Tonight in Seattle:  

Join us for a very imaginary ice cream social on Thursday, July 12th!

We promised a ton of imaginary events to celebrate our tenth anniversary, and true to our word, we've got another one around the corner! Now that you're fully recovered from the Rockstar New Wave Karaoke Party, it's time to get a little summertime on and join us on the Hill for some treats: yep, we're talking about an old-fashioned Ice Cream Social, and you're invited!

Imaginary staffers and friends will be gathering on Thursday, July 12th at Bluebird Ice Cream on Capitol Hill, and we want you to join us! It's free and all ages, and we'll even have some live music -- we'll be hanging out for happy hour from 5pm til 7pm, and D. Crane and the Unlikely Friends (of BOAT fame) will be performing right around the six o'clock hour. Come say hello, have a treat, and if you haven't done so already, you'll be able to pick up your very own copy of the imaginary zine. You can get it online, of course, but it's a whole lot more fun to get it in your hands live and in-person, with a fresh cone of Birthday Cake-flavored goodness and all your pals around, don't you think?

You're the adult now, so you get to decide what's best: ice cream for dinner! Pop on up to Bluebird after work on the 12th and hang out with us. And not like you need it, but here's a little reminder about how awesome BOAT is, just to get you double-dip excited.

We'll see you on the 12th!

Several years ago I saw BOAT open up for somebody at the Crocodile and in between songs they were talking about this game they were playing as a band where they would combine other band names with ice cream flavors. I don't remember what they came up with, but for the rest of the set all I could do was try and think of band name ice cream flavors.

I sent them a message the next day with the few that I had come up with: The Long Minters, Death Cab for Fruity (that one was a stretch), a few others I can't remember anymore, and my personal fave- BOATmeal raisin.

D. Crane wrote back saying that they liked the Long Minters, and he included a nice drawing of a guy saying "Death Cab For Fruity?" (I knew it was kind of a stretch).

Good to see the BOAT-ice cream connection is still alive and well.

I love this story! It also perfectly sums up exactly why listening to D. Crane while licking ice cream cones is the best way to spend a Thursday happy hour!!!

Question: Now that the BOAT fellas have got our ice cream flavor juices flowing... any ideas for an imaginary ice cream flavor name???

(hint: it's going to be in the birthday cake flavor family)

 

Three Imaginary Swirls?

Imaginary Chiptoria? (that's supposed to be for Victoria)

M&Mbracey?

That's all I can come up so far....
I still have the drawing D. Crane sent. I dug through some boxes and found it yesterday.

one scoop of Liz Lemon, please...

Liz Lemon-well done. disappointed I didn't think of it myself.
