Oh Bene Bene Bene Barto Bene. So cute you are, so cute and fully functional resplendant in sharp pinstripe warm color palette, jiffyfont offset with plenty of white space. You park on Oakwood, and sometimes Rosewood, and once maybe as far north as Clinton. Never the north-south streets for you, little Bene Bene! Does your steering work properly, or is it not by choice? You park on the East-West streets for weeks at a time, always facing east and then you disappear! …you disappear overnight for days, weeks at a time. Just where in the Christ Almighty do you go when you leave! Are you in training? You are in training, aren’t you, Bene Bene. You want to be a grown-up truck but you are so cute and tiny now. You tout ‘gelato’ yet your inside is gutted and appears to be in a state of serious transition. 
Bene bene bene bene bene, bene, bene. Where is your gelato, Bene. I want a Gelato, Bene. One day I am going to find you parked on an East street, buy you or just plain old-fashioned steal you and trick you out hardcore to be a miniature kid-brother version of the i&i mobile soundsystem. I shall then drive the East and West streets of Los Angeles, ten feet behind Aurelito and Shakespeare*, passing out tiny single servings of dubreggae everywhere I go all the while the peal of my voice chalks up the husky evening air, “BenebenebenebenebenebeneBene!”

respect due! watch the ride….i’m sure the sound operators of i&i sound would be flattered to read this….but they’ve worked long and hard years on that idea to make it very original for someone to take a bite and steal the idea in less than a minute….ouch! that would hurt and be going against the sound system culture and their motto
of creativity,love and ingenuity! as they’ve always said “biters” beware….they’ve already got the truck “destiny” worldwide. enjoy what they have to offer …don’t steal it. bless.

[...] After wasting away for the better part of a year without serving so much as a single wooden sampler spoonful of gelato, the Bene Bene Mini-Truck of Fairfax Village fell victim to a ruthless tagging. We sent our writer deep undercover, straight to the seamy underbelly of Gelato gangland to decipher the cryptic vandalism. Eventually he returned with minor scrapes and the following translations which we now present to you, faithful reader. [...]
[...] Longtime followers of this site are no doubt familiar with the adventures of the Bene Bene Mini-Truck of Fairfax Village (one, two, three). Rumor has it the truck will be making a triumphant return to form, serving up not only creamy gelato but also bizarre ice creams from Japan, which, technically, is neither bordering the Mediterranean nor shaped like a boot when you think about it.
