- I got a letter from Patty today. This was her second letter, mailed about 8 weeks ago. Lord knows what happened to the first one. But it was lovely and strange.

- I am the last person on earth to discover Abney Park. I have a sneaking suspicion I am too old to be totally into this nonsense, but there's 80s DNA in there, just more menacing. So, er, yeah. AWESOME.

- On that note, a note to self: Don't listen to some random song by the new band you've just discovered (okay, ages after everyone else has) on repeat while reading Torchwood tentacle porn fanfiction, lest that song become forever associated with, well, tentacles.

- Combining these elements into a single post, I feel the need to apologize to both Patty (who is laughing is she can see this) and Abney Park, who presumably wouldn't give a damn even if they did see this.

Thank you so much! I love doing this stuff, but crowds can be hard for me, and the Dragon*Con environment was very overwhelming. I view it as the preparation I needed to do it right this year, so it means a great deal to hear that I was enjoyable and useful.

Let me know if there's anything I can do to make the con easier for you. Crowds are on the easy side for me. My family's enormous and I'm so used to having a bazillion people in a tiny space that it feels comfortable and normal for me. One of our guests last year had issues with crowds as well so I would just escort her from one panel to the next because crowds tend to part for me. Maybe that's my super hero power. ;)

Again, thank you so much for your help.

Mostly, this is why Dragon*Con is the con Patty has to come to with me. Because she usually notices I'm flipping out before I do. This year, we're going down teh night before, not early the day of, and scheduling in downtime (and researching restaurants AWAY from the hotels), and I should be fine.

It's a strange thing being both really gregarious and introverted. I love spending time with people, but I hit a wall on it faster than I'd like.
