Battleground Bithlo Plans for competing affordable-housing projects take center stage in County Commission race BY MON IVETTE COR D EI R O

n almost five-acre parcel in the rural area of Bithlo has become one of the most contentious issues between Orange County Commissioner Ted Edwards and the opponents trying to unseat him. Tim McKinney, executive vice president of a nonprofit called United Global Outreach, says he plans to announce this week that he’s entering the 2016 race for Edwards’ spot after the two men had a public disagreement regarding the site of the recently foreclosed Lansing Street Mobile Home Park in Bithlo. “I’ve never aspired to political office,” McKinney says. “I see with the current political system you can only advance serious initiatives for communities ignored and overlooked for far too long if your commissioner wants to advance it. It became apparent when we hit this wall that Ted’s got to go.” Bithlo, if you’ve only heard about it as a punch line, is an unincorporated area of east Orange County that sits on Highway 50. Since the town went bankrupt in 1929 and was later dissolved into the county by the state in 1977, the area has been neglected by local officials and the poverty level among its residents has spiraled. In 2009, McKinney and United Global Outreach decided to go door-to-door and ask Bithlovians what they needed most. Almost seven years later, United Global Outreach, University of Central Florida students and other colleges, Florida Hospital and other businesses – a total of 90 community partners – have transformed the community by opening a school and a medical clinic and bringing back Lynx bus service to the area. The town center, Transformation Village, is now home to a

K-11 private school called Orange County Academy, medical and social services, a playground, a church and a library. Soon, the area will also have aquaponics, a coffee shop, a community garden, a small athletic field, playgrounds, a salon, a boutique, a community center and the first model of a planned tiny-housing community called Dignity Village. McKinney says his partners wanted to install up to 43 two-story tiny homes, which would be slightly over 500 square feet and include a bathroom and a kitchen, on a foreclosed site they have been pushing the county to clean up for years. Rent for the houses would be 30 percent of a person’s income, and homeless people without income would not pay rent until they could get on their feet. Edwards seemed to be on board with the project until November, when McKinney saw one of his aides post on Facebook that Edwards and Habitat for Humanity of Greater Orlando were developing a joint housing initiative to build nine to 10 regular-sized homes on the same site where McKinney hoped to build Dignity Village. “We had a meeting days before talking about the small-home project, so it was a shocker to me,” McKinney says. “After I did a public records request, I saw he had been working with them for months. … There was no rational reason for him to treat community partners this way who are using private money.” McKinney shot back at Edwards in a column for the Orlando Sentinel in December, saying the commissioner was blocking the positive transformation of Bithlo. “After trying for five years and

sioner would not be available to comment for this story. Habitat for Humanity of Greater Orlando’s CEO and president Catherine Steck McManus says Orange County approached her predecessor years ago to talk about how the organization might build affordable housing in Bithlo. Potential homeowners have to meet three criteria: need, ability to pay and willingness to participate. Homeowners will purchase mortgages; pay utilities, maintenance expenses and taxes; attend 36 hours of homebuyer education; and with their families volunteer 300 to 500 hours of “sweat equity,” which includes helping the organization build a home and working at Habitat locations. Some homeowners complete the requirements in one year, but some may take up to two, McManus says. Before Habitat for Humanity can build anything, the county has to finish an environmental survey it is doing on the land. Trichloroethylene (TCE) is a chemical often used as a metal degreaser that has been linked to kidney cancer, liver cancer and other diseases. Beginning in 2003, the Florida Department of Health found TCE randomly in the wells of various Bithlo properties, says county spokeswoman Doreen Overstreet. County water

exhausting every avenue I know — from gentle suggestions to aggressive prodding — I cannot get Orange County Commissioner Ted Edwards to buy into the might and momentum of the Bithlo Transformation Effort,” McKinney writes. “He will not help.” Edwards responded in the Sentinel in January, slamming McKinney and Florida Hospital for not supporting the Habitat for Humanity project and because the tiny homes do not meet “environmental regulations or land-use and density regulations for a rural settlement; nor does it address an identifiable homeless problem in Bithlo.” “Notwithstanding McKinney’s continuous efforts to portray Bithlo as a desperate and neglected community, Bithlo is a proud, hard-working, rural community,” Edwards wrote. “Orange County has invested more in Bithlo than almost any other community in our county. … Despite McKinney’s criticism of me for not supporting his unconventional homeless village that he designed without authority for county lands, hopefully his organization will support Orange County’s efforts to provide affordable housing to existing Bithlo families.” An aide for Edwards says the commis-

“There are Third World conditions down Route 50. ” and sewer lines do not go out to Bithlo, so residents have been using private wells. In 2012, the county sampled 240 of those drinking-water wells and got similar results as the Department of Health. Low levels of TCE were found at one parcel of the foreclosed site in 2003 and on a property nearby. “The level of TCE that was found was deemed to be below drinking-water standards, which means the Environmental Protection Agency considers it safe to drink,” Overstreet says. “If levels exceed the standard, action must be taken.” Overstreet adds that Bithlo’s contamination is probably from nearby car junkyards, landfills, recycling and dumping operations, and a Circle K gas station that reported multiple discharges of petroleum in the 1980s. If TCE is found, the county can take steps to remediate it, and it could potentially declare the site a brownfield, which is a property that has the perception of contamination and could result in tax breaks for the owner, Overstreet says. Lori Cuniff, deputy director of Community, Environmental and Development Services for the county, says she spoke with Jim Coffey, a Bithlo resident who told her his first well, built 18 feet underground, exceeded the TCE standard for drinking water. Later, he dug a deeper well that went to 65 feet and didn’t hit contamination. Cuniff says the results of the environmental study should be back at the end of March. McManus says her organization would not construct homes on the land if it were too contaminated to build. “We have the greatest respect for the county, but they need to do due diligence to make sure property is buildable,” she 12

says. “If the tests come back showing some kind of contamination, there are some mitigation efforts that can be done.” The only other candidate currently registered to run in District 5, Gregory Eisenberg, has critiqued Edwards frequently over Bithlo’s situation. “What did 13 years of Ted Edwards get Bithlo?” Eisenberg asks in a campaign video. “No public-water access leaving residents with metal-filled drinking water and unclean bath water, a 30-year-old, 7-acre illegal dump called Mount Trashmore polluting the area, and a lack of local health care and education options.” Eisenberg says there’s distrust between government officials and residents because residents don’t want to be pushed out by development. Bithlovians should be allowed to live the rural lifestyle they want, but the area desperately needs water access and better infrastructure. “There’s a younger generation wondering how is this happening two miles away from where I’m getting a substantial education at UCF,” he says. “There are Third World conditions down Route 50.” McKinney says that while Dignity Village is not a homeless shelter, there are homeless people living in the woods of Bithlo in tents who desperately need affordable housing, whether it’s from the county or with his organization. “I can’t imagine a scenario where an 8-acre illegal dump would sit for 24 years in Winter Park or College Park,” he says. “But it still sits there today, even though an Orange County mayor said it was an imminent concern to public health. … The people here are thirsty for someone who’s going to stand up and address their issues.” mcordeiro@orlandoweekly.com

Down in the hole Devil’s Millhopper Geological State Park is a worthy day trip BY L IZ LA N GLEY

