» Orlando Police arrest man who allegedly vandalized LGBTQ+ support center murals

Orlando Police arrested a 34-year-old man on Sept. 13, charging him with three counts of criminal mischief for defacing pro-LGBTQ+ murals at The Center and Zebra Youth along Mills Avenue. The murals were defaced last month with anti-LGBTQ+ language. Messages like “Gay is not OK” and “Save kids’ eyes from trans lies” as well as swastikas and Iron Crosses covered the murals. A sign was also stuck to the wall reading “Knights of the Black Sun,” a known white nationalist and neo-Nazi group. Mural artist Kim Murphy was joined by Zebra Youth staff, City Commissioner Patty Sheehan and community volunteers to paint over the hate messages almost immediately. The job was done in less than 24 hours after the murals were found vandalized. Police say an investigation into the vandalism is ongoing. Anyone with information related to the incident is encouraged by OPD to report it to the Orlando Police Criminal Investigations Division or to the anonymous Central Florida Crimeline at 1-800-423-8477.

» DeSantis administration advises against new COVID-19 vaccine,

contradicting federal guidance

Continuing a long-running clash with federal health officials, Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration recommended that people under age 65 not receive newly approved COVID-19 booster shots. Guidance issued by State Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo, advising against the booster, was dramatically different from a recommendation just one day before by the CDC, which said people 6 months old and older should receive updated COVID-19 vaccines. The CDC recommendation came a day after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved use of vaccines that it said are “formulated to more closely target currently circulating variants.” The Florida Department of Health guidance, however, said “the most recent booster approval was granted in the absence of any meaningful booster-specific clinical trial data performed in humans.” It also contended that the “federal government has failed to provide sufficient data to support the safety and efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccines.” Ladapo has become a nationally prominent skeptic of COVID-19 vaccines and federal policies dealing with the pandemic. DeSantis also has made opposition to such measures as mask requirements and lockdowns a signature political issue as he runs for president. Nearly 91,000 Florida residents have died of COVID-19 since the pandemic started in 2020, according to the state Department of Health. Nearly 78% were people age 65 or older. Despite Ladapo’s skepticism, the FDA has said their agency is “confident in the safety and effectiveness of these updated vaccines.”

» Nonprofit calls on Florida to release info on private schools receiving taxpayer-funded vouchers

The Florida Policy Institute, a liberal-leaning nonprofit organization, called for the state’s Department of Education to provide information about how many additional private schools are accepting taxpayer-funded school vouchers after a massive expansion of voucher programs took effect in July. Nearly 123,000 new students have received private-school vouchers after state lawmakers this year passed a major expansion of voucher programs. A new law (HB 1), approved by the Legislature and Gov. Ron DeSantis this spring, made changes such as eliminating income eligibility requirements to receive vouchers and allowing home-schooled students to receive the assistance. The FPI, which opposed the voucher expansion, is seeking info about private schools accepting the vouchers and other details such as demographic information about voucher recipients, arguing that having this information is important for assessing the program’s return on investment. The group is also seeking information about how many families of home-schooled students, previously exempted from the program, have applied for vouchers. The group said that such information has not been published by the Department of Education. The program’s expansion has come under fire after the Tampa Bay Times first reported that some parents were using their $8,000 vouchers to subsidize purchases like new big-screen TVs, theme park tickets to Disney and stand-up paddleboards.

» Florida Democrat files bill to protect people from being criminally charged for getting abortions

Shortly after Gov. Ron DeSantis inaccurately stated on TV that Florida’s abortion law doesn’t actually criminalize people who get an abortion past 15 weeks, Florida Democrat Lauren Book filed a bill to be considered during next year’s legislative session that would follow through on that statement. Book, a Democrat from Broward County, filed a bill that would prevent pregnant women

from being criminally charged or prosecuted for getting an abortion. Under current law, there is a third-degree felony penalty charge for “any person who willfully performs or actively participates in a termination of pregnancy” past 15 weeks of pregnancy. In an interview with a TV anchor, DeSantis — a Republican presidential candidate — claimed that only medical providers are subject to criminal charges. Book’s bill, which could be considered in January, admittedly faces an uphill battle, and could be ignored altogether by the GOP majority in the state Legislature, who voted in favor of enacting Florida’s 15-week abortion ban as well as a six-week ban that has not yet gone into effect due to an ongoing legal battle.

» Disney district continues talks over replacing employee passes

The Central Florida Tourism Oversight District is continuing to discuss ways to replace a decadesold practice of providing Walt Disney World passes to employees. In the latest update, District Chairman Martin Garcia said the district is considering an annual “stipend” of $1,400 for employees that could be used to offset annual park fees, which for Florida residents range from $399 to $969 per person. District firefighters have questioned the change, but Garcia called the free passes a “bad policy.” He previously said the park-related benefits weren’t equitably used by employees and that the policy could be illegal. The perk war was among the latest twists for the newly created Central Florida Tourism Oversight District, which succeeded the former Reedy Creek Improvement District amid a feud between Gov. Ron DeSantis and Disney. The Reedy Creek district, created in the 1960s to provide local-government services in the Disney area, was closely aligned with the company. Disney contends in a federal lawsuit that the state retaliated against it and violated First Amendment rights because of the company’s opposition to a 2022 law that restricted discussion of gender identity and sexual orientation in schools. The Central Florida Tourism Oversight District has countered with a state lawsuit that questions development agreements that Disney reached with the former Reedy Creek board.

INSPECTION REJECTION

State defends provision of SB 1718 that threatens felony charges for people who transport an immigrant who entered the country illegally

BY JIM SAUNDERS, NSF

Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody on Friday urged a federal judge to reject an attempt to block part of a new state law targeting people who transport undocumented immigrants into the state.

Lawyers in Moody’s office argued that U.S. District Judge Roy Altman should deny a request for a preliminary injunction sought by the Farmworker Association of Florida and individual plaintiffs in a lawsuit filed in July.

The case centers on part of a broader immigration law that threatens felony charges for people who transport an immigrant who “entered the United States in violation of law and has not been inspected by the federal government since his or her unlawful entry.”

In seeking the preliminary injunction, the plaintiffs contend that federal immigration law trumps — or “preempts” — the state measure. Also, they contend that the state law is unconstitutionally vague.

But Moody’s office Friday tried to refute the arguments, in part focusing on the word “inspected” in the law.

“The challenged statute prohibits knowingly transporting individuals across state lines — both aliens and U.S. citizens alike — when the federal government has had no opportunity to inspect them following an illegal border crossing,” the state’s lawyers wrote.

“Inspections serve several important purposes, including screening for communicable diseases, searching for contraband such as illicit fentanyl and determining if a person is a threat to national security. A person who has not been inspected should be reported to the federal government, not intentionally moved across the country, and Florida’s law codifying that commonsense proposition is neither preempted nor vague.”

The document also said the plaintiffs’ concerns about the law are “simply misplaced.”

“Visa holders, DACA [Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program] recipients and aliens with pending applications for asylum or removal proceedings have all been ‘inspected’ because they have notified the federal government of their presence, and the federal government can decide whether to take immediate action,” the state’s lawyers wrote.

But in the motion for a preliminary injunction, the plaintiffs’ attorneys argued that the law “imposes a staggering hardship on plaintiffs, other Floridians and travelers to Florida, who now face criminal penalties for visiting their families, doing

their jobs, seeking medical care and engaging in other everyday activities.”

The plaintiffs’ lawyers argued, in part, that the state’s category of “inspected” migrants is not included in a federal law, the Immigration and Nationality Act, and that it was “created out of whole cloth.”

“Because the INA [Immigration and Nationality Act] does not answer whether a person has been ‘inspected’ ‘since’ entry, Section 10 the part of the law puts state and local officials in the untenable position of determining this classification themselves,” the motion said.

“To enforce Section 10, Florida police, prosecutors, judges, and juries would have to examine a passenger’s entire immigration history, and then determine whether that history includes ‘inspection’ ‘since’ entry, without any federal definition to consult. There is no federally issued document that confirms whether a person has been ‘inspected’ since entry. There is no federal official to call, because federal officials cannot determine whether a person meets a classification that does not exist in federal law.”

