ODDMALL Emporium Of The Weird – PNW Editions

WOW that’s a lot of applications!!! MORE than enough to fill the building a few times over with weird, wonderful stuff! The Application Form is now CLOSED! Thank you all for applying! Now it’s up to our crack-team of analysts to pour over the data and choose The Cream of The Crop (OOH YEAH) to approve!

TODAY (Tuesday June 9th) we will go through the applications and deny the ones that we just don’t want. MLMs, Brand Ambassadors, Corporate Sponsors, Political/Religious Offerings, Temu Resellers, and anything that even REMOTELY looks like A.I. will get denied first.

Second wave of denials will be those vendors that we have just too many of. It’s not necessarily us saying “You’re Just Not Weird Enough”; it just means we don’t have room for you RIGHT NOW because you’re selling a thing that’s REALLY SIMMILAR to a thing that a lot of other people at Oddmall are already selling. Taxidermy, 3D Prints, Wire-Wrap Jewelry and “A Little Bit Of Everything” vendors have to REALLY stand out in order to make it past this wave of denials.

The next wave after that is the hardest one; “VIBE CHECK”. I sit there with our map of the building and try to imagine what our Oddmall looks like with you in it. Do you contribute to the flow of the floorplan, or clash against it? Does it feel awkward having you in the available space, or does it delight me? If I can’t find an available space where I feel you are set up for success, I’ll have to deny you and IT GUTS ME 😦

So GOOD LUCK, EVERYONE!!! You’ll be hearing from us this week! Keep an eye on your inbox!!!

HERE IT IS! Your chance to become one of the, uh… “Interesting”… vendors at the next Captain Slinky Presents Oddmall Emporium of The Weird CREEPSMAS Art, Craft & Gift Show November 21-22 at the Evergreen State Fairgrounds in Monroe, WA! It’s free to apply, so why not give it a try?

This show will likely SELL OUT before the weekend is over, so GO FAST! This a JURIED EVENT, and we fill spaces on a “First Paid/First Served” basis. So if/when you get approved, you’ll want to jump right on it and get it paid!

I know we have a bit of a reputation out there, about how it’s nearly IMPOSSIBLE to get into Oddmall and yeah, it’s true – we’re pretty darned choosy! We fill the building with folks that we would actually buy stuff from rather than just filling it with whoever can pay the most. We don’t choose folks that we don’t think would do well with the “vibe” and/or “flow” of the event – it’s all very hippie-dippy 🙂

If we think any part of your offerings are A.I., we won’t approve you unless your social media has plenty of examples of your work in progress – some people just have an art style that has been ripped off by A.I. so much it’s easy to be mistaken. If you’re a 3D Printer, you need to have some TRULY UNIQUE OFFERINGS to be considered. We have similar, unwritten rules for all categories of vendors – candle makers, taxidermists, writers, game designers, pottery, EVERTHANG!

So good luck! We look forward to seeing all your awesome applications! Don’t forget to include pictures of your bestest, weirdest stuff!

THE GOOD NEWS is that we were able to go back in time and stop Eviltron and his forces from enslaving the human race and blowing up the Earth with his Destructo-Beam! HOORAY!

THE BAD NEWS is that of all the possible, alternate timelines? THIS ONE was the only timeline where there was still an Oddmall Creepsmas Show in November – just not on the same dates? Well there WAS one other timeline with Oddmall in November, but everyone was Dungeoness Crabs. Cute, sure… but crabs don’t have POCKETS with which to carry any cash, checks or credit cards!

So please make sure to update your calendar so you don’t miss the great big Captain Slinky Presents Oddmall Emporium of The Weird CREEPSMAS 2026 Art, Craft & Gift Show November 21-22 at the Evergreen State Fairgrounds in Monroe, WA! We’ve got lots of fun, NEW stuff for you this time around, as well as all the stuff you’re used to by now – free admission, free parking, 170 weird-o artists & assorted vendors, jugglers, food trucks, your chance to fight a dude in a wheelchair, over 100 Door Prizes AND MORE!

BE A PART OF ODDMALL!!! Buy a square (or several squares) of advertising in the Captain Slinky Presents Oddmall Emporium of The Weird SPRUNG 2026 Art, Craft & Gaming Show VENDOR MAP!!! We hand out THOUSANDS of these over the course of the weekend because we use them to send people on QUESTS for their Door Prizes! Plus, it features exclusive artwork by artist CHAD SCHERES (Topps “Wacky Packages”, “Garbage Pail Kids”, etc) so of course this will become a highly sought-after collectable that folks will send off to a grading company so it can be encased in plastic and labeled “9.8” till the day they sell it for a bajillion dollars – AND YOU WILL BE A PART OF THAT LEGACY!!!

We have two levels of advertising available this time around, so everyone can afford to be a part of this momentous occasion! We have the classic 2″x2″ Full Color Outer Square (back and outside of the map) for the traditional $30, and then we also have the new 1.5″x1.5″ Full Color Interior Square (header and footer of the actual Map and Vendor Directory). Buy one! Buy them ALL!

You don’t have to be a vendor or a business or even serious – as long as it’s not Politics, Religion or Pornography, we’ll put it on our map! All ads will be judged on our “Don’t Be A Dick” before we accept it, and if we WON’T print it we’ll reach out and let you know why, try and rework it so we can print it!
