I always feel weird doing "self promo" on here as opposed to instagram (the natural habitat of self promo and brand deals and etc) especially because I have no sneak peeks to show (just this instagramly graphic design card) BUT I figured I'd feel even worse if any local people who wanted to go to this only found out about it after the fact SO: I'm a designer in this fashion show (again! woohoo!) and it's happening exactly a week from now in DENVER and you can BUY TICKETS if you want to go!!!! but I promise if you can't or don't want to go you will also see the piece I've made for it as soon as I can show it to you I just legally cannot yet but i CAN tell you I giggled villainously upon seeing the entire thing assembled and I'm quite proud of it. so there's that.

For those who don't know, Meow Wolf, an interactive Art Collective has just laid off 10% of it's company and man power. Most of these layoffs were hourly workers already working with stripped hours, bare bones crews, and wages that still made it hard to live in the cities their exhibits lay in, all while going against the union contracts many of these workers were apart of.
Meo wolf has had a history of going against the union and making calls that go against the contracts their LLCs have established. The workers of Meow Wolf deserve better than the union busting company they work for. I should know, I was one of the worker who were laid off.

A walk on the multiversal side
There are three Meow Wolf immersive-art installations in various U.S. cities.
If you ask somebody who has seen one to describe it, the answer is likely to go something like, “Well ... um ... er ... uh ...”
After my personal immersion in Denver’s Convergence Station, the newest and biggest Meow Wolf permanent exhibition, I would describe it as Mad Max meets Disney, meets Dr. Seuss.
First, don’t look for a deep meaning in the “Meow Wolf” label. The founders describe the derivation of the phrase this way:
“At the first meeting of the collective in 2008, everyone present put two words into a hat. We then picked two random words out of the hat and got “Meow Wolf” ....
The website calls Convergence Station “the first multiversal transit station serving Earth ....(where visitors) commute via the Quantum Department of Transportation to the Convergence, a bustling city created by a rare cosmic event that joined four alien worlds.
“ .... Travelers can venture out into four floors of surreality featuring Meow Wolf’s most epic art to date. If you’ve ever wanted to wax heroic at the crossroads of a real life sci-fi neutopia, this is the space-time for you.”
Got it ...? Of course not. If you get the chance, check it out for yourself.

I just ran through the posts for the MeowWolf tag and it is shockingly little stuff. Like okay, I get that it's a geography based thing, but holy shit even then more people should be talking about these places.
They have multiple locations (Denver, Santa Fe, Las Vegas) with more in the works and features some of the coolest, trippiest, mind blowing interactive art I've ever seen. So if you are anywhere near one of these make the time to see it.
I don't know where most of you are based, so @gallusrostromegalus is getting called out as definitely based on The Front Range. You should take a gaggle of your quilting crew for a field trip at Convergence Station. I'd pay for the commentary out of such a trip.
