SITC ANNOUNCEMENT ARCHIVE
[TOP]
February 29, 2008 - The Bottle / La Merenda
Well, here it is: the Six in the City finale. In case you missed it, we've announced that February 29, 2008 will be the last Six in the City. To go out in style, we decided to put together a double-header SITC event.
Thank you again for all the good times. Just remember that whether you're originally from Wisconsin or around the world, we're all Milwaukeeans. In honor of the double-header SITC, here's a double-header song for you, inspired by Queen's "We Will Rock You / We Are the Champions":
Buddy you're a boy, make a big noise
Sixin' in the streets, gonna have a big plan some day
You got rum on yo' brain, but not champagne
Sixin' your can thru snow and the rain (sing it!)
We will, we will Six you
We will, we will Six you
Baby you're a woman, Six fan
Dancin' in the street, gonna take on the world some day
You want Bloodies embraced, no big disgrace
Sixin' and scattin' all over the place
We will, we will Six you (sing it!)
We will, we will Six you
Buddy you're an old friend, good friend
Dressin' to the nines, gonna have us a fun Fri-day
You got a smile on yo' face, don’t be late
Somebody better get you there, Six is your fate
We will, we will Six you (sing it)
We will, we will Six you (everybody)
We will, we will Six you
We will, we will Six you (all night)
We've paid our dues, had a great time
We've done our penance, for committing bad rhymes
Near this Great Lake, we've had a few
We've hit our share of pubs, Sixed with some grace
And we've met you
We are Milwaukeeans, my friends
And we'll keep on Sixing, 'til the end
We are Milwaukeeans
We are Milwaukeeans
No time for snoozers
'Cause we are Milwaukeeans…
From the world
We'd taken our vows, made stops 'n calls
We got acclaim and fortunately you chose to Six
We thank you all
And it's been a bed of roses - our pleasure, too
We considered it a challenge before the whole social state
And we weren't gonna lose
We are Milwaukeeans, my friends
And we'll keep on Sixing, 'til the end
We are Milwaukeeans
We are Milwaukeeans
No time for snoozers
'Cause we are Milwaukeeans…
From the world
We are Milwaukeeans, my friends
And we'll keep on Sixing, 'til the end
We are Milwaukeeans
We are Milwaukeeans
No time for snoozers
'Cause we are Milwaukeeans…

January 18, 2008 - Brocach
Happy 2008, everyone! The first Six in the City of 2008 will be January 18. Hopefully your December wasn't too long - since the last SITC we've seen snow come and go, holidays slip away, and New Years filled with cheer. If it was too long of a December, we've got a song for you courtesy of Counting Crows:
A long December, and there's reason to believe
Maybe this year will be as good as the last
I can't remember, the last thing that you said as we were meeting
Now the days go by so fast
And it's one Fri-day up at the Sixin'
And it's one great night in "Millywood"
If you think that Six might be fun livin'
I think it should
(Nah nah-nah nah, nah nah-nah, nah-nah, nah-nah nah nah)
(Nah nah-nah nah, yeah)
The smell of cocktails in the winter
And the feeling that it's all a lot of boys, sirs, and hella girls
All at once you look across the crowded room
To see the way that Six detaches, from the world
And it's one Fri-day up at the Sixin'
And it's one great night in "Millywood"
If you think Six might come to be euphoria
I think it could
(Nah nah-nah nah, nah nah-nah, nah-nah, nah-nah nah nah)
(Nah nah-nah nah, yeah)
Drive up your lakeside manners sometime around 6pm
And talk a little while about the year
I guess the winter makes you laugh a little slower
Makes you talk a little lower
About the times you were a Sixer, and it was a…
Long December and there's reason to believe
Maybe this year will be as good as the last
I can't remember all the times I tried to tell my myself
To hold on to these moments as they pass
And it's one Fri-day up at the Sixin'
And it's one great night in "Millywood"
It's been so long and we've seen devotion... I guess it's good
(Nah nah-nah nah, nah nah-nah, nah-nah, nah-nah nah nah)
(Nah nah-nah nah, yeah)
(Nah nah-nah nah, nah nah-nah, nah-nah, nah-nah nah nah)
(Nah nah-nah nah, yeah)
|
JANUARY'S SITC: |
 |
Six is back! We'll be meeting at the 2nd floor (non-smoking) bar at Brocach, a great new Irish pub. Brocach serves food, fantastic pints, and various other beverages. If we get any specials for Sixers, we'll make sure to post them on the SITC website.
See you at Six!

