(Justin’s Recap)

As soon as we got back from Portland we jumped back in the car and headed to the grocery store to grab some items for a LOST finale party! Davey and Kristen didn’t watch the show, but had some friends that did. Their friends had rented out a theater to watch the finale and were nice enough to let us join them!

We are huge fans and thought it would be a lot more fun to go to a party than sit at home and watch it on our TV. Plus, we got to meet some new people in the process which is something we’ve begun to enjoy a lot more since starting this trip. We got there and they had some awesome LOST themed food and decorations. In case you don’t watch the show, the labels are from something in the show called the DHARMA initiative.

Awesome cupcakes and "canned foods".

The fellow "Losties".

The people there were really nice and we enjoyed getting to know them a bit before the 4.5 hour event started. One guy was a magician so, of course, Jennifer made the guy do some tricks for her. He did a trick where Jennifer just thought of a random card and then thought of a number between 20 and 30. Jennifer picked a card and then 26. She turned over 25 cards and then the 26 was the card she had picked. I was pretty amazed and I’m typically skeptical about a lot of magic.

Even the water bottles had themed labels!

The theater was at an Audio/Video place and they rent it out to showcase their technology and ability. We talked to the guy who ran it for a bit and it turns out the theater takes a cool half million to build. The chairs reclined and there was surround sound and an HD projector. It was a pretty nice setup and one I might like to have in a house one day, albeit a cheaper version.

The theater.

The $500,000 theater. Incredible.

My gorgeous wife about to watch Lost.

All in all, it was a really fun way to watch the finale of one of our favorite shows. We were a bit disappointed in the conclusion of the show, but the facility and company couldn’t have been any better. So, if you know a random group of people that are into the things we like don’t be afraid to invite us. We might just show up and have a good time!
