Big news from Everett today!

Seattle Weekly presents Oddmall Seattle is now working with Tilted Thunder roller derby! We will have a booth set up in the lobby of the Comcast Arena during the Roller Derby Bouts in March and April to promote Oddmall. The Tilted Thunder Roller Derby has a bout on June 1st. Come early to Oddmall and stay for the Roller Derby! Roller Derby girls will also be on site at Oddmall for pictures and autographs!

Want to share a booth at Oddmall? Now you can! 1/2 table size available now!

I have had several requests from vendors who are a little hesitant to try a show like this for the first time, or they don’t have enough merchandise to fill a booth. I also get requests for people looking to share a booth, so here is what I have done”

Spots 124 – 131 are now shared spots. Basically you will each get 1/2 of a 6′ x 3′ table (Table included!) and 1 chair for each of you. The cost for this is $150 for each spot. The map has been updated to reflect this change.

Costuming and CosPlay

If you dig putting on the fancy duds, the steampunk goggles, the stormtrooper armor, the fluffy dog ears, the superhero cape, that little pink number you think your wife doesn’t know about but she really just loves you enough not to mention it, the wizard robes, the Dr. Who scarf, the life-size Godzilla feet, or any other sort of costume, garb, get-up, or disguise then Oddmall: Emporium of the Weird  is the place for you. One of several places, actually (Here’s another).

We love pretending to be things we’re not. After all, in real life I only get to be a sexy secret agent-children’s book illustrator and game designer with a full head of awesome hair and the body of a god (Buddha or possibly Garuda on a bad day)*, but if I raid the costume closet I can be a pirate-ninja-sorcerer-Cthulhu-hutt-girl scout, or a steampunk-superhero-hobbit-fairy, or a ballerina-hot dog-Hogwarts student-timelord, or a zombie-Godzilla-robot, or an ear of corn or whatever the kids are into nowadays.

Anyway, the point is, costumes are encouraged at Oddmall. All costumes (as long as they’re legal and safe for the chillunz to see). Imagination is Earth’s most important resource and we want to see what’s cooking in your noggin. Show us what you’re into. Be PROUD. Sing it LOUD. Don your geek garb and strut your stuff.

To facilitate such snazziness, we have several super-fun CosPlay activities planned. Here is the first:

Costume Parade

This will be sweet. All of the costumed peeps at Oddmall will form a procession, led by a phalanx of imperial stormtroopers and possibly a marching band, parading their shiny wazoos throughout the entire place, showing off their snazzy duds and brightening the hearts of young and old alike. It will be both the bee’s pajamas and the cat’s knees all rolled into one.

 

More details as they emerge!