December 7, 2007 - Bruno's / Listwan's
The last SITC of 2007 is going to be the most festive Six ever! Read below for details. This month we had Lita Ford write us a little song:
I went to a party last Saturday night
I couldn’t see straight, I stayed out all night
Uh-huh, it ain't no big thing
Late for my job and the traffic is mad
But tomorrow is Six, can’t be so bad
Uh-huh, it ain't no big thing
I went to a party last Saturday night
I told you that story, it’d be alright
Uh-huh, it ain't no big thing
But I know what I like
I know I like Sixin' with you
And I know what you like
I know you like Sixin' with me - yeah, yeah
Six me once
Six me twice
Come on pretty baby, Six me deadly
Had a few beers, gettin' by
Sittin', watchin' the folks go by
Uh-huh, it ain't no big thing
Somethin’ to see, on this Brady
Hookin’ up the furor called S-I-T-C
Uh-huh, it ain't no big thing
But I know what I like
I know I like Sixin' with you
And I know what you like
I know you like Sixin' with me - oh, yeah
Six me once
Six me twice
Come on pretty baby, Six me deadly
Six me once
Six me twice
Come on pretty baby, Six me deadly
You know I like Sixin' with you
Sixin' with you, come on!
Six me once
Six me twice
Come on pretty baby, Six me deadly
Six me once
Six me twice
Come on pretty baby, Six me
Come on pretty baby, Six me
Come on pretty baby, Six me deadly

November 16, 2007 - The Palomino Bar
So, it's been a little while since we did a spoof of a song for the email, so this month we asked a can of Pabst to write our own little "bohemian rhapsody" for us...
Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide
An escape in the mad city
Open your eyes
Look out in the skies and see
I'm just a tall boy, I’ve got no sympathy
Because it’s easy come, easy go
Some on-time, some so slow
Anywhere the Six goes, doesn't really matter to me, to me
Drama, just chill my man
Got a pun inside your head
With some vigor, you will head
Come-on, life has just begun
So don’t be mean and drink me yet today
Come-on, ooh-ooh-ooh-oooh
Didn't mean to make things dry
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on, cuz Sixin’ really matters
Too late, my time has come
Sends shivers down my spine
Bodies ditchin’ all their limes
Good times, everybody - there’s tots, you know
Guess I’ll leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama, ooh-ooh-ooh-oooh (anywhere the Six goes)
I don't want to die
I sometimes wish I'd never been a Pabst at all
I see a little silhouetto of a can
Sweet vermouth, sweet vermouth! It takes two for the tango
Hundred bill, enlightening, very very frightening me
Palomino (Palomino!)
Palomino (Palomino!)
Palomino, Six did go (magnifico-o-o-oh!)
I'm just a tall boy, everybody loves me
He's just a tall boy, from the Pabst family
Spare him his life, you Six in the City
Easy come easy go, will you let me go?
Bismillah! No, we will not let you go (let him go!)
Bismillah! We will not let you go (let him go!)
Bismillah! We will not let you go (let me go!)
Will not let you go (let me go) (never)
Never let you go
Never let me go, oh
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go!
Oh mama mia, mama mia
Mama mia, let me go
"Beelzedub" has a Red Bull put aside for thee, for thee, for thee!
So you think you can store me and drink me tonight?
So you think you can chug me and leave me to die?
Oh baby, can't do that to me baby
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Sixing really matters, anyone can see
Sixing really matters, Sixing really matters, to me
Anywhere the Six goes...

That's right, August's SITC is a double header: an Edelweiss Fiesta boat cruise followed by an evening of cocktails at Stir on the riverwalk!

The cruise starts at 5:30pm and ends at 7pm. Advanced tickets are $20, admission includes all-you-can-drink margaritas and taco buffet. There aren't any SITC specials on the Edelweiss cruise.
For those who can't make the boat cruise, we will be heading to Stir after the cruise, probably a little after 7pm. Stir will have $5 designer cocktails for those with SITC.

