Hidden Frames

DamonCarltonAndAPolarBear.com has been completely overhauled, now showing 16 picture frames, with the first of Paul, Damon, Carlton and Ronie Midfew (seen from only from behind). Clicking on it, or clicking on 'hub' takes you to your first hint... advertising Banana Split Sundaes - described as 'a house party... in a club!"

It looks like tonight's Sundae will contain some clue, and if you follow the poster to the MySpace page of the event and one of the organizers Steve Aoki, you see that all this stuff is completely real. The only real hint of a clue comes from The Mike B (one of the guests at the evening) on his Twitter page, saying "Special guest dj set from John Locke at Bardot tomorrow... Namaste." Cheers to LOST ARGs for the heads up on that one.

So though the new DCPB website says that the hints will take you to physical locations, or just other websites... it doesn't seem like there's anything on this first clue other than "attend the event" at Bardot, Vine Street, Hollywood - and look out for something special. A bit of a weird ARG start, but nonetheless cool - will anyone be going? There must be some cool and trendy Lost Internet ARG players who also let their hair down in nightclubs. Anyway, enough chat, I'm off to do work for my research project in the library.... oh crud.

Update - Am liking theories that they got the address wrong on the poster on purpose. The actual address I believe is 1735, but the poster says 1715... which apparently is where Judy Garland's Hollywood Walk of Fame star is... a mere gaff??? Quite probably, but as Michael Emerson said "I like the way you're thinking".

  1. Mhhh... But if you read on -Rules of the road- (at the bottom of damoncarltonpolarbear.com) you can see they wrote:
    "But, please keep in mind that you can participate right from your living room. Sometimes, it might even help not to go anywhere at all."

    So, I don't think it would be helpful to go to the party...
    On the Myspace page of Banana Split Sundaes, there are two e-mail addresses, and I wrote to both of them.
    - the first e-mail address is the free guest list of the party (and probably this will give us some information by mail)
    - the second e-mail address is for helping the group to get their flyers. Maybe this is real, but i wrote an e-mail also to them, saying that i'm interested.

    Also, I asked the BananaSplitSundaes to be added as friend on their Facebook page, just in case they will give some clues...

  2. Interesting choice of tune on the first video on the MySpace page....Music Sounds Better With You by Stardust - didn't the original video for that tune feature a kid playing with a toy aeroplane? Probably means nothing, but reminded me of Kate...

  3. Did anyone else notice that the address on the poster says 1715 N. Vine Street while the address on the myspace page (and the actual address of this venue) is 1735 N. Vine...may be nothing but it's got me wondering

    ReplyDelete
  4. Well the bar is not at that address but guess what is?
    The Hollywood Walk of Fame for Judy Garland 1715 Vine Street.
    Coincidence I think not. What do you guys think about this? With all the OZ references is LOST

    ReplyDelete
  5. Did anyone else notice that in the comments at the top of the page that there are some inadvertant spaces added in: s taying, and a s, much like our noted LA X?

  7. About the 1715/1735 ... 1+7=8 so the address would then be 815 , and if they're saying john Locke is a special guest dj then it would be John Locke @ 815 - idk just a thought

  9. The Judy Garland bit is most likely on purpose, given Lost's history with Wizard of Oz references. Although, it could just be a red herring.

  10. 1. If you go to Bardot website, and click on entertainment you will see picture frames similar to the ones on DCNPB.com.
    2. On the poster there are Dharma logos, the Flame, Swan, ect., but there is also a ? and one that is unidentifiable because there is a Big Ass Foot in the way. I think that it is just Generic Dharma Logo, but the ?probably means we will see a new Dharma Logo.

    Also just a side note most people like to post pictures of parties.

  12. I can not believe I found something.... I think... I was at DCNPB and I was looking at the poster and by accident I highlighted the picture (when you paint it like to copy it) In the three logos at the bottom the first one Says DM and now after painting it you can see what it stands for it says DSMMAK (the K you can see it in green) Im not sure it is DSM or DIM... I have no idea what this means but maybe you coudl do something with this...

    Here is the pic

  13. I just looked up in wikipedia DIM MAK since DSM MAK gave nothing and this si what came out:

    The Touch of Death refers to any martial arts move that can, supposedly, kill while using seemingly less than lethal force targeted at specific areas of the body. The term is due to Count Dante, a martial arts teacher and eccentric active in the 1960s to 1970s Chicago.

    It is also a record label (less exiting...)

