Monthly Shindigs

Shindigs usually occur the fourth or fifth weekend of each month at Kessa’s house in Concord, NH (Southern NH). They are potlucks and start around 1pm, usually ending around midnight. Please keep an eye out for Yahoo list Official Shindig Threads (http://tv.groups.yahoo.com/group/NE_Browncoats/) or check the New England Browncoats website (http://www.NEBrowncoats.com) or my LiveJournal page (http://kessadebra.livejournal.com) for monthly updated info.

***DRIVING DIRECTIONS***
(about 1 hour north of Boston)

(from the South):
95 or 93 North to
93 North (north of Boston) into NH to
Exit 17 (Route 4, Boscowen/Penacook)
Route 4 West towards Boscowen
Take first left AFTER the Merrimack River (approx 1 mile from exit, follow Rt 3 signs). This is East Rd.
Take East Road about 1/4-1/2 mile into Penacook Village Center (Citizen’s Bank directly in front of you).
At this First stop sign turn right onto Route 3
Take third left onto Sweatt Street directly across from the Salvation Army and right after the Citgo gas station.
Pass all the nature. We are up the hill on the left. Big white house with dark green shutters.
*29 Sweatt Street, Penacook, NH*

(note: Googling the address may make it come up Boscowen or Concord. Our house is ON the town line and Penacook is a subdivision of Concord. Also, continuing on I-93 and getting off at exit 17 as shown above rather then the downtown Concord exit that Mapquest, GLADIS and some other map engines suggest is about 20 minutes faster.)

***PUBLIC TRANSIT***

You can always make a plea to the list for carpools. We have people who come from RI, CT, NH and all over MA. Occassionally people get here from NY as well.
