The Lost Experience

first!!

Posted by: Rufio | August 23, 2006 7:02 PM

I'd like to request that somebody resists the temptation to gorge themselves on these psychotropically enhanced candy bars o' goodness and take a few snapshots of them, then post them up here and at TLEC. There are alot of us who won't be able to get our hands on one. Thanks!

Peace&Namaste

Posted by: PeaceAndNamaste | August 23, 2006 7:02 PM

but seriously, I'm not really sure what's going on with the candy bars. I won't be able to get mine until next week in Santa Monica. I have to think though that it wouldn't be something as generic as the same url on all the candy bars. What would the incentive be to everyone who isn't able to get it today?? I mean, it would be cool, don't get me wrong, but I just hope they do something a little cooler and more individual than that. I mean, it's only a limited amount, right? So why not do something on a more individual level for once.

Posted by: Rufio | August 23, 2006 7:04 PM

Part of me hopes that all the candy bars are exactly the same, with the same information on them, since I live in one of those states that never gets any of these kinds of things.

But part of me also hopes there's interesting information on each group of candy bars. However, the trouble is--especially with the ones piggy backing on the Acura tour--how many people will get them who aren't interested in Lost, or who are, but aren't following the web game. This makes me think that they all will be pretty generic, just to make sure the information gets out to whoever needs it.

I dunno. Maybe I'm just bitter I can't get one. :)

Posted by: KJ | August 23, 2006 7:11 PM

I'm thinking it's not gonna just be an URL for every bar... There's got to be something to do on the website once you get there, and I think that something (the wrapper, the chocolate bar, a golden ticket?) will help a certain few out... Probably a limited number of special ones per location, the rest with just the URL. Since the website is whereisalvar.com, maybe people could get something to, well, help us figure out where the heck he is?!

Posted by: Skirtz | August 23, 2006 7:12 PM

I wonder if whereisalvar.com is going to be the new site for entering codes. There was that picture on Flickr yesterday (which has yet to varified, so take it for what its worth) where Rachel said that the HE.com site was no longer secure, or something to that effect, and that we might be getting a new site for the video clips. If it is true and we do get a new site, I would bet that they are doing to due to all of the complaints about how buggy the site is.

Posted by: lost_grrl | August 23, 2006 7:13 PM

Yeah, LG. If that's the way it is, though, I hope there is some way to use your username and such and just bring over all your files that you've got saved on HE, so you don't have to enter all of them in again. And arrange them again. The very prospect makes me....

Posted by: KJ | August 23, 2006 7:14 PM

LG, the stats page that was temporarily up had different parameters than HE.com.

I think it's a whole new thing.

Posted by: vexingmodstwo | August 23, 2006 7:22 PM

Well unless you are using Glyphomatic, your fragment order gets screwed up every other time you logon anyways. But having to enter in all those codes again WOULD be a big ol' pain in the ass. If it is the case that we are switching, then I hope TPTB figure out a way to have the data transfer. You would think that they would do so, but you never know with this ARG (I feel like a pirate every time I say/type that!)

Posted by: lost_grrl | August 23, 2006 7:23 PM

Well, whereisalvar.com now has a secure login, requiring a user name and password before you can even get in. Maybe that's on the candy bars, but maybe It will be groups of diffrent names and passwords for each location, each one revealing a diffrent clip. That would make it worth it, and we'd probably end up with 6 or 7 glyphs

Posted by: Rufio | August 23, 2006 7:23 PM

I've been lucky with HE and my frags almost always stay in place. *Knock on Wood* *about a million times* But my main beef is how long it takes to load the dumb things. And the fact that you can't arrange them and watch them at the same level.

Posted by: KJ | August 23, 2006 7:25 PM

Right before HE.com went live, it had a username and password box.

I think that's there to keep people out until they're ready. But who knows.

LG, have you cleared your cache lately? I believe he.com was updated sometime last week and it's been working fine for me since.

Posted by: vexingmodstwo | August 23, 2006 7:26 PM

You could always write the codes down in the order you believe they go in (and maybe even have them available electronically) so that all you have to do is type them in in order, and voila! They'll be there in the order they belong. This would be assuming that it'll be similar to the HE website.

Posted by: boo boo kitty | August 23, 2006 7:44 PM

Think its the next phase?

Posted by: Hagbard Celine | August 23, 2006 7:44 PM

Hagbard - I'm thinking we are almost at the promised Act IV?

