yep, I will for sure Chris. I'm sure all this anxiety will be gone later and then I will feel silly for worrying so much. I have the worry gene lol

ChrisL said...

Having kids installs that gene!

@illix - interesting thought about the statues being two different colors. Fits in nicely with the Season 6 chess board video on YouTube.

So, there's got to be something to this because the dates are consecutive....right?

Unknown said...

Nothing is a coincidence in Lost I guess. There are a lot of things that I can think of to do with Lost that link with Chess. MacCutcheon is an opening move in chess, Locke played chess on the computer in the Flame, Jack and Ben play chess in that episode that missing pieces episode. There's the light and dark which is reflected in the art and science conflict in the Linder Gallery…

I've just got an idea that the site is out there somewhere, waiting for us to find it. Maybe the buy now button is already live. That's why Paul said it might be earlier, the same day or later.

Needle in a haystack anyone?

thorsten said...

Just got off the phone with Trinty in Dublin. Michael John Gorman is out of the country, but will get back to me asap. Maybe he will come up with something ;))

Unknown said...

Michael John Twittered:

Great line-up for IGNITE Dublin #2 @ScienceGallery tomorrow night including vocal performance by Caitriona O'Leary: http://bit.ly/6su18d

http://www.sciencegallery.com/events/2009/12/ignite

An event? Surely not?

ChrisL said...

mistertibbs. Oh why oh why did you say that the buy now button might be out there waiting! I have work I MUST do today!

ChrisL said...

That would make perfect sense though. We already have the clues and there will be nothing more on the hub.

Unknown said...

Sorry Chris, I'm paranoid!

ChrisL said...

It's a great thought though. I love that idea and it fits with everything, the 15 lost 16th found, the fact that the Gallery event is up on the hub with no hint of anything else to come there, the interview with Paul yesterday and his hints that we'd missed something. maybe he did mean in relation to this last reveal and not relating to season 6. I've been over and over that video from spin and I keep coming back to the Linder painting.

thorsten said...

jeeze, tibbs. My blood pressure!

Unknown said...

Sorry Thorsten!
I did a reverse I.P. check on the site this morning, I saw that there were 34 sites, not the usual 33. There's nothing extra there, so if the site is live it's on another server. But seeing that number change nearly made me croak on the spot!

ChrisL said...

I just received The Barracks. I remain utterly convinced. I love it.

Lisa-Maladylis said...

Glad to see someone else likes the Barracks as much as I do @ Chris :-)

Brendan said...

>>This is the clue, no doubt. Just have to figure out what it means!

Good Morinig All

There was some questiion last night if the audio in the Spin video and the actual episode were different. I checked and they are the same.

I think ObFuSc8 was right to get excited about the Linder Gallery Interior Painting, especially with the Latin phrase and it's translation.

IWish said...

@Brendan

I think so too. Thanks for responding...hope we can build on this clue and figure it out. I'm not getting much reponse posting elsewhere and thought I'd mention it here.

Gotta' go now...work, blech. Will check in later. Cheers!

ChrisL said...

@seaque. Keep it here. When everyone gets going later we'll have some fine minds on the case.

@Brendan, I agree. The Linder and the latin seems to be the key.

But what of the missing letters and the other 'mistakes'?

Amy Lynn said...

@ChrisL, I like the Barracks too, but really would have preferred to see 815 breaking up overhead.

thorsten said...

I just entered Jos contest. I hope she will not figure out that I am not canadian!

ChrisL said...

Amy Lynn, Agreed, it would have been a very dramatic addition, but I quite like the fact that only WE know what just happened ;-)

thorsten said...

Amy, this is the barracks from Timeline B.

Amy Lynn said...

@thorsten... is that party of the many worlds theory? #flashforward

thorsten said...

yep. post jughead incident. No 815 breakup ;))

ChrisL said...

Nice one thorsten.

Brendan said...

@seaque

LOL, I don't know why people seem to be ignoring it!

Repeat!

Drama said...

I'm beginning to think that the mis-spellings and missing letters aren't deliberate. Paul refers to Ronnie Midfew as "Ronnie Mifdew" constantly, and trips over his words in an excited fashion. Whoever is updating the site may be just doing it "in keeping" with paul's character.
I'd hope that we would get another clue soon. When do people think we are going to solve it?

