Hurricane Sandy destroyed the Coney Island Circus Sideshow and the Freak Bar, two venues that fund Coney Island's annual Mermaid Parade. So Coney Island USA, the organization that puts on the parade, has turned to Kickstarter in search of $100,000 to hold the parade this June. The campaign is up to $23,667, with all of the big rewards still remaining to be claimed. [Kickstarter via Daily Intel; previously]
