Disney World’s Reedy Creek firefighters throw support behind Ron DeSantis Last Tuesday, Disney World’s Reedy Creek firefighters joined other unions in endorsing Gov. Ron DeSantis in his re-election campaign. Yes, the same DeSantis that signed a bill dissolving the special district the Reedy Creek firefighters protect. The dissolution will begin in June 2023 and there is currently no plan for what will happen to the employees of this district. The governor battled the House of Mouse after they criticized the state’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill. This recently passed law prohibits the discussion of sexual orientation and gender identity in public school instruction. Even if the corporate conglomerate shouldn’t have the power to self-govern a huge chunk of Central Florida, it’s hard to cheer the removal of that power over petty political fights. However, Jon Shirey, union president of the Reedy Creek firefighters, said he trusts DeSantis to take care of them during this squabble. “He has been the most pro-first responder governor that I have seen in my entire 37 years in Florida,” Shirey said, per the Orlando Sentinel. “We’re pretty confident that no matter how this thing shakes out with Reedy Creek that we’re going to be fine.”

Icon Park changes course on ‘Bullseye Blast’ ride following public outcry After receiving a hefty dose of “what were you thinking” from the public, Icon Park is reconsidering their new Bullseye Blast game. The add-on game to Icon Park’s 400-foothigh observation wheel allowed guests to take aim at targets around the park using laser guns. Because Icon Park is located in the United States, the public couldn’t help but point out that the park had created something akin to a mass shooter mini-game. Icon Park has decided to change the look of the guns at the center of the game, pausing the attraction until the design is redesigned. In a statement from Icon Park, they claimed the game was “well-received” and noted that the criticism was coming from “non-guests,” saying: “Some non-guests and community members expressed that they considered the toy shooting device used to be insensitive. The attractions industry has many similar games which use similar shooting devices, so that is what we were limited to when exploring the game. However, we believe that a device can and should be designed which does not offend anyone in the community. We look forward to leading this new innovation.”

Charges dropped against two men who were shot by police for allegedly shoplifting at Target The execution of a young man in Kissimmee by local police became even less justified this week, as the State’s Attorney’s Office dropped charges against two men who were shot and survived. In case you missed it, the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office executed 20-yearold Jayden Baez for the suspected crime of stealing Pokemon cards and pizza from a Kissimmee Target. Osceola County Sheriff’s Office deputies boxed in Baez’s car using four unmarked vehicles. The box-in maneuver was performed improperly, leaving Baez’s car the space to accelerate into the vehicles that had boxed him in, which were not immediately identifiable as police cars. While deputies claim they shouted “Stop! Sheriff’s Office!,” none of the many deputies on scene were wearing body cameras. OCSO Sheriff Marcos Lopez said that the deputies were not wearing body cameras as they had just completed a training exercise nearby.

Florida legislators unveil Mary McLeod Bethune statue in U.S. Capitol An 11-foot-tall marble likeness of civil rights leader and educator Mary McLeod Bethune was unveiled last week in the U.S. Capitol, replacing a statue of a former Confederate general that had represented Florida in the National Statuary Hall for nearly a century. During an unveiling ceremony, U.S. Rep. Frederica Wilson of Florida’s 24th Congressional District described the change as “rewriting the history we want to share with our future generations. We are replacing a remnant of hatred and division with the symbol of hope and inspiration.” The statue of Bethune, described as “a drum major for justice,” marks the first time a state has honored a Black person in the U.S. Capitol collection, which features two statues from each state. Among other things, Bethune founded what is now BethuneCookman University in Daytona Beach. orlandoweekly.com

THE STATE WE ARE IN I don’t think Billy Manes would like the ways the world has changed. But I wish he were here to help me make sense of it BY JEFFREY C. BILLMAN
F
ive years ago this week, I stood in a small, crowded hospital room in Orlando and watched my best friend die. I lived a few states away, so from my perspective, Billy Manes’ decline was sudden: tests on Monday turned into an urgent message that I needed to fly down on Wednesday turned into massive organ failure by Friday morning. But for those around him, it wasn’t so unexpected. In ways big and small, Billy had strained and abused his tiny body for decades, and the year after the massacre at the LGBTQ nightclub Pulse was probably more than he could bear. Billy’s career arc has taken him from acerbic, flamboyantly gay nightlife writer to insightful, empathetic political reporter to editor of the region’s LGBTQ magazine. And when the nation’s eyes turned on Orlando’s traumatized gay community, they inevitably found their way to Billy, who’d long been something of a local celebrity. Being Billy Manes meant throwing himself into that role, and overcoming the parts of himself that hated being the voice of a community amid unspeakable grief and anger. It also meant understanding that politics is personal. A killer had pumped hundreds of bullets into a club a mile from his house. He’d had a partner whose body was ravaged by AIDS. He’d gotten married in 2015 because a court said he could, after a lifespan of being called a “pervert” and “faggot” and told that by asking for basic dignity he wanted “special rights.” And then Donald Trump got elected. And then, as happens too often in this business, work became a thankless chore of impossible expectations. And then he — or his body — gave out. I’ve been thinking about Billy a lot these last few weeks. Not just that he’s gone. Not how much darker my little corner of the world is without him. But just how dark and chaotic everything has become in the last five years. How the knuckle-dragging extremists Billy and I rolled our eyes at are now the mainstream of the Republican Party, replaced by a new gen-

