Thirty Days of Toothy Tile, Grey Goose and the Baby Tiles
Day 25
Like so many times in Jake's best laid plans, he was seen where he was not supposed to be throughout the month of May 2013. The first sighting that kicked off the "Jake's not in New York" sightings came on Mother's Day. Although on this particular occasion it is assumed that matriarch Naomi Foner was nowhere to be found since Jake was spotted in a West Hollywood gay bar.

So
did anyone else spot Jake Gyllenhaal at the Abbey last night? Scruffy, wearing
a hat. Positive it was him and he caught me and smiled as I did the double-take
and recognized him.
Mike Bray maybe he was
smiling because he did a double-take when he recognized you from Just Seen It
One day later, another Facebook post places Jake in LA, May 13, 2013

Nearly two weeks later, Jake was seen in Silver Lake (a neighborhood that LA Weekly had labeled at the time, the true Mecca for young gays in the Los Angeles area).

In order to confirm it was him, I ran an extra 2 miles.
Thank you for helping me train Mr. Jake Gyllenhaal! #silverlakereservoir
Then, five days later on Tuesday, May 28 a seemingly harmless tweet appeared, placing Jake at the Ritz Carlton in Los Angeles. At first glance, the location appeared mainstream and unremarkable. But, this time it was not where Jake was located that raised eyebrows, but who was mentioned as being with him.
When Deven Grey was approached by another twitter account @Jacktwistt, she offered more information:
This garnered the reply:

@DevenGrey
thanks :-) :-) :-) your so awesome and love to your mom :-) :-) happy Friday!!
So the first thought is that "Oh, one of Maggie's daughters must be with him." Well, that explanation doesn't seem to work this time.

Maggie Gyllenhaal playing
paddycake on my subway this morning with her daughter-everyone knows her but no
one bothers them-NYC is so cool
Of course, as soon as these tweets were re-posted on OMG (Oh My Godot), an "anonymous" (yet somehow familiar, if not expected) voice paid a visit to the thread, immediately arguing that Maggie wouldn't be playing paddycake with Ramona, who would have been six years old at the time. The Anon stated the paddycake partner must be the younger daughter, Gloria. Therefore, "it must be Ramona" who was with Jake at the Club Lounge at the LA Ritz Carlton.
In this thread on Oh My Godot, Oh My Godot thread on Club Lounge discussion , you can see M&M's reference to the Instagram post by @chrisclark93 on May 26 which at the time had included an accompanying photo. A photo which M&M refers to in her reply to the Anon commenter:
And,
I thought Jake was supposed to be in NY? Funny how when he inexplicably pops up
in Los Angeles with a little girl, the explanation is that he must be with
Ramona. But, then again, that's how it works. The same thing happened when a
Day Care Worker in Pittsburg said that Jake Gyllenhaal had brought in his
daughter in 2009. Immediately, someone comes on the blog and argues that she
must have made a mistake. It had to have been Ramona.
If you look at that photo of Maggie at the food counter, she's looking down at
that little girl who is coincidentally the same height, with a similar brunette
haircut, as Ramona. Plus, the school year extends into June in New York so no
way would Jake be flying Ramona across the country by himself when she would have
had to be back at school on Monday. Never mind the fact that May 31 was a
Friday, i.e. a school day. - June 02 2013 at 3:05 pm
An Instagram post and photo, of course, that is now deleted. Imagine that.
The ensuing conversation which occurred on the Oh My Godot thread is filled with yet again, a persistent arguing Anon throwing every possible scenario and explanation against the little girl being Jake's child. It bears repeating, I think to provide the link to this entire day of highly entertaining discussion:
Oh My Godot Thread Discussion on the Club Lounge Sighting
Truly a thread to behold. And as someone mentions, as soon as this debate and dialogue began to take place, sightings of Jake in New York City began to appear on Twitter.
What happened next was the icing on the cake.
Here are just four of what seemed like nearly 400 pics that suddenly appeared on IHJ on June 2, 2013, entitled "Arriving at LAX Airport". The photographic frenzy obviously orchestrated to publicly "document" Jake's grand arrival at LAX that Sunday, even though it was obvious he had been in the Los Angeles area at least since Mother's Day. It is interesting to note that this is supposed to be LAX and yet you can hardly see many people around in the photos.
It's quite admirable that Jake can arrive in LA from New York City with a mere backpack and no other luggage, don't you think? I Heart Jake documents Jake as "officially" leaving LA on June 8, so that is certainly some sage and careful packing to get everything into one backpack. ;-)
Looking in the email history of Special K, M&M and myself, one interesting item was discovered, and that is Jake is no stranger to the Ritz Carlton and its Club Lounge.
quick note: Jake Gyllenhaal is here as jury member and I have been seeing him almost everyday at the Club Lounge at the Ritz Carlton....! Not bad.
For more information and pictures on the Club Lounge level of the Ritz in Berlin, please see here . Key entry. Security. Yes, one could see how these would be desirable assets to the Club Lounge level.
Another interesting note. Narnia Dispatches has posted before on Greta Caruso and her role in helping Jake out. In light of the recent splashy photo op that Ms. Caruso participated in to place Jake in New York City on Sunday evening, April 23, the night prior to Austin's birthday, it's interesting to look back at The Club Lounge incident and what do we find out?
Remember that we had Facebook sightings of Jake in Los Angeles on May 12 and the 13th, followed by the sighting on May 23. Here is a timeline of the I Heart Jake photo op listings in this time period:
May 6 - Leaving the Met Costume Gala in New York City
May 9 - Leaving a workout in New York City
May 12 - Leaving NYC on a Private Helicopter
May 14 - Leaving the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles
May 18 - Heading to the Gym in New York City
May 23 - Bike Riding in New York City
June 2 - Arriving at LAX Airport
June 6 - At the Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood
June 8 - Departing from LAX Airport
Boy. I don't know about you, but I've got whiplash from all of that bouncing back and forth between NYC and LA, how about you?
May 18 and 23rd are the key dates to look at because they're sandwiched between the Facebook sightings at the nightclub and the Ritz Carlton sighting.
And look who helped Jake out on May 18 "Heading to the Gym in New York City" when we now know Jake was really in Los Angeles:
Well, well, well, look at that. I believe that is Ms. Greta Caruso herself. This set of photos was followed by Jake "biking" in New York City:
I don't know, I guess that is why Jake needed to return to NYC for the May 18 pictures because we all know that LA has no gyms. ;-)
Not to lose focus of this Day 25 post, however. The important point is not all of the shenanigans with volleying Jake back and forth between LA and NYC. The reason for the volleying is to hide that Jake was indeed in LA all this time and the Club Lounge sighting highlights how his time was spent: he was with his family. Jake was with one of his daughters at the Club Lounge that May 31 in 2013.
And That.
Is the story of the Club Lounge and the subsequent cover up.
