Readers react to stories from last week. After President Donald Trump’s administration said it intends to ban flavored e-cigarette products that appeal to young people, state Rep. Jackie Toledo, R-Tampa, said she wants to increase the legal age for vaping and smoking tobacco from 18 to 21. @Cris Field This would be as ineffective as Prohibition. Just say no. Educate. Monitor the product. @Richard Neilan Typical Republican response. “What’s the least we can do and still say we did something?” This won’t even put a dent in the problem. BTW, where’s her legislation on responsible gun control?
@Brandy Deckard Upsetting no matter how you look at it. Even if you somehow supported him politically you can’t ignore the impact of his decisions. @Alejandro Vasquez Keep the unborn babies alive but let the living die faster. No logic there. Publix, the Lakeland-based grocer that donated an unprecedented $670,000 to former gubernatorial candidate and selfdescribed “proud NRA sellout” Adam Putnam, is now asking customers to not openly carry guns in their stores in states that allow open carry.
An extensive investigation by the Guardian, a U.K.-based newspaper, shows that Rick Scott blocked $70 million in funds for fighting Florida’s HIV crisis while he was governor, likely hastening the state’s record rate of infections.
@Matt Daniel I carry every time I go in the Altamonte Publix. They’ve been robbed, the money truck was robbed, a guy was shot in the head and somehow survived! I’d rather throw lead than green bean cans at the next nut that decides he doesn’t value our lives!
@Gina-Renée Clark An immensely cruel act by a heartless and greedy man who is still doing damage to our state in the Senate.
@David Dobarganes Let’s be honest, we have seen multiple videos of people fighting over subs, let’s not involve guns.

The Florida Department of Education has no idea which teachers carry guns: The Florida Department of Education was unable to confirm last week an independent Wall Street Journal survey that found seven of the state’s 67 school districts have approved or would consider arming classroom teachers under a controversial school “guardian” program. A new school safety law, approved by the Republican-dominated Legislature this spring and signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis, expanded the guardian program to allow classroom teachers to volunteer to participate in the program and carry guns on school grounds. Department of Education spokeswoman Cheryl Etters said the state agency has not collected information from school districts on whether they plan to allow classroom teachers to participate in the guardian program, which authorizes specially trained school personnel to bring guns to schools.

Florida medical marijuana dispensary now sells the state’s first cannabis tablet: National dispensary Curaleaf released the state’s first
cannabis tablet last week. The company’s two Orlando locations, at 775 N. Semoran Blvd. and 12402 S. Orange Blossom Trail, sell the mint-flavored tablets in a childresistant package of 30 for $35. To partake of the new offering, patients must see a doctor and obtain medical orders specifically recommending oral medical marijuana, not just smokable methods.

Florida lawmaker wants to raise the age limit for vaping and smoking: State Rep. Jackie Toledo, R-Tampa, wants to increase the legal age for
vaping and smoking tobacco from 18 to 21 in Florida. “This issue is alarming and urgent. Precious lives are at stake,” Toledo said in a prepared statement last week. Toledo’s announcement came after President Donald Trump’s administration said last week it intends to finalize a policy that would ban flavored e-cigarette products. Toledo’s bill (HB 151) also would ban the sale of flavored liquid nicotine products.

Campaign to ban assault weapons in Florida received record donations in August: In the wake of two mass shootings in Texas and
Ohio last month, contributions flooded into a political committee seeking to ban possession and sale of assault weapons in Florida, according to a new campaignfinance report filed at the state Division of Elections. Ban Assault Weapons Now, the political committee behind the proposed constitutional amendment, drew more than 28,000 contributions totaling $595,000 in August, by far the largest amount in a single month since the committee was launched in March 2018. Nearly 12,000 of the contributions were $5 or less, the campaign report shows. Also, more than 5,000 were for $10. Last month’s contributions brought the total amount collected by the committee to just over $1.67 million.

New investigation reveals Rick Scott turned down $70 million in federal funds to fight the AIDS epidemic in Florida: New reporting from the Guardian reveals that while governor, Rick Scott blocked $70 million in available federal funds for fighting Florida’s HIV crisis, likely hastening the state’s record-high rate of infections. In the report, Florida’s HIV/AIDS administrator from 2014 to 2016 under Scott, Marlene LaLota, is quoted saying, “I think Rick Scott fueled the epidemic in Florida.” The report found that from 2015 to 2017, “Florida was forced to return to the federal government $54 million in unspent grants for combating HIV.” Blocking federal funds has long been a political point for Scott, who opposed the Affordable Care Act and refused millions in ACA grants. He rejected $2 billion for high-speed rail in 2011, instead backing the private company behind Brightline, now Virgin Trains. orlandoweekly.com

COAST IS CLEAR?
Among Florida’s lawmakers, the former mantra of ‘drill, baby, drill’ has transformed into ‘chill, baby, chill’ – but Trump is expected to overrule bills seeking to protect our waters
planned to join a fleet of other pilots for a relief mission this week. But the voyage was called off, due to overcrowding in the skies and airports, which are tiny and not equipped to deal with the traffic created by the mercy missions. The U.S. Air Force issued an alert shortly after the storm about the airport congestion, which prompted the folks organizing the Heuchan’s fleet to call off the trip. He called the congestion a good thing, in a way. “To me, it’s like wow, look at the outpouring of support from the general aviation community, they just want to do something. They just want to help in whatever way they can. And, just like pilots are known to do, they take matters into their own hands and just go do it,” he said.

embers of Florida’s congressional delegation got another chance to flaunt their beach-protection cred this week. Despite White House opposition, the U.S. House approved a pair of resolutions Wednesday to block offshore oil and gas drilling in coastal areas, including along the Florida coast. Just over a decade ago, before the Deepwater Horizon disaster, a Republican Party mantra was “drill, baby, drill.” Now the refrain from many politicians in both parties in Florida is chill, baby, chill. U.S. Rep. Francis Rooney, a Republican from Naples, led efforts to pass a proposal (HR 205) to shield the state’s Gulf Coast from drilling, with the measure called the “Protecting and Securing Florida’s Coastline Act.” “Offshore drilling off the coast of Florida would create an industrial coastline less appealing to visitors, hinder our military readiness, and adversely affect our environment,” Rooney said in a prepared statement. Florida elected officials have been mostly unified the past several years in opposition to drilling off the state’s coast. That has come as the Trump administration has sought to tap additional offshore areas in various parts of the country. The Florida officials’ stance has been backed by voters, who gave broad support last November to a state constitutional amendment to ban offshore drilling. “As President Trump tries to make it easier to open up our shoreline to drilling, Democrats and Republicans are together standing against such a misguided and dangerous move,” U.S. Rep. Ted Deutch, D-Florida, said in a release. The House bills are not expected to pass in the Republican-run Senate, though U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Florida, vowed to push for Rooney’s proposal. Even if the Senate eventually supports the proposals, however, Trump is ready to veto them. “These bills would undermine the administration’s commitment to a prosperous American economy supported by the responsible use of the nation’s abundant natural resources,” the White House said in a statement. 12
A GOOD PROBLEM TO HAVE
Tallahassee lobbyists Brecht Heuchan and David Ramba both wanted to use their airplanes to help with relief efforts after Hurricane Dorian ravaged parts of the Bahamas. But the two pilots had different results. Ramba last week ferried supplies to Walker’s Cay, a private island with about 400 residents located in the Abacos archipelago, the region of the Bahamas that was nearly wiped out by the Category 5 storm. Ramba said he loaded his Cessna Caravan with a list of items requested by people on Walker’s Cay, which, like many of the neighboring isles, has been without power since the storm punched its way through the Abacos and Grand Bahama Islands. Ramba said he wanted to get into the Grand Bahamas but changed his plans because the airways are so clogged that private pilots are being asked to stay away so larger aircraft and cruise ships can deliver massive amounts of supplies. “They’re using a lot of their law enforcement to keep peace on the streets and people are charging at airplanes when they land. Pilots have told me that, as they were landing, people were running out on the runway. You don’t want to turn a relief effort into a new emergency. But people need help,” Ramba said in a telephone interview. “We went to an outer island, where there aren’t cruise ships showing up full of supplies and materials, and where some folks in Tallahassee had a direct relationship with the people who lived there and they needed help,” Ramba said. Ramba said he delivered “a lot of things for rebuilding,” such as tarps, circular saws, a generator and extension cords. “These people are essentially going to pick up debris and rebuild their homes. They can’t go to the nearest Home Depot. If it floats by, they’re going to grab it, dry it out and use it to make walls,” he said. Heuchan’s Good Samaritan efforts were thwarted, however, at least for now. Heuchan, who owns a Cirrus S22 four-seater, had

