Flood losses and insurance claims from Hurricane Ian reach astronomical numbers, Aramis Ayala aims to unseat Ashley Moody, Orlando FreeFall to be taken down following death of teen and more news you may have missed

» Uninsured flood losses from Hurricane Ian expected to top $10 billion

Floridians could have more than $10 billion in uninsured flood losses due to severe damage and flooding from Hurricane Ian, according to an analysis by CoreLogic, a property-information and analytics firm. The analytics firm further estimates that Florida could see $30 billion to $48 billion in insured wind and flood losses in the state. This is due to the fact that most Floridians don’t have flood insurance which is a requirement if they are a resident with mortgages on properties. As a result, many housing markets are facing a hard time adjusting to the aftermath of the devastating storm. Insurance claims continue to rise in Florida’s troubled property insurance industry but there is some good news in the aftermath of Ian, as the Fitch Ratings agency said that there is “minimal and short-lived” damage to toll roads, ports and airports. Many Florida airports and ports have reopened since the storm with Southwest Florida Regional Airport expected to open soon.

» Hurricane Ian insurance claims top 400,000

The Florida Office of Insurance Regulation released data that showed 408,078 claims have been filed since the damage and flooding of Hurricane Ian. There are estimated insured losses of $3.66 billion as claims continue to be filed after Ian wrought severe damage to many areas in Florida. The data also showed that 11,618 claims had been closed with payments made while 14,611 claims had been closed without payments.

» Central Florida woman at center of investigation into DeSantis migrant stunt

A former Army combat medic from San Antonio is a “person of interest” in Bexar County’s criminal investigation into flights that stranded migrants in Martha’s Vineyard. Bexar County Sheriff’s Office is looking into the mystery woman, identified as Perla H. Huerta, who lured asylum seekers onto planes bound for Martha’s Vineyard as part of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ cruel publicity stunt. DeSantis responded to Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar’s investigation, saying that the migrants willingly boarded the flights. However, lawyers in Massachusetts representing the migrants have pushed back at that claim, arguing that the brochure and paperwork given to migrants by Huerta were deceptive.

» Former Orlando State Attorney aims to unseat Florida AG Ashley Moody

Aramis Ayala, former Orlando-area State Attorney, is looking to unseat Republican Attorney General Ashley Moody, saying she wants the attorney general to be independent from Tallahassee machinations. However, Moody doesn’t see Ayala as a threat as University of Central Florida political-science professor Aubrey Jewett puts it, Ayala doesn’t necessarily align with the views of the red state of Florida. Considering Moody is favored by many Republican political officials such as Gov. Ron DeSantis and former President Donald Trump, Ayala has a “longshot” campaign as she has raised less than $30,000 in the first weeks after her primary victory while Moody has raised $8.13 million since the start of 2019.

» Florida Supreme Court delays case determining whether cops can be considered victims when they shoot someone The Florida Supreme Court has postponed the 2018 constitutional amendment known as “Marsy’s Law” for the third time. The law was invoked by two Tallahassee police officers to protect their identities after a use-of-force shooting incident in which they argued that they were, in fact, victims. News organizations joined with the city of Tallahassee in demanding the release of the officers’ names. However, the case is delayed once more until a decision is finalized.

» Orlando FreeFall to be taken down following death of Missouri teen

Following the death of Missouri teen Tyre Simpson after falling from Icon Park’s Orlando FreeFall ride, the Orlando Slingshot group announced that the ride will be taken down permanently. Orlando Slingshot said in a press release that they are devastated by the young boy’s death and will honor his legacy with a scholarship in his name. Sampson’s death caused protests, investigations and lawsuits after he fell from the ride in spring. Icon Park supported Orlando Slingshot’s decision to take down the ride.

» Visit Florida filming blue skies across the state for postHurricane Ian tourism campaign

Visit Florida, a tourism marketing agency, is launching a new campaign after Hurricane Ian caused devastation across the state. The agency is aiming to counterbalance images of the damage in the media by showing blue sky footage of unaffected areas of Florida as part of a promotional campaign. So far the agency has recorded images from cities in Florida including Orlando, Miami and Tampa and plans to film in St. Augustine and the Florida Keys. “This content, along with PR (public relations) programming and talking points, will be ready to go when the time is right for statewide promotion, including banner ads, video and social (media),” Visit Florida said in a news release. A package for the heavily impacted areas is also under development.

BIG TROUBLE NEAR THE LITTLE ECON RIVER

Hurricane Ian is gone, but students who lived in apartments near UCF are trying to pick up the pieces of their lives

BY ERIC TEGETHOFF

The horror Hurricane Ian has left in its wake surpasses anything you’ll find at Universal Studios on a spooky October night. Well over a week after the storm swept through, people are still picking up the pieces and salvaging what’s left, including students in vulnerable apartments near the University of Central Florida.

Historic flooding was the storm’s main agent of destruc tion in Orlando. Dramatic shots of Lake Eola show just how much water fell. That was the case in even more dramatic fashion on the eastern edge of the city near UCF. On the morning of Sept. 29, the waters rose quickly in apartments near the university — so quickly, in fact, that the National Guard was called in and airboat rescues were necessary. Once the waters receded, those residents have found their belongings waterlogged and useless, sitting in mold-filled rooms.

At The Place at Alafaya, a large complex across the street from the UCF campus, the lowest-lying apartments were soaked nearly above their doorways. Residents in other parts of the complex saw walls of water rushing their way. Cars submerged during the storm sit lifeless in the parking

lot. And the residents themselves — many of them students at UCF or Valencia College — are scrambling to find new places to live.

The floodwaters caught many by surprise. And it has left some residents to wonder why they didn’t receive more warning before the destructive hurricane wreaked havoc on their homes.

In the days leading up to the hurricane, residents say they received messages from The Place, which is owned by the Texas-based company South Oxford Management. One resident, a 19-year-old Valencia student who requested anonymity to avoid potential legal ramifications, described one such letter.

“It just was telling us what a hurricane warning was and that they might not be available for assistance,” the resident, who will be referred to as E, told Orlando Weekly. “And that we should take responsibility for ourselves and our personal property and evacuate if we’re told to.”

boyfriend woke up to light rain on Sept. 29 and still had power, at least until about 8:30 a.m. Not long after, they saw a column of water heading toward their first-floor apartment.

“I started gathering what I could, getting my pets. My boyfriend was making sure that we would be able to get out and get to our car.” E says that in about 20 or 30 minutes, the water went from covering her feet to waist level, at which point they left. Hours later, she got the official message to evacuate from The Place. “By the time it was 1:15,” she says. “The back of the neighborhood was already severely flooded.”

The most heavily impacted apartments were on Wagon Road, a street completely contained within the sprawling complex and on its southern side. A UCF student who lived on the road — she also wishes to remain anonymous and will be referred to as N — says she’s been a Florida resident for about six years but hadn’t experienced a hurricane like this before.

“I think I adopted that Floridian mindset,” N told Orlando Weekly. “Where it’s like, ‘Oh, it’s not going to be that bad. I just have to stock up on food. I have to stock up on water.’ That kind of thing.”

N hadn’t considered evacuating. But on the night of Sept. 28, water started to trickle under her door. She and her roommate ignored it at first. However, in the early morning when a neighbor knocked on the door and suggested they move their cars, the reality of the situation began to sink in.

Afraid to head out on their own, N called her father to pick them up. While they waited, they tried to move their possessions up from the ground. Her neighbors invited them upstairs to escape the rising waters.

“I opened the front door and just water flooded into my apartment. It was really a struggle to get it closed.”

N says when her father arrived, the water was waist deep and a chaotic scene was taking place outside. In true Florida fashion, she saw a man navigating the flooded parking lot on a surfboard.

