Adventures in Nametagging:

February 14, 2012 12:24 PM

“Acts of friendliness in moments of anonymity.”

That’s why I wear a nametag:

To invite people to join me, to remind the world that face to face is making a comeback and to create spontaneous moments of authentic human interaction infused with a spirit of humor, playfulness and connection.

And if a picture is worth a thousand words, a nametag is worth a thousand stories.

Here are my most recent adventures:

DAY 4,099: Today I met a guy at a party who asked why I was wearing a nametag. I told him I just moved to New York and didn’t know anybody. He said, “I’ve lived here forever and I still don’t know anybody!”

DAY 4,121: Today the bouncer at the door examined my driver’s license and said, “I guess your name really is Scott.” Then we discovered we were at the wrong bar.

DAY 4,122: Today my yoga instructor thanked me for wearing a nametag. She said it made her job easier. Then, during final meditation, she sang “The Greatest Love of All.” Man, I’m really going to miss Whitney Houston.

LET ME ASK YA THIS…

What’s your nametag?
