Just how far will Conor Oberst go to profess his undying love for you? At least as far as Alaska, if we can glean anything from this latest batch of dates that the boy wonder-turned-manchild wonder behind Bright Eyes has added to his fall tour.

In addition to a trio of gigs in America's largest state, wide-eyed Oberst and band have tacked on four more performances along the Western edge of the US of A, in such happening locales as Chico, Spokane, and Boise. Plus he's still playing with an orchestra, still out there supporting Cassadaga, and still more than willing to father your children (but only if you ask nicely).
