First Friday Follies for Friday, July 3, 2009

It's now July, and the summer is flying by. It's time for back-to-school! Heh. I was in some Target stores recently and noticed that they've shipped out their patio furniture and replaced them with back-to-school stuff. Now they just need to get those Christmas items out on the floor....

But I'm getting ahead of even the discount stores! It's the beginning of July, which means that it's time for First Friday Follies (www.myspace.com/firstfridayfollies)! The East Bay's very own free burlesque show that coincides with Oakland's Art Murmur (www.oaklandartmurmur.com). Like many cities, Oakland's artists get together and have a night where the galleries are open late and there are all kinds of activities. Towards the end of the evening, the Stork Club hosts First Friday Follies where you can see some of the best burlesque acts in the Bay Area.

Here are all the details of the show from Cupcake:

Good Day, Ladies and Gents!

And Cupcake is not kidding about getting there early. The stage is at ground level, so the first few rows of people standing up will have a decent view of the happenings. Margaret France has been requesting that the first five or six rows of people sit, though, so more people have been able to see the stage. If she forgets, just ask her to make the request!
