This is kinda old news, but if you haven't heard, Target has been selling a lot of Domo products. At first, they were selling Domo notebooks, folders, and binders. And if you've gone into a Target lately, then you've seen all the Domo-related Halloween gear.

I have to say, though... while I love seeing Domo getting some mainstream recognition, I also can't help but feel a little sad. Domo used to be like, a little secret that only we knew about. But now, Domo is just everywhere. There's too much
Domo stuff. It's like having your favorite local band that nobody's heard about make it big and selling out. It's like having a hobby that everyone thought was weird, until it became trendy, and then everybody treats you like you're just a trend whore. I know that you guys know that Domo and I have been tight for years now, and I know I shouldn't care if everybody (erroneously) thinks I'm a trend whore. But I still care. A little. I mean, who likes to be called "trendy?"
I feel a little better knowing that I'm not the only person who's a bit sad about Domo's newfound mainstream fame... I see that
other people feel this way, too.
Of course, I still had to get some of the new, costumed Domos (OK, so really, Joelle got them for me. Thanks
Joelle!). Hey, they're cute, and I couldn't resist. They're Domos!
The one in the pumpkin costume, I named "Gordo." You know, pumpkin. Gourd. Gourd-o. You get it.
And the one in the devil costume has been named "Diablo." Mostly because I wanted to stay consistent with all of my Domos' names ending on "o."
But don't worry...
Domo is and always will be my #1 Domo, even when he goes into retirement.
Anyways... so, while I'm sad that "the secret's out," I can at least be happy that more people get to enjoy Domo. And his infectious smile.
Rawr.

I had a feeling you wouldn't be thrilled with the overdose (overdomo?) of Domo. At first they snuck him in behind the candy corn display and then I went back a week later and there was Domo everywhere.
I still think of you every time though.

I think this is just Domo's 15 minutes and he'll go back to being your weird hobby. Hahaha

That IS sad/messed up... but canʻt blame the little guy for being so darned cute.

What do you mean by WHEN DOMO GOES INTO RETIREMENT?! You better say that ain't so! Domo and I also go way back! (Oddly, the picture of me with Domo, as well as another Domo pic popped up in your random Flickr thumbnail thing at the top.)

A few things:
1) Domo must not go into retirement.
2) It's okay that Domo has become mainstream. The more Domo, the better our world will be.
3) Joelle's reference to an "overdomo" is the funniest comment I have seen on a blog in a long time. Hilarious.

Totally agree that they're going overboard. I think I stopped in my tracks for a full 60 seconds when I first saw the candy displays while I did a mental reboot.
But then I bought the gummy teeth. =D

Hey, I'm late to it, too. But my excuse is our Target just (re)opened about 10 days ago. I walked in and saw them and immediately thought of you.
