Keene has been the home of Cop Block founders Ademo Freeman and Pete Eyre, and now you can take part in helping protect and inform our peaceful neighbors about their rights and hold the police accountable. Join Keene Cop Block on the streets on Friday night. Eric Freerock, host of the Cop Block Radio Show and Keene native, will meet prospective Cop Blockers at the hotel at 7pm on Friday.
Here are several other things you can do outside-the-hotel while in Keene for Keenevention – no Keenevention ticket necessary. Though, if you’d like to attend Keenevention, tickets for the whole weekend are just $50 until 10/31 and $60 at the door (or you can buy a day pass for $25).

This just in – there are now two hikes scheduled during Keenevention, both led by the NH Liberty Alliance‘s “Activist of the Year”, Keith Carlsen. Hiking is one of several outside-the-hotel activities happening this weekend. On Saturday, after the keynote speaker, Keith will take you up to “Sunset Rock” on Beech Hill. This hike is pretty easy and you will enjoy a view of downtown Keene. On Sunday, after the closing speaker, Keith will take you up West Hill. The view isn’t as nice as on Beech Hill/Sunset Rock, but Keith says you will feel this hike in your legs. Keith will meet prospective hikers at the hotel after the keynote speeches. The hikes will be cancelled if it rains.

Were he not in a jail cell, cannabis liberation activist Rich Paul would certainly have a featured speaking role at Keenevention 2013. However, he would love it if Keenevention came to him, so consider this something for your to-do list while in Keene:
You can easily visit Rich Paul at the Cheshire “House of Corrections” or as some activists call it, the “Keene Spiritual Retreat“. Unlike many jails, the Keene jail allows visiting every day for several hours per day. You do need to plan your visit at least a day in advance and you can do that via this online system. Sign yourself up and bring friends – you’ll get 30 minutes with Rich. If you don’t already know him, go anyway! He’d appreciate the company and is always entertaining to talk to.

The first-ever Keenevention kicks off next Friday November 1st at 9am! Thus far, nearly 90 liberty-loving people are registered to attend the event! That includes dozens of speakers, panelists, and others buying tickets and visiting from all over the country. Keenevention promises to be an experimental, intimate convention. It’s the convention by activists, for activists and those who would like to be activists. Keenevention is unusual because all of our speakers are based in the Shire. These are the people who are here creating the most exciting and attractive liberty movement in the world. They may not all be “names” in the liberty movement, but they should be. These are doers.
Keenevention’s dozen panels cover the full activism spectrum! From legislators to civil disobedients to media producers to tech-geeks, Keenevention will address it all. Our keynote speakers include the President of the Free State Project, Carla Gericke speaking on the “State of the FSP”, JJ Schlessinger of “Free State Now“, and former Cheshire county jail guard Bryan Tann.
Of course, since it’s Keene, you might want to actually do some activism while you’re in town, so you’ll be able to hit the streets with Robin Hood, Keene Cop Block, visit and protest at the jail where Rich Paul is being held captive, as well as attend favorite Keene social events! Get a full list of activities outside-the-hotel here.
Online ticket registrations are open (and still just $50) through Thursday at noon Eastern. After that, you will have to buy your tickets at the door of the event and the price then will be $60. Alternately you can buy a one day pass in advance or at-the-door for $25. Don’t wait – lock in your tickets now!
