Thank you to everyone who attended The Vigilant Monkey’s launch party in Greenhouse in NYC. It was a grand success, and we want to thank the more than 150 people who were in attendance!!

Sponsors included Heineken, Sagatiba Rum, Aqua Vi (tees for guys and girls in our gift bags), and Club H Fitness.

Great music was provided courtesy of DJ Yoshi, and photographs were taken by Gordon Ho (pictures are on the way). We also want to thank Peter Dali for editing together a dynamic video loop of VM content and pictures.

The silent auction included a gold Nina Ricci watch, Favala apparel, a designer Chak Chel handbag, Cimber Designs jewelry, Cerca Trova jewelry, and a lunch date with Mike Steinberg of The Bachelorette, Season 5. We raised over $600 for Child’s Play, a game industry charity dedicated to improving the lives of children with toys and games in their network of over 60 hospitals worldwide.

Also, our T-shirts, bumper stickers, and Moo cards were such a success, that they will soon be available online for sale.

Again, thank you. Stay tuned for pictures and VM updates for the holidays!!
