Alien http://www.aliencostume.co.uk/?p=142 Abe and the rest of the UKCM attended London MCM Expo at the ExCeL centre in London Docklands on 24th/25th October.

This event is predominantly animé/gaming focused, but is always busy and great fun. It is one of the few shows where the majority of attendees are in costume.

This was Abe’s first time out with a prototype of an automatic drool system. This delightful bit of kit meant that Abe could bless people with his lovely slime whenever it was required. Unfortunately, 500ml of drool is not enough – he runs out in about 10 minutes! Amazingly, no-one seriously objected to having slime on their head/clothes – it is non-staining, but they didn’t know that – but of course, it caused much cringing and screaming!

I need to work on the drool system to make it hold more, and to make it more comfortable.
