Social Sundays has had a tough time finding a regular venue since the decision to move on from Vendetta was made. Abunara (which means “the flame” in Arabic) is a private, middle-eastern themed cultural club located at the Center at Keene. They will begin opening on Sundays this week. They offer a great selection of Mediterranean cuisine, made from scratch. Open carry is fine. For more information visit them on the web. http://www.abunara.com/
Membership is $20 per year, which allows you to bring two guests. As a member, you can come in and merely hang out without being expected to spend money. Until further notice, it is BYOB, but cigarettes are not allowed. Hope to see you all Sunday at 5.
Editor’s note: This is a special Private Club edition of Social Sundays. Abunara accepts members over 18 years of age and younger people are allowed with their parents. This event is in addition to the current 3pm public event at the other location. See this forum thread for details.
Word has just been posted on the Free Keene Forum that the final 4:20 cannabis celebration for 2009 will be from 3p-5p this Saturday 11/14 at Keene’s Central Square. It’s my understanding that the event originators wanted to go out with a bang rather than have attendance dwindle down as the temperatures drop. I imagine you’ll see the celebrations restart sometime in 2010, maybe around 4/20? Bring your own bud and see you there!
We’re changing the venue again! The last place was too small and crowded for our needs, as Social Sundays has seen as many as 50 attendees this year. Please note that families are allowed and that under 21s must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. How to handle single teens and 20 year olds that do not fit this qualification will be discussed on this forum thread. This event is replacing both events at Fritz and Vendetta.
So please join Free Keeniacs for Social Sundays now starting at 3pm at a new location. See you there!
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…)
