Readers react to stories from last week. The House Health & Human Services Committee last week heard a presentation from Harvard Medical School psychobiologist Bertha Madras, who issued dire warnings about the dangers of marijuana use, particularly for youngsters (“Harvard psychobiologist warns Florida House members of marijuana dangers,” Oct. 15). “Marijuana is not benign. It is not safe. It is addictive. … It interferes with learning and memory,” cautioned Madras. Madras opposes legalization of marijuana, and said she is unconvinced of the medicinal value of pot, which has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration and which remains illegal under federal law. Floridians in 2016 legalized medical marijuana for a broad swath of debilitating conditions.

has not increased usage among teenagers? What are her thoughts on research indicating that opioid usage and overdoses are down significantly in states with legal pot? @John Irby I do not partake of the sacred weed. However, this Havard “psychobiologist” is obviously getting well-paid to preach keeping weed illegal and the for-profit prisons in Florida full of people who use. Also remember that Jared Kushner went to Harvard, so that in itself is no qualification of knowledge or competence. The problem DeSantis and his MAGA dummies in the legislature have is that medical marijuana is now the rage in the massive GOP stronghold of the Villages (aka Trumplandia) and they would be pissed if they had to give it up.
@Bernie Chapin I’m unconvinced of the medical value of alcohol, yet here we are.
@Felipe Fernandez The beautiful thing about science is it doesnt matter if some obviously paid-off stooge “isn’t convinced” about science; science doesn’t give a fuck about your opinion.
@Brian Leavitt Her primary point of opposition appears to be the impact to the health and development of younger users. This law makes the age requirement the same as alcohol, so that’s not relevant. What are her thoughts on recent research that indicates legalization in Western states
@Dave Hardison I think we need to be honest that there are some minor risks, but do we believe in personal freedom or not? There are some minor risks to gun ownership as well, but the Florida legislature would literally burn the capitol to the ground before they would take away recreational firearms.

Judge rules Florida cannot deny felons their voting rights if they’re unable to pay financial obligations: U.S. District Judge Robert Hinkle, in a 55-page ruling, said people cannot be denied the right to vote if they are “genuinely unable” to pay financial obligations. But his preliminary injunction applies only to plaintiffs named in the case, not more broadly to other felons who might be affected. Hinkle pointed to the need for state officials to come up with an administrative process in which felons could try to prove that they are unable to pay financial obligations and should be able to vote.

State Sen. Linda Stewart wants Floridians to know she does not oppose sunscreen: Democratic state Sen. Linda Stewart is defending legislation that would prohibit the use of sunscreen containing chemicals found harmful to coral reefs. Stewart wants the public to know her bill would require over-the-counter sunscreen sold in Florida to be free of oxybenzone and octinoxate, two chemicals shown to contribute to the bleaching of coral reefs. “Some companies would rather ignore the environmental impacts to protect their bottom line,” said Stewart. “My legislation offers a way to protect our skin while preserving our environment.”

The number of Floridians diagnosed with Hepatitis A this year is about to hit 2,800: Florida had 53 newly reported hepatitis A cases last week, bringing the total number of cases this year to 2,791 as of midOctober, numbers from the state Department of Health show. The areas with the biggest upticks were Volusia and Citrus counties. Orange County has had 172 cases so far in 2019.

Florida House starts looking for money to raise teacher starting pay to $47,000: A House education panel has begun delving into the issue of raising teacher pay, with a key lawmaker saying that while “everything is on the table,” the panel still needs to figure out where the money would come from. Gov. Ron DeSantis proposed raising the minimum starting salary of Florida teachers to $47,500, a proposal with an estimated $603 million price tag. State Rep. Chris Latvala (R-Clearwater) said it remains unclear exactly how the Legislature would be able to pay for increasing teacher salaries and whether lawmakers would be able to bypass county school boards, which negotiate contracts with teachers.

Florida kids are smoking less tobacco but vaping more, which is pretty stupid: The use of tobacco products among Florida’s youth is at an all-time low, but that good news is offset by significant increases in the number of children who vape, a state advisory panel was told last week. The results of the 2019 Florida Youth Tobacco survey of 10,844 high-school and middle-school students showed that 1.5 percent reported smoking tobacco cigarettes in the previous 30 days. But 16.6 percent reported using electronic-cigarette products in the previous 30 days, which was more than a 5 percent increase over the prior year. “I’m almost distraught looking at this information,” said Jim Howell, a former Department of Health secretary who is a member of the Tobacco Education and Use Prevention Advisory Council, after hearing the survey results. orlandoweekly.com

CORRUPT INTENT
Hunter Biden’s perfectly legal swim in oligarchical sleaze BY JE FFREY C. BILL M A N
I
’ve never thought Joe Biden would be the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee. He’s too old, too moderate, too generic, too white. He inspires Beltway pundits (and Onion writers) and few others. He gets by on Barack Obama’s halo. And he’s competitive because the progressive wing is still split between Bernie and Liz. But if he wants to keep the dream alive, Joe had better keep his son Hunter off television. Last week, Hunter went on ABC News to discuss his role with the Ukrainian natural gas company Burisma. A quick primer if you haven’t been following along: Hunter joined Burisma’s board along with some other notable names in 2014 – a mostly ceremonial role, according to Reuters, designed to insulate the company from corruption probes – for $83,333 a month. (Nice work if you can get it.) A Ukrainian investigation fizzled a few months later. In 2016, at the behest of the U.S. and its European allies, Joe Biden used the threat of $1 billion in loan guarantees to force Ukraine to fire its chief prosecutor, whom America deemed too soft on corrupt officials – including the oligarch who ran Burisma. Hunter has never been accused of wrongdoing, either by Ukrainian or American authorities. But Trump and his allies have insinuated all sorts of chicanery – without evidence – and while holding up hundreds of millions of dollars in military aid this summer, President Trump demanded that Ukraine open a criminal investigation into Burisma and the Bidens, which kick-started the ongoing impeachment inquiry. In the ABC interview, Hunter confessed to what he called “poor judgment”: “In retrospect, look, I think that it was poor
judgment on my part. … Was it poor judgment to be in the middle of something that is a swamp in many ways? Yeah.” This, he continued, “gave a hook to some very unethical people to act in illegal ways to try to do some harm to my father. That’s where I made the mistake. So I take full responsibility for that. Did I do anything improper? No, not in any way.” Drink that in. The mistake wasn’t sitting on an oligarch’s board while his father was in a position of influence. The mistake was giving Daddy’s enemies ammo. That mind-set exemplifies the swamp that Donald Trump so effectively derides. Hunter got the job because he’s a Biden; he egregiously profited from proximity to power. He acknowledges as much: “There’s literally nothing, as a young man or as a fullgrown adult, that my father in some way hasn’t had influence over.” Let’s be real: If someone wants to pay me $83,000 a month to have the last name Biden, I’ll go down to the courthouse today. So I suppose it’s hard to fault Hunter for taking the easy money – although you’d think his father’s long shadow might make him more judicious about the roles he accepts. But those kinds of positions only exist because of the expectations attached to them – in this case, the expectation that having a Biden on your side might help you out when things get rough. Joe Biden staked his brand on being a regular guy from Scranton, but Hunter Biden cashed in on old-fashioned American oligarchy. It’s all perfectly legal, and to the oligarchs, it’s all perfectly ethical. And that, dear readers, is the problem. Of course, there are no worse messengers to shine a light on this problem than the Trumps. The day ABC aired the Hunter Biden
interview, Eric Trump – the one with the American Psycho hair – went on Fox News to say that the difference between the Trumps and the Bidens is that “when my father became commander in chief of this country, we got out of all international business.” That’s a barefaced lie. The Trump Organization does all kinds of overseas business, and the president has maintained his stake in it. Both Eric and Donald Jr. travel internationally to conduct business and promote their hotels; the Trump Organization recently got approval to build a new ballroom at its golf course in Ireland; and the business has projects underway in Canada, the United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, the Dominican Republican, and so on. A few days later, Trump announced that he’d host next year’s G7 summit at his bedbug-ridden Doral Resort in South Florida, enabling him to make a mint off his office. This was about as brazen a display of graft imaginable. It was a clear violation of the Emoluments Clause, which prevents the president from taking money from foreign governments. It would be expressly illegal for any other executive branch official to direct a federal contract to his own company. And at a time when Trump’s campaign was spending millions accusing the Bidens of cashing in on their office, the hypocrisy reeked to high heaven. Whether Trump was oblivious or just didn’t care, he forged ahead anyway. At least for a few days, until a bipartisan backlash forced him to reconsider. On Sunday night, he called the whole thing off, ranting on Twitter about the Democrats and the media. Amid it all, acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney admitted in a press conference that, yes, the administration had a quid pro quo with Ukraine, but that these things happen “all the time” and we should “get over it.” (Not that it makes things better, but this particular quid pro quo had to do with a conspiracy theory regarding the Democratic National Committee’s email servers, not the Bidens. Though Mulvaney tried to walk it back, that statement will still be Exhibit A in the Articles of Impeachment.) Hunter Biden took a swim in the cesspool of oligarchical sleaze. Donald Trump and his clan are the embodiment of venality. The two things aren’t comparable in scope, but they’re fruit of the same tree. And that there’s more than a hint of shadiness to Hunter’s business dealings will allow Donald Trump to blur the lines whenever his are called into question. feedback@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

