There is a film called Ping Pong Playa, and the title on the film poster looks very like the Playa word on the new clue, which further links the reveal to the SPiN club.

Frame 13 - Clue 2 NY PLAYA 264
A lot later in the day than the first clue for frame 13, but it is here for us now.

1 – 200 of 264 Newer› Newest»So that's clue two... assuming we get clue three tomorrow, and clue four Thursday, I guess we're on track for (another) Friday morning reveal.
Friday would be very unfortunate...
Different typeface, this one…
Confirms everyone has been on the right track - well done all.
A video from a SPiN tournament event, not relevant to PLAYA, but shows you what it looks like inside.
11am would be unfortunate. Doesn't matter much what day it is to me.
There is a film called Ping Pong Playa
Anyone want to call Chris at FP and ask him to call Spin?
Perhaps some significance to the L & A being connected...
Amy - ROFL, I'm sure he would appreciate that.
Dan, I've updated the main page with the film poster for Ping Pong Playa, and the L A is similarly connected.
This clue would be more exciting if you hadn't solved it prior to its post. You guys (girls) are good.
As long is it ends up at spin, the clues will not offer much to do except eventually reveal the time and confirmation that it is a pretty intelligent group.
There is also this article at filmintuition.com
Which has the headline
"Susan Sarandon-- Ping-Pong Playa?"
@Attorney Greg... yeah, LOL. But there must be people following the game who haven't been on LostARGs or DarkUFO, right? Who do actually need each of the clues?
Trying to see what that red pattern in the letters is from- tabletop, paddles, floor?
Have emailed Spin to see if they have WIFI. Did not mention LOST.
JT, good idea. I'm laughing at the idea of everyone sitting there with our laptops in the middle of a big room of people playing ping pong.
You folks are amazing. I'm home with the flu, and I can't believe how quick you are to pick up the details of the new reveals! Go team!
Do we have any attendees yet? A twitter contact would be great if I am to have any shot at this whatsoever.
hobbit, depends on the time, but I'm assuming I'll be there. twitter.com/room317. I'll probably have someone on the phone also, as it's faster for me to give someone the URL than tweet it.
There was a poster awhile back who said might go- think it was acs-have to look back.
If it's Friday, I'll already be gone, but if it's Thursday and the time isn't absolutely horrendous for me, I'm ntoriusdan.
Bill Mack at Spin has emailed back one word- Yes. So they do have WIFI. He did not ask why I wanted to know.
Everybody email Bill Mack!
Bill "Chris" Mack
I just emailed him to see if he'll give me any info. My guess is no.
I think this pretty much confirms SPiN. Now for a date/time.
Since TYSON continues to ignore the midwest I regret that I probably cannot attend. Hopefully someone is available for the onsite reveal?
JT -- hmmm, they seem to have ignored my email, but then again I did not confine my questions to WiFi access :)
Is Bill Mack's email on their website?
I used info@spinyc.com
Wow Ellen, sorry that you're still sick! :-(
Thanks. I hope I'm better in time for the reveal, although it doesn't seem to matter. My computer is just not fast enough. Darn Vista!!@#$%@
In other flu news, my mum is almost recovered, apart from a nasty cough.
Can anyone tell me if the iPhone knows your account information simply by putting in your name and password?
I'm still waiting for them to do a reveal in Utah. I can't believe they haven't. It's such a happening state. I say with love and by love I mean hate. Which I feel I can say as I have lived here all my life. (Sssh don't tell anyone).
Well now that we (or you guys) have it figured out, lets just get to the reveal. That hour were we all refresh our page over and over non stop until we see it and then have 10 seconds (or less) before it's over. And then we get to the other fun part where we all mourn the fact that we couldn't get in. Really there's so much waiting around for such a little teeny moment that is getting so teensy weensy with every reveal but yet oddly the wait for them feels longer.
I clearly have nothing to add other than a lot of words. Non of which are important in the slightest.
What other fun can you have that lasts 10 seconds or less ?
Nothing I'm familiar with, Zort.
hmmm wonder why they used "playa" in the clue...was it just to link it to the Ping Pong Playa movie? That movie came out in 2007. Seems odd to link a clue to a movie that came out 2 years ago.
