Managing a Club...

How to run a club like "The Colosseum of Rock". How to make it a place for everybody to feel like home. Well.. only in an ancient way you can. Caesar showed us how. We just followed his guidings. ´Devide and Conquer´, that´s the key to succes. All you need to do is look for people you can really trust, people you can really count on, people who have a heart for the club. And we, the owners of "The Colosseum" are trully happy with the ones we found. We found us some kickass managers! They all work there asses of to make "The Colosseum" the place it is right now. And not only that, see how the look on the picture below. Ain´t it just a hot group of lovely people?

If you stumble over one of them inworld, don´t hasitate to drop him or her an IM. An IM in which you say thanks. Thanks for the effort they put in managing the club, since, if you ask me, they really deserve it big time. We are proud to have them on the team!

These are the people you should look for if you are interested in working at this wonderful, steady growing place in Second Life. Look for the manager working during the time you would like to do your magic for "The Colosseum". But... of course they all are always open and always willing to answer any of your questions, not to mention the do have the capacity to have quite a good chat about most anything.

Managers, keep on the good stuff, keep this place the place it is as we speak. You all simply rock our worlds!


With regards,

Colosseum of Rock "ROCKSTAR" of the week!

Our Rockstar this week is the awesome and lovely COR manager (of hosts) Patricia Hax. You can almost always find Pat at COR. Which is a good thing because she has the best way of making people feel welcomed. Now if you ask Pat why she always comes to COR is “because they force me to come ;) to the C.O.R. that is”
But actuality one of the best times she has is when she is working on Saturday with Luna and Click. The three talk in private voice and when poor Click has to talk in open chat announcing songs, Luna and Pat start moaning and making all kinds of sounds. This of course messes him up and they cry in laughter, as I am sure everyone is wondering what is up with this DJ. Poor Click. LOL The time they spend together talking (in-between moans) means a lot to her as well. So on Saturday you all need to feel sorry for Click when Luna and Pat are working with him.
Remember if anyone else is up for a good time like this, the COR is looking for hosts and hostesses so let Pat know if your interested. Being a part of COR is like being a part of a big family. Pat stated that when she first came to COR they opened up their arms to her and she closed hers around them. Pat always has her arms open to everyone and a listening ear. SO if you ever need a shoulder to lean on she’s your girl...

So what makes this wonderful woman so great? Well when I asked her to describe herself in 3 words she stated creative, helpful and loving. Many of you may not know that she is a great builder. If you ever come to the COR and it is all decorated up – Pat did it. And if you ever see some afk who comes back to a box covering them – Pat did it! She uses her charm and wit to make it fun for us all. Her philosophy in life is “A smile u send out into the world will always come back to you.”. If that is the case I am sure that she gets tons of them each minute.
Now keep in mind behind all the fun and smiles Pat is very sensitive. So when I asked what one song described her, she responded; “There is not one song to describe me...There are many for a complicated girl like me.” Having said that the one song she does remember is "Baby Sittin Boogie” One day her mum and dad were playing the song, when 3-yr old Patty came up out of her bed and started dancing in the living room. When the song ended she simply crawled back into bed and went right back to sleep. It sounds like Patty has always enjoyed dancing and still does today. As a side note Pat dares you to try to figure out how old she is based on that song. One hint… the song was old back then J My guess is 30… what is yours!
I just want to say on behalf of the hostessing staff at COR we adore you Pat and thanks for all that you do!

Freaked out.....

Omigod, we´ve been freaked out. Last tuesday we had Rykk Ferraris rockin´ "The colosseum" with a mix of tunes he is known for. His so called Freakshow took over C.O.R. Did it hurt? Not at all! It was a magical night down at the grounds of "The Colosseum of Rock". Everyone around seemed to have a great time, everyone around got freaked out in a way they all appreciated a lot. Thanks Rykk, for putting up quite the show! Thanks for showing being a freak can be rewarding. Thanks for showing that freakiness has goodness in it too....

We are looking forward to get freaked out in the future even more. Yes.... it´s that addictive...

Colosseum of Rock ”ROCKSTAR” of the Week!

