Two girls I knew in West Virginia drove up to see a show in Pittsburgh (I believe this was in either 94 or 95). The night before the show they go to a bar, and lo and behold, who is sitting there, but Mr. Trey Anastasio himself.

They walk up and introduce themselves and shake his hand and all of that. One of the girls gets her picture with him and leaves him alone. The other girl, who is super hot by the way, stays at Trey's side and continues talking.

She starts going off on the whole "Ohmygod... you'resoimportanttome... youdon'tknowwhat- yourmusichasdoneforme" spiel.

Trey thanks her and asks her if she'd like a beer. She continues on with her whole "You're like a god" thing and Trey again laughs and thanks her and offers her a drink. Repeat this scenario about five more times and finall Trey turns to her and says "I GET IT!!! I'M GREAT!!! DO YOU WANT A FUCKING BEER?!?!" She finally relents and accepts a beer. Trey flees immediately after.

The moral of the story? just accept the damn beer.

peace,
