Conor Oberst Lives on the Lower East Side
I missed this one two weeks ago...
At the Mercury Lounge, Oberst slinked around unnoticed, unbothered, just another shaggy-haired, hoodie-loving hipster clinging to his bottled beer.
Bright Eyes front man Conor Oberst is the indie-rock champion of Omaha. So what’s he doing living on the Lower East Side?
-----
UPDATE: Read about Jen's missed encounter with Conor
And (semi-related) from Gawker:
spotted 1/25 at the first bright eyes show at town hall: ben kweller sporting an overgrown hipster mop, devendra banhart making out with a pretty girl in the orchestra during bright eyes’ set, helena christenson purchasing tilly and the wall merchandise, ebon moss-bachrach from porn and chicken and mona lisa smile with a girl i recognized — perhaps rachel mcadams from mean girls?

he moved cuz he's sick of omaha. his friends are getting older and now have kids.. (cursive) saddle creek is getting pretty trendy, but even if it gets a little trendy i'll still love saddle and conor. oh yeah, him and maria are realllyy cute together, but of course i'm soooo jealous.. it's depressing.

he moved because he was getting sick of omaha and really depressed cuz his friends (cursive) are getting older and they are married and have kids.. they are basically just really successful. and i think conor knows that saddle creek is getting trendy, but even if it does get pretty trendy, i'll still love saddle and conor<3 oh yeah, him and maria taylor are so cute together, but i'm really jealous.. it's depressing....

So now I'm feeling all kinds of guilt for sucking the life out of a poor guy who just wants to go fishing on the weekends.

And my silent agreement goes something like "Because she was fucked up enough as a kid to decide to fuck on film for fortune and fame."

ItÒs simple but effective. They also do other genres. Adolescent poetry is worth a look.

so i figured the best thing to do is offer an inside look to the demon that drives this crazy train, and tell obnoxious anecdotes about my sister, since she's not here to stop me.

Following on from my heron experience, I stood under a tree on Sunday evening watching a woodpecker* hammering at a tree trunk.
