Eddie Dane Memorial shows coming up Thursday, April 14, and Friday, April 29

Friends and fans of the late Eddie Dane will be gathering together in the next few weeks to celebrate the life and achievements of one of the true pioneers of the neo-burlesque movement. And one of the leaders of the Hubba Hubba Revue, too.

This Thursday, the DNA Lounge will be hosting the Eddie Dane Memorial Bash! It's a free event with a suggested donation of $5.00. There will be lots of performances from Sparkly Devil, Honey Lawless, Bunny Pistol, and many more of the famous performers that came to know Eddie Dane through burlesque.

There will be some sadness with the memories that will be recalled, but there will also be lots of laughter for sure, because that is what Eddie Dane wanted: Laughter from the audience. Even if he had to get into a pink bunny suit (photo by RJ Johnson)!

There will also be music from the Hi-Rhythm Hustlers! And there will be dance music, also, provided by DJ Tanoa Samoa Boy.

So this Thursday, head on over to the DNA Lounge to help celebrate one of the greats of San Francisco Bay Area burlesque: Eddie Dane. The doors will open at 8:00 p.m., and the show will start at 9:00. DNA Lounge is located at 375 Eleventh Street (map). If you have $5.00 to donate, bring it, otherwise just bring yourself and a some friends to remember and celebrate Eddie's life.

Over in the East Bay, there will be another Eddie Dane memorial event. It's called the "Give 'em the Finger for Me! A Memorial Benefit for Mr. Eddie Dane," and it'll happen on Friday, April 29, starting at 9:00 p.m. at the Uptown Club in Oakland. The show's title is in reference to an Eddie Dane story often told by Kingfish of the Hubba Hubba Revue.

The MC will be Sparkly Devil, and it will feature performances by burlesque artists such as Cupcake and Lil Eyeful, Juicey Delight, Honey Lawless, Alotta Boutté, and Sin Sisters Burlesque members Rizzo Rogue, Dorian Faust, and Madam Chartreuse! Plus there will be a live performance by Scission! It will be quite a show!

It will be at the Uptown, which is at 1928 Telegraph Avenue in Oakland (map). It's very close to the 19th Street BART station, and there's usually quite a lot of street parking.

So whichever show you go to, or even if you go to both shows, have a good time. And laugh a lot. That's what Eddie Dane would have wanted most of all.
