Conetastic

April 19: The day Joan of Arc was declared a saint. The 1995 Oklahoma City bombings. The death of Charles Darwin. My friend Margeau�s birthday.

But as far as DcFud readers are concerned, April 19 is special because it�s Freeeeeeee Cone Day over at Ben & Jerry�s from 12-8 p.m. today. So if your office or apartment�s in close proximity to a location, or if you just feel like taking an afternoon field trip, go enjoy a cone! Over at the CityPlace branch in Silver Spring, the lines were long, but the conditions were Soup-Nazi-esque, so things moved rather quickly.

So go on � brighten your day with a little Cherry Garcia. You know you want to.

Good lord, you shoulda seen the line at the Dupont B&J around 3:00 PM. No way I was hitting that. Did anybody score a free cone anywhere? Nonetheless, thanks for the reminder, MJF. Free cone is fabulous! Maybe my timing/location will be better next year.

I waited about 15 minutes in Silver Spring around 2.

Around 5pm I only waited about 10 min at Silver Spring B&J's.
But when I got to the front of the line, they told me they were out of New York Souper Fudge Chunk. I was devasted. Luckily I regained my composure long enough to order a Fudge Brownie Chunk or whatever it was called.
I didn't realize that B&J's stores are certified Kosher, but there were a bunch of Orthodox Jews getting their ice cream on. Nothing brings out Jews like free Kosher food.

having never lived or worked near a B&J before, and suddenly finding myself both living and working near one, i have to admit that i went overboard and had a cone of cookies and cream at the silver spring location during the day and then a cup of peanut butter cup at the chevy chase location after work. both times i waited about 10 minutes. then i went to the gym for an hour. it was worth it!
