The Orlando pizza wars of 2015 If you are from Orlando you may think these are good (“The 25 best pizzas in Orlando, right now,” Nov. 20), but if you are from the northeast, like New York or New Jersey, you know good pizza and these places are not. The best place we have found is Winter Garden Pizza Co. and it’s still not even as good as the worst place in New Jersey.

This land is our land Residents in Orlando’s District 5 battle developers over industrial project that could impact wetland property By Mon ivett e Cor d ei r o

n between West New Hampshire Street and WD Judge Drive in West Orlando, Marchelle Robinson and her neighbors have what she calls “a little piece of heaven.” Away from the traffic and skyscrapers of downtown, this primarily African-American neighborhood close to the city’s boundary is also home to about 36 acres of wetlands that are part of the Little Wekiva River Watershed. Water

from the property drains into a canal that flows to nearby Lake Lawne, the headwaters of the Little Wekiva River. “There’s no lights,” Robinson says. “No noise. No people. We just have the animals and the crickets. Everything is wonderful.” But that could soon change. Robinson and her neighbors have been fighting for months now against developers who want to build an industrial

park called Princeton Oaks on the 123acre property that includes the wetlands. Developers say Princeton Oaks could create new jobs for Orlando’s District 5, which is in need of them. The Princeton Oaks project wouldn’t be unusual for the area. Currently, other industrial warehouses, including one for Frito-Lay, and car dealerships surround the community. The project proposes wiping out almost nine acres of wetlands

and the remaining forest to build 11 structures and a road through the property. It would conserve about 27 acres of wetlands in the middle. At a quasi-judicial hearing to determine the fate of the project last week, Robinson and other residents remained unconvinced that it would be good for their neighborhood. “This has changed what I feel about Orlando, because I thought it was supposed to be for the people, not just for big business,” she says. “You just closed us in by industrial parks. That’s environmental injustice if I’ve ever seen it in my life.” Before the 1.03 million-square-foot project was called Princeton Oaks, city officials and residents knew it as Princeton Village. Trusts for Nancy Rossman and Scott Gold owned the land along WD Judge Drive when it was still part of Orange County. In 2005, KB Homes submitted an application to Orlando to have the property annexed into the city. KB Homes planned to build Princeton Village, a complex consisting of 1,275 dwelling units, 300,000 square feet of retail space and an elementary school. In a 2011 growth-projection report, the city called Princeton Village one of the most significant retail developments in the city’s northwest sector, and the elementary school was projected to open between 2021 and 2025. Somewhere along the way, the project fizzled out, and in 2014, according to city emails, CNL Commercial Real Estate and CONTINUED ON PAGE 8

the Orlando office of engineering firm VHB proposed an industrial use for the site. The application for the project, made by Jim Hall of VHB, asked the city’s Municipal Planning Board to change the property’s zoning designation from low residential to industrial and amend the existing planned development to allow an industrial park. Developers paid Joel Thomson of Thomson Environmental Consulting to do an environmental study of the land, which was included in the application. Thomson classified the wetlands on the property as “low quality” due to a history of on-site and regional hydrologic impacts. The environmental scientist said he found two burrows potentially occupied by gopher tortoises, which are listed in Florida as a threatened species. Thomson did not find activity of any other protected species. In July, before the planning board meeting, the developers had a community meeting, but only 12 residents attended. In early August 43 courtesy notices were sent to residents and businesses within 400 feet of the property, according to city emails. Biologist Dr. Wanda Jones, who lives one block away from the industrial park, attended the planning board meeting on Aug. 18 when the board approved the project. Jones, her mother, Mamie Jones, and Robinson are spearheading the opposition to the project. They attended an Oct. 19 City Council meeting at which the city was voting on future land-use designations and a truck policy for the property, but the council could not vote on the zoning ordinance because Jones had filed a petition for a quasi-judicial hearing. “There have been a number of studies that have been conducted by the Center for Disease Control, by OSHA and a number of prestigious universities that prove that diesel exhaust fumes lead to lung cancer, lead to cardiovascular disease, hypertension, diabetes, blood clots and also genetic mutations,” Jones told council members. “This environmental injustice tends to happen in AfricanAmerican neighborhoods. This doesn’t seem to happen often in Caucasian neighborhoods.” Jones also cited environmental concerns, excess noise, traffic and the fact that the neighborhood is already surrounded by industry. City Planning Division manager Dean Grandin said the industrial park would be more of a corporate center, allowing for light assembly, warehouses and offices. Commissioner Regina Hill, who represents the district 8

where Princeton Oaks will be, told residents she saw joblessness in the area. “There’s over 600 jobs created with this project right there in that corridor,” she said. “We’re not talking about hightech jobs, we’re talking about workforce jobs. … Most people are for progress in that corridor called Mercy Drive because there has been so much hopelessness and despair for a very long time.” Tensions ran high last Wednesday as both sides tried to convince a hearing officer of their arguments. Attorneys for the developers and the property owners said in their response to Jones’ petition that she had not provided any factual evidence for her claims the project would damage neighbors’ health and impact the environment. “It is evident from the face of the petition that Petitioner is opposing the project simply because she wants the property to be utilized for a conservation area … and not for any valid land-development concerns,” the response says. Attorney Becky Wilson says her clients’ proposed development will lessen the traffic impact to the area, preserve wetlands that Princeton Villages would have stripped away completely and create jobs in a district that needs them. The residents told the hearing officer they were several small Davids fighting an influential and wealthy Goliath. City election finance records show that CNL Financial Group, the parent company of CNL Commercial Real Estate, and VHB donated money to Mayor Buddy Dyer’s recent campaign for re-election, to the tune of $7,000 and $500, respectively. One of the parcel’s owners, Nancy Rossman, is no stranger to the Central Florida real estate community. In 2001, Rossman and a business partner bought 1,584 acres near the Wekiva River for $7 million that Florida had shown interest in for preservation, according to the Orlando Sentinel. Five years later, when the state wanted the land for the Wekiva River Parkway project, she sold it to them for $74 million. Community organizer and former candidate for District 5’s City Council seat Lawanna Gelzer, who came to support the residents who don’t want the development in their midst, says environmental injustice affects communities of color at disproportionate rates. “We constantly see our way of life and what we’re accustomed to changing for big business and big developers and we’re just tired of it,” she says. “I’ll consider myself a David, because David did bring down Goliath.” The hearing officer in the case has 45 days to issue a decision to City Council.

Mailers tell Orange County residents to ask county to limit Skyplex

he bad blood between Skyplex, the $460 million planned development that would include the world’s tallest roller coaster, and Universal Orlando got a little worse this week. For those who have not been following the story, Skyplex is the brainchild of developer Joshua Wallack (who is also chief operating officer for Mango’s Tropical Café). His Skyplex complex would consist of a 570-foot-tall polercoaster, a 700-foot-tall Skyscraper coaster, a 450foot SkyFall drop tower, a surf park and the world’s largest Perkins. The complex would be located on International Drive near the intersection at Sand Lake Road, just around the corner from Universal Orlando. A group affiliated with Universal has been sending out mailers to Orange County residents expressing concerns about Skyplex. It has also set up a website, called Save Our Orange County Community, that lists the names of 25 residents and Universal Orlando as opponents of the project. According to the website and mailer, if

Skyplex is built as it’s currently proposed, it will “change the character and face of our community forever. This project will result in noise and light pollution, as well as more traffic at the heavily congested intersection of Sand Lake Road and International Drive.” The mailer tells residents to contact Orange County Mayor Teresa Jacobs and the Orange County Board of County Commissioners to tell them vote no on an exception that would allow Skyplex to build the massive 700-foot coaster. The group also has a petition, which currently has 376 signatures, asking Orange County to “limit the height of the Skyplex tower to 300 feet based on the distance of the attraction from its neighboring communities, and the overwhelming amount of light pollution it would impose on those who call Dr. Phillips home.” In October, Skyplex launched its own petition, collecting 1,550 signatures, to let Skyplex become a “symbol of Orlando.” The Orange County Commission will vote on Skyplex in December. – Monivette Cordeiro

Letters to the Future Scientists, authors and activists imagine what the world will be like once climate change has really taken hold

orld leaders from more than 190 countries will convene in Paris during the first two weeks of December for the long-awaited United Nations Climate Change Conference. Will the governments of the world finally pass a binding global treaty aimed at reducing the most dangerous impacts of global warming … or will they fail in this task? Letters to the Future, a national project involving more than 40 alternative weeklies across the United States, set out to find authors, artists, scientists and others willing to get creative and draft letters to future generations of their own families, predicting the success or failure of the Paris talks – and what came after. Some participants were optimistic about what is to come – some not so much.

