Venues are popular places to visit alone or with a group of friends. It is also a great place to socialize with others and meet new people to add to your list. There are many locations across the grid, each with their own style, themes, contests, staff and live entertainment.
DJ’s and
musicians provide the music and hosts greet visitors with a warm welcome. Most
venues have a group that guests can join. These groups are a great way to be
notified of other parties and special events they offer. Using Second Life’s
event guide can be very helpful when looking for something to do. They provide
residents a way to find a variety of activities happening at any given time.
On April 4, 2013 from 10 am to 1pm SLT, Club Cassiopeia
celebrated their grand opening and the turnout was amazing. The music genre was
mixed and upbeat, delivered hot and spicy by DJ Duh Ghost. The club’s name is interesting. According to Wikipedia, (2013) Cassiopeia is a constellation in the northern sky and named after a
queen in Greek mythology who
boasted about her unrivalled beauty. It certainly describes this club and
atmosphere.
VIPs and newcomers
filled the dance floor as they socialized and danced. Across the room, Club Cassiopeia’s owner
jbowe could be seen mixing and mingling with the crowd. I can tell they put a
lot of effort in providing entertainment for everyone as I stood by the bar
observing the activity. I was pleased to see such a successful event.
I met up with Club Cassiopeia’s team after the party for
an on the spot interview to learn more about the club, their secret for success
and what separated them from other venues in Second Life.
Our interview started in the club where I received a
random 200 lindens. Wondering what I did to deserve such a gesture of
generosity, I messaged jbowe to ask what that was all about. What he said was
kind, impressive and inspired me to feature his club to learn more about his
objective. He introduced me to Duh Ghost, the clubs manager and DJ for the
evening and they gave me a tour.
The club is huge! Not only do they offer a venue with all
the bells and whistles, but they also created a romantic location where lovers
can relax and enjoy each other’s company. There are also stores with a variety
of sexy club wear and other levels to explore in the Club Cassiopeia
Constellation.
A unique aspect of the club would have to be
the bob sled feature that allows guests to take a ride on the wild side to reach
other levels of the club. Both Duh Ghost
and jbowe graciously offer up their friend TONY to demonstrate how it worked as
he made his way to the levels below in the fast and furious spiraling slide.
I asked jbowe who designed the club and he said, “I came up with the ideas and my club
engineer Poolie schwanpuh is the brains behind them.” He added that Poolie was a brilliant scripter.
The next question I asked was what their objective was. jbowe
told me it was to have a place where people can come and enjoy themselves. He went on to say, “Even our staff here are on the honor roll system. If they get tips
they keep the money. All they have to do is make a donation to the club. The
amount is their decision.” jbowe
also shared a very true statement by saying, “sometimes when you are generous with people, they are more generous
back then if you charged.” I agreed
because I witnessed his generosity first hand when he tried to pay me for an ad
board malfunction. He handled the
situation so that guests were all rewarded.
jbowe stated,” When
we had the glitch in the contest board today we chose someone who was anonymous
to pick the three winners, then I went around and gave everyone 200L's as a consolation
prize to be fair. I will always do what is right, even if it costs me because I
do not want to be looked at like a lot of clubs in Second Life.”
Jbowe doesn’t work alone. Duh Ghost plays a big role in
the operations of the club. He
said, “Ghost is a very busy lady with her DJ jobs at other clubs, but she
decided to be my manager because of my integrity.” Club Cassiopeia also has
dancers that are paid above what they earn in tips and they are currently
hiring.
To sum up Club Cassiopeia, I asked them to describe Club Cassiopeia
in a few words and. Daff, a manger in
training chimed in with “Hot, Fun,
Friendly, Generous and Fantastic” Duh Ghost contributed a phrase and said, “Cool people + Good Music = Hellava Fun time!”
Jbowe said, “I think you could also put
the word unique in it because of our bob sled ride!” Everyone agreed.
I thought I was challenging them when I asked what set
their club apart from the others and without hesitation, jbowe said, “Easy, integrity.”
I am assuming that is the secret to their successful
turnout.