PHOTO BY LIZ LANGLEY

any years ago on a trip out west I looked out the window of the plane and noticed the ground looked ... wrong. It was lumpy and wavy, the way tousled hair might look if you were a louse looking down on an expanse of tresses. “Weird,” I said. “Those are mountains,” my seatmate told me. I had been in Florida for too long. That phrase is going on my tombstone, followed by “Going to Hell to cool off.” It’s February here now, and already the thermometer is audaciously darting into the 80s, but if you want to take a nice little outdoor road trip before it gets even warmer, this would be the right time to check out the Devil’s Millhopper Geological State Park in Gainesville. This state park with the badass name makes a perfect little get-out-of-O-Town excursion, a cool outdoor day visiting a National Natural Landmark that has drawn curiosity-seekers for the past 130 years, according to state park literature. The geological formation is actually a sinkhole, thought to be 20,000 years old and 120 feet (36.5 meters) deep. Think of the height of a 13-story building, but going the other way. The name comes from the funnel shape of the sink, like a hopper used to funnel grain into a gristmill; the bones and teeth found in the sink (fossilized remains from prehistoric creatures) prompted the idea that the funnel “fed bodies to the devil,” says a park brochure. Wicked. A sinkhole is a natural collapse of surface land, something known to swallow both Porsches (which actually happened when a sinkhole opened up in Winter Park in 1981) and people (a Tampa man, Jeff Bush, was swallowed up by one in 2013; it reopened two years later). Knowing that, it

might not sound like the brightest idea to wander down into one, but according to a map in the 2007-2008 Florida Almanac the areas of Florida with the worst history of sinkhole collapse include “much of Orange County.” As Ted said to Bill, “That’s us, dude!” So it would seem you’re probably at as much risk here as you would be anywhere. When I first heard about this place I was nervous about walking deep into what I imagined would be a barren, forbidding blankness, but the Devil’s Millhopper is lush, verdant and teeming with life. A short trail that circles the park has a markedly different landscape, like walking through sandy woods, and then when you descend into the sink – on a nice civilized wooden staircase – it gets greener with every step. The massive sun-dappled ferns, rocky passages and pale green duckweed covering on the water in the bottom of the bowl make it feel so ancient you can’t help but wonder what kind of prehistoric animals have lived here across the centuries; indeed, the sink is famous for yielding those sharks’ teeth and other marine fossils that speak of our state’s underwater past. And at the very bottom, flowing into the pool, is something I never thought I’d see in Florida: a waterfall. No kidding, a waterfall, and the tranquilizing peace that goes with the sight and sound of such a thing. It’s just too heavenly for something named for the devil. The climb down is 110 percent worth the climb back up. So we may not have mountains, or even what people from textured places consider hills, but dammit, Florida is not entirely flat. It just depends on where you go and whether you look up. feedback@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

orgot to reserve a table for two at your sweetheart’s dream dining destination? No sweat. You can still impress your main squeeze with delicious dishes and awesome ambience without weeks of planning. Here are 15 spots that are special enough for Valentine’s Day, but don’t require advance notice.

Pizzeria Del-Dio

The sweetly shaped pies from Pizzeria Del-Dio on East Colonial Drive are actually available year-round, but we can’t think of a better time to order one than V-Day. The place only has a couple of tables, so snag one if you can (pizza is always better straight out of the oven), or take it home for a little Netflix and chill.

Julie’s Waterfront

The Holden Heights restaurant has long been a casual mainstay for couples looking for a low-key way to spend a sunset. The deck overlooks Lake Jennie Jewel, and reservations aren’t required to score a waterfront table and a “Land and Sea” combo. CONTINUED ON PAGE 19

And so should you, since the highway honey is offering a special T-bone steak to commemorate the day (select locations only – the Hillsborough Avenue location in Tampa is your only somewhat local option, though breakfast-for-dinner is offered everywhere), plus white tablecloths, candlelight and entertainment. Bonus points for wearing matching limited-edition “I Love You a Waffle Lot” T-shirts available from the Waffle House online store.

The Greek Corner

If the strings of market lights and views of Lake Ivanhoe aren’t enough, perhaps sharing a big mezze platter full of lamb, gyro, chicken and taramosalata, plus a couple of ouzo shots, will transport you to that Mediterranean paradise. If you’re left feeling frisky, try your luck at the new Better Than Sex dessert restaurant down the street, or take something to-go for fun at home (wink wink).

Valentine’s Day is on a Sunday this year, which means one thing: brunch. Traditionally, dinner has been the meal for lovebirds, but it’s a good bet mid-morning will be significantly less crowded. Head to the grill and griddle house at DeLeon Springs for DIY pancakes (go heavy on the chocolate chips), and then rent a canoe or kayak for a romantic ride downstream to spy on manatees. feedback@orlandoweekly.com

Mere months after hiring and then abruptly axing interim executive director Jim Cundiff (their sixth leader in six years), the Orlando Ballet has brought in the big guns to help it pirouette its fortunes. Michael M. Kaiser, chairman of the DeVos Institute of Arts Management at the University of Maryland and past president of Washington, D.C.’s Kennedy Center, will serve as a “turnaround expert” to get the Ballet back on track. By now, nearly every member of the organization except artistic director Robert Hill, whose Firebird premiered at the Dr. Phillips Center last weekend, has been replaced in recent years; here’s hoping they ﬁnally stick the landing on this latest leap.

Bach to the future Bach Festival Society of Winter Park presents their 81st celebration of the Baroque master BY JUSTIN BRAUN 81ST ANNUAL BACH FESTIVAL various times, Feb. 10-28 | Rollins College, 1000 Holt Ave., Winter Park | 407-646-2182 | bachfestivalflorida.org | various ticket prices

BACH FESTIVAL PHOTOS BY KAREN LESLIE

lassical music makes a comeback this February when the Bach Festival Society of Winter Park celebrates its 81st annual festival. Nearly 331 years after the birth of the festival’s namesake, Johann Sebastian Bach, the historic Central Florida choir and orchestra presents a jam-packed series of large-scale symphonic productions, as well as intimate performances and free public master classes given by visiting soloists and small chamber ensembles. Under the baton of artistic director and conductor John V. Sinclair, who also chairs the Rollins College music department, the festival is something of a hidden gem among the crown jewels of the greater Orlando art scene. Yet its global reputation and long history of masterful musical expression make it an annual must-hear occasion for patrons. “Those familiar with us can expect great works, including the rarely performed

iconic Beethoven ‘Triple Concerto,’ performed by one of the most celebrated piano trios of our time,” says Zac Alfson, patron engagement manager for the festival, on behalf of Sinclair. Sinclair kicks off the festival today by introducing the audience to the season in a public conversation at the Alfond Inn. Joined by Rollins College music professor Daniel Crozier, the two discuss the historic and academic context of the music over afternoon tea and scones. Of special note this season, Alfson says, is the Concertos by Candlelight series. Soloists perform multiple times throughout the festival, allowing patrons to hear them in different settings playing different types of music. “New patrons will be immersed in sublime music in visually and acoustically beautiful spaces,” he says. “We are working to bring our audiences closer to the music.” Interested guests also have the opportunity to learn firsthand from visiting artists during several free and open master classes held in Rollins College’s Tiedtke Concert Hall and scheduled throughout the festival. The Kalichstein-Laredo-Robinson Trio (Feb. 18) and vocalists Richard Zeller (Feb.

23) and Laura Pudwell (Feb. 25) will share insight into their career and craft. On Feb. 12 in the Knowles Memorial Chapel, organist Ken Cowan performs a solo recital featuring contemporary and classical works. Violinist Jaime Laredo and cellist Sharon Robinson share the Tiedtke stage together on Feb. 21. Tours of the Cornell Fine Arts Museum at Rollins College and of the contemporary art collection at the Alfond Inn are also planned, adding a touch of visual interest to the mix. Alfson says the support for this year’s festival is rolling in. Tickets for Bach’s “St. Matthew Passion” (Feb. 28) are already sold out, and he says not many seats remain for Rossini’s “Stabat Mater” (Feb. 27). But something even those not musically inclined can enjoy is Cask & Larder’s release of a limited-edition beer, Brandenburger Bock. The restaurant’s brewmasters tap the keg starting at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 13, for Bach & Beer, a free event celebrating the composer’s love of beer and the fact that he was once paid in beer. For box office information and the full festival calendar, call 407-646-2182 or visit bachfestivalflorida.org. arts@orlandoweekly.com

You don’t usually think of Amway Center as a venue for local artists, but two recent exceptions prove the rule. During Barry Manilow’s farewell tour stop in Orlando on Feb. 2, 35 members of Central Florida Community Arts’ choir were invited to act as backup singers on classics like “Copacabana.” And on Feb. 28, Logan Anderson hosts “Pure Magic,” a slam poetry preshow before the Magic-76ers game. The event is a fundraiser for Growth From Grief mental health services; email egiangregorio@orlandomagic.com by Feb. 12 to buy discount tickets for both the slam and the basketball game.