Brief Opportunities By Jan e Smiley

Dear Great-Great-Granddaughter, Do you remember your grandmother Veronica? I am writing to you on the very day that your grandmother Veronica turned 7 months old – she is my first grandchild, and she is your grandmother. That is how quickly time passes and people are born, grow up and pass on. When I was your age, I did not realize how brief our opportunities are to change the direction of the world we live in. The world you live in grew out of the world I live in, and I want to tell you a little bit about the major difficulties of my world and how they have affected your world. On the day I am writing this letter, the Speaker of the House of Representatives quit his job because his party, called “the Republicans,” refused absolutely to work with or compromise with the other party, now defunct, called “the Democrats.” The refusal of the Republicans to work with the Democrats was what led to the government collapse in 2025, and the breakup of what to you is the Former United States.

The states that refused to acknowledge climate change or, indeed, science, became the Republic of America, and the other states became West America and East America. I lived in West America. You probably live in East America, because West America became unlivable owing to climate change in 2050. That the world was getting hotter and dryer, that weather was getting more chaotic, and that humans were getting too numerous for the ecosystem to support was evident to most Americans by the time I was 45, the age your mother is now. At first, it did seem as though all Americans were willing to do something about it, but then the oil companies (with names like Exxon and Mobil) realized that their profits were at risk, and they dug in their heels. They underwrote all sorts of government corruption in order to deny climate change and transfer as much carbon dioxide out of the ground and into the air as they could. The worse the weather and the climate became the more they refused to budge, and Americans, but also the citizens of other countries, kept using coal, diesel fuel and gasoline. Transportation was the hardest thing to

give up, much harder than giving up the future, and so we did not give it up, and so there you are, stuck in the slender strip of East America that is overpopulated, but livable. I am sure you are a vegan, because there is no room for cattle, hogs or chickens, which Americans used to eat. West America was once a beautiful place – not the parched desert landscape that it is now. Our mountains were green with oaks and pines, mountain lions and coyotes and deer roamed in the shadows, and there were beautiful flowers nestled in the grass. It was sometimes hot, but often cool. Where you see abandoned, flooded cities, we saw smooth beaches and easy waves. What is the greatest loss we have bequeathed you? I think it is the debris, the junk, the rotting bits of clothing, equipment, vehicles and buildings that you see everywhere. We have left you a mess. But I know that it is dangerous for you to go for walks – the human body wasn’t built to tolerate lows of 90 degrees Fahrenheit and highs of 140. When I was alive, I thought I was trying to save you, but I didn’t try hard enough, or at least, I didn’t try to save you as hard as my opponents tried to destroy you. I don’t know why they did that. I could never figure that out. Sadly, Great-Greatgrandma Jane Jane Smiley, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1992 for her novel A Thousand Acres, has composed numerous novels and works of nonfiction.

Sorry About That By T.C . B oy l e

Dear Rats of the Future: Congratulations on your bipedalism: It’s always nice to be able to stand tall when you need it, no? And great on losing that tail, too ( just as we lost ours). No need for that awkward (and let’s face it: ugly) kind of balancing tool when you walk upright, plus it makes fitting into your blue jeans a whole lot easier. Do you wear blue jeans – or their equivalent? No need, really, I suppose, since you’ve no doubt retained your body hair. Well, good for you. Sorry about the plastics. And the radiation. And the pesticides. I really regret that you won’t be hearing any birdsong anytime soon, either, but at least you’ve got that wonderful musical cawing of the crows to keep your mornings bright. And, of course, I do expect that as you’ve grown in stature and brainpower you’ve learned to deal with the feral cats, your one-time orlandoweekly.com

nemesis, but at best occupying a kind of ratty niche in your era of ascendancy. As for the big cats – the really scary ones, tiger, lion, leopard, jaguar – they must be as remote to you as the mammoths were to us. It goes without saying that with the extinction of the bears (polar bears: they were a pretty silly development anyway, and of no use to anybody beyond maybe trophy hunters) and any other large carnivores, there’s nothing much left to threaten you as you feed and breed and find your place as the dominant mammals on earth. (I do expect that the hyenas would have been something of a nasty holdout, but as you developed weapons, I’m sure you would have dispatched them eventually.) Apologies, too, about the oceans, and I know this must have been particularly hard on you since you’ve always been a seafaring race, but since you’re primarily vegetarian, I don’t imagine that the extinction of fish would have much affected you. And if it did, out of some nostalgia for the sea that can’t be fully satisfied by whatever hardtack may have survived us, try jellyfish. They’ll be about the only thing out there now, but I’m told they can be quite palatable, if not exactly mouth-watering, when prepared with sage and onions. Do you have sage and onions? But forgive me: Of course you do. You’re an agrarian tribe at heart, though in our day we certainly did introduce you to city life, didn’t we? Bright lights, big city, right? At least you don’t have to worry about abattoirs, piggeries, feed lots, bovine intestinal gases and the like – or, for that matter, the ozone layer, which would have been long gone by the time you started walking on two legs. Does that bother you? The UV rays, I mean? But no, you’re a nocturnal tribe anyway, right? Anyway, I just want to wish you all the best in your endeavors on this big blind rock hurtling through space. My advice? Stay out of the laboratory. Live simply. And, whatever you do, please – I beg you – don’t start up a stock exchange. With best wishes, T.C. Boyle P.S. In writing you this missive, I am, I suppose, being guardedly optimistic that you will have figured out how to decode this ape language I’m employing here – especially given the vast libraries we left you when the last of us breathed his last. A novelist and short story writer, T.C. Boyle has published 14 novels and more than 100 short stories.

Seize the Moment Bill mCKiBBen

Dear Descendants, The first thing to say is, sorry. We were the last generation to know the world before full-on climate change made it a treacherous place. That we didn’t get sooner to work slowing it down is our great shame, and you live with the unavoidable consequences. That said, I hope that we made at least some difference. There were many milestones in the fight – Rio, Kyoto, the debacle at Copenhagen. By the time the great Paris climate conference of 2015 rolled around, many of us were inclined to cynicism. And our cynicism was well-taken. The delegates to that convention, representing governments that were still unwilling to take more than baby steps, didn’t really grasp the nettle. They looked for easy, around-the-edges fixes, ones that wouldn’t unduly alarm their patrons in the fossil-fuel industry. So many others seized the moment that Paris offered to do the truly important thing: organize. There were meetings and marches, disruptions and disobedience. We came out of it more committed than ever to taking on the real power that be. The real changes flowed in the months and years past Paris, when people made sure that their institutions pulled money from oil and coal stocks, and when they literally sat down in the way of the coal trains and the oil pipelines. People did the work governments wouldn’t – and as they weakened the fossil fuel industry, political leaders grew ever so slowly bolder. We learned a lot that year about where power lay: less in the words of weak treaties than in the zeitgeist we could create with our passion, our spirit and our creativity. Would that we had done it sooner! An author, educator and environmentalist, McKibben is co-founder of 350.org, a planetwide grass-roots climate change movement.

tence changed when the Paris climate talks failed, it harkens to the late-20th century rap duo Eric B. & Rakim. Music is forever. Probably, it sounds crazy that the musical idiom best known in your time as the foundation of the worldwide cough syrup industry could ever have imparted anything enlightening. You can look it up, though – before the Telecommunications Act of ’96 such transformations happened not infrequently. But that’s another letter. MC Rakim had this scrap of lyric from “Teach the Children” – a pro-environment slapper that hit the atmosphere closer to Valdez newspaper headline days than when the Web gave us pictures of death smoke plumes taking rise above Iraq. For you, these are abstract epochs. Alaska still had permafrost, the formerly frozen soil that kept methane safely underground. The domino that fell, permafrost. And I could tell you that humans skied Earth’s mountains. Yes, I know: snow. An antique reference, no question. That Rakim verse. It went: Teach the children, save the nation I see the destruction, the situation They’re corrupt, and their time’s up soon But they’ll blow it up and prepare life on the moon My bounty, it’s easy to Monday-morning quarterback* from my 2015 vantage point. But I did not do an adequate job of teaching the children about what our corporate overlords had in store for them. Didn’t do it with Exxon or Volkswagen. Didn’t do it when Rakim initially sold me on the premise. And to be honest I haven’t done a bunch of it this year, as sinkholes form and trees fall in parts of the Arctic that Mother Earth could only ever imagine frozen solid. Make no mistake, I want these words to function as much as a godspeed note as one of confession. Good luck with your new methane-dictated normal, and the sonic pollution and spiritual upset of those executive flights to colonized Mars. Or, as the President calls that planet, the Home Office. Conditions should have never come to this, though. And we’ll always have Paris, to remind us of what might have been. Grandpappy Donnell *The NFL will be around forever, like herpes.