Boo Boo Kitty - Just wanted to let you know I love your name!!

Posted by: Skirtz | August 23, 2006 7:46 PM

well hagbard, I believe some people think the next and final stage of the ARG is something to do with meeting Alvar Hanso, so it is def. a possibility that this site could be for a stage involving that.

Posted by: donkamero | August 23, 2006 7:47 PM

vexingmodstwo - you SPOILED EVERYTHING! People weren't supposed to learn about whereisalvar.com until TOMORROW whent he bars started to be distributed.

You've ruined this game for EVERYONE.

Posted by: PostDenial | August 23, 2006 7:47 PM

thank you skirtz! I love my name too! :o)

And Hag. It is definitely the next phase! But I don't think it'll become completely apparent until approx. a month before season launch. I think that stage iv will be set to start and then end before (like just before), oh, say, oct. 4?

Posted by: boo boo kitty | August 23, 2006 7:50 PM

uyo aer na sas deponistal

Posted by: donkamero | August 23, 2006 7:51 PM

wow! have we learned to insult in anagrams? nice!

Posted by: boo boo kitty | August 23, 2006 7:52 PM

yeah boo boo, it wouldn't suprise me if the game finished actually on the 4th lol, suppose that would actually be pretty good

Posted by: donkamero | August 23, 2006 7:53 PM

Hey Stupid (aka Postdenial / Lostpedian)... Today is the first day of distribution you moron.

Posted by: vexingmodstwo | August 23, 2006 7:56 PM

lol yeah, i thought it would be in keeping with the aspect of the game lol

Posted by: donkamero | August 23, 2006 7:59 PM

I must admit, I thought it was clever!

mmmmmmm, chocolate!

Posted by: boo boo kitty | August 23, 2006 8:01 PM

Very Impressive Donkamero...and funny.

Vex...don't listen to that idiot..I hate feeding trolls.

So we find all the glyphs but hanso isn't shut down? or do we get a new goal?

Posted by: Hagbard Celine | August 23, 2006 8:03 PM

Wow - I was able to read the anagrammed insult as regular words... I must be playing this game too much :)

Posted by: Skirtz | August 23, 2006 8:05 PM

It is possible that hanso won't be shut down, but the fact that rachel has indicated it may be compromised may be a clue that if we continue to use the HE site (after the whereisalvo site is launched), we may compromise rachel and the whole effort. It's a long shot, and would actually make this game interesting, but seemingly an unlikely scenario.

Posted by: boo boo kitty | August 23, 2006 8:06 PM

The way this game has gone in the past, it'll probably still be active, but basically useless, except to "hide" some things, maybe.

Posted by: boo boo kitty | August 23, 2006 8:07 PM

First, for those still having problems with HE.com...the trick is to move the fragments to and from the storage ONLY...don't move them from one tile to the next, i.e. take glyph A out of storage put in sequence...then to change it's position, put it back into storage...then back into new plac ein sequence...solved all problems for me. Don't forget to save!
.
.
Second, I think the fact that it is DARK chocolate is significant....it was originally milk chocolate....but has been corrupted over to the DARKSIDE!

Cheers

Posted by: Frosty | August 23, 2006 8:08 PM

Well, that's an interesting theory, Frosty!

Or maybe they changed it to dark chocolate because it is better for you than milk chocolate.

Posted by: boo boo kitty | August 23, 2006 8:14 PM

Bleck, dark chocolate tastes like a$$, IMHO.

Posted by: Frosty | August 23, 2006 8:17 PM

What I want to know is, where are the distribution dates and cities for folks like me in the Southeast?

Posted by: boo boo kitty | August 23, 2006 8:18 PM

Dove has GREAT dark chocolates. Hershey's special dark is pretty good too. :oP~~
.
Oops, I've started to drool!

Posted by: boo boo kitty | August 23, 2006 8:19 PM

PostDenial/Lostpedian: People have been talking about whereisalvar.com for DAYS! Vex did not START the buzz over the site, he is simply updating people on what he knows so far. Players of this game have frequently found sites, glyphs, etc. prior to them going live. A blank website spoils nothing. And how the hell do you know that it isn't "supposed" to be discovered until tomorrow? The first Apollo event is TODAY. Stop trying to be a damn know-it-all...you have been proven a know-nothing several times over.