Well on Tuesday June 23 Vanguard Alter will be having his real life B-day. So in celebration we are featuring him as our first C.O.R. Rockstar of the week. Now this is so appropriate because when asked what song best describes you he states “Rockstar By Nickleback and that silly Avatar song”. Both describe his feelings on my life as it is and as it could be in SL. “I wanna be a Rock star = I wanna be an Avatar” So congratulations Vanguard our Rockstar :)

Born in February 2008 into the world of SL, “Van” comes with many years experience in online gaming. One of the neat things is finding friends from other games and meeting them in SL as well. His philosophy in Second Life is Fun Fun Fun. He hates drama as every one should and sees SL as an escape from RL for a couple of hours a day.

In getting to know “Van” he is very even tempered and grounded. Something you don’t find in SL very often. He is loyal and dedicated to himself and his friends. He and his Bro DJ Insane are opening a club called The High Voltage Rock Café. And yet he says “don’t worry Zaza, Maxx And Oz I ain’t leavin’ the COR!!!!” Once you come to the C.O.R. you are part of the family and don't want to go!

“Van” found the Coliseum of Rock a few months ago. He found it to be a fun club with great people. The owners Zaza, Maxx and Oz are some of the best people in SL. The club is far less laggy than other clubs. Shortly after Van started DJ’ing he started playing at the C.O.R. once a week (Thursdays 1-3 pm slt). He has great fun and has met a lot of nice people at the club. Now he plays at C.O.R. twice a week Wednesdays and Thursdays both from 1-3 pm slt.

One of Vanguard’s all time favorite rock track would be Sweet child of mine by Guns n roses. He says it has a brilliant Guitar solo at the beginning and near the end of the song. It reminds him of an old flame that he never got the chance to be with when he was a kid.

So come to the Colosseum on Wednesday and Thursday from 1-3 SLT and get to know DJ Vanguard Alter for yourself. He is one of the many awesome DJ’s bring the tunes to C.O.R. for us all. Hope to see you there!

Freak Show @ "The Colosseum of Rock"!

Ladies and gentlemen..................... We got 'm!
This tuesday, june 23th 3 - 5 pm slt, the one and only Freak Magnet Rykk Feraris is gonna fill "Our Colosseum" with his freaky viw on how music should rock. Is that a bad thing? Hell no! It's a freakin' good thing!



I know Rykk for let's say 2 years now, and have had the pleasure to listen to quite some Freak Shows he did. And.. I don't want to give him to much credit, they always are... amazing. You'll be musically smacked around the place for you never know what will hit you next. I don't even think Rykk knows what will be next!

I first got in contact with Rykk being a DJ at Sanctuary Rock. We both spread our tunes there and, as it seemed we both kinda liked the twist the other one gave to it. I remember requesting the most impossible tunes and Rykk....... playing them..... He is very hard to trick into not being able to spin what you request, as it seemed.

About a year ago, Rykk, together with his wifey Kaedy, decided to give the music what it deserved. A place where the tunes will set the mood. They opened up their own place "Freakheim Funeral Home". That at a time rock clubs popped up everywhere. Most of those places were not able to make it and had only a short life on SL, but not Freakheim. Freakheim is still out there, rockin' like no other place. I know, since I visit the place myself frequently! Never a dull moment at the grounds of FFH!

After a few weeks I was asked by Rykk himself to join the Freakheim staff. To spin my tunes to those freaks who live for music, just like us. I was honoured! Of course I said yes! And I still do my sets there every saturday. Surrounded by a crowd that grew into being friends.

Do we, at "The Colosseum of Rock" like a place like "Freakheim Funeral Home" to be in Second Life? What do you think. Why do you think we have a link to that clubs blog on our page? Our clubs don't bite eachother, they can live perfectly next to eachother. If needed, we help out eachother. And that, my friends might just as well be the true meaning of Second Life itselves. Unite, and make this world the best of a place to be.

Rykk, thank you for freaking us out with this awesome guest appearence. It's appreciated by me, my staff and most certainly all the CORians.... You ROCK!
