Here's the lowdown on smoking @ Hulla
 

First off, as it's well known, as of June 1st there's NO SMOKING at any indoor bar/restaurant type facility in Toronto. That includes the Opera House so there will be no smoking indoors this weekend.

As a test at this Hulla, we will be allowing people to go outside to smoke in the patio area beside the Opera House Kitchen at the outside corner of the building. You might remember lining up around it. Your basic concrete patio with no furniture.

This is where it gets kind of complicated so please bear with me.

Access to the patio is through the front doors, but not the door you normally come through but the second set of doors in the front which is normally locked where you wait to come in. One would be the entrance the other would be to the smoking area. People coming back from the smoking area through those doors won't need to be searched again since they haven't left the premises technically.

There are a couple of issues though -

Access to the smoking area won't begin until AFTER the crowds have stopped or lessened lining up outside. I would say around midnight. Once the lineup has died down security will move the barricades to barricade a walkway from that second door to the patio to keep it secure.

Only a limited amound of people can fit out there at any one time. Security may ask you to go back inside if you're just hanging out. Please consider others and keep your visits short. It's in no way to be confused with a "chill room" and no one can sit on the ground there.

There are residential neighbors on that street, so we can't have people going crazy blowing their whistles or generally attracting attention. Please keep it reasonable while you're out there.

The success of offering this smoking area at future Hullas falls directly on the success of the test this weekend and the cooperation of those involved. I have no problems offering it, just don't screw it up and please share this info with those that don't read our board. Thanks.

Thank You Frolic!

Thank you. I hope people dont mess this up. its def. an oppurtunity that you wont see else where

wow, hope this goes okay. doing this was a nightmare at Rev It Up, and it was a relatively small party o.o;;

Awsome.

woohoo! maybe i won't get cigarette burns at a hulla for once ;)

.... that is soooooooooooooooo relieving.. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank god ..

Didn't you say you were quitting? :lol:

Oh, one other thing. You mentioned only a certain amount of people would be allowed out to the patio area at a time due to the lack of space and that you wouldn't want to attract attention by noise and people blowing whistles and such.

A suggestion: People would be restricted to leaving their whistles indoors before being allowed to the patio. I know you'd love to trust the kids to behaving themselves, but they are after all just kids so chances would go against them behaving themselves. Just a thought.

This is good news for the smokers. (yay!) I'd like to see how long I can go without smoking so hopefully I won't have to be out there too many times.

Sweet.

Can the friendship crew have ins and outs?

good stuff.

ok guys.. lets not screw this up :)
seriously..

id like to see how long i can go too without one..
i only had 2 all day up until 7pm..

this sounds more than resonable ,one can only hope that people can respect an act of good faith on frolics part.

I usually end up start smoking again cuz of Hulla. Making it a pain in the ass to smoke should help me not start again. Thanks Frolic!
