Just add water

It's Friday and can only mean one thing...

Austin

 

And for Austin everything is better at the beach. 

H 2 0hhhhhhhhhhh

OMG Olympics

Creative Crate Climbing.  A combination of dramatic reading, artistic interpretation and climbing.

It is a combination of skills with a degree of difficult that is based on the Jenga like construction and the oral composition.  (It's more than just soliloquies and Goonies moments)

All the B's a buzz

With rehearsals beginning tomorrow was it was bikes and beaches for Jake this past weekend.

Getting  a little fun and sun in, and maybe with the small and tall too.  And a little memory making.

That was after Jake took to the streets. He is riding a touring bike around Brooklyn on to the set of his mom's film.

Look how thin and narrow those wheels are.  You are going to feel bump and bounce from the street.  And forget about potholes hit one and you will bend that rim up but good.

But no more cruising on past.  The real work begins. Tomorrow is back to business and a new challenge for Jake. The American stage.  And Jake is ready for it.  It's a whole new chapter and no one knows where this could lead for him. 

Tickets went on sale today for the American premiere of Nick Payne’s If There Is I Haven’t Found It Yet, featuring Annie Funke, Michelle Gomez, Tony Award winner Brían F. O’Byrne and Jake. Previews begin August 24th at Off- Broadway’s Laura Pels Theatre. Opening Night is Sept. 20 and runs for 13 weeks through Nov. 25.

Sand 'em smooth

As much as things change somethings remain the same.





All this sand and Jake such the woodworker made me think of this.

"I was on the beach - a bit secluded area about two miles north of the Ritz Carlton- Laguna Niguel. I was there with my bf - we like the beach and no one is ever in that corner - the water not quite as easy to deal with but fine if you are not planning on serious swimming or water sports. So we hear some sounds and we see that there are two guys totally making out but they are in shorts and tee shirts so don't get all hyper. And as soon as they hear us they quickly separate and pretend that nothing was going on. I guess because we were behind some rocks they didn't realize that we saw them.

As we get closer we realize one of them is Jake and I have no idea who the other guy is. Sandy hair kinda short and wavy. Couldn't see eye color because both put their sunglasses on really quickly. and Jake put on this baseball cap as we got closer but we already realized it was him.

[I]We probably should have said something but it was kinda awkward. They just nodded and we nodded and kept going. As soon as we were about 20 feet away, they quickly picked up whatever they had and left."

At the time there was all kinds of debate about the sandy short and wavy haired beach bud. But looking at the pictures from Informers makes you wonder if there was that was in the early blonding of the tall Texan. Because we know from Austin himself he does change his hair for the auditions, why not then.

Just a little sandy.
