

to relocate – three times – while the Mills building was demolished and replaced by a brand-new building, Kathleen W. Rollins Hall. Having been a student DJ himself in the Rollins class of 2011, Golden could relate to his students’ feelings of loss and frustration. He set their focus on the years ahead, helping students develop new podcasts, community collaborations and a membership program similar to those of public radio stations. He also kept students involved in the design decisions for the station’s new home. In January, the station’s new permanent location finally opened, on the first floor, just a few feet underground. Considering the time and attention the college has devoted to WPRK during Golden’s tenure, it’s hard to believe the station was almost sold by the college 20 years ago, with only one missing signature by then-president Rita Bornstein saving it for generations of future students and listeners. At only 32 years old, Greg Golden has already created his legacy at Rollins through the success stories of his students. But his most lasting contribution to the college and community might be in keeping the faith, and excitement, alive during one of WPRK’s toughest decades. orlandoweekly.com

DEATH AND TAXIDERMY

Kristen Arnett’s scalpel-sharp dissection of grief and queerness kicks off Winter With the Writers BY R E B E CC A R E N N E R

rlando’s own Kristen Arnett, New York Times best-selling novelist and Orlando Weekly’s “Best We Told You So” success of 2019, is heading up Rollins College’s 2020 Winter With the Writers slate. After the rapturous critical reception for her first book, a collection of stories called Felt in the Jaw, Arnett’s 2019 debut novel exploded onto the summer reading scene, finding its way onto “best books” lists from the New Yorker to Entertainment Weekly. Mostly Dead Things tackles a story of growing up gay and closeted in Central Florida, pairing ruminations on grief, friendship and family with lush descriptions of familiar locales that would make Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings swoon. Much of Arnett’s writing centers queerness, a focus based on her own experience as a young lesbian woman. As a teenager in the ’90s, Arnett was in denial about her sexuality, even though she had a secret girlfriend. Her evangelical family and their close friends based most of their social time around religion, so Arnett didn’t feel they would understand her struggle. It would be years until she would come out of the closet. She remembers wishing Orlando had more of a place for her then, and she hopes we will continue creating spaces for young queer folks. Likewise, Mostly Dead Things follows taxidermist A third-generation Floridian, Arnett grew up Jessa-Lynn Morton as she struggles to cope with being left by the woman she loves.

DALI’S LAO THAI CAFE 1181 Rinehart Road, Sanford 321-363-3728 dalislaothaicafe.com $$

THE LAO OF EATING The city’s best Laotian dishes can be found in a Sanford strip mall BY FAIYAZ KARA

’d been itching to drive out to Dali’s in Sanford ever since they posted a pic of their khao poon – the Laotian coconut curried soup of rice noodles and shredded chicken – on Instagram. So I texted my baller friend, who’s also Laotian, and made the journey to Sanford in his Brabus Mercedes G63 AMG, the sounds of Yella Beezy and Gucci Mane boom-bapping the chests of startled passers-by in the restaurant’s parking lot off Rinehart Road. Dali’s opened 20 minutes before we pulled up like gangstas and every table, all six of them, was already taken. We took off our sunglasses and let out a synchronized Damn! Behind the counter, owner Darivone “Dar” Manikhong scurried about organizing plates and running them out to eager patrons. Behind her, in the sizable kitchen, were Dar’s husband, Khanthi, and her 74-year-old father, La, prepping and cooking the recipes of Dar’s mom, Damdy, the undeniable 67-year-old #bosslady of this operation. Her benevolent leadership and

exacting approach to cooking has lent Dali’s its much-warranted hype. Proof of Damdy’s dedication: She once drove two hours to the Gulf Coast just to procure orange Thai peppers. Respect. Further proof: She helped open Thai Cuisine on Edgewater Drive back in 1993, and she volunteers to cook for the Buddhist monks at the Lao temple in Sanford. Her reputation precedes her. She’s a consigliere to Laotian and Thai restaurateurs in the city. They all know her, and many have sought her advice. But her husband’s no pushover – La’s the one responsible for soup broths, marinades and chili pastes. It was his jaew bong that Sticky Rice used after opening in Colonialtown, and it was that pungent chili paste that ignited a four-alarm blaze in our traps at Dali’s that no amount of lemongrass-scented sausage ($12.95), airdried beef jerky ($12.95) or sticky rice could smother. Less fiery and more funky was the papaya salad ($8.95) we ordered in the Lao