SOUTH FLORIDA DOUBLES ANTIPYTHON EFFORTS
The South Florida Water Management District Governing Board agreed last week to double its number of hunters who are trying to eradicate invasive Burmese pythons. The board also directed staff members to work on an agreement with federal agencies and other state agencies to give access to more state and federal lands for the district hunters, and staff members were also directed to contract with the University of Florida to find a scientific means – from reptile monitoring to assessments of the impact of removal efforts – to aid in eliminating pythons. The district pays an hourly wage and a bounty based on sizes of snakes to trained hunters, who since March 2017 have removed more than 2,500 pythons. The decisions came a month after Gov. Ron DeSantis called for more hunters as part of a statewide expansion of efforts to eradicate the invasive species from state parks. DeSantis also directed the district and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to double resources in the upcoming year, to collaborate on training and research and to jointly hold an annual python eradication “challenge” rather than once every three years. feedback@orlandoweekly.com

YOU CAN’T SHAME THE SHAMELESS Last week, North Carolina Republicans proved that if you’re ruthless enough, you can get away with anything BY JE FFREY C. BILL M A N
L
ast Monday, Donald Trump flew into Fayetteville, North Carolina, for a rally ahead of a special congressional election. There, in support of Republican Dan Bishop – a state senator who sponsored the notorious anti-LGBTQ “bathroom bill” that led to months of protests and boycotts in 2016 before it cost the governor his re-election and was partially repealed – Trump plowed through his usual litany of MAGA grievances before the usual sea of mostly white faces. Because he lacks self-awareness, Trump included this bit: “You go to California, which has so many sanctuary cities,” Trump said. “They don’t know what’s happening out there. You have people that want to get rid of those sanctuary cities; they just aren’t able to do it with the people that get elected. A lot of illegal voting going on out there, by the way.” It’s nothing new for the president to invent conspiracy theories about voter fraud in California, which he’s long used, without a scintilla of evidence, to suggest that he really did win the popular vote. But someone probably should have reminded him why he was there in Fayetteville. North Carolina’s Ninth Congressional District held a special election last week because, in 2018, the Republican candidate’s campaign committed fraud. A consultant hired to collect absentee ballots allegedly cheated in a manner substantial enough to affect the outcome amid a blue wave. People have since been indicted, and the North Carolina Board of Election refused to certify the results, which had Republican Mark Harris up fewer than 1,000 votes in a district Trump carried by 12 points. This was the do-over, and the cheaters prospered. Bishop prevailed by about two points – enough for Trump to beat his chest about how he saved the day, but
still an ominous 10-point shift compared to 2016. The next morning, almost to the minute of the 18th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, North Carolina Republicans cheated again. And again, they prospered. To understand how and why, some context: Since the GOP took over the state’s General Assembly in 2011, North Carolina has operated under one of the most blatant gerrymanders in the country. Even after Democrats won the governor’s office in 2016, Republicans claimed a veto-proof supermajority in the legislature. That ended – barely – in 2018, though Democrats had to win more votes statewide to overcome the GOP supermajorities. (Recently, a state court ordered the General Assembly to draw nonpartisan legislative districts for next year’s election.) This year, for the first time, Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper had a meaningful veto. This spring, he vetoed the budget to force Republicans to negotiate over expanding Medicaid. But Republicans – having grown accustomed to their my-way-or-the-highway approach and generally disinterested in providing health care for poor people – refused to budge. So aside from a few piecemeal spending bills, there’s been a months-long stalemate. To override Cooper’s veto, Republicans needed seven Democrats to flip – or, more likely, to not show up for a vote. Over the summer, Democrats found this a constant concern, particularly in a sprawling state with an ostensibly part-time legislature that remained in session, with a House speaker who made clear that he would call the override vote the second he had the numbers, no matter how he got them. So what happened last week was less a surprise than a shock. On the evening of Sept. 10, Democrats say, Republicans
leaders assured them that the next morning’s session would be perfunctory, no votes taken, as most morning sessions are. It was 9/11, after all. Several Democrats made plans to work on redistricting maps. Only nine showed up in the House chamber the next morning. Fifty-five Republicans did. It was a trap. House Speaker Tim Moore had enough members from a quorum, and with a nearly Democrat-free quorum, enough votes to override the veto. Once the few Democrats present realized what was happening, they objected. One shouted at Moore: “How dare you subject this body to trickery, deceptive practices, hijacking the process! It is so typical of the way you conduct yourself. How dare you, Mr. Speaker! If this is the way you believe democracy works, shame on you!” But it was too late. You can’t shame the shameless, nor can you preach democracy to those contemptuous of it. (The override now heads to the Senate, where Republicans need to flip two Dems. One hopes the state’s Democrats won’t be so naive again.) Like their counterparts in D.C., North Carolina Republicans have bought into the mantra that winning is all that matters, that power is an end unto itself. They didn’t hesitate to use 9/11, an anniversary that they once treated as sacrosanct, to launch a sneak attack on democracy. There’s some irony there. American institutions are propped up by norms – guardrails that rely on the principle that one’s opponents and their supporters have an equally legitimate claim to power, guardrails that say that a party that won the governor’s office and earned more votes in statewide legislative races deserves an opportunity to negotiate over key issues. But these guardrails are fragile, and those most willing to exploit them first, and most ruthlessly, tend to prevail. The problem is, in the end, the victors inevitably destroy the very thing they’ve set out to conquer. In the age of Trump – and North Carolina Republicans – that’s the real danger America faces. feedback@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

Orlando’s own NXT wrestling goes national this week BY S HELTON HULL

WWE chairman and CEO Vince McMahon is widely metrics it’s more widespread and more lucrative than ever before. Recently Florida has regained its historical regarded as the foremost genius of the wrestling industry, position as an industry epicenter, with Orlando leading a man who allegedly risked his own death to reorganize its ownership structures. He then bet every penny he the way thanks to World Wrestling Entertainment’s parthad on his still-controversial vision of a wrestling show nership with Full Sail University on NXT. Full Sail president Garry Jones says, “WWE is known that transcended its devoted but fairly niche market and the world over for being a leader in the entertainment went in hard to cultivate crossover pop-culture appeal. industry, and as an educational partner to Full Sail That was the very first WrestleMania, and its original University, they have served to inspire the next gen- airdate of March 31, 1985, is unquestionably the single most important day in the history of eration of production professionals pro wrestling.

