It's that time again. Time to post about something I'll never get my hands on. But if you live in New York, you can! Welcome back, The Big Gay Ice Cream Truck.

Doug Quint and his partner Bryan Petroff started the Big Gay Ice Cream Truck in 2009. Quint is professional bassoonist but decided to venture off during the Summer time when he wasn't touring with the Zephyros Winds.

Intrigued? Visit the website to find out where the truck will be. If you don't feel like trailing after a truck, you can visit the Gay Ice Cream SHOP! Yes, that's right. What once was a sole truck has branched out to an ice cream shop.
