On Weekend Edition Saturday, New Yorkers get a taste of Doug Quint’s Big Gay Ice Cream Truck:
“If I weren’t gay, I wouldn’t call it the Big Gay Ice Cream Truck. And if I weren’t happy, I wouldn’t have the Big Gay Ice Cream Truck. It would just be the big crabby ice cream truck,” Quint says.
Quint, who is a classically trained bassoonist, has only been in the ice cream business for a few months. The ice cream truck is just a summer gig while most orchestras are on break.
From Quint’s Big Gay Ice Cream Truck blog:
Last week George Bodarky, host of an excellent local public radio show called Cityscape, came by the truck. Some of you even spoke to his microphone; thanks for being good sports. George has assembled a bit about BGICT, and it will air [on Weekend Edition sometime Saturday morning]. I haven’t heard the segment, but since I have George’s phone number I suspect he would not say anything too vicious.