Center on the Full Sail campus and the NXT brand, which has been cranking out new stars (He’s also widely presumed to be the eventual succesfor the past seven years. Now, as WWE takes their NXT sor to McMahon himself.) The NXT setup at Full Sail is
essentially a scaled-down model of the larger set used for WWE’s pay-per-views and weekly programming, which allows wrestlers, announcers and technical crew to become acclimated to the nuances of the “WWE style” of TV production. NXT also runs a “house show” circuit of smaller live events throughout Florida, in which new talent can refine their characters and get accustomed to the subtleties and intricacies of working in front of live audiences before they (possibly) get called up to the main WWE roster. While NXT has been acclaimed within “smart” wrestling circles for years, the new show will thrust the brand, and the men and women involved in its production, in front of a national viewing audience as the future stars of professional wrestling are born before our eyes. There are nearly 100 people currently wrestling there, ranging from neophytes to established veterans. Most of them have not yet appeared on camera, but with the NXT broadcast now doubled in length, many will make their debuts in the weeks and months ahead. Previously, the brand prerecorded four one-hour shows in one night for broadcast on the subscription-only WWE Network, but the new show will air live on USA (basic cable!). Initially viewed as simply a place to train new talent for the main roster, the quality of in-ring action and the storylines have established NXT as must-see viewing on its own merit. WrestleMania 35, which took place at Met Life Stadium this past April, made a fine case study for the long-term impact of NXT on this generation of professional wrestlers. Out of 51 wrestlers on the card that evening, 28 came to the main WWE roster through Full Sail, including two-thirds of the history-making allfemale main event. (The one who didn’t, Ronda Rousey, had nonetheless spent time at the Performance Center training for her in-ring debut the year before.) And that’s just the wrestlers; that number doesn’t include support staff like the show’s host, Alexa Bliss; two of the three ring announcers; at least four referees; all the backstage interviewers; and nine of the 14 Englishlanguage commentators who worked at various times in the WrestleMania pay-per-view broadcast, which ran nearly eight hours. For these men and women, the “Road to WrestleMania” may have ended in New York City, but it began in Orlando. A key figure in making their dreams come true was “the American Dream,” Dusty Rhodes, who for years was the icon of Florida wrestling, widely considered one of the greatest creative minds the business has ever seen. Rhodes worked closely with Levesque to create the NXT brand, particularly in terms of character development. Dozens of stars point to their time “under the learning tree” of arguably the most charismatic performer in wrestling history as essential to their eventual success. Rhodes’ death in June 2015 robbed NXT of its animating spirit, but the system he left behind has continued moving forward at full speed. Clearly, WWE’s next five, 10, 15 years of main-event talent has either been developed at Full Sail already, or they will be in the years to come, and this new expansion of the brand can only help. By the time new talent is ready to work on the big Monday- or Tuesday-night show, the fans will know them from their Wednesday-night star turns.

AT WORK AND AT PLAY Paintings in two new exhibitions at CFAM provide insight into the connections between labor, leisure and the production of art BY LEA H SAND L ER
T
here is no leisure without labor. Much of human history is determined by the push and pull of social segmentation, defining who is responsible for the labor and who gets to spend their life in leisure. Several of the artworks included in two exhibitions opening at the Cornell Fine Arts Museum this week, African American Art of the 20th Century and At Leisure: Images of Repose, sharply elucidate these tensions and aspirations. The ability to devote significant resources and time toward the production of aesthetic objects and images has, historically, been defined by existing power structures. Artist Palmer Hayden’s “The Janitor Who Paints” (ca. 1930), on loan from the Smithsonian Museum of American Art as a part of the exhibition African American Art of the 20th Century, is described by the artist as a “protest painting.” The painting was inspired by Hayden’s relationship with fellow black artist Cloyd Boykin, who supported himself as a janitor while continuing his practice as a painter. The image of a black artist working on a painting in his own home must be seen within the context of America’s history of forced labor, racial segregation

and economic exploitation. (Viewed in a museum in the American South, it becomes especially poignant.) In a quiet subversion of the systems of cultural gatekeeping, Hayden centers the clock on the bedside table and the tungsten glow emanating from a hanging bulb in the composition, pointing to the janitor-artist’s sacrifice of rest to pursue his craft; he trades his leisure time for self-directed artistic labor. A broom, feather duster and aluminum trash can representing his daily occupation insistently assert the necessity of sustained toil. Transitions in economic power find visible expression in many ways, not least of which is trends in

aesthetic production. Such a transition is apparent in the subject matter and distribution of artworks during the 17th-century period known to art historians as the Dutch Golden Age of Painting. Dirck Hals painted “An Elegant Company Playing a Game of Trictrac in an Interior” in 1650, 10 years after the Dutch West India Company established a significant role in the Atlantic slave trade, contributing to the economic prosperity of the Dutch Republic and the subsequent increased Dutch middle-class appetite for secular art in the form of genre paintings. It’s on view at the Cornell Fine Arts Museum as a part of the exhibition At Leisure: Images of Repose, along with Hals’ “An Elegant Company Playing Music in an Interior.” True to the genre of so-called “merry company” paintings popular during the time, “Trictrac” (a Dutch version of backgammon) depicts an indoor scene of aspirational bourgeois leisure in academic style.
Unlike “The Janitor Who Paints,” this depiction of free time does not visibly allude to a moment being carved from the flow of paid labor. While there are some trunks and what could be a wooden washtub in a dark corner, the fine satin and velvet clothing of the players makes it clear they have nothing to do with domestic chores, and the implements are almost lost in shadow. In form as well as content, these two paintings provide views into the inextricable connections between labor, leisure and the production of art during two disparate historical periods, encouraging side-by-side consideration of the relationships between prosperity and exploitation. It’s a comparison worthy of contemplation in this latest economic age, as technology infiltrates – and dominates – both our labor and our leisure. arts@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