  14. one more comment and thats all!!!
    I was takinga good look at the fisrt pic on DCNPB and you can see some paintings behind them... the ones behind paul an damon is one of sawyer with his glasses reading on the beach... remember?!? that he was reading some sort of manuscript?? (back in season 1!!!) and then we have the one of the polar bear with Damon and carlton. There are 3 more smaller paintings that I can not recognize... can anyone maybe work a bit the resolution of the pic?! it is so tiny!!!! Just that!

    ReplyDelete
  15. It's Dimmak - http://home.dimmak.com/blog/ - you can see the poster for the gig there...

    ReplyDelete
  16. The actual address for Bardot is 1737 N. Vine.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Doesn't anybody notice the configuration of the picture. First I thought it might be 'just a promotional picture' from somewhere (as if such things exist with Lost). But then it would be a kind of odd when someone has it's back turned to the camera.
    So, four guys with their hands to eachother, one guy making an OK-sign (or something), one guy with his back turned to the camera. Looks a bit weird to me, and weird usually means something.
    Can't wait what the other pictures will bring!

  18. There's a better quality photo of the first pic @ http://www.docarzt.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/partnership1.jpg

    ReplyDelete
  19. I'm more intrigued by the "Fools Gold" bar near the bottom right of the poster. Everything else is green and black...this is the only thing that has its own color.

    ReplyDelete
  20. the pic above saywer's painting is blur on purpose, it has some sort of saying... and we can see that the first person on the left is carlton, then someone, then damon and then someone... could this be the same 4 people standing in the pic?!?! and whst does it say!?!?

    The first word is "what"... also on that pic there is a 15 like standing out in the pic, next to the hands...

    Yes this pic looks like a message but I cant not desifer(misspell?!?!) it!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  21. Fool's gold is another band I think... I found the logo on google... quite small if they were advertising it no!?

  22. There’s a baseball bat behind Damon and the picture behind Carlton says (LOTS) ???

    ReplyDelete
  23. The picture above Sawyer is of Damon, Carlton, JJ and Stephn King from EW.

    ReplyDelete
  24. I know Damon is a Yankees Fan and Carlton is a RedSox fan so they are baseball fans and keep the bat there. I have heard that writers love to use objects to get the writing juices flowing.

  25. When Stephen King meets the lost boys

  26. I know this isn't new, but I am wondering if anyone has any theories about why the W's are capitalized in "15 Will be lost. The 16th Will be found"

    My only guess is that it's a name...

    ReplyDelete
  27. Anyone going to the Banana Split Sundaes show tonight?

    ReplyDelete
  28. It is apparent that the number 15 is important if you look between Carlton Cuse's arm and RM's arm you see the number 15, if one of the themes 15 will be lost 16 will be found and the poster list the address as 1715 which is wrong then what is on 1716.

    ReplyDelete
  29. So I followed up on my theory and google mapped it. three main attractions came up one of them the the Hollywood/Vine (LACMTA) station. A station with an Island platform. Coincidence, who knows. I will get back to you guys when I find out more.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Mike B great find not sure but could be. I found that Judy Garland's Star was at 1715 Vine could be anything you guys know DARLTON

    ReplyDelete
  31. the 15 is on one of a couple of seats from the Field Level of Dodger Stadium, after they removed all the existing seats in a 2005-2006 renovation. I'm guessing the other chair is 16.

    Nice touch in the photo to have the 15 shown like that.

    ReplyDelete
  32. The Description of the station mentioned a Yellow Brick Road.

    ReplyDelete
  33. This is an interesting picture from a web site affiliated with Bardot it is titled ABC.

    ReplyDelete
  34. just as a note, the "LOTS" picture is a "parody" picture taken out of a magazine (though I can't remember if it's Rolling Stone, MAD, or something else)--I remember seeing it when I was browsing through whatever magazine quite a while ago.

    It's called "LOTS" because of the insane amount of characters the show had/has, and it has a bunch of speech bubbles with the characters talking about themselves or the show and what not in a satirical manner.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Just wanted to point this out maybe its coincidence but I thought I would bring it up since this is all about season 6. Season 1 in the Pilot Kate asks Jack where he learned to work a transceiver Jack said he took a couple of flying lessons. Kate also wondered if she knew Charlie from somewhere Charlie said it was from Drive Shaft Kate said she had a friend who like Drive Shaft, Kate has been on the run for quite some time.

  36. Totally out of topic... but I was just watching AXN (channel that transmits LOST in southamerica) and they said that the items hurley gets back when he is released from prison are the same objects that jacob gave sawyer, kate and jack... the pen for sawyer, the money to pay for kate's theft and the nutrition bar for jack... he also left hugo the guitar case and other stuff... so, did he carry something from everyone?!?!?! weird huh?! did you know this?!
