On Renaissance Festival . com, there's been some flack going around that Renaissance Magazine isn't what it used to be. . . . especially when one out of every six issues is designated for weddings.

I got that itchy artsy/publishing feeling again.

Then I got goaded by a few fans who would love to see a full color magazine with full features about different faires including prices, types of food and drink, and detailed info on where to stay in the area, what to expect, etc.

Questions. What if it included a part just for serious reenactors. . . and a vendor's area. . .and a garb-making area. . . and a feature on some interesting faire artists that you might not know about? If it all came in a nice package every quarter for only about $6 an issue. . .would you be interested?

So, yes, I've begun work on the project and there's enough support from both renfaire enthusiasts and advertisers to get the first magazine out to subscribers and on the street by Autumn. In fact, the first 500 subscribers will get a pin to wear on their garb, proudly announcing that they're on board with us.

Our Pyrates Way distributor, Ingram Periodicals, has also shown a lot of interest and is presently deciding on how to distribute the new magazine.

What say ye?
