Yes our church had a lock-in for the youth. Unfortunately I was unable to attend the beginning couple of hours due to soccer but then I again I had the whole night still to hang out and have fun. The theme of the event was 80's rock, and boy when I showed up, the youth's outfits were screaming 80's. I wasn't fully prepared with an outfit so luckily one of my fellow leaders provided quite the pair of pants. Tight purplish sequined pants to be exact. Wow, these things were soo short and soo tight. I couldn't zip up the zipper in the back and ended up having my bum showing the whole night. I struggled to put them on and then we were off to the Park Theatre for a sweet concert.
Life Lesson: Never go out in public with sequined pants.
However, I happened to do such a thing. It was funny but embarrassing of course. It didn't matter. I danced the night away and it was much easier to do so dressed up ridiculously. We went back to the church and prep'd [prepared] for air band perfomances. They were quite hilarious; as one group of girls who sang Cyndi Lauper's 'girls just wanna have fun' ended up hitting eachother immensely during the last bits of the song. Afterwards, Rock Band was hooked up to the large projection screen in the theatre (sick jamming room for such a game). This is where we found out that my brother Willie can belt out any lyrics with very clear tone and at unbelievable pitches. He sang 'run to the hills' by Iron Maiden and literally sounded like he was actually a part of the band. Props to my bro. I think I'll start a band with him.
At 4am we went on a sev run (7 11 slurpeeees)! I actually managed to get a klondike cookie sandwich... I found out I get weird food related urges in the middle of the night (including lemonade). To wind down the night we played shuffle your buns and watched the classic Jack Black movie School of Rock.
Lock-ins are fun until you feel the unbearable tiredness in the morning. Fortunately I could go home and sleep for 6 hours! Aaah I love not working on weekends.