eration of knuckle-draggers who are shifting the Overton window yet again. How the new knuckle-draggers now consider Mitt Romney and Paul “Ayn Rand” Ryan RINOs. How there are two new right-wing television channels that emerged because they thought Fox News was too moderate. How we went through a deadly pandemic with a president who advised people to take a horse dewormer. How that president then tried to orchestrate a coup, and when it failed, most of his party stood by him. How Republicans aren’t going to pay a price for sedition and insurrection because gas costs a lot. How the Supreme Court glibly tossed out Roe v. Wade and gun restrictions, and made it obvious that the rights of same-sex couples to marry and even be together are next. How the same Supreme Court that told women their autonomy is up to state legislatures also allowed state legislatures to gerrymander their way into permanent majorities without interference from federal courts — and in a year or so, perhaps without interference from state courts, either. How a state law that immediately banned abortion has already forced at least one little girl to have to cross state lines to abort her rapist’s fetus, and forced doctors to watch women experiencing miscarriage deteriorate until they were sick enough to die, to qualify for an abortion. How one coal millionaire from West Virginia thwarted plans to combat climate change and legislation that would have expanded the social welfare system on a level not seen since the Great Society. How conservatives turned the phenomenon of famous men facing consequences for
sexual misconduct into the very scary “cancel culture,” then morphed that into an attack on the idea that 400 years of American slavery and racial oppression might still have lingering societal effects, then into the claim that children are being indoctrinated by teachers and “groomers” into changing their gender identity, which evolved into book-burning crusades and new laws to ban puberty blockers. How, in Florida, even mildly criticizing the governor leads to direct governmental retribution, and this authoritarian shakedown probably won’t cost the governor his job this fall. How Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene are actual, no-bullshit members of Congress. How we have a mass shooting every other week, it seems — kids in a school, people in a grocery store, suburbanites at a parade — and we are still thinking and praying and wondering why these things keep happening but haven’t gone after the weapons that inflict the damage. How even the smallest movement toward reforming the broken criminal legal system didn’t survive first contact with a pandemic homicide uptick. How our democratic institutions are hanging by a thread, and the Democratic Party has all but given up even trying to fix them. How the feckless Democratic Party has become the only pro-democracy major party this country has left. How the Washington media still hasn’t figured that out — or that the Republicans are playing Calvinball. I don’t think you’d like it here, Billy. But I wish you were here to help me make sense of it. Or at least, to make me laugh at how stupid everything is. feedback@orlandowekly.com orlandoweekly.com

Remembering Billy Manes, five years later BY M AT T H E W M OY E R
T
his week, journalist, activist and Orlando icon Billy Manes will have been gone five years. And in that ensuing crawl of time, it’s become ever more clear that we won’t soon see his likes again. “Can’t believe it’s only been five years. Seems longer than that. Guess that speaks to the size of the void Billy left,” says Orlando Sentinel columnist Scott Maxwell. “I always loved the way Billy lived his life — out loud and without a filter, brakes or apologies.” Which Billy Manes did you know? It’s a bit of an Orlando Rorschach test. The committed activist? The incisive, passionate Orlando Weekly political writer? The nightlife chronicler? The loving husband? The mayoral candidate? The pop-music obsessive (shouted out by his beloved Duran Duran after his passing)? The Barnes & Noble superstar bookseller? The Watermark editor-in-chief? The reluctant voice of Orlando’s LGBTQ+ community in the aftermath of Pulse massacre? Or was it — if you were lucky enough — some combination thereof? Billy Manes effortlessly embodied all these multitudes as a very singular whole — and he did it with style, a trademark shock of bleached, spiky hair and vintage finery fitting his angular frame, radiating out in the midst of the crowd. He was every bit as at ease at City Council meetings as he was at Will’s Pub and Parliament House, existing in many different worlds. “Billy Manes was an Orlando original,” says Mayor Buddy Dyer. And he’s spot on. “Billy’s experience taught him that each one of us has a complex and truth-filled story. He believed that story should be listened to and honored. It really did not matter to Billy how your social standing, profession, economics, or even sometimes coherence was supposed to give weight to your opinion or insight,” remembers Anthony Mauss, Manes’ husband and longtime companion. “Billy listened and gave credence to everyone; understood their value as people. This trait allowed him to navigate through any situation regardless of formality or chaos with a grace that always captivated and outsized his physical stature.” “He just met people where they were at and recognized that no one was necessarily greater or better than anybody else,” agrees Erin Sullivan, Manes’ editor, collaborator and confidante at OW. “I think that made it possible for him to not just slip into roles, but to actually be himself and admire people for what they had to bring to the table and what they had to offer. I think people could sense that from him.
So he was welcome basically anywhere that he wanted to go.” “One of Billy’s strengths was how often he was underestimated by people in positions of authority. Because of his irreverent personality and look, a lot of people in City Hall dismissed him as a political lightweight. Man, they learned the hard way just how wrong they were,” recalls local artist and musician Erin Nolan. “Billy knew this and reveled in it. He was the smartest person in the room more often than not and had a deep understanding of the issues. He could hold their feet to the fire in ways they weren’t used to. It speaks volumes about Billy’s character that so many of these same people wound up embracing him and becoming true friends with him. He taught some real life lessons to those in power.” “He cared so much about this community that he was often invited or recognized as our local celebrity,” recalls local activist and organizer Stephanie Porta. “The celebrity status wasn’t just because of his writing, either. He was also one of the very few reporters who was always rooting for the underdog. He wasn’t just reporting on the underdogs before anyone else was, but he helped them behind the scenes as well. People knew he was fighting for them and they loved him for it.” Billy Manes had already been a glittering superstar before he joined Orlando Weekly as a nightlife columnist, but his early years at OW certainly gave him a new platform and a place to hone his craft. Manes hit the town nightly and then waxed poetic and salacious about what he saw and what he did — and it was glorious. “There always seemed to be running involved,” remembers GatorLand ambassador and longtime co-conspirator Savannah Boan of those days. “We were always running from event to event, promotion to promotion, gala to gala, keeping secrets, yelling gossip, breaking heels and mocking hosts, but Billy was on a mission and I was happy to be John Taylor to his Simon Le Bon. We were ‘Girls on Film.’” After a time, though, he wanted to do more. Manes shifted from his nightlife beat in B-list and Blister to covering local politics and eventually taking over Orlando Weekly’s longrunning Happytown column. He could even use his lethal command of words and inner sense of dramatic narrative arc in an account of Orlando’s weekly City Council meetings, making you snicker while imparting actual knowledge of how the city runs. “He would say, ‘Nobody cares about what’s happening there. They don’t go to the meetings, they don’t pay attention. So my goal is to turn it

