Thursday at the Airport With Jake - A One-Morning Performance

(Reader warning:  There's an "F" word and graphic picture used in one of Austin's instagrams in this post)

One bleary-eyed blink and you would have missed it.  I mean, the alarm clock needed to be set mighty early to catch this one.


 

While we're not positive where the "mom" is, we know that this tweeter is in....New York City.  Since she says "the airport", that seems to infer a local airport for her.  If it were an airport in another state, I would think she would refer to the actual name, but I'm not going to throw down the gavel on that one.

As is always the case with Jake and Austin, there are rarely cold steel, smoking guns.  You have to look at the events surrounding, leading up to and following a sighting.

Last we left this rumbling, stumbling pair, we had Jake in New York City performing Sunday in the Park With George at the Hudson Theater, following a stop-off and run for the border at a Taco Bell in Southgate, Michigan.  And Austin?  Well, Austin was in Michigan as well, we assume driving the rehab-bus after his sister and bro-in-law skipped town.  ;-)   For further reference to this, please see:  source

Well, this current weekend, Austin is SUPPOSED to be in London at a Walker Stalker convention.  It had been set up since last year. Well, lo and behold, what happened?  Let's allow Austin to "break" the news to us, starting with his tweet and Instagrams from March 1:


 

And another Instagram on March 2:

But by Friday morning, something had gone terribly wrong:

 

Then in what I'm sure could be an attempt with some humor to set fans at ease...

 

Pfft!  That's it.  He's done.  No other flights available, I guess.  No mechanics around. Throw in the towel.  Pack up the camping gear and go home.  Don't pass go, don't collect your $200, just call a cab and pick up a sandwich for the ride back to....where?  Michigan where he's the bus driver for his recuperating father?  Austin, TX where all of his vehicles are located in his garage?  Or to Los Angeles, where he visits the beard, I mean girlfriend, according to Maxim magazine?  

 

[Aside:  Oh but wait! Guess the patriarch Dave Nichols is "on the mend".  More on that later.]  But in the meantime, we will scratch Michigan from the short list of return-destination possibilities.

 

We return to the tweet sighting of Jake at the airport on Thursday morning and wonder why it could have been viable?  We know he couldn't have been departing because he had performances stateside to do this weekend.  And this airport tweet came at 05:33 am ET. That's pretty darn early. Could he have been giving his boo Austin a lift to the airport for his weekend trip to London?  I doubt it. These two guys have parted ways due to business trips an endless amount of times. Nothing new there.

 

Or could it be that Austin was coming in on an arrival flight? Couldn't he have taken a cab from the airport, though? Surely - after all, how incredible of a driver could his hubs be?  But wait. What if Austin and the Baby Tiles had still been in Michigan, but were coming into the Big Apple?  Could that explain the very early arrival?  Less chance of being seen.  And it could explain why Jake would risk being spotted because he could not wait to see his children.  He likely had been waiting to see them for some length of time, how long we are not sure.  But waiting nonetheless.

 

And as has been the kind of luck that Jake has had sometimes - well, he got caught. Again.  Now, let's throw one more log onto this little campfire.  Who has a birthday coming up this Wednesday, March 15?  Jake's mom, Naomi Foner.  And who could have been disembarking on this wee-hour arrival flight to help celebrate? Possibly her grandchildren - the Baby Tiles en masse. Two tweets from last night's Sunday in the Park performance:

 







Since Wednesday falls during the work week, it's very possible that a 71st birthday shindig is being/has been held this weekend and that's why the grandchildren were flown in.

To help deflect and flag wave through, we had some help from the two rumblin', stumblins'.  Let's take a look:


 

Austin in Los Angeles?  But of course.

And Jake?

Because we know that Jake playing with other people's children for the world to see, must mean he couldn't have any of his own.  Yeah, we know, bud.   Nice try.  ;-)

Huzzah! Let everyone have cake!  

Another rare Twitter catch.  And another round of broken planes and Broadway backstage moments.  

Btw, for those wondering about the patriarch Nichols, looks like he's "on the mend" from that quite-serious, mysterious malady his son-in-law wanted all the world to know about.  From the well-timed re-opened Instagram account of Austin's bro-in-law, any curious questions on Dave Nichols status have been generously answered:
A post shared by Rowdy (@rowdyatx) on

Interesting details to these pictures are noted.  It's good to see that Austin "returned" to where he was more badly needed, isn't it? Taking care of his fur child in LA. Instead of the wheelchair bound dad that Randy is selling via his Instagram account.

 And that's how you know, what you are seeing is what PR wants you to see. What is actually happening behind the scenes is not going to be posted on Rowdy or Austin's Instagram. Who would like a slice of birthday cake, now?  Order up!
