Lookin’ down the barrel of a cracker

FREE | NO V. 11-17, 20 15

“The only thing that stops a random guy at Cracker Barrel is a clumsy guy who, after improperly securing his firearm to his person, drops it and discharges a round into said random guy’s leg,” said an NRA spokesperson (“A gun fell out of a man’s holster and shot a guy at a Sanford Cracker Barrel,” Nov. 3). He said this to me at a Cracker Barrel. He was standing over my table, sort of blocking me from leaving. I had been eating chicken fried steak. I tried to ignore him, but he was speaking pretty loudly. People were staring a little bit. I was trying to keep my eyes focused on my plate. I had corn and mashed potatoes as sides. I had really been looking forward to this meal. He said, a little too loudly, that guns don’t shoot random Cracker Barrel patrons, people do. Very, very irresponsible people who are not currently in control of their firearms. People who probably suffer from mental illness. It was probable, he said. It was virtually guaranteed, he said. He then brought out a photocopied graph demonstrating how increased public firearmrelated incidents could not possibly be related to increased firearm carry. He tried to hand it to me, but when I didn’t accept it, he set it down on the empty placemat across from me. The corner of the paper absorbed some water from a little puddle of condensation on the table. He continued that, anyway, if the gun did do it, say, maybe if some guns are alive and have rich interior lives – like in the screenplay he has sent to Pixar at least 15 times but has not heard a response about – if that happened, the guy who got shot probably deserved it. They’re looking into it, he told me, but they’re really siding with the gun here so far, you know, with the evidence they’ve found. Blushing, he sort of yelled, “More guns are definitely, definitely good. And also there should be more of them in more places. Like Bob Evans and Waffle House.” He then dropped $300 on my table and scurried over to the black SUV with black tinted windows that was parked out front. I could see it through the curtains hanging over my table. The SUV zipped away as soon as his door closed. I was left with many questions, but I suppose I already know the answers to most of them, if I’m honest. And if I’m honest, I want to be honest all the time these days.

SunRail to end nighttime service

as determined by the U.S. Housing and Urban Development’s income guidelines. According to the request for proposals, 5 percent of the units must be reserved for permanent housing for the homeless. The parcels of land where the city wants to put this development are currently owned by the city and its Community Redevelopment Agency. The biggest parcel is a 5.07-acre site, and the others are .29 and .70 acres each. The project will have to combine all three parcels into a single “planned development.” The city held an informational meeting at City Hall for developers last week. Development proposals are due Dec. 4. – Erin Sullivan

Beginning dec. 21, SunRail will

ditch its late-night train for a mid-afternoon ride, officials say. Ridership lagged on the late-night train, which debuted late last year and offered a train that left the Sand Lake Road station at 10:20 p.m. and arrived in DeBary at 11:23 p.m. It will completely stop running Friday, Dec. 18. SunRail will instead offer a 1 p.m. ride out of DeBary; the 12:30 p.m. train departing DeBary will be bumped to noon. According to SunRail project manager Miguel Torres, the goal will be to attract the “leisure rider” who might be interested in daytime jaunts to Orlando or Winter Park for lunch. – Colin Wolf

Orlando Police officers used force on 3,100 people in the past five years.

City seeks proposals for marketrate and affordable housing development in Parramore

A 10-month investigation by

the Orlando Sentinel found 3,100 people had been “hit, kicked, pepper-sprayed, shocked or had some other force used on them” by the Orlando Police Department between 2010 to 2014. According to the Sentinel’s investigation, officers injured 1,900 suspects during this period, with 1,200 of those injured requiring medical treatment. When the agency used force, the paper says, 55 percent of the time it was on black suspects, while only 28 percent of Orlando’s population is black. The use of force and the number of suspects injured peaked in 2012, but has since declined, according to the Sentinel.

Just days after an election where the city’s lack of affordable housing – and affordability of life in Orlando in general – was the talk of the town, the city of Orlando announced that it’s seeking proposals from developers interested in creating a mixed-income housing project in the Parramore area that incorporates affordable housing, market-rate housing and “permanent supportive housing units” for the chronically homeless. The project will consist of up to 182 townhomes and multifamily “flats,” 25 percent of which will be reserved for individuals with low and moderate incomes, 6

The report also found OPD used force in 5.6 percent of arrests, which is double the rate of similar-size agencies. The city is currently facing 30 pending excessive-force lawsuits, and Orlando and its insurer have already paid out $3.6 million in police-brutality claims. – Monivette Cordeiro

Tar globs wash up on Cocoa Beach large globs of tar started

mysteriously washing up on shore around Cocoa Beach last week. According to various news outlets, the “pancakesized tar globs” began washing up on Nov. 5, between 4th Street South and 5th Street South, just four blocks south of the Minuteman Causeway. Typically, tar globs occur when spilled oil mixes and rolls with loose sand and seashells, and, unfortunately, they aren’t really all that uncommon. The exact source is usually difficult to pinpoint, but suspects include anything from oil rigs, boats with unfiltered bilges, oil pipelines and even natural seepage. At this time, the cause of the Cocoa Beach tar globs has not been determined, and the U.S. Coast Guard was overseeing cleanup. – CW

One of the first venues Gram Parsons ever played gets historic designation For more than a year, the derry

Down Project in Winter Haven has been working to preserve Gram Parsons’ legacy in Central Florida by restoring a youth center established in 1964 that was the first venue where Parsons played with his first professional group. Part of preserving the venue, known as the Derry Down Building, was an initiative to have it acknowledged as an official historic site. On Nov. 5 (fittingly on Parsons’ birthday), the Derry Down Project and Main Street Winter Haven unveiled a shiny new historic marker issued by the Florida Department of State, signifying the building as a place that helped “elevate Winter Haven as a destination for traveling groups in the region.” The Derry Down Building was first opened in 1964 by Winter Haven businessman Bob Parsons who wanted to give his stepson, Gram Parsons, a place to play with his band the Shilos. Gram Parsons eventually went on to play with the Byrds, and later founded country-rock band the Flying Burrito Brothers. – Ashley Belanger feedback@orlandoweekly.com

Case dismissed Federal judge throws out lawsuit over transvaginal ultrasounds, sonography students cannot refile case By Mon ivett e Cor d ei r o

nently discontinued the use of student volunteers for transvaginal ultrasounds and moved on from the incident, the students involved say in court documents they are still dealing with the aftermath of a procedure that routinely violated them and upended their lives.

hen female sonography students filed a lawsuit in May against Valencia College for allegedly browbeating them to undergo weekly transvaginal ultrasounds, the news made national headlines. The school came under fire after students said if they didn’t volunteer for the procedure, which involves inserting a probe into the vagina to look at reproductive organs, they would have to leave the program or be “blacklisted” from working at local hospitals. To many, the case appeared an easy win for the students against the college, but five months and multiple court proceedings later, the controversy surrounding the school died down – and so did the case. Late last month, U.S. District Judge Gregory Presnell quietly dismissed the lawsuit against Valencia College with prejudice, which means students can’t file again, and ordered the clerk to close the file. “We appreciate the court’s thoughtful review and well-reasoned decision,” says Carol Traynor, spokeswoman for the college. And while Valencia College perma-

he final complaint filed on behalf of three students by their attorney, Winter Park lawyer Christopher Dillingham, alleged that during a 2013 orientation for the sonography program, another student nicknamed the “TransVag Queen” told students that a faculty member told her “she could go somewhere else” if she didn’t want to undergo the probes, but she ultimately became comfortable with the procedure, hence the nickname. Despite all three women responding in a questionnaire that they were uncomfortable with the procedure, a faculty member sent each of them an email saying students who did not agree to volunteer as patients for their classmates would not be allowed to participate or practice transvaginal scanning in the lab. The students said

