Yip Yip Costume

Yip Yip Costume

Yip! Yip! Okay, so Sesame Street may not be the first thing you think of when you think of Halloween, or even geek crafts. Fine, but you have to admit these costumes are pretty awesome! Traci Lawson posted this great Yip Yip Costume with full instructons on her blog dedicated to children’s video games. Even if you don’t see yourself making your own Yip Yip Costume, I still suggest checking the instructional blog out, so you can see a video of Traci and her friend Yip Yipping in New York City.

Saturn Costume

Saturn Costume

A Saturn Costume for Saturday. Perfect for an astronomy geek, or a pregnant lady like me! K1 posted this Saturn Costume she made for her son on the blog negative entropy. I really love it! Looking at the supplies needed, I loved it even more. One black long-sleeved shirt, fabric paint, markers, a foam ball, a hula hoop–and a beer. K1 notes that it is necessary tool for a parent making their kid a Halloween costume! (Note: If you were going to do this as a pregnancy costume as I mentioned earleir, you wouldn’t need the foam ball!)

Star Trek Costumes from Trek in the Park

This summer Atomic Arts put on an amazing free play here in Portland:

Atomic Arts is presenting a LIVE free performance of the classic Star Trek episode “Amok Time” at the Woodlawn Park amphitheater. Witness Mr. Spock undergo the bizarre and brutal Vulcan marriage ritual of PON FARR as the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise attempt to save him before it’s too late!!

Portland actors, accompanied by live music and effects, will bring this classic piece of television to life! Spend a day in the park, bring a picnic and BOLDLY GO!!

The costumes and sets were all handmade — very inspiring, especially with Halloween around the corner! Here’s an ensemble photo by Igal Koshevoy:

There are also lots more Trek in the Park photos on flickr and some videos up on YouTube.

We went to the final show, which was fantastic — and standing room only. Next summer they’ll be back with a new episode which was thrillingly previewed at the end of the show. If you’re in Portland or nearby, don’t miss it!
