It's March 12. We all know the drill by now. We know what went down. The date, the occurrence. The city. The film festival. The significance.
For any scoffer, any doubter, the picture confirmed the current relevancy of a relationship (in whatever capacity you believed) that many thought had drifted away down the Colorado River and never to be considered again.
There they were big as life, after a four (4) year drought of being photo'd together. This was not an official paparazzi photo op. It is not clear, nor will it likely ever be clear if the pictures were a stunt-gone-wrong or an "accidentally-on-purpose oopsie".
But it doesn't matter. We were merely the benefactors.

It was a beautiful thing.
Happy SXSW2016 Day!!! We'll never forget.

March 12, 2016.
This was the last time Jake and Austin were photo'd together to the internet public. Whether it was "intentionally by accident" or not, is not known for sure. The location, a sausage and beer garden called Bangers, was an interview stop during Jake's promo day for Demolition at SXSW in Austin, TX.
And yes, in the window reflection:
Prior to this photo, the last time they had been seen together was the New York City "Mystery Gal" arranged photo op in November of 2012. There's an elaborate twitter history behind these two photos that can be seen on this Oh My Godot thread . And in the near future, Narnia will take a revised look at what happened that day on March 12, 2016, but just not in this post.
So the guys were looking great and it was uplifting to see things were alive and well for them! We know that Austin was traveling with Jake in this Tahoe SUV (these boys and their SUV's, LOL!) and the unexpected revelation showed others who need that pictorial proof, that they were still very much in each other's life.
