![]() This is a must-go if you love spooky, witchy things. Why You Need To Go: A huge expo full of all kinds of oddities and bizarre entertainment is coming to Dallas. It’ll be very interesting to see how many customers will go to the effort of carrying cash just to buy from them, or if they’ll just buy from someone else. Address: Centennial Hall At Fair Park, 1001 Washington St., Dallas, TX. At the rate things are going, give the small vendor arena five years, and the only people taking cash will those deliberately refusing to leave 1999. ![]() However, not only do you have fewer vendors who only take cash, but even fewer who complain about it. That was the surprising part: you still have people using cash at events such as these, as it’s easy to track and even easier to set yourself up with a spending limit. They will, though, ask “Do you take cards?” because of the number of vendors who will only accept cash, to which I give my standard response, “Where the hell do you think you are: the Twentieth Century?” ![]() WE FERVENTLY WISH WE DID NOT KNOW THESE THINGS, BUT WE KNOW.) The nearly universal consensus is that most attendees of events like these born after 1980 go through weeks and months without every encountering paper or metal money, and they don’t really miss it. Credit cards take up little room, they’re replaceable if lost or misplaced, they don’t require lots of change, either in bills or in coin, and they still work even when saturated in boob or crotch sweat. For the last decade since cheap and effective credit card readers became available to small sellers, the shift has obviously been going toward plastic. The surprise? The amount of cash being used. ![]() (If anything, the upcoming Texas Frightmare Weekend a month from now should be even bigger and more intense, seeing as how all three days are very nearly sold out as of this writing.) That, though, wasn’t a surprise. The first and most obvious point about this year’s Oddities & Curiosities Expo was the huge and wildly enthusiastic crowd, especially considering all of the other events going on in Dallas at the same exact time, which once again blows Dallas’s undeserved reputation for being boring and conservative out of the water.