Iteration 7294531 hey, Brendan, why don't you start to interpret the available information, instead of repeating it?

Iteration 7294532 hey, Brendan, why don't you start to interpret the available information, instead of repeating it?

ChrisL said...

Ben, I'm beginning to think that we've had all of the clues we're going to get and now it's entirely up to us.

Brendan said...

Hey Thorsten, I'm working on it but wanted to reiterate to people that may have missed it and continue to speculate one other less promising leads. I appreciate the question though.

ChrisL said...

Ben. Is Paul Alexandra Miller? In which case I can imagine the missing letters and words to be his typical over excited trip-ups.

Doesn't explain why other mistakes have been speedily corrected though.

RobPerrin said...

ChrisL & Lisa - I too like The Barracks. Not in my top 3 but it's not too far down the list.

ChrisL said...

Rob, good to hear. I already liked it online but when I unrolled the real thing for the first time today it was a WOW moment.

Max Headroom said...

The Barracks has really grown on me and the Dharma Van too. Now I wish I had picked it up when it was easy! Drat!

RobPerrin said...

mistertibbs - I have The Barracks and the only thing I notice is the pattern made by sunlight on the hillside. Looks like the lighter portions form a 'D' and an 'n'. It is fairly obvious, though, so more than likely not a hidden message.

Tess315 said...

Are you guy pursuing The Linder Gallery Interior painting as a clue to the url or to season 6?

I love my Dharma Van print. I have it under uv glass and I don't think it looks gray. It may be a little muted charcoal may be a better color reference. I think it look great. Just my opinion.

Brendan said...

@ Sayid'sgirl

Given the twitter exchange between Damon and the Linder Gallery guy and the paintings presence in the Ping Pong video, I'd say the latin phrase is almost certainly the huge clue Paul was referring too.

Amy Lynn said...

To the tune of "Love and Marriage" (or, the theme song to Married, With Children)

Damon, Carlton, Damon, Carlton
Won’t you tell me what’s in store for Darlton?
Better start revealing, you must be tired of concealing!

Damon, Carlton, Damon, Carlton,
Is the clue in Latin or bizarrle-ton?
Ping pong balls are spinning, is this the end or the beginning?

Fly, fly, fly to California
Pull some all-nighters
fly, fly, fly and wait on line to see
and meet the writers

Damon, Carlton, Damon, Carlton
please don’t make be all mad and snarl-ton
Is the game now ending?
Perhaps it must
Or is it just
Until next summer just suspending?

Attorney Greg said...

maybe "others see it otherwise" is an anagram? Gives about 4 bazzillion choices though.

Or is what you apply that shift cipoher to some of you have mentioned?

ChrisL said...

Sayid'sgirl, I hope it's the pursuance of the URL as that's where my head is! Particularly since mistertibbs post earlier.

I too have my Dharma Van under uv glass and it looks stunning. It just needs the right light on it and it's so vibrant.

Capcom said...

Before I finish reading all of the comments, our prayers for your son and our sympathies for your ex-situation are with you, Lisa! XO!

ChrisL said...

Amy does it again! That tune's going to bug me for the rest of the day.

ChrisL said...

When Paul said "Thanks for having me and remember you missed one big clue..It involves Ping Pong" he had to have been talking about the ARG. Why would he be giving clues about season 6. Not his job. Most of the questions were about the ARG, it must have been related to 16.

Tess315 said...

Bendan
I agree it's probably the huge clue, but I was thinking it was a clue to season 6 not the next url. But I could be wrong.

ChrisL
I find the Hatch print is hard to light to bring out the wonderful background. You wouldn't happen to have that one too and can give me a tip on lighting it?

Brendan said...

Its has to be a clue to the URL. I haven't seen any reason to equate anything Scheer says with anything other then the ARG. No?

Drama said...

well, I'm stumped. I've looked up (and tried as URLs) most of the Latin incidences from the show.. such as the answer to what lies in the shadow of the statue. I haven't tried all the notations off the blast door map, but I think that's reaching at straws.

Plus, once we work it out, there's no guarantee that the purchase will be "live" yet. This is KILLING ME!

Amy Lynn said...

