Ok wow. Chris, it seems like your parties just keep getting better and better. Even with the sub-maximum capacity turnout, there was a truly profound community vibe shining out of each and every sticky raver face.
Dougal...unbelievable. The only time I'd seen him spin previously was at ATM (the second best party I've ever attended) and he was every bit as mind blowing at this latest performance as he was back then.
Jumper, Gobstoppa, and Kwik, had superb nights. It's always a pleasure to see those boys in action.
Frolic, your set rawked in a characteristically Frolic fashion...I don't think it's possible for you to disapoint.
I didn't get the chance to stay for Frisky's set (I withstood the sucking powers of trance for as long as I could, then gave up and left) but D-Minus's set was off the hook! His was my favorite set of the night besides Dougal's; the beats matched, the vocals weren't cut out constantly and stupidly (as is wont to happen with drunk Donny, sorry), and the selection was fabulous as always.
Silver's set didn't really do it for me, but I'm an anthems kind of guy. I totally disagree with the set time Silver was given, having D-Minus or Frisky spin at that particular time slot would have really resulted in a party of even vaster uh...kicking ass.
The trance was shit...but it's trance so it's not like I was expecting anything.
Security was fucking great. All of them real friendly and understanding, but doing their jobs at the same time. The black dude on stage was the best, making sure the stage wasn't being over-run with e-tards, but being cool to those of us that weren't fucking about up there. In the past, certain Opera House security have been complete assholes, but their sunny demeanor last night almost makes up for all that.
And last, the success of this party owes largely to the ultra-wicked Hulla crowd. I ran into NO assholes, met tons of happy, smiling, oblivious people, and totally forgot about reality for a good 7 hours.
Congradulations Frolic, congradulations DJs, Opera House, and all party kids in attendance. Last night is what it's all about. Say what you want about the degeneration of the scene, but nights like last are without a doubt my favorite part of life.
P.L.U.R.(R)
PS. Normally I try to avoid writing positive posts around here, but a high-callibre Hulla party as this one just seems to bring out the twink in me. Happy Hulla.