(not the sweeter Thai) style with its fish sauce, fermented anchovy paste and wee bits of Thai eggplant. “This is legit,” said my Lao pal. “It’s like I’m eating at my mom’s house.” But before hopping back into his G-wagon and cranking Future’s “Life Is Good (feat. Drake),” he had his mind set on one more dish – lad na ($12.95). Popularized by the Chinese living in Laos, Dali’s version deserves superlatives not for the flat, chewy rice noodles, plump shrimp or gorgeously scored and curled squid, but for the gravy, which Dar says her mother makes using “oyster sauce and magic.” Lad na translates to “pour on the face” and while we stopped short of doing just that, my Laotian comrade did concede it was the best lad na he’s had. Ever. No small words from a man who’s traveled the world and knows his way around a kitchen, and then some. When the laab ($12.95) arrived, it was declared the best in all Orlando, and I have to say the claim was justified. The plate of room-temperature minced beef soaked in lime juice and blended with scallions, cilantro and mint is a dish worthy of being eaten many times over. Oh, and those orange Thai hots made an appearance too, along with more sticky rice. Now, should you opt for familiarity – say, in the perfectly balanced pad thai ($12.95), for example – just know that it, too, may transcend any versions you previously held in high regard. The bounce in the pad thai’s noodles was as laudable as the ratio of sour to sweet. And the dish that spawned this trip – khao poon ($11.95) – was just, well, wow. I had to finish it over a span of a couple of days, but the milky broth was every bit as resplendent at home as it was at the restaurant. Music muted, we spoke of our experience at Dali’s on the long drive back; of how the restaurant’s name is a reference to Darivone (the “r” is pronounced as an “l” in Laotian); of how Dar and her family were just the sweetest people; and of the food, the incredible food. And those thoughts lingered. Dali’s persistence of memory? Let me tell you, it’s no dream.

IT’S A SHORT WORLD AFTER ALL

Love Your Shorts brings international films to Sanford BY CAMERON MEIE R

urning 10 years old this year, Sanford’s Love Your Shorts Film Festival has always been a local favorite thanks to its commitment to Orlando filmmakers. But with a new emphasis on international selections, the event is drawing increased interest from around the globe. Turns out it’s a short world after all. “We have long had strong international submissions,” says Brian Casey, screening and programming director. “What changed this year is … we noticed that we had so many great international submissions, and we have talked about a block for foreign films for several years. [So] we felt it was time to take the step and do it this year because when we grouped some of the international films together … it freed up space in other blocks to show more films in general.” Indeed, the festival, which is scheduled for Feb. 13-16 at the Wayne Densch Performing Arts Center, will screen more films than ever – 81 total. As usual, all movies are less than 30 minutes and are divided into genre blocks. With the addition of the

international program on Saturday at 5 p.m. (a time filled in past years by a discussion panel), the festival now contains 10 blocks. (International films are not confined to the international block.) To kick things off, organizers hold a free “education day” on Thursday, Feb. 13, with a discussion panel and films by UCF students. The festival then gets underway in earnest on Friday evening with a block of films from all genres. It continues on Saturday with E for Everyone, animation, documentary, international, comedy and sci-fi/horror, and concludes on Sunday with drama, Florida Flavor and Best of the Fest, which compiles the audience winners from the previous blocks. A panel of judges then picks the overall winner. France’s Sabine Crossen and England’s Andrew Margetson both hope to hop the Atlantic Ocean for Florida. Margetson’s movie will screen in the international block, while Crossen’s will play the drama program. “I hope to meet fellow filmmakers, exchange with film buffs and make myself

