You know Luke's probably in Austin now - imdb.com indicates that the Judge film has a status of "filming".

According to Mapquest, it's 187.97 miles from Ft. Worth to Austin.
Wow - Luke is in Austin now? Anyone have any idea where they might be filming? Downtown maybe?
'Course, we could try to hit Luke's fav. places in Austin and just hope he happens to be there at same time?

Thanks for the info. My friend has a good deal if we fly into Ft. Worth instead of Austin. Since I've never been to Texas before, I was wondering how far it was. (Yeah, I could have looked on MapQuest. Boy, am I lazy today!)
I read that filming was to begin on April 12th in one place and April 26th in another. So, I have no clue if Luke is in Austin right now. I keep on waiting for someone to give us a "Luke Sighting!"

AlsoAVirgo, don't be so hard on yourself. I ask questions I could have looked up myself too. Well, I'm only 70 miles from Austin. But Austin is a large enough city that it would be difficult to go up there and hang out at different places hoping Luke might show. There are so many bars & restaurants in Austin where Luke might be that encountering him would be random and sheer luck. I understand the Four Seasons is Luke's fav. Austin hotel. We could hang out outside of it...and try our best not to look like we're loitering! I'm sure hotel staff is tipped off when celebrities are guests. They probably are on guard for fans such as us to banish from the premises. I hate to be so doubtful & negative, and I don't know anything about hotel staff for a fact; it's just an assumption.

Actually, we were just planning on going to Austin just because we've heard great things about the city. However, if Luke just happens to be there when we're there, that would be nice. So far we're moving pretty slow on this trip!
Yeah, I've heard he stays at the Four Seasons. I'm sure there is some bar/restaurant in there. Go there for breakfast and pray he comes down to walk his dog. I read that somewhere!!

AlsoAVirgo, it's definitely worth a try!!! Especially if you're going to be in town anyway! I thought later that you could greatly increase your chances of a Luke-sighting if you actually STAYED at the Four Seasons. Just in case Luke is a guest there again. I've heard the Four Seasons is quite pricey but, if it's affordable for just 1 night, it might be worth it! I assume you'll be in Austin April 25-26 - Luke's next date? Whatever happens with Luke, I hope you love Austin. It's a great place! I always enjoy Austin when I go up there. You'll have to post a report telling us all about your trip!

Oh, I wish I was going to Austin this coming weekend! We had orginally discussed going for a long weekend the end of this month, but it doesn't look like we'll make it then due to a work conflict. Maybe sometime in May . . . I hope! I'll keep you guys posted! I wonder if Luke is even in Austin yet?
