The weekend before last Lu and I donned our geeky outfits and went down to this year’s London Film and Comic Conference. We signed up in advanced, sorted our tickets for the Heroes talk and skipped most of the queues for entry. (We were very glad to have signed up in advance! I’d recommend it if you are thinking of going next year!)

The initial thoughts on arrival were that there was a LOT of empty space… There also weren’t many artists. However that didn’t detract from the fact that Lee Townsend (inker for Marvel & DC Comics) was there along with Andy Tong and David Goulding to name a few. And yes I did get Lee Townsend to do me a drawing. He did me a fantastic Spiderman pic!

There were a lot of film stars, some over from the US and others who reside in the UK, they ranged from Margot Kidder aka Lois Lane (Superman – the original movie), Peter Davidson aka Dr Who through to David Anders from Alias & Heroes.

And on that note we swiftly move on to the talk with David Anders. The talk was a lot of fun, it was quite lively most of the time but had a few quiet lulls whilst he stood up on his chair and shouted the crowds milling around the stands to be quiet… Don’t believe me… go take a look at the pictures! Not quite what you would class as expected behavior but it did liven things up… he also sang a few request songs (very well I might add!) and did a short 4 minute interview with us after his session! Yep you read that right. I actually (somehow) managed to persuade the David Anders to talk to me on camera about how he got to be on Alias and Heroes, who his idol’s and inspirations are and a few other bits and pieces too!

We also filmed a few other people and some general stuff from the event. Have fun and enjoy the video! Let us know what you think…. Are we totally mad! (BTW David Anders was very, very jetlagged he came straight to the conference from an 8 hour flight!)
