^v^ EVENTS ^v^
This event will be in Manhattan 7/23/11 . There will be another mermaid cabaret in Philly PA 7/27 & 7/28 when Naughty Nautical Nite arises from it’s watery grave.
Philadelphia's tall ship Gazela, will be hosting an 8 day arts and music festival at Penn’s Landing from Saturday July 23rd to Saturday July 30th. The festival will be held on the historic vessel’s wide deck. It is intended to highlight both the ship itself, as well as local artists, small businesses and cultural establishments in an opportunity to present their visual, musical and performing talents. Boasting over 25 concerts, workshops and performances, the schedule is jam-packed to include health and wellness demonstrations, yoga and gardening as well as Japanese and Chinese tea ceremonies. Admission varies by event. Average cost ranges from $5 to $25.
The event is a fundraiser for the Philadelphia Ship Preservation Guild, the charitable non-profit that owns, maintains and sails Gazela. Over 110 years old, Gazela is believed to be the oldest, wooden square-rigger still actively sailing in the United States. Originally built in Portugal and used as a dory carrier while fishing for cod off the Grand Banks, Gazela was retired in 1969 as the cod stocks began to dwindle. She was then purchased by Philadelphia philanthropist William Wikoff Smith, who not only donated the ship to Philadelphia, but also joined the crew that sailed her to Philadelphia from Lisbon in 1971.

The show was created in NYC where it ran monthly from 2008 - 2010 until the closing of the Slipper Room venue, and features hostesses Dame Darcy on banjo performing murder ballads and sea shanties and Jessica Delfino on guitar and ukulele performing her demented and lovable ditties, as well as additional guest pirates, seamen, ships' captains, mermaids, ghosts and more performing music, burlesque, performance art, comedy, , all with a nautical and comedic slant. Some past guests have included Ben Lerman, Carla Rhodes, Die Roten Punkt, Pamelia Kirsten, Julie Atlas Muz and many more. Don't recognize these names? Google them -- they are notable characters, celebrated for their odd and unusual entertainment in NYC and beyond! SO COME OUT TO PHILLY 7/27 and 7/28 TO WITNESS ITS RETURN!
Love
Dame Darcy

Wish I could escape & join ya one of these times. You are such an amazing artist. I've followed ya since I discovered Meat Cake # 11, at one of my favorite shops. ( The Black Chandalier) in a small Mall in Sugarhouse.
The book and my doll, I bought that day are some of my most precious things.
Much Love from S.L.C.-Em