●

faculty told them if they didn’t undergo the ultrasound, some hospitals would not allow them to perform it on patients. Later on, the students did go to local hospital to practice on actual patients. After the orientation, the students were given a waiver to sign, which two of the students in the complaint signed. In their affidavits, the women said no one gave them the option of practicing on anatomically correct sensor dummies, which were available at the school and which are commonly used at other colleges. The first student refused to undergo the ultrasound, but the two other students underwent the procedure routinely, which they said often hurt, and were “discouraged” from using their menstrual cycles as an excuse not to be probed. There was also a male student allowed to practice transvaginal ultrasounds on women in the class, the affidavits say. The three students say after being harassed by faculty and their complaints ignored by Valencia College, all three dropped out, losing thousands of dollars in tuition, books and other expenses. In affidavits, they say the procedures affected their psychological health and strained their personal relationships; some even took medication. All three are going to mental health counselors. “I cannot return to Valencia College’s Medical Sonography Program knowing I could be forced to undergo more transvaginal probes,” the third student says. “It was the worst academic experience of my life.” Valencia College asked U.S. District Judge Gregory Presnell to dismiss the lawsuit in September, saying the students withdrew from the program before any actual harm, like a “specific course grade reduction or lost job opportunity” could happen and were now seeking damages by “artificially sensationalizing and inappropriately sexualizing their voluntary participation in clinical exercise.” Dillingham, who declined to comment for this story, argued that Valencia College had violated students’ First Amendment right to free speech and Fourth Amendment right against illegal search and seizure. Part of the relief students sought was for the school to permanently cease and desist its policy of forced vaginal probing of students, but they also wanted the right to be reinstated at the college. “Valencia College’s official and unofficial policies and customs encouraged, caused, allowed and/or enabled the individual Defendants to violate Plaintiff’s constitutional rights without fear of discipline for those violations,” Dillingham writes in the

amended complaint form. “All Plaintiffs suffered psychological damages as a result of Valencia’s policies and procedures.” But it was precisely this argument – that Valencia College had violated students’ First and Fourth Amendment rights – that may have led to the case’s end. In a 10-page order signed Oct. 28, Judge Presnell dismissed the lawsuit with prejudice, arguing that the college is protected under Florida’s “qualified immunity,” which “protects municipal officers from liability as long as their conduct does not violate clearly established statutory or constitutional rights of which a reasonable person would have known.” Furthermore, Presnell writes that the students’ complaints about the program did not amount to protected speech because “it is the role of teachers, and not federal judges, to define a school’s educational curriculum – the courts may only step in when the decision to censor ... student expression has no valid educational purpose.” Regarding the alleged violation against students’ Fourth Amendment rights, Presnell says Valencia College wasn’t benefiting the government when administrators probed students. “Their intent to help Valencia maintain its unique program and educate students on how to perform transvaginal ultrasounds does not implicate the Fourth Amendment,” the decision says. Professor Lyrissa Lidsky, who specializes in First Amendment law at the University of Florida, agrees with Presnell’s arguments. She says that although asking students to submit to transvaginal exams is an “unreasonable request,” it’s not a free speech violation because if the students’ allegations are true, faculty retaliated against students for refusing to submit to the probe, not for protesting about the probe. Lidsky says it appeared that the students’ lawyer was trying to force the case into a constitutional tort in order to bring action against the state and pursue damages. Because the case was dismissed with prejudice, the students will have to appeal that designation first if they want to go forward, which can be difficult. “Obviously, just because the lawsuit was dismissed, it doesn’t mean the behavior of the college, if it’s what was asserted, is acceptable,” she says. “If the college is browbeating students to force them to accept transvaginal sonograms, that’s highly problematic and should be stopped immediately. Bad behavior can still be bad behavior even if it’s not a violation of the First and Fourth Amendment.” mcordeiro@orlandoweekly.com

Brewery or bust Make a microbrewery tour part of your next staycation By BeRn a RD WilCHu S ky

e’re big fans of the staycation here at the Weekly. Why spend all that money to pack up and go to some far-flung locale when there are so many adventures waiting close to home? For instance, you could have yourself a lost weekend – you could probably have a whole lost week – touring the region’s burgeoning brew scene. We tasked a small cabal of booze nerds to find as many local breweries with tasting rooms as they could, and we’ve organized them into three staycation brew-tour lists: one for breweries right in Orlando’s backyard, perfect for an afternoon adventure; one for breweries a little further out that make for the perfect day trip; and one for when you need a debaucherous, beer-saturated weekend getaway. Get ready to hit the road – with your designated drivers or Uber apps, please – to experience some of the best beer Central Florida has to offer. (Note: There are other breweries in the region that don’t have tasting rooms – some of them will be pouring at the Orlando Beer Festival on Nov. 14. See page 27 for a list of participating breweries.)

working in brewing,” Cheek says. “But the other girls, serving behind the bar or in the office, would ask me questions about the brewing process, and eventually the light came on, that we needed to get them back [in the brewery].” Cheek pitched the Babes Brew series to the other female employees, who quickly bought in. The women then spent weeks meeting off-shift, brainstorming recipes and beer names and label designs until Cheek’s crew, eventually, home-brewed what would become Girl Stout. The rest is minty, malty history. And the Babes Brew’s Girl Stout arrived at a turning point in beer’s history. According to the Brewers Association, women aged 18-35 now make up more than 15 percent of craft beer drinkers. A 2015 Gallup poll shows that craft beer has supplanted white wine as the libation of choice for women within that age bracket. “It’s not really surprising to me,” Cheek says. “New breweries are popping up left and right. Craft beer is all over the place, and if you’re around it enough, you’re going to find something you like.” There’s something else going on here, too. Whenever a domestic commodity or service traditionally provided or performed by women experiences an eco-

Girl Stout’s also the most popular entry in the Babes Brew series, featuring beers crafted start to finish by Orlando Brewing’s deep and talented female staff. Marketing, public relations, graphic design, community outreach and, of course, brewing – they tackle it all. McGinn, for instance, runs the brewery’s PR and serves behind the tasting room bar. But today, McGinn’s the eponymous “babe.” That’s part of the concept, set by former brewery operations manager/proto-Babe Megan Cheek and sustained under current taproom manager Crystal Jones: A female Orlando Brewing employee must participate while a Babes Brew beer is, well, brewed. “I’d never brewed anything before sitting on the Babes Brews, and now I absolutely love it,” McGinn says. “The smells during the brews – it’s like freshbaked bread. In the early morning, there’s

ary McGinn trudges up to Orlando Brewing’s chain link gate. She produces a jangle-y keyring from her satchel, and after a brief struggle with the padlock, rolls the hulking thing open. “Well, it’s go time,” McGinn says. It’s 7:30 a.m. and the cool October sun is just breaking, casting a low yellow glow across the brewery’s riveted exterior. It’s the kind of crisp fall morning that portends a dandy of an afternoon sipping beers on a swell porch or patio somewhere. And McGinn and I are here – why else? – to talk about beer. Particularly, this morning’s brew: the third and final run of Orlando Brewing’s Girl Stout. It’s a dry, peppermint-chocolate stout that bears more than a passing likeness to a Girl Scout cookie you may have tried once or twice.

nothing better.” We enter the brewery, where the brewmaster, Graeme Lay, has begun the mash. That aroma of barley and malt, just as she described, fills the air. McGinn sits at a card table-turned-desk by the door, retrieving the brew’s ingredient list from a drift of charts and manifests before her. She’ll need sacks of peppermint and tworow barley, caramel galore, a potpourri of hops and a whole mess of chocolate. “Of all the Babes Brews I’ve been on, Girl Stout is definitely my favorite,” McGinn says. “It’s a great beer, of course, but it’s also sentimental for me. I was a Girl Scout growing up. I would sell those cookies door to door. And I know many of our customers feel the same way.” Babes Brew releases have become some of Orlando Brewing’s most anticipated events. And “events” – connoting occasions, happenings – is the appropriate word, especially for Girl Stout. The first batch tapped last year became the brewery’s fastest-selling beer ever. Cheek dreamt up Babes Brew during her time overseeing daily brewing operations – ordering the hops, setting the brew schedule and noticing a distinct lack of female compatriots in the brewery. “Before Babes Brew, I was the only girl

nomic boom – think “artisanal” coffee or top-shelf wine, cooking and, indeed, brewing – it seems like men step in, say “We’ll take it from here,” and block women, intentionally or otherwise, from the most prestigious positions within that industry. Big Beer in America certainly followed that pattern. Brewing powerhouses furnished with Busches and Coorses and Juniors and Seniors rose to prominence in the mid-19th century, dominating for a century and half what had historically been a woman-run activity. “The first brewers in human history were women,” Cheek observes. “I have a tattoo of the Mesopotamian hieroglyph for ‘brewer’ – and it’s of a woman brewing. Throughout the Middle Ages, women owned the majority of pubs and brewed most of the beer. It’s nothing new, but we do need to see more of it today.” Which we are. With craft beer, we’re watching a multibillion-dollar industry’s gender imbalance correct itself. Women aren’t only drinking more craft beer. They’re founding breweries – such as Denizen’s Brewing in Washington, D.C. – taking executive positions at America’s largest craft breweries – such as Christine Perich, New Belgium’s ascendant CEO –

and, as the Babes can attest, brewing more beer. McGinn hands me a mesh bag of peppermint the size of a football. She and Lay are weighing the cocoa nibs and other ingredients, scooping them into mesh steeping pouches like oversized teabags to pitch into the brew. The two brewers then put on their protective eyewear and walk onto a metal platform to check the brew kettle. McGinn sticks her head in the opening, taking a deep whiff of the mash. She breaks into a smile. On a personal level, Cheek and McGinn both say working on the Babes Brew series bestows a sense of pride in Orlando Brewing’s female employees. They’re not just the faces of Orlando Brewing anymore, Cheek says. They are the brewery. And they have the beer to prove it. “After brewing the first Girl Stout, they knew everything about it. They had ownership of it,” Cheek says. “Not only are the girls behind the bar pouring it and serving it to customers, but they can also say ‘I brewed that, and you’re drinking it right now.’ It feels great.” Thirsty yet?

