Say “hi” to your mother for me Surprised at the location they chose (“Date set for Wahlburgers grand opening party, and yes, Mark will be in attendance,” Jan. 21). Haven’t been in downtown Orlando for a few years but always remember nothing significant being around the Orange Avenue area. I guess the new arena and the Dr. Phillips Center are in the area, but the location they chose seems odd. I just always assumed that they would build one out by Universal or Downtown Disney. Glad that they are catering to us locals, though.

FSU will pay the student who accused Jameis Winston of sexual assault $950,000

FSU reaches settlement in Jameis Winston case Florida State University has agreed to pay $950,000 in a federal Title IX lawsuit to settle with a former student who says she was sexually assaulted in 2012 by FSU quarterback Jameis Winston. In exchange for agreeing to drop the lawsuit, the student will receive $250,000, and her lawyers will get $700,00 in attorney fees, according to a press release from FSU. The Tampa Bay Times reports the payment is “believed to be the largest ever to one plaintiff in a Title IX sexual assault case.” The student says FSU did not respond to her allegations that Winston, currently the starting quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, raped her. After Winston, who has denied the allegations and maintained the two had consensual sex, was not charged in an FSU disciplinary hearing or a State Attorney’s Office investigation, the student sued. In the school’s statement, FSU president John Thrasher outlines how the school has improved its response to sexual assaults and says settling with the student helped FSU avoid “millions of dollars in additional litigation expense.” “Although we regret we will never be able to tell our full story in court, it is 6
apparent that a trial many months from now would have left FSU fighting over the past rather than looking toward its very bright future,” Thrasher says. “We have decided to instead move forward even though we have full faith that the ultimate outcome of a trial would have been consistent with the previous law enforcement investigations and retired Supreme Court Justice Major Harding’s findings in the student conduct hearing. ... We have an obligation to our students, their parents and Florida taxpayers to deal with this case, as we do all litigation, in a financially responsible manner. With all the economic demands we face, at some point it doesn’t make sense to continue even though we are convinced we would have prevailed.” The student who brought the suit also filed a civil lawsuit against Winston, and she has been countersued by the football player for defamation. – Monivette Cordeiro
Legislature to consider bills that would ban red-light cameras A Florida without red-light cameras could become a reality if a pair of bills introduced in the Legislature make progress this session.

The House Economic Affairs Committee passed HB 4027: Traffic Infraction Detectors, which prohibits local governments from using red-light cameras by repealing the 2010 law that permitted them. Before the bill goes to full vote, it needs to pass the House Appropriations Committee. The bill was filed by Rep. Frank Artiles, R-Miami, who opposes red-light cameras because he doesn’t believe they improve public safety. Rather, he says, local governments use them as a source of revenue. According to a 2014 report from the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, the state documented an increase in the number of accidents at 276 camera-monitored intersections in the state. The report also showed that at intersections where cameras were installed between January 2012 and September 2014 there was an increase in fatal crashes, incapacitating injuries and crashes involving non-motorists. Senate Transportation Chairman Jeff Brandes, R-St. Petersburg, submitted a version of the bill in the Senate, but it has not been heard yet. – Caitlyn Ralph
Lymmo adds new free bus lines around downtown Last weekend, Orlando gained two new additions to the current free Lymmo system. On Sunday, Jan. 24, the fare-free bus service added the new Lime Line, which connects Parramore residents to the Lynx Central Station, SunRail and the downtown core, according to a press release from the city of Orlando. This launch is limited and includes new stops at the FAMU College of Law, the U.S. District Courthouse and the intersection of Robinson Street and Garland Avenue. When the route is complete in August 2016, two additional stops in the Creative Village will be added. A new stand-alone North Quarter Loop of the Lymmo Orange Line was also added to the system. The line operates along Magnolia Avenue, Livingston Avenue, Marks Street and Orange Avenue, with transfers to the Lymmo Orange-Downtown Line available at the Orange County Courthouse station. – Deanna Ferrante feedback@orlandoweekly.com

professional photos of animals at the shelter to increase their odds of adoption, to email Orange County Mayor Teresa Jacobs asking to be reappointed to the board. Wean and other advocates say that newer members appointed to the board have missed meetings or resigned, and the lack of invested board members have affected its ability to bring change to the shelter, which has been criticized over the years as being inefficient and sometimes reticent to change. “It is obvious that over the past year this board has completely fallen apart, and I feel that this disintegration has been encouraged and facilitated by management, if not actively at least tacitly,” Wean writes. “Accordingly I respectfully suggest that the mayor and the commission seriously consider disbanding the board if it has no meaningful role to play.”

Animal advocates frustrated by Orange County’s Animal Services Advisory Board By Monivette Cor d ei r o
a
s Zumba music blared outside the small meeting room at the Barnett Park recreation center, animal advocates waited inside on folding chairs last Tuesday to let the Orange County Animal Services Advisory Board know what they thought about Speck. Speck, a friendly beige dog with caramel splotches on her face, was euthanized on Jan. 13. She was found by OCAS officials found earlier this month injured and next to a dead raccoon. Because raccoons are at risk for carrying rabies, Speck should have gone straight to quarantine when she came in, but because of a miscommunication between employees, she came into contact with several volunteers, potentially exposing them to a deadly virus. On Jan. 19, OCAS officials said Speck’s remains tested negative for rabies, but some shelter volunteers were still upset Tuesday night because a rescue group and foster had volunteered to take Speck in. County officials say the group hesitated when they found out Speck needed to be quarantined, so OCAS decided to euthanize her.

“The way this was handled was disrespectful to every single volunteer that gives their time,” Cris Ferreira Reed, a volunteer at the OCAS shelter, told the board. “We have to deal with the already emotional undertaking of being there knowing maybe the dog or cat you’re dealing with is going to get euthanized no matter what. … This felt like somebody wanted to cover their asses and say we took care of it, the dog’s dead, like it was a clerical error. But we cared about her. … I always think the county is trying to do the right thing, but the way it was handled was not the right way.” Speck’s situation, however, was news to the five advisory board members who attended Tuesday’s meeting, chairwoman Sue Carpenter says. They learned the details about the euthanized canine as members of the public stood up to speak at the meeting and were answered by OCAS staff. That led Paul Wean, a former chairman of the Animal Services Advisory Board and founder of Pawsitive Shelter Photography, an organization that takes

