Let Me See You Bounce That Bounce That

The Skandalaris Center in Simon Hall helps people do things to help people.
In the past few weeks, they've just come up again and again in helping fund community-development-type initiatives, especially WashU grads trying to make things happen in St. Louis.
I briefly talked to II Luscri (most awesome name probably ever) about this event that they have about 5 times a year called IdeaBounce. It's where they pick out 10 or 15 people's ideas from the ones submitted on their website, give them a two-minute elevator pitch, then pick five winners and give them 100 dollars. The real point of the event is not the Benjamin, but the connections the people can make with the people that attend the event. Apparently some guy got a job overhauling an entire company's website because he pitched a cool intracompany idea sharing web thing at IdeaBounce. And of course, the Burning Kumquat was at IdeaBounce once upon a time. Ideas presented in snippy snappy talks, yummies, and all these people you can talk to? What more could you ask for?

It's on September 18, Thursday at 5:00p.m. in
Room 310, Bryan Cave Moot Courtroom, Anheuser Busch Hall (law skool)
This one's environmental-themed! In association with this year's Freshman Reading Program, which was organized by my super awesome ex-advisor Alicia Schnell.
Sorry about the excessive name-dropping, but you should definitely come.
