Itinerary[]
The Friday party, 7:00-10:30pm, is a chance to socialize with other Lost fans. There will be snacks, Lost related games, a Chinese auction benefitting the Children's Defense Fund, music and a cash bar.
The Saturday party, 7:00-11:30pm, centers on the Charity Auction, approximately half of which will be a Silent Auction and half Chinese auction. There will be food (of the party variety), a DJ playing mostly Lost-related music, a cash bar, and guests from the show Lost.
The Sunday brunch is a chance to unwind from Saturday's party, make plans, or say goodbyes. A number of Lost-related decorations from the party will be given away as prizes.
Accommodations[]
A block of rooms has been reserved at the Hollywood Renaissance - details are on the website. There are other places to stay if you prefer or if the room block fills up, but it is a very handy place to stay.
There will be numerous unofficial activites throughout the weekend as well. Visit the Threaded Board at The Fuselage to see what some folks are planning.
Volunteers[]
Volunteers: we need 20 or so volunteers to help during Lost Weekend. We ask you for 2 or 3 hours of your time (1 hour during Saturday's party).

Undying gratitude and a Lost Weekend t-shirt.

Because schedules in the entertainment business are so changable, the Lost Weekend Party does not generally announce VIP attendees ahead of time. VIP appearances cannot be guaranteed. However, Sterling Beaumon (young Ben) answered that he is coming and, as a big Lost fan himself, is looking forward to meeting other fans [1].
