First Hulla?
get hype, april 2003

What does Hulla mean to you?
hulla was my first rave. i'd been on the outside looking in feebly for years. nothing much was going on in detroit anymore, so i couldnt figure out a way in. my life was very different, my outlook not the same after my first hulla, and continued to evolve as i went to hullas regularly until my last one feb 2004, Accelerator. Hulla means a time i get to unleash, dance my ass off, and not have to settle for hearing what makes my heart beat on computer speakers. its when i get to see the party kids i love most, and for that, for all the experiences ive had with various people from going to hullas, i will never forget. i will always think often fondly of hulla and everything associated with it with my life, good and bad.

What do you think Hulla means to the scene?
i feel it was a good ground for people to cut their teeth on when it comes to partying, if you are in to this kind of music. ive been at some dingy ass shady parties, and to know what a hulla party is like is paramount to trying to have a feel as to what the rave scene was like long ago. i got a late start on my rave career, but thats perfectly okay. i actually wouldnt have it any other way, now knowing what i know and have been through throughout what i call my "rave cycle", haha! without hulla, its hard to find anywhere else that can do what many parties used to do for people in terms of experience, in the golden days of raving.

Your ultimate Hulla set/memory:
my first hulla, frolic was spinning, and You're Shining came on. i was in the middle of the crowd, kinda near the stage, the second break down was upon us all, the lights blew up right with the music, the mc was demanding everyone to make some fucking noise, and put your hands in the air. everyone around me had their hands in the air, voices, whistles, air horns going off. everyone's energy created perfect momentarilly synergy with everyone, including me, and for a second, i felt up above everything, almost crying with pure unadulterated bliss. it was the perfect moment, the perfect experience. ive never been the same since ^_^

Share a funny Hulla party anecdote:
haha, one time i started chatting with tyco, and he made a comment on a bulge... then he thought i was offended, and was apologizing up and down, and i was cracking up telling him it was all good.

Your own space to add anything you want (shout outs, thoughts etc..): i want to thank everyone ive met, from brief encounters to friendships, for everything. thank you frolic for being there, creating this wonderful community, and being an inspiration. i also want to thank the goodfellaz crew, for if it wasnt for them, i wouldnt of been able to go to my first hulla, or of had a place to sleep besides my car ^_^ love ya all! ^_^