Moral Monsters By reBe CC a n ew Ber g er g olDSTein

Dear Descendants, If you are reading this, then you must exist, and so my greatest fears haven’t been realized. We didn’t manage to eradicate our kind from the universe. In my darkest hours, routinely arriving at 4 in the morning, that’s what I feared, a universe in which our species had disappeared, taking along with it many other life forms that had once flourished on earth. I’d lie awake mourning all those life forms, but – call me anthropocentric – most especially the humans. A universe emptied of humans, with all of our fancies and follies, seemed to me an immeasurably reduced universe. So at least you exist – only under what conditions I can’t begin to imagine. I don’t know whether you’re reading this on Earth and, if you are, whether you’re huddled inside an artificial environment to protect yourself from deadly radiation. Or perhaps you’ve colonized another planet or built a system of space stations, using your human ingenuity to adapt to an alien environment for which evolution didn’t naturally equip you. Perhaps you only know about what it was like to welcome each changing season on Earth – smell the fecund moist earth of spring, feel the silky sultriness of summer nights, listen to the silence of snow falling heavily in the forest – by reading the writings of us ancients. Wherever you are, struggling with whatever hostile conditions constraining the choices that we took for granted, you must look back at your ancestors – us – with outraged incredulity. How could we not have cared about you at all, you wonder? You are our kith and kin. Didn’t we consider that you deserved the same rights to flourish as we presumed for ourselves? It’s ironic, because we often looked back at our ancestors with outraged incredulity, wondering how they couldn’t have seen, say, that slavery or misogyny were wrong. Were they moral monsters, we’d wonder? Do you wonder exactly the same about us? Well, we weren’t monsters. Really, we weren’t. We were human, all too human. And being human we tended to prioritize our own lives, our own selfinterest, over those of others. It’s not that other selves meant nothing at all to

us. But our own selves always meant so much more. And here’s another feature of our evolution-shaped human nature that, through no malice at all, conspired to doom you. (You understand, I’m not justifying our behavior, just trying to explain it to you.) We discounted the future. The future seemed so hazy, so uncertain, while the present … well, it was present. The now was vividly pressing on us, always, real and fully formed. Our psychology evolved out of a past when human life was “nasty, brutish, and short.” And because we weren’t able to overcome that psychology, to think in ways larger and more generous, the future we’ve bequeathed you is at least as precarious as the past out of which we emerged. I fear it is unimaginably nasty. You just weren’t very real to us, you others who didn’t even enjoy the privilege of existing. How could your claims, so ghostly as to be ungraspable, constrain our choices, rein in our desires? And we were so inventive in our technologies, which pelted us with more and more things to want, amusements to distract us from what we should have been thinking about – which was you. And now it’s we who no longer exist. Perhaps you’d just as soon forget about our existence, as we forgot about yours. If only you could, I imagine you thinking. If only you could blot us out of your consciousness just as thoroughly as we blotted you out of ours. If there are still storytellers among you – if that’s a human capacity that you can still indulge – then do a better job then we did in making the lives of others felt. Each and every life, when its time comes, a towering importance. May you flourish. May you forgive us.

landscape orientation Instead of imposing a narrative upon nature, Dawn Roe and Bruce Marsh let nature participate By Richa R d Reep CONTEMPORARY AND HISTORIC LANDSCAPES through Jan. 3, 2016 | Maitland Art Center, 231 W. Packwood Ave., Maitland | 407-539-2181 | artandhistory.org | $3

t the Art & History Museums in Maitland, some soul still shines while the rest of this suburban community lingers in a post-apocalyptic twilight of dead grocery stores, dilapidated Quonset huts masquerading as an urban nexus, and grotesque carbuncles of neo-traditional architecture. Inside the Research Studio (as the Maitland Art Center was originally christened) this fall, the gallery chronicles how we got to our current outlook on this world. Past, present and future points of view are presented in the

trope of the landscape, a near-moribund art form valiantly resuscitated by artists Bruce Marsh and Dawn Roe. Together with portraits and still lifes, landscapes were the mainstay of art school tradition. A certain perspective view – vanishing point off to one side, horizon line encircling the foreground like a protective arm – became no less ritualistic than a Japanese ink wash. By the postwar era, this art form was so embedded in our Western eyes that we continually repeated it to affirm our point of view about nature – and our place as conqueror above it. Multiple examples from Rollins College’s permanent collection reaffirm this formula; Daubigny’s “River Landscape,” from 1860, is typical. A river bends around trees, vanishing behind them. Sky reflects in the still

water. Sun silhouettes the foregrounded trees. The viewer gazes upon nature fondly: everything in its place, beauty tamed by the discerning eye of man. Marsh, who hails from rural Ruskin, Florida, continues this tradition, but with a modern twist. Florida’s dramatic postthunderstorm sky is reflected in the wet pavement of “Intersection With Clouds.” Here, the monolith of pavement we have come to know and love is prettily rendered, its accoutrements of stoplights and gas stations no less well composed for their modernity. The conqueror’s gaze lovingly envelops the scene, as in Marsh’s other paintings. In the last gallery, Roe shows us a different way of seeing. Recently, our relationship with nature has gone a little off-kilter, what with global climate change and Texassized Pacific trash patches. Roe went to Australia’s abandoned gold mines to shoot, and pairs up photographs that just don’t fit into the old ritual loveliness, instead breeding a dark, unsettling feeling of rupture and of nature as active participant, as an equal, to the artist. orlandoweekly.com

●

Wrapping tree trunks in gold fabric, Roe lampoons the once-greedy miners, but the glowering clouds don’t relieve the scene with sunshine. Instead of framing a pretty set piece, Roe deliberately composes her images with menacing trees in the foreground, and sometimes she puts little gold effects here and there to taunt the viewer with something man-made. As an environmental artist, Roe’s point of view is uncertain, revealing a timeshift toward the future, when nature is no longer something tamed but something of its own, partially observed. Instead of imposing a narrative upon nature, Roe lets nature participate in the storyline. Both Roe and Marsh work en plein air, outdoors with their subject matter. Marsh integrates man-made works of late – rusty pipes, airplane hangars – into the classical perspective, while Roe plays with time as the photographer documenting a scene. Both artists offer some badly needed perspective to construct a new point of view about our world.

interact with nothing but their hands. I got a brief demo of their new Maestro technology, which uses a Kinect-esque sensor to let you fling bolts of 3-D lightning with a flick of your fingers. When finished, guests will glide past sets and video projections, waving their arms to launch colorful blasts at the blocky bad guys. It took a bit of trial and error to calibrate my aim (hopefully you’ll be able to practice in the queue before boarding), but Maestro could be the most exciting advancement in interactive rides since Disney’s Toy Story Mania.

The ’80s are back in the arcade

BY SETH KUBERSKY

Zombies, zip lines and virtual reality score big at this year’s IAAPA expo Mid-November is IAAPA time, as the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions brings their enormous annual expo of theme park products to the Orange County Convention Center. The 2015 event, the second-largest IAAPA ever, seemed slightly less frenetic than some past years, but there was still plenty of free food to sample (I rediscovered Beaver Tails, flat funnel cakes once sold in Epcot’s Canada), swag to collect (Lego toys and real pearls were this year’s premium giveaways), and … oh yeah … new rides and games to test out.

