Default Trunk Lid Won't Open

It was raining when I woke today, so I had to get in my trunk to get my T-Tops out of it. When I popped the trunk, it opened like normal, but when I went to open it, I acidentally closed it.

Now, when I hit the button, nothing happens. Hell, I couldn't even drive my car to work beause it was raining.

I shut my car off and turned it back on, but it still wouldn't pop. What am i going to do? I have this brick handy, so I can always smash the back glass if needed. Also, i have a pry bar and I'm sure with a little work I could get it opened. Either way is fine with me. Any suggestions?

Yepper, had to do that when my battery unexpectedly took a dump and my remote wouldn't unlock my doors - only time I ever had to use it.
