PIZZA RATS

Orlando pizza franchise failed to pay 24 tipped workers overtime and hourly wages. The feds recovered over $120,000 in back pay and damages

BY MCKENNA SCHUELER

An Orlando location of the Giordano’s Pizza franchise failed to pay two dozen servers overtime and paid servers only in tips, a U.S. Department of Labor investigation found.

Both actions, as well as a failure of the employer to keep complete time and payroll records, constitute violations of federal wage and hour law.

As a result, the federal Wage and Hour division has ordered Sand Lake Pizzeria LLC, an operator of the Orlando Giordano’s Pizza franchise, to pay 24 servers $120,695 in back wages and damages.

“The operator of this Giordano’s franchise deprived employees of their rightful pay, making it much harder for them to support themselves,” Wildalí De Jesús, director of Orlando’s federal Wage and Hour Division, said in a statement.

“We can’t give them time back, but the $120,695 in wages the department recovered for these workers will go a long way toward making them whole.”

A spokesperson for the federal DOL confirmed to Orlando Weekly that out of the $120,695 recovered for workers, there was still $7,919 left unclaimed from workers they haven’t been able to locate, as of Sept. 29. The rest has been collected.

“We encourage workers who worked for this Giordano’s franchisee at West Sand Lake Road in Orlando to use our Workers Owed Wages search tool to find out if we have back wages for them,” the spokesperson added.

Sand Lake Pizzeria LLC, a registered LLC in Florida since 2008, operates out of a Giordano’s Pizza location in the Doctor Phillips area, near Universal Studios, at 6203 W. Sand Lake Road.

According to the feds, the employer illegally withheld direct cash wages for servers, paying them only in tips. The employer also failed to pay workers time and a half for hours worked over 40 in a work week, as they were legally entitled to, and failed to keep complete records of time and payroll.

The Fair Labor Standards Act, a federal policy, requires most workers (there are exceptions) to be paid a minimum $7.25 per hour, or $2.13 in direct cash wages for tipped workers. Florida’s state minimum wage for tipped workers is currently $8.98 an hour, as of Sept. 30.

The federal agency, however, can only enforce federal wage and hour laws, meaning it cannot

enforce Florida’s state minimum wage or tipped wage. A comparable state agency in Florida, empowered to enforce the state’s minimum wage law, no longer exists after being dismantled over 20 years ago.

According to the federal investigation, the employer of the Orlando pizza franchise told investigators that they’d contracted a third-party service to manage payroll, and that the service provider hadn’t raised any alarm bells about their payment practices.

The feds say this is no excuse.

Employers, said De Jesús, are “ultimately responsible” for making sure workers are getting paid correctly, even if they’re using a third-party service provider.

“The Wage and Hour Division encourages all employers to use the free online tools we offer to help them comply with the law or to call us for assistance,” De Jesús added.

Founded in Chicago, Giordano’s Pizza is known for its deep-dish pizza. The franchise has 64 locations in nine states, including Florida. Only the franchise location in Orlando near Universal Studios was found to have violated federal wage and hour law.

But Giordano’s Pizza isn’t the only Orlando employer found by the federal government to have shorted their employees lawfully owed wages this year.

In January, Orlando Health was forced by the federal Labor Department to pay out $244,000 in back wages to 49 employees after the notfor-profit organization failed to pay workers overtime premiums, allowed workers to work off the clock, and failed to keep accurate records of hours worked at four Orlando Health sites.

The federal department this year also recovered $144,000 in back pay and damages for hospitality workers of an Orlando-based cleaning company.

And last year, a federal investigation found a Lake Mary roofing contracting company had violated child labor law, in addition to other wage and hour violations.

The U.S. Department of Labor keeps a national database of workers who are owed wages. If you believe your employer has unlawfully withheld your wages, tips, or has engaged in other forms of wage theft, such as requiring you to work off the clock, you can file a complaint with the federal government online.

With a slew of new rides and attractions coming to its parks and more new cruise ships on the way, Disney is still thinking about how much more it can spend to expand its Parks, Experiences and Products segment. Last week, the entertainment company announced that over the next 10 years, it aims to invest roughly $60 billion in its parks and cruises. That’s nearly double what it’s invested over the past decade. The staggering news came during a September investor summit with senior Disney executives and groups of Wall Street analysts and investors at Walt Disney World.

“Throughout our history, we’ve created enormous growth by investing the right amount of capital into the right projects at the right moment,” CEO Bob Iger said. “We are planning to turbocharge our growth yet again with a robust amount of strategic investment in this business.”

In a company post, Disney broke down the investment strategy into categories of stories, scale and fans.

Over the last 10 years, Disney has brought blockbuster IPs like Marvel, Star Wars, Toy Story and Avatar to its parks through immersive lands and attractions. Now there are dozens of di erent projects in the works across its domestic and international parks, including opening Frozen lands in Hong Kong, Paris and Tokyo and a Zootopia land in Shanghai.

At last month’s annual Destination D23 in Orlando, the company also detailed several new attractions and updates coming soon to

Disney World. During a shareholder meeting in April, Iger announced plans to invest $17 billion in Disney World over the next decade, which he said would create nearly 13,000 new jobs with the company.

“We have a wealth of untapped stories to bring to life across our business,” Parks Chairman Josh D’Amaro said. “Frozen, one of the most successful and popular animated franchises of all time, could have a presence at the Disneyland Resort. Wakanda has yet to be brought to life. The world of Coco is just waiting to be explored. There’s a lot of storytelling opportunity.”

As for the scale category, Disney noted it has over 1,000 acres of land for possible future development, which it says is the equivalent of about seven new Disneylands. That doesn’t mean there will be seven new theme parks, and the company didn’t specify where all that land is. However, it wouldn’t be surprising to see more of Disney World’s 25,000-plus acres of land in Florida get more use.

Then there are the fans. Disney’s theme parks are among the most visited in the world, especially the Orlando parks. Magic Kingdom remains the most visited theme park in the world, and Disney parks overall see about 100 million guests each year.

But Disney wants to reach more people and make them fans of the parks as well. According to the company’s internal research, it estimates there are more than 700 million people who are fans of Disney but haven’t reached the parks.