March 16, 2007 - Cafe Hollander
Just remember, you never have to worry about Daylight Savings Time with Six in the City because "It's always 6:00 somewhere!"
So, we were trying to think of a word to rhyme with 'Hollander'... And we thought, what were those things that Devo wore on their heads in that "Whip It" video? Were those 'colanders'? Or flower pots, or what? And then we decided that it just doesn't matter, because:
When a problem comes along
You must Six it
Before the Beam sits out too long
You must Six it
When something's going wrong
You must Six it
Now Six it
Into shape
Shake it up
Get straight
Go forward
Move ahead
Try to respect it
It's not too late
To Six it
Six it good
|
THIS WEEK'S SITC: |
|
Let's Six it good this week. Cafe Hollander will have the following drink specials for those with SITC this Friday:

Got Six? The Journal Sentinel does. If you didn't see Friday's article on Six in the City and other social networking groups, check it out here.
And now for a classic song from a classic movie:
You must remember this
A Six is just a Six, a Fri is just a Fri
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by
And with the Sixin' crew
They all say, "How you do?"
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by
Twilight & fun throngs, never out of date
Artful and fashion, y'all will stay out late
We all meet as planned, and some will celebrate
That, no one can deny
It's still the same old story
A fight for fun & glory
A case of "see you Fri"
The world will always welcome Sixers
As time goes by
|
THIS WEEK'S SITC: |

SITC will be a ton more fun, and REO will completely understand if you miss their show - they'll always Keep On Loving You. So, in true SITC style, we're going to alter some song lyrics for you, so bear with us and Roll With the Changes:
------------------------------------------------
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from another you've been Sixin' around
You say you wanna meet friends
Stay out late every weekend
You're thinkin' about Six, the talk of the town
And you know the neighborhood
The drinks are cheap, inventory is good
And the tales grow taller on down the vine
And I'm tellin' you, babe
That I do think it's cool, babe
As always when you're out, keep Six in mind
You drink another rum, baby
If that's the way you want it, baby
Then I do want you around
I can't conceive it
2-for-1 gimlets?
You're under the gun so you drink another rum....
------------------------------------------------
Well, it's Time for Me to Fly, so without further ado, here's this week's SITC:

This week's email is brought to you by Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons! Everyone sing along
to "December, 2003 (Oh, What a Night)"...
Oh, what a night
Late December, back in 2003
Such a very boring time, you see
I remember, what a plight
Oh, what a night
You know we didn't even have the name
But life was never gonna be the same
Six upgrading, what a night
Oh I, I got a funny feeling when we called - Velvet Room
And I, as I recall Six bended up the room
Oh, what a night
Hip, enticing, mesmerizing me
Six was everything I dreamed it'd be
Sweet Six splendor, what a night!
I felt the rush, such a growing local wonder
Sixin' my neck around, avoiding social blunders
Oh, what a night!
Oh I, I got a funny feeling when we called - Velvet Room
And I, as I recall Six bended up the room
Oh, what a night
Why'd it take so long to see the light?
Seems so strong, and yes, it seems so right
Six upgrading, what a night
I felt the rush, such a growing local wonder
Sixin' my neck around, avoiding social blunders
Oh, what a night!

Sauce has prepared a SITC Feature List which will include the following: from 6pm-8pm they will have a few beer and glass wine specials plus some Sauce signature appetizers at a special SITC price. Then, at 8pm they'll move into a $5 martini menu - choice of three different fusion martinis, each of them only $5.
Sauce will also have a valet service starting at 6pm. In addition, there are two nearby parking ramps - check out ParkMilwaukee.com for more info. Thanks in advance to Sauce! See you at Six!

