But I will get up there eventually, have no fear. (My minions have me chained to a desk writing). Sadly, I won’t be there myself to experience Kaleidoscape on its opening day. Meow Wolf ride at Elitch Gardens: Trippy new Kaleidoscape experience is a hallucinogenic gallery of neon art Today you get just a taste: the dark ride called Kaleidoscape, opening at Elitch Gardens. That one will be mindblowing, but it’s not scheduled to open until 2020. No, no, not the BIG Meow Wolf, the massive installation three times the size of Santa Fe’s House of Eternal Return that is going in downtown, just south of I-25 and a mile or so from Mile High. You ready, Denver? Meow Wolf has arrived! Wear masks, and get your vaccinations as soon as your number is called. Those of you in Vegas and environs, do check out the Omega Mart if you can… but please, do so safely. (But we have plenty of signed books for sale, if you would like to help support us. Next door Beastly Books is open only for mail order. My theatre, the Jean Cocteau Cinema, remains closed as well. When Meow Wolf will be clear to reopen we cannot say that all depends on the pace of vaccination, I suppose. 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. There are many more stories out there on the internet, for those who would like to know more. (And wait till you see what they are building in Denver!) This is a major expansion… and the Vegas exhibit is larger than the original as well. This is not a Disneyland/ Disneyworld/ Euro Disney scenario, the same thing in a different place. 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. Many of you reading this may have already seen Meow Wolf’s first permanent exhibit, the House of Eternal Return in Santa Fe. But I expect I will get there eventually). 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. (And no, I have not seen the exhibit myself yet. Sellouts will be the rule of the day for a while yet. The opening is subject to Covid restrictions, which means they are limited (for now) to 25% capacity, I believe. Just showing up at the door is not likely to work. 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. This is the second permanent installation from Meow Wolf, and tickets are available now. 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. Not open yet, no, but my friends at Da Wolf tell me that Denver is “coming along really well.” When I know more, I will pass it along. Meow Wolf’s third location will be Denver, with an installation as big as the first two combined. Santa Fe is one, Las Vegas is two… but they say that the third time is the charm. I haven’t had the chance to check it out myself yet, being in isolation at my cabin in the mountains… but there’s no reason you shouldn’t, if you’re in the vicinity of Sin City. Once again, covid restrictions are in effect, but Omega Mart has sold out near every slot since opening in February. Meanwhile, off in Las Vegas (Nevada, not New Mexico), Omega Mart, the second Meow Wolf installation, is doing great business as well. Covid restrictions are in place, so capacity has been limited… and what better time to revisit (or visit for the first time), than now, when the crowds are thinner? The madmen at Meow Wolf took advantage of the lockdown to repair, restore, and improve the attraction too, adding some amazing new rooms, like the Temple of Trash. The House of Eternal Return, the original Meow Wolf installation in Santa Fe, reopened on the Five Year anniversary of our debut.
