A new face showed up at tonight’s Nightcap. Dorian told her story of the Keene police, who she previously had been a fan of, harassing her for doing spray painting (artwork on paper, not graffiti on buildings). They threatened her apparently and demanded she beg for permission from the city government people and pay some absurd amount of money for their piece of paper. Instead, she told them she was joining the “free staters” and showed up with a fire breathing performance tonight:

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

Abunara If 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.

Social Sundays Moves to Fritz Starting 11/1, Now at 2pm!

Fritz 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. Read more