The transportation restriction was included in a immigration bill that spurred heavy debate before it was approved this spring by the Republicancontrolled Legislature and Gov. Ron DeSantis. The law (SB 1718) also includes changes such as requiring businesses with more than 25 employees to use the federal E-Verify system to check the immigration status of workers.

In arguing for the transportation restrictions, supporters said, in part, that it would help prevent human smuggling.

But opponents and the lawsuit have contended that it could prevent friends and family from visiting each other, hamper parents from seeking health care for their children and affect churches that work with migrants.

DeSantis, who is running for president in 2024, and Moody have made immigration policy a high-profile issue in recent years. That includes the state filing lawsuits challenging the Biden administration over its handling of migrants crossing the country’s southern border.

The governor also has drawn national headlines for Florida-sponsored charter flights that brought migrants from Texas to Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts in September 2022 and Sacramento, Calif., in June. Alianza Americas and other plaintiffs filed a potential class-action lawsuit challenging the Massachusetts flights.

Several civil rights groups filed a complaint last Tuesday with the federal government, alleging Florida discriminates against minorities by disproportionately dropping them from Medicaid after eligibility reviews.

UnidosUS — the largest Latino civil rights organization in the nation — said it filed the complaint with the O ce of Civil Rights of the United States Department of Health and Human Services after publishing a report earlier this month that found more than 400,000 Floridians had lost their Medicaid coverage.

The organization said in a news release that underserved communities were disproportionately impacted.

In March, a 2020 rule that temporarily paused eligibility reviews of Medicaid recipients expired and states starting purging their Medicaid rolls of those who didn’t meet the income requirements.

According to data from the Kaiser Family Foundation’s Medicaid Enrollment and Unwinding Tracker, Florida’s Medicaid recipients declined 7% from April to July, shrinking from 5.78 million to 5.36 million.

In their complaint, UnidosUS alleges Florida has illegally discriminated against Latino, African American and immigrant families in its Medicaid redetermination process.

Also supporting the complaint were Central Florida Jobs With Justice, Florida Health Justice Project, Florida Policy Institute, Hispanic Services Council, Housing Education Alliance, Latino Leadership, National Immigration Law Center, Protect Our Care, State Innovation Exchange Action, Equal Ground and MomsRising/ MamásConPoder.

The complaint states that Florida Medicaid violates Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Law, which prohibits discrimination based on race or national origin by recipients of federal funds.

Jared Nordlund, UnidosUS Florida Director, stated in a press release that Florida should ensure all eligible children retain their Medicaid coverage.

“Floridians want their leaders to make sure our children grow up healthy and strong,” Nordlund said in a statement.

“With two-thirds of Florida’s children relying on Medicaid for their health care, Florida should be leaving no stone unturned in making sure that all eligible children keep their health care.”

Nordlund added that bureaucracy and red tape are preventing parents from being able to renew health coverage for their children.

According to the news release, barriers preventing underserved communities from verifying continued Medicaid coverage include limited access to the Medicaid agency website, which can only be accessed by a computer; understa ed call centers lacking Spanishspeaking operators; and discriminatory community engagement.

Equal Ground Founder and Director Jasmine Burney-Clark said in a statement that cutting children from their Medicaid coverage is reckless.

“Upholding Title VI and equitable use of federal funds is vital for communities of color,” Burney-Clark said.

“This commitment ensures that every citizen, regardless of their background, has equal access to essential services and opportunities. To not prioritize children’s health care at a time when Floridians are struggling to keep up with basic needs like housing and the cost of living is reckless, at best.”

RAISING EYEBROWS

Orange County leaders quietly approve 25% pay boost for themselves in a 4-2 vote for new six-figure salaries

BY MCKENNA SCHUELER

As Orange County leaders work on finalizing a county budget for the next fiscal year, beginning Oct. 1, they’ve gone ahead and approved a nearly 25% raise for their own publicly funded salaries, boosting county commissioners into the six-figure salary range.

County commissioners voted 4–2 in a split vote for the salary boost, with commissioners Nicole Wilson and Emily Bonilla voting against it.

Mayor Jerry Demings, who was present for the rest of the board meeting last Tuesday, was noticeably absent for the vote after first voting against the proposal in July.

A county spokesperson told Orlando Weekly Demings had “a very important personal matter” to attend to Tuesday afternoon, leaving Vice-Mayor Maribel Gomez-Cordero to lead the rest of the meeting.

With this vote, the board’s six county commissioners will earn $113,608 annually, effective Sept. 17, while the mayor will see nearly double that: a $227,812 annual salary.

This makes Demings the highest-paid Orange County public official, behind only Sheriff John Mina, who is paid a salary of roughly $229,000. (Ironically, Mayor Demings served as sheriff himself prior to being elected county mayor in 2018.)

Why did they approve such a seemingly hefty boost? After Commissioner Emily Bonilla first pitched higher commissioner

salaries last year, citing the sacrifices they take on to serve the public, the county’s human resources department this year put together an analysis of salaries in Florida’s most populous counties to see where commissioners in other counties were at.

Essentially, their analysis found that Orange County commissioners are paid less than public officials in similarly sized Florida counties, such as Hillsborough and Palm Beach, which use different formulas to calculate pay.

“Orange County, in terms of population, is the fifth largest county [in Florida],” Lisa Snead, Assistant County Administrator, told the board of county commissioners in July. “However, if you look at the wages of the commissioners, we are at the bottom of that.”

In Hillsborough, Palm Beach and Broward counties, for example, which follow a state formula, county commissioners are paid $113,608 annually already.

That state formula, which Orange County commissioners voted to adopt, is essentially population-based. They wouldn’t get a 25% pay raise every year, under that formula, but because Orange County’s playing catch-up with those others, that’s what it’d amount to this year.

Even commissioners in some other smaller, neighboring counties (like Osceola and Seminole) are currently paid more: $98,623 and $102,132 respectively.

Based on HR’s analysis, county staff came up with four options

to present to the board of commissioners and Demings in July, one of which included keeping the current formula as is.

In the board’s first vote in July, the board voted 5-2 for the option that would give them the highest raise, with Demings and Bonilla voting against it.

When Bonilla first brought up the idea of a salary increase last year (earning her flak from landlord apologists and others), Demings said the optics and the timing was “all wrong.” Demings didn’t explain his vote against the salary boost (higher this year than Bonilla’s pitch) in July. And, as previously mentioned, he was absent during Tuesday’s discussion.

Bonilla previously told Orlando Weekly that while she wasn’t necessarily opposed to the raise, she voted against the boost largely because of a separate funding request for her office that she felt had been dismissed by Demings and county staff.

During Tuesday’s board meeting, Bonilla also expressed dismay with lumping commissioners’ percentage salary increase with the mayor’s.

Amid increased tension in the room, she made a motion to carve the mayor out of the proposed increase for a separate vote — but because no one seconded it, the motion failed.

Commissioner Wilson, who voted in favor of the salary increase in July, said on Tuesday she didn’t like the idea of voting on the issue with Demings absent.

“I’m not comfortable making this determination in a moment that the mayor is not here for the discussion or for the vote,” she shared candidly.

Commissioner Mike Scott motioned (as he did in July) to approve a change to county code that would pave the way for that salary boost, with the motion seconded by Commissioner Christine Moore.

The annual fiscal impact of the salary change will amount to $179,652, according to Snead, the assistant county administrator, making it just a drop in the bucket in the grand scheme of things.

There was no public comment during the public hearing on the change ahead of the vote Tuesday evening, although Cynthia Harris — a 2022 candidate for the District 6 seat on the county commission, who lost to sitting Commissioner Mike Scott — blasted county leaders over the issue earlier in the day.

“If you can resolve giving yourself a 25 percent raise and find it in the budget, you can resolve the homelessness problem that we have here in this community, the high crime that we have in this community, the food insecurities that we have in this community,” said Harris.

“I think it’s unfair,” she added, “and a slap in the face.”

Homelessness in Central Florida, home to the “Most Magical Place on Earth,” has increased over the last year, with major housing cost increases during the pandemic surpassing wage growth.

The county’s taken incremental steps to address unaffordable housing issues, largely through partnership with private interests and developers.

But the ongoing problem is a sore spot for communities that feel left behind, as the county considers throwing millions of additional tax dollars into tourism marketing and costly projects pitched by venues like Camping World Stadium and the sprawling Orange County Convention Center.

