In 2008, MomoCon enters its fourth year with a horror theme (the number four considered unlucky in Japanese culture) and will feature the cinematic full-length thriller Miyuki. Miyuki tells the story of an affluent American family who take in a young female Japanese exchange student.

I had a manic burst of energy over the past couple of days and cannabilized my busted: Airhogs Submarine , Nerf Master Blaster, Nerf Crossbow, and some random parts to put together the beginnings of my 1st steampunk weapon. 
* Mucho repainting, though I may outsource that. I never could stay in the lines with crayons and the prospect of multiple colors gives me an ulcer. Flat black isn't going to cut it...
* The brass tube will be replaced with a bigger one.
* A coil of copper pipe around the new tube tesla style.
* The clear pipe will be dyed. Thinking of a cobalt blue
* A battery, pump, or resovoir looking thing will attach to the pip and sit within the open stock.
* Maybe an LED within the open part near the foregrip.
* RIVETS!

Final Zombie Update: 2nd Chance for Late Sleepers!
Got some news for all you heavy sleepers that are still interested in zombieing as part of the Horror Spoof filming Saturday (Oct 27th).
We'll be taking late-comers up until 11am. But to be fair to those showing up for the actual start of filming, the late-comers will be ineligible for the prize raffle, most likely not be chosen for the action sequences (i.e. grabbing / mauling other actors), and you'll probably miss most of the free food. And obviously you'll miss being in several scenes.
But its still a chance to be a part of the film.
