wow!

this party was definitely one for the record books. it has been a very long time since i have experienced such a fierce vibe.

vibes and livelee were unbelievable! perhaps the greatest happy hardcore performance that i have ever seen. livelee was like a ball of energy, bouncing all over the stage and whipping the crowd into a frenzy.

orange peel kicked EVERYONE'S ass! his hard pounding beats had the dancefloor going crazy. here's hoping he makes a return trip to toronto sometime soon.

in fact, ALL the sets were wicked. it's like all the dj's knew exactly how important this party was and they poured their hearts and souls into their sets.

and then there was frolic's set.

if this had, in fact, been the last hullabaloo, then i cannot imagine a better way for it to end ... with anabolic frolic playing one of the most memorable sets that i have ever witnessed. he ended off with all of the biggest anthems - the songs that make you sing at the top of your lungs and then dance possessed once the beats kick in.

then right before frolic's last track, e-by-gum handed over the microphone and frolic gave one of the most heartfelt speeches that i have ever seen. the place was dead silent as frolic spoke about the unfortunate events of the past 2 days and about how phil was so quick to jump in and help him out during his time of need. when he was finished, the crowd ERUPTED in gratitude. if the noise had been any louder, i think the roof would have caved in. frolic's last track was heart of gold - and out came frolic himself onto the dance floor. a huge circle formed as everyone joined arms and participated in a spontaneous group hug. it was not planned. i just kind of *happened*. and it was amazing. i looked over at phil and all he could do was smile in disbelief. it was a truly awe-inspiring moment.

it was like everyone there was feeling the same thing - a bond based on gratitude for what hullabaloo has meant to all of us.

massive props to phil from phryl and to michelle from funhouse in detroit. i have tremendous respect for you both and i am very honoured to have you as friends.

and a sincere thank you to all the true hullabaloo ravers - thank you for sticking by and supporting hullabaloo in it's darkest hour. you guys are the greatest party crowd in the world and you make me proud to be a part of this scene.

peace love unity respect,