Snead said the 24.58% salary boost this year will simply align the mayor and commissioners’ pay “with the market.”

The boost approved Tuesday (altering city code) will in the future limit commissioners’ salary increases to the percentage increase in pay given to other non-bargaining (i.e. non-union) employees.

Feld

Attending the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey circus was a cherished yearly ritual throughout my childhood, and I faithfully covered its annual Orlando appearances until the nearly 150-year-old tradition came to an end in 2017. So I was thrilled to recently receive an invitation to attend dress rehearsals for the rebooted and reimagined Ringling circus, which premieres in Louisiana later this month ahead of its Amway Center run next January.

In addition getting to tour Feld Entertainment’s ginormous Palmetto headquarters — also home to Disney on Ice, Monster Jam and Jurassic World Live — and preview the new production, the highlight of my visit was an opportunity to interview Juliette Feld Grossman, who carries on the family legacy of legendary impresarios Irvin and Kenneth Feld as current producer of the all-new “Greatest Show on Earth.”

As much as Ringling Bros. forms a part of my core memories, that’s nothing compared to how Grossman grew up immersed in circus culture.“I can’t remember a time before Ringling because I’m third generation,“ says Grossman.“For me, it’s always been such a special place in my heart, and getting to grow up around rehearsals and getting to see the whole process … it’s just pretty special.”

The decision to end the former version of the Ringling circus came after years of animal-related controversies, and just a couple of years before the pandemic, which led to the show being away longer than the Felds originally envisioned.

“We certainly had a difficult time when COVID happened in 2020, because our business is about bringing people together,” recalls Grossman. They completed their Supercross bike racing finals inside a “bubble” in Salt Lake City in June 2020, and relaunched touring shows that October. “Though we were limited on what

states we could travel to, we were really cautious and conscientious in terms of local regulation on testing for our audience and for performers, as well as for seating arrangements. We worked through all of that so we could bring audiences some joy during that terrible time.”

Three years later, Feld has redeployed all of their prior properties and more. This September, they launch a new Disney on Ice show and will present the inaugural Super Motocross World Championship, but it’s the imminent relaunch of Ringling Brothers, Barnum and Bailey that has Grossman most excited. “It was always our hope that we would bring Ringling out again, because it is such a special and iconic part of American culture, and it’s certainly at the core and the heart of our company.”

Although they’ve been working internally toward restarting the circus ever since 2017, the relaunch involved much more than simply

“flipping a switch.”

“When we closed [in 2017] there were a lot of elements of the business model that could no longer function as they had been, and there had to be a lot of thinking about how do we continue as the ‘Greatest Show on Earth’ with all the things that we had to reconsider,” acknowledges Grossman. “We started first looking at what should the footprint of the production be, and then we spent a lot of time doing ideation sessions, doing consumer research [and] other kinds of exploration to bring forward ideas.

“We were originally slated to open in 2021, but because of COVID we postponed two years, and I think in that time it was beneficial to really develop what is now a spectacular show.”

Naturally, we have to address the elephant that’s not in the room: Ringling’s performing pachyderms have retired to White Oak Conservation near Jacksonville, and the new circus contains no non-humans aside from a frisky robotic dog.“Our focus is on the performers, and we did an incredible global casting search,” says Grossman. “We evaluated over 4,000 different submissions in terms of performers and traveled to over a dozen countries, so we’re really thrilled with the talent that we have here and the show that we’re bringing to life.”

Finally, I was inspired by Steven Spielberg’s autobiographical film The Fabelmans to ask if Grossman felt a connection between the Jewish heritage we both share and the role the circus has played helping carve a place for outsiders in American culture. Although she hasn’t seen the film, she told me Ringling has “always brought together people from around the world, and this production is no different with people from 18 different nationalities, with probably about 10 different languages or more spoken here.

“It’s always been a place where everyone is welcome, and where everyone can find a place as long as they have a talent. That’s a pretty special element of Ringling [and] being around it growing up has led me to take a really holistic view on people and different cultures.”

BEIRUT OF THE MATTER

Beirut Bakery & Deli and Beirut Grill & Deli deliver Levantine delights of the highest order

BY FAIYAZ KARA

When Instagram exposed me to a phyllo-wrapped Middle Eastern rice dish known as ouzi, I had no choice but to make a beeline to the source — Beirut Bakery & Deli on South Orange Blossom Trail. The modest Lebanese establishment near Whisper Lakes displays great excess in its offerings, luring peckish patrons to its glass case stacked with fatayer (small savory pies and turnovers), baklava of local and Levantine origin, and containers of maamoul mad bil ashta, a sweet and creamy semolina-topped dessert akin to kunefe but with a bottom layer of pistachios. The bill of fare brims with sammies, manakish (flatbreads) and various mezze.

On a first visit, the dining pal and I scarfed down sfiha ($1.99), a diamond of dough folded with spiced and seasoned minced beef, and quite indecorously ravished beef- and walnut-filled kibbeh ($4.99), dipping the little footballs of meat into smooth hummus before popping them into our mouths. We tore into inflated lavash, the steam burning our fingers, and

scooped muhammara, the most alluring of red pepper dips — at once smoky, spicy, tangy and sweet, thanks to a swirl of pomegranate molasses. That light syrup pools atop baba ghanouj as well, lending complexity to the universally beloved eggplant mash. Flatbreads topped with herbaceous za’atar ($2.99) and Baharat-spiced mince ($5.99) only furthered the indulgence, along with tabbouleh ($7.99) neither annoyingly mouth-puckering nor overzealously parsleyed.

But beyond these impeccably crafted distractions was the sought-after ouzi ($12.99). Cutting open the round pastry released sweet-scented plumes of vapor up our nostrils and revealed a filling of seasoned rice, toasted almonds, peas and plush chunks of lamb. The meal helped fill the void left after my fave Lebanese restaurant, Maraya, closed last summer after 15 years.

“You know,” said Riad Elkhatib, Beirut’s generous owner, “we have another restaurant in Oviedo that has a full grill. Over there we have kebabs and shawarma.” [record scratch]

BEIRUT GRILL & DELI

3100 Alafaya Trail, Oviedo 321-765-4139 beirutgrilldeli.com

Needless to say, the pal and I made plans to go the following day. When we arrived at the Alafaya Trail locale, Elkhatib’s partner, Farouk El-Hassan, greeted us like long-lost brothers. We entrusted our order to the affable gent and he delivered (literally and figuratively), first with a cheese and za’atar “calzone” ($5.99). Its exterior was covered in za’atar; the interior, stuffed with feta-like akkawai cheese. The calzone itself was soft, not doughy in the least — milk powder being the supposed secret to its pillowy texture. Yes, we came for the grilled kebabs and spit-roasted meat, but we couldn’t help but eat it all. We almost did the same with tahini-topped falafel, each a magically crispy fritter if ever there were one — or seven, if you order the platter with rice ($9.99). Evidently, scores of UCF students show up for the falafel sandwich wrapped in Armenian lavash ($7.99). I would too.

That thin, crisp flatbread enveloped our chicken shawarma sandwich stuffed with French fries, garlic sauce and Lebanese pickles ($10.99). The beef shawarma ($11.99), like the chicken shawarma, is also house-made, but rolled with onions, tomato, parsley, sumac, pickles and tahini. That didn’t stop us from dipping it, as well as the not-fatty-in-the-least lamb kebab sandwich ($12.99), into a zippy Tunisian harissa. And grilled kafta ($17.99), with its two cylinders of seasoned beef-lamb mix served over fragrant yellow rice, EVOO-slicked hummus and tabbouleh, is kebab-ing of the highest order.

El-Hassan graciously offered us rice pudding flavored with rose and orange blossom water, lemon and mastic. It was creamy, and surprisingly refreshing, but the rice grains were intact, which I liked. The kunefe ($9.99) is procured from Lebon Sweets in Dearborn, Michigan.

“They make the best,” El-Hassan says. This version, called kunefe na’meh, has a top layer of smooth semolina and a bottom layer of akkawai cheese. It’s not as sweet or syrupy as kunefeh khishneh, whose top layer is made of crunchy shredded phyllo, or kataifi.