into a drama or a soap opera, so people cannot stand to miss an episode,’” remembers Sullivan. “So he would use these phrases like ‘clutching pearls’ … I think of Billy every time I hear that phrase, and I probably always will. Because he used it to enlighten all of Orlando into what the culture of our city government at that time was. A bunch of pearlclutchers who were nervous and afraid and unsure if they could be as progressive as they have turned out to be today.” Manes wrote longform features on the bumpy birth of the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, Medicaid expansion in Florida and gay marriage — drawing on his own life experience — that combined his signature verbal flair with exhaustive reporting, embodying the best of what makes alt-weeklies unique in mass media. “Billy could take some of the most complicated and boring things and write 500 words that not only explained everything perfectly but also made you laugh. I mean, have you ever been to a city council meeting?” says Porta. “You could also hear his voice and his experience and in some ways, the experience of this whole town as he told us about his run-ins with elected officials. Because no one else was really reporting on the day-to-day actions of our politicians nor had any idea how they were as just regular humans. He humanized them but also called them out rightfully and righteously.” “I loved when Billy came out of music-writer retirement to do a cover story on the Kaleigh Baker Band for the Weekly long after he had pivoted to politics,” says Nolan. “He did it because he loved the band and the people involved. He couldn’t leave it to anyone he viewed as a ‘lesser writer.’ (And let’s face it — Billy viewed everyone as a lesser writer, ha!)” [continued on next page]

role at Watermark. And within months of assuming that role, he very reluctantly assumed another new role as one of the main voices of Orlando’s LGBTQ+ community in the wake of the Pulse nightclub shooting. Manes looked and sounded weary but was full of passion and empathy as he spoke about the loss Orlando was reeling from on NPR and cable news. “I think Billy was always a spokesman for the gay community in Orlando, his efforts following the Pulse tragedy just elevated him into being an even brighter light of hope than before,” says Boan. “He absorbed all the pain and transformed it into action. He said all the things we couldn’t and ripped down the curtains of tears so that we could see clearer through the sun shining in through the stained-glass windows.” After Pulse, Billy parted ways with Watermark. He and OW editor in chief Jessica Bryce Young were scheming his return to the Weekly in some capacity. “I couldn’t believe we might be so lucky as to work together again,” says Young. “But he went into the hospital before we had a chance to finalize plans, and he never came out. I’m so very grateful I spoke to him in the days before he stopped being able to talk. His voice still echoes in my head.” Manes passed away in 2017 at the age of 45, and even with an ever-consuming present continually beating us over the head, has left an outsized legacy and a wealth of love to the City Beautiful. “He wore his heart on his sleeve and would pour it into his writing,” says Maxwell. “He was a crusader for the causes he believed in, especially equality and justice. And I think Orlando is a better place because of that.” “We’re all better because Billy lived here. We’re all better because Billy saw us as the best version of ourselves,” concurs Boan. “We’re all better because we knew him, we saw him, we had unlimited access to him and his almost every thought. We’re all better because he gifted us with himself.” “His legacy is teaching people that their voices matter and that they can use them to make a difference and to get people to listen,” reflects Sullivan. “Billy lived his life out loud and wasn’t afraid to share his own life with the public,” says Porta. “Whether running for Billy and his husband, Anthony Mauss | Photo by Jim Leatherman Orlando mayor to point out how absurd the system was, documenting his union with Alan and then Alan’s suicide, traveling to Tallahassee to fight for and report on gay marIn 2005, Manes stepped out from behind his typewriter to nightlife columnist run for this sham election was our way of riage, marrying Tony on Valentine’s Day with half of Orlando run for mayor in a special election.

The Renaissance Theatre Co. stumbled onto an accidental specialty — immersive, experiential shows — and they have two more on the cards right now
We’ve all had to bid premature
farewells to far too many friends over the past few years, but Orlando’s theater community was dealt some particularly painful gut punches in recent days. First we lost longtime Universal Orlando show director Adrien LePeltier, who was the sweetest and most supportive person — and also the sharpest and sassiest — I worked with during my days there. Just over a week later came the shocking passing of Doug Ba’aser, one of Orlando’s funniest performers in or out of drag, who stole scenes from the Civic to Sleuths for over 40 years. It’s devastating to know I’ll never be teased or nitpicked by these local legends again, and I’m especially heartbroken for the local LGBTQ+ community they both helped build. But if there’s one thing that both men believed in, it’s that “the show must go on.” So, rather than devoting this space to their remarkable pasts, I’m honoring them by looking forward to the future, something I’m sure they’d lovingly kvetch about. It’s hard for me to believe that it’s barely been one year since the Renaissance Theatre Co. (rentheatre.com) moved into the Orlando Ballet’s former rehearsal hall near Loch Haven Park and transformed it into one of the area’s most active and exciting new venues. Their latest original theatrical experience runs July 22 through Aug. 13, and I spoke with writer/performer Brandon Martin and producer/co-creator Donald Rupe ahead of its premiere to learn how Lenox Avenue transports audiences back to poet Langston Hughes’ Harlem Renaissance. “I think we all have personal connections to [Langston Hughes], reading some of his most iconic poems,” says Martin, a theme park veteran who previously performed in Rupe’s Flying Lessons at the 2019 New York Musical Festival. “I’ve always felt the poetry of Langston Hughes … and connected to it.” Martin took verses from the Hughes anthology The Weary Blues, including “Mother to Son,” and adapted them into lyrics for original