Zippier zip lines

A couple of years ago, zip lines were all the rage at IAAPA. You’ll still find a few, mostly integrated into increasingly popular indoor climbing courses. But Extreme Engineering stood out on the show floor this year with their Cloud Coaster, a fullcircuit zip line that pulls dangling riders uphill before releasing them into a course of curves and drops. I’ve done roller coasterstyle zip lines before (notably at Forever Florida) but the lift mechanism was a novelty, and whizzing through the air with my feet dangling just above conventioneers’

Over in IAAPA’s arcade area, it’s look looking more like 1985 than 2015, thanks to a revival of interest in icons from the Reagan era. Super Mario’s new full-body Olympic simulator threatened to do to my middleaged ankles what his early Nintendo games did to my thumbs, while Namco’s World’s Biggest Pac-Man machine is just like I remembered it, only on a screen taller than I am. My favorite gaming blast from the past was Ghostbusters, a new sit-down shooter blending computer graphics with heads was one of the best thrills I found physical ping-pong balls that players launch on the expo floor. at Slimer and the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man. Who ya gonna call … when you run Zombies are (still) coming out of quarters?

to get you

Longtime horror fans may look at today’s ongoing zombie renaissance with a mix of bemusement and exhaustion, but the living dead’s popularity with the general public doesn’t seem to be over yet. Zombie-inspired products at this year’s IAAPA expo ranged from plush toys to a paintball-gun-festooned hayride truck, and animatronic lurchers sprayed “blood” in my mouth inside two separate haunted houses. The big zombie news was a partnership between Sally Corp. (creators of Six Flags’ hit Justice League: Battle for Metropolis dark rides) and AMC Networks to build an interactive “very dark ride” based on The Walking Dead, with riders attempting to kill walkers while collecting supplies inside locations from the TV series. No theme park has claimed the concept yet, and (as with Universal’s use of the license during Halloween) the show’s living leads’ likenesses aren’t included, but the impressive robotic corpse on display made me optimistic.

More ds are out, Vr r is in

I’m grateful to report that the Dimension Wars, which saw 3-D attraction vendors trying to top each other with extra Ds, seems to have died down. Although there was the odd Asian vendor still hawking “9-D” simulators, the D’s day has passed, and VR is again ascendant. The new generation of virtual reality headsets, from Google Cardboard to Oculus Rift, was out in force to preview or enhance a number of advertised attractions. Dollywood is letting fans ride their Lightning Rod launched wooden coaster before it’s built by way of a 3-D, 360-degree YouTube simulation, and multiple manufacturers demonstrated motion simulators whose screens were replaced by headsets (most of which I found too blurry or bulky for comfort). Mack Rides blew everyone else out of the expo by sending them up I-Drive to Fun Spot, where they temporarily rigged the Freedom Flyer suspended steel coaster with Samsung VR headsets. I took it for a spin, and was immersed in a sci-fi CGI Getting hands-on with legos cityscape under attack by a giant robot. As Blasting baddies with a plastic gun is the coaster soared and swooped, I seemed all well and good, and many manufactur- to evade explosions and dodge collapsing ers had shooting gallery attractions on buildings, turning a tame family coaster offer. But Triotech has done away with into an epic E-ticket.

get yourself a pile of buttery biscuits from The Coop (we named these wonders best biscuit in our 2015 best of Orlando issue) and set them atop a wooden cutting board. Provide jams and jellies from Swine & Sons – we love their Hot Honey – plus thick slices of smoked and cured tennessee-style ham from The Meat House. add a cute grandma’s-house dish of relish to put on top and you’ve brought the party to the kitchen, which is where everyone wants to be anyway. On the side, serve a spread of pimiento cheese from Highball & Harvest at the Ritz-Carlton Grande Lakes or Se7en Bites alongside some Ritz crackers (true southerners know this is the most authentic choice) and some bread-andbutter pickles from Clemons Produce. While you’re at Clemons, buy a couple of pounds of green peanuts and throw them in the slow cooker the night before with some jalapeños, garlic powder, salt and Cajun seasoning. Easy peasy. For something sweet as pie but easier to eat standing and chatting, pick up cobblers in a jar or apple pie pops from P Is for Pie Bakeshop.

stuff on a stick is always a hit, so play to your guests’ more primitive side with anticuchos, classic Peruvian street food that consists of marinated meat on a stick. Offer several options – chicken tenders and thinly sliced flank steak will please pickier palates, while adventurous types will rave over the more traditional offal cuts like beef or chicken hearts (both are super affordable and available at Publix Sabor). Keep the meat in the fridge for at least eight hours in a marinade of cumin, parsley, cilantro, salt, pepper, garlic and red wine vinegar. skewer before guests arrive and set up a fire pit for guests to gather and grill if you’ve got outdoor space (if not: broiler pan). Head to Whole Foods for ceviche, and pick up the traditional accompaniments – corn on the cob and sweet potatoes – at Boston Market. Sedano’s is a good source for canchita, a puffed corn snack served warm, so toast the kernels carefully over medium heat right before the party pops off. Camila Sweets sells alfajores by the dozen at the Winter Park Farmers Market and at a kiosk in the altamonte Mall. the butter cookies sandwiched with dulce de leche are liberally dusted with powdered sugar, so it’s best to eat them like you would a beignet – with a dropcloth. throw on some classic salsa like Willie Colon, Oscar de leon or Hector lavoe and you have yourself a fiesta.

Just for a night, consider bringing the gastropub home. lay out the white tablecloths and brown butcher paper, serve everything on wood planks and cutting boards, and crank up the alabama shakes. start things off with a spread of local charcuterie from Hinckley’s Fancy Meats at East End Market, where all the cured meats are made in-house, and cheeses from Winter Park Dairy, which you can find at Homegrown Local Food Cooperative. Round things out with rich honey from Goldenrod Apiaries, crackers and toast points from Olde Hearth Bread Co. (also available at East End) and pickled vegetables from Cask & Larder. Pick up a dozen Lake Meadow Naturals eggs and give them a 13-minute boil, then devil them any way you like and prepare to watch your friends hoover them like spilled glitter. For dessert, order frozen delights from the Pop Parlour to keep in the freezer until everyone needs an icy refresher. With pop flavors made from local ingredients like Cigar City beer, they’re well in keeping with the theme.

North Quarter Tavern This sister restaurant to Citrus brings a relaxed attitude, good service and a food-focused ethic to downtown’s North Quarter district. Chef Matt Wall is all about ticker-testing 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; $$

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 wine and cocktail list. 8323 Sand Lake Road, 407-500-7528; $$$

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. Disney Springs, 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; $ n

Stranger in a strange land Brooklyn does a remarkable job capturing the impossibly bittersweet experience of immigration By M a rya n n J oha n s o n

Brooklyn

HHHHH

n 2011, I moved from New York to London. I can make free video-phone calls to my friends and family, and I can be home in a few hours. Planes go back and forth between the two cities with the regularity of a bus schedule (if, alas, for quite a bit more than bus fare). But still, it was hard to move overseas. It remains an emotional challenge to be separated from people I love back home, even as I grow more emotionally connected to my new home. So I cannot even imagine what it must have been like for Eilis Lacey (Saoirse Ronan). She’s not a real person – this movie is based on Colm Tóibín’s completely fictional award-winning novel – but Brooklyn beautifully and sensitively portrays the universal experience of countless immigrants who’ve taken long journeys to new lives and have had to come to terms with how it changes them. For Eilis, departing her small town in County Wexford, Ireland, for New York City in the early 1950s, this means a multi-day sea voyage, no phone calls from home (except,

maybe, in extremely rare circumstances) – certainly no Skype! – and only an occasional letter to break the homesickness. Brooklyn had me bawling, then, from the moment when Eilis is waving goodbye to her sister, Rose (Fiona Glascott), from the deck of the ship taking her away. It’s a sad leave-taking, but also a hopeful one: There is no work for Eilis at home – she is a smart, ambitious young woman who dreams of becoming an accountant – but plenty available in faraway America. If there’s a future for Eilis, and she does want one, it is not in Ireland. The poignancy of being torn between two places and torn between competing desires wells up often in Brooklyn, and there are never easy answers to the conflicts. There aren’t any villains here, so there aren’t many people who are easy to scratch off Eilis’ list of people pulling her in multiple directions. A nasty, gossip-mongering shop owner (Brid Brennan) in Wexford might come close, but if Eilis is ever waiting for her decisions to be made easier by, say, her frosty boss (Jessica Paré) at the New York department store she works at while studying accounting, or the strict landlady (Julie Walters) at the Brooklyn boarding house where she lives, that will never come. Movie lovers who prefer realistic characters over cartoony ones will be delighted. orlandoweekly.com

