San Francisco area burlesque for the week of October 5, 2009

Looks like this week there will be a convergence! Yes, Red Hots Burlesque and Hubba Hubba Revue will combine to start off the week with RHB's School of Shimmy performing onstage at the Uptown Club in Oakland. You'll see some of the alumni of Dottie Lux's classes shaking and shimmying. Woot!

Later in the week, catch the Hot Pink Feathers, Sister Kate, Tara Quinn, and Barbary Coast Shakedown at Baxtalo Drom -- The Lucky Road: Special Edition at the DNA Lounge on Friday. Kingfish of Hubba Hubba Revue will bring his merry self to host the show.

Add in Thursday's Little Minsky's show and Friday's regular Red Hots Burlesque show, and you've got your burlesque schedule for the first full week of October. :-)