Looking ahead to early next month, Winter Garden’s Garden Theatre holds its annual gala weekend March 4-6. The theater (which is currently presenting the regional premiere of Hands on a Hardbody through Feb. 21) will play host to musician John Charles, off-Broadway a cappella stars Vox Audio and Grammy-nominated actress Maureen McGovern. Tickets range from $45 to $200 (including red carpet reception and outdoor after-party) with proceeds supporting the nonproﬁt venue.

Naked Boys Singing is a boozy, bawdy evening of ogling buff boys with their balls swinging in the breeze We live in a world of lies, bombarded daily by half-truths, obfuscations and outright falsehoods from promoters and politicians. So let’s get erect and give a standing ovation to Naked Boys Singing for earning the “truth in advertising” award. This spirited musical revue may not have any dialogue, characters or plot, but it’s got more exposed penises than a half-dozen productions of Equus. Which just goes to show how far our city has evolved: Back in 2000, a lone Naked Guy at the Orlando Fringe faced threats of arrest, but in 2016 seven nude dudes can strut on the Footlight stage for five weekends and no one blinks an eye. A long-running hit in New York, NBS comes to Orlando courtesy of producerdirector Tim Evanicki, who recently took the reins of the Parliament House’s Footlight Theatre. Under former artistic directors Michael Wanzie and David Lee, Footlight hosted not only PH’s popular drag shows, but legit dramas and comedies that drew audiences of every orientation. That leaves Evanicki some big shoes to fill in his new role, as he graciously acknowledged at the packed press preview. “I am loving this job,” Evanicki told me in an interview after opening night. “Parliament House is an LGBT resort that caters to everyone. I’d like the programming in the theater to reflect that. We will be bringing in more book musicals and big names that appeal to all walks of life.” Evanicki first saw Naked Boys Singing

at NYC’s Actors Playhouse in 2004 and made it his top priority upon becoming PH’s new artistic director. “I wanted to make sure we kicked it off with something that would put the Footlight Theatre on the map,” he said. “I also wanted to pick a show that would cater to and attract more than just the LGBT community.” Of course, assembling a show where the cast is unclothed nearly the entire time required some adjustments. “Singing auditions were fully clothed, but the dance callback was done nude,” Evanicki recalled. “It was funny, because we have union performers, and the union required us to have a monitor from Actors’ Equity audit the audition process. Poor Doug Truelsen.” The early rehearsals were done dressed, but drawers were dropped once Pete Simpson’s choreography – which puts a floppy twist on the classic chorus kickline – was complete. “I left it up to the boys as to when they felt comfortable rehearsing nude,” said Evanicki. “We had 12 total rehearsals, and they were nude on day seven.” It’s one thing to hoot and holler at a stage of stripped strangers, but I found the show a tad awkward to watch (at least at first) because I know some of the cast. For example, I’ve been friends with Joshua Roth since we worked on Tod Kimbro’s 2011 Fringe musical Suckers, but I’ve never seen him as exposed as during his “Perky Little Porn Star” number. “There is nothing that truly prepares you for 90 minutes of nudity; you kind of just have to jump into the deep end headfirst and with a smile on your face,” Roth told me. A theme-park performer by day, Roth’s NBS role has let him “step way out of my comfort zone, as well as become more comfortable with myself,

my peers and also complete strangers.” Of course, you can’t do a nude musical without some unintended side effects: “I have been working a lot with aerial silks lately, and I have a pretty bad bruise on my upper left thigh … pretty much my groin area. I pulled Pete (our choreographer) into the dressing room, and without even thinking about it pulled down my pants and showed him the bruise. It wasn’t even until about five minutes after he left the dressing room that he realized that I had just whipped it all out for him and he didn’t even notice or care … and neither did I.” So after all that, how is the show? As I said above, if you are interested in story or deep meaning, better move along: There’s a nod to nakedness as a metaphor for emotional vulnerability and a maudlin song about a dead lover, but otherwise the mood is kept light and campy. The performers are all solid (ahem), especially Kevin Kelly, who wears Liza well in the Fosse-flavored “Entertainer,” but the majority of the music is simply unmemorable. With a baker’s dozen of credited writers (including Bruce Vilanch), it’s a clear case of too many cooks muddling the man-chowder, and musical director John T. Gardner’s keyboard often drowned out the unamplified singers. As a hetero male, I didn’t identify with some of the topics (like gym addiction), though it appears sung schlong synonyms make everyone’s inner 12-year-old snicker, gay or straight. But if a boozy, bawdy evening of ogling buff boys with their balls swinging in the breeze sounds like ideal entertainment, better buy your seats now; Naked Boys Singing looks to be the hardest ticket of this theater season. skubersky@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

Austin Boyd (Seito Sushi), Greg Richie (Baoery Asian Gastropub) and Chau Trinh (Sushi Pop) get into a noodle throwdown in TastyChomps’ Ramen Rumble at 6 p.m. Monday, March 7. Paying guests will sample a tasting bowl of ramen from each chef, a draft beer and dessert. Cost is $30, with proceeds going to the winning chef’s choice of charity. Cask & Larder and the Bach Festival Society of Winter Park collaborate again on a limited edition beer release: The 2016 Brandenburger Bock debuts during a party at Cask & Larder from 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 13, with a bratwurst grill station (cash only) outside and a special German-themed menu inside the restaurant and bar. The trio behind Kappo will open a Japanese convenience store in the East End Market next month, but they’ll also open a 15-seat restaurant in a new space somewhere in Audubon Park or Mills 50 later this year.

Raging bull Classic and contemporary Spanish fare packs a wallop at Tapa Toro BY FAIYAZ KARA TAPA TORO 8441 International Drive | 407-226-2929 | tapatoro.restaurant | $$$

PHOTOS BY ROB BARTLETT

hen word came that Taverna Opa owners Katerina and Vassilis Coumbaros were going to open a Spanish restaurant in the I-Drive 360 complex, the name, according to a press release, was to be Toca Boca (“touch the mouth” in Spanish). But “Toca Boca,” as it turned out, was a name used by an international gaming company, which just so happened to be owned by the Bonnier Group (whose offices take up a good chunk of real estate in Winter Park Village). So the husband-andwife duo opted to change the name to Tora Bora – excuse me – Tapa Toro and, insofar as a name can reap dividends for a restaurant, the gamble appears to have paid off. There’s certainly no doubt as to the eye-candy appeal of this 5,000-squarefoot space. For those seated at the 12-seat paella bar, a glance into the main dining room might seem like peering into a dark forest and seeing the luminescent glow of deer eyes. The dimly lit space necessitates launching one’s flashlight app in order to read menu descriptions in small font, but when the words come into focus, it’s a feast for the eyes.

Seeing was believing when spectacular pulpo ($15) poached in herbs and wine, marinated in paprika and garlic, and expertly charred on a plancha, was placed before us, then duly devoured. In a further nod to the Galician preparation, red potatoes (as well as grapes) were served alongside the octopus. Really, apart from limp and soggy (and very garlicky) roasted cauliflower ($9), everything we sampled – from vinegary gazpacho ($6) with croutons of Galician barra, to arugula-topped pan rustico with a spread of Medjool dates, goat cheese and preserved lemon curd ($12) – was a “terrifying and edible beauty,” to hijack a phrase from Salvador Dalí. If you’ll forgive the hyperbole, the same went for plush and lovely tenderloins of beef grotesquely impaled on skewers. But what of the paella? The 40-minute prep time quoted by all the servers is often much shorter, making it well worth ordering. Our server, also given to hyperbole, declared the chicken, chorizo and lamb chop paella ($42) “changed my life,” and if it weren’t for the lack of crusty socarrat, it might have changed ours. Still, this was some utterly brilliant paella, and it reheated well the following day (and the day after that). While our server was delightful, service needs work. One of the guests in our party

was never presented a menu, and on two occasions, servers brought other people’s dishes to our table. Given the smallish size of the water glasses, they should just leave a bottle of Florida’s finest on every table rather than run the risk of leaving them unfilled (which was often). I should also state that nearly a half-hour passed before we got our desserts, so it’s good thing there were plenty of distractions – namely, the gyrating flamenco dancers – to make the wait bearable. Speaking of dessert, there wasn’t a bad thing to say about the chocolate sponge cake ($13) or the flan ($9) other than the price. On the libationary front, the lack of Spanish beers and sherries was disappointing. As we left the packed restaurant, a selfish part of me thought what a pity it was that decent food like this was being wasted on all these bloody tourists. But as much as we locals might want vacationers to be left with the short end of the stick, we need independent outfits like Tapa Toro representing the city’s culinary interests to the outside world. Unlike other restaurants in the area, Tapa Toro doesn’t dish out a load of bull.

