Rio Grande: How do the people behind the Rio Theatre keep their unpredictable happenings so hip? They just ask: 'What would JOAN JETT do?'
from: MetroActive.com
If you're JOAN JETT--which is, admittedly, statistically unlikely--you get what you want. When you're getting ready to kick off your tour at the Rio Theatre in Santa Cruz, and what you want is a little privacy in your green room, you will be delighted to learn that the folks at the Rio will simply build you a private bathroom. It's still there, upstairs in the green room, affectionately referred to as "The JOAN JETT Bathroom."
Owner Lawrence Bedford thinks it was worth every penny.
"Joan put us up there," he says, referring to the Rio's post-Jett status in the booking world. "Once you have JOAN JETT on your résumé ... it's an entryway into everything else that's been going on here."
Says publicist in chief Jesse Rose DeRooy, "We often ask ourselves, what would JOAN JETT do?"
Probably not as much as the Rio, but she still rocks.
