Creamtastic Craiglist Wants Your Missed Connections Success Stories

The only thing worse than being in a missed connection is NOT being in a missed connection. Amiright? Browsing through the last few weeks of entries, I noticed a few things. First, national problem: People still don't seem to know or use adjectives. Second, there were a few connections I had most unfortunately overlooked from shows these last coupla weeks. For instance, some mantard (I know, redundant) at the Cage the Elephant show at Mercy Lounge a few weeks back only wanted to thank the gorgeous ladies in the front row for being so dang bangin'. So sweet, you guys. As a spokesperson for all ladies everywhere, I hope you at least saw some side boob. And then, yet another in a long line of bad describers launched another needle-in-a-haystack rocket into hyperspace when he went looking for a girl at the Dan Auerbach show with this decription: She was a girl. With a friend. Who was shorter than her. And who had dark hair. And she was wearing a dress. Fingers crossed, ladies--wedding bells are ringing. But then something else caught my eye: Craigslist is looking for missed connections success stories! And they want to know if they can reprint your story (maybe on their blog?)! Or share it with the media! Sadly, they do not define success story as I had hoped they would. Does anyone know of any actual missed connection success stories? And if so, do these success stories involve any adjectives? Also, does "success" in this case merely mean that the desired person actually recognized themselves in one of these piss-poor descriptions? Or do they have to actually connect, meet and like each other? Inquiring minds.

I have seen those "looking for success stories" notices before on CL. It's weird how they don't specify where, or when, these stories will ever (if at all) be published. Ticks me off, because I want to read them!

I know someone who got a missed connection at a Mercy show a while back. I'm pretty sure he used adjectives and even mentioned something specific he had said to her at the show, which is how she spotted it.
Unfortunately though, she remembered him too.
And decided not to email him back.

This stuff is kind of pathetic. First, a Cage the Elephant show is not the place to be looking for a mate, or even to be period. People! Stop standing around in your outfit hoping someone will notice you and post something on the net so you can reply. If you fancy someone, fucking go up to them and ask to dance or remark on their stellar arms-crossing stance or buy em a drink. You're just giving voyeur types like Tracy an excuse to OMG over your lame attempts at 21st century indie-love. Kids today....

OMG, burrito. Voyeurism connotes invasive prying and going out of one's way to view a hidden act. Reading a public message board hardly meets those requirements.

Stellar arms-crossing stance... Nice!
Honest question: Can you couples dance to Cage? If so, do you have to leave room for the holy hipster... er spirit?
That's funny. I'm funny.