VarieTease founder Blue Star’s beloved black-box theater has been the unofficial home of Orlando’s burlesque community, as well as the Fringe Festival’s official Black venue, for the past seven years. But even though the Ivanhoe Village building will soon be bulldozed, its spirit will continue to echo in Central Florida’s culture, as the diverse audience attending the Venue’s closing night last Thursday, Sept. 12, emotionally attested. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure (and occasional pain) of experiencing a seemingly infinite variety of shows at the Venue, from sci-fi stripteases and semi-trained circus kitties to Twilight Zone tributes and post-apocalyptic feminist polemics. As an artist, working at the Venue was sometimes a Mickey-and-Judy-esque “let’s put on a show” affair, as scheduling snafus or equipment mishaps weren’t uncommon. But it represented a swiftly vanishing breed of small stages that independent theater troupes could affordably rent. Once, there were a number of lowbudget performance spaces scattered around downtown and Winter Park, like GOAT’s short-lived Cherry Street theater and the Cameo on Colonial Drive. But
years after their eviction by property owner Florida Hospital, only Wade Hair’s Breakthrough Theatre is left to offer theater producers a practical alternative within the city’s core to the Loch Haven cultural complex and the Dr. Phillips Center. For some, like stage technician Benjamin Dupree, the Venue literally changed the course of their life. “It’s the place that gave me courage to quit my day job and chase my dream. It’s the place that gave me every person I seriously care about now,” Dupree told me as we stood on the lawn under Cole NeSmith’s “Tree of Light” sculpture, while waiting for the finale performance of VarieTease’s Hammers and Lambs. “Tech life became my world; that’s what I do now,” he says, explaining how he ended up quitting his career as a kindergarten teacher after volunteering to run spotlights for a show at the Venue. “I did this on the side while I taught during the day, and now I’m making $25-$30 an hour doing lighting design for corporate shows. It literally was my springboard to finding the job I love going to every day.” On the other hand, prolific playwrightproducer Michael Wanzie may never have performed on the Venue’s stage, but as a patron and supporter he summed up its impact on our town more eloquently than I could: “A lot of times arts groups and organizations make a big deal in their mission statements, saying that their mission is to bring the community together and find common ground through the arts. That’s a common theme that’s almost never really
You have people of every station in life here, every wealth status and sexuality and walk of life; they really have come here and found common ground and bonded through the arts.” You didn’t have to be a performer yourself to adore the Venue. “My heart is so full,” neighborhood resident and self-described “village idiot” Lisa Bates gushed to me before wheeling her light-festooned bicycle onto the stage for a farewell photo. “I’m in love with these kids, their energy. I’m old, so watching these kids … it’s just an amazing place.” Of course, no one was transformed more by the Venue than Blue herself, who has evolved from club choreographer into community leader. Now she faces an Oct. 1 deadline for clearing out the theater she helped build by hand. Despite the support of the city – Mayor Dyer himself attended the closing show – no agreement was reached to relocate into the massive Yard at Ivanhoe development. While Blue promises that “there’s something to look forward to,” she isn’t yet at liberty to announce her next step. “Nothing will ever be the Venue,” says Blue. “However, growth and change are good, and I think I have enough plates in the air to satisfy all of the cravings.” Until then, she’s grateful for the turnout in support of the Venue’s swan song, but not stopping to mourn. “Tonight was epic, and special … I think what we put on in the last 12 days pretty much sums it up – 12 days of doom, on to the next!” skubersky@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

Leguminati’s “OG Crunch” wrap PHOTOS BY ROB BARTLETT
SHAPE OF THINGS A well-rounded assemblage of food and beverage offerings await at the Hourglass Social House BY FAIYAZ KARA
T
here are star bakers behind the perfect, and I mean perfect, rolls that go into making Le Ky Patisserie’s banh mis. Just a few steps away, Tamale Co. fashions some of the finest steamed bundles in the city. Vegans seem to go gaga over Leguminati’s hearty crunchwraps; and what can be said about Foxtail Coffee that hasn’t already been said? Yeah, it’s a formidable foursome occupying the Hourglass Social House – a transformative, and relatively corporatefree, space in Curry Ford West of the kind every neighborhood should be so lucky to have. Straddling the spatial scales of café and food hall, this social house is just that – social. It’s a locus for meet-ups, popups, pick-ups and break-ups. Line-ups too, though to a far lesser degree. Waiting is but a small price to pay for the small price you’ll pay for Le Ky’s classic banh mi ($5), especially when you consider owner Uyen Tran spent five years as a pastry chef at Disney’s Contemporary Resort and her father, Ky, spent a quarter-century there before her. Baking’s in their blood, and that sandwich with its porcine mélange is, without question, a bloody good one. But there are also pastries – cute, boutique-y, seasonal
pastries – of the sort that cause the patrons standing behind you to roll their eyes and mutter under their breath for making you take so damned long to pick. Sensing autumn’s approach (and the approach of a smack from the exasperated lass behind me), I thought a Champagnepoached pear tart ($6) seemed fitting, even if the dense, somewhat dry crust wasn’t. Nice almond flavor, though. If you haven’t tried ruby chocolate – the purported “fourth” chocolate after dark, milk and white that’s all the rage – Le Ky’s gorgeous ruby chocolate mousse tart ($6) blinged with gold leaf is a worthy introduction to the sweet and slightly tangy confection. If you’re like me and given to submergist temptations, I suggest grabbing a latte ($4.50) from Foxtail and dunking Le Ky’s buttery almond-raspberry cookies ($4.50 for three) into it. I’m not ashamed to admit the combination has comprised a very sustainable breakfast (or two) for me in the past. Other sugar fiends find the lure of Tamale Co.’s tres leches ($5) irresistible, and it’s no wonder. That light, airy cake is a beaut and comes with a heretofore unseen by me topping of peaches and strawberries. So fetching was the tres leches that it suspend-

ed my wolfish scarfing of their chicken mole tamale ($11). BTW: Tamale Co. is my destination of choice when a craving for lengua tacos ($12 for three) strikes. Gift yourself the pleasure. The tacos are reinforced with a double layer of corn tortillas, too. Of the four businesses at the Hourglass Social House, Tamale Co. offers more seating (and more visual stimulation), though there’s nothing stopping you from bringing your cortado ($4) over from Foxtail or your handheld from Leguminati into this more colorful and muraled sector. It’s where we shared Leguminati’s grilled OG Crunch ($9.75), a hefty flour wrap layered with a crunchy tostada and filled with asada-seasoned, soy-based, ground “beef” – an impressive facsimile of the real thing. Enjoy it with a cold one procured from Leguminati’s bar (where there are 12 beers on tap) or any of the other adult beverages available from this diverse market, be it more beer, wine, micheladas or bottomless weekend mimosas. When beverages flow, folks tend to linger, spend and lose track of time – an irony not at all lost at the Hourglass Social House.