The kunefe spawned a debate among the gathered patrons about the treat’s regional differences — Palestinian, Jordanian, Turkish, Lebanese — and which version is better. The bickering died down after everyone takes a bite, and the silence was golden.

OPENINGS and CLOSINGS:

Tim Lovero, former executive sous chef at Luke’s Kitchen in Maitland, will open Coro Restaurant in the old Bikes, Beans & Bordeaux space in Audubon Park before the end of the year. Coro, which means “choir” in Italian, will present an evolving menu of “American-style” small plates and creative dishes with a “slight Italian bent,” says Lovero. Think fresh pasta and lighter sharing fare with Japanese technique, philosophy and ingredients. Lovero, who also cheffed at Prato, Luma on Park and Big Wheel Provisions, says he’s aiming for a late-October opening … Vida Tacos & Tequila, an upscale Mexican restaurant from the owners of Garibaldi in Apopka, is set to open next month in Altamonte Springs … Look for Crispý Cones to open next to the Hourglass Social House at 2415 Curry Ford Road. According to their website, Crispý Cones offers fresh dough cones, “grilled rotisserie-style” then covered with cinnamon and sugar or “a specialty powder.” What that specialty powder is exactly I can’t say, but there’s more: The dough cone is then filled with your choice of spread, gourmet soft-serve ice cream, fruit, and a variety of toppings … More sweets news: AJ Chocolate House has opened in the short-lived FrappeStar Coffee building at 552 S. Park Ave. in Winter Park, next to BurgerFi. The European chocolatier, with locations in Lithuania and Latvia, offers all kinds of bonbons, truffles, cakes and more Twenty Pho Hour, the I-Drive noodle joint resembling a cross between the two-dimensional pages of an unused coloring book and a Roy Lichtenstein painting, will open a location at 14944 E. Orange Lake Blvd. in Kissimmee. No opening date has been announced.

COUCHSURFING

BY STEVE SCHNEIDER

(NOTE: All premiere dates remain subject to last-minute change, while the streamers learn how long striking writers and actors can go without foie gras.)

Premieres Wednesday:

The D’Amelio Show — In Season 3, Dixie has a little help finding a new boyfriend: namely, sister Charli and her own boo, Landon Barker. “You need to be with someone who can keep you grounded and away from tabloid drama,” offers Landon, helpfully. “Like my dad.” (Hulu)

Murdaugh Murders: A Southern Scandal — Season 2 follows up on the conviction of Alex Murdaugh by sharing interviews with folks who have intimate knowledge of the case, including some who were witnesses at his trial. Now all he has to do is kill someone in prison, and this show could go on for years.

(Netflix)

The Super Models — A four-part documentary chronicles the legendary accomplishments of Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista and Christy Turlington. Seems to me that was the same quartet profiled on VH1’s Crusty Socks of the ’80s. (Apple TV+)

Premieres Thursday:

Keegan Ashura: Season 2 — Welcome back to a future dystopia in which the 1 percent settle their disputes by having trained fighters beat the crap out of each other in their name. This time, we’ll find out a little bit about the origins of champion combatant Ohma. Was he intentionally bred for corporate combat, or was there just a ’roid spill one day at the Chamber of Commerce? (Netflix)

Sex Education — The series-ending Season

4 finds the kids enrolled at a swank college where the student body seems ready, willing and able to out-woke them at every turn. It says something when the drama department is the least performative part of a school.

(Netflix)

Young Love — Issa Rae adapts her Oscarwinning animated short Hair Love into a fullfledged series that follows the Young family through their ups and downs at home, in the workplace and across society at large. The last time we saw Issa, she was the whole-ass president of Barbieland; can’t she just hire somebody to do all that stuff for her?

(Max)

Premieres Friday:

The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster — The latest reworking of Frankenstein casts a teenage girl in the role of the mad doctor, with her murdered brother the corpse she strives to reanimate. Man, this could be the best Black take on a classic horror story since Ralph Ellison did Invisible Man! (Shudder)

Cassandro — True LGBT history is the inspiration for a biopic that puts Gael García Bernal in the role of a gay wrestler who became “the Liberace of lucha libre.” Apparently, his main weapon against his adversaries was the humiliation factor. Because nobody wants to have to go to the doctor to have a candelabra removed from a sensitive place. (Prime Video)

The Continental: From the World of John Wick — The reaction to this three-part prequel will answer one of the burning questions of our time: Is anybody going to care about a John Wick story that doesn’t include John Wick?

The absence of an actor as widely beloved as Keanu Reeves would seem like a big impediment, but you have to give this show credit for replacing him with two things that are almost equally unpopular: New York in the ’70s and Mel Gibson. Have fun swimming with those chains, guys. (Peacock)

Love Is Blind: Season 5 — The sight-unseen dating show descends upon Houston for what its producers are calling “the most shocking season yet.” Let me guess: Every contestant has been carrying on a secret affair with Ken Paxton. (Netflix)

No One Will Save You — Kaitlyn Dever

(Unbelievable, Dopesick) plays a recluse who learns that her family home isn’t impervious to extraterrestrial invaders. But that’s what’s gonna happen when your parents weren’t totally square with Truly Nolen. (Hulu)

Song of the Bandits — The 1920s is the timeframe for a series that shows Korean refugees fighting Japanese occupiers in the borderlands of Gando. If they don’t win, at least they’ll have the satisfaction of knowing that nobody who killed them will be appearing in Oppenheimer. (Netflix)

Spy Kids: Armageddon — Robert Rodriguez revisits his seminal family adventure franchise, pitting some intrepid youngsters against a video-game developer who wants to rule the world. Be kind of funny if somebody complained that the CGI looks like a cut scene. (Netflix)

Still Up — A full season’s worth of sleep-deprived romantic banter ensues when a guy and a girl bond over their mutual insomnia. It’s like Before Sunrise, except these two have a medical reason to be insufferable. (Apple TV+)

Premieres Tuesday:

The Devil’s Plan — Wow, an entire series about the career of Lana Del Rey? Nah, it’s just a game show from — you guessed it! — South Korea, in which contestants from various walks of life reveal their intellectual prowess and their inner selves at the same time. Seriously, I never thought I’d reach a point in my life where I’d prefer Lana Del Rey to anything, but I guess that’s what a lack of variety will do to you. (Netflix)

The Fake Sheikh — Witness the rise and fall of Brit tabloid journalist Mazher Mahmood, who assumed a variety of false identities to entrap public figures but then got sent to jail himself. Suddenly, Rudy Giuliani thinks there might be a light at the end of the tunnel in that whole Sacha Baron Cohen business. (Prime Video)

The Victoria’s Secret World Tour — Proving that nothing is ever really canceled, the embattled brand paves the way to resuming its “problematic” fashion shows by spotlighting a newfound emphasis on diversity and self-actualization. And you can buy the forward-thinking fashions on Amazon too, because what good is empowerment if Daddy ain’t gettin’ his beak wet? (Prime Video)

Who Killed Jill Dando? — In 1999, BBC presenter Dando was shot to death on the steps of her home. All these years later, the murder remains unsolved. A doc like this sounds like it could be the pilot for an entire themed series about slain journos, so let’s hope Netflix producing partner Saudi Arabia keeps up the good work. (Netflix)

Streaming premieres you won’t want to miss this week.

FALL CONCERT GUIDE

Our picks for the season’s best gigs — plus a metric ton o’ listings

BY MATTHEW MOYER AND GRAYSON KEGLOVIC

Fall is here, and the leaves are … perhaps greener than ever! But while we don’t really get an autumn per se, there is one seasonal change obvious to local music fans: an uptick in touring as artists and bands who waited out the summer heat get in the van, bus or plane and hit the road. This fall’s calendar is incredibly packed with artists across genres and relative levels of popularity, and we’ve done our level best to harvest a promising crop among the legion of currently-scheduled shows and communicate why you, too, should be excited. Get to the gig, you’ll be glad you did.

WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 27

TV GIRL

Indie rockers TV Girl perform in Orlando for the first time since 2021. The California-native pop band are touring on their seventh and latest album, Grapes Upon the Vine. TV Girl (three men: Brad Petering, Jason Wyman, and Wyatt Harmon) began almost a decade ago, with the 2013 release of their debut album, but the evolution of the internet gave the band’s old music new life. Their 2014 song “Lover’s Rock” gained popularity through social sharing platforms in 2021, leading to over 526 million streams to date on Spotify.

