We’re opening up applications for this show early this year because there’s a lot of great options out there that exact same weekend, and as a vendor I know it’s going to be really hard for you to decide which one is best for you! It’s tough!
Grit City Comic Show in Tacoma is just the one day, Saturday November 9th. Spaces for that show range from $110 to $230 for the day. Attendance is just $10! They’ve got comics professionals, cosplayers, gaming, a great-big Lego display… it’s awesome!
Geek Girl Con at the Convention Center in Seattle is the whole weekend (11/9-11-10) and is truly “Next Level” as far as conventions go, a great family show that’s also educational! It costs a non-refundable $10 to apply, and spaces are $300-$450 each. Attendance costs $35 to $200 per adult, lots of ad-ons available.
…And just for comparison, Captain Slinky Presents Oddmall Emporium of The Weird CREEPSMAS 4 Art, Craft & Gift Show in Monroe is all weekend as well, attendance is free and parking is free! Vendor spaces cost between $115-$285 (we rolled back our prices because things are tough all over, right?), food trucks, jugglers, free pics with Krampus, over 100 door prizes, Second-Chance Costume Contest, food trucks…
So what is it? “SPRUNG!” is a gathering of over 170 different local artists, performers, writers and other weird-o’s that hate seasonal allergies and outdoor activities in the sun just as much as you do! Why waste a perfectly good Springtime Weekend fighting off attacks from pollen, sunshine, bugs and whatever else Spring is trying to kill us with when you could come to Oddmall for FREE and see some REALLY WEIRD SHHhhhhhhhhtuff. Stuff. Weird STUFF! It’s a PG-13 show, so it’s STUFF!
Oddmall has everything you could ever want for a delightful indoor weekend – dolls made out of animal bones, Star Trek potholders, hand-blown glass mushrooms, local game designers, food trucks, jugglers, Yo-Yo Masters, over a hundred Door Prizes, and the chance to FIGHT A MAN IN A WHEELCHAIR FOR A PRIZE!!!
It’s impossible to give an accurate description of what you’ll find at any given Oddmall, other than the stated theme – and THIS Oddmall, our “Sprung” show, is all about Tabletop Games. Come play a game! It’s FREE! Free admission, free parking, free prizes, free FUN!
Thank you, everyone, for making yet another Captain Slinky Presents Oddmall Emporium of The Weird CREEPSMAS event a great success! We had a lot of competition out there, everything from the Grit City Comic Show to the Camano Island Miniature Wargame Show, but the crowds came! Not as many as in previous years, which was to be expected – rainy weekend, other big events going on, and everyone’s favorite catch-all excuse THE ECONOMY! Our sophisticated crowd-tabulating algorithm shows that we had an estimated crown of nearly 4,000 people through the doors over the course of the weekend – a few more than we had at “Sprung 2” last May, but not as many as our past two “Creepsmas” shows. We have now leveled-off to Pre-Pandemic Attendance Levels, sooooo… yay?
And hey, how did we all love the new Krampus set-up??? Mr. Snow Jangles and crew really know how to bring the show! And best of all, no having to wait for a silly download link for your free pics – just use the $1,000 professional photography studio in your pocket (the one you check your email on) and BOOM! Instant, perfect pictures that can be shared INSTANTLY!
We had 60 entries for our first ever “Your Cool Halloween Costume Totally Should Have Won A Prize” After-Halloween Costume Contest, and we look forward to making it a Creepsmas tradition! It was so much fun to see Murder Clowns frolicking with Super Heroes!
So anyways, the thing that MOST PEOPLE wanted to know about was “How Do We Sign Up For _______?” (The Next Oddmall, Notifications, A Newsletter, Involuntary Organ Harvesting, etc) – well NOW YOU CAN! Just go to our brand-spanking-new EMAIL LIST and you can get it all!!! https://forms.gle/65aeFHuiUsznf6GZ9
And that’s about it! Next Oddmall is the weekend of 4/20 – THE ONLY 4/20 show that isn’t a, y’know, “420 Show” wink wink. See you then!
It’s supposed to be “Drizzly” all weekend long, which makes this lovely INDOOR EVENT the perfect alternative to whatever else you were going to do this weekend that got cancelled because of the Drizzle! FREE ADMISSION! FREE PARKING! A costume contest with a giant bag of cash as the grand prize! Juggling! Food trucks! KRAMPUS! And of course the STAR of our show, 170 OF THE WEIRDEST ARTIST-TYPE FOLKS YOU’LL EVER SEE! Seriously! It’s like a Muppet Show made out of Gonzos! You’re gonna LOVE IT!
…And as if that weren’t enough, there’s also the SnoCo Toy & Collectibles Show right next door! THIS IS THE WEEKEND YOU GET ALL YOUR HOLIDAY SHOPPING DONE IN ONE PLACE!!!
The hardest part of Halloween, to me, is spending so much time and effort on a cool costume only to have people not “Get It”. I get the case from an old CRT computer monitor, carve a hole for my head in it, glue on some bulls horns, put on a Gladiator skirt, go shirtless and wear fuzzy pants that look like I have hooves at the end, and NOBODY gets that I am the mythical MONITAUR. The prize ends up going to somebody dressed up as Barbie or Ken or Insert Topical Costume Idea Here.
(Artists Rendition; I’d probably look WAY more buff than this)
ONE GRAND PRIZE WINNER will win a gallon-size Ziploc baggie full of money! Three Runners-Up will win Limited Edition Oddmall Creepsmas 3 T-Shirts! And EVERYONE who enters will win a Oddmall Creepsmas 3 Limited Edition Poster! AND ALL YOU GOTTA DO IS SHOW UP IN A COSTUME YOU’VE ALREADY GOT!!!
Captain Slinky Presents Oddmall Emporium of The Weird CREEPSMAS 3 “Between-The-Holidays” Art, Craft & Gift Show November 11-12 at the Evergreen State Fairgrounds in Monroe, WA – Over 170 weird-o artists and vendors, free admission, free parking, jugglers, side quests, pictures with Krampus, costume contest, food trucks, over 100 Door Prizes via our Prize Wheel of Destiny, and the SnoCo Toy & Collectibles Show right next door! Make a weekend of it! It’s gonna be AWESOME!!!
All you have to do is figure out which TEN SONGS on the official Captain Slinky Presents Oddmall Emporium of The Weird Halloween Mixtape Challenge Playlist are THE ten songs that no Halloween Mixtape should be without! There’s a hundred great Halloween Party Songs on that playlist, but only TEN of them are the ones that are in pretty much every Halloween Party Mixtape that’s ever been created – you can probably think of like 4 of them right off the top of your head before you even finish reading this sentence!
Head over to http://www.oddmall.co/mixtape to find out more about this fun contest and to see a full unsorted list of all 100 songs – this FREE contest is open to EVERYONE, Oddmall Vendors and Staff included because I, CAPTAIN SLINKY, am the only one who knows the ten songs and what order they go in!
