Lost Season Finale at the Bell House

For some time now, watching Lost has been this thing Nate and I do together, we usually see it online on Thursday, over a couple of beers, and then I geek out and go to the forums at TWOP and discuss all the logistical plot implications, specially the cause and effect of time travel (are they changing their own fate, or are they so intertwined in it that by actively choosing to interfere they inadvertently cause the very events they were trying to avoid? We will find out, I guess.) Point being that this was a private endeavor, not a social engagement.

But then it turns out that my new volleyball team has some fellow Losties. Enough, in fact, that we named our team "The Others" (they were the badasses, after all). And Kino suggested we go to a Lost Finale Watching Party in the Bell House, within walking distance of me.

This party went all out, Dharma cheese-puffs, Dharma Beer, leis for everyone, a Lost Cake. And for future reference, Dharma beer is stroooong.

We were delighted to see Previuosly on Lost, a local band whose mission is to recap previous Lost episodes through song. And they are a total musical powerhouse, the audience joined in a chorus of Waaaalt!!, and lyrics included gems such as Be my Constant, Sawyers snark, smoke monsters, and the like.

We then watched the two hour finalie on the big screen. It was distracting watching a show so intricate with so many people in standing room only, but the audience was engaged, and hooted and hollered at the exciting moments. My camera ran out of batteries early on the festivities, so I'm posting a link to Geekanerd Blog to capture more images of this awesome event.
