I pride myself on knowing a decent amount about this city, and I was known at work as the person who would know about all of the obscure events happening on any given day, so it's struck me as odd that I had never made it out to the Mermaid Parade at Coney Island until this year. I will probably go back in next year, but I will spend my time by the finish line, where I can catch the parade participants out of character, post-parade, but still quite happy to pose. Or maybe I'll don some body paint and glitter and head out down Surf Avenue myself.
