Okay, there's a lot of ground to cover in this photo. We'll go slowly: That's the actress with the Fun! musician (and, yep, Lena Dunham's current beau!) on a date at a BCBG show in 2002 when they were high school sweethearts! Mind blown? Us too.

We can't even come up with a circumstance under which these two would be in the same room, which means this Luca Luca Spring 2005 show sighting was extra-special.
