They came, they sat, they partied. thehappycorp threw a party last Friday (1/27), raising our glasses to all kinds of good things that we’re proud of, among them, this chair. After being awarded as a Creative All Star by OMMA last fall, Yahoo! added to the honor by presenting Doug Jaeger with a Big Idea Chair (pictured above with Jon Cronin of Yahoo!).

Friends and colleagues came to see just how magnificent and comfortable this giant piece of purple furniture was. Amid the crowd were guests from Step Inside Design, Acme Pictures, Butler Shine Stern & Partners, Hornet, IF, Anomaly, WingLatino (of Grey Global Group), and Yahoo!. We felt awesome and we think everyone made a some new friends and had a good time. Check out some photos if you don’t believe us (or if you’re just curious).

We made new friends at our party, which is always a pleasant surprise. But even more exciting is when they stay in touch and we see them again.