» Downtown Orlando urban park and ‘creative epicenter’ aims for a winter opening

There looks to be a new arts venue coming to downtown Orlando. The City District — the Main Street district organization that encompasses downtown’s central business district and entertainment stakeholders — posted a construction update for this project on their Instagram account this week, and work is continuing apace on the new “urban pocket park.” Ground was originally broken for this new venue back in 2021. Located at the corner of Robinson Street and Orange Avenue, this new outdoor arts venue is slated to offer “affordable gallery space, free events, open-air seating, an outdoor café, space for food trucks, an LED video wall and a stage with state-of-the-art sound and lights.” And sure enough, there’s an accompanying website for Art2 (Art Squared) that promises a winter opening, though whether that means late 2023 or early next year isn’t spelled out explicitly. Though the project sounds promising, we can’t help being our curmudgeonly selves and recollecting the City of Orlando’s 2020 plans to transform the area between West Washington Street and West Church Street under I-4 into the ambitious “Under-I urban park.” There was much outcry over losing the parking spaces that the Under-I would displace and lo and behold, by 2022, that plan was scrapped to instead use the space for … more parking.

» Gatorland alligator missing half its jaw named ‘Jawlene’ to honor Dolly Parton

A young alligator missing the upper half its jaw recently found a home and a path to recovery at Orlando’s Gatorland. Now she has a name to match her new-found fame. Last Thursday, Gatorland officially introduced Jawlene, the half-snouted namesake of Dolly Parton’s “Jolene.” Mark McHugh, Gatorland CEO, said in a video posted to Facebook, “This little gator is an absolute treasure ... but another American treasure is Dolly Parton.”“Dolly Parton all day!” echoed wildlife educator Savannah Boan before breaking into song. Gatorland employees said Jawlene marked another milestone by eating two mice on her own. Although she’s gaining weight and showing signs of improvement, the gator is currently being isolated in her own pool while she makes her recovery. The alligator was brought into the reptile and alligator attraction park by the trapper who rescued it. It’s believed the alligator was injured by a boat propeller years ago and survived, Gatorland said. The park’s vet has administered a full examination of the alligator and taken it into the park’s care. Gatorland accepted the animal as part of its Gatorland Global program, which aims to conserve and protect alligators and crocodiles in and outside of Florida. Gatorland employees said they will consider getting Jawlene a prosthetic jaw attachment in the future. But for now, she’s in rest and recovery mode.

» Florida Republican wants to designate State Road A1A as ‘Jimmy Buffet Memorial Highway’

A House Republican filed a proposal last Friday that would designate State Road A1A as “Jimmy Buffett Memorial Highway” to honor the musician who died Sept. 1 at age 76. The proposed designation would include counties from Monroe County to Nassau County. Rep. Chuck Clemons, R-Newberry, filed the bill (HB 91) for consideration during the legislative session that will begin in January. Backed in the studio and on tour by the Coral Reefer Band, the Mississippi-born Buffett was best known for an island vibe reflecting the Florida Keys.

» U.S. Supreme Court to hear First Amendment fight over Florida’s ‘Big Tech’ social media law

The U.S. Supreme Court said last Friday it will take up a First Amendment fight about a 2021 Florida law that placed restrictions on major social-media companies. The Court will hear cases involving the Florida law and a similar measure in Texas. Both sides in the Florida case, along with the U.S. solicitor general, had urged justices to take up the issues. The industry groups NetChoice and the Computer & Communications Industry Association challenged the constitutionality of the Florida law, which placed restrictions on large social-media companies such as Facebook and Twitter, now known as X. Gov. Ron DeSantis made a priority of the issue after Twitter and Facebook blocked former President Donald Trump from their platforms after Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. U.S. District Judge Robert Hinkle issued a preliminary injunction against the measure, describing it as “riddled with imprecision and ambiguity.” The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals last year upheld much of the preliminary injunction, though it said parts of the

law could take effect. The Supreme Court’s order said justices would review two parts of the Florida law that the 11th Circuit blocked. U.S. Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar and other Department of Justice attorneys in August urged the court to consider those issues and to uphold the injunction.

» Group files federal lawsuit challenging Florida’s controversial bathroom law

A group of transgender and nonbinary people last Friday filed a federal lawsuit challenging a new Florida law requiring people to use public restrooms that align with their sex assigned at birth, asking a judge to block enforcement before an upcoming march in Orlando. The lawsuit, filed in the federal Middle District of Florida, alleged that the restroom restrictions are discriminatory and violate free-speech rights. The case is the latest in a series of challenges to laws and rules approved by Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration and the Legislature targeting trans people and the LGBTQ community. The challenge centers on a law (HB 1521) passed this spring that applies to the use of restrooms and changing facilities at schools and “public buildings,” such as airports, state and local-government buildings, prisons and jails. People who use restrooms or changing facilities that differ from their sex assigned at birth and refuse to leave when asked to do so could be charged with criminal trespass. “This view of sex and gender causes irreparable harm for transgender, gender nonconforming and certain intersex people (TGNCI people) because this community’s identities may differ from their sex assigned at birth. When TGNCI people walk, talk, dress or use an affirming restroom, they communicate their gender identity in a way that society can understand,” the plaintiffs’ lawyers wrote. The law “would ban this conduct and perspective and force TGNCI people to adopt the state’s view of sex and gender instead,” they argued. According to the lawsuit, an estimated 1,000 people are expected Oct. 7 to attend the National March to Protect Trans Youth in downtown Orlando.

To say jazz titan Sam Rivers made a big impression on music is an understatement. To say that he left a bigger impression on the creative community here in Central Florida might be even more so. And in a way, it’s all coming full circle when the Orange County Regional History Center presents a tribute to the fearless musician and composer, “Sam Rivers 100,” to mark what would’ve been his 100th birthday.

Samuel Carthorne Rivers was one of the finest artists to ever lay hands to the great American art form of jazz, in a career that spanned the 1950s through to the early part of the 21st century. Rivers took jazz to dizzying new heights with prolific creative energy and a style that was distinctly his own. Be it in solo, trio or larger ensemble configurations, Rivers demonstrated a virtuosity that was both adventurous and accessible.

Although not (yet!) a household name like Miles Davis or Dizzy Gillespie, he did play in their bands. Rivers, in fact, performed alongside a jaw-dropping coterie of masters: Herbie Hancock, Dave Holland, Anthony Braxton, Donald Byrd, Freddie Hubbard and Elvin Jones, to name just a few.

Rivers recorded for blue-chip record labels like Blue Note, ECM, Tzadik and Impulse, giving him tastemaker cult-status and mystique with rare groove distinction. Rivers has been sampled and covered to the point that his ode to his wife, “Beatrice,” is a standard on par with the likes of “Night and Day” and “The Girl From Ipanema.”

All combined, the argument is easily made that Rivers is one of the most accomplished artists in Orlando’s, if not Florida’s, history. The degree of his experience and breadth of creativity brought the possibilities of what a true artist could be to our local doorstep. His legacy resonates still, serving as an example to successive generations of musicians.

