From the moment that I set off for the railway station, en route to the show, and during the show, and on my return journey, I shall be wearing a conference style badge with the text Mi parolas Esperanton. Ĉu ankaŭ vi?
The number of people who see that will certainly be in the thousands. I shall report what happens.
Obviously if you don't advertise the fact that you speak Esperanto you are very unlikely to be accosted in Esperanto by a total stranger.
By the way, you can get a free pass to attend the Language Show simply by registering here. Don't forget to tick Esperanto as a language you are interested in.
It would be great to have as many people as possible wandering round the show advertising that they speak Esperanto (I'll take a supply of badges to the EAB stand). The show is the biggest of its kind in Europe and very well attended. I'll be going up on the Saturday (Oct 20th). Ni ĉeestu amase!

RiotNrrd:That melon thing is hideous (not to mention helping keep alive the old semi-joke of the Esperanto movement being "green on the outside, red* on the inside" ). I'll take the star, or the whole flag, any ol' day.As a filthy commie, I find your tone displeasing. Although, I think the melon thing is weird as hell. I do rather enjoy the lefty version of the Esperanto flag (see attached).

* "Commie red", of course. Not sure what the Pantone number of that is.

brodicius:LOL. Cool flag. And the new Esperanto hymn will be:RiotNrrd:That melon thing is hideous (not to mention helping keep alive the old semi-joke of the Esperanto movement being "green on the outside, red* on the inside" ).

And I ran into esperantists I knew in the Paris metro twice.
Maybe I accidentally saw more esperantists, but how would I know? It's not written on their face.

hebda999:How about "szycha" - literaly: big (conifer) cone aŭ strobilego
Funny: English "big cheese" is Polish "gruba ryba" (fat fish).

Both of us dealt with (in my case, still deal with) branches of my company in Japan and Singapore on a fairly regular basis. Both of us were/are of the opinion that if the people in Japan and Singapore we communicate with regularly would just learn Esperanto, it would be sooooo much easier on everyone concerned. Seriously, many "English" emails from co-workers in Singapore are almost entirely unintelligible to us, and some of the Japanese-English emails we get can be very puzzling indeed. I give them credit for trying, but from a practical standpoint they simply don't speak English. Asking even a simple question and getting a simple answer (in either direction) can take multiple email tries over several days - it is usually very inefficient. This is a perfect example of a situation where both sides knowing Esperanto would be a major win. But... as you might expect, having them learn Esperanto simply isn't going to happen.

.... but I also never expected to be eating in a restaurant and have Bill and Hillary Clinton walk in and sit down for a meal, and it just happened to me tonight. You never know what's going to happen in your life, do you?

erinja:I once met a French Esperanto speaker in Malta, by accident. I was travelling with another Esperanto speaker, so I am not sure whether this French person knew me by the green star pin on my coat, or by me shouting out something at my travelling companion in Esperanto, but it was him who approached me. It was one of the highlights of my trip, I never expected it to happen to me.This is why we need a "like" button in the new lernu.

You never know what's going to happen in your life, do you?I'm guessing it would be a lot more likely to happen in Washington, DC than in Seattle, though.
