Henrietta returned to The Garden
the day after the Baker's Dozen finale to take a picture of Phish's future spot on Madison Square Garden's Walk of Fame. Funny/weird twist: the MSG security would not allow her to take a picture of Phish's plaque next to Billy Joel's! I'm not kidding - we even politely asked please. Everywhere else was fine for pictures, but they had strong feelings about the Piano Man's spot. The rivalry continues!