We reported back in November that the Winter Park Distilling Company and Bear & Peacock Brewery would open a first-of-its-kind-in-Florida “brewstillery” on North Orange Avenue in Winter Park. You can add Create Your Nature, the first açai cafe and oatmeal bar in the city, as well as Foxtail, a coffee shop, to the list of tenants moving into the former State Auto Body space. Winter Park Distilling and Bear & Peacock expect to open in April. OPENINGS Black Rooster Taqueria is open to the general public at last … Swine & Sons is now taking online orders … F&D Cantina, a “food-centric Mexican gastropub,” will open next month in Waterford Lakes … After delays in the planning phase, Amarena Old Fashioned Gelato is slated to open in the Oviedo Mall May 1. CLOSINGS Chamberlin’s is closing in Winter Park Village and moving to the Herndon Village Shoppes on East Colonial Drive, near Fashion Square Mall. Look for a spring opening … Lido’s Italian Restaurant on South Orange Avenue in Downtown South will close this April … Fulton’s Crab House in Disney Springs will also close in April for a six-month renovation. According to a Disney rep, the “Fulton’s” name might be changing. Got restaurant dish? Send tips to dining@orlandweekly.com

The space is modern, clean and comfortable, and every time we’ve visited, it has been pleasantly crowded without being so packed we can’t ﬁnd a seat. The air has that malty brewery smell, and there’s always a solid selection of beers brewed on premises, ranging from crisp golden ales to hoppy pale ales and dense stouts. And for your friends who don’t really like beer, there are a few wines available from local winery Quantum Leap, located right around the corner. Cheers.

Umi Winter Park

Umi’s sushi and small plates impress in both presentation and palatability. Purists will appreciate their stellar sashimi and robata offerings, while contemporary diners will get a kick out of their takes on “Japanese fusion.” A nice selection of sakes, soju cocktails and Japanese beers ensure imbibers leave content. Servers are eager and knowledgable. Open daily. 525 S. Park Ave., Winter Park, 407-960-3993; $$

Kokino

Trendy tapas joint hopes to draw a late-night Dr. Phillips crowd to its stylish confines. Oysters in the seafood canoe were remarkably fresh; small plates like lamb pops rolled in sofrito and plantains please, as does grilled asparagus topped with bresaola, smoked peanuts, grana padano and a poached egg. Be wary of greasy ribeye plancha, though a lavender olive oil cake makes a delightfully light ending. Dinner only, plus Sunday brunch. 7705 Turkey Lake Road, 407-270-9199; $$$

North Quarter Tavern

This sister restaurant to Citrus brings a relaxed attitude, good service and a foodfocused ethic to downtown’s North Quarter district. Chef Matt Wall is all about tickertesting comfort fare – sampling his poutine with duck gravy or crackling fried chicken may conjure images of Barney Clark. An in-house charcuterie program has yielded some promising results. More dessert options are needed, though. Brunch is offered Sundays. 861 N. Orange Ave., 407-757-0930; $$

Seito Sushi

Baldwin Park sushi joint appears refreshed and revitalized, and their dishes ever more Japanese. A weekend-only izakaya menu is worth a look. Ramen (try the shoyu) really impresses, as does the moriawase (chef’s selection) of sashimi. A roll fashioned from lobster, American wagyu and truffle aioli will cater to the bon vivant in you. A requisite selection of craft cocktails and a decent selection of sake, wine and beer keep guests slaked. 4898 New Broad St., 407-898-8801; $$$

Slate

It’s a “see and be seen” kind of place, but chef Dominic Rice serves up seasonal dishes that, for the most part, are competently executed. Oak-fired pizzas are worth a look, as is the gnocchi with short rib Bolognese. A heavy-handed spice rub marred delicate tilefish, but succulent flatiron steak served with crisp green beans, marble potatoes and smoked butter was nice, and sticky toffee pudding makes for a saucy ending. 8323 Sand Lake Road, 407-500-7528; $$$

Bavaro’s Pizza Napoletana & Pastaria

Not your average pizza and pasta joint, this Winter Springs hotspot draws them in for Neapolitan-style pies and house-made, hand-cut tagliatelle and ravioli. The star is the Neapolitan-made brick oven, which churns out perfectly blistered pizzas, be it your basic margherita or the weighted and eggy carciofi con uovo. A stellar Bolognese sauce highlights the tagliatelle; to end without sampling either the cannoli or tiramisu would be a mistake. 1468 Tuskawilla Road, Winter Springs, 321-422-3600; $$$

Mark’s Caribbean Cuisine

UCF-area jerk joint isn’t in the tidiest of strip malls, but the Jamaican fare is neato. Yes, the jerk chicken is top-notch, but the supremely tender oxtail stew is what regulars come back for. Plush cuts of goat in a heady curry are perfectly gratifying, as is traditional ackee and saltfish. Servers are friendly, but don’t expect to be wowed by the decor. 10034 University Blvd., 407-699-8800; $

Korea House

The Colonial Drive outpost of Korea House is just as meat-centric as its Longwood counterpart. All-you-can-eat Korean barbecue is the clear choice for most patrons – given the quality of meat and the relatively low AYCE price, it’s easy to see why. Not up for barbecue? Stir-fries and soups, like mandu-guk with dumplings and rice cake in beef broth, will make happy fun dance in your tummy. 4501 Colonial Drive, 407-896-5994; $$

Two Chefs Seafood Oyster Bar

Don’t let the casual decor fool you – there’s some worthy NOLA-inspired fare to be had here in this new North Quarter eatery. The deep experience of the chefs clearly shows in plates of fried chicken, baked oysters and roasted duck hash. Do yourself a favor: Do not fail to order a side of stellar charred okra, then reward yourself with superlative endings of banana bread pudding and praline cheesecake. 743 N. Magnolia Ave., 407-270-4740; $$

Where to Invade Next is provocative, powerful BY CAMERON MEIE R

Where to Invade Next

★★★★★

hat words come to mind when you think of a travelogue? Insightful, infuriating, hilarious, terrifying, provocative, offensive, inspirational? If those weren’t the terms you were contemplating, you’ve never seen a Michael Moore travelogue. Where to Invade Next, Moore’s first film since Capitalism: A Love Story, in 2009, features the writer-director traveling Europe (with one stop in Africa) to show Americans all the things other countries are doing better. “We have problems no army can solve,” Moore says, before embarking on his foreign “invasion,” during which he plants the American flag and “steals” the best ideas he can find. In Italy, those ideas are paid vacations for every working citizen, two-hour lunches and strong unions. In France, they are delicious (and healthy) school meals and sensible sex education that results in fewer teen pregnancies. In Finland, they are the world’s best education system and a counter-intuitive approach of shorter school days and practically no homework. Next up are Slovenia, Germany, Portugal, Norway, Tunisia and Iceland, until Moore has stolen enough ideas to return with his booty, without a single drop of blood shed. (Won’t the U.S. military be jealous?) In his previous best documentaries – Bowling for Columbine, Roger and Me and Fahrenheit 9/11 – Moore focused on a single topic and accompanied his impassioned commentary with (mostly) responsible