Starting in the 1980s and on through the latter years of his life, Rivers resided in the City Beautiful and found steady work with live dates. From there his presence became known and buzzed about in the scene as he began to play with local musicians, many actively seeking him out.

Rivers’ timing was right in step with how Central Florida was developing creatively. The fruits of this can be seen in the programming of Timucua Arts Foundation — who are planning a monthly series of Rivers’ work in 2024 — the Civic Minded 5, Will’s Pub, Blue Bamboo Center, the Social, Dr. Phillips Performing Arts, WPRK and the Rollins Museum of Art.

Orlando looks back at Sam Rivers’ legacy, on what would have been his 100th birthday

Matt Gorney, Rivers’ right-hand man during his Orlando renaissance, acting as his manager back then, speaks on the importance of Rivers’ Orlando shows: “Sam’s multitude of concerts in Florida left a visceral impression on so many music fans and musicians. We’ll celebrate his centenary alongside our fortunes in the extensive access to his music and his social interfaces around town, and also get a collective refresh of our memories. He allowed us to be a bigger part of his time here than I ever imagined would happen.”

From one end of the country to the other, there’s a definite Sam Rivers vibe in the air, and the History Center’s “Sam Rivers 100” panel on Friday, Oct. 7, is a key part of this zeitgeist. Talents like Rivers’ bandmate Doug Mathews, jazz scholar Michael Heller from the University of Pittsburgh (which is home to Rivers’ archive), writer Rick Lopez — author of the staggeringly thorough Sam Rivers Sessionography — and Rivers’ daughter Monique Rivers Rencher will be on hand for a panel discussion moderated by Gorney.

Friday evening, the Social — a stage Rivers played almost innumerable times over the years — hosts a “Sam Rivers 100” concert featuring the 16-strong Sam Rivers Rejuvenation Orchestra, featuring many of Rivers’ collaborators and comrades. (Meanwhile, NYC’s Harlem Jazz Boxx celebrated the centenary Sept. 22, while on the West Coast, maestros Billy Harper and Mark Masters are mounting their own “Sam Rivers 100” celebration with a live show at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art Oct. 13.)

In advance of this celebration, Orlando Weekly reached out respected voices in the jazz world to speak on Rivers’ indelible legacy and artistry.

First up is the celebrated saxophonist Billy Harper: “He was the building blocks of jazz music. He’s the stepping stone to go to the next place.”

Grammy-winning author, producer and historian Ashley Kahn praises Rivers’ DIY ethos: “The most amazing thing about Sam is that DIY aspect that he had. He wasn’t waiting for the various institutions and the cultural systems to support him, he was taking charge. He and his wife, Beatrice, set up RivBea Studios in the West Village [in the 1970s] in a loft space as a performance center for active artists, and then when the costs and challenges of being in Manhattan became too much, he and Bea transplanted that idea to Orlando. It was such a genius idea because to keep his own music and vision alive, he needed players who

were schooled and experienced, able to play a wide variety of sounds and styles. Orlando is one of those places where there’s a lot of live music happening, and therefore it supports a very active, a fertile musical community.”

To emphasize the loft scene’s importance and what that DIY commitment brought to Central Florida, critic John Litweiler posited that “New York loft jazz meant free jazz in the ’70s” and called Studio RivBea “the most famous of the lofts.”

It was during that same loft scene that jazz musician and artist Oliver Lake found work and camaraderie with Rivers early in his career. “He was the first person to hire me when I came to New York. For him to hire me right away, to make that first connection and to be in that group of his loft space, was very inspiring,” recalls Lake. “He was so prolific and original. Looking at his compositions, I can say when I started my big band it was because of the inspiration I got from him.”

A regular at the Studio RivBea loft was Grammy-winning producer and writer Michael Cuscuna, whose credits include a comprehensive Mosaic box set of Rivers’ Blue Note recordings.

“He had a very special aura about him. He was tall and lanky and very quiet, very dignified, and carried himself in a self-contained way,” says Cuscuna.

“He was comfortable in his own skin.”

The versatile, not to mention gregarious, trumpeter and composer Steven Bernstein — of Sex Mob and Lounge Lizards infamy — recorded Diaspora Blues with Sam in Orlando around 2002. Before that he saw Rivers play live at the tender age of 9. Bernstein remembers,“He would wear this lime-green turtleneck, he had these incredible bell bottoms and those hats! Sam was a very visceral person; anyone who is a successful entertainer creates an impression that’s beyond just the music. The music in a sense was abstract, the experience was not.”

“We did a concert while we were there on Matt Gorney’s roof and there was a full moon and even an eclipse! I don’t know, it was some kind of wild spiritual night. It was crazy. It was really a magical experience to do.”

Visceral, that recurring word, may be the choice word here to sum things up. But let’s not forget spiritual, committed, unique, virtuosic and adventurous. Rivers made our corner of the world a better place.

Thank you, Sam. Here’s to the next 100 years. music@orlandoweekly.com

Spooky season

Top picks for scary and not-so-scary Halloween events and attractions in Central Florida

BY CHELSEA ZUKOWSKI

Florida may not have crisp fall mornings, changing leaves or apple picking, but it does have the best Halloween attractions in the country. We’re definitely not biased or anything.

As the theme park capital of the world, there are, of course, both scary and not-so-scary events at all the major parks in Central Florida. But there are also a number of haunted trails and drive-throughs, immersive creepy carnivals, and Florida wildlife-filled attractions. In fact, there’s a little Halloween something for everyone, so here are our top picks for tricks and treats in Orlando and beyond.

Theme park haunts

Universal Orlando arguably has the biggest Halloween event in the state — Halloween Horror Nights.

The seriously scary after-hours event features 10 haunted houses, half a dozen scare zones and live entertainment themed after blockbuster IP and original spooky stories.

The most popular houses at this year’s event include The Last of Us, inspired by the legendary Playstation game, and Stranger Things 4. There’s also an Exorcist: Believer house, which is a stomach-churning walk-through of the upcoming film’s trailer.

Beyond the scares, there are plenty of inspired dishes plus some liquid courage for the night — from cordyceps corndogs and Surfer Boy Pizza to FEDRA ravioli rations and the monstrosity that

is Dr. Oddfellow’s “carn-evil” dog.

And while you’re jammin’ in the Vamp 69 scare zone or waiting in line for twisted taters, be on the lookout for HHN fans trading spooky friendship bracelets. Halloween Horror Nights 32 runs select nights through Nov. 4.

