Yeah, I had never known fandom, and it was still way before personal computers and internet.
I can never remember when people count the internet as having started. It might have been pre-internet for me, but it wouldn't have been pre-PC. If I was 9 or 11 when I got into a fandom for myself instead of simply being in one of my parents, we already had a PC.
I'm so glad you finally got a hug from him!!
Thanks! When he gave it to me he told me, "You take that home to Maine with you." I'd given him the Maine moose I'd brought for John Barrowman, since he was there and John wasn't. I brought one for John and one for Gareth. You can see the moose in Gareth's pocket in this icon. *Points up.* I got hugs from Peter and Gareth at the "cocktails with the guests" Friday night. I remember telling Fleta after that I could die happy right there. I didn't even need to see the rest of the con. I still haven't gotten to meet John, but I have gotten hugs from James at Legacy, and Peter and Gareth at Torchsong. :D
