A little different Austin Friday, we are talking Austin City Limits on this Austin Friday. We know that Austin loves music, and has gone in to ACL in the past. Do you need some reminders? Ok if we must we must.
Austin is known as the live music capital in the world. Those outside of Texas, and the U.S. take it up with the Texans about that title. ACL is one of premiere music festivals in the US, along with Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, and Coachella.
ACL brings together more than 130 bands on eight stages, including rock, country, folk, indie, Americana, hip-hop, reggae, and bluegrass for the three day show. Some of this year's line up includes: Kings of Leon,Sonic Youth, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Pearl Jam, Dave Matthews Band, Thievery Corporation, Ben Harper and Relentless 7, The Levon Helm Band, The Decemberists, B-52's, John Legend, Medeski, Martin & Wood, Grizzly Bear, Clutch, Arctic Monkeys to name a few.
But ACL doesn't really begin until Asleep at the Wheel plays Miles and Miles of Texas, and then ACL has "official" started.
It can be hot, hot, hot the last two weeks of September in Austin. Hot enough to make an Austinite lose their shirt Ahem. But this year is not the case, with ACL moving to the first weekend in October for beat the chance for wicked hot. Tt looks like it will be in the high 70's and may break 80, but scattered showers are predicted for Saturday and Sunday. Sure that Austin could find still find some reason to lose his, if he was there.
Austin loves his hometown, you can tell from interviews andis never shy to talk about Austin (the city). There is no more perfect match than Austin from Austin. Warm, friendly, welcoming, a little bit funky, a little bit arty, and doing their own thing.

Thanks for keeping us updated on the March PG. Oh yeah got know about when Prairie Girl meets Jersey Tom. : D
ReplyDeleteACL is one festival that I really want to go to, but I am like shrimp I don't do heat well. I have done my time at outdoor shows in 100+F but damn its not pretty. But then again is anything in 100+F.
Writing from a friend's where's there's a cat, and wondering why I weezing from their computer. Found the reason. Cat just jumped up here in front of the monitor and sat. Must... get...meds... now ....where's that inhaler? : )
*just what I need, another nap place*
ReplyDeleteAre you allergic to cats, Special?
ReplyDeleteOhhh I am so glad everybody here thinks Jake is gay and Reese is his beard. That means I don’t have to think of their doing terrible things to eachother. And THAT means I don’t have to get vommitywomitty and upchuck and get the vapors and take a pill and lie down and try to get some terrible images out of my mind. It would be JUST AWFUL to think those two were…having….oh I’m getting faintywainty just saying it…..SEX…together. Oh, Lord, now it’s coming up….arrrrrrgggghhhhhhhhhhhh right onto the carpet. I must lie down now and take a pill.
ReplyDeleteTroll, take a hike.
ReplyDeleteOh please don’t say he isn’t gay. My sanity depends upon his being gay. If he isn’t gay think what he and she might be doing together. Ohhhhhh it is so awfullywaffley just to imagine……..when I do I get sickywicky and begin to feel vomitty and here here….oh God….here it comes….up….up…aaaaarrrrrrghhhhhhhhhhhh…….oh it was so awfully awfully. Oh please say he is gay gay gay gay gay fomance fomance fomance…i don’t want to get vomitty again and…..oh please don’t ever say he isn’t gay………
ReplyDeletePoor babblers! LOL
ReplyDeletesilly babbling trolly lolly babblers LOL
ReplyDeleteI'm glad Austin's current role allows him to have a decent haircut. I'm not a fan of the big updo he was sporting in that first picture, but the ring around his neck more than makes up for it.
ReplyDeleteWe've been having new flooring installed and my house is a total wreck. Dust everywhere, everything out of place. It will be worth it in the end but I have at least another week of disruption to live with.
Austin's hair in OTH is his best look; that is one thing I don't miss about JFC.
ReplyDeleteBrave woman M. We really need to redo our kitchen, but the fear of the disruption, not to mention the fact that everything in NYC is ten times the hassle it is elsewhere, keeps holding us back. And with a small NY apt. you can't really hide from the construction site. But one of these days the ancient fridge is going to die, and nothing new will fit in the space, and then we're going to be very sorry.
Come over to the dark side, it's a lot more fun.
ReplyDeleteWhen there is a lull on this site and on OMG, TB's pretend to be trolls and post crap like this, it's so WTF when Dany encouraged that to create traffic. Lame.
ReplyDeleteIgnore, they are not trolls but bored TB's.
12:16 PM,
ReplyDeleteWhat's next? Babblers never posted on OMG and WFT? LMAO
Blind Vice: Toothy Tile Trading Coke for Cracking Up?
