The Dark Lord Waldemart

I’ve been living in a cabin in rural Vermont for the past two weeks, teaching a Shakespeare camp. As a result, I’ve been more in touch with the mythical Forest of Arden some 407 years ago than I have with the here and now. That’s why I was surprised when my girlfriend called to ask why I was on the front cover of the business section of the Chicago Tribune. The biggest surprise was not that I was in the paper, but that it was the business section.

Turns out our latest anti-Walmart Harry Potter video made some waves.
