ODDMALL Emporium Of The Weird – PNW Editions

The Captain Slinky Presents Oddmall Emporium of The Weird SPRUNG Art, Craft, Gift & Gaming Show Vendor Applications are once again OPEN and we are READY to take your applications! Visit http://www.oddmall.co/sprung2apply today! “But Captain,” I hear you saying to your screen, “What does THAT have to do with that big image up there that says Captain Slinky in conjunction with The Sno-Co Toy Show Presents Oddmall Emporium of The Weird CREEPSMAS Part 3: Dawn of The Toys?

Every year, our annual “Between The Holidays” holiday of Creepsmas is our BIGGEST SHOW of the year – we’ve even had vendors SELL OUT OF PRODUCT at these Creepsmas events! It’s gotten SO POPULAR, we end up turning away dozens of vendors every year! So THIS year, we’re kicking it up a notch or 27 by renting out *TWO BUILDINGS*! And so we will have, in the Don Britton Livestock Pavilion (the building we have had every post-pandemic show in thus far), the Sno-Co Toy Show with over a hundred vendors selling you toys, collectables and other great Holiday Gift Items that probably won’t be hand-made… and then next door in the giant EVENT CENTER we will have nearly TWO HUNDRED MORE VENDORS selling you the same weird-o art, craft, gift and whatnot you’ve come to love and expect from your old pal Captain Slinky and our little Crafttacular Freak Show!

This is, of course, a HUGE RISK. But it sounds SO COOL! The paperwork is already signed! The wheels are more than in motion! Many of you know that we have made a vow to never, EVER promote or sell an event we don’t have 100% certainty of moving forward with, and by golly we are moving FORWARD!

“Okay, Slinky, you’ve got my interest; how do I sign up?” I’M SO GLAD YOU ASKED! YOU CAN’T! YET!

HOWEVER! Those who have signed up for a space at either our April 29/30 Oddmall SPRUNG show or the May 27th Sno-Co-Toy Show will have FIRST CRACK at the spaces for CREEPSMAS! You’ll get full week head start to choose your spaces – you all want corner spaces, right? THIS is your best chance at getting a corner!

Head on over to http://www.oddmall.co/sprung2apply to get a space at our SPRUNG show, or to http://www.snocotoyshow.com and get on the list! HURRY! You won’t want to miss this one!

It looks like the next Captain Slinky Presents Oddmall Emporium of The Weird SPRUNG Art, Craft, Gift & Gaming Show April 29-30 at the Evergreen State Fairgrounds in Monroe, WA was just too much for the third-party payment processing service we use to handle! MORE VENDORS SIGNED UP IN JANUARY THAN WE HAVE EVER SIGNED UP FOR ANY PREVIOUS ODDMALL, and it broke the system! It’ll take till February 1st for it to be resolved, so till then application approvals are ON HOLD. Also, it seems I’ll be searching for a more robust payment processing service 😉

APPLICATIONS ARE STILL OPEN, you just won’t hear from us till Wednesday February 1st. Sorry for any inconvenience!

Applications are now open for the next Captain Slinky Presents Oddmall Emporium of The Weird show, “SPRUNG 2“! This is our annual show that is focused on tabletop, card and board games so that’s the type of vendors we’re looking for – as well as our usual assortment of anyone who makes weird, unique, bizarre stuff. Don’t feel like you quite fit in at the Elks Club Ladies Auxiliary Craft Show & Bake Sale with your drawings of screeching weasels or bedazzled cow skulls? COME TO US! WE LOVE YOU!

In previous years, we have offered a semi-professional photographs with Krampus to all our customers, but there were some pretty major flaws and delays in the system which meant there were a lot of folks who just never got their pictures! That’s why THIS YEAR, we’re doing things a bit differently – YOU CAN TAKE YOUR OWN DANG PICTURE!

