The Market Has Chosen Abunara for Social Sundays, Now Including Games!

AbunaraIf you’ve been paying attention, you know that for weeks now there have been two Social Sundays gatherings. One was at 3pm a local sports bar and the other starts at 5pm at Abunara, Keene’s Middle Eastern Cultural Club featuring fine food, Turkish coffee, fresh juices and hookah pipes.

The market has spoken. The sports bar was devoid of activists today and Abunara was hopping! The earlier gathering will be dropped in favor of focusing on the 5pm event at Abunara. The owners there welcome liberty activists and have offered us special deals. The food is fantastic and the atmosphere is much brighter and far more comfortable than the bar. We’d love to have you come out and join us every Sunday at 5pm for socializing and now gaming! Many people are bringing their favorite board, party, and strategy games and staying and hanging out for hours. People do tend to arrive earlier than five, but considering 4:20 events will be returning in a few months, it makes the most sense to say it starts at five. Tonight it went well past 10pm with a Monopoly slugfest involving Free Keene bloggers Dale and Richard!

So come on out Sundays starting at 5pm at Abunara in the Center at Keene on the West end of Gilbo Ave., right next to Rick’s Ice Cream! Please be aware that Abunara is a private club. If you don’t know any Free Keeniacs who are members and are brand new (you can always get to know us by posting on the Forum!) you can either buy a year membership for $20 or you can walk in and ask a member get you in free as a guest. Just let it be known you’re there for Free Keene’s Social Sunday. See you there!

Oh, and visit this forum thread for the latest info on the event.

UPDATE- For those with smoke-related concerns, come on by and check this place out. They are VERY well ventilated. No tobacco is smoked in Abunara unless it is in a hookah, and it’s nothing like a cigarette or cigar smell. In fact, unless you are right next to it, it’s difficult to detect.

It should be pointed out that visitors to Keene need not fret the “private club” status of the venue. The manager and staff are incredibly friendly, and promise that a new person need NOT purchase a membership, they need only walk through the door and mention “Free Keene” (that is, if someone even bothers to ask them, which usually doesnt happen, lol).

Again, visitors to Keene should feel extra welcome at Abunara, it is an incredible venue, with great food and a wonderfully accomodating, friendly staff. We love Abunara! <3

Probably the State.

Thanx partially to a strategy that he wouldn’t divulge, and primarily to an improbably large number of lucky roles, Richard went from last place to a surprise win.

That was a fun monopoly game.
Oh, and regarding the smoke: I’m an asthmatic and it does not bother me at all.
