Deep in the Heart of Texas



Boston Friday, New York Saturday, Austin Sunday
Looks likes Jake was doing the Planes,(Austin) Trains (Boston) and Automobiles (New York) thing this past weekend. Ending up deep in the heart of Texas at Austin City Limits.

I wonder why? Was it Wilco calling, or just needing some Dylan?
Perhaps.
Or could it be he wanted to catch up with his favorite Austinite?

The stars at night are big and bright ....

UPDATE: Is that boy in the blue shirt to the right of Drew & Justin at ACL, a clean shaven Jake? (photo: Pink is the New Blog)

Second Sighting of Jake at ACL

Wow, how cool that Jake is now in Austin! :) He has been a busy boy this week. ;) Now hopefully he will get to see Austin in Austin. ;D

Btw, thanks to WDW, we have a totally adorkable picture of Jake in Michael Stipe's glasses and for Special, Jake in a Red Sox cap! See it HERE. And I am totally excited to hear about the Jake/Tobey M movie!

I hope this Jake sighting is true. (The troll is frantically trying to discredit it on WFT.) I'd hate to think of semi-naked Austy wandering around sexily and nobody appreciating it :-)

Blue Velvet said...

ITA, convinced. Hey, but even if Jake wasn't there I bet a lot of other people appreciated the view.

BTW, glad to see that Austy hasn't lost his quirky fashion sense.

Jake in Austin has turned up on a second blog.

Hjulia found the sighting on the second blog here.

I love Austin's blue top. That is wild.

Love the Jake in Austin sightings! Plus, great Austin pics. And I keep smiling when I see the pic of him in Michael Stipe's glasses. :) I have to say I love his look with the short hair and scruff a lot!

The girl in the blue/black stripes definitely looks related to Austin. They share facial features but I can't put her as the same girl in the white top because white top girl looks broader.

Thank you for posting the link to the second blog--clearly Jake was there (maybe he came on Sunday?) for ACL.

What makes me laugh is the insistence on WFT that Austin had nothing to do with Jake's presence there--it was all about ACL--plus how we do know Jake even saw Austin?

But if this were Reese instead of Austin at ACL and these Jake sightings happened, the fangurls would be gushing about the Jeese trysts.

It seems like Jake did make the trip on Sunday. Again I don't think it was about the lineup at ACL that had him flying down after such a busy weekend. I think there was someone not on the lineup that was the real draw.

Is there a name we can call you? A name is so much cooler than a number -although I agree with George Constanza Seven is a kind of a great name. Even if you pick it for one post, one hour or one day.

Special K said...

Thanks TBS for the link to WDW and for giving me the heads up on the pics. (Again gold stars to WDW) Of course that Red Sox pic will have to have a post of its own.

And Jake in Frames, how honking huge are those glasses on his face. But I do have to say I have a real soft spot for "boys with bad eyes". If you hit the yesterday's Frames picture and see Mario Batali's picture in them, you have to laugh at the difference between the fit on Mario's face and Jake's.

frenchy said...

I made this special request in the previous thread by mistake: how about playing "Happy Together" in honor of their little ACL "reunion"?

Special K said...

Frenchy

Any particular artist or version?

Florida Tom said...

Jake definitely has a chain around his neck in the pic with the Red Sox cap. I wonder what is hanging on the end. A possible matching band. If we see Jake with a ring around his neck like the one Austin has on I would jump for joy.

frenchy said...

I only have the original in mind now, by The Turtles or something? Not sure though...

frenchy said...

Maybe that hanging ring will mean more shirtless pics. Let's hope! :D

Anonymous said...

Special, yes the frames are big on Jake, especially compared to Mario. I can't imagine, Michael Stipe, who is so tiny compared to Jake, wearing those big suckers, LOL.

Blue Velvet said...

One of the anon posters on WFT emailed Michael Barnes, the Austin360 blogger, to ask about the Jake sighting and the time discrepancy. Here's his answer:

On the time discrepancy:
"Good question. Our blogging software logs when we start the blog. But then there are often additions, updates, etc. that seem appropriate for a posted blog rather than a new one. Hope that helps."

On the Jake sighting:
"I got it from several local sources. No photos yet though.
Austin Nichols was in town too, if that helps. I know they hang out together. Feel free to contact me if you find out anything. I'll link to your site!"

Special K said...

