Let's see if I have this right:

Jordan Larson is now a co-owner of the Omaha LOVB franchise (rebranded to LOVB Nebraska), with Creighton's former coach as president.

The three finalists in the Connor Oberst lookalike contest. Hoodies, gloomy clothes, some shades. General disaffectedness. PBR

Connor Oberst wears a black shirt and jeans on a small stage amidst colorful lights. The winning competitor is laughing behind a heaping bag of his old clothes.

Group picture of eight lookalike competitors posing with Connor. Colorful lights, wooden stage. Lots of cigarettes and shades.

Connor Oberst showed up to the Connor Oberst lookalike concert and the grand prize was a big black trash bag full of Connor Oberst's clothes.

I wasn't there, but I commissioned an artist to recreate the evening.
