Last spring we had our first official launch party to introduce Animal Avengers to the world!! On April 12th, 2001 at one of Los Angeles's hot clubs, Vynyl, we had an array of people, dogs, drinks, entertainment (including performances by Ryan Gosling and Men Without Sex) and all the auction items your heart could desire! Some of the celebrities who showed up to support our venture were Ryan Gosling, Kevin Smith, Michelle Phillips, Jaime Bergman, Ali Larter, Natalie Raitano, Molly Culver, Donna D'Errico, Toy Connor, Patrick Muldoon, Jennifer Blanc, Jason Gedrick and Staci Keanan.
