I know, there are no other active groups locally that actually answer their mail. But I have interested members already.

It is 8am here and Feels Like: 91°f. I've been cleaning coops (bird cages) for an hour and I stink. So much for trying to get it done before the heat of the day. LoL
But the birds loved the rain last night. Thunder clouds and electric light storms knocked down trees. Nothing unusual. Desert trees lose branches every fall because of the wind.

philodice:I presented Esperanto at the planning meetup yesterday. Some people are interested. Wish me luck tonight.At what club/institution/organization did you present Esperanto? Good luck.
philodice:That sounds good. There also excist an online rhyme vortaro = Rata Vortaro. It's a joke name because the words were extracted from the reta-vortaro.de. There also excist a PDF version.
Next I will right song lyrics for my husband, the DJ to use in a new song.
Hhhm, to less e-o music labels around. I only know vinilkosmo-mp3.com (France)

I put forth my opinion that Eo is very Steam hub/steam punk because it was made in that time period, and used in science fiction. Therefore it would be extremely hard core steampunk nerd to learn it.

But you rarely see them together. Although, I haven't devoured a lot of steam punk, so I might be claiming something that ain't so.

RiotNrrd:Personally, I've always thought Esperanto and steam punk were a perfect match, for the same reasons you give.My complete agreement! Steampunkers should speak Esperanto. The idea behind steampunk, is a perfect mix of invention and style, idealism and history, old meets new. And now, to spread the word. Trekkies and tolkienists get their own lingvo, why not Steampunkers? Be jealous no longer!

Some few share my belief, enough to allow a space for E O to thrive.

I always felt that conlangs could be useful for those sort of alternative-europe steam punk settings, e.g. use some form of Folkspraak as the "northern european language" and EO and some other romance-langs as the "south european languages"...
Somehow this has gotten me thinking how much cooler Last Exile would have been if it combined its everything-in-greek-writing style with Esperanto or something understandable (which wasn't just English written with a greek keyboard layout).

I think it would be fun to read a steam punk story in Esperanto. Something like "The Difference Engine" mixed up with that what Donniedillon said
