Attention North Texas players (candy, canday, candy)!!!
Well, I have received word today that will probably give you some insight into when and why...
What:
WFAA, Channel 8, 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) 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.
Why did I say "Canday?"




Comments
Thakns for the info, Doug. Hmmmm....you have to win the tickets? I guess wild-eyed Lost Experience fans might be a bit disruptive to the event, huh?
*batting eyes* Anything I can do to ensure I get a candy bar, Doug?
LOL!

Thanks!

the retocn for the new york disappointment from speaker's blog
"What the? What happened? (Rhetorical question. I got lots of accounts.)
I have no ties with the Apollo Candy company, so I can't apologize for them - but I literally felt SICK earlier when I found out. 'Cause I was psyched and I knew a lot of YOU were psyched and, yeah.
I dunno what happened. Did SHADE go TOO far with their protest? Who knows. I'm crossing my fingers for tomorrow's and the future give-aways.
Do me a favor. And this is totally on the honor system here. If you went to the event today and came away empty handed - send me an e-mail.
Speaker815 (at) gmail DOT com.
Put "NYC APOLLO" as the subject line. If I get too many e-mails, I may not respond to them - I just want to make a list for my own personal collection, ya know.
Thanks.
Sorry it didn't work out. Until next time."

The webiste associated with the candy bar distribution is now active. Go to www.whereisalvar.com to find out what you need to do once you get an Apollo bar. (And think Willy Wonka-it may help!)
Also, glyph #49 is out: pfkab5qxk.
(BTW, I was just joking with you Doug about doing things for you just to get a candy bar in my previous post.)

I'm sorry I just want to whine, because I am having to miss all the candy fun. Being on an offshore UK island really does suck sometimes :(
Ok whine over. :)

Hi, i was looking on the apollo site and when you click The Jeep, The man, and The company, the little chocolate bar comes up w/ all the stuff on it (as all of the info things do) but these three have an "expiration date" on them. "ENJOY BY OCT 23-06" not sure if this means anything but i thought it may help

Any DC'ers here? I was planning to swing by Tyson's Corner tomorrow just to see what's up.

Hey Doug, just found your blog! Thanks for all the info and please keep us posted!
Posted by: Your Mother | August 24, 2006 5:23 PM
Well one of the Refugees, Lostnuts, just reported in that she was able to snag 2 bars in NYC. So even the rain didn't put a damper on her parade!
Seems lot's of folks there to see the concert, but have no idea what the bars are about and are just tossing the wrappers!!
Arghhhh!!!!!! I need one!
Posted by: Ms. O | August 24, 2006 6:20 PM
Doug,
Thanks for posting the info. about the event at the Granada. I called there ticket office first and they redirected me to wfaa.com (but not the Lost Blog specifically). You might want to call them to give them some standard info. to give to callers. The number is 214 824-9933.
Also, if you could find out whether Apollo bars will be available to anyone who shows up at the theater (rather than only to those lucky enough to have a ticket to the event), that would be very helpful (and a really good PR idea). I'm sure there are some who will simply show up without knowing about the ticket contest, etc.
Thanks and I will be watching your blog for updates!

Doug, A couple more questions about ABC's Red Carpet Fall Sneak Preview at Granada Theater...
Before finding your blog, I called the ticket office, and they thought the event was "four hours" and might include premiers for four shows. Can you provide more definite details about what will be included, and in particular what from Lost (of course). Will they show the full Season 3 premier, or something related to the DVD release or???
Does "Red Carpet Event" imply that attendees should plan to dress up at all? Or is it completely casual? Will there be any stars in attendance? Photo ops or signings planned?
Thanks!

I NEED one of these tickets! How do I go about getting one!? OR TWO!? Oh man...I never win anything, I'm probably screwed...
DOUG NOTE: Not if you read the blog... (hint: read the blog)
