TREY DAY 1: UPDATED....

Dearest Readers,

I come to you with exciting news from the land of upstate New York! All you post-college, post-tour, post-post folks who pretend that you never listened to Phish, never jammed out to dank, crispy board tapes, never jumped the fence to sneak in to a summer tour show listen up... we've got a mystery on our hands....

Rumors have been flying about former Phish frontman Trey Anastasio and his current whereabouts since his sentencing for a recent drug possession and driving violation. He has been seen quite a few times in downtown Saratoga Springs, NY in the past month. I have been hired by the Hendo Bendo team to seek out as much information as possible, in the hopes that I can find the hero that is Trey. My identity will remain secret as I cannot let my "inside sources" be known.

RUMOR #1:
Trey is living in a mansion apartment on Circular Street in Saratoga Springs, NY; chance that this is true - 50/50 - certainly an appropriate location for Trey.

RUMOR #2:
Trey is living in a luxury condo above Banana Republic on Broadway in Saratoga Springs, NY; chance that this is true - 50/50 - also another appropriate location, although a bit "nouveau faux riche" for our hero.

RUMOR #3:
Trey was seen playing guitar in Congress Park in Saratoga Springs, NY; chance that this is true - 10/90 - would our red-headed wonderboy risk revealing his location by playing in such a publicly populated place?

RUMOR #4: (*New!*)
Trey will be teaching a music class at Skidmore College; truth chance - 80/20 - 95% of the Skidmore College population would drop their bongs and head for the music building if they heard that Trey was teaching.

TRUTH #1:
Trey was seen buying a large coffee at a local Saratoga Springs coffee shop this morning. No Starbucks for this star! Go Trey!

TRUTH #2: (*New!*)
Trey was seen at Borders on Broadway last week buying books. Boo Trey -- skip the chain and stop by the Lyrical Ballad!


Stay tuned for more Trey in 'Toga updates as the plot thickens! Feel free to share any intel you have in the comment section below....

Signing off,
Kenneth Gaines

As our story develops, anyone who can support or refute any of these claims PLEASE chime in!!

I think our anonymous reporter needs to make contact with The Meatman to confirm the truth of this matter. I suggest hanging around Esperanto's between the hours of 10pm and 2am. Weeknight preferably.

It was only a matter of time before the Hendo Bendo Blog Bonanza turned into a bonified bonner-fest for Mr. Anastasio. I say its about time. Let's see if I can call the next blog post -- My bet is on YEM into tweezer reprise. Whheeewwwwhooo!

Our plan all along was to slowly hone in towards Trey and Phish. This is just bigger than us and always has been. It is now time for us at HBBB to accept our fate. Wilson, King of Prussia here we come.

I can confirm that Trey was at Four Seasons buying groceries w/his family Saturday. Speculation about whether he is living here to be closer to mandatory drug testing or moved here to get away from drug scene where he was at. Could really give a shit but thought y'all would like to know. Philthyrex

Hahaha. Thanks Philth. We know you really couldn't give the slightest fuck, so thanks especially for chiming in here. You're reporting is much appreciated.

Trey seems more like a Putnam Market type these days (ala Eddie "You Gotta Check Out Their Cheeses" Spaghetti), but glad to hear he can still get down.

Pretty definate that he is living in town. He also bought a turntable at Last Vestige. Have seen him twice now. Supposedly after some dude waited on Trey at U.G., he turned to a fellow worker and said, "that guy could totally win a Trey look-alike contest"! Funny! It's just that I hate hippy travelers and trustafarians. Plus I'd rather listen to Zappa or The Dead. Do like a couple of the pop tunes "I saw you dancing with Eleyhu up on ----'s bed". I don't dig the piano player or particularly like Trey's tone or chops. Just not my jam. Enjoy, Philthy
