SPRUNG

WHAT IS “SPRUNG”?

“Sprung” is an art, craft and gift show at the Evergreen State Fairgrounds in Monroe, Washington, that is also a celebration of Spring for people who are sick and tired of having the outdoors try and kill them EVERY DAY with pollen, sunshine and fresh air! I mean hey, we get it – lots of people can hardly wait for mowing the lawn, wearing cargo shorts and planting a garden. Maybe you even love a nice bike ride or hike through one of our National, State or Local Parks! But for US, all Springtime means is we need to buy more Dayquil, switch from Claritin to Zyrtec, and figure out how many Tylenol PM one needs to take in order to balance out the buzz from a dose of Sudafed. And so we call this time “Sprung”, past-tense, because by April 30th we’re over a FULL MONTH into Spring and we are OVER IT.

So at the Captain Slinky Presents Oddmall Emporium of The Weird “Sprung” Art, Craft & Gift Show, you will find all sorts of PG-13 stuff that appeals to us “Indoorsy Types” check out the map and vendor list below! Each one a hand-picked vendor by us to fit in with our uniquely Goth, Punk, Weird, Horror, Creative, Occult, Bizarre, Wonderful lifestyle!

And you folks who actually LIKE Springtime? You can come, too šŸ™‚

GAMING AREA

Click the angry gamers to apply!

If there’s one thing we Sprung folk love, it’s the indoorsiest of indoor activities – TABLETOP GAMES. Board Games, Miniatures Games, CCG, RPG… we love them all! ANd now, for the first time ever, the Captain Slinky Presents Oddmall Emporium of The Weird will be hosting a GAMING EVENT! We have at least 32 feet of tables – possibly MORE – dedicated to Tabletop Board Games. People selling their old games, people demonstrating new games, people trying to drum up interest for their games on Kickstarter, LOTS AND LOTS OF GAMES! And any spaces NOT being used for that? WIll be used for playing MORE GAMES!!!

Here’s a sampling of the folks that will be setting up and showing you what they got:

  • Let’s Play! Cafe – We couldn’t very well have a GAMING EVENT without inviting the local favorite, could we? They’ve searched their back rooms and forgotten passages for some pretty unique and wonderful stuff you don’t always find on the shelves!
  • All Games New and Old with Beauty & Geek – Our favorite local Board Game Review YouTube channel will be filming all weekend, as well as selling a small selection of dice trays, bags and items made from game related fabrics.
  • Jellyfish Game Studios – Vamp on the Batwalk: A vampire fashion show themed trick taking game where you cant see the front of your cards (because vampires cant see themselves in the mirror)
  • MEGA MINT Games – The Demonic Petting Zoo Game of “SATANIMALS”, and “A Royal Will” – A fast paced card game of bluffing and greed for 2-6 players. Both sound great!
  • Thing 12 Games – Dice of Crowns and Click Click Boom – Two of the greatest quick-play games we’ve ever played!
  • GL HF Games – An interactive deck-building game of eldritch intrigue that sounds RIGHT UP MY ALLEY!

If you are interested in a reserved spot at one of these tables for YOUR playtesting, demoing, or even if it’s just to try and sell your giant pile of “We Played It Once And Now We Don’t Play It Any More” games – I’m looking at YOU, “Dead Of Winter” – you can sign up at https://form.jotform.com/220925585534057 at a rate of $50 per day for a 4’x30″ chunk of table! Do one day, do both days, buy all the spaces or just one – just get in here and connect with your fellow gamers!

DIRECTIONS

The Captain Slinky Presents Oddmall Emporium of The Weird “Srung” event will be located at The Evergreen State Fairgrounds Building 600 (“The Don Britton Livestock Pavillion”) in Monroe, Washington. The building where the OLD Oddmall had always been held, Building 400 (“The Commercial Building”) is scheduled for demolition before our Oddmall, and I SWEAR I had nothing to do with it! I have an alibi! So anyways, SOMETIMES the Google Maps gives weird directions on how to get to our exact building, so just look for the signs. If you turn off US Highway 2 at Cascade View Drive? That’s your most direct route. But really, just follow the signs and you’ll be good!

We have SO MUCH FREE PARKING!!! There are limited Handicap and Non-Handicap spots near the front of the building, and then an ENTIRE EMPTY RV PARKING LOT that is ready for us to fill! Here we have both a picture of the Cascade View entrance to our Free Parking, as well as a map of the entire fairground for in case you miss the Cascade View Drive turn and end up at the opposite end of the fairgrounds from us!

MASK UP AND WIN!

Do you like weird surprises? Of course, we all do! Well, since State and Local mandates have been lifted you won’t HAVE TO wear a mask to the Captain Slinky Presents Oddmall Emporium of The Weird “Sprung” Show, but if you DO wear one? You just might win one of over a HUNDRED different, Weird Door Prize!

All you have to do is show up and wear a mask! If Captain SLinky or one of his representatives sees you wearing your mask, they may give you a prize! IT’S JUST THAT SIMPLE!

MEET THE CREW

Hopefully I’ll have time to upload pictures and profiles of all our staff here before the show? SO MUCH TO DO!!!