House of Blues, Disney Springs, houseofblues. com, $27.50-$70.

THURSDAY, SEPT. 28

DEATH GRIPS

Experimental, gritty hip-hop trio Death Grips are mind-bogglingly in the midst of a U.S. tour that will take in an Orlando date at dance bastion Vanguard. Expect maximum volume, aggression and kinetic energy from both performers and audience members at these shows, with the band playing sprawling 30-song sets that aren’t afraid to go deep into the B-side waters.

The Vanguard, 578 N. Orange Ave., thevanguard.live, $35.

SEPT. 28-30

LYDIA LUNCH, SHYSTER, HATEBOMBS

Figurehead madness spreads beyond the History Center! For three nights in late September, Jim Faherty takes over Will’s Pub and Conduit with a trio of throwback (and in one case, shove-forward) shows. The Tremolords reassume their original Hatebombs moniker; OG Orlando punks Shyster reconvene for (maybe) one night only; and then the Black Widow of no wave, Lydia Lunch, blesses Orlando for a second time this year. Lunch will roll through with her Retrovirus crew for what is sure to be a volcanic and confrontational evening.

Will’s Pub, 1042 N. Mills Ave., willspub.org; Conduit, 6700 Aloma Ave., Winter Park, conduitfl. com; $20.

SEPT. 29-30

NOFX, MELVINATOR

This double-header is a can’t-miss for’90s punk fans. The main event is, of course, NOFX’s big show at Orlando Amphitheater. It’s part of the band’s final tour and they’re going out in a Butch and Sundance blaze of glory, aided and abetted by all-star comrades Pennywise, Circle Jerks, Less Than Jake, Sick of It All, Codefendants, and the Last Gang. Then, on a more localized tip, NOFX guitarist Eric Melvin does a weekend residency at Conduit. On Friday, Melvin will headline an intimate show under his solo electro-punk guise of Melvinator, and on Saturday he plays DJ after the Orlando Amphitheater show for the official afterparty.

Orlando Amphitheater, 4603 W. Colonial Drive, orlandoamphitheater.com; Conduit, 6700 Aloma Ave., Winter Park, conduitfl.com; $10-$999.

SUNDAY, OCT. 1

KIM PETRAS

Pop sensation Petras’ promo people (we love alliteration) have boldly declared 2023 “the year of Kim Petras” … and y’know what? It ain’t hyperbole for the first time in human history. Her smash hit “Unholy” with Sam Smith cleaned up on the charts and at the MTV VMAs. She played the Grammys and SNL and even posed for the cover of Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit Issue.

ON ST. PETE

SCAN TO LEARN MORE

St. Pete’s most colorful festival is back for its 9th year! SHINE transforms St. Petersburg into a world-class outdoor gallery featuring top contemporary local, national, and international artists. Fourteen new murals will be created downtown along with a series of Bright Spot community mural projects.

Petras is a thoroughly modern pop-culture phenomenon, yes, but she has the songs to back it up. Newest album Feed the Beast offers up anthems like “King of Hearts” and “Claws.” Expect to hear all of that and more.

Addition Financial Arena, 12777 N. Gemini Blvd., additionfiarena.com, $46-$66.

OCT. 3-8

RESIDENCY FESTIVAL

Imagine iconic performers like Beck and Diana playing alongside the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra of London. Now imagine that happening in Orlando (checks notes) next month?! For six days in October, the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts hosts the Residency Festival at Steinmetz Hall, and the festival promises unique, collaborative performances that are flipping our collective wigs. Beck, Diana Ross, Harry Connick Jr., Bach Festival Society of Winter Park, the Birmingham Royal Ballet, and Broadway stars Sutton Foster and Brian Stokes Mitchell will all be accompanied by the prestigious Royal Philharmonic Orchestra of London. Fingers crossed for an orchestral version of “Asshole.”

NESSA BARRETT

TikTok star turned singer-songwriter Nessa Barrett is embarking on her first-ever headlining tour, and the 15-date “Young Forever” jaunt includes a stop at Disney Springs. Barrett rose to fame in 2019 after sharing her life on social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram, but recently transitioned from social media star to proper pop star. She released her debut album young forever last October and was promptly

TUESDAY, OCT. 10

DEPECHE MODE

A reconvened Depeche Mode, now sadly down to a duo of Martin Gore and Dave Gahan after the passing of founding member Andrew Fletcher, are touring the U.S., hitting the City Beautiful for the first time in many years. The British synth-pop godheads are touring behind affecting and emotionally heavy comeback album Memento Mori, but not to worry: Their sets are career-spanning emotional rollercoasters, from the anthemic headrush of “I Feel You” to the fizzy pop of “Everything Counts” and back to the gothic entreaties of “Stripped.” One for all ages.

Amway Center, 400 W. Church St., amwaycenter. com, $75-$250.

TODRICK HALL

Todrick Hall is a jack of all trades, having excelled as a composer, Broadway star, rapper, dancer, producer and influencer since he got his first break on American Idol in 2009. The multitalented internet personality is partnering with Come Out With Pride Orlando to bring “The Velvet Rage: North America Tour” to House of Blues. Hall has racked up almost a billion views on YouTube and has appeared on hit television shows like RuPaul’s Drag Race, Bob’s Burgers, The Masked Singer and more — he even co-executive produced the VMA-winning Taylor Swift music video for “You Need to Calm Down.”

Thankfully, that retirement didn’t stick. In 2023, Cupcakke has headlined a number of Pride events with raucous sets, and celebrated a year of monster streaming numbers on Spotify.

BOB LOG III

Bob Log III is that rarest of phenomenon in 21st-century pop culture — and yes, that includes the underground: a total enigma. What does the third scion of the Log family look like under that reflective motorcycle helmet clamped to his head? Who cares! Log’s been doing it for decades and it’s a rare treat that he’s returning to a familiar local stage. What, exactly, does he do? He puts on a glittery jumpsuit and the aforementioned helmet and romps through a set of outer-space blues, shouting through a telephone mic and conjuring up a glorious racket with only a blownout slide guitar. Will he be transported on an

inflatable ramp around the club by you, the paying audience member? (Don’t ask, just go.) Will’s Pub, 1042 N. Mills Ave, willspub.org, $15-$20.

FRIDAY, OCT. 20

KESHA

It’s been a couple of years since Kesha last graced Orlando with her presence, but the hour is nigh. The pop star only just last week changed the name of her tour from “The Gag Order” to the “Love Only” tour. “This has been a truly transformative year,” said Kesha, explaining the change. “Life is too short, and I want to celebrate the freedom and love in my life with all of you.” Despite the name change, the tour setlist will still center around Kesha’s adventurous new Gag Order album — though past hits are promised. The Rick Rubin-assisted Gag Order follows Kesha on her road to healing after a lengthy battle with depression, and that’s something worth a listen. Hard Rock Live, 6050 Universal Blvd., hardrock. com/live, $55.50-$100.50.

TUESDAY, OCT. 24

SPEEDY ORTIZ

Nineties indie-rock revivalists Speedy Ortiz are very familiar with Orlando stages, and this time around they christen Conduit with their fizzy but jagged pop music. The band just released Rabbit Rabbit earlier this month, hailed for its “crazy, wiry guitar parts” and “playfulness” by the nerds at NPR Music. They’ve been charming audiences for about a decade now, so go see what the critical fuss is all about for yourself. Conduit, 6700 Aloma Ave., Winter Park, conduitfl.com, $16-$18.

TUESDAY, OCT. 31

AMYL AND THE SNIFFERS, TWIN TRIBES

Halloween night is shaping up to be unhinged for live music fanatics in Orlando, and these two shows are definitely the eyes in the metaphorical

jack-o’-lantern. In this corner you have young post-punk duo Twin Tribes, holding fell court at the Abbey with propulsive-but-dour grooves and gothic vibes to spare. But if you’re more “toilet paper the neighborhood” than “dress up like a vampire and hold a seance,” may we recommend Amyl and the Sniffers’ show at the Beacham? The Australian punk riot squad live up to all of the sleazy, unpredictable chaos that their name hints at. True ghouls will try to rampage back and forth betwixt the two shows. Trick and treat! The Abbey, 100 S. Eola Drive, abbeyorlando. com; The Beacham, 46 N. Orange Ave., foundationpresents.com; $20-30.

