    We hired Silvi for our wedding. As a writer, with photography as one of my favorite hobbies, Silvi and I instantly connected on a dual-brainstorming scheme. I would shoot the photos and print them, she would bring her typewriter and help our guests create some poetry. What resulted was a stack full of love from our friends and family as keepsakes from our wedding day. Silvi and I met for lunch at Cafe Gratitude and I was immediately struck by how if we had randomly met on the street, we would have been fast friends. We're both creative spirits, we're both writers, we both love this town, and live for connecting through our thoughts, hearts, and words. Silvi took the time to ask me "my story," and then sat there for close to an hour while she hung on every word. By the end of it, she said she was so appreciative to know more about my (future) husband and me before she would create love poems at our wedding. She brought out her typewriter and practiced on one of my photos and we both squealed in delight. To top it off, she asked if she could come to the wedding ceremony to get even more of a sense of Wolf and me and our community. This personal touch was exhibited through the sweet nature of each poem, from friends, from parents, and from five year old kids alike. Also, when I struggled to save money to continue with my creative touches at our reception, I reached out to Silvi to see if we could borrow some of her extra typewriters as props for our seating chart table. She happily obliged, saving me from having to hunt down & rent antique typewriters at prop shots, or buy them unnecessarily at flea markets. The other night, my husband and I sat down on the floor and looked through all of my images with our loved ones' love poems to us with help from Silvi. I think it was the best idea we had for the whole wedding and we both look forward to looking back on these words of love and support from our family & friends, and Silvi, for the rest of our lives. (stay tuned for photos showing Silvi in the act at our wedding. It was incredible!)

    BAY AREA FINDS NEW ADDICTION FOR BURLESQUE AND HUBBA HUBBA REVIEW IS THE "DRUG" OF CHOICE!…read more SIT-REP (Situation Report) *DIVE! DIVE! DIVE!* NO. That is not a command with the KLAXON HORN alert indicating that a SUB is SUBMERGING, but rather the heads-up that we have entered the "DIVE BAR" ZONE! AND it's a "Double-Header" because Hubba Hubba Review not only resides in just one venue but TWO that I've been to: The DNA LOUNGE in SOMA San Francisco and THE UPTOWN in Downtown Oakland. Both venues lend themselves extremely well to special events of the Gothic-Industrial-EBM genre as well as host AMAZING special events in VAUDEVILLIAN and BURLESQUE fashion. THE SET-UP I've been going to HUBBA HUBBAs for the last 8 years now. They range from Spectacular Spectacular HALLOWEEN PARTIES featuring burlesque performances by the nation's most talented women, incredible music performances including the awesome symphonic sounds of ROSIN COVEN, and the wittiest comedy sketch banter led by Master of Ceremonies, JIM SWEENEY (aka the KINGFISH). But it doesn't stop there! There are specially THEMED parties and events that take hold of the imagination and include BUCCANEERS, DICTATORS and ALIENSI Truly amazing fun! I ALWAYS have a fantastic time at these extravaganza if I don't say so myself. THE LOWDOWN You are bound to have a great time at any HUBBA HUBBA you attend, and don't be surprised if you are abducted by GYPSIES or molested by a GORILLA! (I have been by both and I LOVED IT!) [Ha! The survey at the bottom is asking if this is "Good For Kids?" Since Yelp is asking, I'm gonna have to say....."YES!" Oh wait, I meant "No." Whoops! Too late! ;^D

    Been by a couple times because it's hosted by DNA but it's not really my scene…read more That being said I headed over for their xmas party and LOVED the band they had playing, Meshugga Beach Party. I can't say enough awesome things about them. Fun, cute, and lively enough where a couple hours went by and I didn't notice until my shoes started hurting. The dancers didn't go on until at least midnight, but by that time I'd skedaddled home for work the next morning. 15 dollar cover, totally worth it in this instance.

    We had a fabulous night at the Orpheum Theatre, the first time we had ever been there! We love to…read moresee the Phantom of the Opera and it did not disappoint! This is about the fifth time I have seen the play and it was very similar to my previous views with some very minor differences. The venue is fantastic. Originally called the Pantene's Theatre opening in 1926 it has many of the classic furnishings and feel such a historic theatre should have (which we enjoy)! It seats just over 2,000 people so it's not overly large or too small either. The stage may have been slightly smaller than some of the other venues we saw Phantom at but it did not change the show much. Other notable shows which have appeared here are Wicked, The Greatfull Dead, and the Conan O'Brian Late night show. I would recommend getting the priority pass to get inside quickly which also gets you priority access to food and drinks. You can order food and have it delivered to your seat as well which is extremely nice! If you are using Uber or Lift, drop off and pickup is along side the venue as they are not permitted to do this in front of the theatre. Highly recommended the venue and look forward to coming back!

    Orpheum Theater is such a gorgeous venue…read more We have been here several times for various Broadway shows. Most recently, we came to see Phantom in the Opera and oh my goodness, the interior is so breathtaking every time. The sound quality is top tier and the performances that have graced the stage along with the voices and the orchestra, are quite the experience to take in.
