Issue #12 (out now) pays intense homage to Chicago’s grassroots scene, so accordingly we have set up Bounce Magazine distribution boxes there. Just open the front and take as many copies for your friends as you wish–THEY’RE FREE! Don’t trip if the box is empty; we’re refilling them each week!

On the real, I can’t tell you how good it makes me feel to know our readers can pick up our mag at any time. We’ve always been commited to giving back to our community, so the fact that they are free instead of for sale at a newstand means a lot to us. Big up to our Dime Magazine partnership for making our distribution dreams a reality in the O-7th.

I’ve been a supporter of the magazine since the first issue, and although I live far from NYC, I’m glad to see it’s getting the publicity and respect it deserves.
Allowing readers to grab a copy at any time is really cool and speaks volumes about where the magazine is going.

New York, New York check out the quality package in an Orange Box
for free!! Get it while it’s hot. In all seriousness, this mag started at kitchen table at Bobbito’s house. We gotta big up EBC Magazine as the first joint exclusively playground with J Washington, his sis Liz and Sundia our West Coast Editor creating “something from the street.” J left and hooked up with me and the rest is “from the playground.” God willing, we got bit things to report about in Chi-town so stay with us.