@justin, I'm pretty sure they just wanted us to head in the direction of ping pong.
Good news on your Mum Zort.
At least you had a very nice Olympics hosting, MeSoCrazy. It looked great on TV from NY anyway. :-)
Someone's favorite liquor shot drink could last 10 seconds, including the burn on the way down. :o)
yeah, that's probably the case. Just thinking out loud.
Btw, It mentions in several places on the Spin website that the weekly events are members only. But friday night's event doesnt mention whether or not it's members only. Anyone know if it is? I'm just trying to figure out if the reveal will be friday night at the event or during normal hours (they open at 11am).
I think the events are members only, but you don't need to be a member to go in and play.
Amy Lynn, regarding the iPhone probably the best you can do is copy either your email, password or CC#, I was on the horrendous 3G network with only my login email copied to the clipboard and I was able to snatch Jacobs Cabin, a lot of luck is definitely involved (more like FATE??)
exciting times!! I will be attending Comic-Con for the first time ever, I hope there's some kind of LostArgs meet to discuss the series finale!
Playa is beach in spanish. IDK if that's been mentioned
@vabauer - that's insane! Congrats, and thanks for giving us potential attendees some hope.
Zort- for sure that poster is where they got the letters-wow- quick find for you!
Here is post by atcs- you still there?
"Finally a reveal that I am probably able to attend! Hoping it's scheduled at a time that I can make it though
November 10, 2009 8:44 AM"
Bill Mack (aka The Wizard of Waff Waff per his post)is at bill@spinyc.com. One n.
JT, just sent him this:
Hi Mr. Mack!
Would you be able to tell me if you are hosting a LOST event either Thursday or Friday, and what time that event might be at ?
Much obliged. I will write you a song and/or make you a cupcake for the correct info.
Amy
he might go for the cupcake.
LOL Amy- hope he likes cupcakes.
There was another reply from:
Franck Raharinosy
SPiN NEW YORK
Co-Founder/Managing Partner
646 275 0032
Also yes, there is WIFI. He's at franck@spinyc.com
Friday morning PST I hope it's before I have to leave for work.
maybe playa will be . . .sand ping pong, bring in sand to the venue. Can that happen in Manhattan?
miss you all. one more day here in the desert. Hoping for Thursday/Friday reveal.
Zort- glad your mum is feeling better!
Ellen- hope you start feeling better soon! think happy LOST thoughts... :)
Amy Lynn- i'm following you on twitter and have sent you an @ message :) Thanks for going to the reveal and have fun- whenever it is!
MeSoCrazy- i enjoyed your words :) They made me smile
I think for the first time I'm not looking forward to this reveal like I did the others. It was fun when back when we would guess about the clues, wait for people who went to the locale collect their stuff and give us the URL, watch the poster be revealed, ponder whether you wanted it or not, and then if you did you purchased it.
Now it's all business- Gotta figure out the clue so you can be at the reveal at the exactly the right time, have your computer all geared up and ready to go, watch intently for the right URL, f5 at exactly the right time so that you see the "buy now" button exactly when it goes live and then type like crazy to get the order in...and even then it involves a little bit of luck.
I still look forward to seeing what comes, but I hope I don't like anything too much because it's a crap shoot as to whether I'd actually get it...just not as much fun as it used to be.
Ok sorry, I'm done with my Debbie Downer moment.
I think it wil be on Thursday. This would be good for the Lost fans since there are two separate Shepard Fairey print releases on Thursday at random times. This would take some of the print / EB resellers out of the picture. I will be trying for all three.
Unless we get another clue like now, it's not going to be Thursday.
@Zort those ten seconds are more like a big giant freak out that is all said and done in the name of fun.
@Capcorn yes we did. And they were fun. But that was so in the past. And was no Lost poster reveal, which we all know is clearly more exciting.
@comixguru Ahh thanks. I really do need to learn how to edit/stop/find a end, but I appreciate you appreciating my words.
I am still slightly ill from finding a slug in my carrots. Yes I thought that I had to share this with everyone here at LOST ARGs, because how gross is that? Yes, edit.
