This weekend I had the great privilege of attending the 14th semiannual "For the Community" event hosted by the Houston Freethinkers.
I've recently relocated to the Houston, Texas area and have slowly started connecting with people in the Liberty/Anarchist community here. This weekend proved to be a great time and I got to meet some excellent people - some of whom I've been connected with on Facebook for years but just hadn't met in real life yet - others were totally new.
The event was hosted at a restaurant called "The Last Concert Cafe" that features Mexican food and an outdoor stage, seating, market area, bar, and sand pit. There were several musical acts that performed as well as poets and speakers.
The sand pit provided a great place for kids to dance and play. Plenty of hula hoops were around for people to use. The kids buried each other in the sand, made sand castles, and used the hula hoops for games of Hopscotch.
Several vendors were there selling a variety of books, artwork, jewelry and crafts. The best thing about them - most of them accepted cryptocurrencies, or gold & silver.
I'm looking forward to For the Community 15. If you happen to be in the Houston area, you should definitely plan on attending. Stay connected with the Houston Free Thinkers via their website (link above) as well as their Facebook Group.
