June 17, 2014: Same Time, Next Year: the Coney Island Edition
Since 1989 I've served as MC of the Coney Island Mermaid Parade. This Sat., June 21, represents my 25th year behind the mic. It's hard to believe I've been associated with a yearly event that long. But then I look around and realize I'm involved in other yearly events, too: the WFMU Fundraising Marathon and the WFMU Record Fair, for instance. And every year for almost ten I'm in Louisville in March and Dallas in August for work. I generally don't think about yearly events until they sneak up on me. And I don't otherwise encounter the people with whom I share these events. I'm curious to hear which yearly events you're part of and whether you see those participants outside of the event. And I'd love to know what keeps you going back year after year. We'll also talk about your favorite amusement park ride.