Yes, Orlando’s burgeoning stable of craft beer bars and brewpubs makes the news so often that “news” may not be the right word for it anymore. Some might even feel the constant backslapping over how good – even great – our city’s beer scene has become is a little bit trite. A true craftbrew hub would be more demure about its beer bona fides, right?

pick-ups. The Thirsty Topher’s petrified oak bar has been the gold standard for craft beer this side of Corrine Drive. And of course there’s Virginia’s shiny new toy, Ten10 Brewing. Since the brewery’s soft opening this past summer, head brewer and owner Mike Wallace has built an impressive lineup of beers – mango IPAs, altbiers, red ales – and an even larger local following. “The response has been great. We could barely keep enough beer flowing at first, but now we’re in a groove,” Wallace says. “Opening a brewery has been my dream since I was in high school home-brewing with my friends.” This cluster of businesses provides craft-beer lovers with myriad options within walking distance to get their suds on. According to Thirsty Topher co-owner Ron DiDonato, that bar-to-bar hoppability has been sorely lacking in Orlando’s neighborhoods. “Virginia Drive’s a safe, relaxed, yet fun little strip,” DiDonato says. “People

around here have wanted an alternative to downtown for a good time for a while. Ever since we opened Topher, we’ve wanted this neighborhood to become that place.” DiDonato and company may be closing shop on Alden Road on Nov. 15, but that’s only to move closer to their peers: The Thirsty Topher will reopen next year at 601 Virginia Drive. “We love this neighborhood, this street – everyone’s been so welcoming to us,” DiDonato says. “It’s not a cutthroat environment; we aren’t competing for anything. We take care of each other. We all support each other.” DiDonato believes Virginia Drive’s best days are still to come. “Orlando’s going to become the Nashville of craft beer in the South,” DiDonato says. “And Virginia will be the backbone of that scene.” So keep your eyes peeled, Orlando beer nerds. The suds, they are a-changin’. feedback@orlandoweekly.com

its favorite root, the competent chaps at Funky Buddha down south in Oakland Park created this full-bodied, decadently sweet beverage that combines the earthy flavors of sweet potatoes with notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar and vanilla. Close your eyes, take a sip, and you’ll wonder who filled your glass with yams smothered in gooey marshmallows. Needless to say, this beer pairs perfectly with Thanksgiving dinner. Cigar City Dark Woods Many pumpkin ale enthusiasts have already lauded CCB’s Good Gourd, but those of us who have graduated to more esoteric styles are ready for Dark Woods, an old ale brewed with molasses and aged on toasted white oak. Continuing a series that began last year with a chocolate imperial porter, 2015’s Dark Woods is even richer and more perplexing than its forerunner. With a name inspired by a 19th century legend about a lost traveler and a mysterious, hooded alchemist, what the future holds for this exciting new series only a conjurer could tell.

The high life An ode to cheap beer By Matt Sti e B

’m a lucky man, for most often my wallet and taste buds agree. With beer, my alcoholic vice of choice, the pair decides in favor of the cheap stuff. There’s never been a miserly joy like the fool’s gold hue and feeble head of a $2 tallboy cracked open at an arctic temperature. Plus, a dollar tip on a $2 beer is a big-ass tip, percentage-wise. Someday, that’s the type of logic that will make me a good dad. At the opposite end of the taste/price matrix, though, there lies craft beer. In 1979, in the most important amendment in alcohol law since Prohibition, Jimmy Carter deregulated the beer industry, opening up the marketplace for microbreweries. The field maintained steady growth until the new millennium, when demand and ABVs skyrocketed. According to the Brewers Association, craft beer had an economic impact of $2.05 billion in Florida last year. I’m no craft prohibitionist – arguing against a multibillion-dollar business is op-ed suicide. However, these small, seasonal batches with quippy names and gorgeous cans have been riding the hype for too long. A couple of years ago, I decided to quit purchasing fancy beers because I was sick of this low-stakes game of Russian Roulette with my taste buds. Rarely could the dense flavors compen-

sate for the sticker price, so my wallet told my brain to shut it down. I don’t care about unique coriander tones – the smell that I associate with craft beer is a roommate’s home-brewing efforts that harassed the kitchen with the yeasty aroma of a YMCA locker room. I don’t want to talk about beer. Surely, there are more compelling topics of conversation. Like my choice of bicycle, I’m in it for the utility: something fast, cheap and mass-produced. Something that’s not a talking point as much as a vehicle to a destination. Give me a Mexican beer, a cold, salty and beautiful thing. Even among this genre, I favor the cheap stuff. Lime is the great equalizer of Mexican beers – drench that Carta Blanca or Tecate in citrus and it can Pepsi-challenge against a Pacifico any day of the week. I don’t need your growlers and flavor profiles and small-batch double IPAs and those little Jell-O shot cups to sample beer in. Sampling? This is a bar, not a supermarket bread aisle. So enjoy your craft festivals and $5 beers, nerds. I’ll be in the basement pounding cans of High Life with your dad, making up words to Steely Dan songs and mispronouncing athletes’ names while yelling at the TV. feedback@orlandoweekly.com

KU B ER S KY

Two very different Orlando arts venues both observe their one-year anniversaries in the coming days. Downtown’s Dr. Phillips Center celebrates its first birthday by welcoming the 2015-2016 Fairwinds Broadway Series, which kicks off Nov. 10-15 with Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella, followed by Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas Dec. 8-13. Other recently announced shows include comic Eddie Izzard in Force Majeure, Dec. 2, and Gen Y’s January 2016 staging of Spring at the Willowbrook Inn, starring swimmerturned-actor Greg Louganis. At the opposite end of town, the Artegon Marketplace has struggled in the 12 months since it supplanted I-Drive’s Festival Bay mall, with vendor occupancy hitting a low of 60 percent earlier this year. Instead of abandoning ship on the artisan idea, owners Lightstone sent chief creative officer David Miskin down from NYC to transform the market in barely 90 days. Industrial metal cages selling flea-market wares are out; individually themed artist studios/shops are in, along with the Co-op Pop-up Shop, a gallery featuring local artists SKIP, Tobar and Boy Kong. Occupancy is already up to 90 percent, and the upgraded movie theater and new trampoline park will be joined next spring by NYZ Apocalypse zombie laser tag; the Eat Street food hall expansion arrives late 2016. A week of free anniversary-slashrelaunch events starts Monday, Nov. 16, with a wine stroll, and concludes Nov. 21 with a concert featuring Aaron Carter, Rob Base, BYE and Joey Fatone.

ward-winning Orlando writer Vanessa Blakeslee stuck close to home in her first book, the shortstory collection Train Shots, capturing this city with a level of detail only a native could truly appreciate. She ventures much farther afield in her first published novel, Juventud (Curbside Splendor Publishing, 300 pages). It’s a coming-of-age tale that starts in Santiago de Cali, Colombia, and ranges through Israel, South Florida and Washington, D.C., in its tracery of a young woman’s personal and political odyssey. “Juventud is quite the departure from Train Shots, in subject matter as well as scope,” Blakeslee admits. “Although there is a local connection: The dramatic questions that propel the novel arose when I was an undergrad at Rollins, where I’d become acquainted with several students from Latin America. They told stories of getting driven around by private chauffeurs in armed cars, having maids dress them until they were 12; one young woman in particular, from Colombia, told a harrowing story of how she believed her father had 30

somehow been involved in a tragic incident with her first love, after which she was convinced to finish her studies in the U.S.” This borrowed story is the general setup of Juventud, in which protagonist Mercedes chafes against the expectations of her father and Colombian society in general, but the story moves past this framework in surprising ways and to surprising places. Through the slowly opened eyes of Mercedes, Blakeslee explores the politics of a country known mostly for its drug cartels, and the complexities of growing up, leaving home and coming back (though philosophically, Juventud has more in common with You Can’t Go Home Again than Look Homeward, Angel). A robust sense of place always permeates Blakeslee’s work; it’s just not always the same place – which makes sense for a Northeasterner transplanted to Florida and an inveterate traveler. “I’m addicted to travel and the way fresh environments shake us up,” Blakeslee declares. “Writing that draws upon place, whether foreign or familiar, will likely be a fount from which I’ll draw for as long as I’m dreaming fiction.” Blakeslee’s Train Shots was optioned for film this year; it seems certain this very cinematic novel will be as well.

