Hi Friends & Colleagues,
Happy Friday! Did you have a nice Labor Day Weekend? I was excited to get away from the computer for a few days and pick tons of blackberries at our new property. Dennis and I had a great time and now we have years' worth of blackberry jam for our efforts!

I'm really excited for today's issue of Hip Happenings! In addition to sharing the best times of day to post on your social media accounts and our own ALS Ice Bucket Challenge video, I'm thrilled to wish our Senior Director of Publicity a happy 30th birthday and announce a brand new client. Keep reading for all the details!
All the best,

Happy Birthday to Emily! Our very own Emily Sidley is excited to turn 30 years old on Monday. How does she plan to celebrate?
"A mystery package arrived the other day, but I've been instructed not to open it until my actual birthday. I admit I've very curious! Otherwise, I'm looking forward to a dance party with a few close friends and puff-painting a new T-shirt. I still haven't decided what I'll put on it, but I love making my own shirts and it's been a while!"
Happy birthday, Emily!
