This is the Captain Slinky Presents Oddmall Emporium of The Weird social media account that has more of Captain Slinky's IRL thoughts and musings than anyplace else - Now you can see just what kind of a jerk I REALLY am ;) https://linktr.ee/csoddmall
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!
We are now accepting applications for the Captain Slinky Presents Oddmall Emporium of The Weird CREEPSMAS 2025 Art, Craft & Gift Show! Click HERE to be taken to the applications page, or on the picture of Bugs and Daffy declaring it officially “Oddmall Season” to apply!
Save the dates! November 8-9 at the Evergreen State Fairgrounds in Monroe (Washington), it’s the great big Captain Slinky Presents Oddmall Emporium of The Weird CREEPSMAS Art, Craft & Gift Show! It’s the perfect place to get the perfect gift for the perfect person in your perfect life that’s perfectly difficult to shop for! Over 170 local Artists, Crafters and Captain Slinky Approved Vendors (mostly toys and games) with a decidedly “Alternative” tone.
There’s also Food Trucks, Games of Skill & Chance, Flying Meats, Jugglers, Yo-Yo-Masters, Krampus, Photo Ops, Immortals, A Cash-Prize Costume Contest, Your Chance To Fight A Dude In A Wheelchair, Over 100 Door Prizes, Treasure Quests, Fun Facts, A Nerf Dart Firing Range, Monoculon The Observer, and whatever else I can fit into the budget!
THE WINNERS* OF THE CAPTAIN SLINKY PRESENTS ODDMALL EMPORIUM OF THE WEIRD “SPRUNG” RETRO ARCADE CHALLENGE HAVE BEEN SELLECTED! If any of these were your registered initials for the event, check your email!
UFO
FAE
DOG
HEX
VAG
ZZZ
RAT
POP
There’s an asterix up there by “Winners” because I goofed – ends up there was no way to reset the high scores on our games, and very little chance that anybody would have been able to bust into the Top 10 High Scores of the past 30-40 years. So we raffled it! We got our our dice (the Captain Slinky Family has A LOT of dice) and rolled till we had 8 different entries selected, one for each prize! We’ve already had one of the emails bounce back as undeliverable, the person who chose “DOG” as their initials. So if you registered as that, let us know!
Thank you all for a great event! I did some crazy things with our advertising this time around and it seems to have worked – we had an estimated 4.500 people come through the doors at Oddmall last weekend – and INCREDIBLE turnout for a springtime craft show! So how did you know to come to Oddmall?
Captain Slinky Presents Oddmall Emporium of The Weird welcomes Local Oddmall Artist and, coincidentally enough, Ms. Wheelchair NorthWestern USA Giusiana Prosser all this weekend at the Captain Slinky Presents Oddmall Emporium of The Weird SPRUNG! Art, Craft & Retro Arcade Challenge March 29-30 at the Evergreen State Fairgrounds in Monroe, WA! Pictured here (she’s the one on the right), Giusiana will be on hand advocating rare disease awareness and pausing for pictures as time permits! She’s out there each and every day, fighting for all of us with “Invisible Disabilities” that make doctors say stuff like “It’s All In Your Head” and “Have you considered losing some weight” as a diagnosis. When you see her, stop her and tell her thanks!”
THE PRIZE for our Captain Slinky Presents Oddmall Emporium of The Weird SPRUNG 2025 Art, Craft & Retro Arcade Gaming Show COSTUME CONTEST HAS BEEN ANNOUONCED! You get my old nylon wallet and everything in it! Expired video rental membership cards, old coupons, baby pictures, AND OVER $100 CASH! It’s all the money I got in tips during my last shift dancing the main stage at the Itchy Kitty Strip Club & All-You-Can-Eat Seafood Brunch Buffet, so it’s mostly small, damp bills – AND I WOULDN’T HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY!
All you have to do is show up in costume and let us take your picture for our Social Media accounts! Full rules can be found at http://www.oddmall.co/costumes so you don’t miss your chance!

It’s because I love you, DUH!

And if you DON’T win, these VERY limited edition hoodies will be available for sale at our event March 29-30 at the Evergreen State Fairgrounds in Monroe for just $25 each while supplies last regardless of size because I hate it when they charge more for the larger and smaller sizes đŸ™‚
In a world where everything is just getting more and more expensive, why not come to the one Capitalistic event in Washington State that doesn’t charge you anything? Over 170 vendors will be waiting for you in Monroe the weekend of March 29-30 to just come and have a good time with us! Oddmall is one of the rare events where you can just come and take a break. Look at some incredible, local art! Discover local authors! Win some prizes! Enjoy the flood of nostalgia from retro toys and games. Heck, COME PLAY A GAME! You don’t have to spend anything more than gas money and your time!
We get it, times are tough. Maybe you don’t have the money for a new Bedazzled Cow Skull or a Coat Made Of Recycled Bottles right now. That’s okay! Come on down, free parking, free admission, just come in and find those things that delight you, and let the Artist know how much you appreciate the fact that they made that thing! Compliments don’t pay the rent, but they *do* push the Bad Voices In Our Heads to the back so we can keep on keeping on đŸ™‚
