On October 29th, Stockton held Lollanobooza, a Halloween dance party. Being held on a Thursday, which are notorious party days, it served as an alternative to partying in a safer, alcohol-free way. Students were encouraged to wear costumes, as there was a contest for the best costumes. The night was filled with games, dancing, prizes, and of course, free food.
One of the most popular games of the night was the bull riding. Though there was no actual bull, an electronic bull simulated a realistic experience of riding one. Some students managed to stay on for a few seconds, or even minutes, but most flew right off as soon as the ride started. Another popular feature was the photo booth. Students could take pictures with their friends, use fun props, and receive a two four-panel copies of their pictures. Fortunately, there was no limit to how many times students could use it, so those who came with a large group of friends could use it until everyone had their own picture to take home. A third feature that students enjoyed was the face/body painting and temporary tattoo station. Students who wanted to add a face to their costume could do so, or instead get small, festive Halloween-themed pictures, such as candy corn or ghosts, painted where they so choose. The temporary tattoos were colorful and metallic, and there were even Stockton tattoos.
All in all, Lollanobooza was a fun night that hopefully saved students from its alcohol filled counterpart(y).
