Last Friday in honor of my use/abuse of the much loved Irish adjective ‘feckin’ and my actual birthday- Timbuk2′ers threw me a ‘Happy Feckin Birthday’ party.
Thanks to the marketing team who also enlisted help from our dealer service reps for screen printing into the evening to get everyone T-shirts and to Tim R for the yummy carrot cake and giant scones 
It truly was a Breithla Shona.
Speaking to Timbuk2sters, one bag at a time.

This Roamin’ Reporter stumbled upon the Happy Mr. Humphries, “the Gentleman Puppy” while the pup was on an afternoon stroll with his best pal, Alexis. Opting against a cable car or a MUNI train, Mr. Humphries tells us that he prefers his cozy Timbuk2 Muttmover Backpack as his means of locomotion. This playful pooch prefers the perfect portage for walkies, which doesn’t require any walking at all; how savvy.
Well done, Mr. Humphries. You’re looking sharp in your Timbuk2.
Happy trails and waggy tails, Sir.
Now who’s a good boy?
Mr. Humphries hauled up the hill called Nob.
Our girl Harriet recently trekked to Machu Picchu. If this tote could talk . . .

We spotted Mike at SFO with his loved-for-years Timbuk2 messenger, young daughter, beautiful pregnant wife, a doll in his cargo pocket, and tattoos climbing out of his socks. Needless to say, we’re sending him a Stork. Cheers to doing things your own way.
Mike, the raddest dad at SFO.

We love it when this happens. Yesterday our fans not only wooed and wowed us with clever stories of how they’d rock a custom Timbuk2 bag, but they also demonstrated generosity, patience, and kindness.
Amidst the big IPO news of February 1, we ran a Facebook competition that asked folks to share how they’d rock a Timbuk2 bag. The story with the most likes at 5 pm PST would win a new custom Swig backpack. 165 stories were shared.
And at 5 pm PST, we identified the story with the most likes; @Meghan Jenk was the winner!
But then our community alerted us to a potential injustice (gasp!). We may have overlooked two stories that had more likes than @Megan’s story. We dug in and discovered that @Matt DeBlass‘ story had driven 31 likes before @Meghan’s.
And @Elise Gage‘s very clever poem had driven even more likes.
And then we got this email from Meghan:
Such honesty! We’d clearly goofed.
In the end we gave Meghan, Matt and Elise free custom bags. Now all is right and we are feeling very lucky to have you, our competitive but fair, clever but practical, bag-schlepping, bike-riding fans.

Here’s the jovial Jen with her 10 year old Custom Timbuk2 Messenger Bag. Mission district tutor by day, intrepid traveler by night, Jen loves her versatile commuter-and-bike-friendly bag. She’s been known to bring it to far-off Italy and a mysterious land called Ok-la-homa. Well done, Jenn: this reporter thinks you’re Timbuktastic. Happy trails, ma’am.
Jen jests, “Just jazzed at this jolly Jaunary jaunt.” Kudos, you.
