I am planning to have a LOST series finale(sniff, sniff)party with just me & my husband. One thing I think would be cool is to make t-shirts with some kind of LOST logo on the front. I printed out a photo of Charlie & Claire(my mom's absolute fave!)& put it on a shirt for her & she was so thrilled! It's really easy. You just print it out with the 'mirror image' setting on your photo software(I have Picasa3)& print it off onto transfer paper for clothing. Easy. May do something like that with labels for glasses. Too bad some website didn't sell Oceanic Airlines logo glasses. You know, those little glasses they give you your soft drinks in on the plane? I think somewhere would sell those. Plain glasses. ANYway, to Bobbie~how about a 'survival kit' for the winner? You could put a needle & thread mending kit(Pilot~Kate sewing Jack up), a can of beer with the Dharma Logo on it, reminder note to push the buttons~ with the numbers on it, bottle with some messages in it, etc. Stuff like that! Just an idea! Oh, yeah! Also, a little baggie of faux heroin~nooooo, not the real stuff, just some raw sugar to LOOK like the real thing. Just some things that make you think of LOST. I can't believe the season premiere is on January 31! That is my little granddaughters' 2nd birthday! I guess we can spend the day with her & come home in time to watch it. She IS more important than any show. I CAN record it, but it seems to lose something if you watch the recording. But, if it doesn't come on til 7pm or 8pm, we are fine. Aloha & have a blast with all those parties!!! I am so happy to have found this site! I am planning to have a LOST series finale(sniff, sniff)party with just me & my husband.

We're all dressing up as a character and birthday boy has to guess who we are. Also, we're doing a character/quote matching game. Haven't figured out what we'll do as a prize for the winner, but we'll see. We're throwing a surprise bday party...LOST style.

Reminds me of the old days, playing "Hi Bob!" while watching the Bob Newhart Show; every time someone says "Hi Bob!" everyone takes a swig. I was pretty much a Lost devotee through the second season, but totally lost (no pun intended) interest in the third. Things were weird the first two seasons, but they got downright bizarre in the third, then went downhill from there. I'll likely watch a few episodes this season to see what's up, but after seeing the teasers I don't hold out much hope for the show. Cassie's drinking game is great!

I'm having a whole whack of people over on the Thursday to watch. I'm really digging the cupcake idea and might go with that. We also do a drinking game, which is the best way to watch Lost (but only with episodes you've seen before, otherwise you get too caught up in the show and forget about the game!) We usually get a flate of beer (or cola if it's a weeknight) and everyone takes one can/bottle when the show starts. Whenever something happens, you take a sip/gulp/chug. For example: Saywer calls someone by a nickname = One sip Jin speaks English = one sip Hurley says dude/Desmond says "Brutha" = one sip Jack cries = one big gulp Kate flip flops between Jack and Sawyer = one big gulp Scene with a montage = everyone shout "MONTAGE!!" and chug until the music/slow motion stops etc. etc. The list can go on and on, but it's best if you have a smaller one so everyone knows what to look for. It's really a fun game and gets everyone into the spirit for the new episode. Awesome Ideas! I'm having a whole whack of people over on the Thursday to watch.

It's would be easy to trace the logo on a large sheet of paper and have it look great. I've done this with coloring book images and it turns out great!

I've never even seen 1 episode. But this sounds like a lot of fun. My friends and I would do similar things when we watched The Sopranos, especially the last two seasons when our "family" expanded. "These Sunday dinners are important, Janice!" The season premiere would be an italian pot luck with someone brining the chicken parm, someone with the fried eggplant, and so on. Then each week thereafter 1 person or a tag-team would make there signature italian dish for the rest to enjoy. Of course now that the show has ended we don't get together that often. Maybe I could have a 24 party and just yell "Holster your weapon!" at everyone as they walk through my CTU/Living room. I hope you and your company have a lot of fun with LOST.