ORLANDO WEEKLY ● SEPT. 18-24, 2019 ● orlandoweekly.com
here’s no question that films have the power to influence public opinion. Just ask SeaWorld. The aquatic zoo and theme park is still facing backlash from Gabriela Cowperthwaite’s 2013 documentary Blackfish, which raised serious questions about the well-being of captive orcas and their trainers. Despite protests of bias by SeaWorld supporters, the park has since experienced several years of lower attendance numbers. Even among those who didn’t see the film, just the public uproar over Blackfish damaged the park’s reputation among the public – so much so that the park has announced that it has suspended orca breeding programs and will begin phasing out all live performances using orcas. The goal of the Global Peace Film Festival, now in its 16th year, is to create more of these cultural conversations in the hope of spurring real-world change. This year’s program of documentaries addresses issues in social justice, ecology, health care, cross-cultural understanding, immigration, LGBTQ equality and more. Those never-ending moral battles don’t just play out on the national and international stages, though. There are a few films being screened at this year’s festival that tie issues of otherism, social justice and environmentalism back to Central Florida. Marching Forward, a product of UCF’s Burnett Honors College, tells a story about Orlando during the Civil Rights Era through the lens of the marching bands of Jones and Edgewater high schools. Back in 1964, both schools were selected to represent the state at the Florida pavilion at the World’s Fair in New York. It was the last year that schools were segregated by race – officially, anyway. The film focuses on longtime Jones High School marching band director James “Chief” Wilson, who led the Jones band program for 40 years – minus one semester at Evans High School. Wilson was inspired by his time as a member of Florida A&M’s renowned “Fighting 100” marching band, and strived to inspire the same level of showmanship and excellence in his students. It also delves into his relationship with Edgewater High’s band director, Delbert Kieffner, a relationship built on professional respect that bridged racial divides. Marching Forward features plenty of interviews with family and former students of both men, painting a portrait of a time marred by segregation, but never losing sight of the actual lived experiences of specific people. Also, it was heartening to learn that there was reportedly very little controversy over the city government’s decision to send both bands to the World’s Fair. For They Know Not What They Do, directed by Daniel Karslake, is a look at how the fight for LGBT equality has shifted from focusing on gay marriage – in the wake of Obergefell v. Hodges – to trans rights. Karslake, known for
his influential 2007 documentary For the Bible Tells Me So, interviews several families of different backgrounds, all of whom have a gay or trans adult child, along with clergy and activists fighting against trans exclusion in religious and public life. Some of the stories are inspiring, and some are terrifying. One of the families interviewed is that of Vico Báez Febo, a young man from Puerto Rico who moved to Florida with his family and was at Pulse with several friends on June 12, 2016, when a gunman went on a rampage and murdered 49 people. Several of Febo’s friends never made it out. Most of this year’s screenings are located on the Rollins College campus, in the Bush and SunTrust auditoriums and Tiedtke Concert Hall. But the festival also partners with other locations around the area, including the Winter Park Public Library, Bronze Kingdom and Premiere Cinemas in the Fashion Square Mall, the Center, Mount Dora Plaza Live, and Maitland’s Holocaust Memorial Resource and Education Center. This year marks the 50th anniversary of Woodstock, the upstate New York music festival that is commonly seen as a defining moment in the 1960s anti-Vietnam War youth movement. In partnership with the Downtown Arts District, the Global Peace Film Festival has brought together an exhibition of artwork by Woodstock headliner Jimi Hendrix. Though Hendrix is primarily

known as one of the greatest rock guitarists of all time, he was also a gifted visual artist and kept sketchpads with him to work on throughout his travels. Many of Hendrix’s visual works utilize a kaleidoscopic array of color and patterns that go hand-in-hand with the psychedelic album art and typography of Jimi Hendrix Experience albums like Are You Experienced. The exhibit opens at 6 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 19, as part of the Downtown Arts District’s Third Thursday Gallery Hop, and runs through mid-October. The Global Peace Film Festival – by no coincidence – occurs around the same time as the International Day of Peace, a day of observance created by the United Nations. For the past six years, the Peace and Justice Institute at Valencia College has also celebrated “Peace Day” with a week of events on its own campus, but this year, the PJI and GPFF are joining up in Winter Park’s Central Park for a day of festivities. Peace Day in the Park offers themed activities, presentations about promoting peace, yoga and meditation, games, storytelling, arts and crafts, and live performances. Peace Day in the Park takes place from 9 a.m.-noon Saturday, Sept. 21. At 11 a.m., attendees are invited to gather into a human peace sign for an aerial photograph from a drone. That might be the most peaceful use of a drone we’ve read about in a while.
Those who can’t afford the time or money to attend the in-person screenings on the festival’s schedule still have an opportunity to watch some docs. The Global Peace Online Film Festival returns this year with nearly 50 films available to watch on-demand at the festival’s website (peacefilmfest.org). While the main programming is comprised entirely of documentaries, the online program includes short narrative films from around the world, alongside short documentaries that cover a variety of topics. Access to the online festival slate is free, and runs through Sunday, Sept. 22. The Global Peace Film Festival grows a little more every year, winding its way through the community and getting more and more organizations to partner with it. While it’s a rare film that has a Blackfish-like effect on real-world issues, the cause of peace is still advanced every year simply through the interactions facilitated through attending, volunteering or otherwise participating in the festival. And although the concept of “global peace” may seem naive or myopic in these complicated and nuanced times, it’s still miles better than the alternative. tmccollum@orlandoweekly.com

Jim Carter in Downton Abbey
DOWNTON REDUX
PHOTO COURTESY FOCUS FEATURES
Cinematic adaptation is merely acceptable BY C AMERON MEIE R
D
ownton Abbey is arguably the best episodic television drama in history. If screen entertainment were an exact science, that would make the new film version the greatest movie ever. It would also make the 2012 cinematic adaptation of Les Miserables a masterpiece. And we all know how that turned out. Alas, cinema is not a science but an unpredictable art. And great TV shows, like brilliant stage musicals, don’t always make wonderful films. That’s not to say the new Downton Abbey movie, written by series creator Julian Fellowes and helmed by four-time series-episode director Michael Engler, is either wholly disappointing or unnecessary. It’s neither. It’s simply
a charming, if contrived, extra narrative chapter that will please most loyalists but mean little to viewers unfamiliar with the upstairs-downstairs world of the Crawley family and those who serve them. From 2010 to 2015, the series bewitched millions on both sides of the Atlantic – on ITV in England and PBS in America. Employing rich characterizations, sumptuous production values and engaging storytelling, it touched the hearts of both native Britons and Anglophiles everywhere. For many fans, it transcended television to embody Britain itself or, more precisely, a Britain remembered now only by centenarians. The good news is the film conjures
many of the same feelings as the show. And considering it has been more than three years since we’ve been through the doors of Downton, merely being back will be enough for some audience members. But the movie could have been more than an extension of the series, and a rather forced one, at that. It could have added depth to the characters, challenged our notions of the post-Edwardian period and produced that same aesthetic giddiness we experienced in Season One. It could also have given those unfamiliar with the TV show a reason to watch. It has done none of this. The plot revolves around a visit by King George V and Queen Mary. It’s the summer of 1927 (two years after the events of season six), and their majesties plan to pay their respects to the Earl of Grantham (Hugh Bonneville), the Countess of Grantham (Elizabeth McGovern), the Dowager Countess of Grantham (Maggie Smith) and the rest of the family while on a tour of Yorkshire. Predictably, this throws the household into a tizzy, necessitating the Herculean efforts of the staff and the return of Charles Carson (Jim Carter), the former butler. But the royal pop-in is just pretext. The real narrative meal – and there are many frenetic courses – concerns the goings-on (mostly romantic) of the beloved characters, especially Thomas Barrow (Robert JamesCollier) and Tom Branson (Allen Leech), whose lives were left somewhat unfulfilled at the end of the series. Almost all the other characters – including new ones – get subplots of their own as well, courtesy of Fellowes’ prodigious brain. It’s a mind that served him well in the series but apparently isn’t quite as well suited to the big screen, despite previous success with The Young Victoria and Gosford Park. When hearing of the royal visit, the cook, Mrs. Patmore (Lesley Nicol), remarks, “He’s the king of England. There’s only one of them.” Similarly, there’s only one Downton Abbey, and despite the tubeto-cinema stumbles, it’s a pleasure to be invited into its world once again.

