@Loster21's Tweets O' Comic Con and the Rest O' the Month, from July 17-31, 2010

SPOC - Sweet! #Lost is on tonight. Oh wait, I'm having a flashback. 9:25 AM Jul 20th

WAH!

Sorry for the hiatus, this Loster was at Comic Con last week!  I’ve included a tiny bit of reporting about it in response to some of the tweets.  Below the Comic Con-related tweets is some BREAKING LOST news (no pun intended – you’ll see).  Remember, tweets from the cast and production of LOST are in red.  The list of their roles in production, as well as current work and Twitter names, can be found here.  They were very busy on Twitter over the last two weeks, as you’ll see:

DamonLindelof - I have decided that when I hit 75,000 followers, I will finally love myself. 11:17 AM Jul 17th

DamonLindelof - Oh. And when I hit 75,001 followers, I can start hating myself again. 11:18 AM Jul 17th

Well, he’s at almost 80,000 now, so I wonder…

There was a lot of discussion of the film Inception over the past couple of weeks, and how it compares with and contrasts from LOST:

hawaii – … Yes, but really, what story wouldn't be made better with Giacchino? 4:07 PM Jul 17th

DamonLindelof - I wish that someone would break into my dreams and give me an idea HALF as good as INCEPTION. 9:32 PM Jul 17th

And he could call it… “LOST” and it could be a series and it might even be BETTER than INCEPTION…

If you’ve seen the movie, this will make sense.  If you haven’t, then go see it, and then read this again:

DamonLindelof - There is a THIRD possibility -- It neither stopped... nor kept spinning. The story ended before either could happen. Discuss. 2:38 PM Jul 19th

AdamHorowitzLA - @damonlindelof is currently twirling. If he falls over it means he's still on Undressed. 4:25 PM Jul 19th

As most everyone knows, Comic Con was last week, and it was the topic of a lot of tweets about LOST and from former LOST production people tweeting about their current projects:

LostBoneyBoot - It seems odd that there is soon to be ComicCon but no #Lost panels. 1:08 AM Jul 18th

danieldaekim - If you're at Comic-Con, come say hi to Grace Park and me at the #H50 panel. Fri, 7/23 @ 10:15am, room 6BCF. G'head, ask us anything. ; ) 9:23 AM Jul 20th

danieldaekim - About to go onstage for the panel. The small talk as we wait? To tweet, or not to tweet. It's not even a question. ; ) #H50 10:20 AM Jul 23rd

It was one of my favorite panels, and @danieldaekim gave some wonderful responses to questions about LOST.  His favorite episode to work on?  Season 1 finale, with the raft leaving the island.  Tidbits about the finale?  They didn’t know how it would all end until they watched it, and the church scene was the last scene they all filmed together. 

DamonLindelof - Missing my first Con in twelve years. Wearing my Lobot costume around the house just isn't the same. 12:58 PM Jul 20th

AdamHorowitzLA - writing writing writing writing... then -- comitron 3:40 PM Jul 20th

#comitron is the hashtag they asked us to use when tweeting about the Tron panel at Comic Con.  To be safe, I tweeted #Comitron #sdcc AND #Tron throughout.  It was a great panel, and I have high hopes for the film with the famed Kissowitz writing team behind it.

mjgoldman - Hey Comic-con groupies -- is it fun? Wish I was there - esp. at Whedon/Abrams panel to thank them both for hiring me: 2 freaky-geniuses. 11:54 PM Jul 20th

mjgoldman - Seriously, I've been in a room with just 1 of them & shook my head in wonder at the brilliance. Both in one room? Beyond comprehension. 11:57 PM Jul 20th

It was the best panel I attended, and was the one I was devastated to see end!  They were full of insights and great backstories.  My favorite quote of the panel was JJ's about the LOST finale: "Damon and Carlton kicked incredible ass"

  DamonLindelof - My body is in Starbucks on Sunset. My heart is in Hall H. 9:55 AM Jul 22nd

