The NH Liberty Alliance had their annual dinner last night and fellow Keeniac Keith (Keith and Stuff – on the freekeene forums) has received the Liberty Activist of the Year award. Anyone who has been around Keith knows the great amount of effort he puts into liberty activism. Constantly prodding people to do stuff while leading from the front, Keith is a tireless proponent of freedom. Congratulations Keith!
Thanks to Jeremy Couch, here’s the brand new Free Keene Facebook page – be sure to click “become a fan”!
Their travels are not over yet – Pete, Jason, and Adam from the Motorhome Diaries have made another pit stop in Keene (which will be where MHD comes to a close later this year) on their way to the 2009 Porcupine Freedom Festival. They came to visit us at Social Sundays and here’s proof:
Penn Jillete mentions Keene again, this time with an amazing endorsement,
“I should be in Keene, New Hampshire with the Free Staters”
It comes toward the end of this “Penn Says”:

Thank you, Penn – if you are reading this, I’ve been working to get you on my radio show for years, to no avail. (I usually ask Glen Alai once a year and either get no response or he’ll say you aren’t doing radio interviews.) We’d love to have you on, talk about freedom and help you plug your shows or whatever else. ian at freekeene.com
Keene liberty activists once again have a paper dedicated to the happenings in Keene, NH. I have finished the first issue of The Free Keene Press. Meant to be an extension of the Free Keene blog with a bent directed at the community of Keene. The FKP will start out as a single page inside the New Hampshire Free Press.
The NH Free Press was once titled the Keene Free Press when Kat Kanning, the paper’s creator, lived in Keene. Now like a seed inside a piece of fruit the next iteration of a local Keene newspaper is borne within the pages of the former one.
My goal is simply to have one more avenue of communication with the individuals who inhabit the Keene area. I will not shy away from controversy or contentious content but instead I hope to give insight where there is confusion. I have plans to expand this paper and to do some actual investigative reporting but for now it will start out small and grow into whatever it becomes.
If you have any ideas or thoughts in how to make this a better paper please share them and if you would like to lend you time in any way be sure to let me know.
You will find a .pdf of this first issue among the links to the right, titled Press. http://press.freekeene.com
Please direct any special comments or inquiries to press@freekeene.com
Thank you,
James B Schlessinger Jr.
First, big thanks to Armadillo’s Burritos in Keene for graciously providing the power for the last two Free Keene Fests. To reward them for their help, we’re going to have a dinner party in celebration of Sam’s release from jail at their wonderful establishment. Besides some great Mexican food, they also sell beer, so the party is on from 6-8pm Wed, 6/10. See you there!
Armadillo’s Burritos is located at 82 Main St. in Keene. Click for a map.