available to the public to talk about my short film, Resurrection … and film in general. I would love to visit local places and, well, if the film is well received, why not bring back an award from Sanford to Paris?” Crossen jokes. “I first heard about Love Your Shorts from the Film Freeway website,” Margetson says. “My film, Housekeeping, had just shown at Naples (Florida) International Film Festival, where I’d had a great experience. … If I come [to Sanford], I will use the opportunity to meet as many other filmmakers and industry people as possible, plus see a load of shorts. If I have any spare time, I’ll look into trying to do some fishing!” Other filmmakers will also be fishing – for feedback. Moviemakers from around the world often submit to the festival to receive both compliments and constructive criticism from Sanford audiences, which often differ from those in the filmmakers’ own countries. Those nations include Australia, Canada, China, Czech Republic, England, Finland, France, Italy, Japan, Moldova, the Netherlands and New Zealand. Despite the international attention, the festival’s success is due mostly to its local connections. “None of this could have happened without the involvement of the Sanford community: our sponsors, volunteers, partners and friends of the festival, who have supported this event from the beginning,” says festival co-founder Gene Kruckemyer. “The right people have become involved at the right time along the way.” Perhaps Australia’s Henry Boffin, director of Lavender, says it best. “The vibe I got from the festival was that the coordinators truly believe in making a showcase of films that the community will respond to and they wish to celebrate those who pour their all into the often thankless task of filmmaking,” Boffin says. “I can tell that Love Your Shorts does exactly what it says in the name.” feedback@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

Sonic the Hedgehog PHOTO COURTESY PARAMOUNT PICTURES AND SEGA OF AMERICA

BY STEVE SCHNEIDER

OPENING THIS WEEK: Downhill Valentine’s Day is a great time to find out what movie studios think of the American romantic mindset. For example, some mucketymuck at Searchlight Pictures apparently said, “You know what couples would really like to see this year? A remake of a Swedish black comedy about selfishness and betrayal.” The black comedy in question would be 2014’s Force Majeure, and the stateside remake stars Julia Louis-Dreyfus as a woman who has to rethink her marriage after her husband (Will Ferrell) prioritizes saving his own skin during a life-threatening avalanche. Advance buzz on the flick is that it’s just as half-assed as the average American redo of an international hit. But co-directors Nat Faxon and Jim Rash were previously responsible for the delightful The Way Way Back, so I’m holding out hope. See, I can still experience hope. Because I’m not married. (R) Fantasy Island The Blumhouse dream of releasing a Get Out or Us that will actually play in Charlottesville gets closer to reality with Fantasy Island, a darker (just not in that way) remake of the 1970s television series. This time, visitors to the island discover the downside to having your dead child resurrected and getting to brutally torture your high school tormentor. (Don’t see how that last one could have negatives, honestly.) One important change in the new version: It isn’t rich people but contest winners who get to have their most fervent wishes brought to life. Apparently, Blumhouse thinks there isn’t enough appetite nowadays for

seeing the 1 percent get their comeuppance, and that our societal schadenfreude is more focused on whoever hits the Powerball. What scares me is that they might be right. (PG-13) First Lady The most lackadaisically promoted of this week’s releases, maybe because its trailer is utterly incomprehensible. Purportedly, the movie is a comedy about the widow of a U.S. president who has to groom his vice president for the office while blocking a challenger whose wife strikes her as trash. But the tagline is “Can a woman not married to the president run for first lady?” So … yeah, I’ve got nothing. And apparently, there’s a former suitor hanging around who used to be a king but is now in disguise or something. I’m hoping for a big reveal that the would-be first lady is a former Eastern European sex worker. But maybe the moviegoing public isn’t ready for that kind of gritty realism. (NR; opens Friday at Regal Waterford Lakes & IMAX) The Photograph The elevator pitch: A famous photographer dies, leaving her daughter with conflicted feelings; when a reporter arrives to interview her about it, they bone. Personally, I don’t think it’s a good idea to sleep with anyone whose very existence in your life reminds you of your lousy childhood. Unless it’s some sort of Fifty Shades deal and your sex play consists of punishing them for it. On Fantasy Island. (PG-13) Sonic the Hedgehog I hear they put, like, racing stripes on him or some shit. (PG) orlandoweekly.com

