2006 Lock-In Remix!

In case you were one of the unfortunate few who missed last year's awesome lock-in experience, you can play the video above and kinda feel like you were almost there...

This year, our intrepid youth council members have accepted the challenge to find new and better games for us to play. Each of your youth council leaders will be leading at least a couple of new games, or perhaps some old favorites. Of course, Alien is a given, complete with night-vision camera work and instant replay action.

I've heard rumors of a Nintendo Wii game challenge up on the big screen with the projector, so any of you with Wiimotes might want to load up your Mii on your 'mote and bring it with you.

Look at the post below to vote for your favorite pizza toppings and come prepared with some creativity to spare. If you've got suggestions for games that you'd like to see, submit them as comments to this blog.

Rate your favorite pizza toppings

Hey everybody! We are going to repeat our grand pizza-making experiment that we did at last year's lock-in once more this year... I will make a bunch of dough and sauce ahead of time and bring them to the church kitchen. Then you will all pitch in to help shape crusts and top the pizzas with cheese and your favorite toppings.

If you own a pizza stone and don't mind sharing, please call Randy. We can cook more pizzas faster if we have several pizza stones to cook on!

I asked the youth council for topping ideas and got a wide variety of suggestions. I'd like to know what everybody likes so I can be sure to buy enough of the most popular and not buy anything that nobody will eat.

Please rate the following toppings (more stars is better). Only rate them if you are actually going to be at the lock-in!
