This year’s Infringement Festival is not brought to you by Duff Beer. It is not presented by Big Kahuna Burger, endorsed by the Umbrella Corporation, or sponsored by Stay Puft Marshmallows. This is not a Very Big Corporation of America production. It’s just the Buffalo Infringement Festival, an 11-day celebration of art under the radar that for the last 10 years has refused to be distracted by corporate pressures.

(And that’s “bats a thousand” to you non-baseball fans!) It wasn’t that long ago (2011) that we drove the then-new Chrysler 200 and decided it was a huge improvement over the previous car, the Chrysler Sebring. Well, a totally new 200 is now in the Chrysler showrooms, and it makes that old 200 look like a warmed-over Sebring rental car. Hmm...
