robertina Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 here's what the actual Ice Cream Man of Los Angeles wrote! he's so kind to send us the link to his blog, with words and pics about the event! (pics had already been digged by our FBI agents....) THANKS ICE CREAM MAN!!! :wub2: Free Cream with Mika and Perez Hilton in Beverly HillsWords by Ice Cream Man Photos by Ice Cream Man The last few days I felt like I was part of the A-Team. I got a call over the weekend asking if we had an ice cream truck available Monday-Wednesday for something to do with Perez Hilton. Hmmm… this could either be cool, like his party in Austin during SXSW, or this could be a lil boring… like a book signing. We did happen to be free and I was curious where this would lead so I offered up our services. After a few more calls back and forth I realized I was actually talking to the manager for international pop superstar Mika. If for some reason you don’t know him check out this vid or this one. So the mission….as spelled out via http://www.perezhilton.com was that Mika was going to be doing a free show today (Wednesday) at a secret location and the only way to get tickets was to show up at a park in Beverly Hills and to find the ice cream truck where Mika and Perez might be giving away free treats. It was all very mysterious and, as you can imagine, Mika’s fans (part of them from the MFC…. Mika Fan Club) were eating up the chance to have Mika AND Perez sling some cream to them and get a wristband to see an intimate show. I played along and got to the park early to secure a good parking spot and to help blow up balloons. I opened up the serving window right at 6:00PM and started dishing treats to those waiting. The line went all the way down the block, around the corner, then most of the way down another side of the block. A few minutes in someone tapped on the door and sure enough, it was the man of the hour, Mika. Not long after that Perez came crawling over the driver’s seat and they posted up next to each other, sitting on a cooler and an old safe I found in the back of Newt. The commotion around the truck was crazy. Dozens of cameras appeared and people completely forgot about the free ice cream. All they wanted was a picture with Perez and Mika or an autograph or both. My job was surprisingly easy. Every once in a while I’d dig through the cooler to find a treat but for the most part, everyone seemed to only want ice cream sandwiches, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, or Strawberry Shortcakes. I did my best to snap some pics but it was a lil bit tough from the back and I didn’t want to be that guy who couldn’t stop taking pics. For those lucky enough to wait the hour in line to get a wristband and ice cream from the two gents, they’ll be treated to a free show at The Roxy at 8:00 on Wednesday. Mika just finished recording his new album and he wants to play some tracks off it for fans before returning to Europe. I wish I could tell you of a way to get into the show but all the tix are gone and they’re not selling any. I think I’m gonna head up but haven’t decided if I wanted to sling cream or not. We’ll see I love it when a plan comes together! original article http://www.icecreamman.com/article/detail/mika-perez-hilton-cream-slingin'>http://www.icecreamman.com/article/detail/mika-perez-hilton-cream-slingin from his blog http://www.icecreamman.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Sky Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 (edited) And I want to say a special thank you to the icecream man for tweeting his flickr photostream, so that when I was doing/searching all the #MIKA stuff on twitter I found him and his pics before things even got underway. It was as close to a live feed as we got, and it was HEAPS of fun. Thanks @icecreamman (and I did feel a bit like the FBI Robi, but that is sorta my thing isn't it.... no gigs on this side of the world and living in a favourable time zone...and desperate enough to spend several hours on the job!!)

Yes we have indeed been a bit spoiled by you holding watch and catching the first news for us. I thought about you before I switched on the computer, wondering if you had found something like you use to do and I was a little surprised to that it was Robertina who had started the thread! And a few seconds later there was nothing else on my mind than the cute, cute pics of Mr Curly in the park! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
