Elliott was good again today. He was a little shy when we first got to comic con but after a while he really relaxed and was totally at ease, even with quite a lot of strange looking people around.
Activities
We went to comic con at Earls Court Exhibition Centre today. We drove to Hammersmith and then got the tube to Earls Court and he enjoyed the tube journey. We both enjoyed comic con. Elliott went dressed in his Anakin Skywalker outfit and he was not out of place - there were lots and lots of people there dressed up as all sorts of super heroes, villains and film and television characters. There were loads of things there. The main space was taken up by exhibition stands selling comics, DVDs, toys, jewellery and costumes and we bought some cheap second hand toys (Lego and Transformers). There was also a space where stars were on hand for signing and we saw George A.Romero, Jamie Bamber, David Prowse, Kenny Baker and Robert Knepper. We didn't buy tickets to for any signings though, especially as Elliott didn't really know who any of these people were - he didn't even seem that impressed when I explained that David Prowse was the guy who was Darth Vader in the Star Wars films (though not his voice). Also there outside were life size Transformer vehicles which went down very well and inside two different versions of the Batmobile. Finally there were areas where actors, writers and directors gave talks and we say an interview with Michael Madsen which Elliott seemed quite interested in. We even found a stand selling hot dogs for lunch which we both enjoyed:

After we got home we had a sandwich for tea before bath and bed and some reading - he read half of "The Great Swimming Race" and I started reading him "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory".