NEWS ‘If we’re relying exclusively on white paint to protect pedestrians from a moving ton of steel, we’ve failed.’
Thornton Park’s new crosswalk is reminiscent of an Escher drawing PHOTO COURTESY CITY OF ORLANDO
LOOK BOTH WAYS Orlando’s new crosswalk art will have you seeing swans in Thornton Park BY DAVE P LOTKIN
T
he City of Orlando posted a photo of their new crosswalk artwork in Thornton Park last week, and it’s really something. The design evokes Dutch graphic artist M.C. Escher’s hypnotic, alternating patterns, with interlocked black and white swans. It’s pretty damn cool to look at, but is it a safe addition to an already slightly confusing intersection? This is, after all, East Washington Street and Summerlin Avenue, an intersection with stop signs on one street and not on the other. Drivers without a stop sign often hesitate, or even stop, out of caution at the crosswalk. Graffiti Junktion diners on the patio can watch the awkward interactions between pedestrians and drivers all day. It will be interesting to see how the new crosswalk, which also brings to mind the dazzle camouflage designs of early-century Navy ships, affects pedestrian safety. The crosswalk art could raise awareness of pedestrians, and cause drivers to take a second look. Some cities have created 3-D versions of crosswalk stripes by adding painted shadows to existing white stripes, as a way to increase visibility and promote cautious driving. Still, the safety issue is a fair question to ask,
especially when rates of pedestrian deaths nationally are the highest in almost three decades, and Orlando’s roads have been identified as the most dangerous in the country for pedestrians. The federal government has been reaching out to cities that install creative crosswalks, including in one instance reported by the New York Times, when members of the Ames, Iowa, city council installed a rainbow crosswalk ahead of an annual LGBTQ festival. About a week after the ribbon-cutting ceremony, a letter from the Federal Highway Administration arrived asking them to remove it. The Ames council basically ignored the letter, and the feds haven’t fined the city or forced them to repaint the crosswalks. The same happened in Atlanta this month, when the city received a similar letter. In 2013, says the Times article, the highway administration issued a memorandum affirming that “crosswalk art is actually contrary to the goal of increased safety and most likely could be a contributing factor to a false sense of security for both motorists and pedestrians.” The agency responded to requests for evidence that colorful crosswalks have an impact
on safety, but they were unable to provide anything to back it up. Orlando also installed a rainbow sidewalk in 2017, resulting from an online petition, to commemorate the lives lost and changed by the Pulse attack. The crosswalk on West Esther Street at Orange Avenue received an overwhelmingly positive response, despite not exactly conforming to federal guidelines. As far as we know, the federal authorities have not weighed in. The sternly worded, if toothless, letters from federal highway authorities were enough for the city of St. Louis to let its painted crosswalks fade over time, fearing the potential loss of federal highway funds. In a blog post responding to the St. Louis decision, the Rice University Institute for Urban Research says the furor over artistic crosswalks misses a broader point about safety. “If we’re relying exclusively on white paint to protect pedestrians from a moving ton of steel, we’ve failed,” said the author. “The FHWA and cities should spend more time considering how to make crosswalks into safer spaces by more appropriately dealing with the sections of street leading up to them.” The Rice University editorial advocates for a pedestrian-centric approach to street design and safety, saying, “by the time a car gets to the crosswalk, the driver should have already been told by a variety of other markers – lower speed limits, narrower roadways, flashing pedestrians lights, street design elements such as bulb curbs or midblock islands.” The impasse between local and federal authorities – and the need for more widespread use of safety devices – means the decision of whether we have nice things is ultimately up to Orlando drivers. Are we able to slow down and abide by attractive, unique crosswalks that add character and meaningful color to our neighborhoods, or will we plow ahead, carelessly counting on pedestrians to protect their own necks? The intersection at Summerlin and East Washington is worth checking out. Make sure you look both ways.