FRIDAY, NOV. 3

MALUMA

Latin pop megastar and Madame Tussauds mainstay Maluma will soon be romancing Orlando when his “Don Juan” tour comes to town. The singer’s 30-date U.S. trek kicked off on the West Coast in late August and reaches Orlando soon. This show is the penultimate date of the tour and marks the first time Maluma has played the City Beautiful since his “Papi Juancho” tour rolled through town in 2021. “I can’t wait to perform the new songs from the album for my fans for the very first time alongside my greatest hits in what I consider to be my most ambitious concert production yet,” gushed Maluma when announcing the tour.

Amway Center, 400 W. Church St., amwaycenter. com, $61-$171.

WEDNESDAY, NOV. 8

GRAHAM NASH

Similar to Depeche Mode (odd comparison but bear with us), the passing of David Crosby has left CSN without the C and Graham Nash without his telepathic harmony brother. But Nash is still with us, and has a rich catalog of songs (solo work, The Hollies, CSN, CSNY) and, as it turns out, stories to tell. This solo turn at Steinmetz — which might suit his still-pristine voice very well — is billed as “60 Years of Songs and Stories.” And considering Nash lived through the British Invasion, Woodstock, Altamont and the high drama that was CSNY … the story possibilities seem endless.

Steinmetz Hall, Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, 445 S. Magnolia Ave, drphillipscenter.org, $46-$350.

WEDNESDAY, NOV. 8

JOJI

Multitalented entertainer Joji is taking Orlando by storm in November. Joji is a selftaught entertainer, gaining his fame on YouTube and Jackass . The Australian-Japanese singer-songwriter scrapped his YouTube stardom in 2017, hanging up characters Filthy Frank and “the Pink Guy” to fully pursue music after becoming a GarageBand geek. To date, Joji’s 2022 album Smithereens has yielded several moody singles, including “Slow Dancing in the Dark,” “Die for You” and “Glimpse of Us.”

ENRIQUE IGLESIAS, RICKY MARTIN, PITBULL

A triple threat of Latin music royalty! Pitbull, Enrique Iglesias and Ricky Martin are teaming up to give a once-in-a-lifetime performance to fans across North America. The three multigenerational artists bring their fusion of sounds to the Amway Center, where each artist will perform a full set, providing the crowd with three entirely unique performances in one night. Iglesias has been particularly vocal in expressing his excitement for the tour, as he is touring and performing with two of his best friends, Amway Center, 400 W. Church St., amwaycenter. com, $56-$595.

TUESDAY, NOV. 14

BRUJERIA

Shadowy Mexican death-grind supergroup Brujeria might be the band to actually blow the windows out at newish venue Conduit. The long-running project recently celebrated the 30th anniversary of pulpy debut masterpiece Matando Gueros and has just released newest missive Esto Es Brujeria, reportedly — no snitching — featuring members of Carcass, Napalm Death and At the Gates. True to form, the band weave nightmarish tales of cartel violence and state corruption into absolutely unhinged grindcore excellence. Live, it’s up there with classic Revolting Cocks in terms of mayhem. Conduit, 6700 Aloma Ave., Winter Park, conduitfl.com, $25.

NOV. 18-19

P!NK

The American superstar whose career has lasted over two decades hits Orlando for a two-night stand, bringing the spunk and acrobatics of her Trustfall Tour to the Amway Center. Famous for raucous singles “Just Give Me a Reason,”“Get the Party Started” and “Raise Your Glass,” P!nk has found a new audience after going viral among TikTok users for her jaw-dropping vocal delivered while flying through the air and flipping over the crowd.

6LACK

For the first time in five years, 6LACK (pronounced “six lack”), hits the road in the U.S. and Europe, embarking on a 40-plus-show tour. The R&B musician celebrated his long-time-coming tour via Twitter, promising special guests at certain stops, and that includes Orlando. The tour comes after the release of his third album, Since I Have a Lover, and you can hear for yourself how good the new songs are at Hard Rock Live.

CONCERT PICKS THIS WEEK

Tow, Faae, Dean Batten: More than just another native lineup, this is a label showcase for Raised Eden Records. Started just this year, the new Orlando indie upstart has already built up a small stable of young area talent and is carving a niche for itself as a boutique label that spotlights singer-songwriters. This bill features the gossamer indie folk of Tow, the troubadour heart of Dean Batten and the atmospheric introspection of Faae, the duo of label bosses Vanessa Poulson and Jordan Morales. (7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 21, Stardust Video & Coffee, $10)

Fidlar, Bed Bug Guru: West Coast drug punks Fidlar have been all about Florida lately. This year, they released a cover of Tom Petty’s “Free Fallin’,” and their comeback EP features a song titled “FSU.” OK, so FSU stands for “fuck shit up” in the song but whatever. We’re definitely foremost in their minds right now, because Fidlar are about to launch an exclusively Floridian blitz aptly titled the “Floriduh Tour” that will see them hit six in-state cities in one whirlwind week.

Despite an attitude of utter disposability and nihilism, these punks have proven remarkably evergreen. It’s by pure virtue of infectious trash jams that cut through all the haze and daze with some perfect tunes and total animal revelry. After a four-year recording pause, Fidlar are back up to speed this year and uncorking fresh material, the latest being new single “Nudge,” which dropped just last week. Now, they’re using Florida as a launch ramp before they destroy Europe this fall.

LOCAL RELEASES

After making his solo debut in the thick of the pandemic with 2020 album Dystopian Heart, Orlando artist Okito finally returns with a follow-up. While he’s been making cameos on others’ music, like TzariZM’s bold comeback this year (O.T.H.E.R.), Okito’s own space is where he really shows not just his many feathers but his full wingspan.

Across the 10 tracks of the recently released Dystopian Heart Vol. 2, Okito flexes his polymath bona fides as songwriter, singer, rapper and producer. Like his division of labor, Okito isn’t constrained by the boxes of genre either, and Dystopian Heart Vol. 2 furthers his self-coined “breaks and blues” style. But despite the neat and tidy term, his sound has even more scope and dimension than that.

Okito’s solo calling card is R&B with hip-hop attitude. On the new album, though, his style blending is more seamless than before. It’s a merger of R&B hedonism, hip-hop kick and island flair that’s now more gestalt than fusion. Add in Okito’s playboy swag and you’ve got the

mark of a leading man here.

A finessed step forward, this album is a further solidification of one of the more distinctive figures to emerge from the Orlando hip-hop underground. Released on Okito’s own label Sky5, Dystopian Heart Vol. 2 now streams everywhere.

Fidlar are probably fated to be future burnouts. Until then, though, take the joy ride with these premier party punks because life’s a risk like that, innit dawg? Opening will be incredibly promising indie fuzz-rockers Bed Bug Guru from Gainesville. (6:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 22, The Social, $27.50)

Cardiel, The Hamiltons, Loose Touch, The Dark Arctic: Someone around here’s been making sacrifices to the right gods because this will be the second Orlando appearance this year by Mexico City band Cardiel. Their stoner’s brew of punk, psych, fuzz and dub is as exciting as it is original. And this time, they’ll be on a bigger stage and an even heavier local bill, rolling hard with punk brutes the Hamiltons and psych prog band the Dark Arctic.