I am still trying to get a download that will work Frenchy. Don't think I have forgotten.

Ugh! music players

frenchy said...

Don't worry if you don't find any Spesh. Pleasure comes in many forms and I've been drooling to my heart's content recently. :)

Anonymous said...

Is that Jake?

I'm not actually 100% sure just going on that one picture. Of course, the person who tok the picture probably had a better view.

Anonymous said...

Frenchy and Special, I had this song running through my mind over the weekend, and I almost requested it! One of my favorite happy in love songs, especially for J&A. ;)

Anonymous said...

Damn you Drew Barrymore for standing in the way of a possible Jake picture. I always liked her before this. ;-)

Special K said...

Well, the dark washed jeans, the build, the haircut -- to me it looks like Jake.

Anonymous said...

"Looks like" I agree SK. But I wouldn't swear on it.

Anonymous said...

I also really think it looks like jake, but can`t be sure. Wish we could see his face:)

Blue Velvet said...

I'm not sure about that being Jake either, but who knows. Hope a more conclusive photo surfaces.

On the Austin front, there's still a chance that he may end up working with Milch again. We know that Milch loves working with the same actors on different projects and it seems that he and Austin really bonded while filming JFC. Here's some recent info from Willie Garson about a future project with Milch:
"As for future endeavors, the former “John From Cincinnati” star said he’s kept in contact with David Milch, the producer of HBO’s half-season flop and looks forward to working with him on a possible project early next year."

Anonymous said...

So Jake is going to end up being in a million different sightings on Sunday night and we won't get a photo of any of them so we'll never truly know.

The only definite thing is that Austin has taken off the big blue ring and replaced it with a less obvious ring around his neck.

If it's romantically based, the burning question is whether the rings are from the same person or the new ring is from a new person?

I'm totally intrigued by the rings

Special K said...

Now this is getting interesting:

We have multiple sighting of Jake in Austin in the evening. Pictures of him mid to late morning in NY. And now People magazine is saying this:

"• While much of Hollywood flocked to the Emmy Awards, Jake Gyllenhaal hit up West Hollywood eatery Il Sole for a dinner meeting. The Rendition star delved into a seven-layer lasagna while he chatted business."

People's Caught in the Act

Now isn't it interesting that it took took two days for this to hit people, but only one day since it hit all over the Net that he was in Austin?

Blue Velvet said...

I also find the timing and the coincidence of the Il Sole sighting very interesting, Special. It's also making me wonder a bit about the date and time on the 9-16 brunch photos. I'd love for an identifiable photo of Jake at ACL to show up.

frenchy said...

Special you're a doll!!!

I agree Netb, "Happy Together" is truly ageless. :)

Love the Austin-Milch connection. I was just re-watching some JFC episodes recently and it would be so great if these two reunited (I also hope HBO puts JFC on DVDs).

So what's the consensus, one or two rings? I don't think I'll have the patience to use both singular/plural forms in future posts. :D

Wicked said...

Of course, the wonderful Tom texted me about the Jake in Austin sightings. My internet access is limited so I can't look at them. Here are my criteria for a sighting to be credible- blogger does not seem to have an agenda of any kind and no extraordinary details to the sighting (like Jake and the sigther became best friends or something like that). Based on this criteria, is this one credible?

Anonymous said...

On Austin's chain? One ring. The shadow cast on his chest gives the illusion of a thicker ring, or two rings. If you look at that picture long enough, Frenchy, you'll see!

Back to this person who looks like Jake. The build is very similar, but facially he looks slightly different. But hard to be certain in profile. Anybody want to do an enlargement and comparison for us lazier posters? :-)

frenchy said...

If you look at that picture long enough, Frenchy, you'll see!

Hard to concentrate on the ring with a pic like that. ;)

That sighting sounds credible to me but then again I did not pay close attention to times, flight durations, speed at which Jake ate at that restaurant, etc. like others did.

Anonymous said...

Hmm - it's a little bit like him but I'm not sure either.

Anonymous said...

Wicked this is all the second blogger says:

"So this weekend was the ACL fest. Thousands and thousands of people crowd into Zilker Park in the 95+ degree heat. At the end of every day we would return home with sore feet and legs, sun burns, dirty and sweaty - and yet we willingly went back each day. Why? Because there was some pretty phenomenal music there - if you don't believe me - perhaps the presence of Jake Gyllenhaal, Drew Barrymore, Matthew McConahey (sp?) will help (yes, I did see Jake! and the mac commerical guy who is dating drew barrymore)."