MONSTER SQUAD
Enter the world of Orlando’s horror drag queens Black Haüs … if you dare! BY MATTHEW MOY ER
S
queezing into a dark, velvety, packed cabaret-style theater in Southern Nights on a Tuesday night just before Halloween, we’re immediately immersed in a realm far away from both the bustling Milk District outside these walls, and, indeed, even the main neon-lit room at Southern. Glancing around, we see a dense crowd of regulars, young and dressed to the nines in goth-gone-glam attire, enraptured by what’s happening on the stage. And why wouldn’t they be? Pennywise dances to Disturbed, a genderless Nosferatu in a wedding dress mimes to Keisha Cole, a sexy grim reaper wields a scythe, and Freddy Krueger himself follows, all MC’d by a punk zombie straight out of a deleted scene in Return of the Living Dead. Every costume is perfect down to the detail. These performers are physical and soulful and terrifying all at once. Phones record every move. Dollar bills rain down on the performers. This is Black Haüs, this is Creature Feature, this is the bleeding edge of a new wave of horror-drag in Orlando – and beyond. Even if you’ve never attended Black Haüs’ weekly Creature Feature night, you might recognize two of the core members of the Black Haüs family, matriarch Victoria Elizabeth Black (Demetrio Asciutto) and Dollya Black (Mason Hartenstein) from Seasons 2 (2018) and 3 (2019), respectively, of the Boulet Brothers’ superlative reality show Dragula – the new season is airing now on Amazon Prime. Dragula is the flip side of RuPaul’s Drag Race, celebrating the visually transgressive and ugly side of beauty to outrageous effect. Victoria was among the top three finalists of Season 2 and on the day we chatted with the Black Haüs hive mind, Dollya has just been named one of the top three for this current third season. Only a couple of episodes remain as this issue goes to press. Spirits are high. In a city where drag houses aren’t exactly the norm, the young Black Haüs collective stand tightly united. Black Haüs consists of the aforementioned Victoria and 16
Dollya, joined by Opulence Black (Rock Kelly) and Waka ShameBlack (Alexander Rappa), along with Dollya and Waka’s “drag daughters,” Draggedy Anne and Annie Mae Black. They run their business like they run this interview, with everyone having their equal say. “We flourish together,” says Victoria, firmly. They stress that underneath the horns and fangs and frightwigs and prosthetics and makeup, at the heart of it all they’re just two couples and four friends who enjoy one another’s company. The Jekylls to Black Haüs’ onstage Sister Hydes, if you will. “Only two of us have been on a TV show and when Victoria came back [from taping Dragula], she really tried to push us forward as a group,” says Waka. “Not everybody would do that, but that just speaks to Victoria as a person.” It’s been a busy Halloween season for the quartet, even by their standards. Besides their weekly shows at Southern Nights, they’ve done group performances at the new Dark Horizon haunted house and at a DJ night with Killer Klowns From Outer Space composer John Massari. They also took part in the Come Out With Pride parade. Even atop the bombshell Dragula news, the group seems unfazed by the pace. From formative drag beginnings at Pulse and Southern Nights, Stonewall in Parramore gave the group their first big break (they praise Stonewall’s Taylor Bulloch for giving them creative freedom and “wanting more weirdos in the bar”), to start hosting Creature Feature Tuesdays.

“The whole premise of the show for us was that when Pulse happened, we felt like we didn’t have a home,” remembers Dollya. “And so instead of just constantly asking people to try to make a place for us, we would just make our own place.” Orlando Weekly witnessed some of the early undertakings, grand spectacles of DIY creativity – consciously or unconsciously channeling the likes of John Waters, Divine, the Screamers, Leigh Bowery and Herschell Gordon Lewis. “One of our greatest strengths is we can just find things and make them work for any theme,” says Opulence. “We’ll find things on the side of

the road, pull things out of our living room and be like, here’s your club night!” The foursome even jumped in a van for a tour up and down the East Coast at the beginning of this year. When they reminisce about it, it’s like listening to punk or experimental artists talk about the strange joys of seat-ofthe-pants planning and execution. “There were nights we had to paint in the car in the dark, using just our phone lights because we were running out of time,” says Dollya. “Oh you found the box with the harnesses, got it!” laughs Opulence, remembering an hours-long stop at the border, where Canadian customs agents were dumbfounded by the wardrobe, fetish gear … and a prop severed head. Perhaps their biggest move this year was taking Creature Feature (back) to Southern Nights, a personally meaningful moment for the Haüs. The move reunites them with Southern Nights’ Axel Andrews, an early supporter and advocate, along with a staff excited by all the new possibilities and blood (in every sense of the word) that Black Haüs bring along. “It was a cool opportunity for us to reconnect with the people that we started doing drag with,” says Dollya. “It’s felt like home since the first week.” Opulence also stresses the importance of being able to get younger fans into the show now (Southern Nights is 18
and up), and to bear her point out, we did spot quite a few Xs scrawled on hands last week. They and their coterie of fans and family make Southern weirder, and according to the Haüs, that’s a big goal. It’s not all just horror and keeping it weird for them, though. The Black Haüs quartet speak with earnest conviction about creating a space where people can be comfortable to explore their identities, supporting other queer artists, and giving back to a queer community that fostered them since their days at Pulse. Victoria calls their hard-core audience “a little family.” On a more serious note, Black Haüs threw a PrEP Rally party last year in association with Two Spirit Health to increase awareness, very much needed at this present moment. “Three of us are positive,” says Opulence. “We’re all undetectable, but we think it’s very important to educate the community and use our drag as a platform and open discussion and give them something to think about and talk about.” All of this springs from Victoria’s overarching aim as the matriarch of Black Haüs to continually push their art forward. “Deepen the concept; make people question things,” says Victoria. “It’s more interesting that way.” “They both taught me that art is supposed to challenge things,” says Dollya. “We want to inspire a reaction.
Whether it’s pitchforks and fire or you’re crying your eyes out or you’re laughing.” Opulence talks about a fragrance in cooperation with Black Phoenix, taking the PrEP Rally to New York in November, and continuing to bring “queer artists who aren’t necessarily on Dragula” from all around the country in for guest spots: Andro Gin, Louisianna Purchase, Priscilla Chambers (for a Southern-Fried Thanksgiving) and James Majesty are confirmed. Approaching the twoyear anniversary of Black Haüs, the foursome express varying degrees of amazement that this has lasted so long. As the conversation winds down, there is talk of more abstract motivations behind their work, and it shows another side to these usually fearsome queens. Opulence: We’ve had people come out to us as trans at Creature Feature, we’ve had people come out as gay and lesbian, the whole spectrum. Victoria: We feel really safe with our night and that’s why we keep doing it, so people have that space where they can just be free. Dahlia: Everyone wants to feel loved and beautiful. This monster movie has a happy ending after all.