Brad Pitt in Ad Astra PHOTO COURTESY TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX
BY STEVE SCHNEIDER
OPENING THIS WEEK: Ad Astra Brad Pitt travels into space to track down his renegade father, whose experiments may threaten the underpinnings of life itself. Visit orlandoweekly.com to find out if our Cameron Meier liked the film better when it was called Heart of Darkness or Interstellar. (PG-13) Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice In her amazing lifetime, Linda Ronstadt has been everything from the sweetheart of Southern California to an avatar of Latinx representation. She also recorded a cover of “Allison” that Elvis Costello called “soul-destroying,” but I wouldn’t expect that moment to be recounted in this career-spanning documentary. Because what kind of bitter asswipe remembers details like those? (PG-13; tentatively scheduled to open Friday at Enzian Theater, Maitland) Rambo: Last Blood At various junctures, the fifth installment in Sylvester Stallone’s Rambo franchise was going to be everything from a “soulful,” character-driven prequel to a science-fiction adventure that would have put the title character on the hunt for a genetically engineered creature. What we’re getting is somewhere in the middle: a rescue thriller about a kidnapped girl and a Mexican drug cartel. I mean, I’m sure it’s fine and all, but I’m not going to lie. I really wanted to see that genetically engineered creature. (R) Running With the Devil Dutiful crime-syndicate soldier Nicolas Cage has to help his boss (Laurence Fishburne) figure out where their cocaine pipeline is breaking down. Seen any Nicolas Cage movie since 1988? I’d say the problem is just south of his left nostril. (R)
Villains A pair of criminals invade a couple’s home, only to learn that their hosts may be more dangerous than they are. “Workmanlike!” says Paste.

GOTHS DON’T SURF The Growlers keep tryin’ hard, fool BY IDA V. ESKAMANI
W
hen asked if he would consider himself an “old soul,” frontman Brooks Nielsen of the Growlers provides a self-effacing response: “You could say that, or, an old asshole? Grump? When I read interviews after, which is rarely, it’s like, ‘God I sound like an old, grumpy, miserable person.’ But I’m not. I’m content and I’m happy.” Nielsen has lived a whole lot of life since he and guitarist Matt Taylor took the implausible path of leaving their small southern California beach town of Dana Point to make music. Nearly a decade on, the Growlers are still creating hypnotic sounds. Their sixth full-length, Natural Affair, is due for a release this fall via the band’s own Beach Goth Records imprint. The singles released thus far are full of the band’s signature allure: rumbling garage rock paired with groovy island jams, all fused together with Nielsen’s raw, raspy vocals and enthralling lyrics. The Growlers’ secret origin story is grounded in the isolation of a small beach town. Illegal warehouse parties, blue collar values, and a perhaps more than healthy dose of drugs and alcohol all loom large. A self-described “shitkid,” Nielsen, without any previous interest or experience in songwriting, discovered
his gateway musical drug, reggae, in a very relatable way – while getting high with friends. For Nielsen, it was a musical awakening. “This was way more tough and punk than any American rock & roll,” Nielsen says. “First thing I fell in love with was Bob Marley and then I fell in love with lyrics; I was drawn to the Johnny Cashs and the Bob Dylans.” The Growlers’ music is a genre all its own: reggae woven into pop, melded with psychedelia, punk, and swells of surf rock. It draws fans across the world, along with sold-out crowds of the faithful at the Growlers’ annual Beach Goth fest. Nielsen credits his and Taylor’s lack of experience as their strength – since the two didn’t know the rules, breaking them was the only option. Reflecting back on their roots, Nielsen talks about “not knowing how to play anything, not ever learning anything. … We really didn’t know and were not connected to any scenes, didn’t have anyone to talk to or learn from. Just stayed together in tight quarters living in a warehouse.” Though in tight quarters, the duo made music without the strict confines of a scene or rigid expectations. They left their beach town to focus on art on their own terms. All the rest is a manifestation

Tight Genes of a desire to simply create. The opening lyrics to the Growlers’ latest single, “Try Hard Fool,” embrace that moment in this band’s history: “Pause but don’t quit/ Don’t let a heart forget.” The Growlers never planned to exist, much less be a massive success. They surrendered to their art and to the hustle, and feel immense gratitude for the position they find themselves in now. “In the beginning, we had no desire to be a successful band … we got forced into it by the songs,” Nielsen says. Figuring it out as they went, as their fanbase grew, the Growlers realized that, purely out of necessity, they would need to tour, find a label, a lawyer, a producer. Nielsen doesn’t allow himself to complain: “It’s easier now, having memories of doing it so long and being so poor. These tours are long and they’re stacked but any pain or suffering on tour, we do to ourselves [by] drinking too much. We’re not allowed to bitch anymore. Things are good.” Pressed on how their bodies have managed to survive such consistent liquid refreshment, Nielsen laughs, “I don’t ask. I’m assuming we are pickling and preserving ourselves for later.” Though that would have been a dandy interview closer, we can’t help ourselves, and ask if the band had any last words for our readers. “The mystery lies in our songs,” Nielsen says simply. “I’ll keep my mouth closed.” music@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

And the rain continues to pour.
R.I.P., Daniel Johnston and Ric Ocasek. This week, a hip-hop legend digs into deeper black roots and a historical reunion.
THE MIDNIGHT HOUR, IRON COW, SEPT. 9
The Midnight Hour is the big, highpower band that swirls, snaps and grooves around the creative nucleus of A Tribe Called Quest’s Ali Shaheed Muhammad and L.A. composer-producer Adrian Younge. No doubt, that Tribe credential leaps out like a lion. But focusing too much on it would be missing the point. While Tribe wove jazz into rap and found one of the most peanut-butter-andchocolate combinations in modern music, the Midnight Hour are a full-on jazz revelation. Yes, there’s some orchestral flourish, hip-hop kick and miles of soul in there, but there’s little doubt what beats at the core here. For their Orlando debut, the Midnight Hour were in full effect with eight members strong. Inspired by the verve and ethos of the Harlem Renaissance, their classic sound is the quintessence of fine black expression. The perspective is exacting and studied but the ride is liquid sophistication. Even with all the instrument changes between the players and sparks of edgy electricity in Malachi Morehead’s drumming, the ensemble kept everything in the pocket and velvet with their unflappable cool. Both vocalists brought their own dynamic flair to the affair. Loren Oden’s creamy soul is simply textbook. And the acrobatic neo-soul silk of Angela Muñoz arrests immediately on first listen and then straight-up floors when you learn
Jenny Lewis came out like a Roman candle, her signature retro fantasy gone maximum glitz with head-totoe sparkle, full bouffant hair and a sensational piano that one of the most defining and selfpossessed forces on stage all night is only 17 years old. All told, the Midnight Hour is a very specific concept done with total dash and conviction. And their Orlando appearance was moving and momentous. But the closing address by the band’s two star principals certified the Midnight Hour as a live experience. For as accomplished and experienced as they are, Younge and Muhammad were notably heartfelt and humble in their expressions of gratitude to be on stage. That candid moment was a personal articulation of the spell that happens when audience and artist meet in a room with the same connective intent. Even pros like these aren’t above that kind of alchemy.
JENNY LEWIS AND THE WATSON TWINS, THE BEACHAM, SEPT. 11
When Jenny Lewis first struck out on her own, she launched her post-Rilo Kiley career like a rocket with the double booster of the Watson Twins strapped to her back on 2006’s Rabbit Fur Coat. Everyone knows the persistence of first
impressions, and these ladies made some real magic together right out the gate. Before anyone gets too pumped about a reunion, though, this tour bill is Jenny Lewis and the Watson Twins, not Jenny Lewis & the Watson Twins. In other words, the Watsons are opening up for Lewis doing their own work rather than as part of Lewis’ band. While the Watsons’ well-mannered set was like a pleasing, fleeting dream, Jenny Lewis came out like a Roman candle, proving that her signature retro fantasy has gone maximum glitz. She’s always had a highly crafted visual flair to go along with her good songs. But with head-to-toe sparkle, full bouffant hair and a sensational piano, this is next-level. Beyond just looks, though, this show personified how much Lewis has grown up as a performer and songwriter. She’s moved resolutely past those twee tendencies that sometimes made her easy to discount and traded them for newfound gravity, something she’s not always had. Getting remarkably better with age, she sounded better and looked more in charge here than perhaps ever, like a true icon. Although the two acts were discrete, you didn’t seriously think they could resist the opportunity and inevitability of reuniting onstage, did you? If they didn’t rekindle that original flame live, then whatever passes for a riot at a Jenny Lewis show would surely ensue. We had to wait until the last encore, but the Watson Twins finally re-emerged to great fanfare. And it was glory revived, especially when that Orlando lyric from “The Charging Sky” came with all three of them together again. baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com

