San Francisco area burlesque for May 19 to 25, 2010

It looks like this week, most of the shows are on Friday. So it'll be impossible to see all the shows, so all of you burlesque fans out there will need to make some hard decisions. Or perhaps not if you don't like to travel far....

You'll have a choice between Red Hots Burlesque at El Rio in San Francisco, Vieux Carre Burlesque Entertainment for Ladies at the Russian River Resort in Guerneville (part of the Russian River Women's Weekend), the Black Widows Gothic Strip Revue at the Uptown in Oakland, and the Hubba Hubba Revue: Caveman Show at the DNA Lounge in San Francisco.

Then on Monday, there's the weekly Hubba Hubba Revue show at the Uptown in Oakland. Can't miss that one! :-)