SPOOKY STORIES IN THE SUNSHINE Owl Goingback, Central Florida’s most frightful writer, thinks real life is scarier than werewolves or vampires BY F RANCES SUSA N N A N EV I L L
A
lonely cemetery on a March day seemed an appropriately spooky place in which to interview horror writer Owl Goingback. Gravestones and statuary standing as silent sentinels, a steady breeze making the pine needles in the trees at the cemetery’s edge whisper softly like the voices of ghosts – it felt like the ideal setting for meeting an author who traffics in the supernatural. Waiting to meet him outside my car, however, the chill was a little more literal than I’d imagined; I was shivering as Goingback pulled up in his car. Through the window, I could see his trademark long gray braid, and on the steering wheel I noticed the chunks of turquoise jewelry adorning his hands and wrist. He greeted me graciously but quickly sensed something was off and suggested we relocate someplace warmer, which turned out to be a Starbucks in Winter Park Village. Not exactly the eerie atmosphere of a graveyard, but it was more conducive to conversation. For a man who makes a living scaring the hell out of people, Goingback is good at making others feel at ease. Goingback, who is of Choctaw and Cherokee heritage, made a name for himself in the world of horror fiction with frightening stories rooted in Native American history, folklore and mysticism. Evil Whispers, set outside Orlando, involves an ancient sorcerer killed by Seminole Indians who is able to return to malevolent life. In Crota, authorities think the mutilated bodies they’ve discovered are the work of a bear, while the local game warden (who happens to be Native American) suspects it’s the great beast, Crota, awoken from hundreds of years of sleep. Crota won Goingback the Bram Stoker Award for best new novel and launched a career that today includes 10 novels, numerous short stories, magazine articles, scripts, comics and even an award-winning children’s book, Eagle Feathers. Goingback has a robust following – not just in the horror and fantasy community, but also among Orlando readers, who voted him Best Local Author in Orlando Weekly’s 2019 Best of Orlando Readers Poll. An attentive audience showed up at a recent reading at the Orlando Public Library to listen to him discuss the innate loneliness of monsters (something he says he relates to) and his love of Native American myth. What struck me most during his talk was his gentle persona – the same persona that was concerned about my comfort at the cemetery. Goingback speaks softly about his childhood. “[My mother] served in the military and we jumped around a lot; we lived in a person’s attic for a while and then a basement. It wasn’t until I was 5 that she remarried and we lived out in the country on five acres. No kids to play with. No neighbors.” Goingback had to create his own entertainment. He found solace in fiction – particularly fantasy and adventure books by writers like Ray Bradbury (Something Wicked This
Way Comes) and Edgar Rice Burroughs (Tarzan, John Carter of Mars). “The only place in town to buy books was the Rexall Drugstore,” he recalls. “It wasn’t until The Exorcist came out that I started seeing books being sold other places.” It was at the drugstore that Goingback devoured monster magazines like Famous Monsters of Filmland. “These magazines really captured the imagination of kids like me and I felt these monsters, like me, were lonely but also probably misunderstood,” he says. Interesting that Goingback’s empathy, even as a young man, extended to creatures designed to evoke revulsion and horror. Goingback joined the Air Force at 17. After his time in the military, he opened a restaurant, and after closing time he began writing stories. After his debut novel snagged the Bram Stoker Award for best first novel, he went on to be nominated twice for best novel – both times competing against Stephen King. In the midst of writing and winning awards, Goingback and his wife were looking for a place to plant roots. One of his childhood heroes, legendary science fiction and fantasy writer Andre Norton (Witch World saga, Sargasso of Space), would affect not only his writing, but also his home life. “Andre Norton was one of my favorite science fiction writers when I was a kid,” he remembers. “Years later, I was asked to aid her at a conference and from there we became friends. When Nancy and I were looking to settle down and raise our sons, we visited Andre in Winter Park. We just decided on that trip to stay and we never looked back.” Once in Central Florida, Goingback wrote and took on various jobs, including caretaker of the Greenwood Cemetery, where he served for seven years. Greenwood is Orlando’s oldest continuously used cemetery, established in 1880 and covering 82 acres. Many of Orlando’s most prominent citizens are interred there. One of his most challenging assignments at Greenwood: preparing graves for the victims of the Pulse shooting. “We buried four of the Pulse victims at Greenwood, three on the same Saturday. It was challenging to make sure the families had the privacy they deserved during the burial services, when so much of the world was focused on Orlando at the time, but the press was very respectful of the situation. We only caught one pair of reporters trying to sneak in and photograph the burials, and they were quickly escorted off the property,” Goingback says. “It was amazing how the Central Florida community pulled together in the

days following the tragedy, with many people stopping by the cemetery and offering to help in any way possible.” Today Goingback writes full time. His books and stories are used in reading programs in public schools, colleges and a youthful offender program at the Orange County Corrections Facility in Orlando. He has lectured on Native American customs and folklore throughout the country. The first piece of fiction I read of Goingback’s wasn’t one of his horror novels, but a short story called “Grass Dancer,” which has been extensively anthologized. It tells the story of Roger Thunder Horse, a Native American teen who is drafted into service during the Vietnam War. His presence fades in and out of his family’s life stateside and these visits foreshadow his ultimate death on the battlefield. His surviving brother Jimmy, who is disabled, dons the special regalia Roger passed on to him and dances during a pow wow. As Jimmy dances, painfully, his legs miraculously straighten, his back realigns and grass grows where he steps. While the monsters that permeate his horror fiction underscore man versus nature and good versus evil, Goingback weaves Native American folklore into the present action of the stories. Ancient violence re-emerges into today’s suburban landscape and exacts a heavy cost; ancient evils never really die. Florida’s sunshine, beaches and theme parks are no distraction to Goingback. He’s more interested in the state’s cultural underbelly. “We’ve got an endless supply of stories about ghosts, haunted locations, witches, skunk apes, giants, water monsters and UFOs. It’s a state with spooky swamps, islands once littered with human bones, ancient Spanish forts, Civil War battlefields, a Coral Castle and even a spiritualist camp,” Goingback says. “There’s definitely a lot here to spark my imagination.” What scares Goingback himself? “Life,” he answers. “It’s why I don’t write about serial killers or shooters or stuff like that. Stories about werewolves, vampires and monsters are a place to escape all that is happening in the news and real life.”

Now in its ninth year, Immerse is only limited ‘by the expectations of the people who call Orlando home’
ARCHITECTS OF AIR | PHOTO COURTESY OF CREATIVE CITY PROJECT
I was groping my way through British-based Architects of Air, brought to in Orlando, dubbed Dodecalis, is their latest curving corridors inside what appeared to be an enormous extraterrestrial’s intestinal tract. The rubbery floor felt spongy beneath my unshod feet – my shoes were stripped off before I could even crawl inside – and the walls around me seemed to throb with living energy. My friends were somewhere up ahead, hypnotized by the psychedelic colors flowing from the sinuously curved ceiling, and as I struggled to breathe the humid air pressing against my eardrums, I realized that I couldn’t remember which of the pulsating pod-like chambers around me led to the one and only exit. The experience I’m describing isn’t some new extreme haunted house attraction, although with the addition of some fake fog and strobe lights it could have fit right in alongside the Halloween freaks of Plant City’s Ominous Descent. Instead, the ginormous cross between a bounce house and circus big-top that I was exploring was a “luminarium” art installation built by
downtown Orlando as a centerpiece of the Creative City Project’s Immerse 2019. Katie Gee, the luminarium manager who accompanied the inflatable to Florida, travels the world with these oversize soft sculptures, visiting Indonesia, Budapest and Australia in the last year alone. She told me – during the first interview I’ve ever conducted inside a balloon – that her job requires being “an all-arounder, because you don’t just need the technical side of it to set it up; you need communication skills to work with the local crew [and you] have to be responsible for the safety of it.” Architects of Air founding designer Alan Parkinson uses natural forms in his creations, such as the abstracted tree in the center of one chamber, or the soap bubblelike spherical voids in the ceiling of another; other elements recall Gothic cathedrals and Islamic architecture. The luminarium structures take his 10-person workshop about eight months to build, and the one
creation. It made its debut over the summer in Sweden, then visited Cincinnati before coming here. The structure sometimes seems more like a living being than an inorganic building. “If you’re lying against the wall, you can feel the structure come up and down as the airlock is opened and closed,” explains Gee. “So I set [visitors] a little challenge sometimes and say, ‘Hey, see if you can feel the luminarium breathing.’” Installing the inflatable on the Dr. Phillips Center’s Seneff Plaza took Gee’s crew two full days, including laying Astroturf underneath and ballasting it well enough to avoid blowing away during Saturday’s tropical storm. “We have to be quite adaptable to varying circumstances, and different weather conditions as well,” says Gee. “These structures will go on tour for five years, so inevitably there will be damage or seams will split, and the luminarium managers will just repair them on the road. We’re all