very third Tuesday of the month, the Animal Services Advisory Board meets at Barnett Park, but according to public records obtained from Orange County, there has not been a single meeting in the past year at which all seven members of the board have been present. The board is one of 55 boards, commissions and authorities that the Orange County Board of Commissioners appoint to help advise county agencies. Made up of four at-large representatives, one attorney, one Orange County Sheriff’s Office representative and one veterinarian, the Animal Services Advisory Board is supposed to “assist and advise” commissioners on how to carry out an effective and comprehensive animal-sheltering program. From December 2014 to July 2015, atlarge representative Erin Koski missed three meetings in a row, attended two and then missed another three meetings in a row. According to the board’s rules, members who miss three meetings in a row, or 25 percent of the scheduled meetings in a year, are considered to have resigned. Dennis Hassard was appointed as an at-large representative in May after Wean, Karina Pastrana and Deborah Turner termed out, but Hassard never attended a meeting. He missed five meetings before he was replaced. John Wight, the veterinarian on the board, says he missed three meetings in a row from July to September because his work conflicted with the meetings. Koski and Hassard did not immediately respond for a comment. In October, about a dozen residents and animal advocates showed up to the board’s monthly meeting, but there were not enough members present to reach a quorum, so it was cancelled. The board
held a successful meeting in November with all members present (although there was one vacant position on the board), but the December meeting was canceled after Carpenter, who usually has stellar attendance, could not make it because of eye surgery. Carpenter says she learned from OCAS staff at the meeting last Tuesday that Elizabeth Bertrand, the attorney appointed to the board after Wean left, had just resigned. Carpenter has been the only board member to remain during the past year’s heavy turnover. Currently the attorney and the veterinarian spots are open. Sometimes the meetings would get contentious, Carpenter says, most recently this past summer, when about 50 Orange County residents packed the small room and voiced their angry concerns about eight dogs left at the Winter Garden home of two men arrested for animal cruelty. Things have gotten better since November, after Carpenter asked that board members be allowed to respond to public comments. “We were previously told we were not supposed to respond,” she says. “If I just stood there listening and walked away, that was the problem.” Wean now serves on the Planning and Zoning Commission, and he says he gets the commission’s agenda for review a week in advance, whereas on the Animal Services board, he remembers getting it the day before, which he says can make it difficult for a board to be productive. “OCAS has to take in every animal presented, regardless of how they’ve been raised or treated, and that’s not an easy situation, I won’t minimize that,” Wean says. “By and large, staff does an incredibly hard job, but that shouldn’t prevent anyone from trying to do better. I did not see the encouragement to help the board come up with ways to improve the system.” Dil Luther, manager at OCAS, could not accommodate an interview about the board, according to county spokeswoman Carrie Proudfit, but Luther did provide a statement. “The current Orange County Animal Services Advisory Board has been very open minded, receptive and eager to work in partnership with the Animal Services Department here in Orange County,” he says. “Its members represent valuable areas of expertise, as well as reflect the Orange County community – which is the intended purpose and design of the board.” OCAS spokeswoman Diane Summers told the board last week that the shelter had extended its weekend hours and

shelter visitors increased by 22 percent in 2015. Adoptions were up by 20 percent to 8,082 pets, and the number of animals euthanized decreased by 34 percent to 5,157 from 2014 to 2015. During her tenure on the board, Karina Pastrana, co-owner of Happy Paws Pet Resort in East Orlando, says board members made changes through “blood, sweat and tears.” The board discussed extending shelter hours, euthanasia rates, licensing breeders, getting rid of puppy stores, creating a program that would help offset the medical costs of treating heartworm-positive dogs and installing air conditioning at the shelter, which currently has none. A 2014 ventilation system study of the shelter, conducted in 2014, was finally presented to the board at its last meeting. Pastrana doesn’t know how many board members are shelter volunteers, but she says being one is essential to understanding OCAS. “When you volunteer, you get to understand the process fully, everything from the adoption application to the cleaning process,” she says. “You can’t make a recommendation if you don’t know what’s there. How can you provide a voice for the animals if you don’t even know physically where they are?”
F
or shelter volunteers Cris Ferreira Reed and Maria Bolton-Joubert, being an advocate for the cats and dogs in Orange County’s shelter is timeconsuming, but rewarding. They say that several animal advocates applied to be on the Animal Services Advisory Board in the past year as position after position opened up, but none were selected. (Disclosure: Erin Sullivan, the editor of Orlando Weekly, is a former volunteer for OCAS and once applied to be a member of the Animal Services Advisory Board.) Dennis Hassard, the board member who was appointed this year but never attended a meeting, applied for the board at the end of 2014, according to Orange County public records. In the same application, he also applied for the Code Enforcement Board and the Planning and Zoning Commission. Nowhere in his application does he list a particular interest in animals. Similarly, Erin Koski, Frayda Morris and Elizabeth Bertrand applied for multiple boards at the same time, and nowhere in their application did they list experience with animals or an interest in them. Only board member William F. Gouveia, who was appointed this year, said he was a longtime horseman and certified equine appraiser. Out of the 23 applications considered for open positions on the board, about half
of the people who applied listed that they were advocates, had worked with rescues, volunteered at the shelter, had pets or were at least interested in animal welfare. None of them were chosen. According to Proudfit, all of the applications were processed through another county board, the Membership and Mission Review Board. When you apply for a board, she says, your application stays open for two years and an MMRB liaison will review your application if a position opens up. “The liaison serves a critical role,” she says. “If there are any concerns, issues with any members of the board, the liaison would address them. Both our agenda development team and the liaison are provided with the attendance and minutes of meetings.” Yog Melwani is the MMRB liaison for the Animal Services Advisory Board, and he recommends people to the Orange County commissioners for appointment. Despite multiple phone calls and emails, Melwani did not respond to a request for comment on how he chooses people for the board. Christine Cavagnaro Loria says she applied, and she listed her passion for animals. In a December letter to commissioners, she wrote that she’s frustrated by months of inaction from the board. “If we are really going to be able to be a positive voice for the animals at OCAS and be able to make good necessary changes to save as many lives as possible, this board must be professional, eager, hardworking, trendsetting animal lovers that are present for the community,” she wrote. “Members of the community are here and trying to help make change, but it is an uphill battle until we have an effective and present OCAS Advisory Board.” Cheri Wells, founder of the specialneeds dog rescue Lovey Loaves, works constantly with the county, but says OCAS is not open for suggestions. “I pull dogs not getting the appropriate care they deserve, and sometimes they’re released to me soaked in their own urine and fecal matter,” she says. “I went to the board and asked them to help me, and I was accused of attacking OCAS. I went back to Dil later and told him I wasn’t attacking him, I was asking for his help.” Board member Sue Carpenter, though, is hopeful. She says she disagrees with Wean that the board should be disbanded. “I think we’re finally getting accomplishments made,” she says. “The public is trying to work with us and making suggestions. I feel we’re in a better place now.” mcordeiro@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

A packed downtown opening at 420 East cements Snap! Orlando’s reputation as pre-eminent art partiers By Richa R d Reep NU WERKS, NEW SCULPTURINGS, CONTINUUM and SEASONS CHANGE snap! Downtown, 420 E. church st. | snaporlando.com | free