Anonymous said...

Did anyone stop to think that maybe Jake and Austin aren't dating but are really part of the same terrorist cell?

Anonymous said...

The People sighting sounds like PR to me. How did they know it was business, and isn't Sunday night a funny time for that. Il Sole is also the restaurant named in the Jeese birthday celebration. It's not like with Noah B. where Jake was probably just in town for a day or two. And I think the brunch if it occurred was probably early in the day. As I posted on WFT, I tried to go to August once on a Sunday, and it was already packed with a long line waiting for tables at 10:30 in the morning. Yes, I know Jake is a celebrity so the fact that they don't take reservations probably doesn't mean anything in his case, but I can't quite see Jake hanging around on the sidewalk like that for a table to open up just to go to breakfast.

As for the picture, I can't tell if it is Jake.

I almost forgot today is Talk Like a Pirate Day. So to celebrate I give you this:

New Austin Picture from ACL

Anonymous said...

Oh he is PRETTY!! Wow. And that gal looks happy to be photographed with him (looks like a fan).

Anonymous said...

That picture is great.

He's still rocking that chain. I guess we'll have to see if it becomes the new blue ring.

Anonymous said...

Austin is truly gorgeous. I've said it before, but I'll say it again, lucky old Jake (if they are a couple obviously).

Anonymous said...

Austin has the build and chest to get away with the open shirts like that. I bet Austin can even do a good butt crack!

Anonymous said...

Okay! I didn't mean to phrase it that way. I guess it was subconscious. ;-)

Anonymous said...

Plumbers crack. That's what we call it over here.

I imagine that's what you were referring to, right Press Now?

Anonymous said...

Damn Austin, couldn't you open another button and perhaps have us take a better look at the ring on the chain. Damn you! :-)

Anonymous said...

Yes. It does seem as if Austin would have a hard time finding cloths that fit. I think his waist is very tiny possibly 30? and his shoulders and chest are very wide. Hence the pants sliding down the hips... hm...

Anonymous said...

Geez that Gawker article is pretty nasty and bitter.

Anonymous said...

Those ears always makes me smile:D They are so cute!!! I`m so glad we have finally got some new Austin-pics! What a cutie!:)

Anonymous said...

I think it is more an issue with the waist being tiny and him being very tall at the same time. So either the pants end up short, or too large!

Anonymous said...

The ears are unique, and also very very cute. He is just absolutely adorable.

Anonymous said...

will think of a name soon, and Austin is lucky to have gorgeous Jake.

Anonymous said...

Thanks for the Pirate Convention. I always thought Peter and cute and funny in that skit, which I haven't seen since it aired. On the other hand, boy is that gawker article mean. Sounds like maybe the writer is a bit jealous. But I got to finish the posts on a high after seeing the new Austy picture. It is nice that people other than us Tbers are giving Austin some fan love.

Special K said...

I think there is a lot of Austy love out there. I love the one blogger (AV Onion) that said he seemed really approachable.

The people who he works with love him, TB's love him and now more people are finding out how great he is.

Anonymous said...

I hope the flickr pic appears somewhere else - I'm not allowed to look at it :(

Special, someone on HBO said he'd be sure to get work with Milch again because he took direction so easily. I love reading good things about Austin :)

Thanks for the new Austin pic! Austin seems to like showing off his rings. ;)

Can't say I blame him.

Anonymous said...

I think ACL will go down as one of those things that we hope Jake was at but won't really know.

But everytime I look at this picture of Drew Barrymore, I'm saddened because I realise we've spent the best part of a year on Brentwood Barbie when we could have been talking about a real woman. One who isn't afraid to fail, one who isn't afraid to show her flaws. One who doesn't need a perfect image to sell her movies.

So sad.

Anonymous said...

Of course it's possible Jake was at ACL, to see Austin, see his friends and see Wilco and other bands he might like. Where's the mystery? And of course it's in PR's interests to put him anywhere BUT at ACL or anywhere near Mr Nichols, and have him safely in LA at Il Sole probably non-existent meetings waiting for Reese with a rose in his mouth.

It's just cat and mouse all the time in this game.

Austin is very proud of (both) his rings. Sweet.