March 3, 2006 - Landmark Lanes
Without further ado, we bring you Vanilla Ice singing the rhyme of the week:
Yo, VIP... Let's Six it!
Six Six Baby, Six Six Baby
All right stop, collaborate and listen
Six is back, it's so grand - no pretension
Something, grabs a hold of me tightly
I go to the sa-loon, not daily but nightly
Will it ever stop? Yo, I don't know
On Friday nights, we will go
To the extreme, we rock the nights like a vandal
Fill up the place, wearin' pumps or some sandals
Dance, fun, Friday night resumes
Fulfilling your dreams like a masquerade costume
Deadly, when I bowl a mean game ya see
Anything less than 300 is a travesty
Roll it or heave it, you better make way
You better get a strike, a spare don't pay
Ya got a social problem? Yo, we'll solve it
Get down, unhook, while the Sixin' revolves it
Six Six Baby (will thrill ya), Six Six Baby (will thrill ya)
Six Six Baby (will thrill ya), Six Six Baby (will thrill ya)
Now that the party is bumpin'
All the ladies groovin' and the fellas are jumpin'
Head to the joint, to the joint - no faking
Meetin' our peeps, downtown, in the basement
Earnin' more, tryin' to spend a dimple
I go crazy, when I reminisce about Gimbel's
Where's the vibe at? At the Landmark Lanes, yo
I'm on a roll and it's time to go solo
Bowlin', at the 6-0-0
With my friends in town, total apropos
The arcade on standby, thinkin' I'll just fly by
Did you stop? No - it's Sixin' time
Kept on, pursuing to the Six flock
I busted a left, and I headed to the next block
That block was dead, yo
So I continued to... 2220, Farwell Avenue!
Specials were hot, rail mixers 'n some brewskies
'N lots of others - sorry, no martinis
Zealous, 'cause it's our Sixin' time
Mingling's all the rage, like the lemon and the lime
Ready, for some fun with y'all
Some fun and some thrills, like the Brewers and the baseball
Buns/brats - it's spring, can you tell?
It's 5:59, let's run like hell!
Sprinting, down the hallway so fast
Jumped in my car, slammed on the gas
Bumper to bumper, North Avenue's stacked
I'm trying to get inside, 'fore the place gets packed
We race to convene, you know what I mean
Some pass me up, convergin' on the scene
Ya got a social problem? Yo, we'll solve it
Get down, unhook, while the Sixin' revolves it
Six Six Baby (will thrill ya), Six Six Baby (will thrill ya)
Six Six Baby (will thrill ya), Six Six Baby (will thrill ya)
Take heed, 'cause I'm a lyrical poet
Milwaukee's got scene, just in case you didn't know it
Our town, with the places and the beats throwin'
Enough to shake and make holes in the Hoan
'Cause our style's got a tentacle feel
Reasonable times that you can vision and feel
Conducted and formed, Six is a hell of a concept
We make it hype... And you wanna Six
With us
Milwaukee's on the stage
Nice, it's so mint, yeah, fresh like a lemonade
So rad, other cities say, "damn"
With good times and some clubs, I'll tell it to ya, ma'am
We need some closure, so it's time for Grey Goose
Vodka tonic with a lime, maybe a gin 'n juice?
Ya got a social problem? Yo, we'll solve it
Get down, unhook, while the Sixin' revolves it
Six Six Baby (will thrill ya), Six Six Baby (will thrill ya)
Six Six Baby (will thrill ya), Six Six Baby (will thrill ya)
Yo man, let's get out of here! Word to your Sixer!

Was tired of going out Friday for coffee
As the work day did end
He said to his friend

Drinks, maybe dinner

Sixing is so easy, that's the way it is
What do you think about that?
Now you know how I feel
Say you can handle the grub, it's a great deal
It's oh so tasty, so give it a try

If you wanna meet some others, you must not forget

So here's a story from Water Street
You wanna Six with me, you gotta listen carefully
We got S in the place, who likes the little vase
We got C and two G's who like the rum and
Easy B doesn't want Chablis (nor a Pink Lady)
And at 6p...you'll see
Everybody's down - the wine is all around
Everybody's down - the wine is all around
If you wanna meet some others, you cannot Six with shy friends
Make it last forever, friendship never ends
If you wanna meet some others, you must not forget
Sixing is so easy, that's the way it is
If you wanna meet some others,
You gotta, you gotta, you gotta, you gotta
You gotta Six, Six, Six, Six!
Everybody's down - the wine is all around
Everybody's down - the wine is all around
Everybody's down - the wine is all around

February 3, 2006 - Scaffidi's Hideout
This week's SITC is brought to you by the number 66 and the letter S. In honor of the 66th Six in the City gathering, we are having "S Night" this Friday: everyone wear something that starts with the letter S!
Plain ol' shirts, slacks, socks, and shoes won't cut it. How about showing up with some sassy silver slippers? Or a sexy shaker sweater? A striking sleeveless '70s stretch shirt? Something along those lines, you know what we mean - use your imagination!
Of course, wearing something S-related is not a requirement for entry, but it sure would make for a super-social 66th Six!

