When I was 15 years old in the year 2000, for Valentines Day, which was on Monday, the 14th of February 2000, I recorded our church party at our church, the Cornelius Community Baptist Church, with my new smaller VHS-C compatible camcorder that came from my father.
The party went from around 5 - 7 PM. I tried recording those 2 hours. It may have lasted longer, if you count waiting for the children to be picked up by their parents. The party was designed to allow parents to drop off their kids on their way to a romantic dinner or whatever that they want to do as parents or as a couple in need of rekindled intimacy.
Only a few children and teens attended. There was a total of around 20 people, including youth group leader Rich Libby who was married in our church, Stephanie and Brian Bishop, Christina Beaty, two twin brothers who like Pokemon, the neighborhood (from the Rose Grove where I was raised at) girls who are friends with my younger sister who was also there, a baby, and there may have been a few others.
We had a few snacks, games, a cartoon movie to watch, drinks, and there was me with my camcorder. In another room was the like temporary secretary or accountant Tom Bamford or I forget his exact last name, and I surprised and caught him on camera in the church office. I recorded Crystal, me, and the neighborhood girls in the church playground running around and some basketball. I recorded Stephanie drawing a picture of the baby. I recorded myself making slam dunks with a ball into the carpet and ground of our church. I recorded the twins talk about Pokemon. I made a balloon talk like my guinea pig Ra Ra Hercules Roberto.