But the bigger question is why you keep coming back? Clearly you hat the site, the admin, the mods and most of the members. So why even bother? Wouldn't your day go better if you just stayed away from the sites and people who antagonize you to such an extent? But that's not how you think, is it? You think pointing out other people's shortcomings makes you look smart and superior. But guess what...people don't like the know-it-alls who actually know what they are talking about. But people who act like know-it-alls without the correct info to back it up (that's you, by the way) are not only disliked, but also LAUGHED AT.

Posted by: lost_grrl | August 23, 2006 8:20 PM

Sorry boo boo kitty, there doesn't seem to be any distribution for the southeast US... (Unless you are somewhere else and I misunderstood...)

Maybe they think the chocolate will melt?

Posted by: Skirtz | August 23, 2006 8:21 PM

NOOOOOOOO! It can melt in my mouth!

and yes i was referring to the SE US--the closest it comes is KY and TN--what about the great states of georgia and florida, bama, north and south carolina, mississippi and louisiana (both ravaged by katrina--they need the chocolate to feel better). We all need the chocolate!!!
.
maybe i should start a petition to "share the chocolate!"

Posted by: boo boo kitty | August 23, 2006 8:26 PM

I don't suppose we have anyone in Dallas who knows when its going down on Sept 6th at the Granada? I have a friend in the area who may be able to check it out, but only if its 'after work' hours...

CREED
BTW, has anyone else seen the statistics page that appeared briefly earlier today? Very interesting stuff... :)

Posted by: Creed | August 23, 2006 8:29 PM

i never got to see that statistics page, someone mentioned it aswell, I'm intrigued now, lol. What was on it?

Posted by: donkamero | August 23, 2006 8:31 PM

Yeah creed... I saw that.

Goldentotal? Normaltotal?

Posted by: vexingmodstwo | August 23, 2006 8:32 PM

Did anyone catch the expiration date on the candy bar in "The Man" section as October 23, 2006. That is a Monday. Could it be that there might be a Hanso special on ABC that night? When is the season premiere anyway?

Posted by: kensington headmaster | August 23, 2006 8:40 PM

kensington I noticed that too...it's there on a bunch of them, but sometimes a pictures covers it after a second or two.

Posted by: hensfourth | August 23, 2006 8:44 PM

Yes, creed. Ms. O is planning on attending the Dallas handout. You can find her at rbrefugees.blogspot.com (not a plug-so don't shoot me)

season premiere is scheduled for oct. 4

I'm going to Santa Monica. E-mail me at mike7784_2000@yahoo.com

Posted by: Rufio | August 23, 2006 11:12 PM

I went by ESPN zone in Times Square and there were no Apollo bars being distributed. Did anyone else have any luck? I will be going to Central Park tomorrow to check it out!

Posted by: TMBR | August 23, 2006 11:12 PM

...and by the way, when I asked about Apollo Candy the staff had no idea of what I was talking about. Interestingly, however, the restaurant (not the gift shop) was closed for a private function. Could this be related to Apollo candy?

Posted by: TMBR | August 23, 2006 11:19 PM

did you crash it? :)

Posted by: tom | August 23, 2006 11:21 PM

TMBR... I think that private function is it.

Someone on another board is saying that you had to register for something in order to get in...

Stay tuned.

Posted by: vexingmodstwo | August 23, 2006 11:22 PM

out of interest, who on here is from the UK and heading to a Forbidden Planet tomorrow.

another thing, anyone know where there is a good discussion or any theories on the placing of the video segments on the HE.com storyboard?

Posted by: donkamero | August 23, 2006 11:26 PM

Hey Don... Click the "forums" button over on the side bar up there.

I've got the golden ticket, but I ate it, was that bad?

Posted by: lostpedian | August 23, 2006 11:27 PM

Hey...

vex asked me to post what (little) I have heard so far about the Park Avenue Country Club thing...

My cousin went down there right before 5:30. She said that they weren't letting people inside without preregistration for the fantasy football event happening at the same time. Seemed like a ritzy restaurant, well dressed people were being let in the VIP entrance. Lady at the front (who is in charge of promotion) didn't seem to know anything about Apollo & Lost promotion, so it's weird. That's all I've heard so far. I registered her name, and she is going to try go to back after she has dinner in the area... that's all.

Posted by: Pandora | August 23, 2006 11:29 PM

Thanks Pan.

