Book a trip to meatless deli
Kosher delicatessens were never far removed from the restrictions of a vegetarian diet to begin with — if you don’t count pastrami or corned beef — so a trip to the deli has always been an easy choice for the hungry vegan. If you can find one, of course, and we’re not talking the “deli”…
Electronica’s shining example
“I write music when I can’t breathe,” explains 25-year-old ethereal temptress SUNNY. “I hear choirs and operas in my head.” Such divine inspirations manifest themselves in a big way for the diminutive singer, soundtracking her quick climb from a relative nobody to a well-connected, remarkably piped vocal powerhouse on the Orlando scene. In only six…
Interior monologue
There’s a revolution looming and you don’t even know it yet, if we’re to believe diminutive Discovery Channel decorator Christopher Lowell, star of the oddball, drag-at-home, how-to hit “The Christopher Lowell Show” and legend in his own slightly triangular mind. Lowell has invaded the Hard Rock Hotel for a hush-hush private affair and has taken…
Inside the box
“I drank too much in Puerto Rico,” Roberto confesses through a near-toothless grin. It’s Friday night in downtown Orlando, and Roberto is one of five panhandlers crammed into the 3-by-15-foot “panhandling box” in front of a tattoo parlor on Orange Avenue and Central Boulevard. It’s a little after 10 p.m., and for his several hours…
Face time
What do Jesus and Harvey the Rabbit have in common? (A) They are imaginary friends. (B) They are good drinking buddies. (C) An extremely close relationship with either one makes some people think you’re a candidate for the looney bin. (D) Each one looks exactly like you want him to look. Beats me whether the…
Paving the way
“Isn’t she just a beauty?” Cecilia Height, a Sierra Club activist, asks. She’s standing on a white-sand bluff overlooking a drought-drained Econlockhatchee River at the Little/Big Econ State Forest in Chuluota, a few miles north of the Seminole/Orange county divide. “At least I think so. And we’re losing it.” Around her are age-old cypress, oak…
Another fine mess
For the second time in seven months, the Orlando City Council voted May 7 to relocate a controversial Parramore neighborhood charter school sidetracked by a number of governmental misfires and questions about who the school is being built for. The council voted 5-2 to negotiate a lease for a West Livingston Street parking lot that…
Restless ghosts
It is the season of ghost-dancing. This past week, the ever-restless spirits of the Vietnam War glided across our national consciousness amid revelations that certified war hero and former presidential aspirant Bob Kerrey may not have been quite so heroic after all. Three decades after the only war America has ever lost, the specters of…
Rock the house
Sebastian Bach — the former lead singer of cheesy ’80s hair-metal outfit Skid Row — is bouncing from room to room in his 4,500-square-foot New Jersey digs, showing off all the Kiss memorabilia he’s collected over the years: posters, autographed pictures, records, even a tot-sized Gene Simmons Halloween costume. He pauses briefly at a small…
Those are some big shoes to fill
Bernard Landry, a leading candidate to be Quebec’s next premier, proposed in February that the province increase spending, by about $11 million (U.S.), to remedy a shortage of clowns and other circus performers turned out by Quebec’s National Circus School. The current eight to 10 graduates a year are quickly placed in circuses around the…
Wanzie gets ribbed … for our pleasure
While an infomercial currently airing on late-night TV advertises the home-video resuscitation of the old Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts, there’s a simultaneous spin on the concept that doesn’t involve the bimonthly delivery of Rat Pack corpses to your home. The format receives its new lease on life this Saturday, May 12, at the Parliament House,…
