VENDOR APPLICATIONS OPENING SOON!

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

• 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!

Hey gang! Captain Slinky here, and I want to give YOU one of these stylish, sexy, mostly-edible Captain Slinky Presents Oddmall Emporium of The Weird Limited Edition HOODIES for FREE! I hear you asking “But Captain, that there hoodie features original, exclusive artwork by legendary trading card artist CHAD SCHERES of ‘Garbage Pail Kids’ and ‘Wacky Packages’ fame! Surely such a high-quality item is worth AT LEAST $25! Why are you so handsome and generous?”

It’s because I love you, DUH!

So while you are out-n-about this weekend, ESPECIALLY if you’re at the Emerald City Comic Con in Seattle, find one of our flyers or posters and take a picture of it. Post it to your favorite social media (except for “X”, because no), tag us… AND THAT’S IT! We’ll choose one lucky winner on Monday morning and let them know they won!

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 🙂

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 🙂

Just go to https://form.jotform.com/240726931110144 to sign up and you could be LOCALLY FAMOUS! Just imagine… your 1.5″x1.5″ image or message could be in the hands of some 3,000 to 7,000 Oddmall Attendees who are all wondering “WHERE OH WHERE could I find a business that offers brand-name spatulas at a fraction of retail cost?” Even if you DON’T sell spatulas, they’re gonna be looking at those ads on the Oddmall map and see YOUR AD and go “Oh daaaaaang, they offer hourly erotic clown rentals!” (or whatever it is you do for a business), “I’m so glad I saw that ad!” and then they’re gonna call you up and say “Hello, I would like to rent your sexiest clown FOR AN ENTIRE WEEK!” and then you’ll take that money and retire to your private island hideaway where you drink rum-based drinks from various hollowed-out tropical fruits served to you by – you guessed it – EROTIC CLOWNS! All because you bought a sponsored space on our Oddmall map!