GOING BL_ANK AGAIN

Percussionist William Hicks makes a joyful noise as Bl_ank BY ANTHONY MAUSS

rder and chaos are the twin poles that guide what is generally accepted as music and that which is dismissed as noise. If Plato is correct and “rhythm and harmony find their way into the inward places of soul,” where then does the atonal, the distorted, the accidental, or the arrhythmic take us? What comes of straddling the chasm of control and release? The recorded and live works of Bl_ank wrestle with these dichotomies to create a psychedelic listening experience that is a journey inward and outward simultaneously. Bl_ank is the working moniker of Nashville’s William Hicks. Classically trained on piano but working primarily as a percussionist, Hicks started his music career in a noise rock band before a personal loss moved him toward solo work just three

years ago. “I needed to take a step back from everything and everybody to process it all. In that alone time I turned to music to try to healthily express these negative feelings,” says Hicks. “This isn’t the sole reason that I quit that band but it definitely made the move to solo work feel so natural.” A marriage of frenetic live drumming and seemingly random and melodic synthesized sounds, Bl_ank’s music is a powerful unleashing of the Jungian collective unconscious, primal and instantly recognizable as intimately human. Hicks is grounded when describing his motivations: “I’m really just out here doing whatever I want. Lately I’ve been playing these newish songs that are more listenable than the original Bl_ank noise stuff. But if I’m playing a noise show or an improv piece with somebody, that’s usually for my own pleasure.”

One of Bl_ank’s latest and more melodic songs, “8 a.m. Offering Plate,” sees Hicks recalling a moment from his childhood about attending church, where he distracts himself from the preacher’s fiery sermon by thinking about a piano piece he wanted to be at home composing. “Religion has definitely influenced my art pretty heavily,” he says. “I’m usually mocking it or focusing on the harm it has caused for so many people. Those kind of thoughts are feeding tubes for all kinds of creative ideas to me. I think that means, funnily enough, that it has very positively influenced my art.” Though a solo artist primarily, Hicks is a generous and prolific collaborator, having worked with Greg Saunier of Deerhoof, Wayne Coyne and Steven Drozd of Flaming Lips as well as releasing split singles with R. Stevie Moore and Philadelphia guitarist Ada Babar. In Nashville, Hicks made himself a staple of such DIY spaces as Drkmttr Collective, Queen Ave and the East Room. In March of last year, he played a set at Knoxville’s prestigious Big Ears festival that garnered him critical accolades and even a writeup in Rolling Stone. As a working performer, Hicks has been touring extensively with his partner, painter Lydia Kozar, playing smaller venues and intimate house shows. No stranger to Central Florida, Bl_ank was one of the opening acts for Dan Deacon’s show at the Atlantic in Gainesville last November, recently played the Nook on Robinson with Orlando’s Ron Dahl and Gainesville’s Cabo Boing, and even threw down at a house show here in Orlando in 2018. Always on the move, Hicks recently decamped from Nashville to Baltimore in a fashion befitting his experimental style. “I had been in Nashville for almost my entire life,” he remembers. “While we were in Baltimore on tour, my friend there told us that they were moving to a new place and trying to find someone to take over their current room there. So we just took it!” Always bridging the gap between order and chaos in both art and life, Bl_ank continues to explore the possibilities that exist in improvisation and experiment. The In-Between Series brings him back to Orlando this Monday, as part of a brief Florida jaunt that included a raucous set at Miami’s infamous International Noise Conference. music@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

This week, some pre-INC insanity, an Orlando debut and peeks at a couple of new local bands.

