San Jose Strip Clubs: Looking for some campy musical theater? Look no further than the ‘Zombie Prom …

… It leaves no stereotype untouched,” he said. “It’s as if the musical ‘Best Little Whorehouse in Texas’ were to meet television’s ‘Desperate Housewives.’ This is about people who never change.”
“Zombie Prom” is the opposite. It’s time-specific.
“This show is all about spoofing the horror zombie films of the ’50s,” director Jason Ford said. “It also spoofs the era itself. I expect anyone who lived in the 1950s to be thinking, ‘I actually thought like that and dressed like that? What was I thinking?’ ”
The plot of “The Great American Trailer Park Musical” revolves around Norman and his agoraphobic wife, Jeannie, and what happens to their relationship when a hot young stripper named Pippi becomes their neighbor at the Armadillo Acres trailer park. When Pippi’s jealous and slightly crazed ex-boyfriend Duke arrives, the comedy really takes off. Adding to the zaniness is a sort of Greek chorus of three dysfunctional female trailer park residents.

San Jose Strip Clubs: Police: Hells Angels funeral shooter may be dead

Police found Ruiz’s motorcycle at the funeral, Lt. Alan Cavallo said. Ruiz has not come to claim it.
Investigators even obtained a search warrant to dig up Pettigrew’s grave, Cavallo said. “We did that based on information that it was possible Mr. Ruiz was in that hole, and we wanted to verify that he was not in there,” he said.
Police said Pettigrew was shot and killed Sept. 23 by Ernesto Manuel Gonzalez, an alleged member of the rival Vagos motorcycle gang, at John Ascuaga’s Nugget casino in Sparks, Nev. Gonzalez, 53, of San Jose was arrested by a UCSF police officer in San Francisco six days later.

San Jose Strip Clubs: Sources: 38-year-old San Jose biker is suspect in cemetery slaying

… He was a friend first and foremost, and being told that San Jose Police dug up the grave was more than could be imagined,” said “Big Ed” Aki, a leader with the Henchmen motorcycle club in San Jose. “First Jethro and now Steve (Tausan,) both friends who helped the Henchmen San Jose Chapter. There are no words to describe this loss.”
Police, who on Monday identified Tausan, a former Marine, ex-boxer and San Jose bail bondsman, as the victim in the case, have said nothing about what they suspect was a motive.
But sources said it appeared the two men had argued before the shooting.
Sources said investigators later found a weapon which may have been used in the shooting of Tausan, a popular member of the Santa Cruz chapter of the Hells Angels known as Mr. 187, after the penal code for murder.
Tausan was prosecuted 14 years ago on suspicion of killing Kevin Sullivan for drunkenly badgering a dancer at the Pink Poodle strip club in San Jose and then insulting the motorcycle club.
