Nice gentleman.
We had a mutual friends, writer and university professor Tom Williams (to whom he dedicated Nightmares and Dreamscapes). Tom related an inspiring story about Stephen King I'll share with you at Flan 2 (though I believe, now as I look at what I've purchased, I've probably booked myself into standing in line the entire weekend for photo-ops and autographs! [I am such a neophyte at this fan convention thing 
]) .
Anyway....12 days to Flan 2!
Respectfully,
History

Well, everyone.
4 days to Flan.
Getting packed.
My "button" is ordered.
And I look forward to meeting you.
Respectfully,
History

Dear History,
This is all very good advice. You will get as much as you want to get out of this. We are all family here, this is a reunion.
Expressing interest, asking questions and sharing your story is all you need to do.
I will be there and my name is Rosie, I am 35 and I love going to cons and shindigs.
See you there.

Hi History! My favoriet student flew in from Tokepa, and we are flying down together from Spokane and we would love to chat you up. Just dont know how to identify ourselves to you. Perhaps there will be nametags? I have only been to a couple of general sf conventions over the years, mostly to meet specific authors, but we are way too excited about this one. Look for a "ShinyOlLady" nametag. Judith is a bit under 30, I am a bit under 50 and we both have longer blonde hair. Hope to see you!

For those not aware, check out the thread:
Flanvention Forum Name Buttons
where you'll see an example of the buttons that some of us (including History) will be wearing to identify us at Flan 2.
Today (Tuesday 12/5) is the last day you can order one of those buttons, if you want one!

I'm pointin' right at it!

History, honey I guarantee after Flan you will wonder how you could have ever been worried about attending the con. I think the small Flan is a great way to start. Then I will tell you about Dragon*Con 
You come into the dealer's room, come over to the Out to The Black table and I will personally have a big old Browncoat hug especially for you to welcome you.
By the way, hugs are free for the asking 
I aim to misbehave!

3 days to Flan.
Cleaning up the loose ends; my partners have got the practice covered, getting packed (picked up a simple vest coat if I decide to dress the "Simon" for either the Shindig--if I can stay awake--or the photo ops)
Thank you FireflyPassenger (Rosie), ShinyOldLady & Judith, DonCoat, and FireflyGal (btw, I have my eye on a Browncoat Messenger Bag).
Free hugs for the asking, FireflyGal? That's downright neighborly.
As DonCoat has shared, Jenz and he have kindly offered to create and make some ID buttons with our Usernames. I am looking forward to mine. The other way to identify me: I'll be the "young" late 40ish (everything is relative, correct?) greyhaired gentleman with the Maine accent walking around in a daze.
I wish safe and pleasant traveling to everyone.
See you there.
Respectfully,
History

Looking forward to Flan.
Just a bit of warning. Close proximity to our BDHs does make your brain go missing. So if you feel at a lost, you are perfectly normal. What I do, especially for the autograph line since I am not sure if I will remember to say what I want is to give them cards. I do say something but you just never know what you will say when your brian goes missing.
The best part really is meeting Browncoats. They are the best folks in the 'verse, always open and ready to help.
Most importantly just have fun.

We Browncoats ARE a neighborly bunch. I'll have an unlimited supply of Browncoat huggies for folk BUT the Messenger Bag supply is very limited. You can always get 'em on the site but it's not quite the same as instant gratification. See you tomorrow, History!
I aim to misbehave!

I wish I was coming tomorrow, FFGal.
Unfortunately, I still have patient care duties until tomorrow evening. And it will take me a day to fly coast to coast.
I will hope to see you and others Friday late afternoon/evening.
Safe trips, everyone.
Respectfully,
History
