Elijah is in New York.

I don't know what he's in town for; does anybody else? FOUND OUT; UPDATE BELOW.

Some tweets:

Alexey Blinov @ablinov 1 hr
Just saw Elijah Wood walk down the street. He's shorter than me.

Jay Tee @morbidityiskey 1 hr
Elijah Wood! Wow, he's short. #eastvillage

Elijah Wood walking around on Long Island

And a picture that was posted on Tumblr (click through; it's big):
Elijah Wood - Tribeca


Will update with more if I find anything.

EDIT #1: A friend just pointed out to me that Heloise and the Savoir Faire have a gig at Union Pool in Brooklyn tomorrow night. Maybe some production stuff going on? Anyway, she said a friend of hers would be at the show, and she'll pass along news of whether Elijah's there or not. I'm sure he will be.

EDIT #2: Found this: He's DJing an invite-only Bushmills gig tonight. We should keep an eye out for pictures.

EDIT #3: I'm almost certain that's Zach Cowie (aka Turquoise Wisdom) in the picture with Elijah.

Thanks for the picture and the info!:)

[lijeyeshaveit.livejournal.com]

Great info. Wish you could go.

[newleaf31.livejournal.com]

Me too! If only it were a public gig! Too bad.

He looks so happy. I think he really likes New York.

[newleaf31.livejournal.com]

He should totally move here permanently. I've thought this for years. #IwishIwishIwish ;-)

"Wooden Wisdom"?? Ha! Brilliant! Love to see him doing stuff that makes him happy.

Thanks for the sleuthing Newleaf.
Wooden Wisdom. Sounds great. Is it true that they ofted do DJ sessions together? I seem to remember reading something like it.

[newleaf31.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure how often they DJ together. I know they did the Bushmills Way Back party in LA back in October. Seems like I remember them doing something else together a year or so ago... but I don't remember what.

There is a Lomography event in NYC tonight wonder if he is in on that?
I must be distracted I usually feel the disturbance in the force when he is this close to me...hahaha.
Wish I could go up and find him... fat chance.

You both (newleaf/overlithe) live so close to where he is now.. is there no possibility of you getting to town. You could get lucky! Or are you further away than it seems?

[newleaf31.livejournal.com]

I'm an hour away by train from Midtown, probably an hour and a half from Brooklyn. Between distance, time (I have a dissertation deadline looming), and money, it's a little bit too far to go if I'm not sure he'll be somewhere. Alas. If something arises this weekend that looks promising, I'll try to make it.

[overlithe64.livejournal.com]

I'm 2 hours south. Easy enough by train but as Newleaf said with out a definitive place to look for him or a specific event to attend its too far and NYC far too big to just hope. I have work in the morning so even if Id have had enough notice id never have made it today.

I went up for a Heloise show a few years back hoping he'd be there, fortunately he was. But IT was a LONG evening. Got up there in time for dinner show was at 10 ended at 12 ran to catch the last train back got in be at 4am...

So you see though it is close unless you are staying over...its a bit much... But maybe one day NewLeaf and I can collaborate and meet in the city and maybe we can do it while E is in town.

I hate it when the first thing people comment on is his stature!! If only they knew that he's so much more than a hobbit!

Thanks.. I love knowing where in the world he is.. :)

[newleaf31.livejournal.com]

Ugh, I hate that too! :( It's so tacky.

[creekside12.livejournal.com]

I wonder if he still dj's/hangs out with Jason? There haven't been reports of them working together or eating out together as they used to; also, unlike last year, there was no bromance-like song dedicated to Elijah on the occasion of his birthday on Jason's twitter.

[spring200.livejournal.com]

Thanks for this, I always love knowing where he is, and he loves NYC !

[verangel.livejournal.com]

He may be short but has big feet *winks*. He is adorable!! I love when he is hanging in NYC. It fits him. Maybe you guys could go to that bushmill thingy. hugs you xoxooxox v

[creekside12.livejournal.com]

Elijah posted a lovely 'thank you' to Bushmills for a great trip and party on his twitter(and "I love you Ace Hotel!").
I'm sure if twitter, email or facebook didn't exist, Elijah is the kind of well brought up man who would send handwritten thank you notes. Love him to death.....

Thanks from me too!
