Holy Land is an infamous ASUCD Coffee House party incepted by the original Party King of the ASUCD Coffee House, Rob Ray... (note the name is Rob Ray not RobRoy another Party King Of Davis.
Holy Land is a themed, progressive party. Themed in that you must dress up. Progressive in the sense that it moves from house to house, and also that it is the future of partying.
-
Holyland I - Spring of 2002
The theme was Holyland... that is, you get dressed in biblical gear (robes, etc.) get drunk, and walk to seven different houses, each themed to a different sin... I may be mistaken but I think it took place in North Davis.

Holyland II - Summer of Love
Same idea, but with sixties gear.
-
Holyland III - Trick or Drink.
It was Holyland on Halloween, October 2003
This was not a numbered Holyland, as traditional Holylands happen in Spring. The Holyland party concept was transformed into the "moving Halloween party".
- This actually was a numbered Holyland... Holyland's can happen whenever you want them to, not just in the spring —JoshuaHeller

Holyland IV - Thrift Store Prom
Jenn Dietz took over the reigns as Coffee House party maestro in 2004, and threw a Holyland with a "buy suits and dresses from Woodland theme (ie. Salvation Army Woodland )" There were five houses, at the final house they were to decide upon a Holyland King and Queen... but nobody remembers anything about that. It was Fall quarter 2004 (?)
-
Holyland V - Return to the Promised Land
This was a reprisal of the original Holy Land. Led by Jenn Dietz and JoshuaHeller. Over 200 people showed up. Again each house was themed to a different sin (my house was gin and tonics dyed red,white, and blue to represent the sin of Pride.) There was lots of drunken debauchery... the slogan "When the booze is gone we move on" was codified.

Holyland VI - Circus Theme
Took place the first week of Spring quarter 2006. Everyone dress up as a circus character, from an Elephant shit mover to clowns. There was plenty of ![[WWW]](http://wikispot.org/wiki/eggheadbeta/img/sycamore-www.png){kind=small}
debauchery.

Holyland VII - Holy Land Goes Hollywood
This took place the second Friday of Spring quarter 2007.
An interesting side note, about Ancient Greek Comedy...
Groups of drunken revellers would wander around the city dressed in Phallic costumes, singing songs to Dionysus, followed by a flute player... the group was called a Comus, the songs they sang were called Comoedias.
From this Proto-Holyland, (so proto, it's before the actual holy land) we can learn one thing - Holyland equals Comedy.
