j.lowe : making and finding stuff

Briana and I first saw The Duke Spirit at Coachella in 2006. Great band. But something caught our eye. The lead singer happened to look a lot like our friend Gretchen – an actress/performer friend of ours from Portland, OR. 

Yesterday I remembered that the band was playing a show at Doug Fir, so I emailed Gretchen: 

If you run into your clone on the street does her head explode?
Let’s find out tonight at the Doug Fir. 

I received a text message later in the evening saying that she and Matt were coming. We went to the show (band was great as expected – picture Bjork in a rock band with a ton of soul). At one point Gretchen was looking at the stage and said “she is so cute.” I responded “You’re such a narcissist.”

Afterwards Briana snuck us backstage so Gretchen and lead singer Leila could come face to face:

It was wierd.

seriously if gretchen was wearing eye liner and looking straight ahead...

Here’s a little video clip:

Luckily nobody’s head exploded.

Now let’s play Leila or Gretchen? GO:

Ok nevermind. This is just creepy.