Down the road at SeaWorld Orlando, the park brought back a siren-themed Howl-O-Scream. There are five haunted houses, plus plenty of scare zones and roaming scare actors, two live shows, and several themed bars. One of the coolest things about SeaWorld’s Halloween event is that many of its attractions are themed after sea creatures and sections of the aquatic theme park. There are creepy sirens and pirates, a Carn-Evil Pier, a haunted tavern and attractions inspired by the horrors of the icy Arctic. Howl-O-Scream at SeaWorld Orlando runs select nights through Oct. 31.

Family-friendly fare

While Disney World isn’t known for being scary, its Halloween events are still just as popular. Magic Kingdom has been hosting Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party since early August. The separate ticket event is an explosion of Disney-fied Halloween with costumed characters, trick-or-treating around the park, themed snacks and drinks, live entertainment and a grand-finale fireworks show.

One of the most popular parts of the event is the Boo-to-You Halloween Parade, whose stars include Haunted Mansion happy haunts and

the Headless Horseman. This event is also the only one where guests can meet Jack and Sally Skellington from A Nightmare Before Christmas. The party runs select nights through Nov. 1.

During the day, Magic Kingdom is covered in fall decor and its famous Mickey pumpkins. Seasonal food and drinks and merchandise are available in all of the parks as well as Disney Springs, which is equally as decorated for the holiday.

Over in Winter Haven, Legoland Florida celebrates its popular Brick or Treat through Oct. 29, and it’s included with park admission. The family-friendly event includes trick-or-treating around the park, a new fireworks show, Halloween Lego characters, and specialty fall food and drink offerings. The park’s new Monster Party menu includes apple fries with pumpkin spice soft-serve, Churros de los Muertos, seasonal beer and cider and more. As for attractions, there’s the V.I.M. (Very Important Monster) Dance Party with Lord Vampyre, a new Lego Plant Monster and the Jammin’ Jacks singing jack-o’-lantern trio. The Dragon Party Coaster also gets a Halloween makeover with monster mash music for rides in the dark.

A fun event for the littlest Halloween fans is at Gaylord Palms Resort. Its Goblins & Giggles festivities run through Oct. 29. The weekend event has live entertainment and activities available even for those who aren’t resort guests, including “The Phantom of the Atrium” musical light show at 9 p.m. nightly. Saturdays feature trick-or-treating in the atrium (hotel guests only), movie screenings with Spookley the Square Pumpkin and animal encounters with some of Florida’s creepiest critters. There’s also the JackO’-Lantern Walk with Florida-inspired carved pumpkins, which is free for all.

Check out all the other Halloween activities and fall vacation packages at GaylordPalms.com.

For an authentic Florida Halloween experience, head over to Gatorland for the park’s Gators, Ghosts and Goblins. For its fifth year, the event features a new Swamp Ghost’s Monster Museum exhibit, family-friendly haunt zones

like The Creepy Creature Carnival and the Old West-themed Frightful Frontier. Then there’s the Cryptid Express, which takes you on a mission to find the Florida skunk ape and mythological creatures like Moth Man and the chupacabra. There are also interactive Halloween characters, animal encounters, a costume contest for kids, candy giveaways, games and vendors. Gators, Ghosts and Goblins is included with park admission and runs Oct. 14-15, 21-22 and 28-29.

Don’t forget to say hi to Gatorland’s newest alligator resident, Jawlene, who was found with the upper half of her jaw missing and taken in for rehabilitation by this park’s wildlife experts.

Beyond the parks

If you’re looking for a truly unique and immersive scare, Scream-A-Geddon has been dubbed the scariest in the state. The event in rural Dade City features six haunted attractions, a Monster Midway and Bonzo the Clown’s beer garden. What sets Scream-A-Geddon apart from other haunted house hubs is its interactivity. Attractions like Breach and Ravenhill Asylum include a chance to opt in and “truly interact with the creatures within.” You must be at least 18 to be “marked,” which means the scare actors can grab you, hold you back, send you into hidden cells, separate you from your group or force you to remain inside the haunted house. So, if that’s your thing, Scream-A-Geddon is open nightly through Nov. 4.

Over in Plant City, Sir Henry’s Haunted Trail celebrates 10 years of spooky holiday attractions this year. There are themed horror trails, escape room experiences, laser tag and a new haunted hayride. There’s also a pack of roaming scare actors, axe-throwing, and food and drink vendors.

The three haunted trails this year include the werewolf-filled Moonlight Massacre, Sir Henry’s Tales of the Dead and Wicked Waters. To get the full experience and brush up on the original lore, check out the book series of Sir Henry’s Haunted Tales and Sir Henry Loves Revenge. Sir Henry’s Haunted Trail is open Fridays and weekends through Nov. 4.

In Tavares (northwest of Orlando in Lake County), Far Reach Ranch turns into the Fear Reach Scream Park on Fridays and Saturdays plus Halloween night (a not-very-festive Tuesday this year). The haunted ranch features three attractions — Blood Line Barn, Grimoire Manor and Chainsaw Chase — plus a full bar, a live Halloween band, carnival games, and food and drinks. Get more information and tickets and watch an excellent homemade teaser video for the attraction at FearReachScreamPark.com. feedback@orlandoweekly.com

After a decade of jealously watching Universal Orlando open one E-ticket attraction after another, Walt Disney World fans finally have some new reasons to celebrate. Disney CEO Bob Iger and Parks Chairman Josh D’Amaro recently announced $60 billion in investments worldwide (see page 7), which should include new Indiana Jones and Encanto attractions in Animal Kingdom and a major expansion behind Magic Kingdom’s Big Thunder Mountain. Later this month, the remaking of EPCOT will mark another major milestone when World Nature (the area formerly known as Future World West) finally clears away the final construction walls surrounding its long-anticipated addition, and guests are already lining up around the corner for the return of an old favorite. But as the theme park gods giveth, they also taketh away, and these hopeful beginnings sadly coincide with

the demise of a bold experiment in interactive entertainment that was extinguished a long, long time before it deserved to go.

Last week, I was among the many WDW annual passholders invited to participate in previews of EPCOT’s new Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana (yes, that’s a comma, not a colon), which officially opens to the public Oct. 16. Normally I’d avoid reviewing an attraction when it still has weeks before its formal debut, but Journey of Water is already the most aesthetically pleasing and educational addition to EPCOT in ages. Proving the industry adage that no idea ever truly dies at Disney Imagineering, this walk-through fulfills proposals from the 20-year-old Eisner era “Project Gemini” plans — as originally leaked by one-time Orlando Weekly columnist Jim Hill — and replaces the dated corporate exhibits of Innoventions (originally Communicore) with a lushly landscaped oasis that puts the “park” back into theme park.