Family feud Feel the raw emotion in Mad Cow Theatre’s powerful production of My Name Is Asher Lev BY S ETH KUBERSKY MY NAME IS ASHER LEV through Dec. 6 | Mad Cow Theatre, 54 W. Church St. | 407-297-8788 | madcowtheatre.com | $18-$38

PHOTO BY TOM HURST

hen a character introduces himself by saying he is “notorious and legendary,” you might expect to see a more intimidating figure than the title character of My Name Is Asher Lev, as soulfully embodied in Mad Cow’s impressive production by baby-faced actor Michael Frishman. With his white tallit fringes dangling and black yarmulke pinned to his head, he seems more nebbishy than notorious. But beware the black object this Brooklyn bomber clutches to his chest – it isn’t a prayer book, but an art portfolio, and its contents are capable of blowing an entire family apart. Unlike Asher, who is an orthodox member of the cultish Hasidic sect, I’m about as un-frum a Jew as you’ll find (I observed the recent Yom Kippur fast by solemnly eating shellfish on a cruise ship), but you don’t have to know the Talmud from a telephone book to identify with the story’s essential elements: an iconoclastic painter pitted against his strictly conservative father (Brian Brightman), with his supportive but frightened mother (Sara Oliva) straining to keep the peace between them. Aaron Posner’s script (adapted from Chaim Potok’s acclaimed 1972 novel) doesn’t present the age-old progressversus-tradition paradox in binary terms. Frishman’s Asher is precocious and talented, but also frustratingly naive and selfish in his single-minded pursuit of aesthetic achievement. Likewise, the parents aren’t depicted as soulless simpletons just because they don’t embrace his art; Brightman’s

eyes burn with passion for his religious duty, and Oliva’s selfless devotion to her son is as heart-wrenching as a Pietà, only amplified by Jewish mother’s guilt. Director Mark Edward Smith smartly stages the show in Mad Cow’s small Zehngebot-Stonerock black box on a narrow strip of stage separating two halves of audience, making the kitchen table dramatics powerfully intimate; you’ll want to fold your legs in the front row, lest you trip the cast. With Frishman front and center for the entire intermission-free 90-minute show, Smith employs a variety of imaginative devices that allow Asher to both narrate his tale and exist inside it, smoothly stepping in and out of his invisible younger self while directly addressing the audience. Rob Wolin’s minimal scenery is morphed by Eric Haugen’s cool lighting, which subtly transforms with each time shift. Another wise choice was to represent all of Asher’s artwork with blank pieces of paper, allowing the viewer to imagine richer images than any prop could provide. With finely focused performances (Brightman’s fleeting appearance as Lev’s irascible mentor is especially sharp) and meticulously crafted pacing, My Name Is Asher Lev is that rare production that is equally affecting on both an emotional and intellectual level. Asher’s spiritual examination of whether all artists must necessarily exile themselves from their culture, and whether creating great art is justification for causing great pain, should spark spirited discussions. But it’s the rawness of the ruined human relationships, rather than the philosophical debates, that ultimately give this show its impact. skubersky@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

Art and life intertwine when artists welcome audiences into their own homes With constant news about the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts and its planned acoustic hall and the Orlando Museum of Art’s potential relocation, it sometimes seems like Central Florida’s arts community is obsessed with impressive venues. But it’s equally possible – preferable, even – to put on a show or exhibit without a formal forum. Last Saturday, I experienced two events that exploded ossified notions about where art belongs by taking it out of the institution and bringing it into the home. Drive down Highway 60 through Bealsville, about an hour southwest of Orlando, until you come upon a rural roadside produce stand plastered with hand-painted signs warning you not to park. On most days, it’s a spot to score some fresh-picked fruit or turnip greens, but on the first Saturday of each November it’s temporarily transformed into a tent revival-slash-art gallery. Last weekend I was welcomed to Ruby C. Williams’ 19th Anniversary, a magical afternoon in which one of Florida’s most notable living folk artists opened her homestead to share food and fellowship with fans and collectors. In 1996, Williams was in New Jersey when she had a “dreamwork” vision of a

Biblical beast atop a hill. Interpreting it as a message from God, she immortalized the image on a flag, kicking off her celebrated folk art career. Returning to her family farm near Lakeland, Williams was introduced by art student Rudell Kopp to University of Central Florida professor Dr. Kristin Congdon, who connected Ruby to the wider art world, leading to worldwide media exposure. For nearly 20 years, Williams’ work has been collected by museums from Washington, D.C.’s Smithsonian American Art Museum to Orlando’s Mennello Museum of American Art, but she still leads the prayer services at her annual event and personally cooks fingerlicking barbecue for everyone attending. Williams’ life hasn’t been easy; the great-granddaughter of slaves, she picked strawberries by hand for three pennies per quart. Despite the strife she’s experienced, her art is largely apolitical, with subjects ranging from ripe strawberries and smiling people to birds and werebeasts, but her endearingly prickly personality lurks just below the surface; woe be unto anyone she catches taking an unauthorized photograph. Above all, she remains resolute to her mantra that “hate costs too much,” keeping her heart open to anyone regardless of color or creed who wants to take a piece of her vision home – as long as they’ve got cash or a check. Hours later and a world away, I was welcomed into a College Park home for a very

different – but no less heartfelt – art event. Last month, photographer-performer Tisse Mallon and filmmaker Banks Helfrich (along with musician Jack Graham, who was absent that evening) launched their Living Room Theater project, opening Mallon’s house up to an ultra-intimate audience. Squeezed onto her couch with four strangers, I watched Mallon and Helfrich enact a series of short scenes mixing prescripted structure with semi-improvised dialogue. A few were funny enough for a sketch comedy showcase: a man agonizes over whether his “I like pie” business cards are truly honest; a couple entwined around each other can only communicate via cell phone. Others explored the less humorous side of human relationships, like a domestic scene shifted uncomfortably from rom-com to realistic violence. The most striking scenes were both solos. In one, Helfrich examined his hands while an operatic aria blared; in another, Mallon sat and slowly made intense eye contact with every audience member. The 50-minute performance was followed by a talkback of equal length, which evolved from a critical discussion of the “connection/disconnection” theme tying the vignettes together into a networking meeting/encounter session. Our audience included storytellers, singers, writers, a retired anthropologist and even a medieval knight; between the baker’s dozen of us, we had a lively discussion about the production’s potential as immersive interactive (though not necessarily participatory) entertainment. Mallon and Helfrich hope to take Living Room Theater on tour across the country, accompanying it with in-home screenings of their film projects. In the meantime, they have additional performances across Central Florida – from Winter Park and Maitland to St. Petersburg and DeBary – scheduled through January. Find them on Facebook to request an invitation to an upcoming show, or to offer your own home as a stage. If this column inspires you to seek out art inside a home (other than your own), head over to Benoit Glazer’s Timucua White House on Sunday, Nov. 22, when the weekly gathering’s usual musical repertoire will be temporarily taken over by prolific playwright Joseph Reed Hayes’ latest theatrical creation. Tom Waits for No Man stars Cole NeSmith as broken-down bar musician Bobby Ace, backed by the nujazz band La Lucha in this lyrical concert/ play. Admission is free as always, so drop a donation in the jar, grab a drink and make yourself at home. skubersky@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

What’s the hold-up? Armando’s Cucina Italiana & Pizzeria, which has been looking to open in a ground-floor space at the Wellesley in College Park, appears to be having issues with the condo association and their reluctance for Armando’s wood-burning pizza oven. Also in College Park, Outpost Neighborhood Kitchen is now serving full liquor. We reported in August that Jacksonvillebased Metro Diner would open in Altamonte Springs, but didn’t say where specifically. Expect it to open in the former Carmel Kitchen & Wine Bar space by the end of this year. OPENINGS Juice’d is now juicing on North Summerlin Avenue in Thornton Park … Eat Street, a 25,000-square-foot food hall inspired by Seattle’s Pike Place and Boston’s Faneuil Hall, will open at the Artegon Marketplace by the end of 2016 … Provisions & Buzz Co., formerly Jack’s Steakhouse, is now open in Baldwin Park … Urbain 40, dubbed an “American brasserie and lounge,” has opened in the former Cantina Laredo space in the Dellagio Town Center in Dr. Phillips … TR Fire Grill, a “chef-inspired American bistro,” has opened in the Ravaudage complex in Winter Park … Paxia, the longstanding Mexican restaurant in College Park, is under new ownership and will soon be called Peppy’s Bistro. Spanish and Italian items will be introduced to the menu, but the old Paxia happy hour specials will stand for now … Carlos Bakery, by Cake Boss Buddy Valastro, will open in the Florida Mall this winter … LA Sweetz, a popular Miami-based cupcake shop owned and operated by Cupcake Wars contestant Letty Alvarez, will add a local outpost at the Fountains in Dr. Phillips … Whitewood Mediterranean Grill on Orange Avenue will become Baba’s Orlando Mediterranean Grill.

