San Francisco area burlesque for the week of July 6, 2009

Wowzas! I thought that there might be a slow week after the big Fourth of July weekend, but burlesque doesn't rest! There's a lot of unique stuff happening this week. Barbary Coast Burlesque has its one year anniversary show. Red Hots Burlesque will be at a tiki bar in Alameda. Dr. Sketchy's founder Molly Crabapple will be signing copies of her new graphic novel in Berkeley (and will be a special guest at Dr. Sketchy's SF on Monday, July 13!). There are some free events, too. Always good during recessionary times!
