Last night we went to a sneak preview of the LOST installation currently at the Vilcek Foundation (which opens today and will be running through June 5th). We weren't quite sure what this was all about until we arrived and immediately stumbled upon a VW bus littered with Dharma Initiative cola cans. Yep, the island is currently on the Upper East Side! The exhibit is filled with island artifacts, as well as photographs and biographical profiles of immigrant and first-generation American members of LOST (the foundation honors foreign born artists who have contributed to society).
At last night's opening reception Jorge Garcia (aka Hurley) was in attendance, as was newer cast member Zuleikha Robinson... but the real stars of the evening were Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, the duo who created the show, which will be ending Sunday in a 2 1/2 hour series finale. Lindelof was even kind enough to share some secrets and a few small spoilers. (Something about Walt and... if we didn't consume all of that Dharma pinot grigio we'd probably remember!)
If you're a fan, we highly recommend checking this exhibit out—when else will you be able to knock on Ben Linus's secret door or stand in the shadow of Jughead? Until then, check out some more Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof after the jump (the duo did the Top Ten on Letterman last night—which Lindelof viewed from a barstool doing shots).
