‘Twas the Night Before Christmas–Star Trek

I stumbled upon this hilarious version of ‘Twas The Night Before Christmas–Star Trek, while trying to find some geeky Christmas cookies, but believe me, if you surf over to fiftiesweb and read this poem in it’s entirety you won’t be sad I didn’t didn’t find any cookies featuring Spock in a Santa Hat.

It’s Riker, It’s Data,

        It’s Worf and Jean-Luc!

        It’s Geordi, And Wesley, the genetic fluke!

        To the top of the bridge, to the top of the hall!

        Now float away! Float away! Float away all!”

       

        As leaves in the autumn are whisked off the street,

        So the floor of the bridge came away from our feet,

        And up to the ceiling, our bodies they flew,

        As the Captain called out,

        “What the Hell is this, Q?!”

The ornament pictured is from Hallmark‘s incredibly popular Star Trek ornament line–a new one comes out every year, so check your Hallmark store for this year’s, and have a very geeky Christmas Eve!

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!
