I hope it happens again next year in the exact same surroundings...not squeezed between a Sony Theater and Starbucks

A huge thank you to Debi Stern, artist, philanthropist and Coney Island USA supporter from Tucson, Arizona, who made it all possible by buying judgeships for our group. What a great day! And what a great view from the judge's stand! I'm just uploading my pics to flickr set at http://www.flickr.com/photos/27469924@N06/sets/72157605746915120/
but here are a couple of my early favorites.

"Amy Winehouse" Marches in Coney Island Mermaid Parade 2008 and sings "They Wanted Me to 2 Go CONDO but I said NO NO NO!
If anyone wants to repost please be sure to include a link to the flickr site to help spread info on the scoping meeting and "What can I do to help Save Coney?"

Great Parade! Thanks Mermaids!

Here are my top 42 pictures.
http://flickr.com/photos/stevenc_in_nyc/sets/72157605753977543/
I have over 861 pictures and will be posting some 140 more, but if you are looking for anything, please let me know.

PS: I took a lot of the Marine Antoinettes (as I do of this group every year, but I only caught one rehearsal so not as many action shots).

Best slogan yet!

I think a huge *This or That* poster could be quite effective.

*A picture of Coney covered in Buildings* or *A picture of Coney with lots of Amusements*

Hello photographers. Looking for photos of 152/652
Reply #11 - Jun 22^nd, 2008, 8:13pm

we are looking for pictures/video of entry 652, a/k/a 152, the big flat black fornicating creatures. which was close to the last if not the last entrant in the parade, right before the queen and king, we also walked down the beach with the monsters so that they could taste the world girdling ocean, which reminds them of their homeworld, ages ago.

this are some of them:

thanks! there is no social/cultural/religious event that is more joyous than the parade.

Hi Steven, what a tease, can't wait to see what you shot this year. Only saw one antoinette in your collection (the lovely Lia's beautiful decolletage). I want to see MORE, love and champage!!! A Marine Antoinette ready for photo cake

I would never tease a Marine Antoinette--I would only please her. Here is your cake:
http://flickr.com/photos/stevenc_in_nyc/sets/72157605760231980/

It's a large set so it took a while to upload. I think you may have found them by now. Plenty more of you all in there (though there was another in the smaller set, too, a shot of the dance with the lifting of the skirt). These are the better ones--but I do have more if you want them.

A couple years ago, Michelle posted some of my MirMaids shots, and you're welcome to post any of these if you have a site this year.