ReplyDeleteNo wonder the troll was worked up, probably got wind of the new TT item.
ReplyDeleteWish I could say a few words about Ted's latest but I blew my lunch hour on writing, LOL!
ReplyDeleteWill have to later
I'm still pondering it before I start flapping.
ReplyDeleteOne sort of odd bit, last night I dreamed Austin came out.
Maybe there's hope for Jake yet if he realizes the bearding has not gotten him anywhere, career-wise.
ReplyDeleteAnd not sure what Ted is getting at with reinvented relationship. A reference perhaps to being so far in the closet, plus the long-distance nature of it, means they're never together. Despite Ted I still have my doubts as to whether they're still together. Maybe reinvented means they're just friends now???
Urban Dictionery says nee is Dutch for no, also slang for never, no, not any.
ReplyDeleteAnd then there's this definition which cracks me up:
look at; using the chin as a pointer
^^It's also used for indicating a spouse's "maiden" name - as in TT and GG are married. Hooray! :)
ReplyDeleteThere is a blog out there that Sophia Bush was spotted at the Austin, TX airport.
ReplyDeleteJust passingby, passing some information on.
If there really is such a thing then you must have a link.
ReplyDeleteI'm still waiting for that link Passingby.
ReplyDeleteDrumming fingers.....
No, no, passingby doesn't have the time to provide links to back up what she claims! She's only passing by, you see.
ReplyDeleteShe doesn't even have the time to check whether her "friends" stories are true or just copied together from different places, come on!
I found the blog for her though, here it is:
"I saw Sophia Bush ... at the airport ... in Austin, TX today ... Oct 2, 2009"
Hey, thanks, Stubborn! Coming through once again.
ReplyDeleteWell, here I am at work after getting dumped on doing some others' work so that put me behind. Then everyone skips out on me because, of course, it's Friday!! grrrrrrr!
I get the vibe they're still together. A part of me hopes that Jake wants to proudly say Austin is his guy.
Heck, I'd be getting darn tired of the whole thing too, after 3 years. And for what? What has it gotten besides Prince of Persia?
If it is all true, I will stand behind Jake 100% and say go toothy, go! Throw caution to the wind.
LOL, there's no backing out of this thing right now, though. Are you kidding? Disney would just have a hissy fit, not to mention Ice Maiden. Man, there's two big bats standing right over his head.
The debate over whether Toothy & GG are still together goes on.
ReplyDeleteFor myself, I would think they are no longer together if not for 3 things: Big Blue, the fact that Jake & Austin's geographical paths have seemed to cross with silence from both their camps during those periods, and lastly, Ted never really has come out & said GG & TT are split.
Enema Wattsun, Just loved it. I was on the floor laughing my ass off and I almost upchucked. My stomach was hurting. Great Laugh.
ReplyDeleteWoohoo! The 5 o'clock whistle has sounded and it is officially the weekend at least in these parts it is.
ReplyDeleteI have got to share something. I heard from a reader today, first time from this person. They liked the story and they live in Moscow.
Moscow, isn't that something? I was just floored. Moscow is 9 hours ahead of my time. She said it was raining there at the time that she wrote her comment and it was evening already. I googled Moscow and sure enough, rain all through today and like the next five or so days.
It just amazes me how the internet has enabled all of us to talk to one another even though we live in different countries. I've talked to great people who live in Italy, Germany, and France and I so wish I spoke different languages. Luckily they know enough English that we can all talk. It's just a blast.
But I was just so blown away by hearing from someone in Moscow who love Jack & Ennis, too.
I don't know if anyone cares about that, lol, but I had to share it.
;)
I have written several letters to Ted asking whether GG is still with Toothy, including a yes or no, no wriggling out of it question. I'm betting others have also asked. Leads me to think Ted doesn't really know and/or has heard conflicting gossip.
ReplyDeleteSomeone on WFT noted that the Toothy item is similar to the item Ted posted about Jake a week or so ago. Reminds me of how he used to do that in the old days on a regular basis with Jake and TT items.
ReplyDeleteStill don't think Sophia is truly a beard, one or two photos so people can speculate and drum up attention for something your both in does not a beard make. I bet we don't see any more of this. And Ted's take on nobody caring if Jake were to blow Goose's beard makes me think that too.
I think Ted also makes it pretty clear that Jake went the bearding route to change his image and get work, and that it has failed. I've got to think if Jake really is at this point thinking it has done nothing for his career that (1) PoP and Brothers are not going to change that, and/or are not going to get audiences, are not good, and (2) that he is not getting the roles he wants.
Ted constantly refers to TT and GG being a couple, the latest being in the new Blind Item.