journalism. Where to Invade Next is more of a catch-all analysis of American social and economic problems, seen through the eyes of foreigners. The idea of letting nonAmericans show us what they do better than the United States will surely enrage many American conservatives and strong proponents of American exceptionalism. In addition, Moore’s meandering structure, occasionally shabby journalism and factual cherry-picking will make even some liberals cringe. For instance, he implies that the United States’ middle class is completely dead and that our educational system ranks 29th in the world. The first claim is obviously hyperbole, but the educational rank is slightly misleading. (We’re closer to 20th if you average various studies, and that does not factor in our higher education, which is at or close to the top of rankings.) Despite questionable facts and occasionally outrageous logic, particularly on the issue of race, Moore is still able to shock, entertain, sadden and inspire us while also making a stunning – and surprisingly positive – plea for change. By showing us how others see the United States, he allows us to understand our own faults. And by reminding us of the enormous improvements that other countries have seen, he makes us realize that radical change – free college, guaranteed maternity leave, gender equality and prison reform – isn’t impossible. And, ironically, Moore proves that one doesn’t need to travel the world in search of solutions after all. The change we need is inside us, buried within our own Constitution and our American values. And what if a seemingly immovable object blocks your way, like the Berlin Wall did for Germans? Moore: “You just take a hammer and knock it down.” feedback@orlandoweekly.com

OPENING THIS WEEK Deadpool Nobody was particularly happy with the way Marvel’s “merc with a mouth” was depicted in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, but 20th Century Fox is still giving him a shot at his very own feature – and with Ryan Reynolds back in the role, no less. Wow, imagine if Ben Affleck had gotten another crack at Daredevil instead of failing upward into Batman (and after Reynolds helped screw up Green Lantern, to boot). An Rrated feature about a fourth-wall-busting antihero is enough of a risk as it is, but there are already signs that Deadpool could be a decent-sized hit. For one thing, some of my more whacked-out friends have declared it their date movie for Valentine’s Day. (R) How to Be Single And just in time for Valentine’s Day, here’s the story of a naive paralegal whose obese friend indoctrinates her into the world of big-city promiscuity. Thanks, producer Drew Barrymore! Your homespun values are always a rock. Survival Tip No. 1: If you squint your eyes just right, you can almost convince yourself that Rebel Wilson is Aidy Bryant. (R) Zoolander 2 As strange as it seems in retrospect, the release of the first Zoolander was the subject of considerable controversy: The studio was genuinely concerned that audiences might not be ready for a wide-release comedy so soon after Sept. 11, 2001. A comfortable 14 and a half years later, a sequel is finally ready for release ... just in time to remind us that David Bowie was in the original. Ladies and gentlemen, America’s feel-good franchise! In this second installment, Derek and Hansel have to thwart a conspiracy to murder the world’s most beautiful people. Just think for a second: If you feel perfectly safe heading to the theater, what does that say about your self-image? (PG-13)

ritish playwright Alan Bennett met Mary Shepherd when the elderly, homeless woman parked her dilapidated van outside his suburban London home in 1970. Almost 20 years later, the mysterious curmudgeon was still there and the two had formed an unlikely friendship, fostered by Bennett’s kindness and Shepherd’s stubborn refusal to seek shelter elsewhere. But, as many good writers do, Bennett used the unusual relationship as inspiration for his 1989 book, The Lady in the Van, which he turned into a play 10 years later. And, like the new movie version, the theatrical production starred Maggie Smith and was directed by Nicholas Hytner, the former artistic director of London’s National Theatre (whom movie audiences will know as the helmer of The Madness of King George). “I’m not a beggar. I’m self-employed,” Mary (Maggie Smith) tells the residents of the neighborhood in which she parks her van. “I’m a sick woman, dying possibly. I’m just looking for a last resting place.” Surprisingly, she lives nearly two more decades, becoming increasingly reliant on Bennett for a cool friendship and use of his lavatory. Yet, in a way only Smith can convey, Shepherd maintains not just a stubborn pride but a “vagabond nobility.” She also clings to her privacy, and, indeed, Bennett discovers her true story and identity only at the end of the film.

Like its title character, The Lady in the Van is an odd duck, disguising itself as an inconsequential and quirky comedy for the first hour. Annoyingly overscored and chronologically confusing – with little suggestion of the passage of time – it lacks impact and relies too much on forgettable, though charming, moments of subtle humor. Characters come and go with little purpose except to provide cameos for Frances de la Tour and other cast members of Bennett’s play, The History Boys, which also became a film directed by Hytner. Jim Broadbent, as a mysterious acquaintance of Shepherd, is a nice addition, as always, but he’s mostly wasted, as is Roger Allam as Bennett’s neighbor. The film belongs almost entirely to Smith, who, though superb, never steps too far out of her comfort zone. Nevertheless, she portrays the increasingly frail and bewildered Shepherd effectively, illustrating that “in life, going downhill is an uphill job,” as the film tells us. So charismatic is Smith that Alex Jennings, as Bennett, is relegated to the background even though the story is mostly about him. He provides the narration and the structure, in addition to some memorable, if slightly contrived, metatheatricality that suggests – both metaphorically and literally – that there are two Bennetts. “The writer is double,” he says. “There is the self who does the writing. And there is the self who does the living. And they talk. They argue.” The gimmick doesn’t always work, but it does give the film an air of intellectualism while keeping things stylistically interesting, until the superb conclusion finally brings everything into an emotionally satisfying and aesthetically pleasing focus. Yes, Van does experience bumps in the road, but it finds its way in the end. feedback@orlandoweekly.com

n the old days, package tours were the exclusive purview of washed-up rock stars and semi-retired silver-fox crooners. Lately, they’ve served as reliable ways for clothing or energy-drink sponsors to reach a particular demographic. In 2016, Third Man Records, esteemed purveyors of garage punk and heavy blues rock, bodyslams that cliché to the beer-drenched floors of 27 venues across the country with its Audio Social Dissent Tour. Featuring Austin proto-punkers Video and psychedelically inclined Detroit sleaze-rockers Timmy’s Organism, along with fellow Motor City noise emissaries Wolf Eyes and Regression 696 (featuring two-thirds of the Wolf Eyes lineup), Audio Social Dissent represents a vicious undercurrent of loud, trippy, in-your-face music. “All of these bands are very modern representatives of the direction Third Man is going in 2016,” label co-founder Ben Swank tells Orlando Weekly. “It’s not necessarily polite or easy listening – in fact it’s uneasy listening. We released all of their records in a batch last fall, and it definitely turned some people off. But it was impor-

tant for us to say, ‘This is where we come from’ and use Third Man’s cachet to turn people on to stuff that might push them in a new musical direction. And that’s absolutely, 100 percent the reason you work for a record label in the first place.” Swank adds that, since the band’s founding in 2001, they’ve dreamed of putting together their own package tour – “sort of like a punk Stax Revue showcase,” he laughs. But after reaching out to multiple booking agencies, they settled on Flowerbooking, 25-year veterans in the independent music world. “They get these bands and they know the markets that they’ll do good in,” Swank says. “Flowerbooking jumped in with both feet to do this with complete gusto.” Which perfectly represents the energy that the Audio Dissent Tour brings to the Social on Feb. 13. Timmy’s Organism frontman Timmy Vulgar says that together, the bands form a pitch-perfect distillation of today’s underground music community. “Video brings high-energy classic ’70s punk, while Wolf Eyes and Regression 696 do this gnarly, psychedelic Krautrock noise,” he says. “And we play dirty, sleazy, balls-out Detroit punk. There’s a lot of wimpy music out there, and we’re going to take it on headfirst as a greasy threesome of grimy rock & rollers.”

