DJ Outlaw has recently been named the co owner of Legion of Rock so this week I interviewed him to get an even closer look at what is like to be a co-owner.This is his first time in SL being a club owner and he says that reaching this point is like reaching his ultimate goal. He started out just as a DJ in SL eight months ago. Moving from club to club, going from DJ, to Manager, to DJ manager, he then moved on and found Cleo and Legion of Rock. He worked as a DJ for Cleo for about two months before becoming a DJ Manager.
A month later she offered him the chance to be co-owner of Legion of Rock. Cleo said that she wanted a co-owner because she needed a partner she could trust to could help her run the club. Outlaw's pride and love for the club shines through and is obvious in everything he does.
He says the best part about being an owner of a club is that he feels his ideas and opinions are making a difference. Being a co-owner with Cleo, he says, is amazing because they both have a deep love of the club and the VIPs. They both see the staff and VIPs as family so they both have the same ideas about where the club is going.
Outlaw says the most challenging part about being an owner of a club is getting more staff. There are so many ways to put out there that you need DJs and Hosts. But the difficult part is getting people to come in and fill out an application- it just doesn't happen often enough. Finding new and inventive ways to find staff are low.
Overall being a co-owner of Legion of Rock is Outlaw's dream come true. Through all the challenges and joys he wouldn't have it any other way. As he said in the beginning of this interview with me- it's his dream come true. He loves working with Cleo and their family, but most of all partying with the VIPs. His favorite set he does during the week is Naked Thursdays where the party doesn't stop all day. He encourages everyone to check out the Facebook Page for the weekly events going on and to keep up to date about all the fun.
