So, about that Oklahoma Gazette article.
Yeah, that’s a cover story about our little web site. Yeah, the Gazette must be running out of things to write about. Needless to say, it is a little strange to see things we said in black and white print, and reading people like Kelly Ogle and Lauren Richardson (people we see on television!) talking about us is sufficiently freaky as hell.
We don’t have much to add, but frankly are pretty discouraged about the whole thing. Where are we at in society today? Are you kidding me? An article on The Lost Ogle? That’s why we don’t read the newspaper! Because it’s garbage. And the editor who let that come out is GARBAGE!

I want to thank The Gazette for publishing this the week of Mother’s Day, because I didn’t have any ideas for what to get my Mom.
I’m out of town and the Gazette updates their web site about once a year.
Can you transcribe the article and send it to me? Or at least draw some illustrations and post them here?
Thanks.
So i just read the article online and i’m dissappointed. not by you guys, but by Rod. is that all he wrote?! i hope the print version is longer. he didn’t even need to interview you for that article, most of the info was found online. boooo.
ok, i’m done whining.
wait, no, boooo.
ok there.
What is online is just the intro. The print version is much longer and features me doing a lot of incoherent blabbering. Clark Matthews, however, is at an uncharacteristic loss for words.
Okay, guys, frankly I’m very disappointed.
The author’s name is Rod Lott and you let that pass by for a favorable article? Sheesh!!
I guess that’s it then. Thanks guys for all the laughs.

Congrats on making it to a rag that lists the best massage parlors in OKC!!!
You guys deserve it!!!
No kidding! You guys should have held out for a rag that lists a daily front page prayer!
What a cool site. Hey, would never have found out if it weren’t for the Gazette Geeks — the anti-Oklahomans they are.
By the way, you need some more bandwidth.
Look what Mike McCarville wrote:
No Longer Obscure
The Oklahoma Gazette features The Lost Ogle, a local social blog once referred to here as “an obscure local blog,” in a current cover story.
The liberal OG isn’t The New York Times, but it has wide readership and thus, The Lost Ogle is no longer so obscure.
Labels: Oklahoma Gazette, The Lost Ogle
Maybe after the article in the Gazette you guys will have a readership larger than the Gazette. Well, larger than the people who actually read the Gazette for the Gazette and not the happy ending ads.
Actually, Rod did a great job with the story - and this definitely offbeat site deserves all the positive attention.
Have to admit, I’m a little surprised by the level of antagonism — read: jealousy — regarding the Gazette. Sounds like some folks have a few issues to sort out.
Congrats on getting noticed! The Gazette could have definitely done a more thorough job.