But pay particular attention to Loose Touch, a new Orlando band of whom glimpses have been scarce but who are red-hot with promise. Loaded with top-flight players from bands like Acoqui, Summerbirds in the Cellar and Ad Nauseum, this all-star rock group are riff lords who lay it down thick and woolly. Their debut album has yet to be released but I’ve listened to it and it’s some of the best music out of Orlando this year. (8 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 23, Will’s Pub, $12)

THURSDAY, SEPT. 21 Next to Normal

Directed locally by Shonn McCloud, New Generation Theatrical brings to Orlando a re-conceptualized version of the powerful family drama and rock musical Next to Normal (one of this writer’s favorites), which chronicles one African American family’s journey with mental illness, loss and grief. (But we promise you’ll laugh, too.) While the original musical touches on the same themes, New Generation promises this take spotlights mental health stigmas in the Black community, as audience members become privy to the internal dynamics of a suburban family, featuring an overachieving teenage daughter plagued by perfectionism, a depressed son, a mom with bipolar disorder and delusional episodes, and a father who buries his own emotions in an e ort to keep the family together. With a small cast, the show is intimate and tackles di cult subjects, including death, suicide and drug misuse. But it’s also layered with a shock of dark humor (wry, not distasteful) that brings a sort of light to the gloom — while humanizing a family that comes to realize life can and should be more than getting through just another day. (Warning, this preview is littered with song references.) Over the course of the show, the family also comes to realize that while “normal” may feel like something far away, something “next to normal” can be OK, too. Runs through Oct. 1. Various times, The Abbey, 100 S. Eola Drive, newgentheatrical.org, $15-$40.

FRIDAY, SEPT. 22

Worm

For our money — but keep in mind we are broke journalists with no money — the most promising new Floridian metal act going at present is Worm. A blackened-doom project out of South Florida, what makes Worm so special is that they sonically conjure up the fetid, humid rot of Florida’s backwoods and swamps better than anyone since Obituary. Originally a solo endeavor, Worm head Phantom Slaughter has expanded the project into a full band for recording and live work, making their debut in NYC and Philadelphia earlier this year. This trio of Florida shows is their first in their home state. The band’s 2022 release on 20 Buck Spin, Bluenothing, saw them turn heads with a more ambitious sound, taking flight

of the

from the swamps into the airless depths of space. But now they’re back on Florida firma and if you want the soundtrack to Florida’s headlong descent into eco-oblivion and sociopolitical madness — look no further, you heathens. 7 p.m., Conduit, 6700 Aloma Ave., Winter Park, conduitfl.com, $20-$25. — Matthew Moyer

SEPT. 22-23

Bobby Callender

Psychedelic-soul enigma Bobby Callender returns to Orlando to perform the songs of another lost classic from his adventurous discography. Callender first came to Orlando last summer, holding court at the Timucua Arts Foundation like a glam Sun Ra for two sold-out nights to perform his criminally overlooked 1972 psychedelic masterpiece The Way. This was a one-o engagement, not repeated anywhere else in the country. Now Callender will be back at Timucua to mark the 55th anniversary of another musical gem, Rainbow. The performer-composer will be backed by a 10-piece psychedelic rock ensemble with sitar and tabla. Imagine David Axelrod with the vocal chops of Nina Simone. Be forewarned: This show will sell out. 7 p.m., Timucua Arts Foundation, 2000 S. Summerlin Ave., timucua.com, $30. — MM

SATURDAY, SEPT. 23

Lizard People Book Launch

Ready for a book that might make you uncomfortable? Should it ever be assigned in Florida’s K-12 public schools, Lizard People could be challenged on that basis, but it would take a parent both intelligent enough to unpick the allegory and closed-minded enough to support book-banning, so that’s unlikely. (Teachers, take note!) Ryan Rivas’ latest release is an icepick of a novella about identity, recovery and selfactualization — anyone who’s dipped a toe into the worlds of therapy or rehab, or anyone reeling in America’s (and most especially Florida’s) current maelstrom around race, needs this read. Rivas presents a portion of Lizard People at Zeppelin Books, followed by a conversation with Vidhu Aggarwal (The Trouble With Humpadori, SPECS). 6 p.m., Zeppelin Books, 885 N. Orange Ave., zeppelinbookstore.com, free. — Jessica Bryce Young

Karol G

Latin trap legend and past X Factor contestant Karol G is sure to give an X-factor-worthy performance on the big stage at Camping World Stadium this week. She is best known for her features with Bad Bunny and her own smash hit singles “TQG” and “QLONA,” but the Colombian singer’s newest album, Mañana, is the first female-led Latin album to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard charts since Selena’s posthumous Dreaming of You. With a record-breaking 56 million monthly listeners on Spotify, there’s no question about whether Karol G will get the downtown stadium shaking. 7 p.m., Camping World Stadium, 1 Citrus Bowl Place, campingworldstadium.com, SOLD OUT. — Grayson Keglovic

Lizard People Book Release Party at Zeppelin Books

BY ROB BREZSNY

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “These are the bad facts,” says author Fran Lebowitz: “Men have much easier lives than women. Men have the advantage. So do white people. So do rich people. So do beautiful people.” Do you agree, Virgo? I do. I’m not rich or beautiful, but I’m a white man, and I have received enormous advantages because of it. What about you? Now is a good time to tally any unearned blessings you have benefited from, give thanks for them, and atone by offering help to people who have obtained fewer favors. And if you have not received many advantages, the coming months will be an excellent time to ask for, and even demand, more.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): My favorite creativity teacher is author Roger von Oech. He produced the Creative Whack Pack, a card deck with prompts to stimulate imaginative thinking. I decided to draw one such card for your use in the coming weeks. It’s titled EXAGGERATE. Here’s its advice: “Imagine a joke so funny you can’t stop laughing for a month. Paper stronger than steel. An apple the size of a hotel. A jet engine quieter than a moth beating its wings. A home-cooked dinner for 25,000 people. Try exaggerating your idea. What if it were a thousand times bigger, louder, stronger, faster and brighter?”

(P.S. It’s a favorable time for you to entertain brainstorms and heartstorms and soulstorms. For best results, EXAGGERATE!)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): If you buy a bag of popcorn and cook it in your microwave oven, there are usually kernels at the bottom that fail to pop. As tasty as your snack is, you may still may feel cheated by the duds. I will be bold and predict that you won’t have to deal with such duds in the near future — not in your popcorn bags and not in any other area of your life, either literally or metaphorically. You’re due for a series of experiences that are complete and thorough and fully bloomed.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Writer George Bernard Shaw observed that new ideas and novel perspectives “often appear first as jokes and fancies, then as blasphemies and treason, then as questions open to discussion, and finally as established truths.” As you strive to get people to consider fresh approaches, Sagittarius, I advise you to skip the “blasphemies and treason” stage. If you proceed with compassion and good humor, you can go directly from “jokes and fancies” to “questions open to discussion.” But one way or another, please be a leader who initiates shifts in your favorite groups and organizations. Shake things up with panache and good humor.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Novelist and astrologer Forrest E. Fickling researched which signs are the worst and best in various activities. He discovered that Capricorns are the hardest workers, as well as the most efficient. They get a lot done, and they are expeditious about it. I suspect you will be at the peak of your ability to express these Capricornian strengths in the coming weeks. Here’s a bonus: You will also be at the height of your power to enjoy your work and be extra likely to produce good work. Take maximum advantage of this grace period!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The British band Oasis has sold over 95 million records. The first song they ever released was “Supersonic.” Guitarist Noel Gallagher wrote most of its music and lyrics in half an hour while the rest of the band was eating Chinese takeout food. I suspect you will have that kind of agile, succinct, matter-of-fact creativity in the coming days. If you are wise, you will channel it into dreaming up solutions for two of your current dilemmas. This is one time when life should be easer and more efficient than usual.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “When sex is really, really good,” writes Piscean novelist Geoff Nicholson, “I feel as though I’m disappearing, being pulverized, so that I’m nothing, just particles of debris, smog, soot and skin floating through the air.” Hmmmm. I guess that’s one version of wonderful sex. And if you want it, you can have it in abundance during the coming weeks. But I encourage you to explore other kinds of wonderful sex, as well — like the kind that makes you feel like a genius animal or a gorgeous storm or a superpowered deity.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): So it begins: the Building and Nurturing Togetherness phase of your astrological cycle. The next eight weeks will bring excellent opportunities to shed bad relationship habits and grow good new ones. Let’s get you in the mood with some suggestions from intimacy counselors Mary D. Esselman and Elizabeth Ash Vélez: “No matter how long you’ve been together or how well you think you know each other, you still need to romance your partner, especially in stability. Don’t run off and get an extreme makeover or buy into the red-roses-andchampagne bit. Instead, try being kind, receptive and respectful. Show your partner, often and in whatever tender, goofy way you both understand, that their heart is your home.”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): From May 2023 to May 2024, the planets Jupiter and Uranus

