First Hulla?
Into The Blue, Feb of 1998
What does Hulla mean to you?
-The most kickass music not found anywhere else, crazy insane ravers who still believed in PLUR, the best production in Toronto's history.
What do you think Hulla means to the scene?
-It was the brightest party, and perhaps the last party that remained true to our scene's values. When it became unfashionalbe to believe in PLUR at other parties, there was no soul. At the last Hulla, PLUR was still strong and in effect, and I heard someone say this: "I've been to a party before, but this is a
rave."
Your ultimate Hulla set/memory:
-I think it was either at "Rush Hour" or at "Ooh Crikey, wot a Scorcher"... but it was when a giant Tinky Winky attended Hulla! Then, while that bad ass Teletubby was working the crowd with the MC, mind blowing pyrotechnics came up from the stage. ARgh!!! Out of this fucking world!
Share a funny Hulla party anecdote:
-I was a little crazy at Into The Blue. I walked into the washroom and was amazed at all the colors my fellow ravers were wearing. Then, when someone tried to leave, I started pleading "No, no, no.. you CAN'T leave. You'll upset the color balance!"
Your own space to add anything you want (shout outs, thoughts etc..):
Ok, I had skipped the scene for about three years after going to nasty party after nasty party (in Van so I couldn't go to Hulla, lol). Then, after going to the last Hulla, I realized that there's still true ravers out there. I still want to experience something like this twice a year or so, and this last party has given me hope that perhaps it's not over, but it's just underground again.
Please my fellow ravers.. party responsibly, believe in PLUR, and don't give up
