Like a scene out of a True Blood episode (in reference to the scandalous parties recently hosted by Maryann), this Fourth of July was truly spent like no other.

Adjacent to Chinatown in Los Angeles, you’ll find a tent housing the risqué Cirque Berzerk where a burlesque brothel/cabaret meets the innocense of a lost soul.  I won’t give out too much detail because I highly recommend you check it out for yourself - I hear they leave July 26th so you better hurry! 

After the show, we were treated to a live 10+ person band singing some very soulful tunes allowing folks to dance and let loose, and boy did they let loose. The beer garden was full of happy drunk people, from afar we got to see fireworks from all different angles; it was truly remarkable.