Oh, and there won’t be any easy choices when it comes to deciding between Tony (Emory Cohen), the “Italian fella” she meets in New York, and Jim (Domhnall Gleeson), the old friend she grows closer to when she returns home for what she intends to be a brief visit. They’re both decent guys who truly care for her, and whom she truly cares for as well. Bring Kleenex. This is an extraordinary film in many ways, and many of them come back to Ronan, and her elegantly nuanced performance. The triumph and the tragedy of Eilis is that her world gets bigger, which means she has to reconsider everything about where she is and what she wants, and all of that gets communicated to us via the most subtle of changes in her facial expressions and her body language. We see Eilis grow in confidence, and sometimes it seems as if she is not even aware of how she is growing as a person until she is confronted with newly impossible choices. Eventually, though, even she is comfortable with the woman she has become, and it is an absolute joy to behold, especially because we have been given such a marvelous understanding of just how bittersweet the trials were that shaped her. feedback@orlandoweekly.com NOV. 25-DEC. 1, 2015

dark humor Drama about blacklisted Hollywood director Dalton Trumbo cuts deep By Ma rya n n J oha n son

Trumbo

HHHHH

or a prestige drama about one of the more shameful periods in American history, Trumbo is surprisingly funny. It feels good to laugh at the idiocy surrounding the Hollywood blacklist of the 1950s, if only so that you don’t have to think too much about how widespread support was for the actions of the House un-American Activities Committee. Of course, Trumbo can’t make you forget that this crap is going on right now; the movie is more whistling past the graveyard, because laughing makes for a fine change of pace over crying. It’s sort of marvelous how director Jay

Roach – whose prior films have all been outrageous (sometimes outright stupid) comedies such as Meet the Fockers and the Austin Powers series – balances the silly and the solemn here. There’s almost a whiff of something Coen Brothers in its slick sharpness. As screenwriter Dalton Trumbo, Bryan Cranston finds a kind of infectious joy in the terrible and unjust situation of being “accused” of something – being a member of the Communist Party – that isn’t illegal, and being punished for standing on principle. He’d done nothing wrong and he wasn’t going to rat out his friends to save his own skin. Trumbo was probably the best known victim of the blacklist that saw him denied work and even sent to prison, and the impact on his life and work was significant: He was forced to write movies under false names, often for obscenely low pay, and even won Oscars that he could not pub-

licly acknowledge. Yet Trumbo treats this all as a lark, a grand adventure, and above all, fodder for creative inspiration. In a less beautifully accomplished film, saying that it treats something so grave as a lark would sound like harsh criticism, but the astonishing thing about Trumbo is that its lighthearted approach is actually deadly earnest. It buoys every point it has to make about freedom of speech and thought, and about having the courage of your convictions: When you have no interest in selling your soul, you have to laugh in the face of those who want to buy it. The film mines much of its ironic humor from its depictions of fear and betrayal in an industry devoted to and driven by profit and populated by insecure people terrified of losing their wealth and their privilege. The villains here are those who pander to public fear and ignorance, such as gossip columnist Hedda Hopper (Helen Mirren, in one of her great performances), who sees existential threats to America everywhere and lashes out with vicious cruelty in response; she could fairly be

deemed the Ann Coulter of her day, and Trumbo makes her look like a tiny, terrified rodent. A dangerous terrified rodent, to be sure, but one to be looked upon with pity, and to whom disdain is the best response. Ah, but Trumbo is not wholly kind to Trumbo, either! It gives him a foil in fellow screenwriter Arlen Hird (a fictional composite of other real-life blacklisted screenwriters); the comedian Louis C.K. is astonishingly good in his most dramatic role yet as an angry straight man to Trumbo’s insouciant exuberance. Hird decries Trumbo for how he “talk[s] like a radical but ... live[s] like a rich guy,” and is even more devoted to changing the world than Trumbo is. Hird paints Trumbo as the classic cliché of the Hollywood liberal, and it’s tough not to agree with Hird. But it’s also impossible not to see even classic-cliché-Hollywoodliberal Trumbo as most definitely an outsider. For all the many movies that Hollywood loves to make about itself and its foibles, this may be the one that cuts the deepest into its own fantasies about itself. feedback@orlandoweekly.com

OPENING IN orlando

VICTOR FRANKENSTEIN By steve schn eid er

Opening THiS week Creed Did you know that Scott Stapp’s Facebook profile pic is a Sticky Fingers-esque portrait of his own crotch? I point this out for two reasons: One, because it’s always a good time to take a shot at the Stappster; and Two, because I thought it would be fun to scare you into thinking that Creed is a biopic of the worst grunge act that wasn’t Candlebox. Actually, the movie is the latest sequel to Rocky, which is somehow markedly less frightening. This time, Mr. Balboa makes like Burgess Meredith, training the son of his former sparring partner, Apollo Creed. If you’ve noticed, the Rocky pictures that are more artistically credible are the ones that are seen by fewer people. Since this one was written and directed by the guy who made Fruitvale Station, expect it to close in two weeks. (PG-13) The Good Dinosaur You gotta love how Disney always finds new ways to appease the fundamentalists. I still haven’t gotten over The Haunted Mansion revealing that the 999 happy haunts were just pining to blow that popsicle stand and make their way to heaven. Now we have Pixar’s The Good Dinosaur, which explores the supportive relationship between a human and his favorite Apatosaur. (Fun fact: “The Apatosaur” is what Seth Rogen calls Judd Apatow.)

Wait a minute: Humans and dinos coexisting on the same planet? At the same time? Yep, in this universe, that infamous meteorite never hit, allowing the larger reptiles to go right on livin’. But if you know your fundies, you know that the image of a man riding a T-rex is Page 3 of the homeschooling handbook. Expect further theological/historical insights in the sequel, All Dinos Go to Heaven. (PG) Victor Frankenstein There’s only a year until Universal launches its shared universe populated by new versions of its classic monsters. (My personal prediction is a success rate somewhere between Van Helsing and the Groovie Ghoulies.) Until then, rivals like 20th Century Fox get to muddy the waters with pictures like Victor Frankenstein, which casts James McAvoy as the good doctor and Daniel Radcliffe as Igor. The film is said to focus less on the monster’s creation and more on the relationship between the mad scientist and his assistant. Makes sense: Every time I go to Universal’s Monsters Café, the walls are festooned with glossies of Dwight Frye looking meaningfully into Colin Clive’s eyes.

ROaDkill GhOst ChOiR ∙ DERRy DOwN PROjECt ∙ OW’s 25th aNNiVERsaRy

although roadkill Ghost Choir moved to Athens, Georgia, following the favorable response to their debut, In Tongues (and the major festivals, up-ticked touring and national TV appearance that went with it), their ties to their hometown, DeLand, remain strong. They return to their family-owned North Avenue Studios this year to record their much-anticipated follow-up. We took advantage of the band being back in town to catch up with Roadkill Ghost Choir, so this month’s Off the Avenue shakes up the formula a bit and sees Roadkill singer Andrew Shepard in a special interview to find out more about the album. It doesn’t have a name yet (or Shepard has yet to reveal it), but it will feature the sequel to popular single “Beggar’s Guild” off the band’s debut EP, 2012’s Quiet Light. Go to orlandoweekly.com to see the video and read a full profile on Roadkill Ghost Choir, where Shepard’s snark almost overshadows his earnest soulful appeal as he mockingly forecasts the band’s future (which includes investing in more than one

Papa John’s) and admits Roadkill Ghost Choir is a “terrible name” that “just stuck.” we followed up with the derry down Project this week to get more details on the progress of the revival of the Derry Down Building in Winter Haven, a youth center where Gram Parsons performed his first show with his first professional band. It seems renovations have slowed due to the building’s bathrooms and air conditioning not being up to code. The project is dedicated to retaining the building’s old feel from 1964, so they’re working to raise funds to bring the building up to standards without intruding on the history they wish to honor with its revival. Earlier this month, they unveiled a new historic marker and next month, they’re hosting a benefit concert featuring the Hackensaw Boys (6:30 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 12). We have more information posted at orlandoweekly.com, and you can follow the project or contribute funds at facebook.com/thederrydownproject.