aybe last Thursday night’s brisk, dry weather sent a higher voltage through Orlando’s art crowd, I don’t know. Maybe it was the moon. But Snap! Downtown’s opening night possessed a coolly electric creative tension not felt at most local art openings. Suddenly everyone was an art expert, or at least an art lover, and they all showed up at 420 E. Church St. to witness Snap! Orlando’s sixth birthday party and the unveiling of their new gallery spaces. The evening had the celebratory feel of a victory party, as if we finally got what we’ve long deserved: an art scene of larger proportions. Patrick and Holly Kahn, impresarios of Snap! Orlando’s growing art happenings, established a reputation with annual public photography events and the Snap! Space
gallery in the old Cameo Theater on Colonial Drive. In 2015, they spied a good place to grow Snap’s presence in Thornton Park, at the 420 East Apartments building. “We think this is a good place to capture the essence of Orlando’s boom,” Patrick Kahn says. The sidewalk takes one past three galleries and into a corner glass vestibule. The corner gallery anchors the quiet, leafy intersection of Church Street and Lake Avenue, carving out an elegant, tall space. Inside the gallery, a warm wood backdrop glows, beckoning one further in. Blocky syncopated teal and white slabs adorn the building’s exterior, but the real street action is inside the gallery. Walls festooned by our own Chris Robb and Earl Funk, as well as German artist Mark Gmehling, create a trio of different looks in the three spaces dedicated to Snap! Downtown. Kahn’s chosen artists for his inaugural event captured the essence of the scene. On opening night, Gmehling’s Nu Werks, 3-D renderings of gorgeous, glossy characters, beautifully spoofed the con-
noisseurs crowding the gallery, while Rebecca Rose’s outrageous silver and bronze Sculpturings sparkled in glass domes under their gaze. Guests jostled between DJs, bars and other people down the narrow hall connecting the three art spaces; the compression raised the anticipation to see the next gallery. Once they squeezed through to the second gallery (OG2), Chris Robb’s vibrant, transparent abstracts exploded in Continuum, a pressure relief zone; further up, OG1 was dedicated to Earl Funk’s Seasons Change, gorgeously aerosoled onto faux-brick wallpaper and aimed at an edgier crowd. Up on the pool deck, about six floors above the street, the party continued. Artists and art lovers formed into knots around the pool plaza – the familiar knots that dominate most openings around town. Between the cliques flowed huge rafts of people, unraveling some knots as new faces arrived. It was interesting to watch people come out onto the monumentally scaled pool deck surrounded by orlandoweekly.com
●
six stories of apartment balconies: raised eyebrows of astonishment, as if to say “We have this kind of thing here?” Not South Beach, but here in our own town. Music spun by DJ Nigel John’s sure hand and a Gmehling wall projection lent a bit of theater to the evening. Many felt a euphoric buzz that didn’t come from the street address (420, get it?) – instead, it came from the feeling that we’ve entered a new era in Orlando, an era when we make our own scene, rather than going to Miami, New York or L.A. for a hit of urbanity. Time will tell if this newfound sophistication latches on in our own City Beautiful. The Kahns make it seem so simple and natural for us to enjoy ourselves among artists and art, and Orlandoans seem ready to claim an upscale, larger-thanlife social experience revolving around fine art. Art matters, making us all a little richer, a little sexier and a little more interesting, even if just for the evening. arts@orlandoweekly.com

erge and Marc have been friends for 15 years. If anything were to come between them, it should be a politics, or religion, or a woman. Instead, it’s a painting. After Serge splurges on an obscenely overpriced work of art consisting of a plain white canvas (that might contain off-white lines), he seeks Marc’s approval. But Marc angrily rejects it as “white shit.” Stepping in as peacemaker is their friend Yvan. Though he, too, sees little value in the pretentious painting, he timidly feigns interest to appease Serge. This is the setup for Yasmina Reza’s award-winning play about friendship and the painfully personal feelings that artistic differences can conjure. And because of its simple story, spare design and minimalist structure (80 minutes with no intermission), the play becomes a meta-theatrical commentary on the value of ultra-minimalism by itself becoming minimalistic. By doing so, it suggests that simplicity can often harbor complex humanity. In this instance, that humanity is hidden behind an alternatingly hilarious and emotionally powerful dramedy. The play premiered in Paris in 1994, and the English translation by Christopher Hampton opened in London in 1996, with Albert Finney as Marc. A Broadway run followed in 1998 with Alan Alda and Alfred Molina. I had the privilege of seeing it in London in 2001, with George Segal, Paul Freeman and Richard Griffiths. Understandably, Mad Cow’s production suffers in comparison to that version, but
it still crackles with comedy and pathos thanks to director Mark Edward Smith, whose only significant mistake is a missed moment of hilarity involving Serge’s amusing offer of olives (sans olive branch) to a hungry Yvan. All three actors are Mad Cow veterans, and though their individual performances aren’t always stellar, their chemistry is convincing. In the role of neurotic Yvan, Tommy Keesling steals scenes with his high-energy, rapid-fire delivery. And he nails the play’s most famous monologue, a brilliant rant about the perils of marriage, delivered at the speed of His Girl Friday. Thom Mesrobian, as Serge, might not shine as brightly, but he brings a steadiness and believability. Lastly, Jay T. Becker, returning to Mad Cow for the first time in several years as Marc, is the most charismatic and dramatically sure of the performers, though his line delivery on opening night was a tad choppy. William Elliott’s simple set complements the story and allows the infamous painting to be the focus of many scenes. And his placement of the furniture in a black circle positions the characters – and their bitter attacks on one another – in a visual and thematic bull’s-eye. In addition, his stark but clean color palette of blacks, whites and grays suit the script almost as successfully as Jerry Klein’s on-point lighting. It’s just a shame that transitions from one apartment to the next couldn’t have been a bit more convincing and less clunky. “Life imitates art far more than art imitates life,” Oscar Wilde wrote. But – if only at Mad Cow – Art imitates both art and life, with hilarious and thought-provoking results.