Meandering pathways lead guests through a series of interactive stations that subtly explain the all-important water cycle, making Journey of Water the most ambitious (and expensive) splash pad you’ve ever seen. In one corner, streams of water trigger musical chimes when touched, like liquid harp strings; in another, fountains leap as guests flail their arms and geysers gush

up to meet outstretched palms. The grand finale is themed to an ocean cove, where groups of grownups can work together to trigger an enormous wave, while their little ones get soggy on the artificial shoreline. Perhaps most surprisingly, the intellectual property isn’t shoved in your face; soothing instrumental versions of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s tunes are woven into the soundscape, and hidden bas-relief sculptures of the movie’s stars form a scavenger hunt of sorts, but if you want to meet Moana you’ll have to go find her meet-and-greet outside the attraction.

Visitors can dive into Journey of Water as deeply as they like, or keep their feet dry (literally and metaphorically) while still enjoying themselves. Each portion of the attraction involving water also offers a dry alternate route for service animals or anyone else, and every interactive element is accessible to children and guests in wheelchairs, though some are tough if you can’t bend down. You can remain unmoistened while admiring the masterfully sculpted rockwork and reading the informative plaques; or you can ignore the ecological infotainment and simply start splashing — you do you. My only advice is that you tour Journey of Water just at or after sunset, when it looks twice as beautiful and feels 10 times less humid.

Fortunately, once the initial demand dies

down you shouldn’t have to stand in line to enjoy this Journey, but another limited-time addition nearby does demand you queue, or at least cough up for Genie+ Lightning Lane access. The Soarin’ simulator has temporarily reverted to its original “Soarin’ Over California” incarnation, and wait times have significantly increased. I’ve never hated the CGI-heavy “Around the World” version as much as many do, but seeing — and smelling — the orange groves and Pacific coast reminded me again how much more satisfying the original’s pacing and scale felt. And although this digital transfer (with artificial-looking HDR colors) doesn’t look as good as the long-lost celluloid prints, the presentation looks sharper in Orlando than it did during Disney California Adventure’s last Food & Wine Festival in Anaheim.

I’d love to end on a high note, but unfortunately I must address the untimely end of the Halcyon — better known as the Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser — which concluded its cruises to Batuu with the kind of hard landing not even Anakin Skywalker could walk away from, less than two years after its much-ballyhooed launch. Since the two-night adventure cost more than my annual vacation budget, I never got to experience it firsthand, but it had a profound impact on everyone I know who went. On Sept. 29, during the interactive hotel’s final “shore leave” in Disney’s Hollywood Studios’ Galaxy’s Edge, I encountered a group of Starcruiser alumni bidding participants farewell.

Tragically, in order to turn their $300 million investment into a tax write-off, Disney will be unable to repurpose most of Halcyon’s most innovative features inside the park as promised, like roving droids and in-depth interactivity. Personally, my biggest hope is that the talented performers and creators, who are now paying with their jobs for mistakes made by accountants and marketers, all reached the escape pods and landed safely somewhere in the Epic Universe sector, where I’m certain they’ll be welcomed with open arms.

GUTTER MOUTH

Primrose Lanes, the gorgeous Milk District bowling alley–restaurant hybrid, bowled us over with striking dishes

BY FAIYAZ KARA

Team Market Group certainly has its fair share of haters and, frankly, it’s not surprising. Headed up by bro-founders Romi, Daniel and Keith Mawardi, TMG has been on a tear over the past five years boosting this city’s nightlife, entertainment and dining options and doing so with the sort of verve that breeds envy, spite and, yep, a bit of contempt. There are allegations of gentrification, complaints of trend-ification, and charges of price amplification — the row over the $15 hot dog served at Primrose Lanes Restaurant & Bowling Club (the Mawardis’ newest and, arguably, most ambitious venture) has been ground and stuffed to death. Naturally there are those who either can’t afford to indulge in such a seemingly grandiose concoction, or who simply refuse to entertain the thought of eating one based solely on principle. Many have railed and wailed about the $15 price tag, but believe me when I say that there’s a market for this hot dog. And believe me when I say it’s probably the best hot dog I’ve ever had the pleasure of stuffing into my yap. If you’re one to wax nostalgic about the $2 weenies served when Primrose Lanes was Colonial Lanes, consider what went into that mystery-meat tube of yore — I guarantee it wasn’t a foot-long, housemade sausage triple ground from premium cuts of ribeye, short rib, brisket and chuck, slowsmoked, then seared before being served on a brioche bun toasted in beef fat.

The dog, and scores of other items overseen by

executive chef Jason Campbell and TMG executive chef Nick Grecco, isn’t just reinventing the notion of what bowling alley food can be, but what comfort food can be, and that takes time (36 hours, in the case of the hot dog). I’ll boldly make the claim that Primrose Lanes’ menu is one of the most gush-worthy releases of the year — I couldn’t help but be roused by short rib pastrami ($29) spice-cured for two days, cooked sous-vide for 48 hours, finished off on a wood grill, sliced like a strip loin and served with thin-cut fries à la steak frites. The crown ing glory: mustard salsa verde and a rill of beef jus. That jus, by the way, takes a couple of days to make and also accompanies the smoked prime rib sandwich ($27), a handheld well worth its weight in meat. The cut is butchered in-house, rubbed with a secret blend, air-dried for two days, then slow-smoked.

You see that methodical and deliberate approach in starters like the hash brown bites ($12), which resemble Thomas Keller’s potato pavé more than they do a Waffle House breakfast smash. Shredded potatoes, seasoned and blended with cream, eggs and cheese, are baked, pressed overnight, then cut into cubes with laser precision. After a quick fry,

PRIMROSE LANES RESTAURANT & BOWLING CLUB

they’re tossed in malt vinegar and salt, and topped with garlic crème fraîche, chives and smoked trout roe. Campbell and Grecco aren’t ones to take the easy road, in case that hasn’t been made clear by now, and that enthusiastic drive is why the Mawardis snagged the formidable pair for their burgeoning little empire.

I’ll spare you any additional rhapsodic effulgence by just saying this: Get the “Funyun” fried onions ($12) and enjoy them with Campbell’s “OKC” double smashburger ($18). They, too, make a formidable pair. The former has spring onions coated in a cornmeal-style tempura that’s flavored to mimic the taste and crunch of Funyuns; the latter employs two 4-ounce Creekstone Farms patties smashed with onions. “Gotta do the onion slurp when you take a bite,” Campbell says before offering a pro tip: “Add a side of beef jus for dipping.”