PRE-INC SHOW AT UNCLE LOU’S AND GRUMPY’S, FEB. 3

The International Noise Conference in Miami has become such a major annual institution in the underground that the pre-INC shows in Orlando – curated by Lakeland noise insider Dylan Houser since 2015 – have themselves become yearly institutions. Besides capitalizing on the rich influx of noise pilgrims to showcase out-of-town talent passing through, the pre-INC shows are worthwhile happenings because the homegrown weirdos also come out to rally around the freak flag. As usual, this congress of experimental music is a near-bottomless buffet of strangeness with wild techniques and cryptic concepts. But the actual sounds – from the pure noise of New Jersey’s Gluck Gluck on out to the ambient, after-hours house beats of Orlando’s Saturn Valley – represented a panoply of mutant ideas that proved things are getting increasingly expansive in the noise underground. Among the most salient acts I caught was former Miamian and now current Philadelphian Street Rat, who shot blasts of white-hot noise from a hazmat suit rigged with pedals and other sound devices in a berserk, full-body performance. By far, the biggest broadside came from pan-Florida free-jazz syndicate Bongus. Although the amorphous improv group tends to feature lots of stars from the state’s musical fringe, this particular showing was especially maximal for the occasion in both credentials and sheer

Street Rat shot blasts of white-hot noise from a hazmat suit rigged with pedals and other sound devices in a berserk, full-body performance. manpower. While the horn section of their opening set for Eugene Chadbourne back in December was a two-man affair, they came this time as a marauding brass gang armed with saxes, trumpets and trombone. It was an enveloping, amoebic performance that spread all around the room and infiltrated the crowd. Bringing welcome playfulness to the proceedings was Cabo Boing. Although it does its own thing, this solo project of Yip-Yip’s Brian Esser wiggles with the same electro-elastic oddity that made YipYip Orlando’s own warped Devo for so many years. In all, the Orlando pre-INC showcase was a full festival’s worth of action compressed into a one-night blur of insanity. Like its boundary-pushing mother event in Miami, it was a triumph of circuits, ethos and unchained creativity.

HORSE JUMPER OF LOVE, DAISY-CHAIN, FUTURE GHOST AT WILL’S PUB, FEB. 6

Run for Cover Records band Horse Jumper of Love just made their Florida debut here. Heroes of the Boston houseshow scene, they’re a slowcore band who are more than just bummer strummers.

Their songs are overcast emotion rendered in slo-mo, occasionally rising from the torpor in swelling crests of guitar fuzz. It’s music that comes over you like codeine and, well, Codeine. Although certainly very atmospheric, they do more than just hover. Their sleepwalking features twists and left turns that evoke some choice 1990s indie rock. Somewhat more stripped than their recordings, HJOL’s live arrangement gave particular emphasis to their interesting melodic detailing and the vocal emotion of singer-guitarist Dimitri Giannopoulos. It was a juxtaposition of mood and sonics that cast a state of hypnotic suspension that works the dynamic between light and heavy. For a generally quiet band, the applause came loud. As the forward-looking promoters at Ugly Orange are laudably wont to do, the rest of the night’s bill was stacked with fresh local talent – including looks at a couple of new notable acts. Particularly promising were young Orlando band Daisy-Chain, one of the most distinctive new prospects to sprout up lately. Steeped in the aesthetics of classic alternative, they’re an arty blend of jangle-pop and post-punk, even looking the part like a living snapshot of the early 1980s U.K. underground. Watch for them. Also playing were Future Ghost, a brand-new band anchored by the creative duo of Jake Ellis and Kat Albanese. Their indie rock benefits from a combination of melodic sensibilities and coed vocal chemistry. Live, they paint their airborne songs with richness and dynamism, adding keyboards and sometimes even a second percussionist to their rock arrangements. baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

