Only Dorks Go to Comic Conventions
Got back from the San Diego Comic-Con a couple of days ago. I had bucket loads of fun. I got to meet the creators of Invincible and Walking dead, and The Goon. I saw tons of cool toy prototypes, and I spent about 200 bucks on toys and stuff. We went on a Saturday. Mental note: never go to the Con on a Saturday. Next year I want to go on Thursday and maybe Friday too if I can, and by “if I can” I mean if Marie will let me.
I took a bunch of pic’s of Ben standing with (or near) his favorite superheroey types. He had fun, but not as much as me I think. He slept in the stroller for a couple of hours. Don’t even ask how bad it sucked to push a stroller around in a densely packed crowd of 10’s of thousands of people, but at the same time it was a life saver, because I hauled all of my junk around in it, so I can’t complain too much.
Here are the pictureses.
Being shy with a different Spiderman
If you don't stop with the shyness Harlequin is gonna cap you.
"I'm not even gonna stand close to those guys."
Thing, Vader, Batman, and slightly shy He-man.

My son won this bad boy at the Tower Records/BCI MotU costume contest. He dominated the junior division by being the only entrant. It's a framed 10 X 13 print of the DVD cover signed by Lou Scheimer.
Them's the pic's. Even though Ben looks super shy in every picture, he actually freaked out if I didn't let him get a close look at every superhero that he recognized (which is a lot). He only pulled the shy act when he got too much attention.
The crew at BCI took a lot of footage of him, so hopefully he'll make it into a future DVD documentary. *crosses fingers*