No, SERIOUSLY! We all walk around with these thousand-dollar digital photography studios in our pockets that we call “Phones”, right? Well let’s use them! We will have one of our people right there in the Lobby with Krampus and his Brats ready to take as many pics as you like WITH YOUR OWN PHONE! And there you have it! No waiting for digitization, no uploading, no download codes, just “Hey now I have a picture of ME AND KRAMPUS” and then you post it to your favorite Social Media Platform!

Because we live in The Future!

Oh, and you could win some of the weirdest prizes, too, just by tagging us in your post! Did I forget to mention that? YEAH! Take your picture with Krampus, Squatcho Man, Monoculon or Doc! Post it! Tag us (INSTAGRAM: @csoddmall FACEBOOK: @OddmallPNW, or just use the hastag of #Creepsmas2 on any other social media platform) and you could be walking away with a prize worth more than FIFTY DOLLARS! Three times this weekend – Once on Saturday, Twice on Sunday) I will make an announcement over the loudspeakers. All you’ll have to do is show us your post where you tagged us or used the hashtag, and YOU WIN!

I mean seriously… I’m still getting over the “It May As Well Be COVID” cold that’s going around, I’m loopy on a mixture of Spaghetti-O’s and Cough Medicine, and that’s on top of me just being *ME* which is already disorienting enough, I’m SURE y’all will scan it and let me know about all my mistakes 🙂

You could also click RIGHT HERE to be taken to the etsy store for them as well 🙂

Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair! Well, my works that surround that GORGEOUS piece of dark surrealist/futuristic artwork provided by local artist Cryomera! LOOK AT IT!!! We’re going to have special, limited-edition shirts printed up with this image, and all profits from our sale will go directly to the artist! Look fr an announcement soon regarding where to get those shirts 😉

We should also note the slew of announcements on this poster, too! First up, PNW Krampus and a few of his assorted Brats will be there for all your Holiday Picture needs! This year, we WILL NOT be offering a professional photographer and instead have a dedicated staff member stationed there ready to take your picture for you using YOUR phone, camera, tablet, or whatever! We’re cutting out The Middle Person and getting the pics to you using one of the best all-in-one photography studios ever, YOUR PHONE!

Beloved local legend/icon The Squatcho-Man” (The greatest 1980’s professional wrestler sasquatch IN THE WORLD) will be making unscheduled appearances, irregular appearances throughout the weekend, courtesy of the fine folks at Retro Emporium Kent. OOOOOOOH YEHYUH!

Let’s see, what else… Weird-o’s, Monoculon The Observer, OH! Once again, we will be handing out OVER 100 ODD, “VALUABLE”* DOOR PRIZES! (*”Valuable” in the sense that everything in a socio-capitalistic society has value as a commodity, from the finest diamond to the dog poop in your lawn, can be valued in positive or negative valuation.)

Captain Slinky Presents Oddmall Emporium of The Weird CREEPSMAS 2 Art, Craft & Gift Show November 12-13 at the Evergreen State Fairgrounds in Monroe, WA – Free admission, free parking, free FUN!

THREE SPACES are now available for the upcoming Captain Slinky Presents Oddmall Emporium of The Weird CREEPSMAS 2 “Between-The-Holidays” Art, Craft & Gift Show at the Evergreen State Fairgrounds in Monroe, WA this coming November 12-13, and they’re even CHEAPER than ANY OTHER SPACES WE HAVE PREVIOUSLY OFFERED!!! So yeah, OF COURSE there’s a catch 😦

These spaces are in the Outside Covered Patio area. It’s a great, dry, 20′ roof over a concrete patio. These spaces all have a nice wall behind them (I know I always go for spaces with a wall behind me). One of the spaces has electricity, the other two have faucets (weird, right?) and they are just $100 per 10’x10′ space! The down-sides to these spaces are, obviously, that they are outside where we keep all the cold and wind. We have put vendors out there before and the biggest complaints were from people who weren’t used to doing outdoor events. To take one of these spaces, you need to be prepared with a jacket and a way to secure your product over night. Great bargain for anyone who’s prepared for outdoor sales!

If you’re interested, contact us ASAP at csoddmall@gmail.com so we can send you an invoice and get you on the map!
