The opening was packed with Coney Island artists and friends, SoHo types, mermaids serving wine and dancing...The NY Times just posted a slide show with some photos in the exhibition

The gallery also made up postcards for visitors to write out and mail back to them at the "Save Coney Island Society"

The message says:  
Dear Speaker Quinn,
I urge you to prevent the proposed change change of Coney Island's C-7 amusement zoning that will allow for condo development and sterile shopping malls.

Coney Island is beloved by millions of New Yorkers.  Your focus should be on attracting new amusements and compatible development