Black Mary: An Homage to Black Feminine Magic Mother-daughter dream team Kanika and Renata Sago created Black Mary to showcase “the optimism and internal power that people – no matter how dire their circumstances – possess in navigating life’s obstacles,” says Renata Sago. (Her name will be familiar to NPR junkies from her time on “Marketplace” and before that, as a reporter at WMFE.) The exhibit of 25 photos taken in Chicago, Miami, New Orleans and Los Angeles applies #blackgirlmagic to, of all characters, Mary Poppins – reconceiving Disney’s prim British nanny as a joyful and powerful modern Black woman. The show hangs at the Orlando Public Library for the month of February, and Wednesday is your chance to meet and talk to Team Sago about the supercalifragilisticexpialidocious ideas behind the project. – Jessica Bryce Young PHOTO BY KANIKA SAGO

Cupid’s Undie Run SPORTS

Most of us enjoy sitting around in our underwear. Well, how about running around in your underwear? For a mile. Outside. With hundreds of other people. Cupid’s Charity is holding their annual Cupid’s Undie Run the day after Valentine’s. This fundraiser aims to aid in the research for a cure for neurofibromatosis, a progressive genetic disorder that causes tumors to grow on nerves throughout the body. Those afflicted by the rare illness cannot cover their tumors, so the runners go out exposed in their undies as a show of solidarity. Just the event for those philanthropists with an exhibitionist spirit. – Lillian Hernández Caraballo Noon | Elixir, 9 W. Washington St. | cupidsundierun.com | $40

Modular on the Spot

Indie-Folkfest MUSIC

MUSIC

The Mennello Museum of Art presents the sixth annual Indie-Folkfest, which brings together the Central Florida community by celebrating art, food and music from local artists. Vendors like Voodoo Kitchen, Rick’s Dog Deli and Catered by Bruno are gathering around Mennello’s gorgeous lakeside sculpture garden while musicians like Oak Hill Drifters and Beth McKee play the stage. Family, friends and pets are welcome to bask in the City Beautiful’s local art scene. The event itself is free but if you want to reserve your very own picnic area while you watch the performances, it’s $40. – Samantha N. Olson

Last year, the reissue on Sacred Bones of a little-known 1976 electronic LP by Mort Garson of “warm earth music for plants … and the people that love them,” called Mother Earth’s Plantasia, made a pretty big splash in the underground. And even if Modular on the Spot isn’t a direct homage, we’d like to think that the Circuit Church organizers will be channeling Garson’s spirit during this event. They’re taking their modular synths out of their usual preferred nighttime environs – the Nook on Robinson, Stardust Video & Coffee – and dropping them right in the center of Mead Garden. This is a conceptual exercise that we can all enjoy, and get a lil’ Vitamin D to boot. Performers include Berz3rkr, Modal Plane, Pressurewave, Ron Dahl and Void Machine. And, no doubt, a chorus of happily blooming flowers. – Matthew Moyer

Shovels & Rope MUSIC

PHOTO BY CURTIS MILLARD

There are few acts in modern roots music as distinctive as Shovels & Rope. Like the White Stripes of Americana, the South Carolina power couple of Cary Ann Hearst and Michael Trent have risen in recent years to become one of the standard-bearers of the new classic American sound. With one boot deep in rich tradition and the other kicking down today’s door, they straddle vintage and contemporary with the big indie flair of the Black Keys. And they’re touring on their biggest, most assured album (By Blood) to date. Speaking of the Black Keys, this bill doubles as a prime opportunity to get an early peek at emerging opener Early James, a young Southern crooner who’s the latest signing to Dan Auerbach’s Easy Eye Sound label. His debut album doesn’t drop until March 6, so this show will make for a nice preview. – Bao Le-Huu with Early James | 6 p.m. | The Social, 54 N. Orange Ave. | foundation-presents.com | $22-$99

