Classic TAB: Tour Dog For A Ticket?

I woke up with a huge smile on my face when I realized today is the day I’ll finally get to see Trey rip shit up on the ‘Doc for an extended period of time. Classic TAB plays their first ever gig tonight at the Williamsburg Music Hall, and we’ll be providing a live blog featuring the setlist and super witty comments directly from the venue.

If you have a ticket to tonight’s show perhaps you’re interested in trading it to a gnewb for a Bisco tour dog named Caterpillar who posted this Craig’s List ad:

This is really a tough decision for me, but I have a Black Labrador named Caterpillar that I’m willing to part with for a ticket to Trey Anastasio’s show at Music Hall of Williamsburg in Brooklyn on Thursday night. Caterpillar has never been to a Phish show — I’ve never been to a Phish show either, because I am 21 — but he has stayed in the car for a couple of Trey shows and been with me, non-stop, on Disco Biscuits tour for the past three years. Caterpillar knows the layout of Camp Bisco so well that he was singlehandedly able to lead me back to my tent in the middle of a number of trying incidents at CB7. (I had never done mescaline before. Never again.) Caterpillar also has been tough enough to survive after eating a number of crystals.

Anyways. This Trey show is really important to me, as it is in the vicinity of my birthday and I feel a near-tantric connection with Trey after watching the Walnut Creek DVD I bought yesterday. I have only $130 to my name at present and this has not been enough to score me a ticket. My parents will not help out on this one. They pay for my SUNY tuition and have recently set a cap on my jamband-related expenditures.

So. I am willing to part with Caterpillar if you are willing to part with a Trey ticket. Like I said, I feel that i MUST be there. I am ready to make the drive down from Scarsdale as soon as I get word from you. Caterpillar is worth at least $225, which is the lowest asking price right now on Stubhub, and I will throw in his dishes, collar and some frisbee golf discs he likes. He is up to date with his shots.

Please help me out on this. And if there is some kind soul out there who will sell for $130, and allow me to keep my dog, I will figure out a way to find six more dollars and buy that person a beer once I’m inside.

Thank you, namaste and Harpua,

This can’t be real, but I’m tempted to find out. WTF??? Well, regardless I couldn’t be more excited to see Sand, First Tube and a slew of other songs I haven’t heard in well over a year. Classic TAB will also perform at the aptly named Bullet Stage on Sunday evening at 7:30 during the All Points West festival in Jersey City, NJ.
