The wolf has meowed again.\u00a0\u00a0 This time in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

Omega Mart, the strangest supermarket in all the multiverse, has finally opened in Sin City, where it will be the anchor of the new Area 15 mall.\u00a0 This is the second permanent installation from Meow Wolf, and tickets are available now.<\/p>\n

If you are in Nevada, or close enough to visit, and would like to check out the Mart, do reserve ahead of time and get your tickets on line. \u00a0\u00a0 Just showing up at the door is not likely to work.\u00a0 The opening is subject to Covid restrictions, which means they are limited (for now) to 25% capacity, I believe.\u00a0\u00a0 Sellouts will be the rule of the day for a while yet.\u00a0\u00a0 (And no, I have not seen the exhibit myself yet.\u00a0 I am a long way from Las Vegas, in isolation in my mountain cabin, and this is not a good time for me to be travelling.\u00a0\u00a0 But I expect I will get there eventually).<\/p>\n

So far, the reviews have been splendid.<\/p>\n

Many of you reading this may have already seen Meow Wolf’s first permanent exhibit, the House of Eternal Return in Santa Fe.\u00a0\u00a0 Be assured, though Omega Mart is part of the same mythos (with more clues to the same underlying mysteries), it is elsewise completely different from the House.\u00a0\u00a0 This is not a Disneyland\/ Disneyworld\/ Euro Disney scenario, the same thing in a different place.\u00a0\u00a0 This is a major expansion… and the Vegas exhibit is larger than the original as well.\u00a0 (And wait till you see what they are building in Denver!)<\/p>\n

There are many more stories out there on the internet, for those who would like to know more.\u00a0\u00a0 Just Google.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, back home in the City Different, the House of Eternal Return remains shuttered for the foreseeable future, in compliance with New Mexico’s own pandemic restrictions.\u00a0\u00a0 When Meow Wolf will be clear to reopen we cannot say; that all depends on the pace of vaccination, I suppose.\u00a0\u00a0 My theatre, the Jean Cocteau Cinema, remains closed as well.\u00a0\u00a0 Next door Beastly Books is open only for mail order.\u00a0\u00a0 (But we have plenty of signed books for sale, if you would like to help support us.\u00a0 Including all of my own titles).<\/p>\n

Those of you in Vegas and environs, do check out the Omega Mart if you can… but please, do so safely<\/em><\/strong>.\u00a0\u00a0 Wear masks, and get your vaccinations as soon as your number is called.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