trained by the workshop on how to mend and construct them all.” “A lot of people do experience it now though a cell phone, which is nice because they get to share it with other people,” Gee says when I ask if luminarium guests in other countries are as Instagram-obsessed as the Americans around us seemed to be. “We also enjoy the times when they put that away, and have the experience for themselves, because once you enter a luminarium it takes everything else away from your mind. It’s a completely new experience of light and color and sound, and we want people to just relax and enjoy something different.” If you missed last weekend’s spectacle – which also included performances from L.A.’s Diavolo dance troupe and the Blue Man Group, along with nearly a thousand local artists – you can still enjoy Architects of Air’s luminarium through Oct. 27, along with the neighboring “Worlds of Corkcicle” exhibit of shipping container selfie stations. Otherwise, you’ll have to wait until next year’s ninth annual event, which will be even bigger if executive director Cole NeSmith has his way. “The length of our festival is not limited by talent, because we have more artists who want to be part of this than we have space for at this point,” NeSmith tells me after I re-emerge from the luminarium. “It’s really limited by the expectations of the people who call Orlando home,” he says, noting a backlash in local media against the days of downtown road closures caused by Immerse. “We would love to add another day next year, because we definitely have a need for it. It’s just an issue of whether or not our city is ready for it.” skubersky@orlandoweekly.com

They Bunjaku – an avid Trump supporter – created a strung up lights, added some plants, gave the wall a paint garish victory pie embellished with gold leaf shaped into a job and made it look as welcoming as … oh, I don’t know … let’s just go with an impeachment “T” and – try not to cackle – Russian inquiry.

‘The thin crust’s chew and crackle managed to elicit nods of approval from the Neapolitan pizza snobs in my party’ orbs stuffed into the meatball parm sub ($8) just the same, though I likely wouldn’t side it with a grilled ratatouille salad ($8). Better, I think, to remove it from the menu than to serve over-balsamic’d veggies atop a heap of bland and clumpy pearl couscous. On the pasta front, Due Amici in Ybor City has College Park beat thanks to their $50,000 custom-made pasta machine. The idea is to eventually serve fresh pasta here as well but, until then, the fettucine in a light marinara will be firm and a bit nutty, not toothy and eggy. That pasta, however, is served alongside a decent eggplant napoleon ($13) that embodies an equally decent breaded crunch. Dried pasta works well when baking, so stuffed shells ($10 for four) packed with ricotta came out nicely. No, this isn’t Osteria Francescana but, rather, Kingfish Grill 2.0 – even if the former made a far better garlic knot. Both pasta dishes here were served with knots we found way too dense and doughy to be remotely palatable. Of the tiramisu ($4), vanilla cheesecake ($4) and mini cannoli ($4 for three), only the latter, with a vanilla-scented ricotta filling, is made in-house. I’m sure the mothership will do what it needs to do to gradually build its Orlando rep, and I gather their line of branded sauc-
es and wine (they work with a vineyard in Ancona in the Le Marche wine region of Italy) will make their way to Edgewater Drive along with fresh pasta in the coming weeks, if not days. In College Park, competition among Italian restaurants is fierce, and you can bet Bunjaku has one goal in mind – win. fkara@orlandoweekly.com

WORLD’S MAGIC RESTAURANT The city’s first (to our knowledge) Saudi restaurant serves Bedouin-influenced rice-and-meat staples as well as Saudistyle Indonesian fare. Both gareesh, a savory chicken porridge topped with ghee-slicked caramelized onions, and remarkably thin and crisp beef den den make superior starters. Saudi rice dish mandi lamb and the Indonesian platter piled with everything from beef rendang to mysterious pasta with red sauce are more substantial offerings. The satay sizzles. Ending with passable kunafa is your choice. Open daily 5–9:45 p.m. No alcohol is served. 7044 International Drive, 407-203-3330; $$
HUMBL The pizzas steal the show at this slick new vegan joint in deepest Windermere. The focaccia-like crust stands up to vegetable toppings (sogginess being a classic vegan pizza fail) and those toppings are fantastic: The perversely named “Meat Lovers” has wears roasted cauliflower, shiitake “bacon” slices, fennel-farro “sausage” crumbles and dollops of macadamia-nut “ricotta.” Also of positive note: perfect fries, an Indianspiced grain bowl and thick-as-a-concrete milkshakes. 5845 Winter Garden Vineland Road, Windermere, 407-349-8800; $$
KAIZEN IZAKAYA It’s out with the old and in with the new as the old Amura on Church Street gets a long-overdue rebrand. You’ll find all the trendy pan-Asian trappings of the modern izakaya – ramen, Korean fried chicken, bao, donburi – but quality cuts of Japanese fish as well. The moriawase gets you 14 pieces for $35, but don’t overlook Korean staples like that KFC and a comforting bowl of kimchi yaki-udon noodles. Open daily. 54 W. Church St., 407-316-8500; $$
CAFÉ 34 ISTANBUL The city’s only 24-hour Turkish restaurant means kebabophiles can indulge in some of the most luscious, lip-greasing meats any time of day, though raki drinkers will have to take a break from the hours of 2 a.m. to 7 a.m. Much of the action takes place on the restaurant’s sprawling patio and let’s just say it’s a mesmerizing scene,

