The Columbus Alive named Gaunt’s Krytonite the best Columbus album of the last 30 years. My colleague and former intern Chris Deville compiled the top 100 entries.
I’ve never heard the album, so I’m going to have to get my hands on it. Other notable albums on the list (i.e. bands I’ve hard of) are Earwig’s Perfect Past Tense at no. 8, Howlin’ Maggie’s Honeysuckle Strange at no. 17, O.A.R.’s The Wanderer at no. 23 and Watershed’s The More It Hurts, The More It Works at no. 69.
Bands not appearing on the list are Red Wanting Blue, The Pike Band and House of Cards.

…. some amazing stretches and backbends.. I couldnt keep my eyes off of you. Just wondered if you noticed me staring at you like some sort of crazy person. I can assure you I am not crazy. You are very cute and obviously flexible. Wow.

That’s my girlfriend, asshole!
Re:Re: Hilliard Y today - you wearing all black and doing… - m4w - 30
Why does that make me an asshole? She was alone, wasnt wearing a ring, and wasnt wearing a sign that said “Hi, I am Gary Planter’s Girlfriend”.
If it really was your girlfriend, consider it a compliment that you have a cute girlfriend you douche bag. My post wasnt asking her to contact me so I could fuck her either.
Get a grip.

We made eye contact several times and you smiled at me, I thought you were gorgeous but I was in a hurry and couldn’t talk. It’s a longshot, but if you see this, reply back with what car I was driving, I’d love to get to know you better =)

HIGH ST. - m4w - 25
Date: 2007-08-17, 7:06PM EDT
I was at the garage on the corner of High and…well I cant remember, but there was a gas station on the opposit corner, you walked by in a light blue shirt with a tan’ish colored hat and sunglasses. I dunno if you will read this. But I had one a red polo with camo shorts on. We starred at each other for a few seconds and as quick as you came you were gone again. I wanted to come up to you and ask for a name and number but I thought you might have been in a hurry. If you read this please get back to me!!! The garage I was at was HIGH ST. AUTO SALES.

Well kids, I’ve bee reported.
Someone has blown the whistle on my “That’s my girlfriends, asshole!” posts, filing an abuse claim with Craigslist, Yahoo! and Network Solutions.
Craigslist was contacted because I was re-posting their content, Yahoo! because I used their e-mail service to set up the fake “Gary” account I used to respond to the Craigslist ads, and Network Solutions because that’s who hosts this blog/Web site.
Apparently the “Bob W” who reported me via e-mail only had a problem with the two photos I had posted that were in the original Craigslist ads.
I wasn’t trying to personally insult anyone. When people reply to me, 75% of the time I get their full name because they respond from their personal e-mail accounts and not through Craigslist. I don’t post those names or anything else that could identify the poster of an ad to a common reader. The two photos I had posted were an afterthought.

Tiffany, I have your pictures!!! - m4w - 44
Date: 2007-06-10, 4:38PM EDT
Hey, I thought I’d hear from you last night. I was cold, a fire would have been nice. I love kids and don’t really sit around drinking beer all night. I think we were cut from the same mold and I hope we see each other again very soon. You have my number-call it. If you lost it, Kelly has it, too.
P.S. This is a great picture of you getting ready to “go down”! (photo omitted)
