Got him!
RedState managing editor Jennifer Van Laar solved the mystery of California’s missing Gov. Gavin Newsom after spotting him in photos published by Vogue magazine of the luxurious wedding of heiress and model Ivy Love Getty in San Francisco:
Well, it certainly looks like at least part of the mystery's been solved. @GavinNewsom set out to fight global warming by going to COP26, but ended up enjoying a luxurious weekend funded by Getty/Big Oil $$. https://t.co/Nr63wGGlVz

So, how did local media miss this?
So, Twitter, is this @GavinNewsom? In the 1st pic, look to the right of the bride, to the couple in the 2nd row I think it is. Gavin and Jen, next to London Breed? In the 2nd pic, look behind the bride's dad. Bride is Ivy Getty. https://t.co/kUOcWI5NQA pic.twitter.com/tZu9HeeDJC

The wedding, officiated by Nancy Pelosi, really does make Newsom’s trip to French Laundry “look like a rundown diner”:
Our Managing Editor @jenvanlaar spotted @GavinNewsom in photos Vogue published from Ivy Getty's Nov. 6 "fantasy" San Francisco wedding – at which @SpeakerPelosi officiated. This shindig makes the French Laundry look like a rundown diner… #OutOfTouch https://t.co/a6C8BzSQM9

So, why the secrecy, Gavin?
And, if it is him and his wife – and it absolutely looks like it is – why all the secrecy over the last 11 or so days? Why not just say, "I'm going to an event on the anniversary of the French Laundry dinner that makes the French Laundry look positively pedestrian"?

And we’ll note the Gettys made their fortune in oil which makes his skipping of the COP26 conference even better:
Am also just realizing the irony in Gavin Newsom attending the wedding of the great-granddaughter of oil billionaire J. Paul Getty about a week after cancelling his trip to the UN climate change conference…

Although we’re already seeing some spin from Newsom’s allies in the media that the two events didn’t overlap so he technically didn’t skip the global warming conference to be with the oil heiress:
He also has been seen in public. Vogue reported today that Newsom was at the Ivy Getty wedding in San Francisco this past weekend. He was supposed to be in Glasgow Nov. 1-3, so there doesn't seem to be an overlap in scheduling. https://t.co/BqiWHO57Im https://t.co/svYx6DbBgb