especially after 10 p.m. Things are a lot more quiet inside. 8255 International Drive, 407-601-7712; $$
HOURGLASS SOCIAL HOUSE Straddling the line between café and food hall, the Hourglass Social House offers a diverse array of food options – Mexican, Vietnamese, French pastries, vegan handhelds – not to mention beverages aplenty. Foxtail Coffee gets the morning crowd jacked, while the market stocks a nice selection of wine, beer, kombucha and juice. Bottomless mimosas are served on weekends from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Open daily. 2401 Curry Ford Road, 407-930-7308; $$
JAM-ENG Jamaican staples like jerk chicken, oxtail stew, curry chicken and fried whole snapper far outshine the mainly drab offerings of the British side of the menu (baked salmon, cottage pie, ploughman’s sandwiches). The vibe is laid-back and service can sometimes operate on “island time.” Open daily for lunch and dinner. 65 N. Orange Ave., 321-424-5062; $
Z ASIAN VIETNAMESE KITCHEN Mills 50 Vietnamese joint shuns the 100-plus-item menu in favor of a focused bill of fare. Soups, be they stellar duck noodle, seafood, bún bò hue or pho, are laboriously fretted over. More interesting items to consider: pan-fried rice flour, Vietnamese crepes, and an herbal tea dessert beverage with Chinese dates, seaweed, red beans, jelly and longan fruit. Don’t overlook the wings. Closed Mondays. 1830 E. Colonial Drive, 407-601-6024; $$
DON JULIO MEXICAN KITCHEN & TEQUILA BAR Vivid heaps of salsa-slathered food await the burrito and chimi-loving patron, but with the addition of noted chef Roberto Treviño (El Buda, Food Network), guests at Don Julio’s on Chickasaw Trail can also enjoy remarkably colorful and bracing ceviches. Margaritas are taken seriously here, as are aguas frescas. Open daily. 551 S. Chickasaw Trail, 407-930-3735; $$
MAMA LAU VA OC The city’s first Vietnamese snail restaurant brings many molluscs to adventurous diners in Orlando, but don’t expect the sort of Vietnamese restaurant prices you’re used to. Get your fill of sea snails filled with garlic and butter, cherrystone clams with buttered onions, razor clams grilled with tamarind, fried onions and peanuts, and scallops – with coral attached. The sturgeon hot pot is gratifying and big enough for four. Closed Wednesdays. 5038 W. Colonial Drive, 407-337-9999; $$ n

Lizzy Caplan in Castle Rock PHOTO BY DANA STARBARD
HAUNTED HOUSES, HAUNTED HEARTS
The second season of Castle Rock is flawless BY PE G A LOI
W
ere other Stephen King fans as pleasantly surprised as I was by how damn good the first season of Castle Rock was? Castle Rock, the fictional small town in Maine that is the setting for many of King’s stories, is such an evocative place, full of horrific history, that it hardly matters if one has only read a small selection of King’s vast output. The works that figure most heavily in the first season are The Shawshank Redemption (originally a novella in Four Seasons) and Needful Things, but there are also references to Cujo, The Dead Zone, The Shining and It – some blatant, some deliciously sly. In the capable hands of executive producer J.J. Abrams (and King himself ), Castle Rock was bound to be good, and show-runners Sam Saw and Justin Thomason have crafted a literate, entertaining juggernaut. With a canonical author like King, there’s potential for apoplexy-inducing overloads of Easter eggs. Indeed, the very casting of Sissy Spacek (whose film debut as Carrie White in the adaptation of King’s first novel, Carrie, was stunning) is a loving homage. Spacek plays Ruth Deaver, a woman haunted by her abusive ex-husband’s deeds, who
is also beginning to suffer from dementia. “The Queen,” an episode in which Ruth uses chess pieces as markers for memories, is probably the best episode of television I’ve seen in months, and Spacek (who heads a phenomenal cast) is so good: luminous, subtle and heartbreaking. Season 2, of which I’ve seen the first five episodes, is gearing up to be every bit as fine as Season 1. Some are calling it a “prequel” to Misery, the tour de force novel and film featuring two characters, Paul Sheldon and Annie Wilkes (played by James Caan and Kathy Bates, who won the Best Actress Oscar for the role in 1991), a novelist who is severely injured in a crash and the mentally disturbed woman who nurses him back to health in her remote cabin, who also happens to be his No. 1 fan. The younger Annie (Masters of Sex’s Lizzy Caplan) is a socially awkward drifter who moves from state to state with her teenage daughter, Joy (Eighth Grade’s Elsie Fisher), working as a nurse so she can steal the anti-psychotic drugs she desperately needs. Joy is sheltered and bored; meeting some cool local kids starts to turn her life around, and she rebels against her mother’s strict rules. It’s
Cult Classics: Blade II Guillermo del Toro directs Wesley Snipes in the high-water mark of the Blade franchise. Tuesday, 9:30 pm; Enzian Theater, 1300 S. Orlando Ave., Maitland; $9; 407-629-0054; enzian.org.
clear Annie does all she can to stay stable and responsible for her daughter, but readers and viewers of Misery, who know what she is (eventually) capable of, will be riveted by Annie’s unpredictable trajectory. The two live in a crappy cabin on the outskirts of town, renting from “Ace” Merrill (Boardwalk Empire’s Paul Sparks), a racist jerk (as he was in Stand by Me, played by Kiefer Sutherland) whose father, “Pop” (Tim Robbins, aka Andy Dufresne in The Shawshank Redemption), is an army vet and a prominent businessmen. Pop adopted two Somali refugees, a brother and sister, after the war in Mogadishu. Abdi Omar (Captain Phillips’ Barkhad Abdi) is now managing the construction of a new Somali cultural center and his sister, Nadia (Yusra Warsama), is a doctor at the local hospital where Annie finds a job as a night nurse. Did I mention it’s a small town and everyone’s up in everybody else’s business? They’re not far from another town: Jerusalem’s Lot, known to locals as ’Salem’s Lot. Like Castle Rock, ’Salem’s Lot has strange folklore and gruesome legends: Things happen here that don’t happen anywhere else. Young folks can’t wait to leave, older folks drink, racial tensions crackle, and it seems to always be a grey day in late October: shades of Trump’s rural America. And then there’s that old abandoned mansion full of squatters, drug addicts and dead people who don’t seem to stay dead; those familiar with King’s second novel will recognize the imposing Marsten House. Caplan’s portrayal of Annie Wilkes is excellent, balancing the comic aspects of the character (her old-timey aphorisms, stiff walk and Puritanical mores) with her tragic past and deepening psychosis. Via flashback (a cornerstone of Castle Rock’s storytelling), we learn of Annie’s difficult childhood and her horrible crimes. Joy also begins to unravel her mother’s mysterious past. As the fifth episode ends, the worlds of Misery and ’Salem’s Lot converge closer, and oh, constant reader, I think it’s going to be terrifying indeed. feedback@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