1920s-style jazz and R&B songs, which are accompanied by period-inspired choreography by Adonus Mabry. “We decided we wanted it to be fun; we didn’t want it necessarily to have a narrative or a lot of script to it, so it’s kind of like you’re visiting a Harlem cabaret to see different acts,” says Martin, explaining that Lenox Avenue is a fictitious speakeasy that seeks to re-create the atmosphere of “a Cotton Club or Savoy” minus the racial segregation of the era. “There was a deliberate decision from the outset to have a piece that did not focus on Black trauma, and was a celebration of Black excellence and Black art, and to have Black joy be the main force — the main feeling and focus,” he says. In addition to presenting productions like Lenox Avenue and a revised concert version of From Here, Rupe’s acclaimed musical about the Pulse massacre — “I’ve been developing that show, so it’s changed a lot [in] the latest script, which I finally feel like is pretty close to actually being completed,” says Rupe — “the Ren” hosts weekly Musical Monday cabarets and Off the Record drag shows, on top of serving as two official venues during May’s Orlando International Fringe Theater Festival. “I’m a huge Fringe fan, so it was nice to be involved from a different angle and see the inner workings of Fringe from an organizer’s perspective,” says Rupe. “I feel like I understood how difficult everything is in dealing with all of those artists, but getting to see it
first-hand was an interesting lesson, to say the least.” After Lenox Avenue, the Renaissance will open Nosfera2, a follow-up to last year’s stylish Halloween experience. The vampiric theme will return, but there will be new characters, and a new storyline, fresh musical selections, and the walk-through will be restructured to accommodate larger audiences. “We kind of boxed ourselves in, in terms of how many people that could see the experience at once, so we ended up selling out a lot,” Rupe says, promising the show will still move from space to space, but “in a way that’s smarter.” Despite their wildly divergent subject matters, Lenox Avenue and Nosfera2 are both “immersive,” a term Rupe says he didn’t initially intend to be so often associated with Renaissance Theatre Co.’s offerings. “Really, that was an accident. We did Nosferatu [in 2021], which was definitely immersive, and we saw right away that there was this hidden audience in Orlando that I don’t think is getting the attention they deserve,” recalls Rupe. “It’s almost like there’s some crossover between the people who would come to an immersive theater experience and Halloween Horror Nights or some of the things at theme parks. … I saw this giant audience and I was like, ‘Well, we can’t turn back now.’ So many of our shows have ended up being immersive experiences just to cater to the audience that I think we’ve accidentally stumbled upon.” skubersky@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

fresh. The duck ($36) seemed to have been constructed using the Frank Gehry Manual of Food Architecture: The swirl of preserved rainbow Swiss chard wrapped around a block of sous-vide breast crested with foie and a crisp, undulating tapioca chip was an exercise in postmodernism. It looked like the Guggenheim in Bilbao surrounded by blobs of green tomatillo salsa and pumpkin sauce. Form over function? A bit. My issue was that there wasn’t very much fat on the meat (apart from the foie). A side of truffle fingerling potatoes ($10) added the necessary weight. While cod poached in olive oil ($38) was expectedly lean (and superb), it was the crispy quinoa with pine nuts and apple that really wowed. A lime foam embellished it and it worked. A lime cream embellished the dessert pavlova ($14), and it didn’t. At least not for my two dining companions. Personally, I didn’t mind the bitter notes blending into caramelized pineapple, coconut streusel and coconut ice cream. The banana cream tart ($14) with vanilla curd sided with a tropical fruit salsa dotted with guanabana pearls is a safer bet. The latter was a recommendation from our dispassionate server, who also didn’t seem to know much about the menu. “That robot has more personality,” said my pal, and we had a good laugh over some really stiff and impressive cocktails. Like the food, they come at hotel steakhouse prices (our cocktails ran $16-$19), but we left content nonetheless. In fact, as far as hotel restaurants go, Bacán, like the sculptures outside, deserves to be put on a pedestal.

Like the Big Apple original, the Celebration restaurant will plate “playful interpretations of New American classics centered on celebrating classic seafood dishes” … The Park Avenue Tavern, another Manhattan import, will open a location in the old Dexter’s Winter Park space in Hannibal Square this fall. Expect all-American classics served amid a good amount of leather upholstery … The Bagel Shop, a Boston-area outfit specializing in New York-style bagels, will move into the space recently vacated by La Rima Cafe at 211 W. Fairbanks Ave. in Winter Park. No word yet on an opening date … Also in Hannibal Square, CafeBoutique Piano, a restaurant promising the very wide breadth of “European” cuisine as well as nightly piano shows, opens Aug. 4 at 558 W. New England Ave. … Playa Pizza, firing up New York-style pizzas in a beach-themed environment, has opened in Horizons West in Windermere … Look for Puerto Rican restaurant Crocante Rotisserie Kitchen to open in the old Fuddrucker’s space at 4311 E. Colonial Drive. The restaurant will offer full service as well as a bar program … Bubble tea shop Kung Fu Tea is moving into the space recently vacated by Too Much Sauce in Mills Park … Over in Thornton Park, The Classic will move into Mason Jar Provisions’ old space on East Washington Street later this summer. The restaurant will serve diner and classic comfort fare.

