Chop hooey
I’m sure Emeril Lagasse is a nice guy, a boy from small-town Fall River, Mass., who made it good in the food trade. People certainly seem to like him. But from the looks of his second restaurant at Universal Orlando, I get the feeling he has marble fountains and paintings on black velvet in his…

Headless chicken paralyzes downtown
Downtown commuters had a brush with the occult Tuesday morning. About 8:30 a.m., police sealed off several blocks of downtown Orlando, including streets surrounding Orlando Weekly headquarters at the corner of Jefferson Street and Garland Avenue, after an anonymous source called in a report of a suspicious device on the train tracks nearby. The “device”…
007 times two
The Sunday-night party on the fifth floor of the downtown Grand Bohemian was one of those stylish affairs more associated with Tinseltown than O-Town. Elegantly attired men and women roamed through equally elegant rooms, eating beef tenderloin, sushi, fruit, cheese, and chocolate pastries. Joan Rivers and Marilyn Monroe impersonators interviewed guests on a red carpet.…
Getting it wrong
With no court rulings in the way, the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Service has restarted its citrus-canker eradication program, chopping down thousands of healthy “exposed” backyard trees to protect the $8 billion Florida citrus industry from what growers claim would be certain disaster. Whether or not canker is as serious a threat as…
See me, feel me
Cue up the music, kids, and hit the lights. Now gather ’round as Tim Kashner tells another tale of a misanthropic soul negotiating the emotional chasm between the promise of love and our damning frailties. Kashner’s the narcissistic, self-loathing puppeteer pulling the strings on his personal tale of woe, with a nod and a wink…
Ray of light
The litany is by now familiar. Album sales are down the last couple years — off almost 11 percent from 2001, which itself was off 5 percent from 2000 — and file-sharing is to blame. To hear the RIAA tell it, if something isn’t done, the entire music industry is in jeopardy. But as usual,…
Business as usual
If you’ve ever wondered why CDs cost nearly $20, a stroll around last week’s National Association of Recording Merchandisers (NARM) convention at the Marriott World Center near Disney World might have provided a little insight. You could have attended a “Welcome Reception” sponsored by Sony Music, with a half-dozen open bars, nearly a dozen different…

One-stop fill-ups for empty tanks
sure to tempt even hardcore stay-at-homes to hit the road. First, the aperitif: The “Bloody Mary Cook-Off” at downtown rockspot Back Booth (37 W. Pine St.; 407-999-2570), where bartenders from SKY60, The Globe, Dexter’s and other clubs compete for the title “Best Bloody Mary.” Starting at 2 p.m. Sunday, March 30, seven bucks buys a…

Rhymes with ‘Jesus’
Oh, what’s a journalist to do on doomsday? It’s 0800 on a splendorous morning of scud thuds and sandstorms, George W. Bush is resting his tongue after twisting “Saddam sells sanctions by the seashore,” and the world is glued to the grainy-but-gratifying fireworks of Operation Suck My Dick. NBC’s Ann Curry is slumming it on…
Louder than bombs
On Wednesday, March 19, CNN reported that Vice Admiral Timothy J. Keating had given a war-preparedness speech to crewmen and -women aboard the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Constellation. “When the president says go — look out, it’s hammer time,” Keating was quoted as saying. What CNN didn’t know was that Keating had spent several days in…
Sign of the times
Officials at Nevada’s Yucca Mountain repository for high-level nuclear waste are struggling with a Nuclear Regulatory Commission requirement that the site post signs warning intruders of its dangers, lasting as far into the future as the year 12,000 A.D., even though no one knows whether any language now spoken on Earth will be spoken then.…
The 13th step
What would you do? There you are, toothless and broken in an airplane seat, slowly regaining consciousness, only to realize that you have no bags, no belongings, no idea in which direction you are flying. The feeling of life has left your body, the taste of blood fills your throat, bile burns your stomach, and…
The lap dogs of war
As the Orlando Sentinel has no intention of seriously covering the war, I thought it might be fun (and educational!) to do at least one more column on what our local paper of record isn’t writing about. Then again, this could become a regular feature. By ignoring half the story (the part that doesn’t fit…
