The Blue Monkey did indeed fly among Honorable Mentions at Digital Graffiti 2009 / Alys Beach last Saturday. And, hey, the Finalists and Winners were truly spectacular. Congratulations!
An aside: I realize now that Blue Monkey is actually turquoise, but Turquoise Monkey's Maiden Flight lands on the ear with a bit of a thud.
What's in a name, huh?

Digital Graffiti 2008 —Imagine you're at Alys Beach on the Gulf of Mexico with the waves slapping on the sand. Imagine it's your photography on that wall.
Whoa.
Digital Graffiti 2009 —
Think: multiple color-saturated beachside drive-ins on foot + VJ Shantell Martin + drinks + architecture

8:30-midnight
Alys Beach, Florida
Look for my short, very short animation 'Blue Monkey's Maiden Flight' in the courtyard.
Hey, it's fun & frolic! Be there.
