Thanks to everyone who joined us at R Bar for a very fun evening!
We screened 10 minutes of our Mermaids of New York documentary, raffled off fabulous mermaid prizes (generously donated by our friends Carolyn Turgeon, La Sirena (Mexican Arts & Crafts) and Sourpuss Clothing) and of course, drinking Coney Island Memaid Lager!
But the best part of all was meeting new new mermaid friends and catching up with some that have been riding the waves with us since we first embarked on this journey.
Thankfully, Jason Falchook was on hand to capture some of the highlights…
What can I say, we get excited about raffles!

If you are curious about that last photo, well, you’ll just have to come to one of our screenings to find out what happens next!

Thirdly, Lavalier will be setting the musical score for the night (and our film!). They are one of NYC’s newest, coolest bands, you will not want to miss the chance to hear them live. Plus special guest performance by Shelly “The Singing Siren” Watson!

Last summer we produced a short film about our first mermaid subject, The Brooklyn Babydoll. We were lucky enough to have this film premiere at Coney Island Museum as part of the 2008 Coney Island Film Festival. It was a rainy day but that didn’t stop us from showing up full of mermaid pride. The Brooklyn Babydoll, herself made sure we arrived in style in a white stretch limo all the way from Bensonhurst! The film screened along with a great selection of New York inspired short films with subjects ranging from birds to baseball to carneys and virgins, couldn’t have asked for better company!