A Place Gallery is Orlando’s latest venue for performance, video, multimedia and other ephemeral art forms
PAUL FINCH, “AFTER VANESSA BEECROFT”; PHOTO BY SETH KUBERSKY
It’s churlish to kvetch about
temperatures in the 40s when the Northeast is being snowed under, but our recent run of chilly weather was the closest thing to winter Orlando has felt in a while. And what better way to ward off the “Florida Cold” than at an art opening? Snap’s new gallery at 420 E. Church St. was certainly the hottest place in town last Friday night (see our cover story, page 11), but thanks to Time Waste Management, it wasn’t the only place to warm up with piping-fresh art last weekend. The arts collective (whose founders include Cody Zeigler, Tara Atefi and Jeff Gross) established A Place Gallery last August in a few upstairs rooms at the corner of Mills and 50. Though they quickly attracted attention for their early exhibits, including a nod in our 2015 visual arts yearend review (Dec. 16, 2015), I hadn’t visited this block since the second floor next door was occupied by the Space, a similar experimental venue. Last Thursday and Saturday nights saw opening receptions for
Keep Me in Your Prayers/Fears, their latest interdisciplinary exhibit incorporating two-dimensional, three-dimensional and four-dimensional designs. As soon as I entered the intimate whitewalled warren at the top of the steep stairs, I had to suppress an urge to sweep, having spotted what seemed to be shards of glass and splintered frames on the floor. Only a blue demarcation line around David Matteson’s “Grave Digger” installation gave away that the debris was not only purposeful, but the piece’s point. Likewise, Matteson’s live performance piece – in which he endlessly cycled through yoga poses while wearing an ex-animal – is only aesthetically illuminated after reading his irony-laced title: “My Grandmother Died and All I Received Was This Fur Coat.” On the other side of the wall, Paul Finch was enacting “After Vanessa Beecroft,” the evening’s other live performance, by standing silently in pantyhose, heels and a wig next to a video of himself doing the same; the title name-checks the controversial Italian artist who posed similarly attired women en masse. Endam Nihan’s “#thinkfuzzy” propaganda posters advertising armpit hair overlooked both performances, with Dylan DeRose’s slowly decaying pile of oranges (“Preservation”) and Lam Hoi Sin’s beverage-bottle flower
vase (“4eva”) in between them. Luckily for me, artist and show curator Vanessa Barros Andrade was on hand during my visit; armed with a mug of organic brew from the Vita Luna coffee and tea bar, she assisted me in finding the common thread connecting this eccentric collection. “The whole unifying idea was ‘impermanence,’” Andrade explained. “I asked all of the artists to make a piece with that idea in mind, but I didn’t give them anything else besides the word ‘impermanence,’ so it was their practice in relation to that word. So there are a lot of elements of beauty, and things that are seemingly vain. Basically, all of the things people do to keep things lasting forever.” For example, Betsy Johnson – who was named Best Local Visual Artist in our 2015 Best of Orlando awards – videotaped herself gluing waxy yellow strips on her face; their exact composition was a blessed mystery until Andrade revealed that it was the artist’s own skin. “It’s a little graphic,” she admitted with a smile. “She has this anxious tic where she peels her skin. The title is ‘Graft (Male Pattern)’; we were hoping the word ‘graft’ would give a hint.” That uncomfortable intersection of creativity and compulsion carries through Andrade’s own work, “Reality of a Digital Desire,” which repetitively depicts one cute cartoon character slitting another’s throat. “All of my works, I feel, are about the same thing: being obsessed with the digital image, memes, things that are found on the Internet and don’t exist in real life,” Andrade said. “I’m trying to pull it from that and put it on this newsprint, so it’s like organic material. The whole thing is that I’m obsessed with the image, and I’ve had it printed 40-plus times now. … The pink image was done in gel pen in the style of anime. They’re all original drawings, and I just printed over my drawings. I call them my ‘bad anime,’ so it’s poorly drawn, and [also] ‘bad’ as in morally wrong. It’s this funny, very violent image.” While my responses to the individual works varied widely, what impressed me about Keep Me in Your Prayers/Fears was the way it integrated performance art, traditional visual art and multimedia into a single show, a combination that is unfortunately uncommon in downtown galleries. Bringing that fusion into our city more frequently is one of TWMT’s goals, according to Andrade: “You know, you have to have things that sell to pay rent … but we want more video, more performance art, things that aren’t sellable. We want people to see that, because when you go to Miami it’s there everywhere. We want to bring it to Orlando somehow.” skubersky@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

[ restaurant review ]
by Faiyaz Kara
We reported back in August that Barcelona Restaurant & Wine Bar would be moving into the Marketplace at Dr. Phillips. But co-founder Andy Pforzheimer told me that he’s planning to open sister resto Bartaco in the space next to Christini’s instead. Bartaco is a taqueria inspired by beach culture in Punta del Este, Uruguay, and Buzios, Brazil. Look for it later this summer. oPenInGS Canvas Restaurant and Market has opened in Lake Nona’s Laureate Park … Nova in Ivanhoe Village will launch its soft opening this weekend (the patio, BTW, looks great) … Speaking of Ivanhoe Village, Gargi’s Lakeside in Gaston Edwards Park may become a Mexican restaurant, Mesa21, by fall 2016 … Speaking of Mexican restaurants, Verde Cantina, touting “Mexican soul food,” will move into the former Tijuana Flats space in Thornton Park … Whole Foods Market in Altamonte Springs is now open for business … Wahlburgers’ grand opening bash is set for Feb. 18 with Paul, Donnie, and Marky Mark in attendance; the restaurant opens Feb. 9 to the public.
rollin’ on the avenue Potential Park Avenue mainstay dishes impressive small plates, sushi and Japanese fusion By FAiyAz KARA UMI 525 S. Park Ave., Winter Park | 407-960-3993 | umiwinterpark.com | $$

S
ince Park Avenue mainstay Shiki Sushi vacated the space at 525 S. Park Avenue a decade or so ago after nearly 20 years in business, it gave way to a revolving door of sushi joints trying to fill the void with varying degrees of failure. Umi, the latest occupant, and one touting “Japanese fusion,” had enough self-generated marketing buzz to make you believe it was the Sushi Savior of Park Avenue. But stepping into this prospective pescatorial promised land didn’t exactly have us shouting its praises from the rooftops; not immediately, anyway. (That came later.) The space is bisected – bar on one side, main dining area on the other – and simply, and understatedly, adorned. A paneled screen from the Edo period is a distinguishing feature in the dining area, but so are the servers, many of whom appeared determined to please, even edify, guests. We listened intently while receiving a requisite lesson on the makeup of menu items that struck our server’s fancy. A whirr of descriptive English and Japanese ultimately manifested itself in dishes that
impressed in both presentation and palatability. A sunomono salad ($9) had more than just cucumbers. Much more. White fish, octopus, shrimp and crab all went into the superbly clean, citrusy and reasonably priced dish. Near-translucent slices of snapper ($12) cured in sake, kelp and salt were magnificent, even with a messy crown of microgreens, shiso and fried scallion. Our digits ensured the vinaigrette of truffle and ume (Japanese apricot) didn’t go to waste, unlike panko-crusted kimchi croquettes ($7). Though hearty and perfectly fried, these microgreened pan-Asian arancini stuffed with rice and bacon were the least arresting of the dishes we sampled. But our eyes widened when a whole robata-grilled squid ($11) brushed with yuzu butter made its appearance. Shortly thereafter, our stomachs duly took notice. A spicy yuzu kosho dip couldn’t have made a more perfect complement to the grilled squid. Another robata standout: plush, skewered rib-eye ($9). Even with another coif of ubiquitous microgreens, it was hard saying no to two sizable squares of chutoro ($15) sitting in a subtly sweet shiso sauce. It’s easily a special I’d order again (and again). Of the nearly 20
signature rolls, the namesake “Umi” ($14) was a crunchy, riceless wonder of rolled cucumber enveloping tuna, salmon, daikon and yamagobo (pickled carrot). It was nice to see that desserts, all made in-house, weren’t an afterthought. The mille-feuille ($6) was presented in deconstructed format with separate, but equally rich, puff pastry sticks and chocolate custard. Being a self-avowed Napoleon fanatic, I wholly endorse this unorthodox take. Panna cotta ($6) essenced with matcha, then topped with chocolate cookie and pine nut crumbles, was a valiant attempt at a fusion dessert, just not my (pardon the pun) cup of tea. A good variety of sake, be it junmai, junmai ginjo or junmai daiginjo, is offered, as well as nigori and soju-based cocktails. A focused (and interesting) wine list and a decent selection of Japanese beers pretty much guarantee imbibers will leave content. And content is how we left, knowing that, at long last, a sushi mainstay was in the making on the Avenue.

