Fundraising for Coney Island parade
[edit]In the wake of Hurricane Sandy, which devastated Coney Island, Alt Variety helped to host a benefit concert for the Coney Island Mermaid Parade at Bowery Ballroom, featuring headliners Amanda Palmer, Mina Caputo, and Abel Ferrara.[1][2] Alt Variety also enlisted Judah Friedlander to help raise public awareness about the imperiled parade after founder and editor in chief Lee Wong asked the comedian to create a service announcement to solicit donations.[3]
