cool memorial day

even hipsters love icecream!
If you made the trek to the Gorge for Sasquatch on Memorial Day weekend, you may have noticed the guys who arrived in an ice cream truck. Given the sweltering heat, you probably looked longingly at the vehicle thinking of the cool treats within. The people, the truck, and their ice cream actually made the 1200 mile journey to attend the festival as more than just a crazy road trip:
But who are we really you might be asking? We are a whole generation. We were those kids who had all the crazy ideas and who have now grown up. Some of us have money. Others have time and skill. Regardless, we are in the midst of fashioning an open space that reflects our core values of peace, prosperity, and friendship. [icecreamman.com]