SPECIAL NOTE: Due to the Thanksgiving holiday, there will be no Six in the City on November 25. The last two SITCs of 2005 are November 18 and December 2 - after that SITC goes on break 'til January 2006.
So, does anyone remember The Hooters? You know, the song "And We Danced"? Well, here's a little Six in the City rendition for you:
She was a bebop baby on a Fri-day night
She was hangin' at Yanni's, he was feelin' alright
Well I could see them coming from a block away
There was no use balking, there was nowhere to stray
So the plan became to stay and stay
And we Sixed
Like the Flav and the Nielson, we mixed
We were stylish - so much - and we Sixed
Swept away for a moment by this
And we Sixed and Sixed and Sixed
I'm with my bebop baby up from City Hall
Pourin' taps all night and shakin' crazy highballs
When I saw her dial across the crowded room
I said, "Phew - we barely made this fine saloon!"
As the place began to run out of room
And we Sixed
Like the Flav and the Nielson, we mixed
We were stylish - so much - and we Sixed
Swept away for a moment by this
And we Sixed and Sixed and Sixed

November 4, 2005 - Holiday House
What better way to announce this week's happy hour venue than to sing along to our very own Violent Femmes. It may be getting too cool outside to form blisters in the sun", but Friday night's SITC is going to be one hot spot!
When I'm done workin', I roll my cuffs
Cuz I'm so stressed out
On Friday night, I just might
Stop to check Six out
Let me go out
With the Sixers havin' fun
Let me go out
Shake hands, and talk with someone
Buddies and peeps, I'll claim these seats

She just grabbed a Mai Tai
Let me go on
Like a Sixer havin' fun
Let me go on
Bring friends, you know you'll have fun

October 28, 2005 - County Clare
Great turnouts lately, it's been a lot of fun! This Friday promises to be another jolly evening. This week's announcement is a special Irish rendition of "Livin' on a Prayer"!!!
Once upon a time, not so long ago...
Paddy used to pass out shamrocks
Union's been on strike
He's down on his luck...it's tough, so tough
Gina works airliners all day
Working for "the man"
She ends her Fri-days...at pubs, and clubs
She says we've got to go out, to this sweet spot
It doesn't make a difference if you're Irish or not
We've got each other, and that's a lot of fun
So give Six a shot!
Whooah, we're halfway there
Whooah, Sixin' County Clare
Take a friend - we'll mingle, I swear
Whooah, Sixin' County Clare
Paddy's got his six-figure stocks
Now he's cashin' in
'Cause he needs to make a buck...so much, it's tough
Gina dreams of clubbin' all day
When she buys Miller Lite
Paddy whispers, "Baby it's okay...don't sway"
You've got to go out, to this sweet spot
It doesn't make a difference if you're Irish or not
We've got each other, and that's a lot of fun
So give Six a shot!
Whooah, we're halfway there
Whooah, Sixin' County Clare
Take a friend - we'll mingle, I swear
Whooah, Sixin' County Clare
Sixin' County Clare!

October 14, 2005 - Swingin' Door
This week's venue is a favorite Milwaukee "corner bar" of some of the SITC organizers. So favorite, in fact, that it is often referred to in code so that others won't find out about it. You may often hear these SITC organizers referring to it by such related terms as the "Rotating Portal" or "Revolving Escalator" or "Gyrating Threshold", or by such completely random terms as the "Purple Platypus" or "Rusty Rectangle" or "Crazy Spoon."
Whatever you wish to call it, get there this Friday to see what this historic landmark is all about! (And read the OMC article below for a good description, too!)
