Once again, if you know me at all, you know I’m a huge fan of the TV show “LOST,” which is filmed in my home state, Hawai‘i. Because the show is filmed here, the producers have been really generous over the course of its run in allowing us to have sneak previews of some of the season premieres, at an event we call Sunset on the Beach (because it occurs at sunset on Waikiki Beach).

Yesterday was the last ever Sunset on the Beach season premiere of “LOST,” as the show enters its final season, so of course I joined my friends Ryan and Jen and, oh, THOUSANDS of others on the beach for the event.

Executive Producer Carlton Cuse introduces stars before the show.

I won’t post any spoilers, because, come on, the episode airs Tuesday night, but let’s just say it was well worth staking out a good spot on the beach starting at 10:00 in the morning. I will, however, post a few photos from the red carpet arrivals:

Ken Leung (Miles). Of course an Asian guy arrives first and on time.

Emmy Award-winner Michael Emerson (Ben). I love this photo because the fan on the right looks pretty desperate.

Zuleikha Robinson (Ilana). New-ish girl we haven’t gotten to know that well yet, though she did kick Sayid’s ass in one ep.

Daniel Dae Kim (Jin). Awesome.

Nestor Carbonell (Richard Alpert). As established on the Season 5 DVD, he does not wear eyeliner. But people still ask.

Naveen Andrews (Sayid). As Anonymous Julie has pointed out, he is kinda short.

Jorge Garcia (Hurley). Super nice. Spent a lot of time with the fans.

Producer Jean Higgins.

Jeff Fahey (Frank Lapidus).

Harold Perrineau (Michael). Hammed it up for fan photos. Awesome.

Director Jack Bender.

Henry Ian Cusick (Desmond). OK, slight spoiler: He’s in the season premiere. ;o)

Emmy Award-winner Terry O’Quinn (Locke — and the new badass dude). He had to think twice before stopping for this photo but was really nice about it!

Evangeline Lilly (Kate). Also super nice and posed for a ton of photos.

The famous Damon and Carlton (executive producers and lead writers Damon Lindeloff, right, and Carlton Cuse), celebrities in their own right through the official “LOST” podcast.

Yunjin Kim (Sun). Yay!

Matthew Fox (Jack) and Josh Holloway (Sawyer) also arrived eventually, but they came way after everybody else, and I had deserted the red carpet by then.

I have a few other photos up on my Flickr album here. Please don’t reuse any photos without asking first.

Enjoy Season 6, everyone! Looks like it’s going to be quite a ride . . .
