I've seen him mostly in New York and in Washington DC a few times (one of those stories is quite long and surreal, and eventually I'll probably share). I just missed him when I was in Australia so that was a huge bummer.
As to mental illness -- probably -- or we're just mroe inclined to talk about it perhaps. I also have theories about lots of the subsets of HP fandom (i.e., drama in the SS/HG community is always so longwinded (and involves so many PhDs because everyone reading SS/HG identifies with one or the other of the two geniuses of the wizarding world) and their particular brands of crazy. I love it all anyway, and have largely escaped the drama, which unfortunately, cannot be siad for a lot of peopel I care about who have gotten caught in the crossfire.
Growing up in NYC makes everything different, certainly. Exploring other places is hard. It has its own sort of inertia to be from here, but I am lucky, especially considering what I've chosen to do.
