I'm trying to remember how Arkansas is for getting planning permission, changing land-use laws, and that sort of thing --- for what might be considered an alternate culture type of venue?

You forget, David... Arkansas IS an alternate culture.

I grew up there in Little Rock, from the age of 8 until I moved to Texas when I was 25 (in 1986).

Renaissance Festivals seem to have more of a "hippie" lifestyle connotation, rather than the "good ol' country boy" lifestyle that I'd associate with Arkansas.   ;)   :D

How about "You Know You're a True Rennie if..." you'd consider buying the old, defunct Dogpatch USA in the Ozark Mountains (including the nearby Mystic Caverns), to renovate as a Renaissance Theme Park and Cavern.   ;D

Being so far out of the way, I don't think it would be successful. I think that might have been at least a part of Dogpatch's problem. I was by there a couple years back, and it's pretty much trashed. Funny that the new owners acquired it as the result of a lawsuit.  They were trespassing and got injured, sued, and took the property in the settlement. Something wrong with a jury that rewards criminal action...

There are areas closer to central Arkansas that would be nice...

You know you're a true Rennie if you actually think about things like this...

(p.s.  I just made the most incredibly crazy cooing and squealing and baby-talk noises over Little Fuzzlet!!!!  SOOOOOO Cute!!!!  He might be a bit older for her at 2, but I have a nephew...just sayin')

The pink pirate has said the fuzzlet isn't dating until she is 30.  ;D

You know that you are rennie, that after her said that, I thought, "Unless the guy has the gumption to handle a real sword."
It is kind of strange watching your personal history become costume.

So do I...  If I remember correctly, wasn't most of the grounds up hill (no matter which way you were walking)?

Up hill, both ways, in the snow, no shoes....  Oh wait, that's my dad talking. ;D

You spot a shoulder drabbit on a pedestrian as you are driving by at 40 mph.  Bonus points because you know the color, size, and if it was 1 or two cable.  YET you can't spot the street sign to take the right way to your destination.

You see a shield leaning against a car on the side of the freeway with a blown tire, and turn around at the next off ramp to see if they need any help

Done that!
One person was amazed that five people actually stopped; but their brother was already on the way with a tow truck.

My friend had this one:
when you are watching a burlesque show and realize you just spent 3/4 of the show critiquing the weaponry they are using.

You're driving into Faire and you see two young men in Kilts walking along the side of the road in the opposite direction and you don't think anything of it.