a tasty lunch shouldn’t cost more than $10, so here’s our latest roundup of suggestions for cheap eats. Got one for us? Send nom-nominations to jyoung@orlandoweekly.com. avenue Gastrobar 13 S. Orange Ave., 407-839-5039, avenuegastrobar.com A swanky spot in the CBD, versatile Avenue Gastrobar serves lunches and brunches as effortlessly as beer and cocktails. Indulge with the Avenue quesadilla, a melty concoction of chorizo, chicken, roasted red peppers, cheddar, caramelized onions and barbecue sauce, $8.50.
Handy Pantry 522 E. Amelia St., 407-423-8954 The beloved Lake Eola convenience store also serves sandwiches named after nearby streets. We like the Highland, which is basically a chicken club, though the American cheese takes the country-club shine off. It’s $7.49 with a pickle spear, a cookie and a bag of chips.
krungThep Tea Time 1051 W. Fairbanks Ave., Winter Park, 407-7333561, facebook.com/krungthepteatime Thai classics in sandwich form? Yes, please. Their version of gra-prow (basil chicken) takes surprisingly well to being pressed on pumpernickel: chicken, red pepper, onion, mozzarella and basil mayo, $8.
Mediterranean deli 981 W. Fairbanks Ave., 407-539-2650 As evidenced by multiple Best of Orlando wins, Med Deli is Orlando’s most popular affordable Middle Eastern. The gyro combo sandwich plus salad (we crave their tabbouleh) is $7.48.
neighborhood eatery 231 N. Magnolia Ave., 407-648-1050, orl-eats.com As you’d expect from a downtown lunch joint (open 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.), Neighborhood serves the basic range of sandwiches – but it’s the Korean section of the menu that catches our fancy. The bulgogi plate is satisfying at $8.99; the Insanity Fries, $4.99, live up to their name topped with onions, cheese, peppers, ranch dressing and a fried egg.

Pho 88 730 N. Mills Ave., 407-897-3488; also 9728 E. Colonial Drive, 407-930-7670, pho88orlando.com There’s nothing more warming, filling or comforting than a big bowl of beef pho, and they start at $8.50 at Pho 88.
Pizzeria del-dio 3210 E. Colonial Drive, 407-898-1115, pizzeriadel-dio.com A perennial Orlando fave that’s usually only thought of when the desire strikes for a delivered pie. But their lunch special, a 6-inch sub with fries and a drink, is a steal at $7.95 (try the classic hot pepper-and-egg).
Q’kenan 8117 Vineland Ave., 407-238-0014 Why not desayunos (breakfast) for lunch? It’s served down in tourist town at this tasty Venezuelan hole-in-the-wall until 2 p.m., and the Andino (tomato-onion-egg scramble, black beans, cheese and an arepa) sets you back only $7.50.
The Sanctum Café 715 N. Ferncreek Ave., 407-757-0346, thesanctumcafe.com Orlando’s latest vegan venture is a surprise hit, with lines out the door for brunch and weekend dinner, but lunch is still an easy get. Organic vegan goodness doesn’t come cheap, but the Karma Bowl (brown rice or quinoa with chef’s daily selection of bean or protein, roasted and fresh veggies, and your choice of sauce) is just $8.
Tasty wok 1246 E. Colonial Drive, 407-896-8988 The rows of shiny-skinned hanging ducks may make you want to splurge, but stick to the rice platters to keep costs under control. The “barbecued pig with crispy skin” platter comes with steamed white rice and Chinese broccoli for $7.75 – plenty of calories for relatively few dollars.

Kokino Trendy tapas joint hopes to draw a late-night Dr. Phillips crowd to its stylish confines. The fare won’t necessarily wow, but the 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 CONTINUED ON PaGe 22

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. The deep experience of the chefs clearly shows in plates of fried chicken, baked oysters and roasted duck hash. Do yourself a favor and 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; $$
El Patron Mexican Restaurant & Cantina Tourist sector Tex-Mex joint ups the ante somewhat with dishes bordering on gourmet. Must-order: mussels in a heavenly chorizo broth, though you won’t go wrong sampling the tacos (give duck al pastor a try). The plate of chile rellenos could feed a family. To end, housemade coconut tres leches will please. Open daily. 12167 S. Apopka Vineland Road, 407-238-5300; $$$ n

kids’ stuff The newest panda in the Kung Fu franchise is sillier than it is funny By Da n H u Da k
Kung Fu Panda 3
HHHHH
I
t’s amazing, but not altogether surprising, that after two movies Po is still a disaster of a panda bear. He’s become a kung fu master and saved his village from dastardly villains more than once, yet he’s still an unorthodox klutzy man-child who seems to destroy everything in his path. Perhaps expecting personal growth from an animated character is too much, but it’s a bit lazy to begin Kung Fu Panda 3 with a Po afflicted with the same flaws he had in the first two films. Jack Black voices Po, and Black’s lovable-buffoon screen persona has treated him well through the years. But with Po, it’s as if there’s a rule that he has to start every movie inept in some way, only to overcome the ineptitude by accident in the course of saving the day. In this instance, Po has no idea how to take over training duties when Master Shifu (Dustin Hoffman) decides to retire. Enter cohorts Monkey (Jackie Chan), Crane (David Cross), Mantis (Seth Rogen), Tigress (Angelina Jolie) and Viper (Lucy Liu), who try to help, but of course there are bigger issues at hand. A supernatural villain named Kai (J.K. Simmons) is a bull trapped in the spirit world. He seeks “chi,” an apparently bottleable energy that flows through all living things. You know, like the Force. Kai succeeds in taking Master Oogway’s (Randall Duk Kim) chi, and with it he ventures to

the mortal world to seek out the chi of other kung fu masters. A collision course with Po is obvious, but not until after Po finds his own chi, which comes from his long-lost father (Bryan Cranston) and scores of other pandas Po didn’t know existed. The 3-D is fine but not necessary, as the action moves quickly and isn’t always accentuated by the third dimension. However, Hans Zimmer’s musical score is catchy, and directors Alessandro Carloni and Jennifer Yuh Nelson find cuteness in new places this time, particularly Po’s equally childish father and the other pandas they encounter. Cranston, Simmons and Kate Hudson as a female panda hold their own as newcomers amongst the considerable ensemble; looking at the cast, it’d be great to see these actors together in a live-action film rather than an animated movie in which their skills are restrained by the cartoonishness of their characters. To the filmmakers’ credit, the story is a natural extension of the franchise’s universe, which temporarily obscures the fact that Kung Fu Panda 3 is a clear cash grab for DreamWorks Animation after the first two films earned a combined $380 million at the domestic box office. And like its predecessors, it’s sillier than it is funny, which makes sense given its pre-teen target demo. So as expected, there’s not much here for adults. But will those pre-teens like it? The screening I attended was full of youngsters, and the only sound I heard from them was consistent laughter, not chatter. Sounded like an endorsement to me. feedback@orlandoweekly.com

