I didnt have the chance to make it out for this event, and im really sad and mad that i didnt...I think i speak for many when i say this is truly the end of an era. This makes me really sad for many reasons. 1 being that one of my dreams over the next few years was to make it out to a hulla show. 2 being another one of my dreams to be on that stage along side all of the rest of the hulla crew. 3 being so many djs/mcs have retired after this event. I never had the chance to make it to a hulla event like i already mentioned but i still feel the sadness that everyone else feels. I just feel like i missed out on something, something that has changed the whole hardcore scene as we know it and for that i am grateful.
You know, the first ever happy hardcore cd i had bought was Happy 2b Hardcore chapter 4...there we other cds before that one that i had heard(Vinylgroover: Happy Hardcore Anthems 1 and United Dance vol. 5) and i always said that i wanted to dj ever since those ones but it was the Happy 2b Hardcore 4 mixed by Anabolic Frolic that realy motivated me to get into the scene. I heard Elysium for the first time, Everytime I Close My Eyes, Now Is The Time, Love of my Life, Give Me A Reason, Better Day all for the first time and honestly i wanted to at some point in my life bring all of those tracks plus more classics from the h2bh series together for all of the hulla ravers. When i heard that there was going to be the last ever hulla this year i was heartbroken, i seriously thought why go one with djing(i didnt choose to give up obviously). It brought tears to my eyes to know that one of my dreams wont happen, that something so great has come to end.
Everytime i come back to these forums now i get tears in my eyes just seeing the name "All Good Things"...You see, you guys and gals at hullabaloo didnt just touch the people that went to your parties, you touched everyone that has ever come to this site, that has ever met the djs that have played there...you all kept the norther american hardcore scene alive and kickin for the longest time. I appreciate what you all did here with hardcore, with the parties, with the people. I dont think im alone when i say you have touched us all in some way whether or not we have been to a hulla event.
its hard not to get tears in my eyes from just coming to this website.
a few quotes that i think are fitting...
"Don't stand and stare,
Kick ya legs in the air!"
"See me climb as high as i can go,
Lookin down on people far below,
You can live a secret fantasy,
Take a magic carpet ride with me"
Last but not least...the classic everyone knows and loves and goes ABSOLUTELY INSANE for!
"Open your eyes,
See all the love in me,
I got enough forever,
Don't be afraid,
Take all you need from me,
And we'll be strong together"
Massive respect to the Frolic family and anyone else associated with all of the hullas. The djs, the promoters, the distributers...everyone. Thank you for everything that you have given me, especially the determination to become a dj myself. Thanks...
