Less than a Month to Go / Ice Cream Makes It Official!

An admission: This is a lot more work than we expected.

That being said, things are looking better all the time! We have ice cream! Even with the permits, music, and other events, it didn’t feel like we were planning a real party until Half Yard Productions said they could bring ice cream. They’re shooting a pilot for a new cooking show with two crazy scientist chefs, Johnny & Dave, at the party. The chefs will be making 300 gallons of ice cream with liquid nitrogen in the back of a pickup truck and giving it away at the party! So bring out your ice cream cones and sprinkles on Sept. 7th, if you’re into that kind of thing. And don’t worry, the pilot will not be aired, so your face is safe from the scrutiny of tv-viewers nationwide.

Also, a new local bike shop, Dah Shop (134 Division Street), will be hosting a bike diagnostic station at the party. If you bring your sick bikes to them, they’ll tell you what you need to get it back in shape again. And if you’re looking to get into biking or have any questions, you can ask them or Transportation Alternatives as well.

We’re still waiting for confirmation from the bands. They’re all really fun and danceable, we hope they say Yes. We’re also really excited that Stoked Mentoring is going to have an activity at the party. It’s a great non-profit that mentors at-risk youth through sports like skateboarding and snowboarding.

And finally, the LES BID is going to have a health fair one block over from us. So you can get yourself checked out, learn about health services, donate some blood, get some ice cream to get your blood sugar back up & dance with us!

Want to volunteer or get involved? Leave a comment or contact us! Also, if you or someone you know would like to donate a P.A. system, we will be forever grateful.

See you soon!