50 Shades of Black
The Finest Hours
By St ev e Sc H n e i D e r
Opening This week Fifty Shades of Black The parody film is a noble and often beneficial genre. From Support Your Local Sheriff to Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story to What We Do in the Shadows, there’s something almost heroic about spending an entire movie eviscerating another movie or group of movies. And there’s no market quite as rife for a lampoon as the subculture of suburban slap and tickle that grew up around the patently ridiculous Fifty Shades of Grey. Even better, Hollywood’s sarcastic answer flick cross-pollinates the dungeonbound dunder-headedness of Christian Grey with the overheated boinking of African-American erotic thrillers, which should make for double the ... oh shit, they gave it to a Wayans. Never mind. (R) The Finest Hours Boy, Hollywood cannot figure out what to do with director Craig Gillespie. After helming the acclaimed Lars and the Real Girl, he’s been bounced around between everything from the Fright Night remake to that Jon Hamm baseball picture Million Dollar Arm. Now Disney sets him loose on
a true-life disaster epic, one that concerns a daring 1952 rescue mission to save the crew of an oil tanker split in half by a cataclysmic nor’easter. Oh, and Ben Foster and Chris Pine are in it, speaking of chess pieces Tinseltown can’t figure out how to play. The smart money says this thing couldn’t be saved if the Mighty Thor showed up in the climax to battle CGI whales. (PG-13) Jane Got a Gun Hey, I’m always in the mood to find out what happened to Aerosmith heroines of 25 years ago. Unfortunately, Jane Got a Gun is Tyler-centric in name only – an Old West period piece in which homesteader Natalie Portman is threatened by the outlaw gang that offed her husband. Careful, boys! The title is a dead giveaway that Jane is packing heat, which makes this just another Natalie Portman movie in which the bullets fly the wrong way. The production notes reveal that Israel stood in for the Old West. Then again, when doesn’t it? (R)

sounded most exciting to us straight off the bat, and all of a sudden everything kind of had a fresh vigor about it.” Two more recording sessions followed, then the album was given some finishing touches. It was mixed on the road using a mobile studio setup as Def Leppard toured last summer, headlining a bill that also featured Styx and Tesla. Collen is fired up about Def Leppard’s latest work, calling it “the best thing we’ve done since Hysteria.” That’s no small statement. That 1987 album, which was the follow-up to the band’s breakthrough release, the seventimes platinum album Pyromania, was a blockbuster. Sales of Hysteria, which boasted such hits as “Animal” and “Pour Some Sugar on Me,” eventually topped 15 million and pushed Def Leppard to the very top among rock acts at the time. The group had one more huge hit with the next CD, Adrenalize, but when grunge became the next big rock trend, it helped push Def Leppard and other ’80s hard rock/metal acts out of the spotlight. Although Def Leppard continued to turn out new CDs on a regular basis, album sales declined. Nevertheless, the band remained a popular live act. For this tour, Def Leppard have guitarist Vivian Campbell back on tour, even though for a time it looked likely he would have to sit things out. In June 2013, Campbell announced that he had Hodgkin’s lymphoma. In July 2014, doctors told him that his cancer was in remission, but in June 2015, it returned. He was able to go through his Def Leppard tour in support of their newest album, which the latest treatment regimen while on tour this summer, and he will be with the band for band says is their best effort yet their winter dates.

Reverend Horton Heat
BY B AO L E - H U U
Two important local concert
institutions just notched big anniversaries: live series Southern Fried Sunday (10 years) and show promoter Norsekorea (five years). Presenting countless hours of high times and great bands, they’ve worked good and hard to become two of the most respected names in the Orlando music scene, so big salutes to them both for all their scene enrichment.

THE BEAT
Southern Fried Sunday’s blowout celebration (Jan. 17, Will’s Pub) met the occasion with sheer scale. What began as a scrappy little down-home gathering at the old Copper Rocket has, under the loving stewardship and supernova spirit of Jessica Pawli, graduated to a primetime cornerstone of the local scene, sometimes even spilling beyond the walls of its current base of operations at Will’s Pub and taking over other venues and lots along the Mills Avenue strip during special editions. For its momentous 10th anniversary, SFS popped the cork by bringing a studded large-venue package deal (Reverend Horton Heat, Unknown Hinson, Nashville Pussy and the Red Elvises) to the most colorful neighborhood in the city for a crazy bargain ($10 advance, $15 door). That there is going big. With the major headlining action happening on an outside stage in the Will’s Pub parking lot, the scene was total festival atmosphere, only with a shitload more motorcycles and hot rods than your usual. And the music justified the rumble. After some core lineup changes, Red Elvises frontman and guitarist Igor Yuzov
Nothing sums up just how deeply Southern Fried Sunday is woven into the cultural fabric like standing in the thick of the rocking congregation. rechristened the act Igor and the Red Elvises and built a new band that’s now all ladies. Smart man. But the goofygreat showmanship that’s made the Red Elvises such a stalwart party band? Still essentially the same, thankfully, with all the beloved show signatures (crowd-weaving conga line, drum solo, audience participation) still intact. Once the almighty Nashville Pussy got on, gears switched fast from campy Russian levity to unapologetically lurid American pulp. But like the Red Elvises – and all the other members of this tour for that matter – nothing much changes in what they deliver live. And when it’s a strapping set of ass-kicking, dick-swinging rock like this, that’s a very good thing. Also reliably solid was the Reverend Horton Heat. But the night’s single most special treat was when this headliner played as the backing band for cult hero Unknown Hinson. Now that’s a formidable setup worth triple the price of admission – if anything, just for the legendary guitar dream team of two outstanding leading men concentrated on one stage. Amid all the hard-rocking national headliners, however, some of the highlights of the event were the quietest. One was
local roots-rocker Mike Dunn doing a warm, chest-swelling acoustic cover of the Replacements’ “Bastards of Young.” The other was the Reverend Horton Heat himself praising local rockabilly trio the Wildtones onstage and then asking them offstage to tour with him. Nothing sums up just how far and deep Southern Fried Sunday has woven itself into the Orlando cultural fabric quite like standing there in the thick of the large, rocking congregation gathered for the celebration. Despite the significantly expanded special-event scale, it still had that famous familial vibe. That’s because, even more than a Horton Heat show, it was Southern Fried Sunday. That’s why it’s one of those truly great Orlando things. And this party was one for the ages. Miami heavy vanguard band Torche and rising new Tampa murderers Meatwound are pillars that guarantee one of the most monstrous bills money can buy today (Jan. 22, Will’s Pub). But in the guitar-dominated world of heavy music, this one was particularly interesting with the addition of Baltimore electronic gunner Jeff Carey. Like Author and Punisher’s little gamer brother, he rips extreme digital noise with a weird-ass rig commanded by pads, boards and a joystick (at least a few nerds probably just wet their pants right now). It’s the sound of cyborg warfare, and once his severe lighting array of all-white strobes and LEDs comes into play, it’s a full-sensory assault. Seriously, it’s insane. More visceral than musical, it’s not gonna shake any butts, but it’s a pretty undeniable live experience. baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

A Celebration of Harry Potter For those who didn’t already receive their invitation by owl, Universal’s annual Harry Potter extravaganza is back. In this event, wizards and witches gather in the streets of Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade to guzzle Butterbeer, stuff their faces with Chocolate Frogs and, on a more somber note, remember one of the franchise’s greatest stars, Alan Rickman, the sinister Professor Snape, who passed away this month. This year’s celebration features Q&A sessions with some of the films’ biggest stars – including Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley), Bonnie Wright (Ginny Weasley), Matthew Lewis (Neville Longbottom) and Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood) – along with an exhibition about the franchise’s global impact, an interactive mini-tour based on the Warner Bros. Studio Tour in London and a prop showcase where fans gain exclusive insights into the making of the Marauder’s Map, the Daily Prophet and other magical trinkets. The event is included in the price of admission, so if zealous robe-adorned wand-waving isn’t your thing, you may want to steer clear of the parks with the rest of the Muggles. – Deanna Ferrante

