The thrills of UV paint parties! (And what I learned)

Give me a P! Give me an A! Give me an I! Give me a N! Give me a T! What does that spell? Paint! Paint just EXCITES ME! Just ask my mother and endless photos in the album. So I could not contain my excitement when the opportunity to attend a UV paint party was presented by my rural town.

I went with my sister and a good friend of mine but since it was the first time any of us attended a paint party, I had no idea what is was all about. I knew we had to wear white and that was about it. 

Anyway, we ended having a blast! At first everyone including us, stood in front of the DJ bopping like awkward little ants conforming into the colony. This did not last for long because soon everyone was pulling out their best dance moves. There was music, dancing, lights, a smoke machine and PAINT! What more could I have asked for?

Here are a few things I learned from this paint party which I certainly will take to my next one.

1. TRY NOT TO BRING ANYTHING WITH YOU - I stupidly brought my big rectangular purple wallet and there was nowhere safe to put it. I ended up wrapping it in a plastic shopping bag which I had to carry with me the whole night. This meant I could not use my right arm at all. It seemed like a small issue at first but it really did get annoying. Also, use a zip lock bag or something similar if you really care about your phone.

2. IF YOU HAVE GLOW STICKS OR GLOW IN THE DARK ACCESSORIES, DO NOT FORGET TO USE THEM - I stuffed a bunch of glow sticks in my back pocket prior to the event and they did not come out once because I forgot about them. I mean sure my bum was glowing all night but they could have been so much more useful.

3. BE CAUTIOUS OF THOSE AROUND YOU - I dance very awkwardly and I felt for the girl's toes that took a beating from my clumsy feet.

That's it! We fully enjoyed our night. Sorry, I didn't include any photos. The phone camera malfunctioned.