Everybody sees something different! (Netflix) The Gray Man — The most expensive original film in the history of Netflix poses the $200 million question, “Can Joe and Anthony Russo make a Marvel-sturdy franchise out of non-Marvel material?” They’ve certainly stacked the deck in every way possible, bringing along perennial screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, and even marquee muse Chris Evans, to tell the story of a CIA operative sent on the lam by a nefarious conspiracy within the agency. But lest you think they’ve merely remade Captain America: The Winter Soldier without the tights, there’s a big difference: This time, Evans plays the sleazy mole, with new addition Ryan Gosling as the disillusioned fugitive. And you thought Hollywood didn’t take risks anymore. (Netflix) Trying — In Season 3 of the Britcom about wannabe parents, Nikki and Jason’s hopes of adopting have finally come true, and now they have to figure out how to make a life for their two new children. See, pro-choice whiners? Getting through the adoption system isn’t nearly the boondoggle you think. All you have to do is survive two seasons of an internationally successful comedy program, and you can have all the legal dependents you want.

That’s going to be a “justifiable manslaughter” from me, dawg! (Disney+) All the Same … or Not — A Brazilian YA novel inspired this series about a 16-year-old who has to deal with several life upheavals at once, including her mother’s impending remarriage and her own first love. What she needs is a good homicide to take her mind off everything. (Disney+) The Virgin River — Season 4 may finally reveal who shot Jack, which happened all the way back in Season 2. Since it’s my job to keep my finger on the pulse of this sort of thing, I’m predicting either Kristen Shepard, Maggie Simpson or any one of the 331 million Americans who are now free to pack heat in Sam’s Club.

PREMIERES THURSDAY: American Horror Stories — Ryan Murphy’s attempt to spin off American Horror Story into a
series of standalone episodes got pilloried for lacking character development and emotional investment. But that can’t have mattered to everyone, because here we go with Season 2. And anyway, it’s probably a sign you need to put your life in perspective when you find yourself saying “I’m not getting the depth I expect from Ryan Murphy.” (Hulu) Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous — In the fifth and final season of the animated tie-in series, our cast of intrepid kids might finally be going home — unless they decide to stand their ground and protect the dinosaurs instead.

NATURAL CYCLES Orlando’s Someday River step back into the spotlight with plenty of new music to share BY MAISIE HA N EY
I
f you’ve been around the Orlando scene for any decent length of time, you’re surely acquainted with the soothing synesthesia of Someday River. If I never went to a show of theirs on purpose, I still would have seen them a heaping handful of times during their prolific performance peak back in 2017. Someday River is comprised of vocalist-guitarist Greyson Charnock, bassist Kial Fournier and drummer Sean Boyle, with Charnock crowned the head honcho. Though vocal and visible in our little art and music scene, there is so much still left up to our imaginations. How can Papa Smurf and his Stepdaddy-supporting band members be so mysterious? For starters, we have still never been given a proper origin story. “Why would you do this to me?” pleads Charnock in mock-resignation. Charnock laments that he’s a late bloomer when it comes to performing. Though he picked up the guitar at age 10, he wasn’t in a band until the advanced age of 22 (coincidentally, the same age as the Slits’ Viv Albertine when she bought her first guitar). Bellows was the name of Charnock’s first project, which was renamed Someday River after a few years. There were several reasons behind this. One, it became confusing with a then-notable project from Brooklyn also called Bellows. Two, this new name held more personal meaning for Charnock, and it certainly matches the laidback riffs that saturate each Someday River track. Charnock gave us a brief look behind-the-scenes on Someday River | Photo by Hannah Glogower Someday River’s creative practices and division of labor. It is every bit as go-with-the-flow as you might expect. The songs with an emphasis on lyrics are usually written by be making good on that promise with a new single set for inspiring the band’s future releases, Charnock cites notable Charnock solo, as sometimes he’s struck with inspiration release in the near future.

FAREWELL, SWAMBURGER
Few figures are as emblematic of Orlando culture as Swamburger. Whether it’s as a rapper, producer, promoter, label boss, visual artist, mentor, booster or just genuine true believer, his force has tirelessly propelled the city’s creative scene ever since he moved here over two decades ago. There’s simply no one else like him. Unfortunately, he’s moving to Seattle to pursue Mugs and Pockets, his new project with Scarlet Monk. As sad as that is — and it very much is for anyone who’s been in this city’s hip-hop or indie communities in the past quarter-century — I think it’s necessary to honor anyone who’s made an essential contribution to Orlando’s musical legacy. In Swam’s case, it’s with nothing but infinite respect for all he’s done in and for our scene that I send this legend off. If you feel the same, you’ve got two final opportunities this weekend to let the man feel the love in person: a listening party for Mugs and Pockets’ debut album at Iron Cow (6-8:30 p.m. Saturday, July 23) and the official release party at Park Ave CDs (2-4 p.m. Sunday, July 24). After that, he’s off. This one’s for Swamburger. All fists up for you, homie. Your spot in Orlando history is certified. Keep shining like only you can.