@Scoutpost I totally feel you. I really really hope that I don't want (or need, because that's a legitimate feeling, IMO) another poster, because I feel that the luck as you say, which I totally agree, is not on my side. What is that word? Anxiety anxiety. I am still really excited to see what is revealed, I just hope I don't want it. Because I'm like a child, I don't like not being able to have something I want.
Sorry for all my multiple posts. I am seriously avoiding work.
@MeSoCrazy- yes, I don't think I would have a tantrum if I didn't get a print, it's just how much the "game" has changed.
...and BTW- ewwwwwwww gross! Slugs are one of my least favorite things in the whole world! I am going to throw up for you.
SpiNYC has ignored my emails.
Anxiety anxiety - classic! lmao
Ditto what you said at 4:25, Scoutpost.
Somehow slugs get into my hanging bird feeders, ain't that a surprise when I open the lid to put more seed in. Hello slugville. :-p
I definitely agree with you, Scout, but at the same time, after the crumby time at the last NY event, I have to have some hope.
HOLY HELL. Terry O'Quinn just walked into my place of business!!!!!
John Paul, HOLY CRAP.
John-Paul are you serious?!!!! Holy Crap. Get his autograph and give him a kiss for me. ;)
@Scoutpost thank you for throwing up on my behalf. I wanted to do it myself but felt I didn't have the time with work and posting on web sites when I should be working. I apologize for the overshare, but it was simply so gross that keeping it to myself was impossible.
May the next posters be... gosh I was going to try and predict something lame and I realized I couldn't. May they not be something that causes me to throw my pretty mac at the window. After those ten seconds are over, I will truly regret my actions towards my mac. He didn't ask for this.
I can't believe someone (sorry I forgot who) managed to get Jacob's Cabin on their iphone. I wouldn't even dare try. If I fear throwing my computer, my iphone would never stand a chance. Seriously how? I'm not even all thumbs and I.... I'm totally getting ansy thinking about trying for a poster on my iphone. This is silly. Goodness gracious I shall leave you all be and go back to work. Honestly.
John-Paul, be a true Lost fan and chase him down the street and beg him for a photo.
Well now John-Paul just posted something AMAZING and I'm right back in.
There must be more to this story. And I demand that it be told.
John Paul, can you get him to post here?
John-Paul Dont leave us hanging like that... *maybe hes serving him at this very moment*
I wonder what Terrys fav poster is so far?...
Scoutpost- i totally understand how you feel and I share those same sentiments too. Chin up, friend! We'll get thru to the other side sooner than you know and we will look back fondly and remember just the good times :)
I'm so upset I don't own the Locke's Secret poster now. I would have driven home to get it.
Anyway, the story is that his wife is from the town where I work. I run the local movie theatre. So he's here with some 20 year old (who I assume to be his kids) and they are watching The Men Who Stare At Goats.
John-Paul, you are the awesomest person ever.
I think you need to show him this thread, after the movie.
John-Paul, color me green. He's my fave!!!!! :)
John-Paul, are you in Hawaii? now i have to go see men who stare at goats! (i was gonna go anyway, but now i have even more incentive to) :)
Yes, and then play ping pong with him. Wait, that doen't sound right.
email...:D
xxoo
mesocrazy, sometimes you make funny words. :)
LotteryTicket, anything can happen in Manhattan.
Cosmically Yours
@Comixguru
I actually live in MD. His wife is from here, so they own a house here.
John-Paul, I can be in MD in um, 4 hours.
Amy Lynn- drive! DRIIIIVVVE!!!
or rent that plane stat! :)
OMG, John-Paul...you've got to do something after the movie's over! At the very least get a pic!
@Scoutpost: Ditto! Things happen to fast during the reveal for this old broad! LOL I'm totally happy with my 3 I got back at the beginning before the game changed. But I follow along and have empathy or happiness for my fellow Losties!
Right that's me done for the night, be seeing you.
g'night, Zort! :)
John-Paul!! Where in Maryland??? I live in Maryland!!!
Are you sure it's Locke and not Esau? Be careful.
My old laptop is dying, so I'm going to have to go. Be back later to read all this!
