Hello, Thank you, Nice to meet you

Broadway is celebrating tonight with the Tony Awards but OMG is celebrating something even bigger than a Tony that's also Broadway related.

When OMG met Jake on Broadway.

Yes met Jake - not just going seeing Jake on Broadway in Sunday in the Park with George (which made this fan so proud of your performance) - but met you Jakey.

(Waiting Jake's team to have a moment or the vapors or a scream or scrambling like it's DEFCON 1)

Jakey we met at the stage door after a matinee.


 

I had seen the show the night before and your performance was moving - your love of acting and the interplay of the energy of the audience apparent - your singing top notch - you claimed your seat at the Broadway table with Sondheim!

You came out that afternoon and were kind gracious to sign autographs.
 
 

And standing right there you  never even know that Special K was in front of you asking you to sign her Playbill and thanking you in return.

The world didn't stop spinning, nothing exploded, it was just a moment between a fan and a performer they've admired for years.

Thanks Jakey


PS:  Next time we'll have to talk about all those stories from friends in the industry about you being a bit of screamer  (tsk tsk - I thought that was just at home with a certain tall Texan



;)

Dental Records

Many think that's Jake's checklist is this:

But this is more like it:

There is some speculation that this chart gets another tooth.  What leads to this speculation is a congratulations on Austin's fb page over a new Capricorn or Sagittarius from a friend of friend from TX.

One thing for sure there is more than one tooth that has come in for Jake and Austin on that chart. And if so what's one more when there's plenty of room.

Another sure thing is that Jake has wrapped filming Stronger here in Boston.   The production has been much more under the radar than Wahlberg's Patriot's Day movie which had their shooting schedule announced practically everyday on the news.

There were mentions here and there of Jake filming and occasional sighting of Jake in Boston and the area, but as many you would suspect since Stronger has been filming here since April.

Jake plays Jeff Bauman and the film focus on the story of his resilience after losing both of his legs during the Boston Marathon bombing and coming back stronger.  Many people in New England have expressed more interest in this smaller film focused on Jeff that reliving the events of the bombing the film.  Time will tell how both movies are received.

With filming wrapped, Jake already here and it is the season for the Cape and the Islands, is a Jake sighting at the West Tisbury Farmer's Market far behind?

It's a lot to sink your teeth in.

Fever Pitch Strong

Over the years we've seen Jake's Red Sox fan boy pop up.

Today Jake got to do what very few ever get to do.  Throw out the first pitch at Fenway Park.  And to throw it out on Patriot's Day no less.

Jake's been working on Stronger, the story of  Jeff Bauman, who's life was changed from the marathon bombing.  Not only is Jake acting and producing Stronger, he's also getting involved with the Boston community and marathon survivors.

Jake and  Jeff were honorary captains of today's marathon runners for Boston Medical Center where Jeff got his care and recovery.  Last night Jake and Jeff joined the dinner's host former Patriot player Jerod Mayo, Mayor Marty Walsh and Boston Police Commissioner William Evans at the team's pre-race carbo load dinner.   Today the BMC team of 90 runners has raised more than $638,000 toward their $750,000 goal.

Jake and Jeff both threw out the first pitch today, and it was filmed for the movie as well.

After getting some tips from Big Papi and Blake Holt they went out to the mound.

Little girl in Jake's arms is Jeff's daughter Nora.

Jeff and Jake threw the first pitch to players Haley Ramirez and Big Papi David Ortiz respectively.

Jake definitely knows how to handle the baby,  but a baseball?  Well, if you want to see if Jake can bring the heat over the plate check it out here.

First Pitch at Fenway video

If you notice - Jake wore a Boston jersey and Jeff a Red Sox jersey.  For today - it's all about Boston Strong and all the Sox players wore Boston on their chest.

Jake gets to keep the ball, and his personalize jersey.

So Jake you call yourself a Boston fan - and you've thrown out the first pitch at Fenway- it's time to ditch this one - once and for all.

For many they think this day is Boston is all about this line.

But for Boston there is a new line that is even more important.

Demo'd

It's been a while since Jake filmed Demolition but it's that time again, another release, and Jake's been doing press for the movie for the past few weeks.

Demolition premiere last fall at the Toronto International Film Festival and got great reviews.  The movie seems to bring Jake back to what he does well,  not the flawed character that he tends to lean toward, but another movie that is just outside the line of mainstream.

Great to see back to what he seems to love to do, and he seems to look like he is back to that great Jake in interviews.

And even better back to see this guy with this fella in not only the same state, the same city but in the same dang space.

Talk about breaking it down and going back to the beginning.

And as for that Texas size temptation -  he's done some "Walking" in Denver this weekend. 

