is it possible to find out what location he tweeted from?


Yes but that one doesn't have one:

I do find it interesting the time_zone got set to Eastern even though he should be somewhere on the west coast... (maybe all tweets are passed in Eastern, idk)


I do know that up until a few months ago, Luke lived in New York City—so, that may have something to with the time zone field.