Steered straight “Chef-driven” restaurant in Orlando’s North Quarter is on the right track By FAIyAz KARA norTH QUarTer TaVern 861 N. Orange Ave. | 407-757-0930 | northquartertavern.com | $$

ust because a restaurant is “chefdriven” doesn’t mean a chef can’t drive it straight into the ground. Such mishaps are becoming increasingly common, but, in the case of chef Matt Wall, the North Quarter Tavern appears to be in no such danger. Wall honed his skills down the road at sister resto Citrus, and at NQT, he seems to have found his comfort zone. Indeed, comfort is the key ingredient in many of the dishes sent forth from the kitchen. Judging from the ticker-testing pub grub on the menu, you’d think the American Heart Association was Wall’s sworn enemy. I couldn’t help but think of Barney Clark as I progressed through a starter of poutine ($10) fashioned from thick-cut chips ladled with duck gravy, house-made curds and smoked morsels of beef and pork. It’s practically a meal in itself, and a valiant effort, no doubt. If there was any fault, it was that the curds lacked that necessary squeak. Having been informed of Wall’s in-house charcuterie program, we had no choice but to sample a board ($14) of spicy coppa,

mortadella and duck ham. Vermont cheddar and bleu cheese were strategically placed on the board along with two different mustards, house pickles and a tapenade. With that tapenade, the olive oil drizzle on the coppa and mortadella wasn’t necessary; the duck ham was spared, and it was the unquestionable star of the lot. We quite enjoyed the wagyu steak tartare ($13), which also came served on a cutting board. (In fact, every dish we ordered, apart from the poutine, was served on a wood cutting board, reflecting a trend that’s getting a little tired. America! Can we get back to serving food on plates instead of planks?) Anyway, the tartare, crowned with an egg yolk, was quite nice and came served with duck-fat crostini. The smear of tarragon mayo seemed to serve more of an artistic, rather than a complementary, function. Mains, like fried chicken ($15) over bacony potato salad, are surefire gutbusters. A thick buttermilk dredge gave the beer-brined thighs a thick, crunchy, not light-and-crispy, texture, and the fact that the crunch tasted like doughnut batter made them all the more comforting. Just know that this is not your typical fried chicken. We also enjoyed a smoked kielbasa

($16) over pumpkin-potato hash, accompanied with a cranberry mostarda, pickles, and a not-so-sour kraut. NQT is somewhat light in the dessert department, offering a hot fudge sundae, house-made ice cream and a root beer float. We tried the flight of ice cream ($7) – and yes, it was served on a wood plank – in perfectly serviceable peanut butter, pumpkin, and apple butter forms. They serve a brioche French toast for brunch – how about making that a dessert option? Ice cream only goes so far in satisfying one’s sweet tooth. As far as the service goes, it couldn’t have been better. Sure, it took 10 minutes to get our ice cream because of a large party putting in their order, but it was cool – the vibe here was laidback, and so were we. In many ways, this chef-driven joint makes the ideal neighborhood restaurant – good service, a modest selection of drinks, and a foodfocused ethic. All we did was sit back and enjoy the ride.

CLOSINGS Isla Verde, in the Chase Plaza downtown, is closed, but the owners evidently have another project “in the works,” according to a Facebook post. EVENTS Emeril’s Tchoup Chop is offering a three-course menu for $35 every evening from 5-6 p.m. … Dragonfly Robata Grill & Sushi hosts a sushi-making class at 11:30 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 14, with chef de cuisine David Song. Cost is $60 … The 14th annual Feast of Fonzo goes Thursday, Nov. 19, at 6:30 p.m. Cost for the familystyle meal with wine pairings is $75. Got restaurant dish? Send tips to dining@orlandoweekly.com

Paramount Fine Foods Canadian chain brings middling Middle Eastern fare to the tourist sector. Muted flavors and drab presentations mar many of the offerings, though beef kafta kebab is well-seasoned. The manakeesh (Middle Eastern pizza) we tried with akkawi cheese and za’atar proved too oily to enjoy. An impressive display of desserts – baklava, kanafeh, osmalieh and the like – appease, but won’t wow. Open daily. 8371 International Drive, 407-930-8645; $$

Braccia Pizzeria & Ristorante Italian resto with Brazilian leanings has little in the way of good food to offer the famished Park Avenue patron, but if you’re thirsting for some fresh-squeezed juice, the pineapple-mint will leave you happily refreshed and wanting more. 153 E. Morse Blvd., Winter Park, 407-636-9918; $$$

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, save for mealy tuna. A roll fashioned from lobster, American wagyu and truffle aioli will cater to the bon vivant in you, though desserts like tepid bananas Foster and spice-less five-spice French toast won’t. 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 (a necessity, it seems, for any new joint worth its weight) 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 is nice. Sticky toffee pudding makes for a saucy ending. Decent

The Boathouse Giant house of boating paraphernalia and seaside eats is the proverbial anchor in the restaurant makeover at Disney Springs. Just as vast is the selection of seafood and steak items offered at inflated prices. Lobster cocktail and middleneck clams from Cedar Key make a nice start, but consult Seafood Watch prior to ordering the catch of the day. Steaks are stellar; desserts (like Key lime pie in a Mason jar and berry-coulis-saturated chocolate bundt cake) are not. 1620 E. Buena Vista Drive, Lake Buena Vista, 407-939-2628; $$$$

Gopal Ji Sweets Wonderful vegetarian dishes are to be had at this Indian resto, but all but one of the “sweets” has been jettisoned and the menu may soon include meat. Until then, do yourself a favor and try their outstanding chaat items, like bhel puri, chole bhatura and veg samosas. Mains like masala bhindi (okra) and aloo saag (creamy spinach with potatoes) are properly spiced and simply delightful. 4642 S. Kirkman Road, 407-730-8800; $$

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; $$$

Union Burger The better burger movement gets the Canadian treatment at this Lake Nona outpost of this Ontario-based chain, but don’t blame Canada for the subpar poutine served here, or the overdone burgers and dogs. Shakes veer on the sweet side, but locals will appreciate Cigar City brews and Quantum Leap wines. 9680 Narcoossee Road, 407-745-4510; $

Mark’s Caribbean Cuisine UCF-area jerk joint isn’t in the tidiest of strip malls, but the Jamaican fare is neat-o. 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 gratify, as does traditional ackee and saltfish. Servers are friendly, but don’t expect to be wowed by the decor. 10034 University Blvd., 407-699-8800; $ n

OPENING IN orlando By Ste v e S c h n e i d e r

Opening this week The 33 This reality-based drama tells the story of the 33 Chilean miners who were trapped underground for 69 days back in 2010. (See, the title 2010 was already taken, and a picture called 69 would probably have trouble getting booked into family multiplexes.) Antonio Banderas plays miner Mario Sepulveda, known to his fellows as “Super Mario.” Poor Bob Hoskins: This is the Super Mario he was supposed to hold out for playing. (PG-13) By the Sea It’s the first Brangelina movie since Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and get this: Our Angie wrote and directed the thing. And it’s all about a marriage on the rocks, which should at least make Jen chuckle a bit. To be more specific, The United Pitts of Benetton play an American husband and wife who have to come to terms with their rocky relationship while on a trip to the French seaside in the 1970s. Now, I like Angelina more than a lot of people do – she’s crazy, sure, but she’s my kind of crazy – but as somebody who lived through the ’70s, I can tell you that anybody who was able to vacation in France was nobody I could be bothered to care about, because they sure didn’t care about me. Retro First-World Problems? NEXT! (R) Love the Coopers When will Hollywood figure out that the one thing we hate almost as much as spending time with

our family is watching movies about people spending time with their family? Once upon a time, it might have seemed like a delightful escape to grab the car keys and go see Alan Arkin fight Amanda Seyfried for the last piece of turducken on Christmas Eve. But now we have Grindr, so move the hell on. Director Jessie Nelson’s last gig was the legendarily cloying I Am Sam, although writer Steven Rogers worked on Kate & Leopold, which was a fine picture until Roger Ebert made the studio gut it at the 11th hour. Hmmm, I wish there was some way to make an ironclad decision here. “Featuring Diane Keaton”? Yeah, that did it. Paintball it is. (PG-13) My All American Back in the late ’80s, there was a Dennis Quaid/Jessica Lange movie called Everybody’s All-American. Jesus, and they called that a selfish decade? Now our movie stars don’t even want to share their all-Americans with anybody else. Why not just iAll-American, or even iAllAmerican on Demand? Anyway, what we have here is another true gridiron story, about the challenges that faced University of Texas player Freddie Steinmark (Finn Wittrock) and how he was helped by legendary coach Darrell Royal (Aaron Eckhart). (In case you’re keeping score, the official count of “legendary coaches” profiled in true-sports movies now stands at 1,459.) Writer-director Angelo Pizzo penned Hoosiers and Rudy, which means you’re going to be hearing lots about this one from whatever family member traditionally ruins your Thanksgiving by droning on and on about the Big Game. (PG)

