pic: Mentor Prank gone BAD!

[Jon K.]

Once the students finished TP'ing the entire room, they forgot to unlock the deadbolt and went through the connected door that was already lock. When Quinn and I went back to our room, we could not open the entrance door because it was deadbolt and could not go through the connected door because it was lock. We spent about 25 minutes trying to get in our room, then another 20 minutes for the hotel engineer to open the entrance door. Overall, it was poor planning on behalf of the students.

In 2003 when the Championships were in Houston, I decided I was going to play a prank on my roommate and do something similar, where I locked the deadbolt and hid his supersoakers, which he had just bought at Toys R' Us that day. Well, I went into the mentor's connected room and shut my adjoining door, and the rest can be summarized by the mentors needing to take apart the door mechanism and some other things occurring. Overall it was an interesting experience.
