This was amusing. I guess diesel pumps are a little different from unleaded ones. I just bought a new car for this road trip and as you can see am having some trouble here. If you ever feel like an idiot, my hope is you’ll watch this video and generally feel much better about yourself.

Romeo & Juliet Act I, Scene 2 at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Holy wow. I feel kind of like a bastard after doing this, but I’m sure some good will come of it. So I’ve just been told several times to stop filming in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame here in Cleveland and so I’ve gone outside to pick up an earlier scene in the [...]
Romeo & Juliet Act II, Scene 6 on Lake Erie
Gorgeous overcast day here. Beautiful boat yard. I had to stop. I wanted to see the lake and take a breath. I especially wanted to get out of the car and stretch my legs. Boy am I happy I did. “It’s the simple pleasures that make a life.” If I were more brave I wouldn’t [...]

Romeo & Juliet Act II, Scene 5 – Niagara Falls parking lot
Guaranteed the WORST self-videography in this project so far. These folks were getting out of their cars and cavorting for several minutes, and RIGHT as I was summoning the gumption to approach them and make everyone’s day memorable, they started to move. So I spent the 3 or 4 minutes of this tape wondering whether [...]
Max Yela shows UWM’s 1632 Second Folio, then I read the Lark scene directly from it. Happy Birthday Mr. Shakespeare!
Holy moly, Shakespeare fans. It all just got real. I had high hopes for this project to read the whole canon aloud, but I never thought I’d get to read directly from a real Folio. Thank you so much to Max Yela, the head of the Special Collection at the Golda Meir Library here at [...]
Romeo & Juliet Act II, Scene 3 at Niagara Falls
Yeah, talk about a dank and dew day. Thank you Friar Lawrence. But you know, I’ve never been here before, so I’m having my fun. Hopefully it’s fun for you too. I is TOTALLY windy, so for any of you listening along to each scene, you’re going to have to brave the elements with me. [...]
Romeo & Juliet – Act IV, Scene 1 at the Goodman in Chicago
So I’ve just come from dinner with my old friend John Douglas Thompson – a man who will need no introduction to many of you. John has become one of America’s finest stage actors, as evidenced by not only a steady stream of glowing national press and an always lengthening list of lead roles at [...]

Reading the Romeo & Juliet “Lark” scene (first half) from the 1632 Second Folio
What an amazing activity for Shakespeare’s birthday… This video was taken at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s Special Collection at the Golda Meir Libarary. A more comprehensive blog posting can be found introducing the longer video which begins with UWM staff librarian Max Yela introducing us to the Second Folio. I recommend you watch that one [...]

Romeo & Juliet SONNET at the Baseball Hall of Fame
What a privilege to get to read this here! An amazing, amazing time. And besides, we all knew these two guys felt this way about each other, didn’t we? Yes I know they’re from different eras of baseball. But in Cooperstown, it sure looks like they were the two columns holding up the entire world. [...]
