As mentioned, the annual Coney Island Mermaid Parade is in danger and have launched a Kickstarter to help keep it afloat in 2013 and years to come. They’re currently about halfway to their $100,000 goal with 20 days left. No stranger to crowdfunding, Amanda Palmer is playing a Mermaid Parade benefit at Bowery Ballroom on May 25. The event promises “special celebrity appearances and guest performers” as well as Coney Island sideshow performers. Tickets are $25 and go on sale TONIGHT (5/14) at 7 PM.

Meanwhile, Judah Friedlander has filmed a “Save the Mermaid Parade” PSA and you can watch that below.

In addition to the Mermaid Parade benefit, Amanda will be appearing at another benefit: the PS 122 Spring Gala on June 10. The event, which raises money for the East Village performance space, also features Neil Gaiman, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Carmelita Tropicana. Tickets, which run from $350 – $25,000, are on sale now. Amanda has lots of other tour dates — including Lincoln Center Out of Doors fest — and all are listed below.