“I saw a guy crawling out of his window to get out because his apartment level on Wagon Road was a lot lower than mine,” N says. “It was a really heartbreaking thing to see.”

In the end, N lost nearly all her belongings to water. Even her car, which she’d moved, was submerged.

Evan Edwards, a 24-year-old student at Valencia, was also in his first-floor apartment when the water started rising. “I actually ran out and started helping people carry pets and stuff like that,” Edwards told Orlando Weekly. “But then I realized more water was coming in. I had a little bit of time to pack a go bag. So I was fortunate.”

Still, Edwards left most of his possessions behind. If he counts himself lucky, it’s because of the damage he saw to other buildings. The flooding waters approached from the eastern end of the complex on Wagon Road, which backs up to a field near the Little Econlockhatchee River. The river winds its way through the area — near other apartments like Arden Villas on University Boulevard where, like The Place, the National Guard was called in to help people escape the inundation.

At The Place, a week after the storm, piles of furniture are still stacked on the lawns outside people’s doors. Inside apartments, the stench of mold is overpowering. Dark lines of mulch mark how high the water got. At the building clos est to the fence where the waters rushed in, the line nearly reaches the tops of door frames.

Edwards says he made it all the way to that building to check on fellow residents during the storm and fortunately found that everyone on the first floor had gone upstairs.

“I was swimming over cars,” he says. “Literally swimming over the top of them.”

Ian made landfall in Southwest Florida on Sept. 28. As the storm made its way north through the night, fears of a highwind event like Hurricane Charley dissipated. E and her [continued on page 11]

During Hurricane Irma in 2017, The Place experienced flooding, although it was on a much smaller scale than Ian. Yet, for many residents, some of whom only recently learned about the flooding five years ago, it begs the question: Why was the complex not better prepared this time around?

Holly Johnson, vice president of market ing at South Oxford Management, explained in an email exchange with OW that managers sent messages to residents in the days leading up to the hurricane, letting them know that flooding was a possibility and that they should move their vehicles to higher ground.

“We informed residents of the importance of monitoring the County Warning System regarding storm updates and encouraged them to be prepared to follow any poten tial evacuation orders,” Johnson says. “We experienced unprecedented flooding in previously unflooded areas.”

But even in those areas that had been inundated before, South Oxford Management has no legal obligation to inform residents before they move in about the property’s flood history. That’s because Florida law doesn’t demand it.

Laws that require sellers to disclose a home’s history or risk of flooding have become increasingly common across the country. (Although Florida and 20 other states continue to hold out.) Laws that require landlords to tell renters about flood risks are far less common. Only seven states have this protection for renters, according to an analysis by the think tank Next100.

The most recent law passed was in Texas in the wake of heavy flooding from Hurricane Harvey.

Information about the UCF area’s flood risk is available in other ways. The Federal Emergency Management Agency maps these hazards. With its online mapping tool, a search of The Place shows three of its build ings and sections of two others at the end of Wagon Road are in an “AE Flood Zone.”

That is, areas with a one percent chance of flooding each year, typically located near floodplains, rivers or lakes. This higher risk zone extends across the small plain near the Little Econ River, which is also the backyard of other apartment complexes in the area like Arden Villas.

Residents at The Place say this knowl edge would have been useful to have when they moved in, perhaps prompting them to evacuate sooner.

It also would have been important when they chose their renter’s insurance. Many have found theirs doesn’t include flood pro tection.

“They didn’t even recommend flood insurance to us,” E says. “If we would have had that recommended, we would have made sure that we had a policy with flood insurance.”

Many residents have been left to rely on FEMA assistance. Johnson at South Oxford Management says her company has helped facilitate claims, including appealing deni als.

The housing needs are also urgent. “We have partnered with over 30 apartment

Come Out With Pride celebrations are in full bloom, with plenty to do and see this weekend. The theme for 2022 is “A Place for Us,” reflecting a commitment to inclusion, with the events providing a moment of respite and celebration in the year of “Don’t Say Gay” and anti-trans legistation in Florida. Come Out With Pride has been going strong for 18 years and is still fresh as a daisy after all these years.

We’ve put together a handy listing of this year’s events, and took a closer look at the Grand Marshals of this year’s Pride Parade. We also talked with Orlando Rep. Carlos Guillermo Smith about the challenges facing our local LGBTQ+ community.

Come Out With Pride is upon us. Here’s our look at this year’s highlights

CONSCIENCE OF THE COMMUNITY

Orlando Rep. Carlos Guillermo Smith talks about Come Out With Pride in the year of “Don’t Say Gay”

BY ERIC TEGETHOFF

Orlando’s Come Out With Pride is here, and the celebrations are taking place in the midst of trying times for LGBTQ folks here in Florida. In the past year, Gov. Ron DeSantis and state lawmakers have become increasingly emboldened in their attacks on this com munity. Along with the passage of the Parents’ Rights in Education Act — or the “Don’t Say Gay” law — the DeSantis administration recently banned Medicaid reimbursements for gender-affirming care, which is expected to impact about 9,000 transgender Floridians. It’s just the latest assault from a governor seeking attention on the national stage. With the state’s rising hostility toward LGBTQ people as a backdrop, Orlando Weekly spoke with crusading Orlando Rep. Carlos Guillermo Smith about how Pride fits into this picture, as well as his personal connections to this Orlando tradition.

What does Pride mean for you?

I love Orlando Pride, not only because of the fact that it’s such an awesome celebration of who we are as an inclusive and affirming community for LGBTQ people, but also because I’ve participated in Pride every year for as long as I can remember. My husband actually proposed to me on stage [at the Disney bandshell] a few years ago at Pride. So I hold that memory very close to my heart and associate my engagement with Pride every year.

Governor Ron DeSantis continues his attacks on trans folks in Florida. What are your thoughts on his administration’s recent assaults on that com munity?

Right now in Florida, our governor is attacking the freedom of trans people to exist. He has turned the existence of trans and non-binary folks into some sort of political debate. It’s not a political debate. But that’s what makes this year’s Pride even more important — because it’s our opportunity, especially the trans communities, to be very visible, to celebrate their identities, and the fact that we have a very inclusive and affirming community here in Orlando. And that gives this year’s Pride a bit of extra meaning, I think.

Do you see the governor’s attacks as a somewhat cynical way to drum up support from his base?

Oh, absolutely. Ron DeSantis has used LGBTQ people — queer youth and trans folks in particular — as political pawns to advance his own ambitions to become president of the United States. That’s very obvious. But what I don’t like doing is using the term culture wars, because culture wars implies that these attacks on LGBTQ people are just a silly political sideshow that doesn’t mean anything. They actually have a harmful impact on people’s lives. They put us in harm’s way and make us targets for the far right, who have been stirred up into a moral panic by this governor. So we need to take these attacks seriously. It’s why it’s really important that we vote, but also so important that we remain visible. Because nowadays, participating in Pride is also an act of defiance, which I think brings us back to our roots on why Pride was started in the first place.

How can Orlandoans get involved to stand up for LGBTQ folks in their community?

Well, I think it’s important that we do more than just encourage people to vote. That is very important, but that’s really the minimum. I think it’s really important for LGBTQ people and allies to be part of the movement and get involved with organizations that are focusing on LGBTQ equality. Organizations like Equality Florida, QLatinx. Supporting groups like the Zebra Coalition that provide shelter for homeless LGBTQ youth. These are important organizations that it’s critical we support during times like these and that we stay engaged with to really be able to make a difference.

How can we support students in the era of the “Don’t Say Gay” law?

I think it’s really, really important that we continue to stay engaged with our local school boards and school districts. Too many school districts across Florida have been misinterpreting the “Don’t Say LGBTQ” law and being more broad with their interpretation of the law, which, of course, is what the supporters intended. They wanted schools to overreact to the “Don’t Say LGBTQ” law in a way that really censored LGBTQ people in schools. So I think it’s important that people also are in touch with their local school boards and school districts to ensure that we continue to provide safe and healthy educational environments in our classrooms for everyone, including queer kids.

