Located on Topanga, Kiss Me Hard Club and Beach Lounge is a venue that is gaining popularity amongst beach goers looking for a place to chill and listen to Trance and House music. Owned and operated by Panjana Capristo and KatharinaKonrad, these two ladies put in work to create this beautiful venue. On Saturday July 11th, KMH opened for the first time with a live event packed weekend featuring talented singers Paul Nowles and Wolfie Moonshadow of Moonlight Music. With plenty to explore in the surrounding area from shopping, beach house rental for those “private parties” and a stunning beach to dig those toes in the sand and get your tan on, Kiss Me Hard is the place to put on your itinerary this Summer. The SL Enquirer met up with Panjana and Katharina to learn more about this new hot spot.
Interview with Panjana Capristo and KatharinaKonrad
SLE: Where are you from and how did you discover Second Life?
Panjana: I´m from south Germany, next to Munich. Well, I loved playing The Sims (you know big house, big love, big business haha) and a workmate told me about second life. And that's where it started in 2007. I quit playing after a time and made a new avatar, so this one isn't the original starting one. And now we are here, back again.
Katharina: I'm from north Germany, Lübeck. I first started playing SL around 2007. After three years my real life got too busy to continue playing SL. And now I am back again!
SLE: Nice! Do you know Our original news source began in The SIMS Online? It was called The TSO Enquirer. It’s exciting to see fellow gamers from that grid in SL! One of the greatest things about SL is the opportunity to meet people from all over the world in one community. Do you consider SL a game or an extension of real life?
Panjana: I think it's both. On the one hand, you can be whoever you wanted to be, have experiences that you might never dare to do in real life. On the other hand, there is always the person behind the screen. You always carry a bit of your "me" into the game. And of course it's real. You direct the avatar through your actions, your feelings. There are real people you meet, friendships develop, often in real life. Yes, for me it´s both because it just mixes up.
Katharina: Like Panjana I believe that it is both. At the one side it is a computer game on the other side there are real people behind the avatars. These people have feelings and a real life just like me. And of course you meet people with which you can have fun together and maybe you can start a friendship in real life too. So it is for me a little bit like reality.
SLE: Absolutely! What inspired the name of your venue and brought you two together to create Kiss Me Hard Club & Beach Lounge?
Panjana: Well, we know each other in real life. One day we talked about second life and how successful we were there. The thought didn't let me go and the next day I was there again. The Name, yes the name. I think I said it, but I wouldn't have thought of it without Katharina. So she can answer that better.
Katharina: Yes, the name of the venue..... I'm a fan of the swiss DJ , Dj Antoine. At the time we started in SL he recently released his new single Kiss me hard, and so the name of our venue was born.
SLE: There are two areas, the club and the beach lounge, Since this is a new venue, can you tell our readers a little bit about each and what your plans are?
Panjana: First we planned only the club. By searching the events we saw that there are a great number of live music events, so we decided to get a small stage as well. Our plan. To be successful with our new venue *smiles* and having a lot of fun and good music.
Katharina: I want to add that in the end we do not only want to make music. But we also want to experiment with different things. Like standup comedians for example. I'm still in the process of trying to convince Panjana that we should host a karaoke show as well.
Panjana: never said anything against Katharina ;) But don´t forget mud catching *laughs*
SLE: Karaoke is fun to watch. That’s a great idea. Besides open mic, What kind of music and events will you be hosting at KMH?
Panjana: Various events, live music of all genres. Every musician is welcome. At the club the main theme is trance/house
Katharina: At the club we also play club sounds and we want to make themed parties. Like 80's Parties, Halloween Parties, Black and white Parties,etc.
SLE: What types of live events will you be hosting and how often?
Panjana: Various:) We try to offer a wide range of live musicians. The plan is doing events from Wednesday till Sunday. Let's see.
SLE: Are you hiring? If so, what positions are available?
Panjana: Yes, still looking for all. Hosts, Dancers, DJ´s, Live Musician, Live Artist
SLE: Do you have shops & beach houses currently for rent?
Panjana: Funny you ask. We really have. We have a few shops beside the club waiting for rentals.
Katharina: In addition we have skyboxes as well to rent. Our shops have a special offer, 1 week for free.
SLE:Sounds like you have your plans all laid out and ready to go! Is there anything else you would like to share with our readers about Kiss Me Hard Club & Beach Lounge?
Panjana: I hope we get the chance to offer a great venue to all of you with good music by a nice beach flair. But we need your help to survive.
Katharina: Like Panjana said, I hope that we have a great time together with our guests and artists. For sure it's not easy to keep the venue alive, therefore we need your help. So let's pop up the champagne and let's party together.
