After the death of both Camillo and Dirks in late 1993 and early 1994, Joseph formed a partnership with Ty Dakota. To complement the popular Sunday night gay tea dance, Pleasuredome, Dakota & Joseph founded Club Universe which became a renowned dance club and entertainment venue and hosted shows for international stars like Grace Jones, Cyndi Lauper, Chaka Kahn, The B-52's, Blondie, and disc jockeys from around the globe. Universe developed a reputation in the club scene for its ever-evolving, ever-changing themes each week. Club Townsend and its counterpart King Street Garage hosted clubs like Wicked, Futura, New Wave City, Club Asia, Club Q, Electric and live performances by Sammy Hagar, The Blues Travelers, The Wallflowers, Third Eye Blind, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Reverend Horton Heat, Bootsy Collins, George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic. In November 2000, attorneys for the family of the late Jeffrey Goring, a San Jose man who died in February 2000 after collapsing on the dance floor at Club Universe, said they were filing a wrongful death lawsuit, complaining club employees waited too long to call 911 after Goring fell. Club officials denied the charges. The case was subsequently settled out of court and Goring was found to have no drugs in his system and had collapsed from an asthma attack; all parties in the lawsuit were bound to confidentiality. Joseph produced the dance stage at the Folsom Street Fair for many years and the main stage production for the San Francisco Gay Pride celebration. Joseph was appointed to the Entertainment Commission by Mayor Willie L. Brown and took office 1 July 2003. She has served as the first Vice President 2003-2004 and the President of the Commission 2004-2005 and again as Vice President for 2005-2006. In 2007 she was elected as president again. Joseph started the San Francisco Entertainment Commission Academy, which holds interactive seminars to assist in the education and introduction of the night time entertainment economy.