ReplyDeleteSometimes he's even hinting at a marriage (like someone pointed out, "neé" is the french word that you use when you refer to someones maiden name when they changed their last name after marriage).
You can doubt whether his informations are true, but he is clearly stating that TT and GG are still together and interested in keeping it that way.
That's one of the things I'm going on, stubborn. That he has not officially said they're kaput.
ReplyDeleteI would think if he had gotten some kind of wind of that news, he would have made that announcement.
Don't think I haven't been around, merely not as close to somewhere to post a comment.
ReplyDeleteFrom the way Ted wrote, he is still implying they are together as couple. The reinvention could mean that they are both working parents, rather than one working and one being at home, and now familia is on the road with one of them. Just a thought. Or it could mean that both of them have public gfs now and maybe Jake doesn't like seeing his man with a gf, now that the shoe's on the other foot.
I think from the last few sets of pictures we have seen a marked difference of atttitude of Reeke, both look like they would prefer a root canal.
Jake does have a tendency to act out sometimes, but wonder if this time, his group doesn't have a case to stand against it.
The latest BV explains the bashing by trolls the last few days. Makes sense to me that E leaks info to PR ahead of time, just like gossip leaks to Ted. I was happy to see the comments. The overwhelming majority said come out already Jake, you'll be happier. I have never given up hope that Jake will come out. You can have a change of heart at a moments notice. I've seen it happen many times.
ReplyDeleteDestiny, re the floors, I can attest to the fact that everything in my house has a layer of light grit on it, even items that were covered. And I am not exaggerating when I say everything. At least one more week to go, maybe a bit more.
I'll be sending come out thoughts to Jake all weekend. I wonder if he read blogs. Since Austin blogs himself on occasion, I'm guessing he does and passes on the public sentiment to Jake.
That's what I was afraid of M! Not to mention with a kitchen we'd probably be looking at months of eating out and/or not having much of a kitchen, because in NY nothing ever gets done quickly.
ReplyDeleteTed has not repeatedly referred to TT and GG still being a couple, there's the "wised up" bit, nee could refer to marriage, or it could mean "no partnership" and reinvented relationship could just as easily be a separated couple sharing custody of BT --speaking of which, odd that there was no mention of a baby. And what about that bit about how TT used to be happy/not worry about his abs when he was with Gray Goose--that seems to be hinting he's not with him. Now whether that means relationship-wise, or physically separated due to their work and Jake's bearding and campaign to make him straight, well, I'm on the fence on that one.
Sure wish Ted would just answer the damn question instead of skating around the issue.
I also do wonder if Jake isn't jealous/worried about what Austin is up to in NC, if they are still together.
ReplyDeleteThe “she’s a beard” crowd are mentally sick. Emotionally too. They want her to be a beard because they can’t stand to think these two love each other and have sex together. That gets their goat completely. Insane jealousy raises its ugly head and the “beard” idea come forth. They repeat their lie so often they begin to believe it and then they feel better. Comforted by their lie.
ReplyDeleteSo, Enema, do you think about Jake and Reese having sex?
ReplyDeleteI repeat that the Jake is gay crowd are simply silly pathetic nobodies eaten up with jealousy to think that these two are in love and having sex together. They can’t stand that so they tell themselves their romance is false. That makes the pathetic silly fools eaten up with jealousy feel better. They can’t be happy and can’t have sex because he is gay. There, now I am not so jealous. Feel lots better. Lying to oneself is a classic way for fools to feel better.
ReplyDeletethought process of the 'Jake is gay' crew: I am secretly crazy about jakey and I just can’t stand to think that he is in bed at night with Reese having sex when he really should be here with me. Oh this torments me so I can hardly sleep. I know, I’ll tell myself he’s gay which means he can’t be having sex with Reese.So I will repeat a thousand times to myself and in public that he is gay and their relationship is fake and this will make me feel sooooo much better.
ReplyDeleteDiagnosis: classic class of projection.
ReplyDeleteOh thank you thank you for that. I got through the night without dreaming a second time of his….oh I hate to say it is is so awful… sticking his immaculate thingy into her dirty what’s it, and managed to sleep a bit. But if today the image ever comes up of him and her doing it, I’ll just go crazy and have to run down to my shrink and get him to exorcise that idea from my head. He IS gay, isn’t he? Tell me that a thousand times, and that means he and she can’t….you know….do it. Right? Oh my sanity is so precarious. If I ever thought this was NOT a fomance, I’d just diiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeee
ReplyDeleteif you don’t see the deeper meaning of things and want to suppress difficult things so they will go away, your'e not a true believer. You do believe Jake is gay, don’t you? If not, you don’t belong to the club. LOL
ReplyDeleteNot sure I have the time to try to reason with Enema - and shouldn't she be working on the next HP movie? BUT ANYWAY: Errrm no, that's definitely not why people are on OMG, nor why they are believers. I'd say 'nice try', but it isn't :)
ReplyDeleteThat said, if Reeke floats your boat, why not start a Reeke is hot blog?
