Hey, and let me be the first to say - Ninja, where have you been? Oh no, wait, that's what you've all been saying! Well, I'm still here in Hawaii, having an amazing time and boy oh boy have I got some cool stuff to show you and tell you about!
First up, you probably saw a little picture on Speaker's blog yesterday. I've been having connection issues, so I asked him to put that up. I DID NOT ask him to imply that I've changed sides; as so many of you have pointed out, I was grilling Fenry for info! I was going to post earlier today, but I spent the entire day waiting for Michael to bring me my plushie polar bear :( (And yes, my arm band says I <3 Ninjas)Wait - you want me to back up a little? Done.
Saturday night - I charge down Waikiki Beach, where I see a mass of people starting to gather. Having decided to go sans ninja gear, I blended quickly into the crowd and made my way to the front. Now, I'm not gonna lie - I have mad blagging skillz when it comes to talking my way into things, so I spotted a solo security guard standing in front of a VIP entrance and went to work. At first he said no, but after seeing my glowing fist of power begin to ebb with light, he quickly got out of my way (good move.) 
BAM - I was on the other side of the fence, alone and out in the open for all to see. So what did I do? I made a beeline for the red carpet and hid behind three camera crews, got myself settled and began snapping away. 
What a spot - as you can see, I got super close to heaps of the cast, all of whom were having the time of their lives chatting with the crowd and doing short interviews. Seriously ladies, I was nearly deafened when Josh arrived!
After an hour of mingling, everyone began to take their seats and the show was on. Carlton Cuse, Jack Bender and Bryan Burk (the executive producers) introduced the cast, including some new characters I'd not heard of. Before I could snap off any great pics, a booming PREVIOUSLY - ON LOST came over the loudspeakers and the crowd went wild! All I'm going to say about the ep is - 
WOW.Being the wonderful non-spoiler I am, I'm not going to tell you A SINGLE THING I saw.
Sorry, but that's the way the cookie crumbles. You know what doesn't crumble, though? DHARMA Freeze-Dried Ice Cream. That stuff wil last forever! At this point, the first episode of another ABC (US) show, The Nine, was aired. Cool - but not for me. I wasn't done. I could see the cast and crew were heading off somewhere - I followed from a distance.
I hope you're glad I did. I think you'll agree it was worth it.
Totally worth it. Yeah!
Ladies - Josh wanted me to say hello to every single Australian fan, and to say thanks for the love! I can hear you swooning from here!And with that, I'm going to leave this post before I get booted again. I'll be back soon with part 2 of my coverage here, but boy oh boy, what a place....
Namaste
EDIT: I found the Oceanic termainal!!
