Distracting Destinations

Looking at the calendar it is no surprise that Austin was on the move yesterday. 

No Sweet Home Chicago, he was spotted in Austin, but is that a stopover in the grand plan of catch me if you can while heading back East to NYC?


Austin wants to be thought to be anywhere but in the city so nice they named it twice, so for that  here is places Austin could say he was instead:

10. The Dentistry Museum in Baltimore Maryland.  What? Too Obvious?

9. The frequent flyer he is why not the Unclaimed Baggage Center in Scottsboro, Alabama.

8.  He's been to Italy and couldn't but at Cal State Fullerton he can.  The Fallen David in Fullerton CA.

This replica of Michelangelo's David fell during the Whittier Narrows earthquake of 1987. Forrest Lawn donated the broken pieces to Cal State Fullerton. The pieces are identical in size, material and surface to Michaelangelo's original. Campus legend has it that rubbing the butt of the "Fallen David" sculpture will bring you good luck on finals.  Then again there's things to rub in the East.

7.  Here's one way to be seen with a lady and it's not a problem if it seems wooden (or fiberglass in this case).  The Lady of the Lake, Elberta. Alabama.

6.  It's not Wild Turkey but the boy loves his beer how about Cano's Castle in Antonito, Colorado.  It isn't exactly made entirely of beer cans. It's more like a few smashed beer cans nailed to the walls, along with hubcaps and strips of aluminum. But Beer Folk Art it is.

5. He stood by the picture, now he can stand by the statue, The Bronze JFK in Fort Worth Texas.

4. He bowls, so the Caveman and Leprechaun bowling art in Tuscon would not look suspicious to visit.

3. He played a bomb disposal expert in a cameo in Unthinkable  why not visit the Bomb Squad Memorial in Redstone Arsenal, Alabama.

2. Branson, Missouri! 'nuff said.  Well maybe after EoW he just needs to see The Baldnobbers or the most famous bathroom at The Shoji Tabuchi Theatre, where there's a pool table in the men's room.

And #1.  Because it's almost Christmas, the World's Oldest Santa Claus Statue in Santa Claus, Indiana.

Plenty of places to go Austy, but none of the places your going to be.  We know wh
oere you love.

Getting Carded

In an interview with Everything Austin, a couple of years ago the tall Texan talked about his favorite cities."And finally, what’s your favourite city in the world?"

"I have many favorite cities. Austin, New Orleans, London, Berlin, New York, Rome, Barcelona, San Francisco and Wilmington."

An where's been Jake seen recently?

Catch Me If You Can

Austin might have tweeted about but is it Jake who is trying to play it?

After two weeks on the Vineyard, there is now official sightings in the paper about him being there, not just one mention but two mentions two day in a row.

yesterday

Vintage actor Brian Dennehy grabbing dinner at V.R.’s in Wellfleet . . . Hollywood sibs Maggie and Jake Gyllenhaal shopping and stopping to chat with friend Chris Fischer at the West Tisbury Farmers Market . . . Jake and pal “Smallville” actor Tom Welling, along with boxing legend Sugar Ray Leonard and Black Dog top dog Rob Douglas, yukking it up at Lenny Clarke’s comedy show at David Ryan’s in Edgartown . . .July 12th The Inside Track

and today.

“Curb Your Enthusiasm” kvetch Larry David and “Prince of Persia” hunk Jake Gyllenhaal supping at the Chilmark Tavern on The Rock - but not together - . . . July 13th The Inside Track

The Track is the gossip for Boston and they make a point of covering MV and Nantucket during the season. If you want to known for being around on the island, the Track Girls are the ones to do it for you.

So why is it after 2 weeks comments of tweets about ferries and farmers markets about Jake being in MV, and not a pic to prove he was anywhere else would there be two sighting on two days and why these days?

Now before going further. There's this.

"There's a lot of deliciousness to tackle in this post, better find a comfortable seat! To start, let me set the scene. My friend Fiona (who writes the food blog A Boston Food Diary) and I had graciously accepted a very generous invitation to a private tasting menu at the District Lounge. Located between Chinatown and South Station in the Leather District, it is the definition of "off the beaten path". By trade, the District Lounge is an exclusive club that has lines around the block and celebs galore (I was informed that a Mr. Jake Gyllenhaal was there last week, wish I had known that!). " - Once Upon a Small Kitchen

Now the District Lounge is definitely one of the clubs on the short list of top spots, not too big, and like the blogger said "off the beaten path" and lines to get in the place. It has been on the Improper Bostonians list of the best for several years.

Jake in Boston and not one tweet or peep? Can he get off island and move around where he wanted to go and not get a mention? It might not be always easy but yup, think so, and think he has got it down after all these years. When he wants to move undetected he can. But what does that have to do with the two mentions confirming him on The Vineyard?

Isn't it odd that the first one happens to on the very day Austin is on the move and heading east? And then a follow up day to make it sounds like he was out last night at The Chilmark Tavern. But did you notice there are no specific mentions of exactly what day he was there?

Ask yourself this, is it to make it look like he just started his vacation there after two weeks after all ready being there?

Could it really be to place him there and everyone think he's there, when he's all ready gone and on the move himself? Somewhere where the latitude is closer to34.225N. than 41.343N? A little bit more misdirection?

Sounds like Jake could be staying one step ahead and going south at the same time.


Update: Why could have Jake been in Boston last week? Could have been to film the PSA for "Stand Up to Cancer" that is going to be on tonight's MLB's All-Star Game? Maybe filming it at Fenway? He is a self professed Sox Fan. Guess we will have to see tonight.
