One year ago today, August 23, 2015, we had another Jake and Austin sighting. This time there was no blurry picture involved. No video to be viewed. No Vine, Vimeo, Snapchat, Periscope, or Livestream.
We had a good old vintage, in-person sighting by a long-time friend of Oh My Godot's Special K. Seems that her pal just happened to be eating in Koreatown at 10:03pm Central Standard Time, which translates to 8:03pm Pacific Time. He initially recognized Jake and mentioned that he was eating with a guy who had curly hair. After some back and forth phone texting, it was confirmed that Jake was dining out with Austin that Sunday evening in Koreatown.
Only three days later past the anniversary of their Leadville, Colorado trip, the guys had stepped out on a late evening and shared a meal for two, in a neighborhood near where Jake said he grew up.
"So, I started seeing L.A. in a very different way than I had when I grew up around it. Even though, I grew up right on the edge of Koreatown." - Jake G. via Nuke the Fridge (Oct 27 2014)
Makes you feel kinda warm and fuzzy inside. Just a nice old- fashioned dinner out. No frills or fuss. What do you think? I like it. :-) For all the headaches one can get from the eyerolls at the PR and social media shenanigans with these two, this is what I continue to see signs of - that Jake and Austin still have a tie that binds. Has to be a love that binds. Gotta be. And it's what keeps me rooting for them. May they never lose each other and the simple date nights like this.