I tweeted him that I was saving a seat for him, but I never heard back…

NathanFillion - I don't get to Comicon till tomorrow, and I've already got geeksweats! 10:16 AM Jul 22nd

While I was in line for my first panel of the Con, a few of my friends were hoping that I’d pick up some swag for them, using Ben as a role model:

LOST_boss - @growlf it's the same way we get her to do anything, we find out what @Loster21 is emotionally invested in, and exploit it! #sdcc #guruben 8:54 AM Jul 22nd in reply to growlf

mike_schaub - ATTENTION: If you're at Comicon and not at the Tron Panel right now, I'm not sure we can be friends anymore. #flynnlives #tron #sdcc 10:18 AM Jul 22nd

But he wasn’t there, so hmmm…

JOvsZ - Dear World, Please excuse the angry nerd in me. I'm not at the con so therefore I will judge all articles, blogs, and tweets. XOXO, Josie 11:07 AM Jul 22nd

SterlingBeau - Down in San Diego for Comic-Con today! Come out tomorrow and see me at Booth 3849 3:00 PM Jul 22nd

iansomerhalder - Just wrapped episode 1 of season two- San Diego here we come. Beware... 3:16 PM Jul 22nd

NathanFillion - Valhalla! http://yfrog.com/mkudqj 12:32 PM Jul 23rd

NathanFillion - Signing autos at CA Browncoat booth right now. A7A8. 2:49 PM Jul 23rd

Oh right, besides being famous for playing Kate’s husband Kevin, Nathan Fillion was in a show before his LOST episode, and another since his LOST episode ;)

corybarker – #LOST nerds unite: Saw Eddie Kitsis and Adam Horowitz outside the Convention Center today, just walking -- I was psyched. #SDCC 10:44 PM Jul 23rd

NoreenOT - Line for the LOST Encyclopedia panel... http://tweetphoto.com/34736859 5:48 PM Jul 24th via ÜberTwitter

There was such a big crowd that they had to cut off the line 30 minutes before the panel started.  And what a great panel it was!  The encyclopedia is an officially licensed LOST product, made with the full cooperation and assistance of LOST production.  All information included will be canon, and many bits of information will be illuminated for the first time.  I  CAN’T  WAIT!!! 

Colleen84 - Jo, sterling and jay are the new Jonas Brothers. @jopinionated, @sterlingbeau, @lukevenk http://twitpic.com/28eedq 7:17 PM Jul 24th

bexmader - Should I return to my reheadedness or stay blonde? 11:06 PM Jul 28th

cbfromla - @bexmader I vote for blonde, but that's because I've seen hours of your dailies in LOST post production as a redhead. Blonde = more fun??? 12:39 AM Jul 29th in reply to bexmader

mike_schaub - It appears I may have to exercise some old blogging muscles soon. #H50 2:58 PM Jul 30th

ThroughTheVoid - I just had another "Oh my God... #Lost is over..." moment.

penfactor - Love it that LOSTIES are still so in tune

ITveee - Sigh. When does #Lost come back? Oh... right. #itstillhasntsunkin

hennybottle - i hope #LOST fever picks back up once the DVDs come out .. and I hope they sell out of every store. people should give it as a gift.

My favorite tweet-exchange of the month:

moryan - "We don't want to end up on a show that drives people crazy," Laura Innes on #TheEvent (fall NBC show). I liked pilot, btw. #TCA #NBC 9:22 AM Jul 30th

And my vote for LOST-related link of the month:

jopinionated - Polar bear in a Dharma jumpsuit. On the sidewalk. Playing a Giacchino #Lost score on the accordion. WIN! http://tinyurl.com/2d8wy7b

How sick is it that even on an accordion that song can make me tear up?

Thanks all for your patience in waiting for this latest, expanded edition of Tweets O’ the Week!  Hopefully I’ll be back on a more weekly schedule for a while, especially as we approach the August 24th US release date for Season 6 on BluRay and DVD!  Enjoy August, and Namaste ~
