Default Help with a lockout

Hi, Looking for advice. I have a 94 Camaro convertible, AND I've locked myself out. AND I just learned I have only one key (one of my boys lost the spare and didn't tell me). AND, having never locked myself out of the car before, I got out my door opening tools, got my rod inside and pressed the lock buttons on both doors-and nothing happened. The doors didn't unlock (I pressed the passenger's side button on the unlock side too hard & the button assembly fell into the armrest. I got my rod hook on the inside handles of both doors and pulled them all the way out and the freakin' doors still didn't unlock.

My question for all you Gen 4 owners out there - Is there anything else I can do, before calling a locksmith? Some sort of trick specific to this model? Thanks. I feel silly having to ask but I know this has happened to at least some of you.

Fourth Gens are one of the easiest cars to open with a slim jim. You can hook the lock cylinder cam.

I can't really explain how to do it in writing, it's a kind of a "go by feel" thing.
