Greetings and welcome, dear readers of NFKickass Activities, which has been renamed as such.  Because this week will be relatively calm and because most stores and city boards have decided Christmas is near (even though the 25th of December is still almost a month away) , the theme of this week will be one we traditionally associate with a relaxed and cozy atmosphere, the Catholic church and keeping The Black Death at bay: candles.

The income price will be 2 euro for all members of NFK and 3 euro for all non-members. Cheap drinks and good hiphop-music – whether or not by the hands of musical mastermind lil B – should […]
