I'd actually paid to fly Stallman to Honolulu to attend pfosscon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-lP8lPYPDU

While he was in Hawaii, I also paid to fly him to the "Big Island" (Hawaii) to speak with people (mostly astronomers and their children, though some people drove up from Hilo.)

Since I was paying for his ticket, I knew he would be at the airport.

I lived in Hawaii at the time.

Back in Las Vegas (where I lived at the time), the book, and emacs, were new to me. I took it to read then.
