Before anyone gets too caught up in planning costumes and=
 whatnot, you should all know that the response to my many=
 requests for volunteers for the "Mermaid Militia" at the Coney=
 Island Mermaid Parade has been terrible. So far, I count a total=
 of 5: Bonnie, Bob, Nic, Dawn and me. I hit up the lpny_manhattan=
 and manhattanlp-business lists several times, as well as the=
 scope-nyc list. We sent out an announcement to our Manhattan LP=
 email database, which includes everyone in LPHQ's database for=
 Manhattan, Brooklyn, Bronx and Staten Island. Nobody is=
 interested.

I'm surprised, because I thought it sounded like a terrific idea=
 and a lot of fun. What do you guys think? Is it even worth doing=
 if it's just the 5 of us? I'm on the fence.
