Last night I was stopped by the police who were ready to give me a ticket for putting a Save Ray’s poster on a wall, which is a misdemeanor. When the officer saw Ray’s face on the poster and I told him I was just promoting an event to help this old friend, he said: “I know the man, and this time I’m gonna let you go.” It was the power of Ray’s charisma and that of love talking! The communication face to face, looking at people’s eyes to see what they’re saying… We heard and understood each other. I called it a night and came back home.

Momofuku Launches Red Velvet Soft-Serve
The cake-to-ice-cream transition brings its share of perils. So, after much deliberation, Momofuku Milk Bar unveils Red Velvet in soft-serve ice cream form, along with Carrot Cake and Cream Cheese Frosting flavors. Only time will tell if this is a good idea or a really, really fantastic idea. (via urbandaddy.com)