orlando’s as guilty of nostalgia as anyone can be, with loving tributes cropping up in our calendars regularly (including a rad 1995 cover show on Dec. 12 at Will’s Pub), and Orlando Weekly is feeling that old tug especially hard this year as we celebrate our 25th anniversary. We’re throwing a big party 7-11 p.m. Friday, Dec. 11, at Cheyenne Saloon, so if you haven’t heard about it, head to orlandoweekly.com/25th for more info. For now, we are looking for killer local bands to help transport us to 1990, when the paper first started, by playing hits from that year (you must have at least one song from 1990 in your proposed set). To apply, just fill out the application at the link above and include the songs your band wants to cover so we can consider all the options and build the most bangin’ lineup of the hits as humanly possible. All genres considered, so let your wayback machine go wild as you consider all the ways to make our anniversary one sweet dayyy.

conversation can turn your heart’s head as quick as a soul melody that sneaks in your ear. Especially when you’re a hardened road warrior living out of a Honda Fit on a constant tour cycle that finds you more often on a stranger’s couch than in the company of friends. These borrowed stories become your life’s narrative. For singer Kaleigh Baker, the people who confide in her play an integral part in generating new songs, so while she often meets these characters only fleetingly, their impact beats the same weathered path as the singer who takes these loaned tales of adventures and sorrows and channels them into

impressive vocal runs on her new album, Weary Hours. “When you’re a vocalist and you write words that people identify with, they feel like they know you, and they trust you a lot,” Baker says. “So I’ll meet people and have an hour or two-hour conversation or I’ll stay in someone’s home that’s offered me a couch, and they’ll tell me all their deepest, darkest secrets just because they feel like I get them. And I usually tell people, ‘Don’t tell me anything that you don’t want to end up in a song.’” Although Baker is now technically based out of Estes Park, Colorado (her cherished pit bull mixes were not welcome in her original desired location of Denver, thanks to a neurotic breed ban), her mad-woman touring lifestyle delivers her to Orlando every three months. Here you can find her performing in intimate spaces like Lil Indies or the Smiling Bison, but rarely do we get the full-band experience that will take over Will’s Pub all weekend to properly debut her latest record, which she

released in October 2015, four years after her last release. The time in between was spent doggedly refining her vocal chops in venues across America, but it also took her to one Orlando couch in particular where – although she may have left an indentation bumming around while sidelined from performing by an injury – the experience made a more lasting mark on her music’s evolution as heard on the new album. “I spent a little bit of time with Terri Binion during a difficult time in my career,” Baker says. “A lot of stuff was going on personally. And I was here in Florida and I had an injury that sat me out of some gigs I was here for, and I was really struggling. She kind of brought me in. “Waking up in the morning, I’m sulking around the house and she’s picking up a guitar and playing it. I couldn’t play at the time, so she put a banjo in my hand like pretty much, ‘Quit bitchin’. I’ll teach you how to play clawhammer. You only need one finger on the other hand.’ And the music she was playing, I would wake up in the morning just exhausted and super bummed out and she’s singing in the kitchen. There was a lot of music that she turned me on to.” You’ll likely sense that alt-country influence on the lovely bounce of “Sweater,” as well as laced into lead single and album opener “What Would Tom Waits Do.” The whole listen is steeped with Orlando love, as it was recorded in various studios and homes here and as Baker came up on the local scene, grinding out her absurdly exciting range in open mics by Full Sail University and gigging long cover sets until she’d worked the right muscles to finally emulate her hero, Chaka Khan. “I started picking up like five nights a week,” Baker says. “I was playing 3- or 4-hour gigs. That’s the training. It’s just singing 3 or 4 hours every day. And Chaka Khan. If you sing, specifically, Rufusized is my Catcher in the Rye. Every time I see it, I buy it and I give it to people. I like to give it to female vocalists. They’re like, ‘How do you do what you do?’ and I’m like, ‘Sing to Chaka Khan.’” Baker will perform songs from Weary Hours both nights, as well as a few additional surprises for longtime fans, then it’s back to her Fit life, touring up the East Coast and rounding back out west to take a much-deserved break. That is, if she can make it past Orlando city limits. “It’s hard to get out of Orlando because so much great stuff happens here that you kind of get sucked back in,” Baker says. “I have a hard time spending as much time in other places, because I’m spoiled here. Very spoiled. People are really good to me here.”

Bleubird BY B AO L E - H U U

Shit’s been pretty dark lately in both music and the world in general. But be thankful and be good to each other. The sun will shine again.

PHOTO BY TIPSO PHOTO

THE BEAT

A “Toy Piano Project” sounds like something perhaps involving Fisher-Price and local circuit-bender Dr. Moonstien, particularly when I mention that a Speak & Spell was employed. Instead, this curious enterprise is the brainchild of Elizabeth A. Baker. Baker is a credentialed pianist from St. Pete who’s a bright mind in the young wave of avant-garde classical music. She appeared at the In-Between Series in Jim Ivy’s Tangled Bell Ensemble back in May, but returned this time (Nov. 16, Gallery at Avalon Island) on her own toy piano crusade to kick off a national tour. It could be that you’re not especially familiar with the toy piano as a serious concert instrument. I’m not, and I’ll go out on a limb and say that’s probably most of us. But even if you are au courant in the arcane device, smart-ass, it’s likely your conception will be notably widened after seeing her sonic and theoretical examination of it. Baker opened with perhaps the most famous work written for the instrument, John Cage’s “Suite for Toy Piano.” Though she took appropriate liberty with the notes, it was sonically straight. It wasn’t until the next piece – one of her own originals, tentatively titled “Meditation for Water, Wind and Metal” – that her genius really blossomed.

This gifted MC packs as much colorful swag as any big-name Southern rapper, but with none of the bullshit bravado and 10 times the personality. This most arresting passage of the evening employed deep reverb and delay effects to gather, synthesize and amplify sound to incredible atmospheric results. Reflected through her array, the ambient noise of the quiet room was escalated to a gripping otherworldly drone. Besides the featured toy piano, she punctuated the din as the working title suggests by engaging water with glockenspiel bars, cymbals and a colander. The technique was imaginative and the effect transporting, like some porthole to an alien sensory world. Baker’s other original composition, “Experimental Suite for Toy Piano With Electronics and Drums,” introduced accompanist Leo Suarez. Though it has little to do with this performance, I’m noting that he’s the drummer for savage new Tampa upcomer Meatwound because it’s a dope bit of trivia and I really think you should go get destroyed by them when they return to town to play Will’s Pub with Torche (Jan. 22). This appearance, however, showcased Suarez’s experimental free-jazz side with playing that was jarring, inventive and full of tension. As distinguished as the other composers she interpreted in this performance are,

Baker’s own pieces were by far the most provocative. Work like this is a sterling testimonial to her artistry, proving that she’s not simply an expert in the toy piano field but a pioneer. The notable hip-hop show headlined by Bleubird (Nov. 19, Backbooth) was a look at both what could and should be the face of Florida alternative rap. Although he’s from Ft. Lauderdale, Bleubird is a homegrown underground hero whose ties to the 407 go back deep and long enough for honorary citizenship. His name still has a lot of cachet here with the hip-hop cognoscenti but, really, this guy should be much bigger already. Even though he’s legitimately indie, this gifted MC packs as much colorful swag as any big-name Southern rapper, but with none of the bullshit bravado and 10 times the personality. He’s got so much natural charisma, in fact, that there’s an easy future for him in stand-up or spoken word if this rap thing doesn’t work out. Bleubird’s been in the game a long time and he’s way overdue for a break. He’s a brilliantly current voice that’s all steeze and originality, so now would be a just time. Speaking of, local opener Table for Three is also very much now. Aware and progressive, the young conscious-rap trio is the picture and sound of today, packing classic skills with modern sensibility and anenlightened viewpoint. Ensemble rap is a tricky-ass thing, and this threesome could use a little more tightening on the trades, but they’re sitting on a seriously enviable payload of potential. baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

OUR PICKS FOR THE BEST EVENTS THIS WEEK

Wednesday, Nov. 25

A Leg Up for Jenn Bartenders are tough cookies. They have to be to thrive in a workplace where the better you do your job, the louder and ruder the clientele get. So when Jennifer Harton, one of Lil Indies’ star bartenders, ended up snapping her ankle into pieces several weeks ago, she didn’t complain about it. Even though a bartender who can’t stand is a bartender who can’t earn money, Harton took it like a champ, keeping her woe-is-me story to herself – unlike many of the patrons who have indulged in her dangerously delicious concoctions at Lil Indies. Harton’s friends, however, couldn’t let such a linchpin of the boozing community take a fall without a little support. They’ve generously donated their goods and services to a raffle that will raise money to help defray Harton’s medical and living expenses until she can literally get back on her feet. The prizes are diverse, ranging from a New Belgium-branded cruiser bicycle to salon certificates to legal services, and proprietor Will Walker is donating all bar proceeds from 9-11 p.m. as well. So pop in on Thanksgiving Eve and check out Eugene Snowden at Lil Indies or the New Sam Rivers’ Rivbea Orchestra at Will’s to give thanks for tough bartenders – and maybe get a little something for yourself in the deal. – Thaddeus McCollum