You mentioned that Pride, in some ways, is get ting back to its roots in terms of defiance. Do you expect it to be equal parts activism and celebration?

I think we’re gonna see a lot of both. I think we’re gonna see a lot of people at Orlando Pride saying LGBTQ, saying gay, saying trans in defiance of the political environment that was ginned up by Governor Ron DeSantis.

Do you think Hurricane Ian will affect the celebration at all?

A lot of times after a disaster or after a crisis, people gravitate towards celebrations and other outlets for them to participate in — really for cathartic reasons. So I see in the wake of Hurricane Ian that this Pride celebration is going to be just as vibrant, if not more than in years past, because people really need an outlet to be able to celebrate and be with community.

LEADERS OF THE PACK

This year’s lineup of Grand Marshals and performers fills Orlando with Pride

BY MATTHEW MOYER

This year’s lineup of Pride parade grand marshals and Come Out With Pride Festival headliners are a who’s who of important personalities in the local and national LGBTQ+ communities — and a posthumous appointment for an Orlandoan who will be very much missed this year. All, without a doubt, are people the City Beautiful should take pride in.

The Diva Stage during this year’s Pride Festival will see a summit of drag and diva royalty from around Orlando and beyond. Holding up the flag for Orlando glamor will be performers from Southern Nights, Savoy Orlando, Creature Feature, Off the Record, Central Florida Ballroom, the House of San Miguel, the Les Vixens and Mr. Ms. Adrien helming an All Gaga Ball. From the glittering world of RuPaul’s Drag Race comes Lady Camden and Yvie Oddly.

The Dance Stage will feature club vibes and a non-stop sonic parade of DJs all day long, including DJ Scott Robert, DJ T Don and headliner DJ Citizen Jane.

Come Out With Pride is also debuting a third stage — the Hyper Local Zone — spotlighting Orlando-based organizations, musicians, and performers. Confirmed so far are Cesar De La Rosa and Push Love, Free Daps Billy Mick and Hocus Pocus tribute Winnie’s Rock Cauldron. And, sadly, we’ve probably even missed a couple of names because this year’s Festival is beyond stacked.

Now, let’s meet the Grand Marshals of The Most Colorful Parade this year …

Doug Ba’aser

Orlando theater icon Ba’aser passed away earlier this year, but has been posthumously named a grand marshal for this weekend’s parade. “Ba’aser was an absolute legend of the area stage. He was revered by the actors he worked with — both in the ‘legitimate’ theater and at attractions like Sleuths Mystery Dinner Shows — who knew him as a fearless performer who could make any bit better via his impeccable timing and delivery,” wrote OW’s Steve Schneider. “Ba’aser was totally hilarious and opinionated and a fixture in countless people’s lives.”

Shea Cutliff

Central Floridian activist Cutliff is best known for her work with the One Orlando Alliance, the Contigo Fund, as a chapter member of the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition, for founding the R.I.S.E. Initiative, as a familiar face at rallies and protests for abortion rights and trans visibility and that’s only scratching the surface of her tireless efforts for Orlando’s trans community. Cardiff’s brainchild the ‘Real, Inclusion, Sustainable, & Employment Initiative’ is a trans-led organization “with the goal of real employment and sustainable income for Transgender and gender non-conforming persons and returning citizens in the Central Florida area.” Give this grand marshal a round of applause as she passes by.

Will Larkins

It’s very appropriate that student leader and activist Will Larkins is one of this year’s grand marshals. Around the time the Florida legislature passed the controversial “Don’t Say Gay” bill earlier this year, Winter Park High School student Larkins presented a lesson on the Stonewall Riots, a foundational act of civil unrest in the history of the LGBT Pride movement to their highschool class. Word of Larkins’ presentation, delivered in a red cocktail dress and pearls, quickly spread and Larkins ended up writing an opinion piece for the New York Times about the effect of the legislation. That wasn’t the end of the matter, Larkins organized a “Say Gay Anyway” walkout at their school, testified in opposition to the bill in the Florida Senate, and they and their parents were involved in a lawsuit to stop its implementation. Young activists like Larkins are taking up for the entire community, and for that they should be lauded.

Michael James Scott

Orlando native and actor Scott returns to his hometown for another triumphant appearance. The Broadway star who has performed around the world thrilled audiences locally in 2020 with his Christmas show and a starring role as the Genie in the Aladdin musical, both at the Dr. Phil. Now he’ll be helping lead the Pride parade in what has to be a satisfyingly full-circle moment — also his first Come Out With Pride! “I am the product of a community in Orlando, Florida, that really, really supports the arts,” said Scott to OW’s Seth Kubersky. “To be the product of that, of a community that really gives a crap about young artists and the arts in general, just made me so proud.” The indefatigable Scott will also perform as a headliner at the Pride Festival.

After over fifteen years of watching potential challengers to the dominance of Halloween Horror Nights falter, from Nights of Terror to Dark Harbor, I’m thrilled that one of Universal’s competitors has not only returned for a second season, but expanded with extra emphasis on the exact element HHN has been lacking of late. Forget about Freddy vs. Jason and Alien vs. Predator; Halloween Horror Nights vs. SeaWorld’s Howl-O-Scream might be the scariest matchup of all.

I’ve long had a love/hate relationship with Halloween Horror Nights, and my visit to HHN 31 on a rain-soaked Thursday last month mostly solidified my belief that the event is overdue for a shakeup. As always, I’m in awe of the scenic artistry that goes into Universal’s cinema-worthy haunted houses. This year, the bone-chilling Dead Man’s Pier topped my list for its evocative sense of scale and atmosphere, with the mid-century mod ernism-mocking Bugs: Eaten Alive coming in a close second.

However, although the original-concept houses are as imaginatively designed as ever (with the exception of the hasty-feeling Hellblock), the licensed intellectual proper ties HHN is famous for were uneven at best. While the Egyptian-set Legends Collide is Universal’s best Classic Monsters tribute to date, I preferred 2014’s Halloween to this year’s retread, and the Horrors of Blumhouse double feature won’t please or create fans of either film.

The bigger issue is not the designs of the haunts, but their inhabitants — or lack there of. I frequently found long stretches in every house with absent entertainers, and counted more flashlight-waving operations employ ees than scareactors. When performers are present, they’ve largely been reduced to organic audio-animatronics, repeating their jump-scare motions to a looping soundtrack rather than genuinely interacting with the conga-line of guests shuffling by.

Likewise, as the scarezones have grown

more aesthetically elaborate — the candythemed parade floats in New York’s streets are works of art — they’ve devolved into selfie stations with few opportunities for actual frights. The returning Halloween Nightmare Fuel show still boasts fiery danc ers, but the pyrotechnic effects and illusions didn’t wow me as much the second time around. Finally, the entertainment lineup’s best new addition in years — the lagoon’s delightfully old-school Ghoulish! fountain show — is currently on indefinite hiatus due to hurricane damage.

By attending HHN on an inclement offpeak evening, and using my annual pass to take advantage of “Stay & Scream” early access to several haunted houses, I expe rienced six of the 10 before 7 p.m., and finished them all by 11 p.m.. So I can’t person ally complain about long waits. But woe be unto anyone who wanders in on a weekend to find triple-digit waits for The Weeknd’s walkthrough (which won’t make much sense unless you’ve watched all his “After Hours” music videos) and learns that expensive Express passes only cut the queue in half (if that). If you go and the crowds drive you to drink, duck out to CityWalk’s recently resur rected Dead Coconut Club for some classic crooning and cocktails with no cover charge.