So yes, you can expect some drunken debauchery, some eardrum-pounding lunacy – maybe even a little stage violence. Ben Swank says he knew Video was the real deal last year when they performed at SXSW for Third Man’s Rolling Record Store, in a parking lot, in the rain, for 10 people: “[Frontman] Daniel [Fried] was still punching the pavement, smashing his lip open with the microphone, screaming in people’s faces and shocking himself,” Swank laughs. “And they were doing it for the sake of doing it, as fully as they could, just because that’s how they do every show.” And they’re the young’uns on the Audio Social Dissent Tour. Nate Young of Wolf Eyes and Regression 696 has been plying his mangled, drone metal-influenced sonic assault for almost 20 years; Timmy Vulgar has served as a Detroit icon in cult-famous bands like Human Eye and Clone Defects for even longer. The fact that Third Man Records finally gave these lifers the support they deserved will warm the hearts of anyone obsessed with raunchy, revelatory rock. “I’m never going to work a regular job,” Vulgar says. “I just love to go on the road and play rock & roll. What I’m stoked about with Third Man is being able to do it a little more comfortably. And that they’ve given me the chance to finally come to Florida for the first time.” As Ben Swank adds, “These bands are not playing music to have a career or be famous – it’s all they have and all they do, and they’ve created their own individual sonic worlds doing it. When they played together here in Nashville in December, it was one of the shows of the year. And that’s not a ‘Way to go, Third Man’ thing – that’s a ‘Man, I’m glad I actually got to witness it’ thing. These guys live and breathe rock & roll, and giving other people around the country the chance to check that out is all we’re hoping for.”

Legendary Shack Shakers BY B AO L E - H U U

During its initial announcement back in December, I wrote about the predominantly démodé slant of new Orlando music fest hopeful the Moonstone Music Festival (Apr. 30-May 1, Central Florida Fairgrounds). Now, the latest lineup additions actually include surprisingly current bands like Best Coast, Eternal Summers and the Coathangers. However, they come alongside the likes of Kansas, Buckcherry and, good lord, the infernal Evanescence. Well, at least Surfer Blood will have some people to hang out with. And it’s nice to see locals like Kaleigh Baker, Mike Dunn, Room Full of Strangers and Beartoe added as well. But I now officially have no idea what is going on.

THE BEAT

Monotonix, Lightning Bolt, Bob Log III – these are legends of live experience. And the Legendary Shack Shakers (Feb. 5, Will’s Pub) are in this elite company. With the gift of musical, conceptual and physical genius, it all has to do with bandleader J.D. Wilkes. Between his music, writing, filmmaking and illustration, Wilkes is actually one of the most eminent artistic purveyors of the Southern mystique. He doesn’t shy away from its dark old blood – he conjures it. Like the juiciest episodes of Justified, his portraits and caricatures aren’t facile hick stereotypes. It’s the vision of a wickedly smart good ol’ boy who not only knows his heritage but also knows how to work it with diabolism. With the Shack Shakers, Wilkes has crafted one of the truly great under-

Straight from the Iggy Pop school of performance, J.D. Wilkes’ wild hillbilly-leprechaun stage presence is as punk as it is slapstick. ground live bands in modern history. Straight from the Iggy Pop school of performance, his wild hillbilly-leprechaun stage presence is as punk as it is slapstick. And he attacks the live show with a crazed Pentecostal fire and a wink of the eye. Due to a hiatus that saw Wilkes pursue his other also-notable artistic muses, it’s been a handful of years since the Shack Shakers have been here after a long chain of regular stops. And, clearly, Orlando has felt the privation because a full house turned out to receive the return with real event buzz. See, boys? We miss you. The always-maximum Wilkes showed no signs of rust, delivering the total concert porn that is a Shack Shakers show and propelling his band to scorch the stage like they’ve always done. To see them back in business and back in town? Pure, uproarious bliss. Like the recent Torche bill, the showcase headlined by Savannah’s Black Tusk (Feb. 3, Will’s Pub) was notable for not just its bold headliner but an opening cast that also challenges metal orthodoxy. With Torche, it was cyber noisemaker Jeff Carey (who will be returning on April 1 to Will’s Pub as part of the intriguing extreme Japanese music showcase the

MultipleTap Tour). With Black Tusk, it was a lineup that, instead of serving up degrees of the same sound like too many metal shows, delivered diverse excellence. Of the many good openers, North Carolina’s Bask was the most adventurous and interesting. A thoughtful blend of post-metal and abstract Southern rock, their journeying, panoramic music – kin to bands like Across Tundras – is a rich tableau of atmosphere, melody and tonnage. It’s irreverent of genre bounds and is the kind of thinking that expands the scope and reach of heavy music. Though the punk and metal blend of Destructonomicon was probably the most in sonic step with Black Tusk, this Orlando opener had an unusual edge of its own. Although it does exist in both metal and punk, nerdism isn’t necessarily the foremost thing that comes to mind when thinking about those genres – unless we’re talking power metal, which is straightup dork shit. But these local guys throw it all together with pride like a supercollider. Just look at that name: too many syllables (metal!), “destruct” (metal! punk! probably both!), “destructo” (nerdy twist!), “con” (maximum nerditry!). Despite all their nerdy references, however, they deliver a not-at-all-goofy punch with their thrashy onslaught. If you hadn’t seen their humorous social media and didn’t zone in on some of their lyrics, you probably wouldn’t even know about this streak. That’s testament to their sonic power. baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

Love Your Shorts Film Festival FILM

OUR PICKS FOR THE BEST EVENTS THIS WEEK

“I think that short films often contain an originality, a creative freedom, an energy and an invention that is inspiring and entertaining,” Kenneth Branagh once said. “I think they are, as Shakespeare put it, a good deed in a naughty world.”Naughty or not, our world is richer for short films. Specifically, Sanford has become a bigger cultural contributor to Central Florida since the Love Your Shorts Film Festival was launched in 2011. The four-day event returns to the historic Wayne Densch Performing Arts Center Feb. 11-14 with 62 short movies (under 30 minutes) from 17 countries. The event begins with a free “education day” featuring filmmaker workshops and movies from University of Central Florida students. The first of nine film blocks kicks off the festival proper at 7 p.m. Friday. While that block offers various genres, the next seven blocks cover one genre or theme each. They are E for Everyone, Documentary, Animation, Comedy and Sci-Fi/Horror on Saturday and Drama and Florida Flavor on Sunday. The event concludes with the Best of the Fest block, containing the top films from the previous blocks, as voted by attendees. – Cameron Meier 9:30 a.m. Thursday, 7 p.m. Friday, 10:30 a.m. Saturday, 1 p.m. Sunday | Wayne Densch Performing Arts Center, 203 S.

A good musical palate (or lack of) in a potential crush is a make-or-break factor for a lot of people, and a 20-minute Tinder date isn’t enough time to figure out if your potential boo likes Nickelback. Instead, figure out how harmonious you two might be at this year’s Indie-Folkfest at the Mennello Museum of American Art. Bring a picnic blanket and listen to the sweet crooning of artists like Terri Binion, Eugene Snowden & Friends, JunoSmile and the Steve Garron Threesome as you sit in the Sculpture Garden that overlooks Lake Formosa. The event also includes crafts your sweetie can buy for you and food vendors if you forget to pack sandwiches. Craft cocktails will be sold by local favorites such as the Courtesy Bar, Lil Indies, Artisan’s Table, Thirsty Topher and Hanson’s Shoe Repair.

