The Reviews!!!
 

well.. i guess i might as well start this, seeing as the other thread is mainly talk about the shut-down.

Well.. my night went a little something like this.......

Get to the venue just before 9pm... a little earlier than i expected.. the DVP was like the autobahn... i coulnd't believe it. We parked and got in line. No probs... Get inside and i realize that i have lost my film! What a bummer! Well... no pictures. I got over it.. Took a listen to tyco's set.. liked that quite a bit. Really enjoyed the new style.. Felt the same way about Subsonic.. awsome set, awsome tracks.

Now... we'll talk about the sound problems later...

Around the end of Pete's set I went upstairs to check out the bar.. Had a beer, mauled around up there and met a couple people.. (also... reviews on my minglings will be later!)

Frisky starts up... great set.. had lots of fun! - Just in his set i look to my bag, realize it's open, and then checked it out... i find that i was missing my VISA card... oh shit! i was in total panic for a good 15 mins.. checked everywhere.. didn't find it. so.. if you found a VISA card, just cut it up.. it's cancelled now.. no purchases thank god. Had lots of fun dancing away on the stage..

After frisky it was upstairs for beerfest... good times had... lots of beers downed. no more needs to be said there.

back downstairs for fade and kelly... not much of a comment on fade's set.. a couple classics i haven't heard in ages which was nice...

frolic was up next... great set... i am usually not too fond of his sets, as i always like to hear some old mixed in with the new, and he's usually just sticking to the new (to each their own!), but i was really happy with what i heard.. everyone was into it, and i had a great time singing along! awsome awsome awsome!

after that, donny steped up to a nightmare of problems.. everything that could go wrong went wrong.. problems with the monitors, mixer, turntables AND cd players! it was literally a nightmare.. (more about this in a min!)

after donny's set, i decided enough was enough... i was tired, feeling nasty, and just wanted to crawl into bed. so... we left! saw a good 15 of metro's finest outside, and thought that was a little wierd... no flyer barrage outside which was quite nice... got back to the car (which warmed up in a snap) and chugged away home..

all in all.. great time..
now.... the sound problems! ahhhhhhhhh

Why oh why won't anyone listen to me when i say go rane? They don't break down! Pioneer = death - geesh... output problems, headphone problems... just nightmares all around.

I feel horrible for poor dminus... his monitors hardly played throughout his set... the one turntable wasn't grounded properly, so there was a nasty buzz in it, another turntable was feeding back pretty bad, and the mixer didn't have a booth output... it was a complete nightmare.. the sound techs were as useless as a pair of boobs you can't touch.. i'm glad they knew what they were doing.. completely unorganized.

well.. i guess there's not a whole lot you can do about it now, except use a rane next time! :)


now.. for all the people i met!!........

karlos - didn't really get a chance to talk.. nice to meet you though
bebe - same
mced - same
kayla - same

keron - we hardly said boo the each other. that's ok.. we can "hang out" more often in whitby.

mr t - hope you enjoyed the laughter at me and martin's expense.

martin - you're getting a hearing aid for xmas - i thought it was all a game..

marla - oh.. were do i begin - you missy are one girl i need more of. i will get revenge for the water... you wait. you will get it along with spanks and white wine if you're a good girl. oh.. and i got a call from some little boys looking for your number... mind if i give it to them? (and yes.. one was donny) - you need to scan that!!!

stephanie (starlite) - haven't seen ya in quite a while... thanks for saying hi, sorry i was trying to get outta there! ICQ me and we'll chat more..

moondancer - fun times on the stage. we shall meet again! (and you owe me 2 belmonts!)

soju - you're still a riot to party with.. hope to see ya again soon!

donny - have a beer and settle down stallion... i've never seen you so frustrated before.. although it was for good reason, you need to take it easy! sorry i couldn't be more help... my voice was gone, and i could hardly hear you.. the guy at the main board wouldn't listen to me and it was just a nightmare trying to get anything from them.

anyone i missed - geesh.. i'm sorry.. i met a lot of people last night, all of which were awsome with the exception of one who i just wanted to disappear

YOU OWE ME A DRINK!


and yes.. the water war will continue... I'll make sure to wear a white tank top with no bra this time ;)


p.s. I'll look for the sign

pffft.
i owe you nothing
you had your chance.
btw... did you snag that one on the yellow cardboard?

nope... sorry :p


but...

ok.. I guess I will take this chance to post what I remember of last night..