1619 Fest EVENTS

Celebrate Black History Month with an entertaining and educational event being held in Hannibal Square. The 1619 Fest is inspired by the New York Times’ 1619 Project, an effort to re-examine the legacy of slavery in the United States, named after the year in which 20-30 Africans kidnapped from the Kingdom of Ndongo arrived in the Virginia colony. Hosted by the Equity Council Corp., a West Winter Park nonprofit and community advocacy group, the celebration will be held at Shady Park within the historic African American neighborhood of Hannibal Square. Although the festival is free, tickets to the exclusive Orlando premiere of a documentary called Death to the N-Word and a meet and greet with the director, Sadiq Al-Aleem, are not. – Isabella Marchetta 8 a.m. | Hannibal Square, 721 W.

Marc Maron CO M E DY

Although the notoriously neurotic comedian would probably deny it, Marc Maron is one of the internet’s great success stories. In 2009, after losing his gig as a radio host on the newly defunct Air America network, Maron dumped his savings into creating a podcast as a last-ditch effort to save his career. The result was “WTF With Marc Maron,” in which Maron conducts deep, in-depth interviews with comedians, musicians, actors, directors and even the last popularly elected President of the United States, Barack Obama. Maron’s cachet quickly increased, and his stand-up work gained legions of new fans. This Valentine’s Day, Maron pops in to Hard Rock Live for a date on his Hey, There’s More tour. Whether that means there’s more to Maron than just being a great interviewer and host, or that there’s more existential pain and suffering for him to mine for punchlines, well, either way it’s right.

B Y DA N S AVAG E

My boyfriend and I were having relationship issues until we tried something new: pegging. He wanted to try it, but he was afraid and sometimes said the idea disgusted him. Then we tried it, and it was better than normal vanilla or even kinky bondage sex. It was the most emotionally connected sex we’ve ever had. I actually pegged him three times in 24 hours. He says now he wants to be “the girl” in our relationship. He doesn’t want to transition to become a girl, but to be more “the girl” sexually and emotionally. I see this as sexy and loving. I’ve always taken care of him in a nurturing way, but this adds so much more. I feel bad about sending this long story just to ask a simple question, but … how do I be more “the guy” for my boyfriend who wants to be more “the girl”? Not just sexually, but in everyday life? The Boyfriend Experience “It’s amazing these two found each other,” says Key Barrett, a trained anthropologist. “They communicate and obviously create spaces to be vulnerable together and explore.” Barrett has studied female-led relationships (FLR) and written books – fiction and nonfiction – about them, TBE, and his first concern was your boyfriend succumbing to “sub-frenzy,” or a burning desire to realize all his fantasies at once. You guys aren’t new to kink – you mention bondage – but you’ve found something that taps into some deepseated desires, and you don’t want to move too fast. “Pegging opened up a huge box of shiny new emotions and feelings,” Barrett says. “That’s great, but they should take it slow, especially if they want this dynamic to be a part of the day-to-day relationship.” You also need to bear in mind that pegging, while wonderful, won’t solve your underlying (and unspecified) “relationship issues.” Unless, of course, the issue was your boyfriend feeling anxious about asking you to peg him. If he was worried about walking back his previous comments, or worried you would judge, shame or dump him over this, that could have been the cause of your conflict, and the pegging – by some miracle – was the solution. But, hey, you didn’t ask about those other issues – you didn’t even name them – so let’s focus on your actual question: you being “the guy” and your boyfriend being “the girl.” “The boyfriend wants TBE to be ‘the guy’ in the relationship to reinforce his desire to be ‘the girl,’” Barrett says, “and she seems OK with this, although she does acknowledge that this would require more than the nurturing and caretaking she’s already showed toward him. That’s a valid concern. His desire to take the kink out of the bedroom and merge it with the day-to-day risks turning her into a kink dispenser. There’s also the aspect of the boyfriend’s gender stereo50