No band in recent years has landed on the Orlando scene with as much sheer lightning as the Spoon Dogs.

Whether it’s as a rapper, producer, promoter, label boss, visual artist, mentor, booster or just true believer, few figures are as emblematic of Orlando culture as Swamburger out with new single, “Frankie.” It’s their first release since 2020’s “Bar Called Salvation,” and it’s a solidification of the moody direction heralded by that single over two years ago. If the roadhouse punk rave-up of 2019 debut LP Spoon Dogs was the party, “Frankie” is the druggy aftermath. The song is a smoldering slither through the waste of blues, garage and punk. It hangs thick with danger and vice, oozing like a gutter trash incantation. And it’s seriously sexy. Now streaming everywhere, “Frankie” is the first dose of a new album slated for the fall.

Once they disbanded, the members scattered to different states, with co-founder John Fortson landing here. But in 2020, during lockdown, they started writing songs together again over FaceTime. The resulting seven-song album, Solid Gold, is an astonishingly rejuvenated blast of pure rock & roll revelry and a good omen of what will go down at this show.

Hulder
Black metal has proven to be a surprisingly nimble style of music, deftly avoiding any of several aesthetic and ideological dead ends. Indeed, there is a consistent flood of new, intriguing takes on the black metal template as the corpse-paint is taken up by legions of young enthusiasts. One-woman U.S. black metal powerhouse Hulder is a leading light amongst this horde. After a string of highly coveted and lauded limited-release cassette demos, the project of Marliese Beeuwsaert hit the underground big time with last year’s Godslastering album on Iron Bonehead and the more recent The Eternal Fanfare on 20 Buck Spin. Both are stellar records of raw, cold, classic black metal not in the least concerned with mass accessibility, but with an instinctive knack for compelling riffs and song structure. Now Hulder is on her first U.S. tour with a full band, and expectations are very, very high. But then again, she’s got Satan on her side, so no sweat. Touring support comes from Skeleton. 8 p.m., Will’s Pub, 1042 N. Mills Ave., willspub.org, $15-$20. — Matthew Moyer THURSDAY-FRIDAY, JULY 21-22
Silvestre Dangond
Before capturing the crown as the king of vallenato (a popular style of Colombian folk music), singer Silvestre Dangond spent a lifetime honing his musical craft. Born into a musical family, Dangond was signed to Sony and recording his first album, Tanto Para Ti, barely out of high school. Dangond teamed with Juancho De La Espriella for 2005’s Ponte a la Moda, a hit with Latin music fans worldwide. After the duo went their separate ways, Dangond’s 2014 solo effort, Sigo Invicto, cemented him as a star on his own and earned him five Grammy noms. Dangond found a newer, younger audience through collaborations with big reggaeton names like Nicky Jam and Maluma in the late 2010s. But despite these crossovers, Dangond is steadfast in his love of the vallenato sound. As if to drive the point home, Dangond’s latest single, “Un Motivo Especial,” is an affectionate reworking of an old vallenato number by Dangond’s mentor, Diomedes Diaz. Dangond starts his headlining U.S. tour right here in Orlando, with a second show added due to demand. 8 p.m., Hard Rock Live, 6050 Universal Blvd., hardrock.com/live, $80-$250. — Maitane Orue FRIDAY, JULY 22

Fest have teamed up with Foundation, culminating in a killer lineup of bands taking the Social stage. Orlando’s bubblegum-grunge outfit Expert Timing headline the night. They’re a tender warrior band, taking on tough topics with warmth, but always ready to throw a punch when necessary. Joining them are the very relatably named Dead Selves from Atlanta. The band’s recent single, “Leather Teeth,” is a simultaneously haunting and groovy slice of grandiose emo. And then there’s Orlando’s Palm Tree Square and Default Friends, more than worth opening an ear to. Support your local punk scene like it supports you. 5 p.m., The Social, 54 N. Orange Ave., foundation-presents.com, $12. — Ida V. Eskamani
Keith Sweat If you want to wish the singer who gave us immortal late-20th-century R&B singles like “I’ll Give All My Love to You” and “Make It Last Forever” a happy rotation around the sun — and why wouldn’t you? — add this upcoming Keith Sweat birthday event to your week’s calendar. Sweat will be the guest of honor and headliner at an “R&B Music Experience — Keith Sweat Birthday Celebration” concert with a stacked lineup of famous friends. The New Jack Swing innovator and hitmaker has been releasing a steady stream of romantic R&B anthems since the early ’80s through to the present day. Joining Sweat on stage that night will be Tevin Campbell, Monica, Tamar Braxton, 112, Ginuwine and Silk. It’s like a living snapshot of the singles chart in the early 1990s, or a mixtape to die for. 8 p.m., Amway Center, 400 W. Church St., amwaycenter.com, $65-$175. — MM SUNDAY, JULY 24
Grupo Niche
Get out your dancing shoes because straight out of Cali — Colombia’s capital of salsa — comes the legendary Grupo Niche, performing at SeaWorld as part of the park’s Electric Ocean Concert Series. This seminal salsa band formed back in the 1980s, and since then, they’ve enjoyed acclaim throughout Latin America. Grupo Niche’s live outings are dubbed “The Salsa Experience,” and it’s not empty hyperbole. Are you ready to dance all night? Grupo Niche have energetic anthems like “Una Aventura” and “Cali Pachanguero” ready for you. If you’re in a romantic mood, ballads like “Gotas de Lluvia” or “Busca por Dentro” are perfect for the slow-dancing lovebirds. The Electric Ocean Concert Series continues through Aug. 7. 4 p.m. and 7 p.m., SeaWorld, 7007 SeaWorld Drive, seaworld.com, entry included with park admission. — Nicolle Osorio

