Lost premiere in Waikiki - CANCELLED

Thanks to Amy for finding this article that is the first official confirmation, that I've seen, that the Season 4 Premiere - Sunset on the Beach is cancelled. Another victim of the strike it seems.

Several bloggers have asked me about the status of this year's Sunset on the Beach premiere of Lost's Season 4.

I have some bad news: there isn't going to be one.

According to Rick Egged, president of the Waikiki Improvement Association, ABC and the Lost Production decided against any hooplah this year in light of the ongoing Hollywood writer's strike and consequent lack of a full 16-episode season this year.

Sunset on the Beach is still fun, though! While it won't be Lost, you can still enjoy the January lineup next weekend:

January 19: Shrek the Third
January 20: Championship highlight video (in conjunction with that evening's Parade of Champions, which will feature players of UH's Western Athletic Conference championship teams in football and women's soccer and volleyball, and the Division I and II high school football champions, Leilehua High and 'Iolani schools.)

There should be a good crowd for the Parade of Champions, and it'll be more than worth attending to support our great island athletes.

That said, now that there's no premiere (tear), is anyone planning to host a Lost party on the 31st? I'd love to know about it!