If you seek an alternative to HHN, SeaWorld Orlando’s second year of HowlO-Scream has increased its footprint in a credible bid to take a bite out of Universal’s market share. After years of attending Busch Gardens’ Howl-O-Scream, I had limited expectations for Orlando’s sister event, but 2021’s debut demonstrated potential that this HOS has begun to fulfill. To be certain, SeaWorld’s operations still pale in comparison to Universal’s, from confusion at parking and security, to insufficient maps and signage for navigating the labyrinthine fog-shrouded pathways. And HOS offers only five haunted houses — including the

new Blood Beckoning and Siren of the Seas, which join the returning Beneath the Ice among my favorites — to HHN’s ten.

But despite lacking HHN’s lavish level of scenic detail, HOS’ haunts are generously long; experienced in small pulsed groups rather than a perpetual lane; and chock full of creepy characters that don’t merely shriek ad nauseam, but engage in unnerving con versations. As a result, I got far more good scares out of SeaWorld’s five houses than I did in all of Universal’s combined. Similarly, the props surrounding HOS’ seven scare zones may be simpler, but the large number of aggressive actors more than make up for it.

Even better in my book than the houses or zones are Howl-O-Scream’s expanded live shows, which enlist local talents from Imagination House, Odd-O-Ts and WeFlip Entertainment to provide spooky enter tainment with a unique edge. The fearfully entertaining results include a rhythmic Jack the Ripper dance show with powerhouse vocalists; bars with salty Streetmo-style improv and overhead aerialists; and a lipsynch drag cabaret that’s well worth the extra fee to see.

The difference between HHN and HOS can even be seen in the food and beverage offerings. Both feature numerous festival booths serving sinister sweets and savories, but while Universal’s are placed randomly and have menu items that are terrifying in name only (“maggots” are really puffed rice), SeaWorld’s are tied to a neighboring show or house — which are in turn connected in an overarching “evil sea sirens” theme — and offer edible oddities like grasshopper-topped tacos. Halloween Horror Nights is still likely to reign for years to come, but if you’re exhausted by elbow-to-elbow crowds and looking for a better boo value, try howling and screaming over at SeaWorld instead this season.

One of Universal’s competitors has returned for a second spooky season, bigger than before. Forget about Freddy vs. Jason; Halloween Horror Nights vs. SeaWorld’s HowlO-Scream might be the scariest match-up of all

ISLAND TIME

Honolulu Harry’s modern Hawaiian fusion brings island freshness to College Park

BY BAO LE-HUU

You don’t go with a name like Honolulu Harry’s without wanting to set a vibe. While there’s no loco moco, plate lunches or poi here, there are indeed distinctly Hawaiian flourishes at this young restaurant. And they do lean in on the Spam, so due cred there.

Rather than any traditional take on Hawaiian cuisine, the fusion fare at Honolulu Harry’s injects that vernacular into the con temporary American bistro menu. A casual but modern attitude permeates the place’s mien, from the décor to the cocktail bar. And it’s breathing some fresh island breezes into College Park.

Situated centrally on the ground floor of the Wellesley next to Armando’s, Honolulu Harry’s occupies a prime location. Besides a restaurant, it aspires to be a neighborhood hang, which suits the Edgewater Drive strip well. They keep lei surely hours from mid-afternoon until midnight (with happy hours from 3-6 p.m. and 9 p.m.-midnight), opening wider on Saturdays and Sundays with brunch service from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. There’s even some social programming like trivia nights.

The cocktail menu is, of course, island-

themed with craft interpretations of classic drinks like the Mai Tai ($14) and daiquiri ($12), both of which can be had for a door buster steal ($5) during happy hour.

On their small bites menu, the most unique offering are the seared Spam fries ($12), which feature cut strips of the WWII-era American product that’s become a Hawaiian delicacy, served poking out of a real Spam tin. The dip — a creamy chipotle garlic sauce topped with micro greens — isn’t just complementary but necessary to temper the Spam salt bomb. Request extra. It’s basically an entire can of Spam, so please share this big, heavy appetizer, says your heart.

The tacos, on the other hand, are more sensibly sized but gen erously stuffed. They’re also some of the best pound-for-pound plates here, with smart flavor combinations that pop and sing. Of the two I tried, the slow cooked pork taco ($6) is a star. Tucked into a flour tortilla, the tasty and tender braised pork is crowned with a mélange of fresh pineapple slaw, creamy slaw and pickled onion, then drizzled with chipotle aioli and topped with micro greens. It’s a bite that hits all the notes and textures.

Despite the heftier ingredient profile with black beans and corn, the jerk chicken taco ($6) doesn’t eat heavy thanks to bright hits like fresh tomato, red pepper and zingy sauce. The jerk seasoning is there but tame enough even for spice weenies.

The sliders here are more basically dressed than the lively tacos. Their signature Harry’s Hawaiian sliders ($12) are two miniature Hawaiian sweet-roll hoagies filled with seared Spam patties topped with pineapple slaw, chopped greens and aioli. Simpler but still good.

Honolulu’s Harry’s mains are primarily rice bowls and are probably the most hand some presentations on the menu. The ahi poke bowl ($20) is a dazzling kaleidoscope of red (seasoned tuna poke), green (edamame and avocado cubes), purple (red onion and orchid), orange (mango), white (sticky rice and creamy ginger wasabi aioli) and black (sesame seeds). The drizzle’s a little heavyhanded for a raw fish dish, but it’s a feast for the eyes.

The better main is the huli huli pulled chicken bowl ($16), which tops rice with deliciously marinated chicken that’s flanked by lightly caramelized pineapple chunks and sliced sweet plantains and topped with pick led onions and their mildly spicy dragon aioli. It can skew a little sweet so make sure that lovely onion gets in the mix.

Honolulu Harry’s strikes a nice, current balance of relaxed comfort and fresh flair. It’s a novel addition to the College Park scene, with food and cocktails that are approachable but pack enough craft, quality and identity to stand out from the crowded pack.

Film & Video Production: Why Filmmakers Should Care About Stories

“True storytelling activates things within yourself that you didn’t know existed,” says Pedro Cohen, director of the Digital Film & Video Production campus program at Orlando’s F.I.R.S.T. Institute. “So much of who we are is shaped by storytelling.”

Pedro’s passion for storytelling has carried him across several continents. As a filmmaker he has studied and worked in Venezuela, Spain, and the U.S. He moved to Orlando in December of 2018. “When you’ve had first-hand experience with several different cultures,” he explains, “you start to notice that a lot of the behavior in a society as a whole comes down to the stories a culture it’s built around.”

Despite being a talented actor and cinematographer, Pedro considers himself a storyteller first. That’s because, in his words, “cinematography and sound design can make you feel things, but storytelling can make you take action.” Pedro hopes that by sharing certain stories with his students at F.I.R.S.T. Institute, they will be

motivated to act on their passions and convictions. After all, he says, “a great story can change a life.”

Although Pedro has worked on an impressive list of feature films, documentaries, short films, music videos, and commercials, he considers the work he is doing for the students at F.I.R.S.T. to be the most important role of his career.

“Film students today have far more opportunities than previous generations of students,” he says “the demand for content is higher than it’s ever been, and on top of that we’re living in a time when almost every individual has access to production and distribution tools that aren’t far off from what the major studios are using. I am very optimistic about the future of the industry.”

F.I.R.S.T. Institute is a premier digital media school headquartered in Orlando, Florida. F.I.R.S.T. offers hands-on experience for students in both online and on-campus options.