have been and will be in Taurus. I suspect that many Taurus revolutionaries will be born during this time. And yes, Tauruses can be revolutionaries. Here’s a list of some prominent rebel Bulls: Karl Marx, Malcolm X, activist Kathleen Cleaver, lesbian feminist author Adrienne Rich, Vietnamese leader Ho Chi Minh, artist Salvador Dali, playwright Lorraine Hansberry and dancer Martha Graham. All were wildly original innovators who left a bold mark on their cultures. May their examples inspire you to clarify and deepen the uniquely stirring impact you would like to make, Taurus.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Gemini writer Joe Hill believes the only fight that matters is “the struggle to take the world’s chaos and make it mean something.” I can think of many other fights that matter, too, but Hill’s choice is a good one that can be both interesting and rewarding. I especially recommend it to you in the coming weeks, Gemini. You are poised at a threshold that promises substantial breakthroughs in your ongoing wrangles with confusion, ambiguity and enigma. My blessings go with you as you wade into the evocative challenges.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Author Crescent Dragonwagon has written over 50 books, so we might conclude she has no problem expressing herself fully. But a character in one of her novels says the following: “I don’t know exactly what I mean by ‘hold something back,’ except that I do it. I don’t know what the ‘something’ is. It’s some part that’s a mystery, maybe even to me. I feel it may be my essence or what I am deep down under all the layers. But if I don’t know what it is, how can I give it or share it with someone even if I wanted to?” I bring these thoughts to your attention, Cancerian, because I believe the coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to overcome your own inclination to “hold something back.”

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In her book

Undercurrents: A Life Beneath the Surface, psychologist and author Martha Manning says she is more likely to experience epiphanies in “grocery stores and laundromats, rather than in the more traditional places of reverence and prayer.” She marvels that “it’s in the most ordinary aspects of life” that she is “offered glimpses of the extraordinary.” During these breakthrough moments, “the baseline about what is good and important in my life changes.” I suspect you will be in a similar groove during the coming weeks, Leo. Are you ready to find the sacred in the mundane? Are you willing to shed your expectations of how magic occurs so you will be receptive to it when it arrives unexpectedly?

“THE ITALIAN JOBS”

BY DAN SAVAGE

I’m reading you from Italy, and I could really use your advice. About four years ago, I started dating a girl who I’ve been living with for the past two months. Since I’ve known her, she has been suffering from periods of depression and anxiety, although I didn’t know it when we first started to date. She used to spend a lot of time in therapy and continues to take medication. It has been very tough for both of us, and I even ended up talking to a psychologist for a while.

I was immediately captivated by her sensitivity, her sweetness and the way she sees things. In many ways, she completes me. But soon after the beginning stages of our relationship, our connection lost its passionate side almost entirely, mainly due to the medication she’s taking but also because of her anxieties related to the fear of pain in her intimate areas. I’ve tried to accept this while encouraging her to see specialists who could alleviate her fears. I’ve also been encouraging her to resume her conversations with her psychologist, which she stopped about three months ago.

What should I do? I don’t want to break up with her. I care about her and believe that with time, things will get better, but right now there is a significant void in our relationship.

Vexed Over Intimate Decline

You’re not fucking, right?

I don’t know what else “our connection lost its passionate side” could possibly mean, so I’m gonna go with “not fucking.” And it sounds like the fucking stopped — it sounds like the passion was lost — pretty early in the relationship (“soon after the beginning stages”), which means you’ve been in a sexless relationship for three years and change.

Just in case you need to hear it from someone: There’s nothing wrong with wanting to have sex with your romantic partner, VOID, particularly if the relationship was sexual at the start. And while I don’t think it’s fair to head for the exits at the first sign of a physical or emotional challenge — it’s certainly not loving — we aren’t obligated to stay in relationships that don’t meet our reasonable emotional and physical needs. (There’s also a huge difference between abandoning someone after decades together and ending a relationship relatively early in life that isn’t meeting your needs.)

You said you don’t want to break up, but at the very least you need to consider breaking up. Because not only are you growing increasingly unhappy in this relationship, it doesn’t sound like your girlfriend is very happy. You’ve tried to help, and it hasn’t worked — but, hey, maybe something will click in another year or two and your girlfriend will start seeing her psychologist again and the specialists she needs to see. (I would recommend a pelvic floor specialist.) But what if things don’t get

better? What if this is it? Are you willing to stay in this relationship, as-is, for the rest of your life? Having a loving and supportive partner in our corner during a life crisis can make all the difference. But sometimes having a partner who refuses to leave us because we’re depressed or unemployed or on fire — sometimes knowing our partner would never abandon us in that condition — can perversely incentivize not seeking treatment or looking for work or stamping out the flames. Which is why a person in your position, VOID, a person with your values, eventually has to ask himself, “Is staying helping my partner or hurting my partner? Am I standing by them or am I enabling them?” Some other questions you need to ask yourself at this point: “Am I happy?” “Am I being cared for?” “If nothing changes, can I live like this — can I live with these unfilled voids — for the rest of my life?”

Once you’ve answered those questions — and answered them honestly — you’ll know what you need to do. Leaving will be extremely hard, if that’s what ultimately decide you need to do, but leaving someone doesn’t have to mean abandoning them. You can still be there for this amazing woman — not as a boyfriend, but as a close friend. Still supportive, still encouraging and still amazed.

I am a 29-year-old Italian man living in London. In April, I started dating a guy from here, one year older than me, who recently came out as gay after 13 years with a woman. I assumed from the beginning that it wasn’t going to work, as he understandably needed

to explore his sexuality. However, we dated for a couple of months and had a very strong bond. We talked every day, we saw each other whenever we could, we spent whole weekends together. It didn’t feel like a casual relationship. Anyway, after a couple of months, I brought up the “boyfriends” topic and he was very clear that didn’t want a “relationship,” even though he was loving his time with me.

So, I put up my defense shield and disappeared. That was a month ago, and we basically haven’t spoken since. However, a week ago, two of my friends told me that he hit on them. As in, there were two times when we were all hanging out together and he was very flirty with them. Even to the point that he apparently asked one of my friends for a blow job. I know we weren’t in an exclusive relationship, but what the fuck? Hitting on my friends? Go and do it with whoever you want, bro, but my friends? I feel like I completely misunderstood everything, that he didn’t give a fuck about me, that I am worthless. I’m in therapy and I know this is something I have to work on. But I just can’t get over it, I feel completely played and worthless. What do you think?

Completely Insensitive And Outrageous

Pull yourself together.

Unlike your ex-whatever-he-was, CIAO, you didn’t come out yesterday. You’re a nearly 30-year-old out gay man with a good group of friends around you — assuming none of friends blew this guy while you were in the other room — and you’re a having a meltdown because things didn’t work out with someone you dated for two months. It sucks when someone you wanted doesn’t want you back, and it sucks when someone turns out to be the kind of person who would hit on your friends. But it’s a very big jump from “This guy didn’t care

about me” to “I am utterly worthless.” Frankly, CIAO, that’s the kind of reaction I would expect from a guy who’d just come out, i.e., a guy with zero experience dating people he was actually attracted to — not from someone who’d been out and dating for years.

You can’t help but feel your feelings, and I’m not trying to shame you. It’s good you’re seeing someone — it’s good you’re getting help — because if this is your reaction after a two-month relationship with a baby gay ended badly, having someone to talk you through it is a good idea. You should also talk with your therapist about how you ghosted this guy because he wasn’t ready to tell you precisely what you wanted to hear and precisely when you wanted to hear it. Hitting on the friends of someone who has feelings for you is a shitty thing to do, but disappearing on people because they’re not ready to commit is also a pretty shitty thing to do. Maybe your therapist can help you see that.

Finally, it’s not unheard of for a gay man to introduce a new boyfriend to his friends — or a new casual fuck buddy to his friends — only to discover that his new boyfriend and/or fuck buddy has already slept with half of his friends. That’s not what happened in this case: This guy hasn’t been out long enough to have slept with half your friends already. You were casual sex partners, but keeping things casual isn’t a license to be inconsiderate. And it was incredibly inconsiderate of this guy to treat being introduced to your friends — usually a sign that a relationship is moving away from casual and toward something more serious — like a night at home scrolling through Grindr.