AAHZ Presents: These Are the Breaks

Gwar

Don’t tell the kids, but electronic dance music is nothing new, especially here in Central Florida. Back in the ’90s, kids around here were trading in their guitars for turntables with such frequency that in 1997, Rolling Stone featured an article declaring Orlando the latest in a long line of “next Seattles” due to its strong rave and dance scene. Which, of course, put a nail in the coffin of that scene, but anyway. This week, former club kids reunite to relive their youth and dance to the Florida breaks that made the area so well known in their heyday. Local legends like DJ Icey, Kimball Collins and Andy Hughes spin sets that dust off the old-school classics of yesteryear, and U.K. garage duo Stanton Warriors headline the night with the signature mix of electro, house and breaks that permeates this year’s Rebel Bass, proving there’s much more to dance music than the current obsession with wubs and drops. – Thaddeus McCollum

Whether you side with Kim Dylla – who is pissed they might recast the character – or with Gwar – which is comprised of seriously dedicated dudes who couldn’t handle Dylla’s added fray – you can’t deny that either way Gwar’s showmanship wins out and their bizarro metal franchise overall will be unmarred by this failed experiment.

JC Sevcik Farewell Reading In our most recent Halloween issue, we broke the usual OW template and ran a series of flash-fiction stories submitted to us by writers who took part in There Will Be Words’ Halloween reading. One of the writers who submitted a story, JC Sevcik, is currently the writer in residence at the Kerouac House in College Park. Sevcik, a Seattlebased journalist who writes for the Stranger, UPI and the Daily Dot, has spent the last three months in Orlando working on his craft, and according to the Kerouac House, he’s working on a memoir about his experience in the troubled-teen industry (that is, those hard-core “scared straight” boot camp places that parents send their kids, thinking they’re doing something to help them). Tonight, Sevcik holds a farewell reading at Kerouac House – a residency tradition – before he packs up and heads back to Seattle. Bring a bottle of wine, settle in for a bit at the bungalow that Jack Kerouac once called home, and listen to what Sevcik has worked on since he’s been here. – Erin Sullivan LITERARY

43RD ANNUAL PERFORMANCE OF HANDEL’S MESSIAH

43rd Annual Performance of Handel’s Messiah MUSIC It’s firmly established as a Christmas favorite these days, but George Frideric Handel’s Messiah, his best-known work, was written in 1741 as an Easter offering. Regardless of which holiday it celebrates or your own religious beliefs, anyone can appreciate the rousing “Hallelujah” chorus – it’s one of those ubiquitous tunes that everyone can hum, even if their only knowledge of classical music is from commercials and cartoons. Orlando’s Messiah Choral Society has brought this glorious piece of music to life every year since 1973, welcoming all singers to join the society and help present this annual gift to the community. Even better, it’s free and open to the public. (Bring nonperishable food items for donation to Second Harvest Food Bank – it’s the least you can do in return.) Doors open at 2:15 p.m. and the music starts at 3; we can’t think of a better way to kick off the holiday season. – Jessica Bryce Young

Emeril Lagasse Internationally known chef Emeril Lagasse and his favorite interjection (“BAM!” for those unaware of celebrity chef catchphrases) come to the Dr. Phillips Center this week. For a hefty price, you can buy a ticket to the Walt Disney Theater to see Lagasse answer questions, sign books and cook one of his favorite dishes (hopefully Creole-inspired). Also hosting the night to talk barbecue will be John Rivers, owner of 4 Rivers Smokehouse and the Coop. The Dr. Phillips Center partnered with Publix to feature Lagasse and two other kitchen legends, so if you miss this chef, keep an eye out for Ina Garten and Guy Fieri next year. – Monivette Cordeiro

SUNDAY, NOV. 29

The Grand Collab One Year Anniversary M u s I C One of Orlando’s most bumping local showcases, the Grand Collab celebrates its first anniversary with a party that’s as bright as the smart event’s reputation over its brief history. Sniffing out artists without care to genre can skew a little messy and distracting live, like a grown-up show & tell with too much community Kool-Aid, but that’s not quite the way the Grand Collab’s tasteful organizers play the game. Instead, they craft a rare evening of conversation between diverse acts with a real flow, thanks to DJs and hosts who care to make your night, not just make a night. The party’s talent is legit, including Indigo Blak (senses-tingling R&B), the Welzeins (garage punk maniacs), Black Haw Shake (stop-in-your-tracks folk conjurer), Crenshaw (heated country rockers), plus a special bonus collab in the Grand Collab All Stars. – Ashley Belanger

with Indigo Blak, Black Haw Shake, the Welzeins, Crenshaw, the Grand Collab All Stars | 7:30 p.m. | Will’s Pub, 1042 N. Orange Ave. | willspub.org | $7

lulu E ig ht B a l l

By EMily FlaKE

urge you to be equally sensitive to the sources where you can obtain nourishment. Arrange your schedule so you consistently seek to gather what you need at the right time and place.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) “We are torn between nostalgia for the familiar and an urge for the foreign and strange,” wrote novelist Carson McCullers. “As often as not, we are homesick most for the places we have never known.” I’m guessing that these days you’re feeling that kind of homesickness. The people and places that usually comfort you don’t have their customary power. The experiences you typically seek out to strengthen your stability just aren’t having that effect. The proper response, in my opinion, is to go in quest of exotic and experimental stimuli. In ways you may not yet be able to imagine, they can provide the grounding you need. They will steady your nerves and bolster your courage. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) The Pekingese is a breed of dog that has been around for over 2,000 years. In ancient China, it was beloved by Buddhist monks and emperors’ families. Here’s the legend of its origin: A tiny marmoset and huge lion fell in love with each other, but the contrast in their sizes made union impossible. Then the gods intervened, using magic to make them the same size. Out of the creatures’ consummated passion, the first Pekingese was born. I think this myth can serve as inspiration for you. Amazingly, you may soon find a way to blend and even synergize two elements that are ostensibly quite different. Who knows? You may even get some divine help. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Author Virginia Woolf wrote this message to a dear ally: “I sincerely hope I’ll never fathom you. You’re mystical, serene, intriguing; you enclose such charm within you. The luster of your presence bewitches me … the whole thing is splendid and voluptuous and absurd.” I hope you will have good reason to whisper sweet things like that in the coming weeks. You’re in the Season of Togetherness, which is a favorable time to seek and cultivate interesting kinds of intimacy. If there is no one to whom you can sincerely deliver a memo like Woolf’s, search for such a person. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Some people are so attached to wearing a favorite ring on one of their fingers that they never take it off. They love the beauty and endearment it evokes. In rare cases, years go by and their ring finger grows thicker. Blood flow is constricted. Discomfort sets in. And they can’t remove their precious jewelry with the lubrication provided by a little olive oil or soap and water. They need the assistance of a jeweler who uses a small saw and a protective sheath to cut away the ring. I suspect this may be an apt metaphor for a certain situation in your life. Is it? Do you wonder if you should free yourself from a pretty or sentimental constriction that you have outgrown? If so, get help. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) “Most human beings have an almost infinite capacity for taking things for granted,” wrote Leo author Aldous Huxley. That’s the bad news. The good news is that in the coming weeks you are less likely to take things for granted than you have been in a long time. Happily, it’s not because your familiar pleasures and sources of stability are in jeopardy. Rather, it’s because you have become more deeply connected to the core of your life energy. You have a vivid appreciation of what sustains you. Your assignment: Be alert for the eternal as it wells up out of the mundane. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) In their quest to collect nectar, honeybees are attuned to the importance of proper timing. Even if flowering plants are abundant, the quality and quantity of the nectar that’s available vary with the weather, season and hour of the day. For example, dandelions may offer their peak blessings at 9 a.m., cornflowers in late morning and clover in mid-afternoon. I