ON (small) SCREENS IN ORLANDO

Streaming premieres you won’t want to miss by Steve Schneider

PREMIERES WEDNESDAY:

Belascoarán, P.I. — The Mexico City of the 1970s is the setting for a crime series whose title character quits his corporate job and “dull marriage” to become a private investigator. I bet his first case doesn’t concern missing ali mony payments. (Netflix)

Big Shot — Season 2 finds John Stamos’ Coach Korn trying to get his girls’ basketball team on ESPN by recruiting a trouble-prone player from the world of volleyball. Just as long as she didn’t steal $75 million from welfare, because then that station wouldn’t mention her at all. (Disney+)

Easy Bake Battle — Amateur chefs compete for a $100,000 prize by whipping up delicacies in a Hasbro Easy Bake Oven. Sorry if you saw the title and got excited because you thought there was now a cooking competition specifically for stoners. (Netflix)

I Love You, You Hate Me — This docuseries uses the widespread antipathy toward Barney the purple dinosaur as a symbol of the impulse to hate that’s supposedly tearing our civilization apart. So world peace and harmony depend upon passively accepting the punishingly insipid? Sounds like a certain streaming service isn’t terribly confident about its upcoming kids’ shows! (Peacock)

PREMIERES THURSDAY:

Dark Glasses — Dario Argento’s first horror film in 10 years has a little Chinese boy helping a blind prostitute run from a serial killer. It’s probably not the best time to point out that

Argento’s daughter, Asia, who also appears in the flick, is an unrepentant child molester. Hope she didn’t have any script notes. (Shudder)

Dead End: Paranormal Park — In Season 2 of this animated hit, the kids shoulder the responsibility of being named the park’s Demon Clean-up Crew. Which may sound daunting, but on the list of most stressful Halloween Horror Nights jobs, it rates about a 4. (Netflix)

Exception — The sci-fi/horror side of anime is explored in a series that follows the human race into the cosmos to find a new home planet. Sure you want to make the move right now, guys? The market is a bitch. (Netflix)

The Playlist — Did we really need a series dramatization of the creation of Spotify? Somebody apparently thought so, and I’ll wager that somebody liked The Social Network for all the wrong reasons. I’ll only be interested if they show the company principals deciding their artist royalty rate by flicking hot pennies at homeless people. (Netflix)

She Will — The great Alice Krige plays a woman who develops psychic powers of revenge after she undergoes a double mastectomy. I wish something cool like that had happened after they took my gallbladder out, but all I got was the runs whenever I eat at Krystal. (Shudder)

Someone Borrowed — It’s hard to believe Brazil has taken so long to get on board with the trope “perennial single type convinces someone to pose as their romantic partner for $$$.” But now that they have, via this self-styled heart-

tugger of a feature, maybe the industry can finally move on to ripping off other episodes of That Girl. (Netflix)

Sue Perkins: Perfectly Legal — The British mul timedia personality travels to South America to witness all the dodgy behavior you can get away with there and still enjoy the protection of the law. The show would have been out sooner, but three of the camera operators’ wives disappeared under mysterious circumstances. (Netflix)

The Watcher — The frustratingly inexhaust ible Ryan Murphy presents yet another original series, in which Naomi Watts and Bobby Cannavale play a married couple tormented by a mysterious stalker in their New Jersey town. The show is based on a real case that played out 10 minutes from where I grew up and has never been solved, but I don’t want you to read anything into the fact that I’m writing these words 1,000 miles from there. (Netflix)

PREMIERES FRIDAY:

The Curse of Bridge Hollow — Damon Wayans, Kelly Rowland and Stranger Things’ Priah Ferguson star in a family comedy about an evil spell that causes a neighborhood’s Halloween decorations to come to life. What did they expect for that $185 they spent at Spirit, insur ance? (Netflix)

Everything Calls for Salvation — The memoirs of the briefly institutionalized Daniele Mencarelli become an Italian miniseries that shows what wonders a week in enforced psychiatric care can do for the human soul. Now if we could

just get that new prime minister of theirs to stop squirming and put her hands through the straps. (Netflix)

Holy Family — The protective impulses of motherhood are pushed to their limit in a Spanish thriller series that sees a woman and her baby moving to Madrid to escape the secrets in their past. Well, not the baby’s past, per se. Because what could it have gotten up to already? (Netflix)

Rosaline — Here’s a fresh take on the legend of Romeo and Juliet: What if Juliet’s cousin had dated Romeo first, and tried to win him back? Could be a fun story. But I hope they don’t mess with the original’s happy ending. (Hulu)

Shantaram — After escaping from prison, a Westerner finds an unexpected calling as a medic to the poor in the Bombay of the 1980s. “Yeah, that sounds like a lot more fun than Mexico,” says Tim Robbins, barely suppressing a snicker. (Apple TV+)

Take 1 — Some of the top music artists on the South Korean scene take part in a reality series that gives them one pass only at pulling off the greatest performance of their career. Please God, let this be the mashup of “We Are the World” and Squid Game we’ve all been waiting for. (Netflix)

PREMIERES MONDAY:

The Paloni Show! Halloween Special! — Rick and Morty creator Justin Roiland revives a concept he failed to sell to Fox 13 years ago, turning it into a compendium of Halloweenthemed shorts hosted by a squabbling family. If you’ve had anything lying around since 2009 you think might still be good, please consider Mercari. (Hulu)

Waffles + Mochi’s Restaurant — This season, the puppets open their very own eatery, invit ing guests like Michelle Obama to share the benefits of a sensible diet. And to dish about what they think is really in Ivana Trump’s coffin. (Netflix)

PREMIERES TUESDAY:

Batwheels — Hot on the (w)heels of last month’s preview movie, here’s a full series in which the Batmobile, the Batwing and other crime-fighting vehicles are sentient creatures determined to do their part in the war against crime. The target audience is preschoolers — which is animation-industry code for “grownups on acid.” (HBO Max)

Gabriel Iglesias: Stadium Fluffy — In the first-ever comedy concert to be held at L.A.’s Dodger Stadium, local boy Iglesias remembers what it was like to grow up in that very neigh borhood. For one thing, I bet nobody could have afforded to go to a concert at Dodger Stadium. (Netflix)

Unsolved Mysteries: Volume 3 — Three bonechilling true tales per week will be parceled out between now and Nov. 1. Hmmm … a third season consisting of three-story episodes for three weeks? I’m sensing a theme here. (For her part, Lauren Boebert is sure it adds up to the Number of the Beast.) (Netflix)

NORMAN WESTBERG

QUIET REVOLUTION

Swans guitarist Norman Westberg shows a very different side of his musical life in Orlando this weekend

BY KYLE EAGLE

Forty years spent fighting the good fight for music that’s on the left side of the dial, Norman Westberg has been a stalwart of what one could say is true alternative music, the kind that isn’t led by trends and tends to dig deeper into the depths of the psyche.

Westberg does it well and at a prolific pace, primarily as the longtime guitarist for the influential band Swans, along with a laundry list of collaborators on his own projects that range from industrial noise, deconstructed rock to compel ling spoken word.

When Timucua Arts Foundation and Modern Music Movement host Westberg on Saturday, we’ll be treated to yet another side of his art, one that he’s been exploring over the last several years: atmospheric soundtracks for imaginary landscapes.

His recent recordings, Drag Acid #8 and the compilation, Hallow Ground presents: Epiphanies along with his earlier Short Songs for the Long Winter attest to this cerebral direc tion beautifully. Westberg’s brand of ambient isn’t long tuneless abstractions, but scenes set to recurring melodies and themes that peak and valley sometimes dramatically and other times subtly.

Adding to Westberg’s performance in making this a mustsee event are opening acts the Fond offshoot Vestis and — wait for it — Eyelight! The first performance after a 20-year hiatus! If you remember Jehn Cerron’s performanc es from the heady ’90s, you’ve not forgotten the ethereal spells woven by layering and looping her voice, leaving audiences in rapt silence and awe. Eyelight was ahead of the curve of what we take for granted nowadays in the adventur-

ous music of Julianna Barwick, Grouper and Stars of the Lid. This Central Florida innovator’s return to the stage makes for a great pairing with Westberg’s richly creative work.