London.. I just scrolled past those last comments.
ReplyDeleteHaving read Ted, and all the comments, I just feel really sorry for Jake. ok, he's been an idiot, who went down a certain route for seems to be ambition, hunger for fame and greed. I know its easy to say that he's getting what he deserves, but certain temptations are very hard to resist, especially someone with Jake's (to me anyway) slightly flaky personality. Whatever, he's obviously paying the price now, and it seems like a very high price.
Reeke seems to have turned into a greek tragedy, and we know how they usually end.
Hopefully things will turn out okay (and, that Reese ends up covered in the biggest egg on her face, i know that's spiteful but what the heck). You just have to hope for Jake's sake that Austin has stuck around and will be there to pick up the pieces.
That's how I felt about it too, Meg. :(
ReplyDeleteWouldn't anyone love it if Ted would just do a sit down and lay everything out? lol.
ReplyDeleteThe guy rarely knows how to give a straight answer. The most direct one he's given was when Tom wrote in and asked if there was a BT, yes or no and Ted said "Yes."
Now that I look back on that one, I ought to cut that out & frame it. A straight answer!
I agree with you, Meg. It very well could be a Greek tragedy which is sort of what Ted talked about a couple of years ago when this whole thing started out, I think.
Yup, here I am up & at 'em already. Gotta be on Saturdays to talk with all our friends across the Atlantic. It's about the only chance I get.
ReplyDeleteDestiny, I didn't notice the non mention of a BT until you said something. This item really seemed to be just all about Jake himself. And the oddest mention in it is him obssessing about his abs?
I might get scoffed at for mentioning it, but I think it bears throwing out there.You know who has one of the best 6 packs out there without it being so obviously pronounced as they were in PoP, and that is Buckles. I think that is one of his standout features.
And though Ted already said No to Buckin, if I was Jake, I know I wouldn't be totally all warm & fuzzy knowing Mr. Shirtless was always around Austin's set.
Not to mention that at least Austin & Sophia are very good friends and Austin gets to be with her whereas Jake is stuck with you know who.
And finally, before I'm off, looking back at these latest two visits by the IM to Jake? That she's willing to grit her teeth through no throngs of pap flashes makes me think that Reese needs him. She is the one doing the clinging now. And 3, even 2 years ago, I know I wouldn't have even thought that of her. But those yogurt pics turned the tide for me. That plus the NYC trip. Because my feeling is that Big Sis said no to pap pics. But Reese is still willing to barge in and the whole thing makes her look like a tagalong. Because she can't get her own guy (and the only other one who apparently can tolerate her is already married), all she has is Jake now. I don't know that the word combination of Reese and needy is that farfetched right now.
In the phrase "As our beloved Mr. T's same-sex desires (and née partnership) have been cast as far back in the closet as Kevin Spacey appears to be, Toothy's extremely tight band of friends are fretting for the fella's emotional well-being?and rightfully so" there's a link to, well, Mr.T. Is that intentional or just a mistake?
ReplyDeleteTed will never give a straight answer PG, because there would be nothing let to talk about and laying out all the facts would be too close to reveealing the id of the subject. He has to play with the presentation of the information, giving the read just enough for them to figure out, want to keep reading and to stay out of legal telling his can't say it.
ReplyDeleteI think Ted does use the Buckley thing to play into the chatter that is happening on the web. Ted is no fool. Come on after all this time, he or one of his interns haven't stumbled up on WFT, WFT2, or OMG. you know they have, and a blogs just about one of the bigget BVs you've written, you know they are checking it out. He has put the kibosh on the Austin and Rob, but using a mention helps spice up the BV because he knows what his readers will do with it.
As for Tooth and his Goose, still together.
Think the reinvention could mean that about Austin stepping out with Sophia, maybe that is something Jake didn't want to have that happen. Maybe that was something that he wanted to avoid Austin having to do.
I always felt that the tiny dancer always needed Jake more, because she just wanted more, more more. (attention, pictures, press) I agree that NYC went bust, and big sis did put her foot down. But it makes me wonder if the dancer just showed up, it almost seems like that with the yogurt pictures too, like she found where he was going to be, invited herself and showed up, because he was fed up with and told her he didn't want her to come.
