I owe the biggest definitive and positive change in my life directly to the Frolics and, through them, to Hullabaloo... everything I've discovered and enjoyed since then - the incredible people, the amazing music, the memories (and the forget's )... everything was made possible, at the start, through Hullabaloo.



Your first Hullabaloo;
The first time someone gave you a whistle;
That feeling when you first walked into the door and the sound washed over you;
The first time someone said "Happy Hullabaloo" and gave you a hug;
When the headliner played an unreleased remix of your favourite track;
When Frisky closed the night with "Children of the Night";
When they cut the music and you could hear 800 ravers singing along to "Shooting Star";
Standing in the lineup with kids from 13 states and three countries all standing next to you;
The first time you got absolutely smashed at a Hullabaloo;
When you talked in the washroom for three hours;
Those f'ng stairs;
When Michael Jatas came to Hulla to flier;
When you drank for 2 hours with that guy at the bar, and only stopped when he said "hang on, I have to go spin now";
When you got home from a Hulla and had 56 pieces of paper and everyone had an email or PR name on it;
Standing outside at 6 AM on a Sunday morning shouting "Let’s go to Cherry Beach!" and everyone actually does;
The first time you got a CD, and one for your friend, too;
Partying right through the SARS scare;
Partying right through the blackout;
Bumping into someone and having them apologize;
Dancing;
Singing;
Loving;
Raving.


Happy Hullabaloo.

What has set Hulla apart from other companies that have come and gone, is the community that has been built over the years. Hulla is more than just DJs spinning music. Anyone with some money and time could book the exact same DJ's that Hulla brings in. But without the community backing everything up, the whole experience that is Hullabaloo is completely different. Hullabaloo goes beyond what has happened in the confines of its many parties. So many people have forged lifelong friendships, whole groups of friends and had their life courses change. Without the online community, no matter which DJ's were brought in or which tracks would be played, Hullabaloo would have died along time ago Pretty much a collapse would have happened before the online only promotion of Hulla-FTWK. Tha is what makes that party so legendary to so many people, not a single flyer printed. If that party had fizzled, Hulla would have been over. But it didn't, and that was largely because of the message board. It completely reignited Hulla. Then move onto later Hullas, where a large number of people have come in from out of country. Without this influx of people from out of town, Hulla would be dead. Without the board, keeping the community tied together would be impossible and Hulla would have fizzled.

Thanks for building such a wonderful community that I and many others have benefited from for so long.
