i wasn't dreaming. or was i?

So, I go to Hawaii fairly often because my family lives there (aunt/uncle/cousins & their kids) and because of minsoo's connection with the people who do the film festival out there. I was there last week and it was awesome. The weather, seeing family, seeing some good films, great scenery and food were all par for the course. However, the end of my trip took a weird turn that could be (but won't be in this post) summed up in 1 word: L0ST.

And by L0st, I mean the the TV show. Let me recap the last 40 or so hours of our trip:

So on Friday night at sunset, Minsoo and I went to this waikiki outdoor bar on the beach over looking the ocean to meet Dan1e1 Dae K1m (aka actor who plays Jin on L0st) for drinks and appetizers (because DDK is a fan of Minsoo's site and they've developed a rapport). Amazing service, a few girls even bought us a round of drinks because they were fans. Of DDK, not us. People at the tables next to us were staring and whispering around us, it was weird. Good conversation, I kept my cool the whole time. Later on that night we went to another bar where the actors who play Miles, Keamy, Nadia and Omar were there. DDK showed up later. The next day, we went to a field where we watched cast (R1chard A1pert, Mi1es, Hur1ey, Kate) and crew of Lost playing a kickball tournament where everyone was dressed in team shirts, doing team cheers, and playing with a gigantic rubber ball. And yes, the guy who plays R.A. really does look like he has eyeliner on in real life (also seems like a nice guy from the 2 seconds we interacted with him).

It sounds like some weird crazy dream sequence, right? No, the above paragraph is an account of a few of the events that happened during the last few days of my hawaiian vacation. Crazy.
