Welcome to our first installment of
“WHO GOT THA JOOSE NOW?!” , a new monthly
column dedicated to shining the spotlight on stellar individuals within the
Inland Empire music scene. Sometimes there are people who you might notice at
different shows but you don’t really know much about them or what exactly they
do. For example, any performing artist or excited supporter heading into the
Common Ground, on a Sunday night, will first be asked to show I.D by a friendly
security guard and then will be greeted by a petite young lady collecting the cover
charge for the night’s festivities. After completing the entrance process ,
most show-goers then get lost in a whirlwind of handshakes, hugs, $3 shots, and
crowd participation but don’t you ever wonder more about that two-person
welcome committee? Who are they? ….Well I still don’t know much about the
security guards *note to self – Ask the Security Guards their names* but I do
have the EXCLUSIVES on the stylish girl we slide our money to every blue moon.
She
is none other than Desiree Rene Thompkins but you can call her
Desi The
Designer ( DESITHE[DESI]GNER to be exact ) .
