I don't think these pictures get the message out, enough. This is an unusual ice cream truck. Here is a quote from the CCA alumni website:
Dessert was served from the lively Tactical Ice Cream Unit, a working ice cream truck and interactive space for art and activism created by the Center for Tactical Magic (co-founded by alumnus Aaron Gach). Along with free ice cream, participants had their choice of free propaganda on such topics as alternative economic systems or the mass media.
Our pal Heidi J was telling me about a friend of hers that was indeed kidnapped by an ice cream truck! In Thailand (?) -- the mother heard her daughter's screams and took off after the truck, along with her friends, all in cars. They were able to rescue the girl! Way to go book club ladies!
Now Heidi J's friend, who lives in Utah County and has children of her own, rounds up all the children on her block and shoves them sweetly into her back yard when the ice cream truck comes by. Then she breaks out the ice cream!
S thinks ice cream truck drivers are all pedophiles. Hmmm. Big statement but perhaps there is some truth to it. They are all odd looking men. And why don't they do something else for a living? Why are the trucks so big? I remember that they used to be smaller. Why is the ice cream so expensive?
This truck made a lot of sense -- free ice cream and blatant propaganda in Oakland, CA. Anarchy and Gender Issues are served with ice cream sandwiches and popsicles. I don't know if the police man/ice cream truck driver authority figure usually sells the stuff, it was for the CCAC (now CCA) alumni reunion.
