The Vilacek Foundation Celebrates 'LOST'


This passed weekend, CCD writer Kristen Grillo joined the missus and I at the last day of 'The Vilacek Foundation' LOST prop exhibit. I was as happy as a 7 year old school girl (again) as I saw some of my favorite pieces of LOST memorabilia. Some of  which are on display for the final time before being auctioned off. If you're as nuts as the CCD staff is over all things LOST, we figured you would appreciate the photos we were able to take of all the exhibit pieces.

Photos painstakingly taken by:
KRISTEN GRILLO and BRIANA MELENDEZ.

CAPTIONS compiled and dreamt up by:
YOURS TRULY.

  3. I would ahve liked to have goen to this but found out about it too late (I thought it was over even by the time you guys went). Anyway, the imagery on this show is really great, so seeing teh craft and imagination that wnet in to making these props and such would/could only add to the artistic appreciation. Those paintings are excellent. Good photos.
