Can you believe it was ten (10) years ago this weekend that Jake was spotted in Leadville, Colorado with (*then*) bro-in-law Peter Sarsgaard, allegedly researching for a future movie (which would never to come to fruition!).
And over the course of that weekend, Oh My Godot blogspot, the all-things Jake and Austin website, was relentlessly trolled, all of us regular posters and the troll were obsessing and arguing over two pictures from the Lotus Club second anniversary wing*ding, and Austin was tweeting about bubble baths, wine, walks on the beach, and eating/praying/loving three times before a shower!
And all the while that we blog posters were arguing with the obsessed troll over the Lotus pictures and whether that was Austin's ear or not, the disrupting visitor's interference was serving a two-fold purpose. 1) No doubt to try and throw a monkey wrench in the identification of Austin at the Club Lotus wing*ding, but also as the pictures of Jake at Leadville began to leak, they saw Austin in that picture with Jake. That had to have made Jake's people nervous as they may have waited to see if any of us were going to spot Austin in that infamous picture, standing to Jake's left. So, 2), the troll was drawing attention away by hyper-focusing on the Club Lotus picture.
It wouldn't be until later in October that same year 2010, while looking at the picture for another reason and in a zoom'ed out state, it was discovered that was indeed Austin to Jake's left.
and a closer look,
The eagle had landed.
On the 21st of August, Austin had tweeted:
By the 23rd and perhaps nearing the end of the romanced-up getaway trip to Leadville, Austin was tweeting this:
See how he typed "HUGGIES"? Sure, for writing emphasis. But it's also the way the logo looks:
How does that song go? ♪♫ back to life, back to reality ♫
Uh oh! No more sleep, 10x-a-day feedings, changing those Huggies; looks like those "romance'd up" days were done-zo! Time to pack up the duffle bags and move it on out, boys! Time to be the parents of a newborn again, a practice they would no doubt perfect with the arrival of more children in the future.
Ten. Years. Ago.
Hard to believe, isn't it?

Of course, in Austin's case, I believe he probably returned to Wilmington, NC and filming of One Tree Hill.
Even ten years later, there was still a couple of interesting things about Leadville that I hadn't noticed before, which was how Austin's "HUGGIES" resembled the logo of Huggies. Didn't hit me until last night.
Know what another thing was?

probably Eat, Pray, Love. (for the third time) then take a shower. healthy dinner. and curl up on the couch for a little sex and city Aug 22nd via web
And while in Toronto for Prince of Persia promo, Jake had said (in reference to his movie's competition), "I AM Sex and the City."
LOL! Kind of interesting...
That mention by Jake about Sex and the City only months before Leadville, during the promo for Prince of Persia at the very end of May in 2010
The quote by Jake was the focus of a Just Jared post as well, but that post has now been deleted.
I guess we'll be watching, won't we? You better believe Narnia is watching.
I guess we'll find out but thanks for all of the material ot3flopped
Working on a post that was supposed to not take too much time, but as usual....lol.
All for a good reason. It’s been quite awhile since we’ve had a "did I see that right?" like this, and I look forward to sharing it with followers of Jake and Austin. No, there’s no sighting, no pictures. But it’s undeniable and therefore very, very special.
Hope everyone is doing okay, hanging in there! I’m hanging on, lol. My job is a huge pill and I’m just trying to hang on until a special date. It’s a challenge to be in the food manufacturing industry and be deemed an “essential“ worker. I don’t know how “essential” our particular product is, but yeah, there was a time it couldn’t hardly be found on the shelves, so.......
Anyway, talk to y’all later and looking forward to posting soon.
