Ghouls and Boo-ys,

The cast of the Belmont Burlesque Revue has decided to
offer a little something extra this year for our
favorite festival, Halloween! In addition to our
regularly scheduled show on October 27th, the Belmont
Burlesque Revue will also be offering a special
performance on Saturday, October 13th at Martyrs' Pub
(3855 N. Lincoln Avenue).

Jack Midnight and Second Cousin Joe, along with the
screamingly sexy Belmont Bombshells, will bring you a
mix of sultry, scary and outright silly tricks and
treats carefully crafted to summon shrieks of laughter
and squeals of delight. Join us for an evening packed
with special guest acts including the spooky
striptease of Claire de Lune, the ghastly comedy of
Jared Logan and Nick Vatterot, the otherworldly magic
of the Amazing Tomas and the preternatural juggling of
Brad French.

Ready to get the sexy shivers? Reservations can be
made at http://www.martyrslive.com or call
1-800-594-TIXX. Reserve today!

THE BELMONT BURLESQUE REVUE HALLOWEEN SPOOKTACULAR!

WHEN: Saturday, October 13th. Doors at 9pm, show at
10pm.

WHERE: Martyr's Pub, 3855 N. Lincoln Ave, Chicago

HOW MUCH: So much show for only $10!

TO RESERVE TICKETS: http://www.martyrslive.com or call
(800) 594-TIXX

I WANT MORE MORE MORE!!!: Purchase your very own
hand-made pasties or BBR gear at our Burlesque Booth.
Have it signed by the Bombshells during our post-show
autograph session!
Amy

I don't understand the mouth comment on my page B8. Please explain it to me. I'm too innocent to understand.

You guys are still funny, but I have yet to see all 7 of you up there at once. How much do I have to pay, huh, to get all 7 of the Basic Eight?

This page is getting lame.
Phranc





Mar 2 2007 4:07 PM

Sorry kids. Phranc likes to drink. Sometimes Phranc says and does things he doesn't mean when he drinks. Sometimes Phranc and mommy fight when Phranc drinks. Phranc had too much to drink before your show on Tuesday and didn't make it. Phranc is very sorry. Don't worry--Phranc still loves y'all more than anything in the whole wide world--except maybe drinking and online gambling. Now...shhhh...go to sleep...