The Nightmare MUSIC
If you want a précis on the state of raw Floridian punk in 2019, you can’t take a more vital pulse than the ones racing wildly on Thursday. It’s a stacked bill that features a trio of South Floridian worthies – Devalued, Rhino, Spur – along with Gainesville berserkers Carajo, and locals Problem Pack, Deathilepsy and the Nightmare. Gig organizers and driving force the Nightmare recently scored a Writer’s Pick win in our Best of Orlando issue for Best Local Cassette, and where they may shine on analog tape, they are exponentially more immediate live. Young, very loud and immeasurably pissed at the state of our rapidly cratering society, the Nightmare are ones to watch. – Matthew Moyer with Devalued, Rhino, Spur, Carajo, Problem Pack | 8 p.m. | Uncle Lou’s Entertainment Hall, 1016 N. Mills Ave. | 407-898-0009 | $10

Orlando Taco Week EVENTS
If you remember the huge response to Orlando Burger Week earlier this year, you’ll know how important it is to jump on the Orlando Taco Week wagon early. More than 25 restaurants offer up $5 taco packages, giving you the chance to try new flavors and old favorites for rock-bottom prices. You can even grab a taco passport to keep track of your taco travels, and if you get at least four stamps from four different restaurants, you can enter a drawing for a special grand prize. Restaurants include Jimmy Hula’s, Tako Cheena, Cocina 214, the Gnarly Barley and plenty more. Even better, you don’t need to buy anything to try these deals: Just ask for the Orlando Taco Week menu and dig in. – Thaddeus McCollum Through Sunday, Sept. 29 | multiple locations | orlandotacoweek.com | $5

Alan Jackson MUSIC
OUR PICKS FOR THE BEST EVENTS THIS WEEK
42
In its own way, Alan Jackson’s signature moustache (now sadly gone), mullet and cowboy hat are as enduring a country music look as Johnny Cash’s all-black ensemble. And, like Cash, Country Music Hall of Famer Jackson keeps his songcraft staunchly focused on the fundamentals of timeless, blue-collar country music. You’ll get a Jackson chorus, delivered in his honeyed drawl, stuck in your head for days. This is Jackson’s first Orlando show in roughly two decades, and he’s promised to bring a clutch of greatest hits that stretches back to his breakthrough 1990 debut album, Here in the Real World. Few have blended traditionalist honky-tonk swing with an acute mainstream sensibility better than Jackson – indeed, as far as his direct peers go, only Garth Brooks has outsold him. Our only regret is that this concert isn’t later in the year, in the hope that Jackson would bust out a couple numbers from Honky Tonk Christmas. – MM with William Michael Morgan | 7:30 p.m. | Amway Center, 400 W. Church St. | 407-440-7900 | amwaycenter.com | $36.99-$619

The Color Run SPORTS
Sweat out the toxicity in your life at the Orlando Color Run. Pre-race dance parties, free gear and photo ops will have you seeing red, blue, pink and yellow while pumping out some endorphins. Inspired by Disney’s World of Color, paint parties, mud runs and festivals throughout the world such as Holi, Color Run is an untimed 5K run where participants of all ages are doused with colored powder from head to toe as they walk, run or jog their way to the finish line. If you don’t want the fun to stop after the race, you’re in luck. The post-race festival will feature live performances, dancing and of course, more colors. Clean-up stations are also available after the race. – Ross Nobles 9 a.m. | Osceola Heritage Park, 1875 Silver Spur Lane, Kissimmee | thecolorrun.com | $30-$35

Cupcakke MUSIC
Someone is getting a little richer at Cupcakke’s show at the Social. That’s right, the Chicago rapper sucks, ducks, is sex-positive – and she’s bringing her microphone deep-throating to her fans, aka “Slurpers,” along with some cash. Cupcakke announced via her Twitter that during her $10K Tour, the self-proclaimed “Old Town Hoe” will be giving away $10,000. This is an incentive, of course, but the real main event is Cupcakke’s beyond-energetic live performance, to which fans at her previous Orlando shows can eagerly attest. – Jerilyn Jordan 6 p.m. | The Social, 54 N.

Seven years ago, New York-based Bang on a Can’s Found Sound Nation and the U.S. State Department’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs collaborated to create a music program called OneBeat. Every fall, young musicians from all over the world come together to write and produce original music. After a month of blending their creative juices into a revolutionary production, these musical ambassadors go on an artistic adventure across the United States, and this weekend, they make a stop in Orlando at the Timucua Arts Foundation. This diverse group are trailblazers for the next generation of music and multinational understanding. They say there’s nothing new under the sun, so before it sets, watch these talented musicians deliver auditory innovations through cross-cultural collaboration. – Wavanie Henry

Carlton Ward Jr.: Florida Wild LEARNING
To catch a glimpse of a Florida panther roaming the Sunshine State’s wild terrain is an unlikely experience; fewer than 200 adult panthers currently survive. But National Geographic conservation photographer Carlton Ward Jr. has captured monumental moments and photographed rare sightings of this endangered species by setting up camera traps during his latest National Geographic project, “Path of the Panther.” This native Floridian explorer has impressive stories to tell; his 60-minute lecture is likely to both delight and dismay audiences. Ward’s advocacy for the Florida panther has reached beyond his photographs as he speaks out, hoping to educate and inspire others to focus their priorities on the threatened habitat of Florida’s Wildlife Corridor. – Sarah Jennifer Hardin 7 p.m. | Bush Auditorium, Rollins College, 1000 Holt Ave., Winter Park | 407-646-1548 | rollins.edu | free

Stranger Things Vintage Pop-Up E V E N TS
For Season Three, Stranger Things brought in a new costume designer, Amy Parris, and some might say she’s getting to have all the fun. We appreciated the exquisite realism of Season One’s wardrobing – right down to the way you could tell which characters wore hand-me-downs and which got new school clothes each year – but we’re reveling in the over-the-top ’80s looks being served by Parris. (Eleven in particular clearly mowed through all the rompers, geo-print button-downs and pleated jeans she could find at the Starcourt.) If you have a Mind Flayer that needs destroying in your own life, suit up at Sunday’s Stranger Things-themed pop-up sale at Retromended. Not only might you find the splatter-painted skinny leather tie of your dreams, the experts on hand will be happy to help you style your new rags so as to avoid Hopper’s Miami Viceesque date look – unless that’s what you’re going for. – Jessica Bryce Young 1-5 p.m. | Retromended Vintage, 930 N.

