Hello New York City,
Hope everyone had a great holiday weekend!  We are still recovering here at the SHAW office and decided it would be fun to have a pajama work day to keep the relax to the max the day after Christmas.  I would like to start this newsletter off with a huge thanks to Alex English for coming out to Brooklyn to help us celebrate at the "Let 'em Blink" Xmas Eve extravaganza we threw at Crown Victoria.  We had the perfect crowd for the night with good music, lots of festive shenanigans, & (bar) dancing. It was great to see so many friends, thank you all for coming out; we are so glad we could provide all of the NYC transplants with a night of holiday cheer and a warm fire to shake it to.  We had our good friends over at Shooting Stars Pro run a fun photo booth and snap pictures throughout the night, check out the photos here !

One of the things I always look forward to before the year comes to an end is all of the "best of" count downs.  It really has been a great year for us, so we have put together a list of the "Top 11 events of 2011 for SHAW Promotion":

11. Relaunch of www.shawpromotion.com
10. Harley Davidson Blackline launch
9. SHAW company SxSW road trip
8. Big Up Festival
7. NYC Scooter Rally
6. Dorney Park Zombie Invasion / Guinness book of record
5. All Tomorrow's Parties Festival
4. Bootie NYC at Santos Party House
3. Uniqlo store launch
2. Brooklyn Night Bazaar

.. and the number one moment for me is...

1. Thanksgiving dessert party surprise marriage proposal!!

Yup, I recently did a guerrilla- style surprise marriage proposal to JaiDee Valentine (SHAW campaign manager) in front of all our friends and family.  In 2012, SHAW PROMOTION will officially be a family business! Remember, there is no business like the SHAW business!!!!