Love x 10

Happy Valentine's Day

What better way to celebrate Valentine's Day that a picture of our favorite pair in the picture that kicked it all off.  

It was February 11th  that Jake and Austin were the happy pair courtside at the Lakers.  Hard to believe it's been 10 years.   Yes 10 years!

 Big Blue, grey overcoats, buttons torn off,  a zipper down and that smile! and the lean  all things to love.

 And much love for Austin and big rubba' boots.

 Fella's update:  Jake has been bouncing back and for between Boston and New York as he gets ready to produce and star in the movie Stronger,  about the Boston Marathon bombing.  Filming starts in Boston in April. 

 Austin is back on The Walking Dead and is back on TV tonight.  Fans are hoping the TV version of Spencer does not meet the same fate as his graphic novel counterpart.  It's a wait and season for this season of TWD. 

 

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Wishing you a wonderful day filled with family, friends and the joy of the season.

Here's what OMG is hoping found it's way under our favorite pair's tree.

For Jake:

This year instead of army green pants - it's an army green sweater.

 And just to make sure he remembers Flagstaff - instead of instagram, how about some cacti coasters

 Now who likes coffee more than Jake?  Talk about table to tub - this is organic coffee ground and honey exfoliating soap.  How Jakey indeed!

 Cookbooks but the C in Christmas for Jake, so how about a cookbook that puts the V in Vegetables.  Everyone around the table will be thrilled no doubt.

 Foodie guy Jake can jump on the newest trend.  Forget agave - it's now maguey sap as the new organic sweetener - with Probiotics in every drop.  Mmmmm!

 Now that all those training movies are done, it's bring on the carbs for Jakey G, and the pasta loving fellow can make his own fresh and roll and cut them with this pasta pin. 

 If anyone can make it work, Jinglehaal can  -  so this season say PomPom!

Who said cashmere is just for socks - a cashmere hoodie for the boy loves it soft next to his tender skin.

What's a hiking tealover to do when he wants a cuppa on the trail - a thermos teapot!

 

Jake knows the awesomeness of The Dude, heck he even dressed up with him.  Why not take him to bed - in a manner of speaking.  With Lullabies with Jeff he can have 43 minutes of Dude to take him to the Land of Nod. 

  

And what do you get the Bubble Boy who has everything - his very own backyard bubble  of course!

  

Of course we can't leave out that Big Tall Texan, and neither would Santa

For our favorite film buff with the quirky edge - a book about a quirkier director David Lynch

And to punch up those tweets - perhaps an emoji keyboard for the wordsmith

 And how can you say no to this cute acorn wireless speaker that will go perfect with you hat

And for the 'Squatchi - his own Bigfoot Foot Stool

 

A closet, a shaving kit, there's always secrets hiding from your cutie dimpled dude.

 This Southern boy will never lose his Southern roots, or his love of literature.

 First was suspenders - now let's make it pocket squares!

 

Little art or Jake's autograph ? Here's a Squiggle book for Austin to practice on.

 

 Come on it's socks - striped socks - it's screaming Mr. Nichols!

 What would a water baby like Austin want - how about a part canoe part part kayak to get his boat.

What else for this Austin powers fella - a velvet tuxedo

 We know it's not your first one Austin so don't deny it.  We can just as Matt F or James from Maroon 5.

And lastly, how about some of Tom Ford's Jake inspired lipstick - we know it's usually for the ladies - but you can have a little bit of Jake linger on your lips and no one is the wiser -- wait wait you may have done that one a few times before too.

  And you can forget those special together gifts.

Like: 

He likes tacos and Jake likes to make them - how about a tacopedia

One's dutch and the other gardens - so Dutch gardener tools  of course.

 

 How about a house that has no address -  pretty slick 

So if one loves to host and the other loves books - how about this literary take on Cards Against Humanity.  

 

And to add to the subtlety to it - how about these hunky napkins with Toms of  Findland 

  

And these.   Whoa, whoa, whoa people - they're bike seats.  ; )

 

Now about those other people at home.  

Is is a little baker's baking set on the go - or a Cutthroat Kitchen evil challenge

Ok maybe it's a little too Michal Jackson - but you get the idea. 

 A balloon filled with confetti how much fun could that be - and Jake get's to use his Dyson afterwards!

 It's a green household for sure - so lets start them with a garden in a can.

 

With dreams of Partridge's in their head - starting a band with some Jamsticks.

 Hey Austin  - that velvet tux could come in handy for the tour.

Is it a play fort or a transporter to England - hey it could be both!!

And the one thing that's always on the list for Santa - A Oscar, A Tony or an Emmy.
