My little Zamenhof idol attended, but I forgot I had him with me, so he spent the whole time in my bag, wrapped in a green swaddling sock. I brought songsheets with five "<a href="http://www.geocities.com/lilandr/kantoj/zambankan/listo.html" rel="nofollow">Zambankanzonoj</a>", but we never got around to singing them. We had one no-show who got lost on the way and ended up going home. And the dark-complected guy sitting on my left, Nabiel, is our newest addition. A Humphrey Fellow at the University of Washington, and a UN disaster relief official in his native Indonesia when he's at his day job, this was his first Esperanto get-together.

For a populous state, NJ has very few 'locatable' Esperantists. Five of us met in a room in a Presbyterian church near Princeton. We chatted (in Esperanto as well as English,) we ate the cake which one of us brought, we read a few excerpts of literature, we even sang a song. We even toasted our 'Green Daddy' Dr. Zamenhof with sparkling grape juice. Thanks for mentioning this to the world. -Dave I actually arranged one of these get togethers this year.

Sounds like most UU churches. Wow so they drink those little Italian coffees and have a party? Sounds like most UU churches.
