Keene’s weekly all-ages social gathering of liberty-minded people is moving to Fritz, “The Place to Eat” at 45 Main St! It’s still happening on Sundays but is now starting at a new time of 2pm.
Why the change so soon? Social Sundays had been taking place 4pm at Vendetta for over a year and the event unfortunately had to be moved to Armadillo’s at 5pm because of Vendetta’s new 21+ policy. Armadillo’s is still a great place to eat and gather, and Social Sundays may expand out there again once the gathering gets too big for Fritz (we may have to just have a block party someday once we hit hundreds), but the reason the event is leaving Armadillo’s for Fritz is because Armadillo’s charged a cover for a band that was to play last Sunday. Mind you, there’s nothing wrong with them doing this, it’s just not conducive to our open-to-the-public Social Sundays event. Turns out that Armadillo’s has bands occasionally play on Sundays and additionally some had complained about the limited adult beverage selection. Considering we want an open event that people don’t have to pay to enter, it was time to move Social Sundays again. (more…)

Monday, October 26, 2009 A.D., Day 25 (I can’t believe it!)
Today’s writing was long and varied, so I temporarily scrapped it. It will be revamped and with any hope, it will make sense when I rewrite it.
For now, I want to simply thank every one of you who have written and supported my love of my life, Aubern, and I.
Never in my life have I been so blessed to be part of something so special, so wonderful, so full of love and caring, as well as full of depth of character in the individuals who are part of no group.
Liberty will be in our lifetimes. It is my prayer you will and we will be able to experience it and set the humble example to the world that it can be done.
I want to thank you all by name but I need to send this out with yesterday’s writings (which aren’t too great either but I’m doing what I can).
God bless you all.
Peace, Love Blessings,
Kurt

Sunday, October 25, A.D. 2009, Day 24 <- Yuckie! 🙂
Family Day
Thanks everyone who sent wishes with Aubern and don’t worry please, I know lives go on out there and I appreciate your thoughts, prayers and wishes. I couldn’t get here to see Sam each and every time either and was often out of state (“state”… how that word nauseates me at times). The nice thing was that I got to have her all to myself for an hour so that, I loved!
When you are with your loved ones (yeah, I’m preaching, but nobody else is so suck it up 🙂 ) please remember that you too, or them for that matter, can easily be gone the next day in some concentration camp like this or God knows what. Words that should have, could have, might have, may have, would have, been said… one thing in this life I want to live without is “regret.” It’s an awful word and a more awful feeling. To live life in eternal bliss is a nice thought but if you consider yourself fairly sane, or want to be, bliss sucks, but an attainable goal, as I see it, is to vigilantly live, say what needs to be said, make love the moment you feel it, tell someone you care, reach out to the person you avoided looking at yesterday (yeah, the homeless guy), live without regret. Inside this world, inside this tine awful world where one is of no use to anyone but feeding private jail corporations, feeding fat government benefit checks, bloated and out of control big government programs (and do you know one that works, be honest) basically “feeding the pig” that is the mob we call “the state,” “the country,” “the city of _____”… mobs of violent, deceived people, who either are violent, or afraid to dare look in the mirror, for fear they see the wreckage they leave on this earth, and it will be too hard to bear or affect their cushy “job.” (more…)

Law Enforcement Against Prohibition’s Brad Jardis is under fire from the police department he works for because he is an outspoken proponent of ending the insane war on drugs. His story has been picked up by the Raw Story. They link to FreeKeene.com’s forum in the story, so welcome to our new visitors from Raw Story! Please learn more about Free Keene on the New Here page

Please take a moment and “digg” this story to help Brad’s story spread and also help promote Free Keene! Thank you Brad for being truly courageous and standing up for liberty in the face of those who would mindlessly oppress because some strangers calling themselves “legislators” wrote some tyrannical words on paper.