BY STEVE SCHNEI D ER
OPENING THIS WEEK: Black and Blue In a tale ripped from yesterday’s headlines, a rookie cop (Naomie Harris) sours on the job after she witnesses fellow members of the force murdering a drug dealer. Of course, selling dope isn’t the reason most African Americans now get shot by the fuzz. But the title Home Alone was already taken. (R) Countdown This horror flick concerns a phone app that reveals the date and time of its user’s death. See, I thought we already had an app that tells you when it’s time to die. Heard of Plenty o’ Fish? (PG-13) The Current War: Director’s Cut As Thomas Edison and George Westinghouse, Benedict Cumberbatch and Michael Shannon wage a pitched battle to determine if America will go AC or DC. Some changes have been made since the movie premiered two years ago at the Toronto International Film Festival: It now has five extra scenes, yet is 10 minutes shorter. Hey, makes sense to me. According to my Plenty o’ Fish profile, I’m two years younger than I was in 2017 but four inches taller. (PG-13) The Great Alaskan Race A true story from nearly 100 years ago inspired this drama about a sled dog team that has to beat the clock to save a bunch of kids from diphtheria. Pretty sneaky waiting to make the movie until none of the dogs were alive to demand points. (PG; opens Friday at AMC Dine-in Disney Springs 24 and AMC Altamonte Mall 18) The Lighthouse Visit orlandoweekly.com to find out what our Cameron Meier thought of
Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe’s portrayals of two men losing their grip on reality. Because as we all know, if it’s a firm tether to reality you want, the first person you should go to is a movie critic. (R) Parasite The Palme d’Or at Cannes 2019 went to Korean filmmaker Bong Joon-ho’s depiction of a duplicitous family that violently supplants the support staff of a wealthy clan. At last, a movie for people who thought Downton Abbey needed less witty barbs and more meat cleavers. (R; opens Thursday at Enzian Theater, Maitland) Western Stars Performance footage and intimate conversation help Bruce Springsteen explore the themes of his recent album, which traces the decline of a second-tier cowboy actor. Stick around for the rousing closing number, in which the lead character unexpectedly kicks Charles Manson’s ass. (PG)
ALSO PLAYING: First Love The great Takashi Miike directed this portrait of a boxer and a hooker who are pursued by sinister forces. Of course that means the yakuza; this is a Miike picture. What did you think it meant, the Shriners? (NR; playing at Regal Winter Park Village & RPX) Where’s My Roy Cohn? If Angels in America didn’t give you enough reason to hope Roy Cohn is in hell, this documentary about the famous fixer has more details about how he enabled the careers of Joe McCarthy and Donald Trump. I just wish we could figure out a way to blame him for Bruce Springsteen. (PG-13; playing at Regal Winter Park) orlandoweekly.com

IF THE KIDS ARE UNITED
Worldwide punk showcase Foreign Dissent is all about the universal language of outrage BY IDA V. ESKAMANI
I

Big Bounce America EVENTS
Jump up, jump up and get down. (Ask your parents about that reference, millennials). You don’t have to be a kid to participate in one of the biggest bounce house events in the country. You do, however, have to be OK with slides, face paint, obstacle courses, ball pits and the laughter of children. America is home to the world’s biggest ball of yarn, the world’s biggest cat and the world’s biggest people, so in patriotic fashion, Big Bounce America brings us the world’s biggest bounce house (seriously, check Guinness). If you’re an adult and want to enjoy the event with people your age, adults-only sessions are available so you can, you know, act your age while jumping in a bounce house. – Ross Nobles 1-6 p.m. | Osceola Heritage Park, 1875 Silver Spur Lane, Kissimmee | thebigbounceamerica.com | $17-$32

’80s Halloween Classics FILM
6:30 p.m. | The Nook on Robinson, 2432 E. Robinson St. | facebook.com/ thenookonrobinson | free
PHOTO COURTESY METRO GOLDWYN MAYER
While the work of directors like Jordan Peele and Ari Aster has recently thrust the horror genre to a new level of respectability, this weekend the Nook reminds us of a time when the genre was looked down upon – some would say rightly. With the exception of the opening film – Tim Burton’s supernatural comedy Beetlejuice – this triple feature captures the VHS-dominated horror scene of the 1980s. From Beyond, Stuart Gordon’s follow-up to Re-Animator, adapts another H.P. Lovecraft story and uses much of the same cast as his previous film. Follow that up with true cult classic Return of the Living Dead – which notably has one of the best ’80s soundtracks of all time – and you’ve got one of the best horror programs in town, all for free. – Thaddeus McCollum

The Schizophonics MUSIC
OUR PICKS FOR THE BEST EVENTS THIS WEEK
The Schizophonics check all the boxes for a true garage-rock band, but it’s way too reductive to call them that. Fevered disciples at the altars of proto-punk and hard soul, their breed of rock & roll is revivalism on fire. Over this decade, the San Diego trio have steadily racked up scene cred alongside names like Rocket From the Crypt, the Woggles and El Vez, for whom they served as a backing band. It’s their unchained live shows, however, that have set them apart from not just their peers but even most of their idols. On stage, they are the sonic animalism of the MC5 fronted by the electric physicality of James Brown. Besides a wildfire performance, expect this concert to be a lit preview of their amazing upcoming album, People in the Sky, which will drop next week on Pig Baby Records. Two of Orlando’s own most devout bands – the Wildtones and local Pig Baby labelmates Woolly Bushmen – will guarantee it’ll be a nonstop night of feral rock & roll. – Bao Le-Huu with the Wildtones, the Woolly Bushmen | 9 p.m. | Will’s Pub, 1042 N.

EVENTS
One of the largest and longest-running vegetarian and vegan festivals in the world, the Central Florida Veg Fest returns to Festival Park this fall. The family-friendly festival offers up dozens of cruelty-free bites alongside a full slate of activities, including informative panels, cooking demonstrations, animal rescue groups, live music and, of course, a drum circle.

Orlando, get ready for your 21st annual dose of Hispanic culture, brought to you by Festival Calle Orange. The 10-block fiesta features more than 40 artists, and each of the three stages will highlight the diverse culture of the Hispanic community right here in our hometown.

Juan Luis Guerra MUSIC
Dominican megastar Juan Luis Guerra, along with his musical brothers in 4:40, bring their “Literal” tour south for only two Florida stops, one of which is a sure-to-be raucous tour wrap-up show in the City Beautiful. With two Grammys, 18 Latin Grammys, and a Billboard Lifetime Achievement Award under his belt, Guerra is credited for being a worldwide musical ambassador for bachata and merengue, with hit after hit, opening doors for a younger generation of crossover performers. And you don’t have to take our word for it; look a little southwards and take note of the 130,000-strong crowd that packed into Guerra’s Miami stop at American Airlines Arena just a couple of weeks ago. You’ve been warned. – Matthew Moyer 8 p.m. | Amway Center, 400 W. Church St. | 407-440-7000 | amwaycenter.com | $56-$265.50

Orlando Pre-Pre-Fest MUSIC
Any good party-goer knows to pregame before the main event, which is exactly why Orlando’s Pre-Pre-Fest exist just days before the Fest, a three-day punk festival in Gainesville. This year’s event simply exploded in comparison to the previous years at Will’s Pub, expanding into a two-day-festival since there was no official Ybor City Pre-Fest this year. So you can expect over 30 punk bands touring across the globe and 16 comedians at the Henao Contemporary Center, across two indoor stages and a single outdoor stage. We’re excited for the extensive list of bands such as Timeshares, Taking Meds, Cool Grandma, the Spoon Dogs, Virginity and Überyou, just to name a few. There will also be plenty of vendors cooking food, selling art and swapping vinyl. – Sarah Jennifer Hardin 6 p.m. | Henao Contemporary Center, 5601 Edgewater Drive | 407-272-0317 | henaocenter.com | $10-$20 Timeshares

Architects of Air: Dodecalis ART
At this year’s Immerse downtown arts festival, British installationists Architects of Air brought their newest inflatable vinyl “luminarium,” Dodecalis, to Orlando. Inspired by natural geometric forms and cathedral architecture, the experience of moving through the huge sound- and light-filled environment can be contemplative and serene, or giggly and selfie-oriented – depending on what each viewer brings to it. Lines were long during Immerse, but the installation remains for another week if you weren’t able to experience it last week; just go to the Immerse site and purchase a ticket for “General Admission Plus Experiences (10/20-26).” Admission will be first come, first served, and the “Worlds of Corkcicle” shipping containers are also accessible with this ticket. – Jessica Bryce Young noon-7 p.m. Wednesday, 1-7 p.m. Thursday-Saturday | Seneff Arts Plaza, 419 S.

