Hallowkeene 2014
It’s BAAAAACK! This past weekend on-stage at Buzz’s Big Gay Dance Party, Derrick J and Ian Freeman announced Hallowkeene as a spiritual successor to Buzz’s party which ended this year in an amazing, awesome finale on Friday night at Porcfest.
Last year was Hallowkeene‘s first, experimental year. We had dozens attend! It was a blast, raising more than $500 for Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht’s defense fund.
This year’s event promises to be even better, with a new venue, running later, until 1:30am. Attendance will be restricted to Keenevention attendees and their guest. Tickets for Keenevention are just $50 for the whole weekend, but go up to $60 or BTC in July (tomorrow), so lock in your earlybird price now!
Here’s a facebook event for Keenevention and Hallowkeene.

UPDATE: Due to a very recent rewrite of 101 Reasons: Liberty Lives in New Hampshire, the new shortened length will allow us to turn this Saturday morning’s 9am event at Keene Cinemas into a Grindhouse double feature. First up will be the Film Fest Edition of Derrick J’s Victimless Crime Spree, never before seen in theaters. Following that, a preview cut of 101 Reasons will be shown publicly for the first time. Then the Q&A session with the producers at the Best Western, as scheduled. Looking forward to seeing you!
Here’s a facebook event.

This is a costume dance party and there will be three prizes for the top three costumes! You can indicate you’re coming via this facebook event.