typing. Being dominant isn’t unique to men, and being submissive isn’t a ‘feminine’ trait. There are a lot of alpha men in FLRs who shine in support roles for the women they trust. Female-led relationships don’t rely on stereotypes. Indeed, they often flout them by relying not on stereotypical behaviors but on what is a natural dynamic for the couple. In that sense, each FLR is unique.” While it’s possible that “I want to be the girl” are the only words your boyfriend has to describe the dynamic that turns him on, for some men, sacrificing their “male” power and privilege is an intrinsic part of the eroticism of submitting to a dominant woman. And that’s OK, too. “If he legitimately wants to take on a role of supporting her and being her adoring submissive partner while thinking of that role as ‘feminine,’ it could work for them,” Barrett says. “He might really enjoy supporting her decisions and being more of a domestic partner. She might enjoy the support and validation that comes from having a partner who revels in her successes and strength. This could fulfill the ‘caring for him as if I were the boyfriend’ portion (what a loving statement!) while still feeling natural for TBE.” So how can you get started as “the guy” in this relationship? “They should, again, start small,” Barrett says. “Maybe delegate a few tasks that were ‘hers’ to him, and she can tell him how she wants them done,” whatever it is (dishes? laundry? cocksucking?), “as this will help ensure the outcome they both want. I would also recommend they both read about what FLRs are and aren’t. FLRs are often kinkfriendly, but kink is not required. And they need to remember the key word in ‘femaleled relationship’ is ‘relationship.’” I’m a woman, and I was contacted on an app by someone claiming to be a “guydyke.” Based on their profile pictures, I was basically looking at a white, cis, masc-presenting man who’s said he is queer but only attracted to women. And by masc-presenting, I mean I could not pick him out of a lineup of the most average of average-looking straight dudes: drab clothes, a week’s stubble, bad haircut. Granted, nobody is obliged to announce their gender identity through clothing or grooming choices, but how is this guy not straight? Perplexed “I happen to be one of those ‘old-school’ lesbians, despite not actually being what most consider to be old,” says Arielle Scarcella, a popular lesbian YouTuber with more than 600,000 subscribers. “Back when I was coming out in 2005, if a male person who lived as a man – a male who lived in such a way that he was always perceived to be a man – claimed he was a lesbian or a

“THE GIRLS”

dyke, we’d shut them down. But in 2020, it’s only acceptable to accept everyone for what they say they are. I disagree. Part of being a lesbian, being a woman, is also cultural and societal. It’s not simply an identity. Living in the world as a woman matters. A biological male who presents as a man and has sex only with women will never know what it’s like to be treated as a woman or a lesbian. He can identify however he likes, of course, but he will be perceived as a straight man who’s fetishizing queer women.” I’m in my late 20s and genderfluid. I have a male physique, but at times I feel more feminine. I suddenly can’t shake the desire to have more feminine breasts. I’ve been looking at women with C or D cups and wishing I had boobs that big. I’ve spent time looking into breast enhancement, but I live in the Midwest. It’s not as bad as the South, but there are still plenty of people who believe violating gender norms is a sin. I guess I don’t know what I’m trying to ask other than whether this is normal. Bro Obsessed Over Bust Size It’s not normal – in the literal, non-pejorative sense – for an “assigned male at birth” person who presents as male to want to slap large boobs on his otherwise male-presenting physique. But so what? If you’re worried about how your boobs will be received there in the Midwest, perhaps you could get yourself a pair of what drag queens and fashion stylists call “chicken cutlets,” i.e., silicone breast enhancers that tuck into a bra, and try wearing them out. For the record, kids, I’m not equating being genderfluid with drag, even though many drag queens (but not all) identify as genderfluid and many genderfluid people (but not all) do drag. (I never get tired of tap-dancing my way through this minefield.) But back when I was doing drag, BOOBS, a pair of chicken cutlets artfully placed under my pecs created a pretty realistic-looking set of big ol’ titties. Think of chicken cutlets as a temporary, nonsurgical breast-enhancement option – to test the locals as well as your desire to have breasts. On the “Lovecast,” spanking is for grown-ups!