Posted by: vexingmodstwo | August 23, 2006 11:30 PM

Im coming in from Chino (you heard me). Im about to go to work, but over the next few days, all of us going to Santa Monica should plan to meet somewhere in Santa Monica and see what we can figure out. Im not going to post my e mail on here because Im tired of having people cut, paste, and spam my ass, but you can get it on my website.

Posted by: Hitman | August 23, 2006 11:31 PM

looked on the apollo site
apparently the password is alva hanso for the candy
hope to go sept 23rd and see what it is all about.

Posted by: Ricardo | August 23, 2006 11:31 PM

Supposedly someone asked a security guard about the candy bars, and they were "given away in gift bags" to the fantasy football attendees. Fantastic.......

Posted by: j | August 23, 2006 11:32 PM

So ESPN screwed the pooch.

Way to go, dudes!

Posted by: vexingmodstwo | August 23, 2006 11:35 PM

aw yeah cheers vex. I was goin to join the forum aswell. seems like a gret site

Posted by: donkamero | August 23, 2006 11:37 PM

I doubt ESPN screwed the pooch, they are probably playing along with the game, just like a couple of people here did.

Posted by: lostpedian | August 23, 2006 11:37 PM

I'd say ditto what Pandora said, with the exception of the word "ritzy." I've stupidly stopped by the Park Avenue place twice today (once at 11:30, once at 5:30) and neither time were there Apollo bars being handed out. This evening an "ESPN Fantasy Football Draft Pick" special event there, co-sponoserd by Coke Zero, which required registration prior to today, which was when I found out about the Apollo bars (wasn't this place added like yesterday?) so I'm not pre-registered. It's clearly a non-Lost-related event, so either they're going to be giving the bars away to people who don't care about them, or they are giving them out later, or I don't know. Why list a giveaway location that's not open to the public? It seems pretty lame.

Posted by: DavisMcDavis | August 23, 2006 11:40 PM

Lostpedian, you said you ate the golden ticket, right?

I hope you enjoy that tomorrow.

Posted by: vexingmodstwo | August 23, 2006 11:41 PM

Maybe ESPN was hacked.

Tapdawg just called and said that he has "official confirmation" that the chocolates were SUPPOSED to get put inside the gift bags, but the chocolates never showed up. None were given away.

yeah i went down to the ESPN zone to check it out and there wasn't anything there, so i got some wings, a brew and watched some baseball haha

Posted by: larry | August 24, 2006 12:33 AM

From tapdawg at TLEC

i talked with speaker... he wants you to email him if you went to the NYC distribution today. So once again if you went to the distribution today then email speaker at speaker815@gmail.com

Posted by: adedmat | August 24, 2006 12:39 AM

Hi. this is for Ms.O whom I know is looking into The Dallas Distribution.

For those of you wanting to attend the Dallas Apollo Bar distribution, I just found on the Dallas Lost experience blog http://lost.beloblog.com/ the following information:

"What: WFAA Channel 8 (ABC affiliate)presents:
ABC's Red Carpet Fall Sneak Preview

When:
September 6th from 7:30 to 10pm

Where:
Granada Theatre
3524 Greenville Ave.
Dallas, TX 75206

Now, here is the IMPORTANT part: you have to WIN tickets to get into the event.

I will be posting the link to win tickets in the next couple of days.

I have also been told that I (me, Doug (mod of the blog)) will be receiving a VERY limited number of APOLLO candy bars prior to the event. Haven't decided if I will eat them, keep them, or give them to my bloggin' pals... HMMMMMM."
So now we know.

Anyone in Dallas want to get together to go should you win tickets?

Posted by: Celedon | August 23, 2006 at 04:00 PM

Posted by: Lauren | August 24, 2006 12:42 AM

Does anyone have more info on tomorrow's NY distribution event @ Central Park? I'm going for sure, I just want to make sure there's no need to register, etc.

Posted by: TMBR | August 24, 2006 12:57 AM

well TMBR, i went to the Jack Johnson concert at Summerstage last year and if its going on during a concert which it looks liked based on the 6-10 thing, you wont be able to get in unless you have a ticket, so basically whatever the concert or showing is, unless you wanna really scalp a 50 dollar ticket to get into the concert just to see a candy bar, don't waste your time.

Posted by: jay | August 24, 2006 1:25 AM

I just found out that this will be a free concert sponsored by Jeep!