Ash vs. Evil DEAD proveS that 30 yearS later, the evil dead franchiSe Still haS what it takeS By adam mccaBe There’s a moment when you’re watching the pilot for Ash vs. Evil Dead (airing as a Starz original series) when you accept that it just isn’t going to capture the majesty of the classic Evil Dead 2. How could it? There was a charm in that rawness and grit that could only come from a low-budget horror effort – plus, it was 30 goddamn years ago. Thankfully, this return to Ash’s screwed-up world isn’t simply fan service. This is what happens when a cult franchise gets old and somehow still (magically) has legs. Ask any horror fan: Evil Dead is Star Wars for gorehounds. On that premise alone, this show is wildly successful in delivering the goods. The plot? Who cares. But if you really need something to whet your appetite: Ash Williams, now old and living in a trailer park, realizes that he has once again summoned the forces of evil to our world and must strap on his trusty chainsaw arm one more time. It’s not about the pathos; it’s about the personality. Franchise creator Sam Raimi fills the first episode to the brim with charm, trademark wit and blood by the gallons. Evil Dead diehards will devour it, and newcomers to the franchise may even be inspired to explore the old films for the first time. That’s probably the most amazing thing about the show – it proves that there’s still a ton of life left in the dead. Hail to the king, baby. amccabe@orlandoweekly.com

This year’s Jewish Film Festival, now in its 17th year, happens this week at the Enzian. It screens five films that cover all the bases from documentary to comedy to suspenseful drama to socially conscious feature film. Here’s the rundown of the films that are part of this year’s lineup.

A Borrowed Identity

When the Los Angeles Times reviewed this film earlier this year, they called it a “soft-seeming film about a hard-edged, difficult subject.” Indeed, it’s the tale of a Palestinian boy named Eyad who gets the once-in-a-lifetime chance to attend the prestigious Jerusalem Arts and Sciences Academy. He befriends a fellow outsider, and falls in love with a Jewish girl, but it doesn’t take long before Eyad realizes that even though he’s been accepted to the school, he hasn’t been truly accepted.

The Last Mentsch

This movie tells the story of a man named Menachem Teitelbaum, who escaped Auschwitz alive and created a new life (and identity) for himself in Germany. As Teitelbaum ages, he decides that he wants to be buried in a Jewish cemetery, but he’s done such a good job putting his past behind him that he has no proof that he is actually a Jew. With the help of a chain-smoking Turkish woman named Gul, he returns to his homeland in Hungary to reclaim his heritage. Screens 11 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 15, at Enzian Theater

Phoenix

A Holocaust survivor named Nelly returns to post World War II Berlin. Nelly was shot in the face while in a concentration camp, and after undergoing reconstructive surgery, she has a whole new look. She uses this to her advantage to track down her former husband, Johnny, whom she suspects of turning her in to the Nazis in the first place. Screens 7 p.m. Monday, Nov. 16, at Enzian Theater

mental rock a la Explosions in the Sky, while “Gifts for the Earth” sprints along on a New Wave-inspired bounce before breaking into a Beatles-esque coda. Although lead singer George Clarke still shreds his vocal cords to within an inch of their life throughout the album, everything on New Bermuda packs a level of cinematic clarity unheard in past Deafheaven material. And like the best movie soundtrack, this is music that will wipe away your pre-existing feelings and replace them with epic sweeps of emotion. “Bringing out those clearer tones definitely helped,” Mehra says. “The recording is not so washed out – it lands with a more solid impact.” Sure, Clarke’s words are indiscernible without the lyric sheet. But they’re also weighted with more personal emotion than anything in the black metal pantheon. Where Sunbather dealt with his impoverished upbringing, his struggles with teenage lust and his resistance to wealth and conformity, New Bermuda finds Clarke examining his newfound comfort as a relatively well-off musician now living in Los Angeles. “This record is more based on George’s woes of adulthood,” Mehra says. “Coping with finally growing up and having to deal with life’s real circumstances. But that reflects on all of us. We were short on time and under some pressure to make New Bermuda, so it was a lot more conducive to write it together as a full five-piece band because we’ve been touring together for so long.

The Sh-Booms BY B AO L E - H U U

PHOTO BY JAMES DECHERT

Losing a front figure is a perilous

thing for a band. And when you’re talking about one as incandescent and defining as the Sh-Booms’ original singer Emily Patterson, it’s something from which most acts never recover. I first saw the freshly reloaded version of the local retro-soul syndicate a couple months ago, but that was amid the dizzying blur of the Will’s Pub 20th anniversary blowout. Their opening set for Detroit upcomer Jessica Hernandez & the Deltas (Nov. 5, the Social) was a chance for a good, focused look at the band with new singer Mizz Bren (née Brenda Radney), whose studio credits include contributing backing vocals to Justin Timberlake (The 20/20 Experience) and, even more interestingly, … And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead (The Century of Self). The good news is that the big Sh-Booms locomotive hasn’t ceded any horsepower – Bren’s voice is a brick house. The better news is that they’ve taken a more modern and mature turn. Both singers are power plants of voice and presence. But while Patterson radiated more of an old-fashioned sweetheart halo, Mizz Bren throws off some tough grown-ass woman heat. And the band’s sound shows sign of growing up alongside her, with less swing and more rock and soul grit. All of a sudden, the Sh-Booms’ future now looks much longer and deeper.

Mizz Bren throws off some tough grown-ass woman heat. THE BEAT

No one besides my editor has seen it, but I wrote a blurb about the previous album by Public Image Ltd. (This Is PiL) in my year-end list for 2012. The original assignment was to write up not only my top picks of the year’s releases like usual, but also the single biggest disappointment. Though it didn’t make the cut, that PiL record was the butthole of that list. According to the raw copy, I called it a “stinker” and went on to say: “Without any of their prime-era nerve or conviction, the grooves and utterances here putter into the kind of inanity that all the underground cred in the world could barely pardon.” Oof. Their first studio LP in 20 years, This Is PiL was supposed to be the big comeback for the laureate John Lydon vehicle. But it would be safe to say from that little bit that I thought it might be best to honor the legacy of this heritage act by leaving the body buried. Still, they were one of those legends I never got to see live, so the announcement of their Orlando show (Nov. 7, Plaza Live) perked me a little. But after that inauspicious album, the curiosity was more morbid than anything.

And then their 2015 follow-up (What the World Needs Now …) hit my inbox. Unlike that flaccid original return, this LP was sharp, cutting and alive – all the core qualities of PiL at their best. So, with new hope, I went. The show turnout was testament of the band’s place in the history books. The old alternative guard came out in a way that I thought they would for Gang of Four recently (Oct. 27, the Social), but strangely didn’t. I wasn’t on the spot five minutes before I overheard the word “Visage” dropped, and it would be repeated all around me throughout the night. PiL’s new album proved to be an accurate omen of the state of the band. They may not be young, but they sure aren’t ready yet to roll over and become a golden-oldie act. The new material was featured heavily on the set list and the players sounded in fighting form. Being one of rock & roll’s most iconic voices, little of that would matter without Lydon’s presence, whose crazed warble is still impressive in its scowl and howl. For all his famous astringency, though, Lydon didn’t so much as play a single note before thanking the fans for the privilege of being able to do his one-of-a-kind thing for 40 years. And then, of course, he goes on to pillory the sound guy about his monitor throughout the first two songs. ’Atta boy, Johnny. Stay rotten. baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

OUR PICKS FOR THE BEST EVENTS THIS WEEK

Slow Magic MUSIC Mystery shrouds electronic producer Slow Magic, who wears a colorful mask when he elevates the dancefloor with his tricky twists. His 2014 release, How to Run Away, pushes his “Serenity Now!” style with fresh bounce and curious craft (a nurturing reminder to listeners that you can be chill without being braindead). Critics applauded Slow Magic’s deft jams, and fans of Triangle (his previous release that launched him to a broader audience, on which he toured with hometown hero XXYYXX) will be happy to be set adrift on its trance-inducing vibes live. Slow Magic is like a freaky Pied Piper here, luring listeners to more intriguing edges of dance music while convincing them he’s just a guide to their independent soul-searching and epiphany-triggering escapes. – Ashley Belanger

Master Class

There was a hashtag on Twitter last week, #grownladycrush, that trended briefly after being mentioned on NPR. And after everyone got done nominating their moms and grandmas, some pretty admirable ladies were named: Elizabeth Warren, Gloria Steinem, Emmylou Harris. But there was something missing among the worthy women, a certain lack of badassery, that could’ve been remedied if anyone had included this #grownladycrush: Maria Callas. Scandal, controversy and myth accrued around the life of the operatic soprano known as La Divina, the iconic bitch-goddess who was immortalized not just in the recordings she left behind or the still-told tales of her legendary feuds and stormy love affairs (including the central one of her life, with Aristotle Onassis pre-Jackie O), but also in the Terrence McNally play Master Class. Sung music by Verdi, Bellini and Puccini ornaments Florida Opera Theatre’s first theatrical production, a Tony Award-winning show that uses the framing device of a Juilliard class taught by Callas near the end of her career to explore the Everestpeak highs and Mariana Trench lows of her life. The members of audience are the “students” to whom the diva lectures, so look sharp: You might get called on. – Jessica Bryce Young THEATER

