The night came down, register sounds were in my ears
Glorbox sounds are all I've heard for twenty years
The lemon screams cut through the whole bazaar
I sit upon the edge now, should I grab that jar?
In the Omega Mart

This explains the Screaming "Lemon" Chicken last night. I said to my wife "Honey, why the quotes around 'Lemon'?" and she was evasive. She never was that way until she started shopping at OM.

Okay, finding out that this is a new Meow Wolf installation makes this a lot easier to understand. Loved the ads, but love them more with context.

Interesting selection, but no thanks; I'm strictly an Apple Cabin shopper.

Too many cooks shop there.

I hope this will still be in place after I'm vaccinated and/or feel comfortable traveling to Las Vegas again. I could use a six-pack of Gender Fluid.

Anyone know what happened to Sean Tejerachi? (The Liar Town, Apple Cabin, Shittington, UK guy)

Yeah once I saw it was Meow Wolf it all seemed to make - well not sense -but contextualized I guess. lol

This simultaneously triggered in me intense nostalgia for 80s/90s local grocery commercials and my intense love of unexplained surreal oddball things..... Made my night!

(I bet there's an Omega Mart in Night Vale, btw.)

Fantastic. I hate this almost as much as I love it but I definitely love it more. I feel like there might be a UK branch opening in Scarfolk quite recently.

If you call the phone number (800-808-4194) it really does connect to Omega Mart.

as the kind of nerd this bullshit is ostensibly aimed at, i gotta hand it to meow wolf; their production is really amazing. i've seen some attractions trying to emulate them and the level of talent involved in MW is really evident. it's disneyfied weird-roadside-america, to be sure, a notch or two too slick, but so far they seem to at least be taking disney-level care in development and construction. it'll be interesting to see if they can keep up this kind of energy as they expand and further corporatize. seems unlikely but stranger things ect...

I didn't know much about Meow Wolf, and the pictures I saw from the Vegas installation made me think this was just a bunch of Burners doing something fun during lockdown. But then I watched a walkthrough of Omega Mart (seizure warning) and realized holy crap this is detailed. As in "holy crap this took years to build" detailed. And there are employees/guides being paid as well.

The Rolling Stone profile from 2019 says they have 400 artists working on projects, and that was before Vegas. That's incredible.