Nude Nite: It’s just what it sounds like. An art and entertainment experience, Nude Nite brings people together to celebrate the beauty of the nude. Guests are invited to attend the three-day event – this year hosted at Artegon for the first time – and witness a night to bare all. Performances by body painters, aerialists and artists contribute to the largest nude art gallery in the nation. The pop-up gallery showcases more than 200 works of art from local and national artists. Attendees should keep in mind that due to the sensitive material at the event, flash photography and video are not allowed. – Rachel Stuart 6 p.m.-midnight | Artegon Marketplace, 5250 International Drive | nudenite.com | $20-$25

AT THE GATE PHOTO BY ESTER SEGARRA NUDE NITE ART: ‘THE SKULL’ BY SHELLEY LAKE

Twenty years ago, Swedish death metal band At the Gates released Slaughter of the Soul, an album that quickly established itself as a pre-eminent genre document. Had the band stopped then, they would have been remembered as one of the most important melodic death metal bands in history. And, well, they did stop then, imploding under the typical pressure of personality and creative conflicts. Most of the band splintered off to become the Haunted, carrying on AtG’s legacy in a faster, more aggressive and less melodic context, while the ’90s and 2000s served to further cement At the Gates’ legend. Of course, the band reunited (twice!) all while proclaiming there would never be any more new music recorded under the At the Gates moniker, and, of course, that was a lie. Thankfully, 2014’s At War With Reality album was a high-quality work that neither tarnished nor revised the mark left by Slaughter of the Soul, so now At the Gates is in the unusual and enviable position of being that rare extreme metal band that can trade equally on nostalgia and new material. – Jason Ferguson

Randy and Mr. Lahey of Trailer Park Boys at Backbooth COMEDY

The shit winds roll into Orlando as Trailer Park Boys’ booziest (and sexiest) duo pack out Backbooth to prove once again that Canadians are neither nice nor orderly. Sunnyvale Trailer Park Supervisor Mr. Lahey (John Dunsworth) and his loyal sidekick Randy (Pat Roach) drunkenly slur stories about things like Randy’s ex-life as a cheeseburger-obsessed prostitute, with the show only slowing down slightly to bring you banging tunes like “Shit Rap.” The show is loosely inspired by the TV show and movies, but Randy and Mr. Lahey have been crafting their show for eight years, so expect some more original shit puns,

Living Room Theater

MUSIC

THEATER

Pop sensation Carly Rae Jepsen might have started out waiting by the phone, but now she isn’t waiting for calls — she’s making them. Her career started off with the 2012 summertime single “Call Me Maybe,” a song so overplayed it was impossible to keep out of your head, but Jepsen has since matured into a versatile artist with a pop sound that goes beyond repetitive radio garbage. In 2014, she starred on Broadway in Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella, she appeared in Fox’s Grease: Live just a couple weeks ago and now she’s on tour performing songs from her new album, E·MO·TION. Her new music is powerful and passionate, with a charm that comes from its classic ’80s pop sound. With infectious tunes and a fresh retro-dance vibe, does it actually sound so crazy to give Jepsen and chance and go see her, maybe? — Deanna Ferrante

It’s said that theater at its most basic level needs only two people to occur: one person to do something and another person to watch. But while stages, costumes, props and lighting may be technically inessential, they sure do change the way we feel about a performance. Take Living Room Theater, for example. Thespians Tisse Mallon, Banks Helfrich and Jack Graham have been performing experimental pieces of theater in people’s living rooms, using the intimacy of the familiar spaces to connect closely with the audience as they act out scenes that range from comedic sketches to uncomfortable examinations of domestic violence. It’s a form of theater that doesn’t eschew the basics, but makes you highly aware of just how much effect the surroundings have on the experience. And you could find worse living rooms to experience it in than Timucua’s cozy performance space. – Thaddeus McCollum

A Valentine for David Bowie MUSIC

Cancer is a motherfucker. You will most likely not get through this life without losing someone you love to it, and no one is immune – not even cultural icons like David Bowie. The man who redefined what it meant to be a rock star, who redefined the rock landscape a number of times, succumbed to liver cancer on Jan. 10. Tonight, a veritable who’s who of Orlando musicians gathers at what’s basically the city’s living room, Will’s Pub, to honor the man who had such an impact on so many people’s lives. Performances from the likes of the Actomatics, Eugene Snowden, Steve Garron, Kaleigh Baker – and even OW’s former star reporter and current Watermark editor-in-chief, Billy Manes – flow quickly from act to act, creating a nonstop evening of live music. All proceeds go to the family of Sean Allen, a veteran local scenester and friend to many who was also lost to cancer in January. Bring your valentine, but more importantly, bring tissues, as we don’t anticipate there being a dry eye in the house before the night is through. – Thaddeus McCollum 5:30 p.m. | Will’s Pub, 1042 N. Mills Ave. | willspub.org | $7-$10

BY EMILY FLAKE

there anything you could do to help them upgrade their love for themselves? If their self-love is lacking, what might you do to protect yourself from that problem?

ARIES (March 21-April 19) “Love is a fire,” declared Aries actress Joan Crawford. “But whether it’s going to warm your hearth or burn down your house, you can never tell.” I disagree with her conclusion. There are practical steps you can take to ensure that love’s fire warms but doesn’t burn. Start with these strategies: Suffuse your libido with compassion. Imbue your romantic fervor with empathy. Instill your animal passions and instinctual longings with affectionate tenderness. If you catch your sexual urges driving you toward narcissists who are no damn good for you, firmly redirect those sexual urges toward emotionally intelligent, self-responsible beauties. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Fifteenth-century writer Thomas à Kempis thought that real love can arouse enormous fortitude in the person who loves. “Love feels no burden,” he wrote. “It attempts what is above its strength, pleads no excuse of impossibility; for it thinks all things lawful for itself, and all things possible.” As you might imagine, the “real love” he was referring to is not the kind that’s motivated by egotism, power drives, blind lust or insecurity. I think you know what I mean because in the past few months you have had unprecedented access to the primal glory that Thomas referred to. And in the coming months you will have even more. What do you plan to do with all that mojo? GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Gemini novelist Elizabeth Bowen (1899-1973) was fascinated with “life with the lid on and what happens when the lid comes off.” She knew both states from her own experience. “When you love someone,” she mused about the times the lid had come off, “all your saved-up wishes start coming out.” In accordance with the astrological omens, I propose that you engage in the following three-part exercise. First, identify a part of your life that has the lid tightly clamped over it. Second, visualize the suppressed feelings and saved-up wishes that might pour forth if you took the lid off. Third, do what it takes to love someone so well that you’ll knock the lid off. CANCER (June 21-July 22) “No one has ever loved anyone the way everyone wants to be loved,” wrote author Mignon McLaughlin. I think that may be true. The gap between what we yearn for and what we actually get is never fully closed. Nevertheless, I suggest that you strive to refute McLaughlin’s curse in the coming days. Why? Because you now have an enhanced capacity to love the people you care about in ways they want to be loved. So be experimental with your tenderness. Take the risk of going beyond what you’ve been willing or able to give before. Trust your fertile imagination to guide your ingenious empathy. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Here’s the counsel of French writer Anatole France: “You learn to speak by speaking, to study by studying, to run by running, to work by working; in just the same way, you learn to love by loving.” What he says is always true, but it’s especially apropos for you Leos in the coming weeks. You now have a special talent for learning more about love by loving deeply, excitedly and imaginatively. To add further nuance and inspiration, meditate on this advice from author Aldous Huxley: “There isn’t any formula or method. You learn to love by loving – by paying attention and doing what one thereby discovers has to be done.” VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) “I do not trust people who don’t love themselves and yet tell me, ‘I love you,’” said author Maya Angelou. She concludes: “There is an African saying: Be careful when a naked person offers you a shirt.” With this in mind, I invite you to take inventory of the allies and relatives whose relationships are most important to you. How well do they love themselves? Is