Orlando Beer Festival We might be a tiny bit biased, because this event is our own, but the Orlando Beer Festival is where you should be this Saturday. Touting itself as the beer festival Orlando deserves, the event will feature your favorite local craft beer, breweries and beer bars, all the way from Sarasota to Titusville. But what’s drinking without a little music to go along? Plan on bringing your blankets and lawn chairs to hear the Sh-Booms, the Mellow Relics, Mike Dunn and the Getbye. We’re also excited about the food trucks, a play area for adults who never grew up and some quality whiskey sampling. –Monivette Cordeiro

Art Uprising No small amount of fuss was made during Factur’s soft opening last year. It was the vanguard of the so-called maker movement here in Orlando, a putative manufacturing revolution that centered around the kind of grassroots, high-tech industrial initiatives made possible by affordable 3D printing. So it should come as no surprise that a place whose main selling point is the tools it offers DIYers here in O-town (3D printers, CNC machines, laser cutters, welding facilities … we could go on) should play host to the work of nine local artists. Come for the music and paintings, stay for the cerebral juxtaposition of timeless artistic techniques alongside the most advanced manufacturing technologies available today. And once you’re done stuffing your brain full of art and science, stuff your face full of food truck munchies. – Bernard Wilchusky

Ladies Get Lit

LADIES GET LIT

LITERARY The DIY zine scene is thriving in Orlando, particularly in the area of zines created by women. Tittie-Thyme, a zine created by a collective of talented ladies, is known as much for their entertaining hodgepodge of art, poetry, fiction and non-fiction as they are for their fun release parties featuring live music, readings, raffles and a carnival-like atmosphere. Joining them for the release of their eighth issue are Let’s Kiss and Phosphene, issuing their second and first volumes respectively. Far from your usual staid literary event, this party will also have live music from some of Orlando’s coolest female songwriters like the Areolas’ Holly Herzog, proving Tittie-Thyme’s adage, “Femme is not frail.” – Thaddeus McCollum

The In-Between Series featuring Elizabeth A. Baker’s Toy Piano Project MUSIC The next edition of the already forward-thinking music monthly the In-Between Series will be one of its most intriguing and innovative yet. St. Pete’s Elizabeth A. Baker is an avant-garde composer and pianist currently championing the obscure world of toy pianos through her technological eye. Baker’s studious zeal for this instrument will unfold across works by John Cage (probably the most famous to have seriously explored the instrument), Eli Ponder-Twardy and her own four-movement piece written specifically for the arrangement at this show (“Experimental Suite for Toy Piano with Electronics and Drums”). With techniques to involve contact microphones built by Baker herself, guitar pedals, a computer processor and an old Speak & Spell, she’ll be demonstrating sonic possibilities that few have imagined for the toy piano as deeply as she has. Interestingly enough, her accompanist will be drummer Leo Suarez, whose genrespanning associations include the raging new heavy-music contender Meatwound, a band we recently called “Florida’s next heavy threat.” It’s a formula for a radical recontextualization of this instrument that promises to shatter its small percept. – Bao Le-Huu

Righteous indignation has always been Lewis Black’s schtick, and the comedian has plenty to work with these days. From the presidential race to mass shootings to police brutality, there’s ample material in headlines lately to rile up Black. We’re glad that his “Back in Black” segment still lives on in the post-Jon Stewart Daily Show era, but it can be a real treat to see the veteran comedian get to address his pet peeves in longer bursts. Just bring earplugs if your hearing is important to you: Black can get loud. – TM

THE WEEK

ORLANDO

Obviously, the best drinking event this week is the Orlando Beer Festival at Festival Park on Saturday (see page 50), but if for whatever reason you hate live music, craft beer, whiskey or hanging out with us (we get it; we’re a handful), here are some other options for your weekend brain-cell cull.

Scottish Highland Festival Mount Dora’s version of everyone’s favorite excuse to go commando features the usual log-tossing, boulder-lugging and border collie … ing?, along with a concert from badass Celt bands Albannach and Rathkeltair. Oh, and, duh, beer and a ticketed whiskey tasting. 6 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m.-7 p.m. Saturday; Gilbert Park, Liberty Avenue and South Tremain Street, Mount Dora; free, concert or whiskey tasting extra; mountdoraevents.com Red Cypress Brewery Grand Opening Winter Springs’ newest craft brewery and taproom opens this weekend. They’ll have food trucks, new beer releases and live music. But if you don’t want to make the drive, remember that they’ll also be showing off their wares at the Orlando Beer Festival on Saturday (see above). Noon-10 p.m. Saturday-Sunday; Red Cypress Brewery, 855 E. State Road 434, Winter Springs; free; redcypressbrewery.com

Chocolate Mint Girl Stout Release Because it tastes like a Girl Scout cookie, not because Orlando Brewing is saying something about girls’ palates. We think. Anyway, enjoy the first taste of this Thin Mint-inspired creation with happy hour pricing all night (if you’re a lady). Later on, toast marshmallows over a campfire and sing along with live music. Just like camp! Assuming your camp had a lot of drunk kids running around. 1 p.m.-midnight Saturday; Orlando Brewing, 1301 Atlanta Ave.; free; orlandobrewing.com

Eden’s Elixir Mixer Meet the best bartenders in the craft cocktail scene at this bartending competition at Enzian’s picturesque Eden Bar. Tickets include samples of each cocktail, along with beer and wine. 2-4 p.m. Saturday; Eden Bar at the Enzian, 1300 S. Orlando Ave., Maitland; $10; enzian.org

THE WEEK

SATURDAY, 14

Music on Mills Same old cause, same old fun. The four gatekeepers of the Mills 50 District – Wally’s Mills Avenue Liquor, Will’s Pub, BART and St. Matthew’s Tavern – will be working a hard day’s night this Saturday as they host the second annual Music on Mills festival. But they don’t just work a hard day’s night. These local venues are bringing back Music on Mills to continue the funding they started with last year’s festival, which goes toward public art and neighborhood safety projects. If there’s one thing we can say about the collection of bands this year, it’s that they’ve got soul. Groove to the beat with local funksters Leisure Chief or break it down on the dance floor with the legendary Tony Cook – the man behind the drum kit when the Godfather of Soul, James Brown, got up off of that thing. When you aren’t cutting rug, take a peek at some of the art in the vendors market or refuel with food truck grub. It’s for the hood, man. – Marissa Mahoney

ARIES (March 21-April 19) “I demand unconditional love and complete freedom,” wrote Slovenian poet Tomaž Šalamun. “That is why I am terrible.” In accordance with the astrological omens, I’m offering you the chance, at least temporarily, to join Šalamun in demanding unconditional love and complete freedom. But unlike him, you must satisfy one condition: Avoid being terrible. Can you do that? I think so, although you will have to summon unprecedented amounts of emotional intelligence and collaborative ingenuity. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You have the answers you need, but you keep sniffing around as if there were different or better answers to be had. Moreover, you’ve been offered blessings that could enable you to catalyze greater intimacy, but you’re barely taking advantage of them – apparently because you underestimate their potency. Here’s what I think: As long as you neglect the gifts you have already been granted, they won’t provide you with their full value. If you give them your rapt appreciation, they will bloom. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950) tried to earn a living by selling pencil sharpeners, but couldn’t make it. In frustration, he turned to writing novels. Success! Among his many popular novels, 27 of them were about a fictional character named Tarzan. The actor who played Tarzan in the movies based on Burroughs’ books was Johnny Weissmuller. As a child, he suffered from polio, and rebuilt his strength by becoming a swimmer. He eventually won five Olympic gold medals. Burroughs and Weissmuller are your role models in the coming weeks. It’s a favorable time for you to turn defeat into victory. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Artist Andy Warhol had an obsession with green underpants. In fact, that’s all he ever wore beneath his clothes. It might be fun and productive for you to be inspired by his private ritual. Life is virtually conspiring to ripen your libido, stimulate your fertility and expedite your growth. So anything you do to encourage these cosmic tendencies could have an unusually dramatic impact. Donning green undies might be a good place to start. It would send a playful message to your subconscious mind that you are ready and eager to bloom. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) In the coming weeks, take special notice of the jokes and humorous situations that prompt you to laugh the loudest. They will provide important clues about the parts of your life that need liberation. What outmoded or irrelevant taboos should you consider breaking? What inhibitions are dampening your well-being? How might your conscience be overstepping its bounds and making you unnecessarily constrained? Any time you roar with spontaneous amusement, you will know you have touched a congested place in your psyche that is due for a cleansing. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) For each of the last 33 years, the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in Los Angeles has selected a “National Hero Dog.” It’s an award given to a canine that has shown exceptional courage in helping or rescuing people. In 2015, the group departed from tradition. Its “National Hero Dog” is a female cat named Tara. Last May, she saved a 4-year-old boy by scaring off a dog that had begun to attack him. I’m guessing you will soon have an experience akin to Tara’s. Maybe you’ll make a gutsy move that earns you an unexpected honor. Maybe you’ll carry out a dramatic act of compassion that’s widely appreciated. Or maybe you’ll go outside your comfort zone to pull off a noble feat that elevates your reputation. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) According to cartoon character Homer Simpson, “Trying is the first step towards failure.” I don’t