I really want to see that movie. There is a book called The Field on the LU reading list that talks about the experiments the movie is about- remote seeing and all. It all comes back to LOST.
I would bet O'Quinn is there just for fun though. We all say hi!
Way to go John-Paul! Neat-o. :-)
Here it is folks. Amazing.

Terry O'Quinn is in Maryland?!?!?!? I'M in Maryland...a few blocks away from a theatre, in fact. Hmmm, I wonder..stalk, or not stalk?? He's probably not near me anyway. Whew... talked my self out of that one. I was scared for a moment there.
Anyhoo...what's he doing off the island is the big question! Is it TG break for them already? Or, um..is Terry done with taping???
That a great photo to cherish, John-Paul! Did you tell him "hi" for all of us?
John-Paul,
I am so jealous! Did you talk to him at all (other than asking to take the photo)?
sooooo behindddd, soooo behind, Is it worth the 10 seconds of fun ?? we shall see
Awesome photo John-Paul. I'm really happy for you. And maybe you'll see him again sometime if they have family there.
-Sandman
Very nice John-Paul, the highlight of our Tuesday evening! Super awesome.
Great picture-looks like he's having a good time.
Really great picture
Don't forget to watch 'V'
Since I don't have Locke's Secret, I printed out a copy of it and he signed it for me.

HOLY BACKGAMMON!!!
Terry O'Quinn -- alas I have yet to master teleportation.
John Paul you'll have to do the slobbering for ALL of us. I wonder what he think of DCaaPB?
Do you think you could to post here?
AWESOME!!!!!!!
OMG. That was amazing! I just jumped on computer to see what was going on and blamo! Amazing night, John-Paul.
Unbelievable, John-Paul!
...How did you keep your senses and manage to print a copy at your job?
Blogger John-Paul said...
Since I don't have Locke's Secret, I printed out a copy of it and he signed it for me.
OMG, this just gets better and better! Did you have dinner with him, too?
P.S. Don't forget that the Lost University Tutoring Center opens tomorrow (11/11).
Holy Batmobile John-Paul this is fantastic.
And not to be a complainer, but why can't I see your pics? It's as if I'm almost getting to experience this with you, but I'm falling a tiny bit short.
Argh! The photo links wont work for me! The dreaded 404 stikes again!
new clue
E23
East 23rd street
Anyone notice3 in all this commotion that ANOTHER CLUE IS ALREADY UP?!?!?!?!
guess thats a yes haha
Drool.
Good catche Geoffrey!
E23
;( can you see me?
Good job, LotteryTicket!
Think this moves it up to Thursday?
Oh boy. Could now mean a Thursday reveal, not Friday?...
E23 for East 23rd Street -- SPiN's address!
geez. I thought I was invisible! Locke/O'Quinn was a decoy.
And that's a ping pong ball.
The Zortacurse strikes again!! ;))
So 2 clues in a day, really within 7 hours.
So it'll most likely be a Thursday reveal. I guess they could cram another clue in in the morning and still reveal tomorrow night, but they'll probably want to avoid clashing with the first LOST U tutoring session.
Ummm, sorry -- the DROOL was for the Terrry O'Quinn siggy.
I tweeted the new clue at about the same time :)
LT I see you. Just guilty of serial posting b/c I am watching V.
I hope it's on Thursday because I'll be doing a Volunteering road trip starting Friday at noon. I really don't want to miss this!
e23=new clue
Haha @Lottery Ticket. You posted 3 times and I didn't see it.
Thursday is SO NOT a good day for me. I'm already throwing things. But it's just a post it note, which was very anti climatic as it kept sticking to me.
e23 = East 23rd St, the location of Spin New york
Yup about the address.
Or maybe that should be the Zort-o-matic Clue Generator..
Is that two clues in one day? sorry I haven't been following the website this week.
kiwi..stretch your screen out so you get the entire address..
@Maven
Yeah, the thing that had me prepared is that I've known he was from the area for a long time and I've been waiting for him to show up. Someone I know met him like 3 years ago, so I figured it would happen at some point. But trust me, I was very nervous. He's so nice though. Everything I would have imagined. All around good guy.
