Mark your calendars: 'Lost' fan event planned for 2014

Whitney Matheson | USA TODAY

It's time to go back to the island.

Believe it or not, next year marks 10 years since Lost debuted and won our hearts. Because the fans were such an integral part of the series, it makes sense that a massive fan gathering is being planned for 2014.

LOST 2014: The 10-Year Fan Gathering will take place Sept. 20-22 in Oahu, Hawaii, where much of the ABC drama was filmed. While details are still being worked out, organizers hope to feature tours of the show's filming locations and a special screening of the pilot.

And while they're clear that this is "not meant to be a cast reunion," it sounds like LOST 2014 may include some notable guests. Fingers crossed for Hurley and Ben Linus ...

Registration for the gathering is slated to open shortly after the new year. Travel deals will be posted soon as well; until then, you may wanna set aside some vacation time.

The event is co-organized by longtime Pop Candy reader Jo Garfein, who readers may remember as commenter "jopinionated" on the blog back in the day. Jo went on to create her own awesome Lost website, and she also co-founded the charity Cancer Gets LOST.

I'll keep you posted on the event, but you should bookmark lost2014.com and follow @2014LOST on Twitter. Merchandise is already on sale, in case you want to mark LOST 2014 on your LOST 2014 calendar!