- showing up at 6:00 pm after sleeping for 2 hours the night before
- playing "spot the drug dealers" at the front door
- meeting steve/michael? haha
- drinking
- kicking a cup of booze all over aron... then all over donny... oops... I swear it was an accident
- meeting a shit load of you... I'd go through the list.. but I'd forget names and feel bad
- looking up janine's skirt
- FRISKY = SEX
- stamping people's foreheads
- rolled up in a ball in the corner backstage for an hour
- undoing donny's fly while he was spinning.. hahaha
- water fights
- spilling too much alcohol



I think that's about it

SO.

well i had fun! hahah... to say the least.

id say that was... probably the funnest (yes, i said funnest) hulla this year. once again, met so many people, and struggled to remember many others.

umm... i want to say HI to everyone, EVERYONE, we all contributed to an awesome vibe. no face, without a smile. i dont think i'll make a list here... you all know who you are. :)

missed tyco, unfortunately. missed most of subsonic, who i was really looking forward to, but... at least i got to hear infected mushroom, spaniard at the end of his set. i love that track.

happy hardcore = yay as always. although i was hoping to hear a few more anthems, and... several of the anthems i heard more than once...

i think my favourite (well, one of my favourite) parts of the night was turn up the music... god i love it when EVERYONE sings. thats called magic.


too bad the party had to end the way it did.

thanks jkarlos for letting us chill at your place after the party.

pics. LOTS of pics to follow.

(ps. thanks SO much sheena :) )

^^^^ I never met you!

just chose one thread to post reviews in

yah, i was looking forward to meeting you myrana!

NEXT TIME.

I think I'm going to throw up

i'm... so confused

I had fun.
Met a few hullaboarders I hadn't met yet.
Myrana...i hope you remember...we were both pretty trashed when we spoke lol
Lucious_Leah....nice to meet you...even tho i'm convinced I met you at thelast hulla :)
Tranzit....brief meeting...but nice to meet you nonetheless
Limey....nice to meet you CARL

One other hullaboarder I remember meeting turned out to be a total BITCH. A handshake or even "hello" would have been polite.

I remember meeting you

talking about palazzo


and the fact that you saw me at the lab


right?

Bwawawawhahahahahha...!!!! good stuff..it was nice to meet you too Marla...you are one crazy girl....

Tyco: same thing as Pete's set...quality Toons.

Frisky: nice nice nice, top stuff.

Fade: wicked of course, I expected nothing less...live EP was off, Kelly poor girl...yes she can actually sing and has an awesome voice.

Frolic: Nice toons, mix of old(er) and new

Donny: wow, your skills are awesome to watch...you pulled it off despite all the odds against you

Dr. Trance: quality tunes from the old man himself....;)

Elixir: what you did play was good stuff, then.......

well you kids know the rest of the story.

Awesome time I had....thanks a bunch for getting me to help out Kris (Ms Mittens) I owe you a drink.

Steve

I met people.
I danced like a fiend.
I drank some vodka.
It was all good.

i showed up at hulla at about 2:30 after the bars were closed, but there was no way in fucking hell i was paying 40 bucks to go listen to 4 hours of hhc.

Sorry to all the peope i promised i was attending, but 40 bucks is ridiculous.

If you read this frolic, you should have some drop in price at the door if the party is half over, even 30 bucks i would have went in.

Hope everyone had fun, sinse hte party got shut down imm not that disappointed i didnt get in

interesting, funny and amazing night......nuf said!

well my night started out kinda slow, showed up drunk, and then started feelin kinda shitty after a while, but eventually i got back to normal :)
ummm yeah after that i had tons of fun! i really like the Dj Fade and Kelly set, kinda sucks that it got shut down early, but oh well, what can ya do... it was still a good night! i had fun!

wow that was a cRaZy nite....i meet a buncha people but i didn't ask if they were on here so yeah SWEET i was wearin a pair of white puma pants wit a red strip down teh side and a white shirt and a red bandana wit lots of candy....eh so if u member me say what's up sucka! .......hehe oh snap a lil bit of the b-lo in da bathroom hehe but the vibe was crazy sweet it was deffinaltly one of the best hulla's i've been too.......i danced and danced and danced and yeah hehe it was good times, glad i met so many happy faces:D

Darren hugging a stuffed koala was the best set

^^^^^

i forgot my bear at your house

hullababear

keep him safe for me :)


...and thanks for having me

great night.. probably one of the better parties I've been to in a while. Met a ton of new people, and hooked up with old friends..
The music was great.. but I wish they had more trance, or something different. As much as I love happy hardcore, a change now and then would be nice. Caught the end of Subsonic's set.. nicely done.. Dr Trance really impressed me.. I could not stop dancing.

There was breakdancing circle at Hulla.. WTF??? hehe, it's an odd combination to say the least, breaking to HHC.. still it was done, and a lot of people joined in (me included). Was impressed by the number of really good dancers out there.

that koala was sent to darren from the heavens

i saw the whole thing happen, i swear it

*high five/tabby cat scratch*

*high five/tabby scratch* =))))

oh no he took the koala home with him :(



hey Krys that was your teddybear... i have it safe in my room..no worries =)