For Westberg, the Timucua date will be in the middle of an East Coast tour and he took a moment to speak to Orlando Weekly about it.

What is the audience going to experience when you play here?

Well you’ll hear my thing, I’ll have a few shows under my belt during this tour. I try to have a conversation with the audience and get them to enjoy it and relax people.

So we can expect it to be like the ambient atmospheric records you’ve been doing over the last several years?

Yes, that’s what it is, I stand there with my guitar and my pedalboard, I mess with what’s happening. I call it planned improvisation. I have it planned out, but it’s improv. I don’t always know what’s going to happen and different things will make me go to different places. Each show is different.

Does the music evolve as the tour goes on?

Well, one show I was booked at … the Milton Art Bank in Milton, Pennsylvania, with the Douglas Dunn Dancers. There’s a lot of choreography, it’s a really cool thing and his dancers will work off me and each other.

Let’s go back to what you called your music: ‘planned improvisation.’ How does that work for you?

I just start to play. Often at home I’ll have my ideas for the music and then changes will come and I’ll remember to add them into the live set. If you pay attention, there are two parts to my sets. You can hear the songs that I’ve recorded and in between is the music I created at the moment. I really enjoy playing those two parts.

What’s the overall mood of these performances?

Well I try to make it relaxing … that’s the mood. I try to disappear. Something you can’t really do in a rock band, in the Swans I try to play more subtly but with this I try to make movements by piling on layers of sound.

Is there anything you’d like the readers to know that maybe we didn’t cover?

Wow. That’s a tough one. I hope people come out and really enjoy it, and get it. There are always a few people who come out and don’t get it. Swans fans who’ve never heard something like this kind of music. Often they come expect ing something else and come away with being turned on to a new type of music. Just like when I heard Stars of the Lid for the first time or Popol Vuh. Which would be some good comparisons to what you’ll hear. Not that I wanted to do that, what they did.

Understood.

Here’s something for the audience, what you hear is that I’m not trying to be anything, I’m just doing what I do. I don’t really go for labels. I don’t know what to label it. I put labels on the music when I post stuff on Bandcamp. I’m doing it because I like it, like something I’d like to go see. Much the same way KISS formed the kind of band they wanted to see.

LOCAL RELEASES

Many in the scene will remember local band Yogurt Smoothness. What they’ve become since, however, has been a considerably more obscure and convoluted path.

For years, these hard-charging grunge traditionalists were one of the area’s leading flagbearers of the great two-piece rock band tradition. After a phase of waning activity, they briefly morphed into Death Crusher (or sometimes DTHKRVSHR, just to add another kink to the journey) for a couple of quiet years. Most recently, for the past year, the two original Yogurt Smoothness members have added a permanent bassist to become new band Trash Cinema. Phew, so here we are.

Now, they’ve solidified enough to release a proper debut as Trash Cinema. The three songs of their upcoming self-titled EP signal the clearest break from the strict grunge template that guitarist-singer Danilo Krkljus and drummer Brian Stabile have used as their lodestar since the beginning.

With Trash Cinema, they’re still in full hard-rock mode. But the horsepower under this new hood is more channeled and propulsive than Yogurt Smoothness’ feral instincts. There’s plenty of bruising muscle here to kick proper ass, they’re just flexing it with more clarity and less straight revivalism.

The EP releases everywhere Friday (Oct. 14). But, better yet, go experience the full force live at their release show this weekend over in Melbourne (8 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 15, Iron Oak Post, $5) alongside Nilah Lois, Lily of the Valley and notable Orlando noiserock weirdos Franchise.

CONCERT PICKS THIS WEEK

Rainbow House — Orlando Pride

Official Saturday Party: Saturday’s Pride Festival downtown is always one of the best community events all year. But the real adult partying will happen after the parade with this big dance bash. Besides a special appearance by Lady Camden from RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 14, the international DJ lineup will feature DJs TDon (Dallas), Seth Breezy (Atlanta), Morabito (New York) and GSP (Greece). With a clothes check for revelers looking to dance in their jock or underwear, it’s gonna get good and wild. Come, um, hang out. (8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 15, Ace Cafe, $30-$120)

Gillian Carter Record Release with Malevich, 430 Steps, Days Spent: Orlando post-hardcore trailblazers Gillian Carter recently reemerged with their first new material in four years with three new songs. But that was just a warm-up. The just-released Salvation Through Misery is a fresh 12-song onslaught of their dynamic fury. They’re one of the most bleeding-edge

heavy bands around and this long-awaited new material should explode heads live. (8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 15, Uncle Lou’s, $10-$12)

Old Crow Medicine Show, Gov’t Mule: While Gov’t Mule are fixtures on the jam and festival circuits, it’s a rarer occurrence to have co-headlining string-band revivalists Old Crow Medicine Show come through here. Moreover, these modern kings of old-time Americana are coming on an impressive current album (Paint This Town) that packs a notably conscious nerve with messages of inclusion and salutes to figures like abolitionist John Brown and Black roots-music gods DeFord Bailey, Robert Johnson and Charley Pride. (5 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 15, Apopka Amphitheater, $49.50-$84.50)

The In-Between Series presents Jaap Blonk: When I first saw this Dutch vocal wonder perform, it took me a while to actually process what he was doing enough to even write about it. But on the spot, I knew it was original and genius. He’s a vocalist, not a singer, and uses his voice and body to create a stunning range of sounds that he strings together in a whirlwind of avantgarde insanity and performance art. If you combined Michael Winslow and Rahzel, you still wouldn’t be anywhere near the Jaap Blonk experience. (7 p.m. Monday, Oct. 17, CityArts, $5)

We Were Promised Jetpacks, Breakup Shoes: Scottish indie rockers We Were Promised Jetpacks are always great live, with enough tall drama and rich emotion to swallow rooms whole. But go early for notable Phoenix openers Breakup Shoes, whose pillowy and pristine melodies make for some excellently swooning indie pop. Top to bottom, this is a quality bill.

Turnstile

To headbang or not to headbang, that is the question. With apologies to the Bard, it’ll be pretty hard not to with Turnstile’s hardcore anthems and jangle-pop gems that feel like transcendence in the mosh pit. Meaty power chords smothered with some dreamy soundscapes await at the House of Blues this week. The hardcore group will be supported by cue internal eeping — a returning Snail Mail and an unnamed “special guest.” Turnstile’s versatile tunes are filled with smart musical integrations bursting with sparkling synths that provide relief from chugging guitars, and floor-stomping drums that pair perfectly with reverberant and deceptively lulling guitar riffs. We’ll see you in the pit. 6 p.m., House of Blues, Disney Springs, houseofblues.com, $35$77.75 — Melisa Perez-Carrillo

Flaming Lips captured the uncertain pandemic zeitgeist around live shows in 2021, when both band and fans were encased in plastic bubbles for some of their concerts in Oklahoma. Now here we are in 2022 and we’ve been informed by the higher-ups that the pandemic is over, so the bubbles are in storage and the band is getting back in touch with fans. Their show Friday at Hard Rock Live will be the first(!) date in a stretch of shows that will see them play all over North America. They picked a friendly city to work out any musical kinks. Local Lips heads even staged a live playback of the experimental multi-CD Zaireeka album years ago. Hard to say what to expect with this band, but there certainly will be eye-popping production and an overflowing clutch of to-tier poppy psych-rock. 8 p.m., Hard Rock Live, 6050 Universal Blvd., hardrock.com, $43-$53.50. — Matthew

Trevor Noah

Comedian and Daily Show host (more on that in a moment) Trevor Noah has found himself at a crossroads in his career. Where that will ultimately lead is up to him, but for the moment he’s taking the road less trav-

eled to Orlando as part of his rescheduled “Back to Abnormal” tour. Noah made the news just a few days ago by announcing his shock departure from The Daily Show, the comedy/news franchise he’s helmed for seven years. “We’ve laughed together, we’ve cried together. But after seven years I feel like it’s ... time,” Noah said to a stunned audience during a Daily taping. Handpicked by Jon Stewart to be his successor, Noah did incredible work. Whip-smart, impassioned and coming from a “third world perspective” (his words), the show was in great hands during Noah’s tenure. Where he goes next is anyone’s guess. Noah’s Day Zero Productions has nearly 50 projects in the works, and he was a successful standup comedian before, and you’ll see why on Saturday. 8 p.m., Amway Center, 400 W. Church St., amwaycenter.com, $36.50$96.50.

