Goat LARP

Jibe-iT Goat Farm in Redding, Connecticut, is hosting the first Goat Live-Action Role-Playing (LARP) event on June 15. No, participants are not going to take the roles of goats. Rather, visitors will help to produce role-playing games for the goats! Attendees are encouraged to come in costume, if that's your thing. The farm is equipped with what you will need for the games, including "activity cards," with suggestions for the goat games. For example,

One goat plays as Frodo, another will be Sauron. Use lawn posts to mark off an area representing Mount Doom. If Frodo visits Mount Doom before Sauron touches him, the world is saved. If Sauron touches Frodo, all is lost.

However, you can bring your own ideas (in fact, you are encouraged to, because "most of the stuff we're writing is garbage"). The rules are optional. The farm will provide food. It sounds like a wild idea, and a good time for anyone, even the goats. Who knows, this may turn out to be the next big thing. -via Metafilter