Posted by: TMBR | August 24, 2006 1:42 AM

What the hell is this crap! The Speaker's call that people who went to the event today to e-mail him sounds like something went wrong. Is there anyone who actually got one of these bars? Are there even any bars? How does LostPedia have a picture and what are people going to have to do to get these so-called "free"bars? GRRR

Posted by: lost_grrl | August 24, 2006 1:51 AM

to the person who asked earlier if anyone from the uk was going tomorrow to a store im going to the newcastle branch.

Posted by: geordie815 | August 24, 2006 2:22 AM

TMBR, do you know who will be performing? I'm asking someone to go in my place and I'd appreciate the info so that, at least I can tell him what he will be hearing when he gets there.

Posted by: CrazyLatin007 | August 24, 2006 2:42 AM

lost_grrl... The pic from Lostpedia is from the UK. Someone got some bars there.

But it seems that the NYC event went haywire and they didn't ship the bars to the location.

Typical.

Posted by: vexingmodstwo | August 24, 2006 2:44 AM

I'm not sure lost_grrl, but those bars sure don't look like anything special. No chewy center, no cookie crunch, no nougat, no caramel. That better be one tasty url.

Posted by: Bunny Suction | August 24, 2006 2:45 AM

yeah geordie, i'm just hoping the Glasgow store has them. me and my brother are going to go up, i think.

Posted by: donkamero | August 24, 2006 3:52 AM

I'm guessing they probably cancelled today's giveaway because they realized they weren't going to have whereisalvar.com up in time.

Posted by: Kayube | August 24, 2006 4:15 AM

What? How could they not have it up in time?

How long have they been working on it?

Posted by: Guru | August 24, 2006 7:11 AM

Hi all, i couldn't read on the website whats the label of the chocolate bar. In the one which is broken there is sth like "whe......" in the one at the bottom-right there should be the complete one, but there is a "jpeg effect" on it. Did someone found a way to read it?

Grazie

Posted by: Alfonso | August 24, 2006 8:59 AM

Is it weird a hanso subsidiary is helping promote a Rachel Blake site? Maybe the Hanso foundation want to put faces to the names of people they need to take out? Dark, i know, but I have questions.

Posted by: kaanivorous | August 24, 2006 12:20 PM

AHA! wheresalvar.com is active! But its just a gray flash applet.
Did anyone in the UK get their appolo bar yet? I'm afraid forbidden planet is just too far away from me right now, although I told some of my mates to go get one...they wont.

Posted by: Steve | August 24, 2006 12:21 PM

Ooh the applets changed, now its showing photos of people with their apollo bars. No clues yet as to what they say though...

Posted by: Steve | August 24, 2006 12:26 PM

Looks like there are a load of golden 'Oracle' bars, and when enough have been found, Rachel will send us something "you wont want to miss".. Can't wait

Posted by: Malc | August 24, 2006 1:00 PM

well, it seems there are only going to be around 1500 bars needed (1% found listed on site), so hopefully, there won't be only 1500 distributed! limited suppy makes it harder to make sure all 1500 are posted! Come on guys, lets get those bars and post the pics......

Posted by: boo boo kitty | August 24, 2006 1:19 PM

hey Steve
-
i'm in the uk, bout 40mins from Cambs so went and got a bar today, the lady had bout 40bars left!
-
new password tomorrow so might get another, hopefully in a few years they might be worth summin: eBay! lol
-
my friend's bar had whereisalvar.com printed on it and i think mine does to (havnt opened it), but i'm wondering if there are like 5 special bars in the world, like the 5 golden tickets in the world, which may have glyph code on.
-
the bar doesnt have a sell/eat-by date, but an 'enjoy by' date, Oct 23rd 06, anyone think this is relevant?

Posted by: jamboni | August 24, 2006 1:20 PM

i'm sure the date has significance. but what is the question? maybe it's the game end date.

new code found at ninja's site: PFKAB5QXK

well actually, it was found in australia on an anchor?

Posted by: boo boo kitty | August 24, 2006 1:54 PM

whereisalvar.com = another dumb hoop we have to jump through to get a glyph

Posted by: davy jones owns | August 24, 2006 2:23 PM

Actually, I don't think whereisalvar.com will produce just ONE glyph. No sir, this is something else, something much MUCH bigger. Perhaps a whole new film - or, in fact, the location of Alvar.

