This really needed to be posted yesterday since the actual ad is now gone, but this has to be one of the least brahsome Craigslist ads ever. The Brahsome community wholeheartedly endorse selling whatever you need to in order to get to see Trey Antipasta live, but there are some limits.
Like, you know, your frigging dog.

Date: 2008-08-06, 11:32PM EDTThis 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,

Who in their right mind would trade their Trey ticket for a dog who’s been living on friggin Bisco tour? You get that dog, next thing you know, you come home and he’s taped up tin foil over the windows in your basement and he’s wearing a hoodie and chain smoking inside. No thanks.
Thanks to the Woodford for the tipper.

If I had ever made it out post-show, I was going to walk up to you and say…”Who in their right mind would trade their Trey ticket for a dog who’s been living on friggin Bisco tour?”
MAN, I WAS BLOWN AWAY BY PERSON TRYING TO TRADE THE DOG FOR A F’N TREY TICKET!
Stoney Tony? Is that you? What happened to Maggie?
You people are retarded. This was obviously a joke. A funny joke, but a joke nevertheless.