SUNDAY, OCT. 16

Pitbull, Iggy Azalea

Face it, ‘You Can’t Stop Us’ from dancing to the amped-up music from Grammywinning artist Pitbull at the Amway Center this weekend. The Cuban-American rapper brings an impressive discography of hits stretching back to his start in the early 2000s. Pitbull’s breakthrough hit “Give Me Everything” from 2011 dominated the Billboard Hot 100 charts for 45 weeks. The Miami-born artist mixes Latin rhythms and Reggaeton edge with hip-hop and enough pop savvy to get bodies moving and the “par-tay” going. Pitbull’s latest single “Mamasota” is more of his trademark Spanglish style of music that will have fans from all over the world yelling “Dale!” After all, he’s not called Mr. Worldwide for nothing. 8 p.m., Amway Center, 400 W. Church St., amwaycenter.com, $18.25-$579.

Weird Al Yankovic, Emo Phillips

You can pretty much measure a band’s pop-culture currency by whether or not Weird Al Yankovic has parodied one of their tunes. In fact, most acts consider the request an honor and a rite of passage — rightfully so. Weird Al has helped define and document the shape-shifting zeitgeist

FLAMING LIPS, FRIDAY NIGHT AT HARD ROCK LIVE

Moyer

since the early ’80s. On a personal note, the first “real” concert I experienced as a teen was when he was the touring opener for the Monkees in 1987. And then a decade later, I interviewed Yankovic before a show in Tampa (ask me about his bittersweet Kurt Cobain story). His current The Unfortunate Return of the Ridiculously Self-Indulgent, Ill-Advised Vanity Tour stops at the Dr. Phillips Center this week. Interestingly, the show spotlights his non-parody songs with a different setlist each show. So while you won’t hear “Yoda” or “Smells like Nirvana,” you’ll get a deeper, more intimate framing of this American music and comedic icon. 8 p.m., Walt Disney Theater, Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, 445 S. Magnolia Ave., drphillipscenter. org, $69.75. — Daniel Fuller

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): When he was young, Libran poet W.S. Merwin had a teacher who advised him, “Don’t lose your arrogance yet. You can do that when you’re older. Lose it too soon, and you may merely replace it with vanity.” I think that counsel is wise for you to meditate on right now. Here’s how I interpret it: Give honor and respect to your fine abilities. Salute and nurture your ripe talents. Talk to yourself realistically about the success you have accomplished. If you build up your appreciation for what is legitimately great about you, you won’t be tempted to resort to false pride or self-absorbed egotism.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In his absurdist play Waiting for Godot, Samuel Beckett offers us two characters, Vladimir and Estragon, who patiently wait for a white-bearded man named Godot. They’re convinced he will provide them with pro found help, perhaps even salvation. Alas, although they wait and wait and wait, Godot never arrives. Near the end, when they have abandoned hope, Vladimir says to Estragon, “We are not saints, but we have kept our appointment.” My sense is that you Scorpios, like Vladimir and Estragon, may be close to giving up your own vigils. Please don’t! I believe your per sonal equivalent to Godot will ultimately appear. Summon more patience.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Poet Charles Wright has testified, “I admire and revere and am awed by a good many writ ers. But Emily Dickinson is the only writer I’ve ever read who knows my name, whose work has influenced me at my heart’s core, whose music is the music of songs I’ve listened to and remembered in my very body.” In my astrological reckoning, now is an excellent time for you Sagittarians to identify artists and creators who provide you with similar exaltation. And if there are no Emily Dickinson-type influences in your life, find at least one! You need to be touched and transformed by sublime inspiration.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I’ve read and studied poetry for many years, but only recently discovered Capricorn poet Lizette Woodworth Reese (1856–1935).

How is it possible I missed her? Her contemporary, journalist H.L. Mencken, described her work as “one of the imper ishable glories of American literature.”

She received many other accolades while alive. But today, she is virtually unknown, and many of her books are out of print. In bringing her to your attention, I am announcing my prediction about you: Anything in your life that resembles Reese’s reputation will change in the next 12 months. If you have until now

not gotten the recognition or gratitude you deserve, at least some of it will arrive.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Author

Sophia Dembling defines a friend as a per son who consoles you when you’re feeling desperate and with whom you don’t feel alone. A friend is someone whose life is interesting to you and who is interested in your life. Maybe most importantly, a friend must not be boring. What’s your defini tion, Aquarius? Now is an excellent time to get clear about the qualities you want in a friend. It’s also a favorable phase to seek out vital new friendships as you deemphasize mediocre and overly demand ing alliances.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Do you or do you not wish to capitalize on the boost that’s available? Are you or are you not going to claim and use the challenging gift that would complicate your life but also expedite your growth? Act soon, Pisces! If you don’t, the potential dispensation may disappear. This is an excellent chance to prove you’re not afraid of achieving more success and wielding more power. I hope you will summon the extra courage neces sary to triumph over shyness and timidity. Please claim your rightful upgrade!

ARIES (March 21-April 19): “Magic Realism Bot” is a Twitter account that gener ates ideas for new fairy tales. Since you will benefit from imagining your life as a fairy tale in the coming weeks, I’ll offer you a few possibilities. No. 1: You marry a rainbow. The two of you have children: a daughter who can sing like a river and a son who is as gleeful as the wind. No. 2: You make friends with a raven that gives you savvy financial advice. No. 3: You invent a new kind of dancing; it involves crying and laughing while making holy prayer gestures toward your favorite star. No. 4: An angel and a lake monster join forces to help you dream up fun new adventures. No. 5: You discover a field of enchanted dandelions. They have the power to generate algorithms that reveal secrets about where to find wonders and marvels.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): On Feb. 1, 1976, singer Elvis Presley was partying with buddies at his home in Memphis, Tennessee. As the revelry grew, he got an impetuous longing for an 8,000-calo rie sandwich made with French bread, peanut butter, blueberry preserves and slabs of bacon. Since this delicacy was only available at a certain restaurant in Denver, Colorado, Elvis and his entourage spontaneously hopped onto his private jet and flew 900 miles to get there. In accor dance with astrological omens, Taurus, I

encourage you to summon an equally keen determination to obtain pleasurable trea sures. Hopefully, though, they will be more important than a sandwich. The odds of you procuring necessary luxuries that heal and inspire are much higher than usual.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Gemini writer Nikki Giovanni reminds us, “It cannot be a mistake to have cared. It cannot be an error to have tried. It cannot be incor rect to have loved.” In accordance with astrological omens, I ask you to embody Giovanni’s attitude. Shed any worries that your caring and trying and loving have been blunders. Celebrate them, be proud of them and promise yourself that you will keep caring and trying and loving. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to renew your commitment to your highest goodness.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): I was born near Amarillo, Texas, where the U.S. Energy Department stores more than 20,000 plutonium cores from old nuclear warheads. Perhaps that explains some of my brain’s mutant qualities. I’m not nor mal. I’m odd and iconoclastic. On the other hand, I don’t think my peculiarity makes me better than anyone. It’s just who I am. I love millions of people who aren’t as quirky as me, and I enjoy communicating with unweird people as much as I do with weirdos. Everything I just said is a pream ble for my main message, Cancerian: The coming weeks will be prime time for you to give extra honor and credit to your per sonal eccentricities, even if they comprise a minor part of your personality.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Author Jennifer Huang testifies, “Poetry is what helps me remember that even in my fragments, I am whole.” What about you, Leo? What reminds you, even in your fragments, that you are whole? Now is an excellent time to identify the people, animals and influ ences that help you generate a sense of unity and completeness. Once you’re clear about that, spend quality time doing what you can to nurture those healers. Maybe you can even help them feel more cohe sion and harmony in themselves.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Virgo journal ist Sydney J. Harris described “the three hardest tasks in the world.” He said they weren’t “physical feats nor intellectual achievements, but moral acts.” Here they are: No. 1, to return love for hate; No. 2, to include the excluded; No. 3, to say “I was wrong.” I believe you will have a special talent for all three of these brave actions in the coming weeks, Virgo. Amazingly, you’re also more likely than usual to be on the receiving end of those brave actions. Congratulations in advance!