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Are you willing to dedicate yourself fully to a game with rules that are constantly mutating? Are you resourceful enough to keep playing at a high level even if some of the other players don’t have as much integrity and commitment as you? Do you have confidence in your ability to detect and adjust to ever-shifting alliances? Will the game still engage your interest if you discover that the rewards are different from what you thought they were? If you can answer yes to these questions, by all means jump all the way into the complicated fun! SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) I suspect your body has been unusually healthy and vigorous lately. Is that true? If so, figure out why. Have you been taking better care of yourself? Have there been lucky accidents or serendipitous innovations on which you’ve been capitalizing? Make these new trends a permanent part of your routine. Now I’ll make a similar observation about your psychological well-being. It also seems to have been extra strong recently. Why? Has your attitude improved in such a way as to generate more positive emotions? Have there been fluky breakthroughs that unleashed unexpected surges of hope and good cheer? Make these new trends a permanent part of your routine. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) From the dawn of civilization until 1995, humans cataloged about 900 comets in our solar system. But since then, we have expanded that tally by over 3,000. Most of the recent discoveries have been made not by professional astronomers, but by laypersons, including two 13-yearolds. They have used the Internet to access images from the SOHO satellite placed in orbit by NASA and the European Space Agency. After analyzing the astrological omens, I expect you to enjoy a similar run of amateur success. So trust your rookie instincts. Feed your innocent curiosity. Ride your raw enthusiasm. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Whether or not you are literally a student enrolled in school, I suspect you will soon be given a final exam. It may not happen in a classroom or require you to write responses to questions. The exam will more likely be administered by life in the course of your daily challenges. The material you’ll be tested on will mostly include the lessons you have been studying since your last birthday. But there will also be at least one section that deals with a subject you’ve been wrestling with since early in your life – and maybe even a riddle from before you were born. Since you have free will, you can refuse to take the exam. But I hope you won’t. The more enthusiastic you are about accepting its challenge, the more likely it is that you’ll do well. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) For $70,000 per night, you can rent the entire country of Liechtenstein for your big party. The price includes the right to rename the streets while you’re there. You can also create a temporary currency with a likeness of you on the bills, have a giant rendition of your favorite image carved into the snow on a mountainside, and preside over a festive medievalstyle parade. Given your current astrological omens, I suggest you consider the possibility. If that’s too extravagant, I hope you will at least gather your legion of best friends for the Blowout Bash of the Decade. It’s time, in my opinion, to explore the mysteries of vivid and vigorous conviviality. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Are you available to benefit from a thunderbolt healing? Would you consider wading into a maelstrom if you knew it was a breakthrough in disguise? Do you have enough faith to harvest an epiphany that begins as an uproar? Weirdly lucky phenomena like these are on tap if you have the courage to ask for overdue transformations. Your blind spots and sore places are being targeted by life’s fierce tenderness. All you have to do is say, “Yes, I’m ready.”

This pretty white kitty is Snowball (a335809). She might not be able to help you build a snowman, but she’ll steal your heart the second you meet her. This 6-month-old little ball of fluff cannot stop purring once you pet her. Snowball is a happy cat who’s friendly toward other cats and dogs. She gets along with everyone she meets. Orange County Animal Services is currently waiving adoption fees for all cats and kittens until the end of November. Come meet – better yet, adopt – Snowball while this promotion lasts. orange County animal Services is located at 2769 Conroy road, ocnetpets.com.

B Y D A N S AVA G E A couple of months ago, I got candida (a fungal infection) under my foreskin. I went to the doctor, picked up some cream, and used it as directed. The infection went away for about a week and then returned. I got this idea that maybe the cream didn’t work the first time because it’s so naturally moist under the foreskin. So I used the cream a second time – but this time, after each application I would “air out” my penis, i.e., pull back the foreskin and leave the head exposed to the open air for a little while. The candida cleared up, apparently for good. What surprised me, though, was that I really enjoyed this twice-a-day airing out. I’ve continued doing it. I have no idea why I find this enjoyable. I’m not masturbating while I’m doing it. I just use that flap on the front of my underwear to help keep the foreskin back and leave my glans exposed for about 15 to 20 minutes. (This is likely the first time in history that anyone has actually used that flap on the front of men’s underwear.) I’m wondering if, by airing out my cock in this way, there’s any risk of causing damage. From reading the all-knowing Internet, it seems that this amount shouldn’t cause any problems, but I’d like to get an expert opinion. I have noticed a slight decrease in sensitivity, but that has been a positive thing, as I’ve always been quite sensitive. Can I continue to do it? Apparently Into Retraction

“This shouldn’t be a problem,” said Dr. Stephen King, a urologist and one of my go-to guys on all things dick. “It sounds like he found a unique solution to a couple of issues: infections and sensitivity.” So you can continue airing out your cock with Dr. King’s blessing – and congratulations on coming up with a successful foreskin hack. But Dr. King wouldn’t recommend your foreskin hack to uncircumcised/intact dudes with a very particular medical condition. (I’m using “hack” here in the “life hack” sense, obviously – perhaps a poor choice of slang, considering that humanity has been needlessly hacking away at foreskins for millennia.) “The only time keeping a foreskin pulled back for a prolonged period of time becomes a problem is when someone has phimosis,” said Dr. King. An adult with phimosis either can’t retract their foreskin over the head of their penis or has a very difficult time doing so – a condition an adult may develop as the result of an infection or trauma that scarred the foreskin. “In patients who are elderly or demented, the foreskin can get stuck in the retracted position,” said Dr. King, “trapping blood in the head of the penis like a tourniquet, causing severe pain – we call this ‘paraphimosis.’” Paraphimosis is some serious shit – gangrene can set in, and the head of the penis might have to come off. “I don’t think this is an issue for AIR,” said Dr. King, “so he can continue as desired. Just tell him to be careful with that zipper!” My girlfriend of six months hooked up with one of my buds. They were both drunk at a party, and I was out of town for a sports thing. I wasn’t angry when she “confessed.” I thought it was hot and said we should maybe have a threesome with the dude. I’m not interested in being with a guy, but I’d be down with a M/M/F threesome. So now my girl-

friend is furious with me for not being angry. She literally just texted to say she’s not sure she can stay with me because she doesn’t want to be with a guy who wouldn’t care if she slept around on him. What the fuck am I supposed to say to that? The Wronged Party

“Bye.” I love that you use the term “cocksucker” only in a non-pejorative way. I don’t know if you’ve said so explicitly, but I imagine your aim is to remove its negative connotation. As the owner of a cock, I think cocksucking is WONDERFUL! Therefore, cocksuckers are wonderful as well. There needs to be more cocksucking in this world! Following your example, I am trying to use the term only in its literal sense and only in a positive light. Do you have a good substitute word for cocksucker? Changing Language Is Terrific

How about “kochbrother,” CLIT? Same number of syllables, same explosive/percussive “K” sound at the start, same “er” ending – and our democracy (and our environment) would be a lot better off if there were more cocksuckers out there and fewer Koch brothers. I would like some clarification. Does my situation fall into the “when it’s OK to have an affair” category or am I just looking for you to absolve me of guilt? I got divorced a year ago, and I’m 100-percent focused on being a mom during the time my son is with me and helping him through the divorce transition. I met a man who has been married for 20-plus years and I’m having an affair with him. He and his wife spend all of their time taking care of their adult disabled son. He said they have nothing in common but caretaking. He’s never said anything bad about the wife except they’ve grown apart and he can’t (or won’t) leave because of their son. It works for me because he’s the most incredible lover I’ve ever had and he doesn’t bother me or demand attention when I’m busy being a mom. I do have strong feelings for him but no expectation of him leaving his wife to be with me. Does this meet your “OK to cheat” criteria? Loving Isn’t Always Really Simple

Indeed it does. Your situation is a good example of the kind of affair people rarely hear about and advice professionals pretend don’t exist, i.e., the affair that saves a marriage and improves the lives and lots of everyone involved. Your marriage is over, of course, but you’re getting your sexual needs met by someone who doesn’t distract you from your son’s needs. And the time your lover spends with you – the intimacy, affirmation and release you provide him – has doubtless helped to make him a kinder and less resentful companion/ partner and a better father/caretaker. Here’s hoping your lover’s wife is getting the kind of sanitypreserving intimacy, affirmation and release she needs, too – whether sexual or in some other form.