But really, if you think about it - you should already know where Alvar is, if my theory holds true....... ;)

I live in Necastle in England and have a golden ticket Apollo bar!
I have just submitted my picture with the code, but the code has been rubbed slightly and 2 of the 9 letters/numbers are hard to read!
Waiting for my email from Rachel!
My husband went to Forbidden Planet this morning for me and I haven't been able to get near a computer, so I've only just realised that the golden sticker was something special!!!!

Tonight there is candy giveaway at Marymoor park (Seattle area). I did some research and the event is for previewing the new ABC lineup. I am hoping that the bars will be given away at that event.

See you lost fans there....

Anyone know where the Apollo Bars are on the MN state fair grounds? Help me get an Apollo Bar!

Posted by: MN Lost | August 24, 2006 11:43 PM

I jsut came back from Central Park empty handed :( I stood in the rain for at least one hour looking for someone who knew anything about the distribution. Finaly, I found a Jeep girl who knew what was going on. Several people had asked her the same question. The bars will only be distributed after the concert (approx 10 pm). That's very disappointing :( I don't know if I'll be going back there later on. Does anyone else have stories from Central Park as well?

Posted by: TMBR | August 25, 2006 12:13 AM

Ditto what TMBR just posted - I just got back from Central Park, too, and it made me so angry I came on here to post about it (very Comic book Guy, I know). It's really, really rude to say (on Apollocandy.com) that they're giving them away from 6pm to 9pm, when in reality they don't mention that they are really only giving them out at 10pm, meaning if you showed up at the listed time (6pm) you have to wait in the rain for the FOUR FREAKIN' hours at a concert you don't want to go to. I was actually considering going back there at 10pm to try to get one, but the more I think about it, what are the chances they're really going to do give them away then? I'm sure if I went back at 10pm, it would turn out they gave them out at 9:30 or something. This sucks. And blows. It sucks and blows.

The situation is very frustrating!! It sucks and blows indeed! I'm not sure if I'll be heading out there again as it's still raining :(

Posted by: TMBR | August 25, 2006 2:21 AM

Oh man... This is just NOT good.

Srike 2 for NYC :(

Posted by: nannyapril | August 25, 2006 2:35 AM

Hey guys! whereisalvar.com is live! You can post pictures of you and your Apollo Bars. There are instructions from Rachel and she is looking for "Golden Oracle" Bars. When enough Golden bars are found, we will get further instructions. As Rachel says, "You won't wanna miss whaty I have to show you.

Posted by: smmypie | August 25, 2006 4:00 AM

No bars showed up to the Seattle event

Posted by: Brian Amanita | August 25, 2006 5:09 AM

WOW...more snafu? No bars in Seattle? And NYC...guys I don't get the giving away after the concert?? Lostnuts one of the Refugees went to Central Park and was in a line at 6:00 with about 30 folks. She said the 'distributer' had no idea what it was about and actually let her look through his bag for a bar with the Oracle! I thought that was pretty decent of him...unfortunately there weren't any.

Posted by: Ms. O' | August 25, 2006 6:24 AM

She did say that all kinds of folks were getting them and just rippin the wrappers off and eating the chocolate not having a clue what it was about! Too bad, how sad! Here we had people waiting for them and other's gettin 'em that couldn't care less :( My heart goes out to any that stood in the rain and missed the boat.

Posted by: Ms. O' | August 25, 2006 6:26 AM

The event in Dallas is also an ABC Sneak Peek or what is referred to in the industry as "Up Front" presentation. I guess I should be happy (those in the other dist. cities should be glad their events are being handled by ABC I think, after the current SNAFU's) BUT I can't believe I have to WIN access to the event which is limited to 400+ folks!

I'm just hoping there won't be a HUGE demand for them here!

Creed...still gonna try? I'd be most happy to meet you and any other playa's, lol! But ya gotta try to get your ticket by RSVPing on WFAA's LOST blog. Give me a holler if you need the url. I'll be checking it shortly as supposed to be up Friday, and well, it IS Friday now, hehe!

Posted by: Ms. O' | August 25, 2006 6:36 AM

The ABC people were beyond apologetic tonight at the Seattle event, as there were many fans there for the bars. To their credit - they made up for it with extra trivia questions that only Lost fans would know (Like Geronomo Jackson being the music on hold when you call the Hanso Foundation)

They asked anyone who was there for a bar to leave contact information and they would try to send them out.

One young lady coordinating the event said "the sad thing is they have our cell phone numbers and kinda left us out to dry with no information."

Great idea for an event though - but sad to see they couldn't pull off the thing that brought many people to the show.

