Autographed LOST Encyclopedia

I participated in the

Cancer Gets LOST auction

last fall. I bid on a lot of things and

was lucky enough to win 5 items.

The final item I won in the auction is an 

autographed LOST Encyclopedia.

Both the inside cover... 

...and title page are autographed by cast members,

and writers and producers of LOST.

The LOST Encyclopedia is near and dear to my heart.

I even created a blog to match up items in my LOST Collection

with the encyclopedia entries.

My Journey Through The LOST Encyclopedia

Jo Garfein and Jared Wong, 

the administrators and founders of Cancer Gets LOST, 

lugged a stack of the LOST Encyclopedia 

across multiple cities and states for the signings.

I couldn't be more grateful and appreciative!

  the entries...

I used Cancer Gets LOST signing photos when available.

Several of the entries are illustrated with segment videos 

from the Cancer Gets LOST podcast.

(This is probably is coolest-looking autograph of anyone

associated with LOST imho.)

last, but certainly not least.....

Bookplate signed by the authors of the LOST Encyclopedia

Tara Bennett and Paul Terry

I hold all of the individuals who signed my autographed

copy of The LOST Encyclopedia in high esteem and regard.

Their talent, creativity and vision contributed

to what I will always consider

THE BEST TELEVISION SHOW EVER!

***UPDATE***

My friends Jared Wong and Paul McQue 

were instrumental in my head-on-a-stick

aka HOST having photo op with

Nestor Carbonell at Walker Stalker Con 

in Chicago March 14, 2014.

Mr. Carbonell signed my LOST Encyclopedia 

as well. 

Journey Updates

Updates have begun!

Some of the entries have been updated already

 - see Blast Door Map for example.

(But mostly, I will be updating posts 

in alphabetical order.)

I participated in the Cancer Gets LOST auction 

and acquired some amazing and priceless

LOST treasures!!!

I have also acquired some really special

items from daily browsing of eBay listings,

the generosity of amazing friends,

and frequent Google searches

for all things LOST.  

And I have discovered a few items that I have

owned for some time, but neglected to include

in few of the original posts.

Soooo....

new stuff, old stuff, awesome stuff

LOST stuff

coming soon.

The Journey Continues

My journey through the LOST Encyclopedia

continues almost daily.

Now it leads back to wear it began, 

to the beginning of the book.

Tara Bennett sent me an autographed bookplate 

signed by her and Paul Terry.

It also includes an inscription.

I am beyond thrilled to have the signatures

of both authors of The LOST Encyclopedia

grace the inside cover. 

Thank you Tara and Paul for all of your hard

work and attention to detail.

Note: I knew Tara would be attending SDCC 2011,

and I hoped to meet her and have her sign

my LOST Encyclopedia. I carried the incredibly

heavy book around for two days until I got *smart*

and just put the dust cover in my backpack.

Unfortunately, due to scheduling conflicts

I never got to meet Tara in person. 

Next year.....

Moving On

The final page of The LOST Encyclopedia shows

Christian Shephard moving into the light.

 "fin" by M. Brady Clark is an 19 x 25 2 Color Serigraph,

 printed on #80 lb. French Paper Dur-O-Tone butcher extra blue stock. 

Closeup detail #1:

Closeup Detail #2:

My print is #2/50. It is more of a powder blue color

 in person than in the image on his site.

 I was compelled to purchase the final LOST cast photo.

"The Sanctuary" is an 10"x8" print of the cast in the sanctuary of the church

after their "awakenings" and reunion. It is a limited edition print of 815. 

My print is numbered 162/815. Mario Perez was the photographer. 

Below is closeup image of the photograph, and my framed copy.

This is the final entry in My Journey Through The LOST Encyclopedia.

But my journey is far from over. My collection is ever expanding and

evolving and I'm sure new items will be added to various entries

over the coming months and years.

LOST became so much more than just a television show to me.

It expanded my mind, stimulated my imagination, provided

introductions to an amazing group of people I am proud to call

my friends. So I cannot heed Christian Shephard's words.

I am never letting go.

 I am LOST forever.

Flash Sideways: Stained Glass Window

Zort70/Ian Knight, the administrator at LostArgs.com designed

a variation on the stained glass window from the Flash Sideways,

incorporating the numbers.

It is available on a number of items in his CafePress Store

as well as a screensaver download for the iPhone and iPad

I currently have the design as my lockscreen background.

and it is bound to show up on another item in

my LOST Collection. Stay tuned.

and surprise! Here is the design on the

window of The Barracks, the LOSTie house 

shared in San Diego for Comic Con 2011.

I have often mentioned the amazing people I have met
and lifelong friendships formed through LOST.

Ian Knight is one of those people.
He managed to surprise with with one of the
 most magnificent gifts that I have ever received.

Ian attended Collectormania in England on May 26, 2013
and posted a photo on Twitter of Henry Ian Cusick
holding up his LOST Numbers design print.
AWESOME!!!! I was so envious....

I was overwhelmed when the poster was 

delivered to me a few weeks later.

It was autographed to meeeeeeeee!!!
