If you missed Bounce Night at The Republic a couple of days ago then I assume you missed some fun stuff because I wasn’t actually there and therefore am unqualified to write anything about it. That doesn’t mean that I won’t still do it, though.

But I believe that in order to qualify for recapping an event you must acquire 10 Experience Points. If you actually attend the event you get all 10 and then can write whatever you want. Since I wasn’t at The Republic that night, let’s see how many I have.

Purchased every No Limit album every week for an entire year in high school: 3 Points.
Even purchased the Full Blooded album: -1 Point.
Currently reading “Tricksta” by Nik Cohn which covers a lot of Nola’s rap history: 4 Experience Points.
Have actually released three rap albums (The Freshest Dude, 2007, My Wiener Touches the Ceiling, 2008, Half Man Half Beard, 2010): 3 Points.
Performed at the same festival as Big Freedia: 3 Points.

Before any Night of Bounce it’s vital to have enough space in your room to stretch. For some people this means having to push walls further apart.

Now that you have space, make your feet kiss your lower back like Christy is showing us above. Christy’s feet and lower back are currently in a relationship, so if you feel uncomfortable with this then don’t panic. Just have your feet side-hug your lower back.

You don’t want to carry a bunch of shit with you for Bounce Night because you’re going to be going crazy. You also don’t want to just grab any bag without the opinion of someone who’s instincts are often right on par with your own. Have a dog pick out a small bag to keep your essentials handy. If you don’t own a dog then adopt one for a night, forging a friends name on the paperwork.

Now you are Bouncing! Keep on doing what you’re doing. The only people watching are the ones who need inspiration and the only thing better than Bouncing in Inspiring and now you are doing both! No breaks allowed!

Important: At Bounce night, ignore all signs about “not putting your drink on stage.” Whoever put that sign there clearly doesn’t know anything about Bouncing and since YOU DO, you can do whatever you want. If you have a sandwich this can also go on stage. Note that sandwiches are great at crowd-surfing.

The night is finished and you’re feeling pretty wiped. The clothes are sweat-stuck to your skin and you don’t have the energy to pry it off and the temporary helper dog is making you a welcome home snack. The best way to remove your outfit is to bend and stretch until it slides off your Bounced up body.

So that’s what happened! You should also know the following information: The top is French Connection, leggings are American Apparel, shoes are Cole Haan, bag by Botkier and the necklace is vintage. The nice lady in the photo is Christy Lorio and she is Slow Southern Style.

If you would like for me to recap your event that I did not attend please let me know!