B Y DA N S AVAG E
My son has always liked handcuffs and tying people up as a form of play. He is 12 now, and the delight he finds in cuffing has not faded along with his love of Legos. He lobbied hard to be allowed to buy a hefty pair of handcuffs. We cautioned him strongly about consent – he has a younger brother – and he has been good about it. In the last year, though, I found out that he is cuffing himself while alone in the house – and when discovered, he becomes embarrassed and insists it’s a joke. I found him asleep one night with his wrists cuffed. I removed the cuffs and spoke to him the next morning about safety. Then recently, when returning home late, I saw him (through his window, from the back of the house) naked and cuffed with a leather belt around his waist, which seemed attached to the cuffs. This escalation was scarier. I haven’t spoken to him about it. My concern about the bondage stuff is that there are some risks (like escaping a fire), particularly if he gets more adventurous (restricting breathing, etc.). This is something he is doing secretly and alone. He is a smart kid, an athlete and a fairly conscientious scholar. He has friends but sometimes feels lonely. He is going through puberty with its attendant madness – defiance, surliness, etc. – but he is also very loving and kind. He is also quite boastful, which I interpret as insecurity. I can’t help feeling that this bondage stuff is related to these issues, and I worry about self-esteem and self-loathing. We are considering getting him some help. Any advice for us? Completely Understandable Fears For Son When a concerned parent reaches out to an advice columnist with a question like yours, CUFFS, the columnist is supposed to call in the child psychologists. But I thought it might be more interesting – I actually thought it might be more helpful – if I shared your letter with a different class of experts: adult men who were tying themselves up when they were 12 years old. “This boy sounds a lot like how I was at his age,” says James “Jimmy” Woelfel, a bondage porn star with a huge online following. “I want to reassure CUFFS that the discovery of things like this, even at a young age, is extremely common. We may not know why we like this stuff at the time, we just know we do.” Jimmy is correct: Many adults who are into bondage, heavy or otherwise, became aware of their bondage kinks at a very early age. “The vast majority of BDSM practitioners report that their sexual interests developed relatively early in life, specifically before the age of 25,” Dr. Justin Lehmiller wrote in a recent post on his invaluable Sex and Psychology blog. “Further, a minority of these folks (7–12% across studies) report that their interests actually developed around the time of puberty (ages 10–12), which is when 50
other traditional aspects of sexual orientation develop (e.g., attraction based on sex/ gender).” While an obsession with handcuffs at age 6 isn’t proof a kid is going to grow up with an erotic interest in bondage – lots of kids like to play cops and robbers – a boy who’s cuffing himself in the throes of puberty and doing so in the nude and in secret … yeah, that boy is almost certainly going to be into bondage when he grows up. And that boy is also going to be embarrassed when his parents discover him in handcuffs for the exact same reason a boy is going to be embarrassed when his parents walk in on him masturbating – because he’s having a private sexual experience that he really doesn’t want to discuss with his parents. As for your son’s insecurities and loneliness, CUFFS, they may not be related to his interest in bondage at all. They’re more likely a reaction to the shame he feels about his kinks than to the kinks themselves. (And aren’t most 12-year-olds, handcuff obsession or no, insecure?) “People do bondage for various reasons,” says Trikoot, a self-described “bondage fanatic” and occasional kink educator from Helsinki, Finland. “It’s not always sexual, and it’s almost never a symptom of self-loathing – and a counselor will not ‘erase’ a taste for bondage. Too many kinksters had young lives full of shame and hiding, only to accept themselves years later and then discover what they’ve missed out on.” In other words, CUFFS, parents and counselors can’t talk a child out of his kinks any more than they can talk a child out of his sexual orientation. This stuff is hardwired. And once someone accepts his kinks, whatever anxiety he feels about them eventually evaporates. All that said, however awkward it was for you and mortifying for him when you found him asleep in his handcuffs, Jimmy thinks there may be an upside. “I was extremely embarrassed when my mom caught me,” he says. “She didn’t know how to respond and neither did I at the time. We merely went on as if it never happened. But it was somewhat comforting to know there wasn’t going to be a major backlash. It was better than living in fear.” Now that you know what you know about your son, CUFFS, what do you do? Well, with the burden of knowing comes the responsibility – not just to educate and warn, but to offer your son a little hope for his future. “Consent and safety are two of the most important universal issues in bondage, and CUFFS has wisely addressed both of them,” Trikoot says. And you should stress both in a follow-up conversation. “There are boundaries that should never be crossed, such as solo breath play, which regularly kills even experienced adults. But dabbling with wrist and ankle restraints while being within

“ B O U N DA R I E S ”
shouting distance of the rest of the family is not a serious safety issue.” (Sleeping in handcuffs, however, is a serious safety issue – they can twist, compress nerves and damage the delicate bones of the wrist. He should not be sleeping in them.) Now for the tricky and super-awkward and what will definitely feel somewhat ageinappropriate part: At some point – maybe in a year or two – you need to let your son know that he has a community out there. “When done safely, bondage/kink can be an extremely rewarding experience as he grows into adulthood,” Jimmy says. “Some of the most important people in my life are those whom I’ve shared this love with. It is nothing to be ashamed of – though at his age, it is unfortunately inevitable. How you react can help mitigate such a reaction.” Oh, and stop peeping in your son’s bedroom window at night. That’s creepy. My 12-year-old son wants us to buy him a vibrator. Apparently he had a good experience with a hot tub jet and is looking to replicate that “good” feeling. He has tried replicating it, but is feeling very frustrated. (I always wanted an open and honest relationship with my kids so, um, yay for us?) Additional information: My son is on an SSRI. My husband feels uncomfortable buying my son a sex toy, but I find myself sympathizing with my son’s frustration. But I would be more comfortable if he were 15. We are hoping to figure it out without devices. Are we being reasonable or squeamish? Entirely Mortified Mom When this issue has come up in the past – usually it’s about a daughter who wants a vibrator – my readers have endorsed getting the kid an Amazon gift card and getting out of the way, i.e., letting them get online and buy themselves something and not scrutinizing the purchase once it arrives. You could go that route, EMM. Or you could make an end run around this whole issue by installing a pulsating shower head in your bathroom or getting your son an electric toothbrush. (Also, antidepressants – SSRIs – can make it more difficult for a person to climax, so you may not be able to “figure it out without devices.”) On the Lovecast: are men and women equally kinky?
