Wanted to take a little time to gather up info from the events of last night - apparently it was quite chaotic to find out clues and what not. Anyway, the event was in the nightclub which carried on like an ordinary night by accounts, though had a number of cool Lost touches to it. For instance, the Black Rock artwork was on the wall, there was a mock Swan hatch, a DHARMA logo. Twitter Hollywood Bob gives good coverage, and LostARGs have some good images.Anyway, who else was there but little Sterling Beaumon, who played young Ben Linus. He announced a new website called actuallyitsketchup.com
Go there and you see a piece of artwork. The first of many - turns out our 'clues' are artworks in commemoration of Lost. 200 of each print will be made available to purchase as a way of giving to the fans. $50 each giving.
Update - BPM magazine have some good pics from yesterday's event. Furthermore, as many of you have said - the art is now on sale so snap it up while you can!
It does sound like some kind of eventual picture-distributing event will come up, doesn't it? Curious...
ReplyDeleteMore random spaces in the text describing the picture, also...
I'm pretty sure you can buy it now, I just bought one, at least I hope I did.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I just bought one too. I wonder how often new ones will be brought out? I'd love to pick up one more, depending what the other designs look like.
ReplyDeleteDid the charge actually go through.
ReplyDeleteI am going to buy one too.
How do we know if they have run out?
I'm tempted to purchase one... but I have so many posters and prints in my room of Whedon-related stuff that I cannot possibly accommodate a Lost piece. If an amazing art piece turns up though I might be forced to buy...
ReplyDeleteWow. What a way to celebrate Lost with us: make us purchase stuff. Where these Good Samaritans come from, I have no idea. :)
ReplyDeletetestify good doctor
ReplyDeleteYo! McPhearson! Get on the Rewatch brutha!
ReplyDeleteI just ordered a poster, too ..... I was order #32 .... backwards it's order #23 ..... coincidence?
ReplyDeleteI just looked at my order, and I'm number 3. Not too shabby!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. I like it a lot but if I'm going to buy one, I want to see the other designs first. I hope there's a Jacob, Nemesis, Smoke Monster screen-print. That would be brilliant.
ReplyDeleteHow in the world does this qualify as an ARG? It's viral marketing and boring.
ReplyDeleteYou guys are not using your esteemed powers of observation & deduction - as well as one would expect. Has anybody looke at this piece of art?
ReplyDeleteHas nobody else seen the sandaled foot on Hurley's shirt - and cartoon indicators that would suggest that (Hurley) this might be the achilles heel?
guys, if you take the first half of each word that is split with an incorrect space, it's an anagram for Shit I Poop!
ReplyDeleteTo Faraday's Dad:
ReplyDeleteI actually got order 23 today... and I thought that might be something they were doing for everyone to make us feel special... thats for helping me sort that out!
*thanks
ReplyDeleteMy initial reaction to this "ARG" is that it is indeed stupid and this seems to be just another piece of marketing, as another pointed out above. Just because Darlton have appeared in this business doesn't mean it has anything to do with the content of Season 6, or the mysteries of the island. Lost's ratings have gone down, but the one way that ABC is able to make money is by milking the fans, counting on them to buy DVDs, replica Dharma jumpsuits, and other such crap.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I'm trying to look beyond that and see if there's anything going on here that is significant. One person mentioned the sandaled foot on Hurley's shirt. I don't think that is a reference to the statue - it's a reference to his mother hitting the curb when she gets out of Hurley's car, when they are about to see her new home, which happens to be on fire.
The only way I can see, now, this stuff having any bearing on the show is if art happens to play a big role in the final season. We have seen paintings of ships, dogs, and other island-related topics within the show. But this seems very doubtful.
Let's get back to the rewatch, shall we?
I tend to agree with Brian. This guy is so loud and, well, kind of annoying. I guess there's not much else to focus on right now...
ReplyDeleteThere are bunch of words with weird spaces between their letters at the bottom of the Hurley Poster page and elsewhere on Scheer’s site. How about making some anagrams out of the letters surrounding the spaces. The phrases are as follows:
ReplyDeleteby s taying in
long a s you’re
combine shippi ng costs
and ot her minor
nature o f this
project, here will (Missing ‘t’)
stasinthoft
I think the best one we get is “shift staton” – which made me think we’re missing some sort of clue about an “i” somewhere. So I started thinking homonym-style because “shift station” would be a pretty cool hidden clue – which is what I think may be going on with the Temple and travelling between two timelines/realities. Maybe our missing “i” comes from the LOST motif of the eye popping open. The eye snapping open and pupil dilating, could be a moment of season 6 where main characters shoot back into the correct timeline. Meg flies through Progonoskes’ eye countless times in L’Engle’s “A Wind in the Door.” And maybe we’re all nuts and just reaching for nonexistant clues…but that wouldn’t be any fun.
Then, I remembered the address bar for the Hurley poster – http://actuallyitsketchup.com/dcpb/I/. It has a random capital letter “I” latched onto the end of it for no apparent reason. What if that’s our final missing letter, completing the clue, and finally giving us “Shift Station.” Our cryptic answer to what may be going on in the Temple, or at least a place somewhere on the island our timeline jumpers need to visit in the first half of the Final Season. What do you think?
TEMPLE = SHIFT STATION
Tom,
ReplyDeleteTo add fuel to your fire: in the nightclub poster, there were three "e's" in THEEE Mike when it should be THEE MIKE. So, you have to put an "e" into the mix.
and an 'x'
ReplyDeletehttp://damoncarltonandapolarbear.com/dcpb/x/hub.html
and another 'i'
In the last blog post from damoncarltonandapolarbear.com, which I have saved, it links to
http://roniemidfewarts.com/i/
(which now redirects back to the main dcpb site).
I think you have something going here.
Just to recap the last three posts, the letters that stick out are:
ReplyDeletee, x, i, s, t, a, s, i, n, t, h, o, f, t
OR
existasinthoft
I see "exit" and "exist" in there. And, yes, there could be "station" and "shift," too. Then again, I can also see "taxi" and "host" and "shaft" and all kinds of words.
So, let's crack this anagram!
The "i" from actuallyitsketchup.com is a capital, all the other letters aren't. Does this mean it is the first letter of a sentence or is it supposed to be the Roman number 1?
ReplyDeleteMy guess is that it's the beginning of a word or sentence, but we're going to have to wait for more sites and clues before this anagram comes together and makes sense.
ReplyDeleteWhat do the speech bubbles on the picture say?
ReplyDeleteThere are close ups of the speech bubbles on lostARGs.com: http://www.lostargs.com/2009/08/special-delivery.html

About the anagram, Ian may be right that the capitol 'I' on actuallyitsketchup.com is a roman numeral 'one.' The site released yesterday has the address: http://thatandbasketweaving.com/dcpb/II/ - a roman numeral
'two.'
So separating the letters by where we found them we now have:
From spaces:
i, s, t, a, s, n, t, h, o, f
Missing letters:
t (in 'there')
From addresses:
i, x, I, II
Elsewhere:
E (from THEEE Mike)
