Engaged: Conference: inkwell.vue, Topic 204: "But if you're looking for a hotspot, the energy zone, the growth
region, and the place where the wierdos accrete, try NW Arkansas.

Fayetteville/Springdale/Rogers/Bentonville.

We've got Wal Mart and Tyson up here (and an overall strange
concentration of millionaires). Maybe we're not totally proud of them,
but we know a potential patron when we see one. ;) It's a wierd mix
of big business rubbing elbows with artsy earth hippies and renegade
hitech redneck artists.

Mmm, speaking of which, I was talking over a story with one of the
renegade artists in the area last night and got invited to a non-verbal
communication party. Apparently, from 10-12, anyone speaking,
writing, or mouthing/miming a word will be booted. Then a brief period
to blow off steam and discuss, followed by who knows how much more of
the same."