It’s a winning combination, whether enjoyed in Primrose Lanes’ main dining area, at the tiered bar, in the comfy lounge or in the bowling area, where eight lanes have been salvaged from the original Colonial Lanes and restored. In fact, a lot of materials from the original bowling alley and cocktail bar have been repurposed into the design and furnishings of Primrose Lanes and given due deference. It’s a stunning space, and utterly unique in what it brings to the community, $15 hot dog or otherwise.

Yes, the Mawardis may be the kingpins of the restaurant and nightlife scene in this city, but they’re also the boys who live down the lane. fkara@orlandoweekly.com

OPENINGS and CLOSINGS:

DoveCote Restaurant (formerly DoveCote Brasserie) is moving from its current downtown location on the ground floor of the old Bank of America building at 390 S. Orange Ave. The new location will be revealed “in the coming months,” according to a press release, but owner/managing partner Rob Tazioli added he wants to “build an inclusive community space for large and small gatherings that reflect the diversity and rich culture of Orlando.” In 2021, the restaurant filed a lawsuit against its landlord, SWVP, for racial discrimination, alleging the landlord wanted to evict DoveCote for hosting Black- and Hispanic-geared events. Then, last week, the restaurant itself came under fire for allegedly discriminating against Black customers, who say they were told to leave after exceeding a time limit on their table.

Miami-based developer Shoma Group will debut Shoma Bazaar inside their 550 Shoma project at 550 Mariposa St. in South Eola. The food hall-like bazaar is being dubbed “a world-class culinary and beverage destination” combining “some of Orlando’s best culinary talent.” Completion of 550 Shoma is expected to be sometime in 2026 … Sushi Saint, a handroll bar and sushi lounge by Soseki’s Michael Collantes, will open in the Brew Theory Marketplace space at 400 Pittman St. later this month. Lwin Siss, former executive chef of Komodo Miami, will head up the kitchen … Sweet Buns Bakery & Cafe, the late-night Hong Kong-style diner by John Zhao (YH Seafood Clubhouse) opening in the old King Crab Shack building at 2021 E. Colonial Drive in Mills 50, is getting a name change and a concept tweak. It will now be called Bakery 1908 and serve a full roster of steamed, pan-fried and soup dumplings, as well as a rotation of dim sum items, coffee and boba. Look for it open at the end of the month. Zhao is partnering with a bakery established in Taiwan in 1908, thus the name. Zhao will also open international big-city ramen chain Kyuramen inside the University Shoppes near UCF next month.

Fluffy Fluffy Dessert Café, the Torontobased Japanese pancake house, has opened its first stateside outpost at 2008 E. Colonial Drive in Mills 50 … Rosso Coffee Bar has left the Marketplace at Avalon Park and moved into the space formerly occupied by Japanese coffee house La Kuma at 840 E. State Road 434 in Longwood.

(NOTE: All premiere dates remain subject to change as long as the actors’ strike continues. Meanwhile, over at the Writers’ Guild, it’s Chivas and NFTs for everybody!)

Premieres Wednesday:

Beckham — Actor-turned-director Fisher Stevens brings us a four-part docuseries about the U.K. football legend who made sports history with Manchester United, then scuttled his entire legacy by teaching a generation of men that man buns were somehow acceptable. (Netflix)

Race to the Summit — Follow rival climbers on a dizzying race up the north face of the Swiss Alps. Destined to take a place of honor next to Man on Wire on your “At Least I’m Not a Damn Fool” playlist. (Netflix)

Premieres Thursday:

Bargain — A bunch of South Koreans are trapped in a motel by an earthquake and have to learn to negotiate with one another to survive. But tensions are bound to flare when

they realize the only shows they can get on the TV are from South Korea. (Paramount+)

Everything Now — Fresh out of the hospital after being treated for anorexia, a British teen draws up a bucket list of things she needs to do to catch up in life. In this context, I’m assuming “bucket list” refers to KFC. (Netflix)

Lupin — Season 3 finds antihero Assane Diop thinking of beating a bogus murder rap by leaving France and taking his family with him. Listen, Assane, nobody said you had to give us a reason. (Netflix)

Marvel’s Loki — Season 2 promises even weirder time-hopping escapades, with Sophia DiMartino’s Sylvie clearing her head by working at a McDonald’s in 1982. Chaos ensues when she invents the McFlurry 13 years early and then becomes the first person to break the machine five minutes later.

(Disney+)

Our Flag Means Death — Can gay pirates Stede

and Ed rekindle their scuttled romance in Season 2? Or will they just be left playing with their dinghies? (Max)

Ballerina — A lady bodyguard who’s an expert in martial arts goes on a mission of revenge on behalf of her dead best friend. And guess where it all takes place?

A Deadly Invitation — Comedy and suspense are both in the offing when a Mexican woman tries to apply what she’s learned from truecrime stories to solving the murder of her sister.

Listen, you’re not going to land Tim Scott without putting in the work. (Prime Video)

Fair Play — A clandestine romance between hedge-fund employees turns sour when she gets a promotion and he doesn’t. I think this calls for a sweeping, symbolic gesture on somebody’s part. And I think that gesture is “Mojo Dojo Casa House.” (Netflix)

Undead Unluck — Another hit manga turned anime, this one exploring the bond between a young woman who can’t stop killing people and a guy who’d love to die but can’t. Somebody really dropped the ball if the soundtrack isn’t by Taylor Swift, because that sounds like every one of her relationships right there. (Hulu)

Totally Killer — It’s Halloween meets Back to the Future as a teen who’s being stalked by a psycho killer is catapulted back to the start of his murderous career.

Premieres Monday:

The Mill — Lil Rel Howery makes a return to culturally symbolic genre pictures in his role as a businessman who suddenly finds himself a workhorse in a desolate prison yard. Shot in New Jersey, because that’s exactly what it’s like there. (Hulu)

Stranded With My Mother-in-Law — Brazilian programming shows its sadistic side (there’s another?), sending six couples to a deserted island to compete for big bucks and then springing it on them that their mothers-in law are going to be involved too. Now we can all breathe a sigh of relief that, after Temptation Island and The Ultimatum, the reality genre has finally completed the triumvirate “fuck, marry, kill.” (Netflix)

Premieres Tuesday:

Last One Standing — It’s Season 2 for the hit Japanese hybrid show that makes comedians punch up a crime-drama story with off-thecuff gags. Poor David Caruso pioneered this years ago, but he didn’t know he was doing it. (Netflix)

Mr. Dressup: The Magic of Make-Believe — Canadian show-biz stars salute the enduring influence of kids’ TV legend Ernie “Mr. Dressup” Coombs, who was a mainstay of their country’s culture for three decades. Next month: Carly Rae Jepsen honors the legacy of Chilliwack! (Prime Video)

