Bright Eyes frontman Conor Oberst was the topic of a celeb lookalike contest in his hometown of Omaha, Nebraska, on Friday evening. The occasion, which organizers say began as a joke, morphed right into a profit for the native youth music schooling group Omaha Ladies Rock. There was emo karaoke, and the primary 40 folks in attendance obtained a single American Spirit cigarette.
As for the contestants? Properly, not one of the contributors appeared even remotely just like the Vibrant Eyes frontman—aside from Oberst himself, who stopped by to shock the winner with a bag of his garments.
