Ben Folds is planning a holiday with several of his favorite other artists, entertainers and most devoted fans. The Ben Folds Experience cruise sails from the Port of Miami on February 21, 2008.

“I wanted to get a lot of talented musical artists together with possibly a few comedians and have some kind of magical experience,” says Folds. In a note to his fans about his plans for an upcoming musical vacation, he wrote, “The idea of painting a large bus psychedelic purple, not taking baths for a week and driving around the country jamming out on one chord about the war got shot down quickly.”

Other acts performing on the Ben Folds Experience cruise include Amanda Palmer of Dresden Dolls, Eef Barzelay of Clem Snide, Corn Mo, and many others which will be announced in the coming weeks. Information will be updated on www.benfoldsexperience.com as it becomes available.

The Ice Cream Man just got back from Austin, Texas where the Ice Cream Crew gave away over 8000 free ice creams during their second annual trip to South by Southwest.

As you’ll witness by the thousand-plus pics in their SXSW Review, they had an unforgettable time.  Giving Playboy Bunnies Ice Cream maybe the highlight from the trip.

They  also away over 5000 copies of  the second Off the Wookie Magazine which was a hit. It’s pocket sized and is perfect to hand out with free treats from Bessie and the Bessita’s.

You can view the whole zine online HERE.

They’ve only got a few print copies left but if you really want one, you can prolly email The Ice Cream Man and bug him to get a hard copy your way.

Jump in and dig around the massive review if you have time. There are stories in there from the Bessita drivers, Starr and Gooch, as well as some words from the newest crew member, James Boo.
