I was doing my thing the other day…hopping around various regions, just generally chillin and looking for fun places to go. SL Enquirer provides their writers with a Fun Detector (FD), kinda like a dosimeter, it starts to click, louder and louder, the closer it gets to “fun”. So I was cruzing around at about 900 meters, when all of a sudden, my FD started lighting up like a Christmas Tree in Rockefeller Center. I had found it, if my instrument was to be trusted. I have found the Holy Grail of Fun.

I floated down to the dance floor below, not entirely sure what I would find, and I came upon Roxy the Red, and her partner in crime, J I N X Y. They graciously agreed to pause in their labors and consented to an interview.

Josh (Thomas1 Bellic) (JB): So Tell me. Where did the idea of Outlander Music Group come from? come from?

Rory the Red (roryredrory) (RR): We wanted to build a club where everyone was welcome and to pick a name that captured the fun and magic of having a club that our friends could enjoy and come to. We named the club "Outlander Music Group" - OMG for short. OMG is one of Jinx and my favorite words. If you would search any exchange between us - you'll find "OMG" at least several times!

The word "Outlander" means a lot to me in many different ways. I am Scottish-American and I'm a big fan of the show Outlander. I love the historic imagery of Scotland and of the Stones and dancing. But I didn't want to base the club only on the show - but the theme of being an "Outlander". We are all Outlanders in this crazy world that is SecondLife, and making it our own.

JB: Who managed to put this thing together and what role did each person play?

RR: Jinxy and I put the club together. Jinxy did the build and design and I added a few decorations here and there. Jinxy always amazes me with her builds and creativity!! My girl got skillz!!! For me, the Outlander theme means Outsiders coming together in a place where no one is an outsider. So, the imagery includes a Scottish landscape, Runes, and Kansas / Wizard of Oz. I am from Kansas and who else is the ultimate outlander other than Dorothy from Kansas when she visits Oz! We're not in Kansas anymore....

Also, Outlander wouldn’t be able to run without the incredible work, spirit, and fun brought by Paula Williams and Tiffany Williams!! Paula and Tiffany are sisters and are our managers for the club!! They are here on Thursday nights and always keep us laughing and smiling during the sets!!

JX: Rory has excellent management and ability to get people together and extract their talents... So, she is a natural at doing all the organization. I spend my time now and then building for the club

JB: Excuse me, but…is that an Elephant there? Can we talk about the elephant in the room? What is THAT all about?

RR: That's Ellie our resident elephant! She prefers to be addressed as "Ellie" or "Ms. Ellie". She gets offended if she is ignored when people enter the room. Just go ahead and address her right away and everything will be fine :-)

JX: It is as you say, "let’s talk about the elephant in the room" Thats Rory’s sense of humor. She could carry on a conversation about anything. Let’s start with the elephant in the room, shall we?

JB: I understand you have regular shows on Tuesday and Thursdays? What type of music is played there?

RR: Our dj's are all amazing and play a mix of dance music including EDM, House, Progressive, Funkie House, and more!!! We leave it up to the dj's to choose the genre they play each week. Nothing sounds better than "DJ's Choice" :-)

I love the dj's that play here!!! Our line-up on Tuesday starts at 5pm, and includes DJ Sia, Dj Savvy, DJ Picky, DJ Lisa Rose, and DJ Nele!

Our line-up on Thursday starts at 4pm, and includes DJ DanaCat, DJ Jan X, DJ Lau, DJ Kelsey, DJ Nell, and DJ Lukas!

JX: We supply a pleasant fun atmosphere with some of SLs top DJs. Each DJ plays whatever they like. Rory and I do now and then add a DJ we like to the lineup. Most of them are Rory’s connections

JB: Sooooo…What kind of music will you feature and what kind of guest would enjoy OMG the most?

RR: Our goal is to provide a wide mix of music and dj's! You'll hear different music every week! Anyone who loves to hear and experience Live DJ's with others in a relaxed, friendly environment will enjoy their time here!!!

JB: Tell us about some of the different areas on the property?

RR: The property is a series of islands in a Scottish Lake surrounded by the Highlands! All SL-style :-) The areas include the OMG! Club, the OMG! Float-In Movie Theater, and the OMGHenge island, home to this year's "OMG! SpringFest" on March 26, 27, and 28th We recently added the "Float-in Movie Theater" which shows some of our favorite movies! All of the seating is around or in the pool! Sometimes Jinxy and I will have a "pop up" movie event and send a notice to our OMG! group! OMGHenge Island includes Stonehenge-like ruins on top of a green grassy island! All 3 islands are connected and can be accessed by walking!

JX: We seem to come up with new areas every few months. So currently we have the main club and just finishing "Spring Fest" we call it. At the end of March, we will be gathering together there Tues, Wed, and Thurs regularly. Then we also have the movie theater, with a swim pool and screen we show movies on

JB: Just who is this “Outlander Annie” that I have heard so much about?

RR: Annie is our resident mermaid! You can usually find her in the aquarium at the front of the OMG! Club, but she also likes to spend time in the lake! She is a veteran of SecondLife clubs, and has been with me at every club I have owned or managed. She can be a handful, and can at times be outspoken, at times be quiet. She is a very moody mermaid! We love her and glad she makes OMG! her home!

JX: she is a mystery to even me. I know she has a front row seat behind the stage, so she sees EVERTHING that goes on in the club 24/7. What happens after that “Stays in the Club”

JB: I understand you are hosting a “SpringFest”. Tell our readers about that, if you will?

RR: We are celebrating the beginning of Spring with a "SpringFest" March 26, 27, and 28th! We will have an outdoor festival on our "OMGHenge Island" with Spring grass and flowers, rides, and an awesome outdoor stage with your favorite DJ's!!!! We are usually open on Tuesdays and Thursdays, however, will be open Wednesday that week for a special SpringFest line-up including DJ Bloo, DJ Soa, and DJ Pandora!!! Happy Spring!!!

JX: SpringFest comes from the mind off Rory. She is always coming up with something FUN and SpringFest is all about that. You will have to come and see for yourself

JB: Do you have any plans for future development?

RR: We love celebrating the various seasons and holidays and plan to have some themed events in the future related to Summer, Halloween, Christmas and others! So please check back for future announcements from OMG! You can always check our schedule at www.outlandermusicgroup.com!

JX: We plan on adding more DJs and adding more days the club will be open. We have a surprise for SL dancers coming in the summer. Stay tuned to see.

JB: Is there anything else you would like to share with our readers?

JX: Your readers are our dancers. We listen to what you say and do our best to make OMG O M G!! Providing the best in music and in a fun atmosphere

RR: Support Live DJ's and Live Music on SL, whether it's at our club, another club, or through live events! Music brings us together and is the reason I joined SL - to hear the bands and dj's that are here!