JULY 20-26, 2022 ● ORLANDO WEEKLY
29 6/2/2022
2:53:10 PM
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Naeem Callaway founded Get Out the Box, an organization that mentors at-risk youth in low-income and rural communities. Here’s one of his central teachings: “Sometimes the smallest step in the right direction ends up being the biggest step of your life. Tiptoe if you must, but take the step.” Even if you don’t fit the profile of the people Callaway serves, his advice is perfect for you right now. For the time being, I urge you to shelve any plans you might have for grandiose actions. Focus on just one of the many possible tasks you could pursue and carry it out with determined focus. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): A Leo astrologer I’ve known for years told me, “Here’s a secret about us lions. No matter what happens, despite any pitfalls and pratfalls, my ego will stay intact. It ain’t gonna crack. You can hurl five lightning bolts’ worth of insults at my skull, and I will walk away without even a hint of a concussion. I believe in myself and worship myself, but even more importantly: I trust my own selfcoherence like I trust the sun to shine.” Wow! That’s quite a testimony. I’m not sure I fully buy it, though. I have known a few Leos whose confidence wavered in the wake of a minor misstep. But here’s the point of my horoscope: I encourage you to allow a slight ego deflation in the coming days. If you do, I believe it will generate a major blossoming of your ego by August. And that would be a very good thing. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Virgo poet Claude de Burine described how one night when she was 3 years old, she sneaked out of the house with her parents’ champagne bucket so she could fill it up with moonlight. I think activities like this will be a worthy pursuit for you in the coming days. You’re entering a favorable phase to go in quest of lyrical, fanciful experiences. I hope you will make yourself available for marvels and curiosities and fun surprises. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): There is a distinction between being nice and being kind. Being nice is often motivated by mechanical politeness, by a habit-bound drive to appear pleasant. It may be rooted more in a desire to be liked than in an authentic urge to bestow blessings. On the other hand, being kind is a sincere expression of care and concern for another. It fosters genuine intimacy. I bring these thoughts to your attention because I think that one of Libra’s lifelong tasks is to master the art of being kind rather than merely nice. And right now is an especially favorable phase for you to refine your practice.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You sometimes feel you have to tone down your smoldering intensity, avert your dark-star gazes, conceal your sultry charisma, dumb down your persuasive speech, pretend you don’t have so much stamina, disguise your awareness of supernatural connections, act less like a saint and martyr in your zealous devotions, and refrain from revealing your skill at reading between the lines. But none of that avoidance stuff usually works very well. The Real You leaks out into view. In the coming weeks, I hope you won’t engage in any of the hiding behavior I described. It’s a favorable time to freely pour forth your Scorpionic blessings.
— EVERYWHERE! On the sidewalk, through buildings, and especially in the woods and natural areas. He says that being in direct contact with our beloved earth can provide me with energetic nourishment not possible any other way. I have resisted the doc’s advice so far. It would take the soles of my feet a while to get accustomed to the wear and tear of barefoot walking. I bring this up, Pisces, because the coming weeks will be an excellent time for you to try what I haven’t yet. In fact, anything you do to deepen your connection with the earth will be extra-healing. I invite you to lie in the sand, hug trees, converse with birds, shout prayers to mountains and bathe in rivers or lakes.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): There could be interesting and important events happening while you sleep in the coming nights. If a butterfly lands on you in a dream, it may mean you’re prepping for a spiritual transformation in waking life. It could be a sign you’re receptive to a breakthrough insight you weren’t previously open to. If you dream of a baby animal, it might signify you’re ready to welcome a rebirth of a part of you that has been dormant or sluggish or unavailable. Dreams in which you’re flying suggest you may soon escape a sense of heaviness or inertia.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): You are entering the Season of Love’s Renewal. To celebrate, I offer you a poem by eighthcentury Tamil poet Andal. Whatever gender you may be, I invite you to visualize yourself as the “Snakewaist woman” she addresses. Here’s Andal, bringing a fiery splash of exclamation points: “Arouse, Snakewaist woman! Strut your enchantment! Swoop your mirth and leap your spiral reverence! As wild peacocks shimmer and ramble and entice the lightning-nerved air! Summon thunderheads of your love! Command the sentient wind! Resurrect the flavor of eternal birth!”
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): How to be the best Capricorn you can be in the coming weeks and months: No. 1: Develop a disciplined, well-planned strategy to achieve more freedom. No. 2: Keep clambering upward even if you have no competitors and there’s no one else at the top. No. 3: Loosen your firm grasp and steely resolve just enough so you can allow the world to enjoy you. No. 4: Don’t let the people you love ever think you take them for granted. No. 5: Be younger today than you were yesterday. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In the next seven to eight weeks, I’d love for you to embody an attitude about intimacy articulated by author Hélène Cixous. Here’s her aspiration: “I want to love a person freely, including all her secrets. I want to love in this person someone she doesn’t know. I want to love without judgment, without fault. Without false, without true. I want to meet her between the words, beneath language.” And yes, dear Aquarius, I know this is a monumental undertaking. If it appeals to you at all, just do the best you can to incorporate it. Perfection isn’t required. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): I periodically consult a doctor of Chinese medicine who tells me that one of the best things I can do for my health is to walk barefoot
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Tips to get the most out of the next three weeks: No. 1: Work harder, last longer and finish with more grace than everyone else. No. 2: Be in love with beauty. Crave it, surround yourself with it and create it. Be especially enamored of beautiful things that are also useful. No. 3: Taste the mist, smell the clouds, kiss the music, praise the earth and listen to the moon in the daytime sky. No. 4: Never stop building! Keep building and building and building your joy, your security, your love, your beauty, your stamina, your sense of wonder.
More animals come in during the summer months than they do the rest of the year, while at the same time, adoption numbers drop. We don’t know why this happens, but it does. Summers are hard on shelters. All our animals would love nothing more than to be in a cool and loving home during those long hot summer months. Our latest promotion is the Dog Days of Summer. For the months of June, July and August, adoption prices for all animals will be $25. As always, this price will include the cost of spay and neuter surgeries, initial vaccinations, and microchips. This price also includes endless kisses, snuggles on a comfy couch, long walks with a sweet, loving companion, and the fierce loyalty of a life you’ve saved.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Gemini astrologer Astrolocherry says that while Geminis “can appear naive and air-headed to onlookers, their minds usually operate at light speed. They naturally absorb every surrounding particle of intellectual stimuli. They constantly observe their interactions for opportunities to grow their knowledge.” I believe these qualities will function at peak intensity during the next four weeks, Gemini — maybe even beyond peak intensity. Please try to enjoy the hell out of this phase without becoming manic or overwrought. If all goes well, you could learn more in the next four weeks than most people learn in four months. orlandoweekly.com
For most people, summertime in Florida calls to mind images of beautiful, pristine beaches, long vacations, theme park trips, short cool nights, long days in the sun. The reality for Orange County Animal Services, and for shelters across the country, is that summertime simply means more animals. More strays brought in. More pets surrendered.
●
Dogs have a way of finding the people that need them, and this summer, all our dogs need you. Don’t forget about them, the strays, the abandoned, the surrendered ones. They deserve their days in the sun too. Orange County Animal Services is located at 2769 Conroy Road in Orlando, near the Mall at Millenia. The shelter is open 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 1-5 p.m. Sunday. For more information, please call 407-836-3111 or visit ocnetpets.com. JULY 20-26, 2022 ● ORLANDO WEEKLY