B Y DA N S AVAG E
I am a guy in my 40s, handsome, more financially successful than most, and a classic sexual scoundrel. I cheated on my ex-wife and every girlfriend I’ve ever had. I’m currently dating a woman in her 20s. We are both each other’s ideal type. She has as scandalous a past as I do but has “accomplished” more in a shorter time. We met via a hookup app. Then another one. And another one. We enjoyed each other’s company from the moment we met, and the sex was great. (We share a few not-easy-tomatch kinks.) Most of her stuff is now at my house. We’ve had many deep dives into our respective pasts. We cringe now at how we met and why we’ve hooked up with so many random people. Here’s the issue: After 12 months together, with too many breakups to count, we have no idea how to move forward. We cannot establish trust. We are in love and everything’s great … so long as we have our eyeballs on each other. Once out of direct sight, we both turn into possessive assholes. So many phones have been stolen and thrown away, I can’t count. How do two sluts find peace? Can’t Part Over Sex You’ve cheated on everyone you’ve ever been with, and your girlfriend has presumably cheated on everyone she’s ever been with. (That’s what you meant by “she has as scandalous a past as I do,” right?) But instead of embracing the cheats and sluts you both know yourselves to be and thanking your fucky stars for bringing you together, CPOS, you felt obligated to disavow your past behaviors – some of which sound legitimately terrible – and slutshame yourselves and each other. And for what? You are still the people you were before you started theatrically cringing about how you met. She doesn’t trust you not to cheat on her, and I don’t see why she should. You don’t trust her not to cheat on you, and I don’t see why you should. So why promise not to cheat? Why waste time and emotional energy policing each other for evidence of what you both know to be true: You’re going to cheat on each other. That you can trust in. So instead of making promises you can’t keep and then having meltdowns and stealing each other’s phones and breaking up and getting back together, CPOS, make a promise you can keep. Not to be faithful but to be considerate. And discreet. Promise not to do anything that makes her feel like she isn’t your top priority even if you do fuck around occasionally, and ask her to make the same promise to you. Then you can move forward as honest sluts and not lying cheats. I am in love with a happily married woman. I was the “other man” almost 20 years ago, before she was married but when she was 52
living with the man she’s with now. We fell madly in love, but we didn’t end up together. In the intervening years, we both married and had children. We’ve reconnected a couple of times over the years and it became a sexual relationship again. Here’s the tricky part: My then-wife was an undocumented immigrant. My marriage was unhappy, but for my child’s sake I couldn’t leave my wife, for fear of his mother getting deported. This year, she got her green card and we divorced. Then I reconnected with my ex again. We desperately want to get married, but she is scared to end her marriage. She’s in a relatively happy marriage, and divorce will be a bombshell. She worries about the shock and destabilizing effect on her children, who are still young. And she fears that nothing short of admitting she’s in love with someone else could end her otherwise happy marriage, but admitting that she’s been unfaithful will make co-parenting impossibly hard going forward. We agonize over this situation but can’t bear the thought of not being together. We understand that pain will have to happen, but we just don’t know what the best course of action is. Pensive And Incredibly Nervous If you two can’t wait until her kids are a little older before you marry, PAIN, then there’s no way to avoid the most painful possible version of this shitshow. But your girlfriend’s husband deserves the whole truth right out of the gate, even at the risk of complicating their co-parenting arrangements in the short run. Letting her soon-to-be-ex-husband twist in the wind wondering why his decent, loving, seemingly stable marriage suddenly collapsed would just be cruel – and pointlessly so, as he will inevitably learn the truth. You two don’t plan to marry in secret, right? Which means her soon-to-be-ex and their kids are going to find out about you, the new husband and stepfather, at some point in the very near future. The whole truth, all at once. Don’t draw it out. Inflicting pain on the installment plan won’t assuage your guilt. I’m married to a loving, handsome man. For the first several years of our relationship, we had amazing sex. At some point after moving in together, my interest in having sex with him decreased significantly. This has been a pattern in every long-term relationship I’ve ever had. Living together seems to diminish my attraction to my partner, which is hugely problematic when I am in a long-term monogamous relationship. The second problem is that my kink needs are not being met. My husband is aware of my kinks and is GGG in theory, but he lacks the skill to deliver what I’m interested in. Before I met my husband, I spent many years as a member of a very active kink

scene in a big city. I miss the friendships and experiences I had when I was able to share my kinks. Unfortunately, in addition to living in a place without access to these kinds of events and workshops, my husband is monogamous without compromise. He is unwilling to co-top me alongside another Dominant partner and unwilling to let me bottom for others solo regardless of whether sex is involved. Within the past several years, this frustration has led me to seek out the occasional experience with others, which is always discovered. My sex drive seems intact when I fantasize about hot, rough scenes with other people, but I experience very little desire for my husband. I’m at a loss. I adore this man, and haven’t ever felt like it would be worth it to leave him just so I could get my kinky needs met, but we are at an impasse. Is it even possible to find a compromise? Sex Alacrity Diminished Knowing what you do about yourself – your attraction to a partner craters after moving in together, you have a powerful need to explore your kinks with casual play partners – you shouldn’t be cohabitating and/or making monogamous commitments. But you are and you have, SAD, so what now? There’s no middle ground between an uncompromisingly monogamous marriage and the kind of freedom to explore your kinks that you need to feel fulfilled, partnered or not. But your husband caught you fucking around – or kinking around – and has presumably forgiven you, seeing as you aren’t emailing during your divorce proceedings. So perhaps if given a choice between letting you and losing you, SAD, he would let you. And who knows? If all your long-term relationships have been monogamous, and they all resulted in the end of rough and adventurous sex with new partners, well, perhaps that’s what is cratering your desire for committed partners – the limitation, not the cohabitation. And who knows? If you were free to fuck around with other people – if your husband didn’t symbolize the end of sexy adventures – maybe you’d still want to fuck him. But if he does give you the freedom to fuck around and you still don’t want to fuck him, SAD, do your husband a favor and leave him. And then no more monogamy or cohabitation for you, got it?