Perhaps they're waiting for the first buyer letter to show up before giving us another clue?

RobPerrin said...

thorsten - just emailed my photo for the LostARG posters' poster. Cheers!

Tess315 said...

Bendan and ChrisL
Agreed Paul probably isn't giving out season 6 clues. Maybe. :)

This is from the Washington Post transcript.

Madison, TN: Hey Paul, the invite to the LOST Art show (that you can see on www.damoncarltonandapolarbear.com) says we will see "all 16 POSTERS in one room". So nyah, doesn't that mean the last piece of art is another poster?
What have you and Ronie thought about the -really- fast recent poster sell-outs? Are you still sure people who attend the art show will have the same chance as anyone else to get the last poster?
What 'clues' should we follow, other than to attend the Art show in about two weeks?
Thanks again!
Paul Scheer: Everyone will be able to get the last piece like always

Going to show doesn't preclude you from getting one.

There is a huge clue that everyone missed! About this season


Why does he say this season? When I read this I wasn't sure if he was talking about season 3 which is where the ping pong game is from 3:11 Enter 77 and the season the WP chat was about. Or did he mean this season as in 5 or maybe 6?

That's what made me think a season clue not a url clue.
I have heard there is going to be season 6 clues in Lost U. But that's probably just rumor.

ChrisL said...

thorsten, is there a way we are going to be able to know who is who on the poster do you think? (not that I'm suggesting you go to any more trouble than you already are). It would be so good to put faces to all of the names.

Capcom said...

That's what it seems like to me too Sayidsgirl...albeit in TPTB's usual vague fashion. But he does say "season" though.

ChrisL said...

Sayid'sgirl, could he have been referring to the ARG? as in, this seasons ARG?

Capcom said...

Maybe we can have a labelled version on the front page after the event. :-)

RobPerrin said...

Like Sergeant Pepper. Lonely ARGsclub Band.

Tess315 said...

ChrisL
That's possible.

ChrisL said...

lol @ Rob.

Unknown said...

@mistertibbs- I don't think the buy now link is live yet. I did a web search using the disclaimer at the bottom of the buy now pages and found all 15 prints that have been sold, but not the elusive 16th print.

If anyone can do a more in depth search using the common wording, please do so and let us know what you find.

Tess315 said...

Rob
Yeah I like that. My son has that poster. You can look at it forever.

Capcom said...

It doesn't make much sense to me that Paul would be hinting about S6, but it is intriguing. And it makes more sense that if there is a gallery show coming up, that the gallery painting might refer to the poster gallery show. So why he said 'season' is very confusing. He could have also meant 'hiatus' when he said 'season', who knows. Oy.

ChrisL said...

Capcom, that's true. He's only a man after all! there's no way that he could have been totally prepped for every question and have every answer mapped out in his head. He could easily have said season in place of meaning several things. I really think his clue was for us here.

Capcom said...

ChrisL, I'm not touching that (the man thing) with a ten-foot-pole, there's too many guys here! X-D

Just Thinking said...

Except that the stills in the video do seem to have to do with season 6, not the ARG- and it is from one of them.

ChrisL said...

Capcom, and I am indeed one. What I meant, what I should have said of course was He's only human after all!

Capcom said...

LOL.

ChrisL said...

Just Thinking, good point. We have seen Jacob's Dog and The Black Rock painting previously though. And the video was an ARG reveal rather than a season 6 preview per se.

Zort70 said...

Don't forget Paul gave us a big Season 6 clue at the start, the title of the first episode.

Zort70 said...

Ok, NEW POST

thorsten said...

@Brendan… I was just kidding ;))


@ChrisL… I was asked by some folks not to put names on it. We could use twitter handles, though…
Lets see how this works out after all the pix are in…

I'm back from the doctors. Alot more relaxed now that it's all done over with. He had to have his blood drawn to see if he's having worse problems that is visible to the eye and to see if maybe his white blood count is up. He was so upset when they took his blood lol Poor guy. The doc will call later with the results. Thanks for the positive thoughts and prayers. I was really getting my self all worked up.

Dr Mum said...

I am wondering if the reference to Latin may hint at latin numerals rather than letters?
Sorry about vagueness of comment . . been in land with no internet and mucho commentary to wade through