"She did say that all kinds of folks were getting them and just rippin the wrappers off and eating the chocolate not having a clue what it was about!"

Ms. O' i was thinkin that that problem could be a mighty flaw in this part of the game because the peeps giving out the bars might not give 2 hoots bout the 'code' word and many oracles may go missing :'(
-
Maybe there should have been more instructions with the bar like "you must go to" written in smaller letters above the website on the bar or summin like that.

Posted by: jamboni | August 25, 2006 12:37 PM

On www.whereisalvar.com there is a regular bar in Italy? Are they distributing bars in Italy too or "mucca" is just back from UK?

The Tyson's Corner Mall give away was tied in with the local abc affiliate's meet-and-greet. They ran out fast and I missed the Apollo people all together. But a lingerer was nice enough to give me one of her four candy bars. She didn't know what they were.

Posted by: romanp2 | August 25, 2006 6:46 PM

I went out to the seattle event last night, and nothing. So frustrating........

Posted by: evanly | August 25, 2006 6:47 PM

I went to the Tyson's location and they had run out.

I guess because they were giving them out by the handful... sigh... so stupid.

Posted by: vexingmodstwo | August 25, 2006 7:45 PM

peeps in the U.S r unlucky. here in da UK the shop i go to, in Cambridge, seem to have loads left, not busy at all, and in Cambridge, wuda thought ther wud b queues lol

Posted by: jamboni | August 26, 2006 12:20 AM

Hey everyone, first time poster. I just got one of the "Goldon Oracle" bars from the giveaway in Indianapolis, but I can't read all the letters on the code that I'm suppossed to enter. Any ideas on what I can do?

Posted by: Indiana Josh | August 26, 2006 3:42 AM

So, when are us Aussies gonna get some chocolate? (Please get some in Perth, pleasepleaseplease!)

Posted by: Muskie | August 26, 2006 8:08 AM

So far I've had two failed attempts to get chocolate bars, however, there's another distribution event tomorrow in NY: the 1/2 marathon presented by Nike. Apollo's website is not specific about when the bars will be distributed, all they wrote is "morning". This marathon starts at 7:00am and I sure don't want to be there by 7 and leave empty handed. Does anyone have any more info? Is anyone from here going?

Posted by: TMBR | August 26, 2006 4:15 PM

The Glasgow store doesn't have them.

Posted by: Fraslet | August 26, 2006 5:14 PM

concerning the golden oracle bars, where do i enter the code that is on the gold sticker?

Posted by: Amy | August 26, 2006 8:30 PM

FICTIONALLY, is this new thing sth out of the LostExperience game? I mean... why ApolloCandy (which should be by Hanso's side) has the Rachel Blake name on it? Why the ApolloCandy's bars are supposed to have something inside that will let us know where is Alvar Hanso?
FICTIONALLY its a big mistake, isn't it?

Posted by: Alfonso | August 28, 2006 11:39 AM

got me a bar!!!! the forbidden planet in birmingham, uk has loads! ebay here i come, some muppet is paying 25 quid 4 1!

Posted by: brummypaul | August 28, 2006 11:45 AM

That's It!!!! I'll have my friend bring me some from England! Thanks Brummypaul! Anyone know where they are near Farnborough?

Posted by: Lost MN | August 28, 2006 9:12 PM

anyone here gettin em from cambs, i will be going tomorrow to see if they have any left cos they had loads AND they made sure you knew the code.
-
does the distribution stop today (Monday)?

Posted by: jamboni | August 28, 2006 10:49 PM

i found out today that the promo doesnt end until 20th September, in the UK anyway.
-
the fridge in the Forbidden PLanet was full of bars, i mean full, so i will try and get as many as i possibly can because no1 seems to be getting them.
-
so far i have gotten 3 but none are oracles

Posted by: jamboni | August 29, 2006 4:37 PM

Loads to be had in the UK - could go everyday & have never seen anyone else in the store getting them or paying any interest to the numerous posters. Also, the UK only just saw the 2nd/3rd view of an apollo bar in season 2 & haven't had the time to dwell/wait that the US is having (4+ weeks to finale)

Posted by: TokinHawK | September 1, 2006 12:02 AM

Did anyone see what got posted on this site? If you click on the Sri Lanka dot on the map and look at the pictures, one of them is from Rachel. It looks like a bunch of binary code, but I haven't decripted it yet. Let me know if anyone else has.
