Last night, a bunch of Free Staters who are in Vegas for Freedom Fest decided to go on a side quest to Area 15, where the amazing Omega Mart interactive art installation is. While you don’t have to be on ‘schrooms to appreciate this awe inspiring experience, it doesn’t hurt! (It doesn’t, according to the two young gentlemen I encountered who claimed they’d been there for 4 hours. I did eventually see them leave right after me.)
You enter into a Wonka-wonky supermarket. Instinctively, I headed straight to the vegetable section. Hardwired good habits FTW! The first thing that caught my eye was the large pile of avocados… I headed over and picked one up. It crumbled in my hand. Empty. A coin purse! From there, I knew I was in for a fun, mind-bending, delightful and surprising adventure!
From there, of course, you’ll need to make sure you’re stocked on laundry detergent and other household goods.
And snacks! (And emergency clams! Because EVERYONE needs emergency clams!)
In the meat section, you start to get a sense things may soon start to go awry soon… As you slide past the plastic guards into a portal, a portal into another world…
To be continued…