I’m a gay Black man in my early 30s. When I was a teen, I was called fat and ugly by family and friends. I should also point out that I was in an all-white com munity with white parents. When I was coming to terms with my sexuality as a teenager, I began working out. I built a lot of muscle and have kept it on for the past 17 years, and working out really helps with my anxiety issues. I get a lot of attention from guys, and I’m frequently told how good-looking I am. I used to revel in this because I thought I was ugly. But what I thought would bring me happiness really hasn’t. I’ve wanted to have a monogamous romantic relationship with someone where we both love and respect each other. It hasn’t happened. I’ve gone out on dates with guys who shoved their hands down my pants in public. One time when a guy asked for my number in Target, he began to fondle my nipple when I was putting it in his phone. I’ve been sexually harassed at work and pressured to have sex after saying no.

I’ve looked to some older, wiser friends and mentors for support about some of these experiences, but I am often told that I should “enjoy the attention while I’m young” or that I should expect this behav ior because of how my body looks and how I dress. Some of my friends have told me not to take things so personally and that some guys just see me as their gay Black fantasy come to life. Is this really what I have to look forward to in my romantic journey? Parts of me wonder if some of my challenges are about my Blackness. I know this is not always the case, and honestly there’s a feeling of shame to even bring this up as if I’m using my race as an excuse for my problems. But my experiences have been so different from my white friends and mentors that I’m unsure. I’m seeing a therapist who is a person of color who has been helping me with my blackness and sexuality. But my big question for you is this: Am I doing something wrong? Or am I navigating the same challenges other queer people of color face?

All Around Confused

Your therapist is both better qualified and in a better position to help you parse the challenges imposed on you as a queer person of color, the challenges imposed on you by your experiences growing up and the challenges you may be imposing on yourself. But I will say this: There’s nothing shameful about wondering whether your Blackness — along with other people’s rac ism, your own internalized anti-Blackness, and other forces beyond your control — may be interfering with your happiness. But I will say this, AAC: You deserved better from your family and friends grow

ing up; you deserve better from your friends, mentors, romantic partners, sex partners and strangers at Target now. You should be able to wear what you want without guys touching you without your consent. No one should be pressuring you to have sex you didn’t explicitly say yes to and/or have already explicitly said no to. And if being someone else’s “gay Black fantasy come to life” was something you enjoyed doing — if stepping in and out of that role was something you wanted to do for yourself — that would be one thing. But you shouldn’t be consigned to that role by strangers, AAC, and it troubles me that your friends think you should have to tolerate it, much less embrace it.

As for whether you’re doing something wrong …

There are guys out there who’ve done everything right and still haven’t managed to find — into their mid-30s — a relation ship they want. Remember, AAC, it’s not as simple as finding a guy who wants the same relationship model you do, i.e., the loving and monogamous model over the loving and non-monogamous model. You have to find someone who wants what you want and that you’re sexually compat ible with. It should go without saying that sexual compatibility is hugely important in sexually exclusive relationships, but I’m saying it because people enter into sexu ally exclusive relationships with people they don’t click with sexually all the fuck ing time. (Seriously, some weeks it’s half the mail.) But sexual compatibility by itself isn’t enough. You also have to find someone whose career, life and family goals align with your own. And at some point, AAC, you will have to compromise. You may find a guy who wants monogamy but also other things (kids? poodles? tit rings?) that you do not. Or you may find a guy you click with sexually emotion ally, and socially but who doesn’t want monogamy You may not want it forever.

To make a relationship work over the short term, you will have to negotiate and make compromises; to make one work over the long term, you will have to renegotiate and revisit those compromises.

Two final things …

First, I’d like to invite gay or queer Black readers to jump into the comments thread and share your experiences and insights with AAC. And if you’ve never seen the film Tongues Untied, AAC, you might want to sit down to watch it. Marlon T. Riggs’ 1989 documentary about what it means to be Black and gay in our culture is just as relevant now as it was 30 years ago. Everyone should watch it.

Would you mind reminding your gay male readers that it’s rude to take pictures of strangers in public? (I guess men do this to masturbate to them later?) I’m a straight man who has lived in Seattle for four years and what gay men do to ran dom male pedestrians here ranges from nuisance to battery. It’s usually innocu ous: I’m walking down the sidewalk, a gay man and his friends see me, whisper together, start giggling, then one of them pretends to take a photo of their group when they’re really taking a photo of me. This happens every half-mile. Other times, gay men straight up just take my picture. Sometimes one will step directly in front of me, hoping to bump into me for a “meet cute.” Yesterday, I was walking, and I see three 50-year-old men huddling together, and when I looked up all three were tak ing my picture. I ignored it, but I hate it. I kept walking but three other gay men were up ahead, and they stepped directly in front of me to block my way. One of them intentionally took a big step to the side, and when I was still passing, elbowed me “accidentally,” then turned to me laughing and said, “Oh, sorry!”

I’m sure most gay men would claim to never engage in such behavior. But when they get in groups, they allow their friends to do things they wouldn’t otherwise do. It’s cowardly and it needs to stop.

Sneakily Taking Other Peoples Pics Is Completely Shitty

WEEKLY ENERGY FORECAST Light activation

By King Gaia Week 10/10-10/16 , 2022

ast week, Spirit invited us to consider "the shedding" process as a sacred act of self-love, self-care, and

self-devotion. A deep healing journey inward in which we can return to wholeness by stripping away everything in our life that is no longer alive or authentic; a candid healing that requires going throughout all aspects of our being, layer by layer, energetically, mentally, and emotionally.

The urgency of "lightening our load" goes far beyond attaining balance. Any excess or chaotic energy we may be carrying around could be affecting how we see and project ourselves and our ability to create, manifest, or harvest. Anything old and no longer serving us is tilting the scales against our growth and happiness.

Light activation is a call to action, to show up for ourselves and do the inner work. Address the wounds, sort out what’s ours and shed what’s not. We must regain our power and ability to break down the barriers keeping us in the darkness. It’s a call for healing, renewal, and illumination that is only possible when we remove all that is hurting, diminishing, blocking, polluting, shattering, or distorting our soul.

This initiation, rekindle or triggering, will refuel our life force, recall soul fragments, reclaim our power and wholeness, power up our chakra system and our intuitive gifts, clarify our purpose, and allow us to see our divinity and perfect imperfection as we are. It's a whole-life tune-up that we all need and deserve.

As we become ignited, we also reconnect with higher guidance, inner wisdom, unconditional love, and truth fulfillment. We aim for spontaneous awakening and we hope to find what’s deep underneath it all: our true self, authentic and unaltered! We succeed if or when we find our light and we get to light up the world with our true self and freedom.
