Pharoah:The only problem is that in, say, DC, you'd be lucky to get even 10 Esperantists to show up. Such a small group would de-legitimize the movado and make us look even sillier than we already do.Yes, I agree. That are very less Esperantists. That's the same situation in Munich/Germany, too. The Esperantists are definitelty a minority. But that is nothing to be ashamed about.
I still try to find a way to find out how many people speak Esperanto onsite in Munich. Not showing up doesn't mean that there are no Esperantists onsite. Some people dislike others even if they have the same (Esperanto) hobby.
Pharoah:Just curious, why a farmer's market?The area where I live regulary market-days happen where you can buy goods from local farmers. So, nobody can complain about the happening of a farmer's market because a farmer's market is a neutral place. Even if the goods would be labeled two-language (i.e. German and Esperanto).

The area where I live regulary market-days happen where you can buy goods from local farmersHah, here they're not really that common. I think a lot of it has to do with the way land is planned out here vs. in old Europe. In the US, there are big empty rural farming regions, then small towns, then suburbs, then cities. So, unless you live in a small town on the edge of a bunch of farms, there's really not much locally grown produce to eat.
Only hippies shop at farmers markets anyway

Even the hippies stopped going... They say they're going to clean it up and open again. Who knows.

Pharoah:Your mention of Pokemon gives me an interesting idea. What we need is a product that will push interest in Esperanto into popular culture, without only being about the language itself.Interesting concept and a fine idea. Would we want something geared towards children or to the public in general?

jan aleksan:I am absolutely against any idea of a Zamenhof pokemon in a green editionMazi! You grew a plant on your back!
If Zamenhoff was a pokémon, what kind would he be and what moves? Electric + Plant I reckon. Can't think of any decent moves though. Maybe "Idfrakasu!" (Special Type, 150 attack, 75 accuracy) - "Smashes the opposition into submission with a much more extensive literary tradition"

ceigered:Special Type? Do you mean "???" Type (like Curse)? ("Special" was a stat in RBY, but since GSC it has been split into "Special Attack" and "Special Defense".)jan aleksan:I am absolutely against any idea of a Zamenhof pokemon in a green editionMazi! You grew a plant on your back!