CONCERT PICKS THIS WEEK

Riff Raff, Shinobi Stalin: There’s simply nobody else like cult rapper Riff Raff — that is, if you don’t count James Franco’s character in Spring Breakers. Well, at least there’s no one else like him IRL. Equal parts concept, cartoon and comedy, the Neon Icon himself is a self-styled spectacle who straddles absurdity and fabulousness like a premier performance artist. But as hilarious as he is, the Vanilla Gorilla’s never the punchline of the joke. Instead, he works all the ridiculousness like a freak maestro to make the Riff Raff experience an undeniable phenomenon. Opening will be credentialed Orlando hip-hop veteran Shinobi Stalin. (7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 6, Tuffy’s Music Box, $30-$75)

Avey Tare, Geologist: Between Dave Portner’s own band and the opener, the bill for Avey Tare’s last Orlando show in 2019 featured three-quarters of legendary experimental pop band Animal Collective, which is actually more than is necessarily required to make an Animal Collective album. Well, with AC bandmate Brian Weitz’s Geologist act featured on the bill, this show will again pack the same star power. The 2019 show was a live reminder of why the members of Animal Collective are kings of modern psych pop, even as individual artists. This lineup comes to town behind Avey Tare’s first new album in four years (7s) and only a week after the drop of Animal Collective’s brand-new album (Isn’t It Now?), so expect spirits to be as high as the frequency. (6 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 8, The Social, $20)

LOCAL RELEASES

Over the past year, Hannah Stokes has become one of the busiest movers in the Orlando music scene. Besides being an aspiring young singer-songwriter herself, she’s been a constant grassroots force, helming regular showcases around town like the “Inspired By” and “Songwriters Rising” series that spotlight area songsmiths. But recently she eked out some time to put a little focus back on herself with the release of new single “How Could This Love Be So” (featuring Zoetic).

From her straightforward singer-songwriter beginnings, Stokes has gradually widened her palette in the past couple years to include hues of folk, soul and jazz. More recently, she’s been mining the indie-folk side of her sound, which defined her last and most realized collection, 2022’s Hollow Bones EP.

If that EP was a big step forward,“How Could This Love Be So” is a dramatic pivot. While Stokes’ newfound polish and maturity continue here, the new song channels her soul music inspirations with pure devotion. “How Could

This Love Be So” is a rich and silky cup of neosoul blending classic 1970s soul, sultry jazz and hip-hop edge with a rap cameo by Zoetic.

Stokes’ latest guise is a warm and timeless look. Its effortless comfort is an auspicious sign of her budding range. Released on new Orlando

Depeche Mode, DIIV: When they emerged at the dawn of the 1980s as pacesetters in the alternative underground, Depeche Mode quickly became the synth-pop template, setting off a wave of imitators big enough to probably qualify as a subgenre of their own. By the end of that decade, though, they had transcended their own genre to become a global pop sensation, attaining the kind of mainstream stardom usually monopolized by the most commercial acts. At their peak, Depeche Mode were a certified stadium band (as captured on bestselling 1989 live album and documentary 101), a staggering feat for a darkly catchy synth-pop act that emerged from the alternative dance scene.

Now the electronic pop icons arrive for a rare Orlando appearance, packing both their generation-defining classics and some of their best new material in decades (this year’s Memento Mori). No doubt, it’ll be distinctly bittersweet with the still-fresh absence of the late Andy Fletcher. Yet, it’ll always be unquestionably Depeche Mode with the primary pillars of Martin Gore and Dave Gahan on stage. Show up early for excellent Brooklyn mood-gaze band DIIV. (6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 10, Amway Center, $75-$250) baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com

Ken Jeong

Ken Jeong, like a latter-day, woke-culture-adjusted Rodney Dangerfield, gets no respect. Just last week, the Masked Singer judge guessed the identity of the eliminated Rubber Ducky correctly and it was deemed a “Season 10 miracle,” because Jeong “always gets it wrong.” (Haven’t watched the show, but this seems rude!) Before his role providing “color commentary” — seriously, folks? — on the Fox Network singing contest show, he got his big break in The Hangover films as Mr. Chow, a role that was a powder keg of racist, sexist, homophobic tropes … in which he absolutely slayed. (You may hate yourself for laughing, but you probably laughed.) Before that he had a supporting role in Community as Spanish teacher Señor Chang, which he sank his teeth into — little inside “El Tigre Chino” joke there for the real heads — and eventually landed his own starring sitcom on ABC, Dr. Ken, which played on the fact that Jeong is an actual M.D. It got canceled after two seasons. No respect, I tell ya. 8 p.m., Hard Rock Live, 6050 Universal Blvd., hardrock.com/live, $54.50-$89.50. —

Viral pop-princess Ashnikko is out on the road promoting the release of her debut album, Weedkiller, and that includes a stop at the House of Blues this weekend. The 27-year old star is best known for her singles that have taken the streaming airwaves by storm, like earworms “Slumber Party” (with Princess Nokia) and “Stupid.” Ashnikko’s tour invites you into her “hyper, horny, whimsical universe where emotions are dramatized, gender stereotypes are disrupted, and revenge reigns supreme,” and who wouldn’t want to live there? With support from opening act Audrey Nuna, the show won’t be short of high-powered energy. 7 p.m., House of Blues, Disney Springs, houseofblues.com/orlando, $30-$85. — Grayson

Porch Stock

The bucolic Colonialtown neighborhood brings back

their Porch Stock event for a third year, promising local musicians doing their thing on the porches of neighborhood homes and you, the attendee, strolling back and forth from these impromptu venues to take in the sounds. This porchapalooza might not be quite as jam-packed as Sanford’s Porchfest, but that fits the more relaxed vibe of this neighborhood. Porch Stock features three performers: Chelz Danielle at 1440 Lake Highland Drive at 6 p.m.; Tom Cooper (of Pinto Psychs) at 1800 Canton St. at 7 p.m.; and Brian + Hannah (flip back to page 43 to read more about Hannah Stokes’ busy week) at 837 Palm Drive at 8 p.m. Might even be [gasp] nice weather. 6 p.m., Colonialtown North, facebook.com/ colonialtownnorth, free. — MM

Faire of the Dog Fall Market

So far the only real marker of the change in seasons this “autumn” (and that word will fly away on those air quotes here in Florida like a particularly haunted bat), has been a crop of promising fall markets. And that’s just fine! Faire of the Dog returns to Mills 50 with a spooky season-adjacent event featuring plenty of local artists and artisans sprawled out over and through Will’s Pub, Lil Indie’s and Wally’s. Some of the 50-plus participating vendors this time around include Lover Girl Goods, Folksy Love, Rockstar Ceramics and One Sun Farm & Apothecary. Also bring dollar bills and dog-related supplies to be entered into a ra e with the coveted prize of bar tabs — it all benefits the Pet Alliance of Orlando. Noon, Will’s Pub, 1042 N.

