Hey there, gang! Captain Slinky here, with some quick notes about the great big Captain Slinky Presents Oddmall Emporium of The Weird CREEPSMAS Art, Craft & Gift Show November 8-9 at the Evergreen State Fairgrounds in Monroe, WA!
FREE FREE FREE!!! As with all our Captain Slinky Presents Oddmall Emporium of The Weird events, it’s FREE ADMISSION and FREE PARKING! Oh sure, our Juggler at the front door will hit you up for donations, but that’s just to cover my outrageous gambling debt (Whoever said “Always Bet On Black” obviously never placed bets on what color the sun will be tomorrow morning). Maps and details at http://www.oddmall.co/creepsmas
INSTANT PRIZE COSTUME CONTEST! We’re shaking things up a bit this year for the Costume Contest. There will still be a GRAND PRIZE of my old nylon wallet full of cash, of course, but now we ALSO have right around 100 “Instant Win” prizes for some very specific categories! Stuff like “Best Use Of Teeth”, “Most Eyes”, “7th Spider-Man Of The Day” and 97 others that you won’t know till you win them! Instant Win Prizes range from a single dollar to FIFTY BUCKS! Details and rules can be found at http://www.oddmall.co/costumes
KRAMPUS & SANTA: TOGETHER AGAIN FOR THE FIRST TIME! The Lobby Area that leads to the restrooms (easily found on our free Vendor Map) will be transformed into a MAAAAAAAAAAgical Lobby Area That Leads To The Restrooms for all your Holiday Photo needs! Get a professional picture-taker person to take your picture with his fancery camera, or just have him grab a quick snap with your phone! Just Santa? Just Krampus? Both at the same time? Or a picture of just YOU, hanging out in the MAAAAAAAAAAgical Lobby Area That Leads To The Restrooms!
FOOD TRUCKS! We’ve got a great mix of old favorites and new hotshots for you this year, plan on having lunch with us! OMG Gyros, Sharina Beans Coffee, Delicioux Crepes, High On Tacos, Dreamy Drinks, The Cheese Pit, Tacos Monte Alban and Bavarian Kettle Corn will all be on hand to maximize your options for stuff to shove down your gullet!
THE PRIZE WHEEL OF DESTINY! Located in the back corner of the building at the Captain Slinky Oddmall HQ, this is where you go to win your door prize and possibly fight a dude in a wheelchair! Prizes range in value from “Chintzy Cheap” to “I Can’t Believe That Was A Door Prize At A Craft Show” – you may even be sent on an adventurer’s quest to obtain your prize!
NEW MERCH, SAME PRICES! We have an INCREDIBLE new shirt featuring exclusive artwork by featured artist Morgan Kilimnik “Welcome To The Weird” (who can be found at space E11 in the middle of the building), plus shirts from most of our previous shows while supplies last at just $15 each regardless of size! You’ll also find Oddmall Hoodies and Oddmall Sticker Packs as well, all at the Captain Slinky HQ in the back corner of the room!
KURIOUS KORNER! We have put an INCREDIBLE assortment of some of the ABSOLUTE BEST artists and painters all along the back wall of the building starting at Space H22 with superstar artist Kurious Karissa and including Monsters In Ink! Nick The Hat! Croteaumacabre Art + Illustration! Ruben The Artist! Geosartshop! Shanna Duncan Art! And MORE!!! It’s a leisurely stroll through the absolute best of the best where I SWEAR you’ll find the perfect weird piece of art to tie your entire living room together!
AND NOW FOR A QUICK ROUND OF FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS!
Are Dogs (Cats/Birds/Lizards/Fish/Etc) Allowed? Unfortunately, no… just Service Animals. Sorry, fairgrounds policy!
Is there an ATM on site? YES, but they only give out 20’s and the line can get kind of long. There will be one at the front of the building, and one in the MAAAAAAAAAAgical Lobby Area That Leads To The Restrooms.
Are we being watched? YES! There’s all sorts of cameras and video recording and television reporters and basically your picture will be being taken every second you’re at Oddmall, just like everywhere else.You might even end up on our social media!
Is it ADA Accessible? You know it! We try our darndest to get the aisles to be 9 to 10 feet wide because I like to go zoom-zoom through the building on my cherry red speed machine!
How “Kid Friendly” is this show, really? We like to say that it’s a strong PG-13. There are swear words on products. There are snails that look like genitals. There are dead things in jars. It’s not like we’re all “Grrr, take this! Your innocence is now GONE! Welcome to the creepy world of ADULTHOOD, kiddo!”, but yeah it’s there 
And I think that about covers it! I hope you’ll all join us at some time over the weekend, it’s going to be “Dope”!

Captain Slinky Presents Oddmall Emporium of The Weird CREEPSMAS Art, Craft & Gift Show November 8-9 at the Evergreen State Fairgrounds in Monroe, WA. Over 170 weird-o artists and vendors, free admission, free parking, hundreds of door prizes, jugglers, food trucks, your chance to fight a dude in a wheelchair, costume contests, dead things, live things, weird things… you gotta come join us!
We have a long standing tradition of trying to find a local show once a year where we can try and rehome some of the toys that were donated to Captain Slinky over the years for the purpose of creating art. We need to give these toys a chance to be TOYS one last time before we make them into art, otherwise we might end up like the character of “Sid” from the Toy Story movies!
This year, our show of choice is The Washington State SummerCon in Puyallup, WA! Come find us in The Centennial Tent (near the SummerCon Merch Booth) and we’ll make sure you go home with something fun! And while you’re there you could pick up one of our Chad Scheres Oddmall T-Shirts!
BONUS: Take a selfie at our booth and post it to Social Media? We’ll give you A PRIZE!
Applications took SO MUCH LONGER than I expected this year! The flood of applications all at once knocked everything out of whack, and I suddenly found myself having to narrow down some bazillion applications to just the 170 weirdest, most awesome ones. I had to deny SO MANY APPLICATIONS!!! It hurts SO BAD, because each and every application I KNOW is somebody’s dream! Somebody looking for validation that THEIR art, the thing THEY do, is somehow valid and appreciated… and here I come with my big old “You’re Not Worthy” Hammer to bust their dreams into a billion pieces.
I hated that feeling, back when I was a struggling artist applying to every show I could and looking for that validation. It would ruin my life for WEEKS. “Why don’t they think I’m good enough? I guess I’m not… the only people who like my art are friends and relatives who are just trying to be nice. I should just give up.”
PLEASE DO NOT GIVE UP!!! If you received a rejection from us and you’re feeling terrible, PLEASE feel free to reach out to me, Captain Slinky, at our official email address of csoddmall@gmail.com and I’ll give you as much personal feedback as I can about why you may have been rejected, plus advice/tips on how I feel you might be able to have a better chance next time?
5/16/2025 – THE GOOD NEWS is that we can now get back to approving applications for the next Captain Slinky Presents Oddmall Emporium of The Weird CREEPSMAS 2025 Art, Craft & Gift Show November 8-9 at the Evergreen State Fairgrounds in Monroe, WA! THE BAD NEWS is that we have to do it all by hand, so it’s going to be a bit… slower. I know, I know… I hear you say “But Cap’n! The only way you could possibly go any slower would be to travel BACKWARDS THROUGH TIME! Slower than ZERO is a NEGATIVE NUMBER!”\
I know, I know…. *sigh*. Sorry for the continued delays! Stay tuned!
As of right now, Noon on May 14th 2025, we are unable to process any applications and we have no idea why. We’re working on it!
