How to describe Captain Slinky? Well, for starters, he makes these lamps. They're one-of-a-kind and you just have to see them to believe them. They certainly fit in at an event called "The Oddmall." Captain Slinky took the helm of The Oddmall in Washington and has been featuring crafters and vendors that don't always fit in at your generic craft fair. Here, you will find the weirdness that defines the Northwest, and more. Think of it like the best of the DIY vendors at a comic con. 

Also: Random Fandom with Nathan O'Brien. Nathan founded Spokane's Lilac City Comic Con. He sat down to chat about a couple modern renditions of old fandoms that he really got into. 

NW NERD's theme music is by The Hoots. Other music in this episode is "Humm OK," by Gable.
