Fan Throws Bill Murray Ice Cream Social: 'Lost In Translation' Star Shows Up (PHOTOS)

For a long time actor Bill Murray's exploits have been the stuff of internet legend; there's even a website devoted to the subject, www.billmurraystory.com.

Murray can - and often does - appear anywhere, at any time to join the party.

In the past few years, Murray has appeared in a couple's engagement photo, crashed a bachelor party, played a game of kickball with a team in Austin and, just this week, had ice-cream with a food truck owner who threw a party in his honor.

When Joe Nicchi, owner of CVT Soft Serve in Los Angeles, discovered where Murray was filming, he drew up a plan to draw the star to an "ice cream social."

Murray didn't disappoint.

Joe told Gawker, "My name is Joe, and I'm the guy standing next to Bill. I own an ice cream business in Los Angeles and I heard through the grapevine that Bill Murray was shooting a movie in my neighborhood last night. I decided to throw a "Bill Murray Ice Cream Social" near set with the hope that he'd show up. How often do you get to meet your idol? I invited the entire neighborhood and the cast and crew of the film for free ice cream. Long story short, the guest of honor made it to the party and the rest is history. Like my dad always says 'You'll never dance with the pretty girl unless you ask.' If you want to look us up when you're in LA we're @CVTSoftServe on the Twitter, the Facebook and the Instagram.

Rumor has it, Murray was charming and nice (we expected nothing less) and even suggested ice cream be brought to the crew who weren't able to leave the set.

Here's hoping Bill Murray shows up to my next party.