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) “Only love interests me,” declared painter Marc Chagall, “and I am only in contact with things that revolve around love.” That seems like an impossibly high standard. Our daily adventures bring us into proximity with loveless messes all the time. It’s hard to focus on love to the exclusion of all other concerns. But it’s a worthy goal to strive toward Chagall’s ideal for short bursts of time. And the coming weeks happen to be a favorable phase for you to do just that. Your success may be partial, but dramatic nonetheless. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) “A coward is incapable of exhibiting love,” said Mahatma Gandhi. “It is the prerogative of the brave.” That’s my challenge to you. In accordance with the astrological currents, I urge you to stoke your uninhibited audacity so you can press onward toward the frontiers of intimacy. It’s not enough to be wilder, and it’s not enough to be freer. To fulfill love’s potential in the next chapter of your story, you’ve got to be wilder, freer and bolder. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) “It is not lack of love but lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages,” said Friedrich Nietzsche. He believed that if you want to join your fortunes with another’s, you should ask yourself whether you will enjoy your conversations with this person for the next 30 years – because that’s what you’ll be doing much of the time you’re together. How do you measure up to this gold standard? What role does friendship play in your romantic adventures? If there’s anything lacking, now is an excellent time to seek improvements. Start with yourself, of course. How could you infuse more camaraderie into the way you express love? What might you do to upgrade your skills as a conversationalist? CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) “Love isn’t something you find,” says singer Loretta Lynn. “Love is something that finds you.” Singer Kylie Minogue concurs: “You need a lot of luck to find people with whom you want to spend your life. Love is like a lottery.” I think these perspectives are at best misleading, and at worst debilitating. They imply we have no power to shape our relationship with love. My view is different. I say there’s a lot we can do to attract intimate allies who teach us, stimulate us and fulfill us. Like what? 1) We clarify what qualities we want in a partner, and we make sure that those qualities are also healthy for us. 2) We get free of unconscious conditioning that’s at odds with our conscious values. 3) We work to transform ourselves into lovable collaborators who communicate well. Anything else? What can you do to make sure love isn’t a lottery? AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) “We all have the potential to fall in love a thousand times in our lifetime,” writes Chuck Klosterman. “It’s easy. But there are certain people you love who do something else; they define how you classify what love is supposed to feel like. You’ll meet maybe four or five of these people over the span of 80 years.” He concludes, “A lover like this sets the template for what you will always love about other people.” I suspect that you have either recently met or will soon meet such a person. Or else you are on the verge of going deeper than ever before with an ally you have known for a while. That’s why I think what happens in the next six months will put an enduring stamp on your relationship with intimacy. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Sixteenth-century Italian poet Torquato Tasso described one of love’s best blessings. He said your lover can reunite you with “a piece of your soul that you never knew was missing.” You Pisceans are in a phase when this act of grace is more possible than usual. The revelatory boon may emerge because of the chemistry stirred up by a sparkly new affiliation. Or it may arise thanks to a familiar relationship that is entering unfamiliar territory.

We have a champion who is looking for a forever home! Bronco (Animal ID A340874) is a 2-year-old dog who weighs in at 129 pounds. This gentle giant loves doggy biscuits – so much that he might need a “super bowl” to eat all of his treats. He is a really friendly boy who enjoys being petted, and he’d love to have a large yard where he can run around. Bronco walks well on a leash, and is a wellbehaved dog. He does have heartworm disease, but it is treatable. Please learn about treatment options before passing him up as your next pet. Bronco’s adoption fee has been waived to help alleviate the cost of his heartworm treatment. For more information, visit ocnetpets.com or visit the shelter at 2769 Conroy Road. orlandoweekly.com

B Y D A N S AVA G E Gay man in my late 20s. I recently ended things with a guy. Our relationship started as a strictly sexual one. We’re both involved in the kink scene in our city and have interests that align in a great way. Quickly it became clear there was a real connection. The next two months were great! But early on, I noticed that he was a much more extroverted person than I was. He would laugh loudly at movies, work the room at parties, say things about kink in the middle of crowded restaurants. I prefer to blend in. Initially I thought of this as “the price of admission,” one I was willing to pay, but it soon became tiresome. I ended things, telling him that there were conflicts with our personalities that made a relationship difficult, not specifying what. He fell for me, but I don’t want him to think he has to change who he is to be with me. I loved being in a relationship again, the sex is great, and finding someone who shares your kinks and that you’re attracted to emotionally is rare. We have a ton in common when he’s being down-to-earth. He’s asking me to reconsider. Was I right to end this? Tired Of Being Single

He shouldn’t have to change who he is to be with you, TOBS, but what if he wants to? It’s unlikely he’ll morph into an always-quietlytittering, always-discreet introvert, just as you’re unlikely to morph into a braying, oversharing extrovert. But if making an effort to dial it back is the price he has to pay to be with you, why not let him decide if he’s willing to pay? Gays represent a tiny percentage of the general population, TOBS, and kinky gays represent a notso-tiny-but-still-smallish percentage of the gay population. I don’t think you have to marry this man, regardless of his flaws, just because you’re gay and your kinks align. But you should think twice about discarding a guy who’s gay and kinky and whose company you enjoy most of the time just because he gets on your nerves now and then. At the very least, you owe it to yourself, just as you owe it to him, to be specific about the reasons you pulled the plug – because he might want to make an effort to win you back. There’s a lot that’s good here – your kinks align (rare!) and you enjoy spending some-but-not-all of your time together (common!) – and there are always work-arounds for the bad. With some effort, you could find the work-arounds that work for you two: He makes an effort, when you nudge him, to dial it back; he goes to comedies with his friends, dramas with you; if he’s working a room, he won’t take offense if you slip into another room. Give it – give him – a chance. I’m a gay male college student in a healthy D/s relationship with a bisexual guy. My boyfriend posts pictures of our kink sessions to his Tumblr. (No faces.) A trans woman active in campus queer politics confronted me today. Ze had seen my boyfriend’s Tumblr (!) and recognized me (!!!). Ze demanded I stop engaging in BDSM because ze has to see me on campus and knowing my boyfriend “controls and abuses” me is triggering for zir. Ze said images of me in medical restraints were particularly traumatizing. Ze was shaking and crying, and I wound up comforting zir. I stupidly let zir think I would stop. Now what? Scenario Utterly Bananas P.S. Ze also threatened to out my boyfriend if

ze saw new pictures go up on his Tumblr. My boyfriend is already out – about being bi and being kinky – so he laughed it off. But how fucked up is that?

You tell this woman you take orders from your boyfriend, SUB, not from random campus nutcases. You advise zir to stay away from Tumblr porn ze finds traumatizing. And if ze pushes back, you explain to zir that if anyone’s being controlling and abusive here, it’s zir. And if ze starts shaking and crying, direct zir to the student health center. And for your own protection, tell zir all of this with at least one witness present. Document everything, and if ze keeps getting in your face about your consensual, nonabusive D/s relationship, take the ironic step of filing a restraining order against zir. I’m a 24-year-old gay man. My boyfriend and I have been together for just over a year. I have a hang-up when it comes to anal sex. I like bottoming, and I’ve had my fair share of great experiences, but I’ve bottomed only once with my boyfriend. I think I’ve identified why: The ceremonies around anal sex (the lube and condoms part) turn me off due to the smell of the lube and the sound of the condom wrapper. It brings up memories of times when I didn’t have a great time bottoming. Additionally, he is a little bigger than most, so there’s that. What do you suggest? Would it be as simple as finding a lube that doesn’t smell so much? When I top him, which is something we both enjoy, there isn’t a problem. Wants Anal Now, Goddamnit!

Usually when someone complains about an unpleasant smell associated with anal sex … lube isn’t the issue. But that’s an easily solved problem, WANG, so easily solved that you bundled the answer up with your question: There are 10 million brands of lube on the market, kiddo. Shop around until you find one that doesn’t offend your nostrils. As for the condom-wrapper issue, try opening condoms 10 or 20 minutes in advance. Condoms are likelier to be an interruption – one that derails hot butt sex – if you wait until the split second before penetration to bust one out. Open condom packets early, WANG, and put the condom on the BF during foreplay. That way, if the fumbling deflates your bottom-boner (which is a state of mind), you’ll have time to make out, roll around, rim each other, stroke yourself – whatever it takes to get your bottom-boner back. To get a handle on your performance anxiety and those negative associations – bad memories of lousy experiences, fear of your boyfriend’s big ol’ dick, concerns about whether you’ll have to bail – get some butt toys of varying sizes, and use ’em when you’re alone. With no boyfriend around to disappoint, the penetration will be about your pleasure. In a month or two, with a little effort and non-stinky lube, you’ll have built up a store of positive associations and gained some confidence. And finally, WANG, if nothing works … maybe you’re a top? On the Lovecast, Dan chats with the amazing Midori about how to get your dom on: savagelovecast.com.