If my brother loved me more I would so try to convince him to go for me. And if it also wasn't his birthday. Because he's SO close. I'm calling him anyway, just so I can verbally get the rejection I already know he'll give me.
@ John-Paul - cool pics, Mr. Locke must be a cool cat to take the pic and sign an autograph.
At the rate the clues are coming out the reveal will be tomorrow (Weds).
A Wed reveal may be a bit craptastic for me.
MEL, cant make the popup window any larger! First url ends in 102?
Ahhh, got round it another way MEL - thanks for the headsup!
kiwi -- instead of just clicking on the comments bubble, right click and open the comments in a new window (or tab if you want). You should be able to expand to the entire screen then.
If not I can tweet the pic URL, if John Paul doesn't mind.
Anyway,,nice poppie up there Zort..Rememberence Day?
Anything else new ? that we don't already know,freekin brainiacs!!!
John Paul..You Da Man!..You can go home and change your underpants now. We understand. Something tells me tho.. its gonna take alot more than that to get your @#!%*! eatting grin off your face...WEAR IT FOR EVER!!! Terry has to be alrite too for puttin up with us Lost fans.
So who do we have that con get to this reveal?
oops...can
ob8..have you been sippin tea with your pinky in the air.. again?
Not my pinky...ummm...something else?
@John-Paul - AWESOME! Kudos on thinking of printing out the poster.
John Paul-
You know I thought- gee maybe someone could fax him a print out or something- but then, nahh wouldn't work. Good for you.
I'm up for a Wed or Thursday reveal. No problem.I will be there
Ob, yeah thats the one. *Note to self, engage brain before posting...*
Ok, I have a minute or two to work the Twitter list. If you are going to reveal, NYC Thursday or Friday (we'll know soon) let's have those tweeter names.
YAY Amy Lynn!
Not sure that I am following you on twitter.
John Paul..one small question then,,Terry is quite aware of these Posters? Any thing further he had to say on them?
Thanks for being there.
L_T, mine is room317
Following you, Amy Lynn.
If it's Thursday...do you think it would be in the evening NY time to take the place of the postponed Singles Night?
I guess part of me is wondering if they closed tonight to set up some kind of reveal for tomorrow morning. That would be OK by me.
New clue is up. E23.
I like your thinking maven. That could well be right. What EST time would that be again?
And Spin is on E. 23rd. So that's that.
The Singles Night registry costs $10. They run from 6pm to midnight. We haven't had an evening event in a long time (since #1?).
Maven -- Single night would have been tonight and was changed to Thursday.
Amy Lynn -- that's exactly what I was wondering, even emailed SPiN about last night -- no reply of course ;)
a bingo ping pong ball?
Friday Night's Dirty Dozen event runs from 9pm to midnight. And it's free.
except i cant spell
Geez I hope its not Wed am opening time - thats what, 11hrs from now?? *Brain smoking with time diff equations...*
Amy Lynn hope you don't mind that I'm following you. Or at least I hope it's you. Either way I'm sure it's someone great.
ObFuSc8: Sorry....I got confused....which I easily do.
13 hours kiwi.
No worries Maven -- me too!
This time it's going to be great for sure Amy Lynn. Can't imagine they're going to mess up sending stuff to Susan Sarandon.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwICmPYCXdM
watch this! WE LIKE LOST (parody of we like sports by the lonely island)! its awesome!
So do we expect a Thursday event?
Will we have some NY Losties in attendance?
Would like some twitter names of those who may attend.
@adamlunceford
Actually Janet W Louise is the scientist at G.E who invented the most Energy Efficient Light bulb,,her 23rd try. So all the incandescent lite bulbs in Times Square are going to be replaced tomorrow with the new E23 bulbs. When they turn the switch, somewhere around dusk,,somewhere in there will be included a LOST Reveal. The same reveal for half the cost!
@theotherben, haha I posted that yesterday. That video is AWESOME!
LOL Mel ;)
I saw that video earlier....hysterical!
Okay, i've been out of town this past week and didn't know if the lost arg community had seen it, sorry i'm late... ha ha
MEL *heart* rofl I hate those damn bulbs. Times Squares going to be in the dark (more ways that one) while they slowly, slowly, slowly come to life. Just think of the shenanigans.
