Not necessarily in order – work, school, family, blogging, crafts – and now jury duty! I don’t have the time or energy to find you some fantastic Halloween costumes, so you dear readers needs to help me out! Leave a link in the comments to a cool Halloween costume or craft by Sunday midnight and I’ll pick someone at random to get a prize. And go!
So I wasn’t going to start posting again until the fabulous, coming soon redesign was ready, but then I thought about all the cool, geeky Halloween costumes that are being posted and decided I should go ahead and post. So I give you… a Donnie Darko stenciled skelesuit from Craftster user shesxautomatic.
Look for some important Geek Crafts announcements in the next few days.

I posted awhile back about getting to see Atomic Arts’ fantastic Trek in the Park play here in Portland, and I’m so excited that the next installment, Space Seed, is coming right up!
From the Facebook page:
Trek in the Park RETURNS! This summer, we present an episode with one of the most classic and enduring villains to ever cross paths with Kirk and crew in the final frontier, KHAN.
A perfectly preserved, genetically enhanced warrior from the 20th century, Khan, is revived by the crew of the USS Enterprise upon discovering his adrift ship. They deduce Khan was the kind of 20th century leader who could have conquered the Earth in his time. However, not everyone is suspicious of Khan’s intentions, one such person is Lt. Marla McGivers, the ship’s historian. She is so moved by Khan’s glorious ambition, she assists him in hijacking the Enterprise to finish the conquest Khan Noonian Singh started 200 years ago. Will this be the last generation for the crew of the USS Enterprise?
Portland actors accompanied with live music and effects bring this classic piece of television to life!
Shows are at 5:00pm Saturdays and Sundays July 10-August 1 (4 weekends!) . 8 shows total! Be sure to get there early for a good viewing spot!
FREE TO THE PUBLIC. ALL AGES WELCOME
Spend a day in the park, bring a picnic and BOLDLY GO!!

My friend Barbara Shaurette has put a few of her costumes up for sale in her Etsy shop — including this phenomenal Battlestar Galactica flight suit modeled after Starbuck’s!
Barbara says,
The suit itself is highly detailed, with exactly placed pockets on the legs and chest, and on the sleeves. Both sleeves include the appropriate patches – “Viper” on the right, and the Galactica insignia on the left. The left sleeve also includes a reflective red panel that extends from forearm to wrist. The wrists and ankles are finished with narrow PVC bands and snap closures. The front of the suit closes with a full-length zipper.
Along with her flight suit, you can check out her Poison Ivy and Barberella costumes, too!
Much to my dismay, I still haven’t seen Where the Wild Things Are, but I’m enjoying all of the crafts to be found. For costumes, just search Craftster or Etsy for a ton of great ones.