DRAWN BY KIERAN CASTAÑO

BY ROB BREZSNY

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Take a few deep, slow breaths. Let your mind be a blue sky where a few high clouds float. Hum your favorite melody. Relax as if you have all the time in the world to be whoever you want to be. Fantasize that you have slipped into a phase of your cycle when you are free to act as calm and unhurried as you like. Imagine you have access to resources in your secret core that will make you stable and solid and secure. Now read this Mary Oliver poem aloud: “You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.”

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): An Oklahoma woman named Mary Clamswer used a wheelchair from age 19 to 42 because multiple sclerosis made it hard to use her legs. Then a miracle happened. During a thunderstorm, she was hit by lightning. The blast not only didn’t kill her — it cured the multiple sclerosis. Over the subsequent months, she recovered her ability to walk. Now I’m not saying I hope you will be hit by a literal bolt of healing lightning, Scorpio, nor do I predict any such thing. But I suspect a comparable event or situation that may initially seem unsettling could ultimately bring you blessings.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): What are your favorite mind-altering substances? Coffee, tea, chocolate, sugar or tobacco? Alcohol, pot, cocaine or opioids? Psilocybin, ayahuasca, LSD or MDMA? Others? All the above? Whatever they are, the coming weeks will be a favorable time to re-evaluate your relationship with them. Consider whether they are sometimes more hurtful than helpful, or vice versa; and whether the original reasons that led you to them are still true; and how your connection with them affects your close relationships. Ask other questions, too! P.S. I don’t know what the answers are. My goal is simply to inspire you to take an inventory.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In his book Meditations for Miserable People Who Want to Stay That Way, Dan Goodman says, “It’s not that I have nothing to give, but rather that no one wants what I have.” If you have ever been tempted to entertain dour fantasies like that, I predict you will be purged of them in the coming weeks and months. Maybe more than ever before, your influence will be sought by others. Your viewpoints will be asked for. Your gifts will be desired, and your input will be invited. I trust you won’t feel overwhelmed!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): William James (18421910) was a paragon of reason and logic. So

influential were his books about philosophy and psychology that he is regarded as a leading thinker of the 19th and 20th centuries. On the other hand, he was eager to explore the possibilities of supernatural phenomena like telepathy. He even consulted a trance medium named Leonora Piper. James said, “If you wish to upset the law that all crows are black, it is enough if you prove that one crow is white. My white crow is Mrs. Piper.” I bring this to your attention, Aquarius, because I suspect you will soon discover a white crow of your own. As a result, long-standing beliefs may come into question; a certainty could become ambiguous; an incontrovertible truth may be shaken. This is a good thing!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): If we hope to cure our wounds, we must cultivate a focused desire to be healed. A second essential is to be ingenious in gathering the resources we need to get healed. Here’s the third requirement: We must be bold and brave enough to scramble up out of our sense of defeat as we claim our right to be vigorous and whole again. I wish all these powers for you in the coming weeks.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): I’ve been doing interviews in support of my new book Astrology Is Real: Revelations from My Life as an Oracle. Now and then, I’m asked this question: “Do you actually believe all that mystical woo-woo you write about?” I respond diplomatically, though inwardly I’m screaming, “How profoundly hypocritical I would be if I did not believe in the ‘mystical woo-woo’ I have spent my adult life studying and teaching!” But here’s my polite answer: I love and revere the venerable spiritual philosophies that some demean as “mystical woo-woo.” I see it as my job to translate those subtle ideas into well-grounded, practical suggestions that my readers can use to enhance their lives. Everything I just said is the prelude for your assignment, Aries: Work with extra focus to actuate your high ideals and deep values in the ordinary events of your daily life. As the American idioms advise: Walk your talk and practice what you preach

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): I’m happy to see the expanding use of service animals. Initially, there were guide dogs to assist humans with imperfect vision. Later, there came mobility animals for those who need aid in moving around, and hearing animals for those who can’t detect ringing doorbells. In recent years, emotional support animals have provided comfort for people who benefit from mental health assistance. I foresee a future in which all of us feel free and eager to call on the

nurturing of companion animals. You may already have such friends, Taurus. If so, I urge you to express extra appreciation for them in the coming weeks. Ripen your relationship. And if not, now is an excellent time to explore the boost you can get from loving animals.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Gemini author Chuck Klosterman jokes, “I eat sugared cereal almost exclusively. This is because I’m the opposite of a ‘no-nonsense’ guy. I’m an ‘all-nonsense’ guy.” The coming weeks will be a constructive and liberating time for you to experiment with being an all-nonsense person, dear Gemini. How? Start by temporarily suspending any deep attachment you have to being a serious, hyper-rational adult doing staid, weighty adult things. Be mischievously committed to playing a lot and having maximum fun. Dancing sex! Ice cream uproars! Renegade fantasies! Laughter orgies! Joke romps! Giddy brainstorms and euphoric heartstorms!

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Cancerian comedian Gilda Radner said, “I base most of my fashion taste on what doesn’t itch.” Let’s use that as a prime metaphor for you in the coming weeks. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you will be wise to opt for what feels good over what merely looks good. You will make the right choices if you are committed to loving yourself more than trying to figure out how to get others to love you. Celebrate highly functional beauty, dear Cancerian. Exult in the clear intuitions that arise as you circumvent self-consciousness and revel in festive self-love.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The amazingly creative Leo singer-songwriter Tori Amos gives this testimony: “All creators go through a period where they’re dry and don’t know how to get back to the creative source. Where is that waterfall? At a certain point, you say, ‘I’ll take a rivulet.’” Her testimony is true for all of us in our quest to find what we want and need. Of course, we would prefer to have permanent, unwavering access to the waterfall. But that’s not realistic. Besides, sometimes the rivulet is sufficient. And if we follow the rivulet, it may eventually lead to the waterfall.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Do you perform experiments on yourself? I do on myself. I formulate hypotheses about what might be healthy for me, then carry out tests to gather evidence about whether they are. A recent one was: Do I feel my best if I eat five small meals per day or three bigger ones? Another: Is my sleep most rejuvenating if I go to bed at 10 p.m. and wake up at 7 a.m. or if I sleep from midnight to 9 a.m.? I recommend you engage in such experiments in the coming weeks. Your body has many clues and revelations it wants to offer you.