lulu E ig ht B a l l

By EMily FlaKE

agree with that comic advice. But I do think the following variant will be applicable to you in the coming weeks: “Trying too hard is the first step toward failure.” So please don’t try too hard! Overexertion should be taboo. Straining and struggling would not only be unnecessary, but counterproductive. If you want to accomplish anything worthwhile, make sure that your default emotion is relaxed confidence. Have faith in the momentum generated by all the previous work you have done to arrive where you are now. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Elsie de Wolfe (1859-1950) was a pioneer in the art of interior design. She described herself as “a rebel in an ugly world.” Early in her career she vowed, “I’m going to make everything around me beautiful,” and she often did just that. In part through her influence, the dark, cluttered decor of the Victorian Era, with its bulky draperies and overly ornate furniture, gave way to rooms with brighter light, softer colors and more inviting textures. I’d love to see you be inspired by her mission. It’s a good time to add extra charm, grace and comfort to your environments. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) At the age of 36, author Franz Kafka composed a 47-page letter to his father Herman. As he described the ways that his dad’s toxic narcissism and emotional abuse had skewed his maturation process, he refrained from lashing out with histrionic anger. Instead he focused on objectively articulating the facts, recounting events from childhood and analyzing the family dynamic. In accordance with the astrological omens, I recommend that you write a letter to your own father – even if it’s filled with praise and gratitude instead of complaint. At this juncture in your life story, I think you especially need the insights that this exercise would generate. (P.S. Write the letter for your own sake, not with the hope of changing or hurting or pleasing your dad. You don’t have to give it to him.) CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Shizo Kanakuri was one of Japan’s top athletes when he went to compete in the marathon race at the 1912 Stockholm Olympics. Partway through the event, fatigued by sweltering heat, bad food and the long journey he’d made to get there, Kanakuri passed out. He recovered with the help of a local farmer, but by then the contest was over. Embarrassed by his failure, he sneaked out of Sweden and returned home. Fast forward to 1966. Producers of a TV show tracked him down and invited him to resume what he’d started. He agreed. At the age of 74, he completed the marathon, finishing with a time of 54 years, eight months. I think it’s time to claim your own personal version of this opportunity. Wouldn’t you love to resolve a process that got interrupted? AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) In most sporting events, there’s never any doubt about which competitor is winning. Each step of the way, the participants and spectators know who has more points or goals or runs. But one sport isn’t like that. In a boxing match, no one is aware of the score until the contest is finished – not even the boxers themselves. I think you’re in a metaphorically comparable situation. You won’t find out the final tally or ultimate decision until the “game” is complete. Given this uncertainty, I suggest that you don’t slack off even a little. Keep giving your best until the very end. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) One night as you lie sleeping in your bed, you will dream of flying through the sunny summer sky. The balmy air will be sweet to breathe. Now and then you will flap your arms like wings, but mostly you will glide effortlessly. The feeling that flows through your body will be a blend of exhilaration and ease. Anywhere you want to go, you will maneuver skillfully to get there. After a while, you will soar to a spot high above a scene that embodies a knotty problem in your waking life. As you hover and gaze down, you will get a clear intuition about how to untie the knots. Whether or not you remember this dream, the next day you will work some practical magic that begins to shrink or dissolve the problem.

B Y D A N S AVA G E I’m a hetero guy in need of advice. Back in college, I met this girl. She was into me but I had some shit to work through. We ended up being a missed connection, romantically. Despite that, we became fast friends. I’m less awkward now, in large part because our friendship changed my life. We each married other people. Except I still love her. I think about her often, want to share things about my life with her, find myself wanting to rely on her when things are tough. I don’t know what to do with it. On one hand, she means an awful lot to me – she is the kind of friend that comes along once in a lifetime – and I know that I mean a lot to her. So this is a relationship worth protecting, even as asymmetrical as it is. On the other hand, these feelings are starting to seem kind of pathetic. We are barely part of each other’s lives anymore – do I even have a right to feel the way I do? I see three options, each of which is shit. 1) Keep my feelings to myself and endure/enjoy a painful but deeply meaningful friendship. 2) Disappear, either abruptly or gradually, with no explanation. Or 3) damn the torpedoes and bare my soul, which might painfully explode the relationship. After years of option 1, I am strongly leaning toward option 3 – just blowing shit wide open and dealing with whatever happens.

I want to say something like this: “The

No Good At Acronyms

Sincerely Laments Obstructed Wanking

You’re going to need a gay dude to act on

You need to listen to the original Broadway

the advice I’m about to give you – and not just any gay dude, NGAA, but the kind of gay dude who obsesses about Broadway musicals. And not just any gay dude who obsesses about Broadway musicals, but the kind of Broadway-musicalobsessed gay dude who has good taste. OK, here’s my advice: Listen to the original Broadway cast recordings of Company, Follies and A Little Night Music – music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. Yes, you can get all three recordings on iTunes, NGAA, but you need to listen to them on vinyl, and you need to discuss these shows, and three songs in particular, with someone who already knows them by heart. Hence the need for a gay dude with good taste in Broadway musicals and an extensive vinyl collection. As any Broadway-musical-obsessed gay man will tell you: Epiphanies, insights and breakthroughs come most reliably in moments of silence, i.e., when you have to flip the record over. Here are the songs you need to pay close attention to: “Sorry-Grateful” from Company, “The Road You Didn’t Take” from Follies, and “Send in the Clowns” from A Little Night Music. Listen over and over again – until you know the lyrics of all three songs by heart. Discuss what these songs mean with your new gay friend. Then you’ll know what to do.

cast recording of Wicked, music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz. When Idina Menzel sings “Defying Gravity,” pretend she’s singing “defying aridity.” Apparently that’s your boyfriend’s cock’s superpower: Aridity is no impediment to pleasure. It’s not an uncommon superpower, SLOW. Lots of guys prefer lubeless handjobs. So have your boyfriend jack himself off while you listen to Wicked, see what works for him, and then try not to make a big deal out of his preferences going forward.

A friend of mine talks about his sex life almost constantly. Not quite like bragging, more matterof-fact. For instance, out of the blue he will come out with this: “I was sitting in a bar and this broad looks at me and asks if I want to fuck. She had the tightest pussy I’ve ever had.” It just seems like conversation for him. I’m baffled by this. What’s going on with him?

Really Regular Reader

Not So Talky

amount of pussy and/or cock a man is actually getting exists in inverse proportion to the amount of pussy and/or cock a man brags about getting.” But it ain’t necessarily so. I’ve known plenty of guys who bragged constantly about getting tons of ass, and they weren’t all liars. Almost every one of them, however, was deeply insecure – they bragged about the ass they were getting because they feared people saw them as guys who couldn’t get ass in a donkey storm. I was stroking my partner and went for the lube, when he informed me that he prefers to have his handjobs sans lube. He says that lube is messy. For the past three years, he has raved about my handjobs and said my skills are professional level, and never once did he complain about the lube. I attempted to follow through, but all my old techniques didn’t work. I asked him to show me how, what he likes, and he said just do the same as I’ve always done. The sliding, gliding, twisting motions that I usually use, all with a reasonable amount of squeezing, just DO NOT WORK without lube. My hand stuck to the dampish skin and would not slide. He says I am making a big deal out of nothing, but I am upset. One of the best tools in my sexual toolbox has just been rendered unusable.

I usually like your advice, Dan, but I was dismayed when both you and Peter Staley got it wrong in your response to STATUS, the woman who was preparing to divorce her HIV+ husband after the revelation of another affair. You both seemed to think she was trying to get her husband sent to prison. I think she was trying to avoid that! She wants her husband to tell the truth in therapy, but she’s concerned doing so will land him in prison. Here’s something else you both missed: When someone tells a therapist what they have already done, the reporting requirements are far less stringent than when a patient tells what they plan on doing. If a therapist believes a patient is likely to harm themselves or others in the future, the therapist may have to act. Patient confidentiality carries a lot of weight when it comes to past actions.

You weren’t the only reader who came to STATUS’s defense. It’s possible Peter and I got it wrong. On the off chance I got it wrong, RRR, I’m going to need to be punished. It should be something that really hurts. Oh, I know: I’ll listen to the original Broadway cast recording of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Twice.
