Camp Sock Monkey Update and Apologies

Sock Monkey at Disneyland

This is just a lil ole Sock Monkey website. Unfortunately, my blogs and email accounts continue to be victimized by malicious hackers. These are no script kiddies. They're pros who have been identified and are known to Law Enforcement.

Computer access has been restricted to my iPhone or the limited hours of public internet cafes. Five computer systems, my Blackberry and an iPhone have been corrupted by malware and spyware. My computer networks have literally been destroyed by these hackers.

My email has been intercepted and hijacked for an unknown period of time. My passwords are changed without my permission or authority, which prohibits account access. When I do receive email it's often deleted as a precaution, especially during periods of suspicious blog traffic.

My deepest apologies to the vendors and companies who contacted me re sponsorship and product reviews. You have my word, that I will reply before the end of this week. Your requests and offers are greatly appreciated. Sadly, my attention has been directed towards pursuing criminal and legal remedies.

Feel free to leave a blog comment, if you would like to contact me. My comments are moderated and your private missive will never be published.

Thank you for your understanding.

Sock Monkey heard that a fellow monkey from justin.tv
was at Blog World, but they missed the chance to hang out together.

Sock Monkey attended Blog World Expo 2008
at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
We kept a low profile, but enjoyed the conference
and left with  lots of new info and swag!


The best part of the conference was the
Zappos Party at Prive in Planet Hollywood.
We saw the Evolution of Dance guy, Judson Laipply.
He can really dance!

Happy One Year Anniversary Johnny Cupcakes !

One year ago Johnny Cupcakes opened his Melrose Avenue store to a line of customers that circled two city blocks. There was a 6-hour wait to enter his store. I know so because I was there. But, it was worth every second.

Special Grand Opening Cupcake
with JC brand cupcake topper

Johnny Cupcakes was there in person and he greeted all his "guests" until the last one entered the store after 11 PM. He's a real class act. His parents and sister were on hand greeting the crowds, posing for photos and sharing childhood stories about their boy wonder. Today, JC will be back on Melrose in person to celebrate the one year anniversary of his store. Fans began lining up days ago for a chance to be one of the lucky few who will have the opportunity to snatch up JC's limited editon merchandise and birthday cupcakes!

You can view photos from last year's festivities HERE.

Hook'em while they're young!

Sock Monkey fans are a very small, albeit select group of people. The Sock Monkey has a well deserved place in American toy history. It's a story that should be preserved for its ingenuity, motherly love and historical context that has given rise to the enduring appeal of the Sock Monkey. There is even a permanent exhibit of the Sock Monkey at the Midway Village Museum in Rockford, Illinois. Us Sock Monkey fans must stick together!

Well, we have certainly found another member of our tribe at KitchenDoughDough. Talk about Sock Monkey love! As pictured above, Baby DoughDough's nursery is decked out in all things a la Sock Monkey. Imagine waking up to all that and a Mommy who bakes and designs adorable Sock Monkey cupcakes too!
