It's Tuesday and Ray Pays the February Rent and a Con Edison Turn-Off Notice ....


Ray pulled a Strawberry ice cream cone tonight . Strawberry being one of the three flavors that he is still able to make . Most of his six ice cream machines are broken with 1/2 of each of 3 machines working . Each machine makes 2 flavors .
Ray is now short on supplies . He needs the basics : cigarettes , potatoes , oil ,waffle mix , sodas , etc. . Today it became more difficult than ever to purchase these and other basics , having paid out over $4500 to the landlord and Con Edison . Such is business ; at least the payments ended the court issued dispossess action against Ray and kept the power on so that he can continue doing business .
Money is coming in . Ray has customers--3 out of 4 say they saw Ray on the Internet --but just not quite enough of them .The expenses are considerable though . Fines paid to city and state agencies and the considerable decrease in business on avenue A--affecting all businesses on the avenue --have set him back too much .Mayor Bloomberg has taken most of the profit from his cigarette sales .
There are more benefits planned for Ray . The latest to be announced will be on March 8th at the Theater for the New City on 1st avenue at 10 street . We have heard of one at the Bowery Poetry club too but we don't have any details . As we learn more of the fundraising events we will publish the details .

Comments:
I am so happy things are progressing in a positive way for Ray.
 
NYC needs more strawberry cones!
 
Just look at the grime on the machine and Ray's hands.
The non-functioning soft-serve units become incubators for legions of roaches... really.
The NYC Dep't of Health is inept and ineffective; Ray's needs to be shuttered immediately.
Anyone with any sort of compromised immune system should not eat anything from Ray's.
 
a BIG BIG SHOUTOUT to all THIS makes you PROUD to be a NEW YORKER ..
 
To Crass Flesh : Rays machines are routinely scrubbed with a very powerful restaurant grade oxidizing sanitizer . what you might know as bleach .All the nonfunctioning machines are cleaned and sanitized when they are to remain in a non functional state .

When the Health dept. comes to inspect , the ice cream machines are a central issue . Considerable time is spent inspecting the machines and certifying the cleaning/sanitizing procedures .

Ray's hands are not grimy and dirty . What you see is the cameras high contrast image which as a digital artifact emphasises the color and darker value of the portion of Ray's hands in shadow . this is all an artifact of the high contrast processing .The scene was photographed this way to emphasize the ice cream cone , to make it stand out .
 
CRASS FLESH IS A COWARDLY JERKOFF SCUMBAG WHO NEEDS A GOOD ASSKICKING SIGN YOUR NAME TO YOUR COMMENTS YOU WON'T WILL YOU CAUSE YOU ARE TOO COWARDLY TO COME OUT OF YOUR FECES INFESTED RAT HOLE !!!!
 
Crass Flesh thinks he is/she is/it is being funny using that pseudonym. Whoever/whatever you are, you're a fucking cowardly piece of shit. And YOU know it as well as we do!!
 
guys, this is a blog.
ok?
a blog.
all of you guys that are on here on a daily (hourly?) basis need to CHILL the FUCK OUT!!!

bob, the blog is great.

all the douche bag comments and dick grabbing really suck though.

What is it about the internet that drives everyone into overdrive with their responses? "cowardly"? it's the internet! "going to kick your ass!"? it's the internet!

CHILL OUT YOU FUCKING SCUM ASS FUCK SHITS OR I WILL FUCKING KICK YOUR COWARDLY ASSES!!!

^looks stupid right?

cause it's the internet!
 
Patrick [at least you put your first name on your post ] why did you ignore the coward's post and criticize us. This Ahole is and has in the past said nasty things about me and he has made a deliberate attempt to get the Health Dept. to shut Ray down. Why did you ignore that and go after me ? What is your agenda ? Are you the same person who wants Ray closed ?
 
medication with talk therapy is needed here
 
Point taken, Patrick.

Chronic provocative posters justify a response in kind, though the provocateurs, usually insignificant misanthropic pieces of crap who have no real lives to speak of, are gratified by receiving ANY form of acknowledgement, whether negative or positive. THIS is their sex, their substitute for meaningful human interaction.

People like John Penley and myself may come on strong as we give these miscreants hell, but as we are passionate about our friends and neighbors, we fight because we care and because we are RIGHT!!
 
People should Give the SLACTIVIST A MEDAL as he has allways spoken up about the Lower East Side Next time you see John A well Done and Thanks would be GRATEFUL ...
