[ this carnivore craze seems to find its spiritual ancestor in dancing --
you snatch a rhythm here, a beat there, a slight movement that denotes --
a melody. like sniffing packets to then create an assemblage, who knows --
perhaps we'll learn to read the results somehow, and respond --
like some huge cardiovascular system, limbic in essence --
again you can tune in to us on SUNDAY @ http://share.ffem.org --

MILLION MERMAID MARCH (Mermaid Parade tomorrow, Saturday)
June 13, 2002, New York, NY -- Legalize Dancing NYC (LDNYC) and The Dance
Liberation Front (DLF) are joining forces to fight NYC's cabaret laws in the
2002 Coney Island Mermaid Parade and extending an open invitation to all of
New York City to join us in the fight for our right to dance!
The two groups are sponsoring a "Million Mermaid March" float and inviting
all Mermaids (as well as Neptunes and other aquatic life forms) to march with
us in fighting to deregulate dance in New York City.
You can join "the Million Mermaid March" at West 16th Street in Coney Island
between 10 a.m.-- 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, June 22nd where we will be
decorating vehicles and ourselves. The Mermaid Parade commences at 2:00 p.m..
We are encouraging everyone to bring percussion instruments and/or whistles.
To get to Coney Island by train take the F, Q or W trains to Stillwell
Avenue-Coney Island (the last stop) which will let you out on Surf Ave. 16th
Street is a couple of blocks away. Be on the lookout for after party
on the beach! (w/ soca and hip hop from Danny Casolaro, BK)
While it may sounds like a joke, the NYC cabaret laws are very real and have
for the last several years adversely affected our city's economy, culture and
community. These antiquated statutes were originally written during
prohibition in the 1920s and made it illegal to dance in any establishment
without a cabaret license--which are now virtually impossible to obtain. The
cabaret laws were resurrected the in the late-90s by the Giuliani
administration and were selectively enforced causing hundreds of
establishments undue economic hardship and damaging NYC's once-vibrant dance
culture.
We assert that dancing is a fundamental right that need not be regulated by
government; that a flourishing dance culture is good for the NYC economy and
culture; and that dancing fosters positive social relations making for a
stronger and healthier community. Outside of the dance regulations, our group
supports safety codes, capacity limits, noise statues, drug and alcohol laws,
and any other laws in the best interest of the NYC community.
Legalize Dancing NYC is currently working with City Councilmen Alan Gerson,
other pro-dance organizations (DLF, Yehoodi, Mother, etc.), the New York
Nightlife Association, civil rights lawyer Norman Siegel, NYU Law Professor
Paul Chevigny, the Bloomberg administration, local business owners, and the
NYC community at large to introduce pro-dance legislation to the New York
City Council. With your support, these laws will be repealed. We are planning
a massive rally in Tompkins Square Park for late September to coincide with
the legislation. We are also holding a fundraiser July 17th at the Slipper
Room in Manhattan.
