Off and on and off!
I will be out on the truck tomorrow, April 1st. For sure. It took a bit of wrangling to work it out, because the blessed City Of New York is sitting on some permits. The next time I’ll be out is sometime around April 6, and after that I will be easy to find. I’m [...]
New shirt
Bryan has been designing shirts that feature some of the funnier press quotes we’ve received. He has done a few new ones, and here is today’s favorite. New York Press wrote a fun article comparing us to the standard New York City ice cream truck. After you’ve read the article, located here, you’ll understand the [...]
Operations upgrade, report 1
If you’ve been with this blog from the beginning you know that in the beginning we were truly “winging it.” I started off without the slightest clue how to do any of this stuff. Somehow we managed to get through our first summer, and on the way we learned quite a bit. Our main goal [...]
Quotable
“If there’s a sweeter sign of summer than flaming gay ice cream, we have yet to find it.”
Looking for the Big Gay Ice Cream Truck?
We’re (nearly) back. On April 1st (weather permitting, naturally) we’ll be starting a part-time service schedule. Expect all your favorite toppings and specialty cones to return. In late May Doug has to pop over to Beijing to play a concert, so there will be a short closure. As June begins we’ll turn on full-blazes through the summer. By then we will have launched [...]
Get ready.
I’m writing up an announcement detailing our start date- look for it in the next day. I didn’t intend to get the truck out so soon, but there are too many ideas burning in my brain which can only be soothed with ice cream….
Best. Game. Ever.
If you’ve got a passion for Atari 2600-quality video games you’ll love this. Adult Swim is hosting an excellent game called Cream Wolf. The premise is great: serve ice cream to kids during the day and plump them up while avoiding the cops. When the full moon comes you turn into a werewolf and gobble up the kids. [...]
You’re married? Well, eat your ice cream!
This is an historic day in Washington DC. Last week same-sex couples were in line to apply for marriage licenses. Their mandatory waiting period is now over, and the weddings have begun. As of the writing of this post the earth is still on the new axis created by the Chilean earthquake, and I’ve not heard [...]

Grandpa Simpson, on his family’s lack of distinct heritage: ”In a world of thirty-one flavors, we’re the cup of water they rinse the scoops in.”Good one, Abe.
Save the date: AIDS WALK NY
Thanks to all of you who voted for us in the Time Out NY poll. I suppose that the results are being tabulated by a trusted accounting firm. Isn’t that what is always said before awards shows? We don’t find out until the presentation if who “gets the gold” and though we’ll be plenty nervous [...]