Bug-A-Palooza If you’re that friend who stops everyone from squishing the cockroach that sneaked into your apartment, Bug-A-Palooza might be the event for you. This hands-on celebration of bugs at Leu Gardens features your favorite insects, available to be held at the mini-petting zoo. After you finish immortalizing some creepy crawlers through pottery and sitting in on the educational segment about bees, make sure to check out David Rogers’ giant insect sculptures scattered throughout the gardens. While it is a family-friendly event, this might be a good day to leave your spouse who’s afraid of praying mantises and walking sticks at home. – Kim Slichter

Dream Arcade
Big Eyes
How do we only have one pop-up arcade? Is there somebody we can see about this? Either way, Spacebar’s Dream Arcade is going to be a pixel-stuffed blast. Craft beers, classic arcade games and nerdy delights abound as the bar is transformed into a Sega Dreamcast wonderland. That’s right, Sega’s late brainchild will be the only system running at the event – amazing news for those who miss the console dearly. If you’re looking to shake your tush during the festivities, DJ Mute City from Tampa and DJ Cop Church will be dropping phat beatz while you pummel a punkass in Marvel vs. Capcom 2. Who could ask for more? Oh, and did we mention it’s free? It’s free. So don’t feel like a wet blanket for rage-quitting when you drunkenly high-five the floor with your face. – Adam McCabe

MUSIC Since 2010, Big Eyes have been putting out bright, punky rock & roll on both coasts. A four-year stint being based out of Seattle, Washington, ended last year when frontwoman and songwriter Kait Eldridge returned to her home of New York City. Since her return, Big Eyes has played high-profile shows with the likes of Against Me! and Dillinger Four and put out a 7-inch single on powerhouse label Don Giovanni Records. This tour finds them about to enter the studio to record their third full-length record, so expect to hear some new material. – Thaddeus McCollum

DREAM ARCADE
Sunday, Jan. 31
Monday, Feb. 1
It may seem impossible to compare the gun owners of today with the slave owners of yesteryear and still have a whole room of Bostonians laughing, but somehow Australian comedian Jim Jefferies manages to do it. Jefferies has made a big name for himself on the comedy stage with his insightfully profane take on all those topics that everyone tells you not to talk about: sex, politics, alcoholism, drug use and religion. Like Washington crossing the Delaware, Jefferies is rolling with the success of his latest Netflix comedy special, Bare, and charging on with the Freedumb Tour, which makes a doubleheader at the Plaza Live this Sunday. If the 2016 zeitgeist is to laugh at politicians and learn from comedians, then you won’t want to miss Jefferies’ class. – Marissa Mahoney
MUSIC Every year, noise legend Frank Falestra, best known by his nom de guerre, Rat Bastard, emits a high-pitched whistling tone that attracts noise bands and scene fans from around the country. As they scuttle like vermin toward Miami and their King Rodent, more than 150 bands will stream through the state of Florida on their way to the five-day fest. Along the way, various pre-INC shows coalesce, and Orlando gets its treat-before-the-meat again this year Monday night – 11 bands, all hewing to the time-honored “15 minutes and GTFO” rule of INC as they drone, distort, scream and circuit-bend. Dea Lapsus’ performances as Norse Shit Band (Lakeland) resemble an amplified exorcism or tantrum, as she rolls on the floor shrieking, giggling, and breaking everything she can get her hands on, while Orlando’s own Trotsky’s Watercooler wrings improvised mats of squelch and rattle and buzz from a roomful of modified and homebuilt analog synths, pedals and effects stations. If you survive Monday at Lou’s, you should consider a road trip to Miami to witness the main event. – Jessica Bryce Young

Loudpvck
M u s i C Kenny Beats and Ryan Marks, the two producers who comprise the genre-jumping duo known as Loudpvck (pronounced “loud pack,” a reference to a bag of weed with a particularly strong scent), had a banner year in 2015, putting out their first EP, Botany, and collaborating with everyone from Zeds Dead to Blink-182’s Travis Barker. The pair have a reputation for eclecticism, blending Latin and moombahton influences into their big-room trap, so expect some surprises during their set. – TM

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Do you know Emily Brontë’s novel, Wuthering Heights? At one point, the heroine, Catherine, tells her friend about Edgar, a man she’s interested in. “He wanted all to lie in an ecstasy of peace,” Catherine says, “and I wanted all to sparkle and dance in a glorious jubilee. I said his heaven would be only half alive; and he said mine would be drunk: I said I should fall asleep in his; and he said he could not breathe in mine.” If you’re a typical Aries, you’re more aligned with Catherine than with Edgar. But I’m hoping you might consider making a temporary compromise in the coming weeks. “At last, we agreed to try both,” Catherine concluded, “and then we kissed each other and were friends.” TAURUS (April 20-May 20) People turn to Tauruses for help staying grounded. They love to soak up your down-to-earth pragmatism. They want your steadfastness to rub off on them, to provide them with the stability they see in you. You should be proud of this service you offer! It’s a key part of your appeal. Now and then, though, you need to demonstrate that your stalwart dependability is not static and stagnant – that it’s strong exactly because it’s flexible and adaptable. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to emphasize this aspect of your superpower. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) When winter comes, pine trees that grow near mountaintops may not be able to draw water and minerals from the ground through their roots. The sustenance they require is frozen. Luckily, their needle-like leaves absorb moisture from clouds and fog, and drink in minerals that float on the wind. Metaphorically speaking, this will be your preferred method for getting nourished in the coming weeks. For the time being, look UP to obtain what you need. Be fed primarily by noble ideals, big visions, divine inspiration and high-minded people. CANCER (June 21-July 22) We all go through phases when we are at odds with people we love. Maybe we’re mad at them, or feel hurt by them, or can’t comprehend what they’re going through. The test of our commitment is how we act when we are in these moods. That’s why I agree with author Steve Hall when he says, “The truest form of love is how you behave toward someone, not how you feel about them.” The coming weeks will be an important time for you to practice this principle with extra devotion – not just for the sake of the people you care about, but also for your own physical, mental and spiritual health. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) After fighting and killing each other for years on end, the Roman and Persian armies agreed to a truce in 532 A.D. The treaty was optimistically called “The Endless Peace.” Sadly, “endless” turned out to be just eight years. By 540, hostilities resumed. I’m happy to announce, though, that your prospects for accord and rapprochement are much brighter. If you work diligently to negotiate an endless peace anytime between now and March 15, it really is likely to last a long time. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) “I shiver, thinking how easy it is to be totally wrong about people, to see one tiny part of them and confuse it for the whole.” Author Lauren Oliver wrote that, and now I’m offering it to you, just in time for your Season of Correction and Adjustment. The coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to get smarter about evaluating your allies – and maybe even one of your adversaries as well. I expect you will find it relatively easy, even pleasurable, to overcome your misimpressions and deepen your incomplete understandings. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) In June 1942, the U.S. Navy crushed Japanese naval forces at the Battle of Midway. It was a turning
50
lulu Eig ht B a l l
point that was crucial to America’s ultimate victory over Japan in World War II. One military historian called it “the most stunning and decisive blow in the history of naval warfare.” This milestone occurred just six months after Japan’s devastating attack on U.S. forces at Pearl Harbor. To compare your life to these two events may be bombastic, but I’m in a bombastic mood as I contemplate your exciting possibilities. I predict that in the second half of 2016, you’ll claim a victory that will make up for a loss or defeat you endured during the last few months of 2015. And right now is when you can lay the groundwork for that future triumph. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Playwright Edmond Rostand (1868-1918) had a lot of friends, and they often came to visit him uninvited. He found it hard to simply tell them to go away and leave him alone. And yet he hated to be interrupted while he was working. His solution was to get naked and write for long hours while in his bathroom, usually soaking in the bathtub. His intrusive friends rarely had the nerve to insist on socializing. In this way, Rostand found the peace he needed to create his masterpiece Cyrano de Bergerac, as well as numerous other plays. I suggest you consider a comparable gambit. You need to carve out some quality alone time. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) “I opened my mouth, almost said something. Almost. The rest of my life might have turned out differently if I had. But I didn’t.” The preceding reminiscence belongs to a character in Khaled Hosseini’s novel The Kite Runner. I bring it up in hopes that you will do the opposite: Say the words that need to be said. Articulate what you’re burning to reveal. Speak the truths that will send your life on a course that’s in closer alignment with your pure intentions. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) According to some traditional astrologers, Capricorns are vigilant to avoid loss. Old horoscope books suggest that you may take elaborate measures to avoid endangering what you have accumulated. To ensure that you will never run out of what you need, you may even ration your output and limit your self-expression. This behavior is rooted in the belief that you should conserve your strength by withholding or even hiding your power. While there may be big grains of truth in this conventional view of Capricorns, I think it’s only part of the story. In the coming weeks, for instance, I bet you will wield your clout with unabashed authority. You won’t save yourself for later; you’ll engage in no strategic self-suppression. Instead, you will be expansive and unbridled as you do whatever’s required to carry out the important foundation work that needs to be done. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) “It seems that the whole time you’re living this life, you’re thinking about a different one instead,” wrote Latvian novelist Inga Abele in her novel High Tide. Have you ever been guilty of that? Probably. Most of us have at one time or another. That’s the bad news. The good news is that the coming months will bring you excellent opportunities to graduate forever from this habit. Not all at once, but gradually and incrementally, you can shed the idea that you should be doing something other than what you’re doing. You can get the hang of what it’s like to thoroughly accept and embrace the life you are actually living. And now is an excellent time to get started in earnest on this project. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) “Even nightingales can’t be fed on fairy tales,” says a character in Ivan Turgenev’s novel Fathers and Sons. In other words, these marvelous birds, which sing sublimely and have long been invoked by poets to symbolize lyrical beauty, need actual physical sustenance. They can’t eat dreamy stories. Having acknowledged that practical fact, however, I will suggest that right now you require dreamy stories and rambling fantasies and imaginary explorations almost as much as you need your daily bread. Your soul’s hunger has reached epic proportions. It’s time to gorge.

