San Francisco area burlesque for June 30 to July 6, 2010

This week includes a 4th of July weekend, and there will be some shows to help you celebrate the founding of our great country!

The Hubba Hubba Revue will have a show on Saturday, a "Star Spangled" Saturday, no less! If the HHR can't set your rockets off, nothing will! And don't forget the 4th of July "after party" on Monday at the Uptown Club! There will be an abundance of entertainment from HHR including the fantastic Kitten on the Keys, the funny and talented juggler Frank Olivier, and the smokin' hot Anni Boelyn & The Kountry Kittens visiting from Sonora!