Q: Gay dude here. What the fuck is up with monkeypox? Do I need to be worried? A: Yes, you do. I tried to raise the alarm about monkeypox on the May 24, 2022, episode of the “Savage Lovecast,” back when there were 100 cases in 15 countries, all of them among gay and bi men. Now there are more than 5,000 cases all over the world, and almost all of them — more than 99% of cases — are among gay and bi men. “Right now, it’s behaving very much like an STI — and almost all of the cases have been among men who have sex with men,” says Dr. Ina Park, a professor at the University of California San Francisco School of Medicine and Medical Consultant at the Centers for Disease Control Division of STD Prevention. Monkeypox, Dr. Park explains, is the milder, gentler cousin to smallpox, and is spread by skin-to-skin contact or through respiratory droplets. “But anyone who comes into close contact with someone who has monkeypox could catch it,” Dr. Park says. “And unlike other STIs which don’t live for very long outside the body, monkeypox can live for weeks on infected clothing, bedding, and other surfaces — think dildos, slings, fetish gear — and barriers such as condoms worn over the penis or inside the rectum will protect those areas, but they don’t prevent transmission to other exposed parts of the body. If you notice red painful bumps anywhere on you or your partner’s body — especially the genital/anal area — or if you are exposed to monkeypox, get checked out right away. The sooner you get vaccinated, the better. Check out some resources for monkeypox here.” (And follow Dr. Park on Twitter @InaParkMd.) OK, that was a quickie question but a long answer. Now onto quickier quickies. Q: How soon is too soon to say “I love you” for the first time? A: On your first date, right after a stranger from an app shows up at your door, during your first threesome with that hot couple you just met at a bar — too soon. Even if you’re already feeling it, even if you’re crazy enough to think they might be feeling it already too, you should wait at least six months to say it. But you know what? Once you’ve said it —
once you’ve said “I love you” for the first time — feel free to backdate that shit. Go ahead and say, “I wanted to say it before the entrée even came on our first date,” or, “I wanted to say it when you showed up looking better than your pics,” or, “I wanted to say it when you both came inside me simultaneously.” Q: Is it an overreaction for me, a cis woman who lives in Wisconsin and doesn’t want kids, to not want to have sex with my fiancé since the ruling on abortion? I’ve tried to explain to him that it’s a lot to come to terms with. A: Each of us grieves in our own way, and at our own pace. If you’re not feeling sexy right now because of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade — if the chance of an unplanned pregnancy in Wisconsin, where a law from 1849 banning abortion can now be enforced, dries you up — that’s totally understandable. And if your fiancé is anxious to get back to penetrative sex, well, pegging counts. Q: A submissive guy reached out to me via my pretty tame Instagram and wants to send me money and wants nothing in return. Should I say no to this? A: In this economy? Q: New to weed. Best edible for sex? A: Ass. Q: What is it called when a guy jacks off into his own mouth while he’s upside down? Is there are term for that? A: I don’t think that has a name. Any suggestions, class? Q: Being spanked until I’m sobbing is the only way I’ve ever been able to get off. I masturbate after while being held. It’s literally the only thing that has ever worked for me and my boyfriend of two years won’t do it. Don’t just tell me to dump him. I love him. He is also against opening the relationship. Help? For the answer to the above question, go to savage.love/savagelove to read the rest of the column. And write to Dan at questions @savagelove.net.