B Y D A N S AVA G E Down to business: Christmas came and went, and every present I bought for my extraordinary husband could be opened in front of our children. He deserves better, and I have a particular gift in mind for Valentine’s Day. My husband has expressed an interest in sounding, something we’ve attempted only with my little finger. He seemed to enjoy it! But the last thing I want to do is damage his big, beautiful dick. So is sounding a fun thing? Is sounding a safe thing? Recommendations for a beginner’s sounding kit? Or should I scrap the idea and just get him another butt plug? Safety Of Sounding P.S. Here is a picture of the big, beautiful dick I don’t want to damage.
Sounding, for those of you who didn’t go to the same Sunday school I did, involves the insertion of smooth metal or plastic rods into the urethra. Sounding is sometimes done for legitimate medical purposes (to open up a constricted urethra, to locate a blockage), and it’s sometimes done for legitimate erotic purposes (some find the sensation pleasurable, and others are turned on by the transgression, particularly when a man is being sounded, i.e., the penetrator’s penetrator penetrated). So, yeah, some people definitely think sounding is a fun thing, SOS. “But whether or not something is a safe thing depends on knowledge of the risks/pitfalls and an observance of proper technique,” said Dr. Keith D. Newman, a urologist and a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons. “The urethral lining has the consistency of wet paper towels and can be damaged easily, producing scarring. And the male urethra takes a bend just before the prostate. Negotiating that bend takes talent, and that’s where most sounding injuries occur.” Recreational cock sounders – particularly newbies – shouldn’t attempt to push past that bend. But how do you know when you’ve arrived at that bend? “SOS’s partner should do the inserting initially,” said Dr. Newman, “as the bend in the urethra is easily recognized by the soundee. Once he is clear on his cues – once he understands the sensations, what works, and when the danger areas are reached – SOS can participate safely with insertion.” And cleanliness matters, SOS, whether you’re sounding the husband or serving burritos to the public. “Infection is always an issue,” said Dr. Newman. “Clean is good, but the closer to sterile the better. And be careful about fingers. They can be more dangerous than sounds because of the nails and difficulty in sterilizing.” So for the record, SOS: Your previous attempts at sounding – those times you jammed your little finger into your husband’s piss slit – were more dangerous than the sounding you’ll be doing with
the lovely set of stainless-steel sounding rods you’ll be giving your hubby on Valentine’s Day. Moving on … “Spit is not lube,” said Dr. Newman. “Water- or silicone-based lubes are good; oil-based is not so good with metal instruments.” (You can also go online and order little single-serving packets of sterile lubricant. Don’t ask me how I know this.) Using “glass or other breakable instruments” as sounds is a Very Bad Idea. Dr. Newman was pretty emphatic on this point – and while it sounds like a fairly obvious point, anyone who’s worked in an ER can tell you horror stories about all the Very Bad Ideas they’ve retrieved from people’s urethras, vaginas and rectums. Now let’s go shopping! “Choosing the best ‘starter kit’ is not hard: Pratt Dilators are not hard to find online, they’re not that expensive, and they will last a lifetime,” said Dr. Newman. (I found a set of Pratt Dilators on Amazon for less than $30.) And when your set arrives, SOS, don’t make the common mistake of starting with the smallest/skinniest sound in the pack. “Inserting something too small allows wiggle room on the way in and for a potential to stab the urethral wall,” said Dr. Newman. The doc’s next safety tip will make sense after you’ve seen a set of Pratt Dilators: “Always keep the inserted curve facing one’s face, meaning the visible, external curve facing away toward one’s back.” You can gently stroke your husband’s cock once the sound is in place, SOS; you can even blow him. Vaginal intercourse is off the table, obviously, and you might not wanna fuck his big beautiful dick with a sound until you’re both feeling like sounding experts. And when that time comes: Don’t stab away at his cock with a sound in order to sound-fuck him. A quality sound has some weight and heft – hold his erection upright, slowly pull the well-lubricated, non-glass sound until it’s almost all the way out and then let go. It will sink back without any help from you. Your husband’s butt should be plug-free during your sounding sessions, SOS, as a plug could compress a section his urethra. If you’re skilled enough to work around the bend – or if you’re foolish enough to push past it – the sound could puncture his compressed urethra. And a punctured urethra is every bit as unpleasant as it sounds. (Sorry.) Finally, SOS, what about coming? Will your husband’s balls explode if he blows a load while a metal rod is stuffed in his urethra? “Coming with the sound in place is a matter of personal preference,” said Dr. Newman. “There is no particular danger involved.” P.S. Thank you for the picture. On the Lovecast, porn star Bailey Jay on the perils and pleasures of letting your dirty photos out: savagelovecast.com.
