IDA benefit at 6ix Chix

Join us June 23rd!
We are starting our summer dinner series with a benefit for a good cause (for more information about IDA, please visit their website at www.idaofcal.org).  This event is limited to 30 seats for dinner-we still have a few spots left!- but if you don't need dinner feel free to join us after 9pm for ongoing music and drinks.  This is a pretty intimate setting for an up close performance by the talented Christopher Landon.

For those who are interested there will also be a pre-dinner bike ride out to Los Gatos and back leaving from 6ix Chix and returning in time for dinner.  Anyone can join this group for the ride (even if you're not coming to any part of the event-bike rides are fun!).  More details will be posted soon.

You can also like us on Facebook (find 6ix Chix) and find all the event information.  We promise to keep posting pictures and info about upcoming events for this summer!

6ix Chix Mini Randonee and Musical Gathering


6ix Chix presents an end of summer bike and music event.  Join us for our first Mini-Randonee (a 20 mile bike ride) to Alviso and back with a short break at Maria Elena's.  The ride will start at 4pm at the Naglee Park Garage and conclude roughly at 7pm at 6ix Chix farmhouse with dinner, music and drinks.
*NOTE-you do not have to ride to come to dinner and music portions of the night, but please RSVP!

The Details:
For the riders-$25.00 pays for 1. pre-ride fuel up with Barefoot coffee, 2. the (mildly-paced) ride, 3. recovery fluids (non-alcoholic drinks), 4. dinner and 5. music. Each rider gets a goody bag for the ride.
*when you RSVP please indicate what type of bike you ride (cruiser, road, mountain, etc.) to help us personalize your goody bag.

For the non-riders-$7.00 gets you in the door and helps support the musicians.  You can pay separately for dinner if you want food.  It help if you let us know that you will be eating.

For all-the bar will be open.  If you didn't ride extra food will be available for purchase.  You may also find t-shirts and bike decals.

About the Musicians:
To date we have a collective of 5 local singer/songwriters - confirmation pending:
Lisa Dewey (The Lotus Life), Ben Henderson (Good Hustle) , Chris Landon (Dirty Old Seven), Kinsey Lee (Wild Reeds)  and Christian Vela (Los Hot Boxers)

Bike Basics:
Please remember to be prepared.  Bring extra fluids, pump your tires, wear appropriate clothes, bring tubes, patches and pumps and remember it will be getting dark as we return.  We will work as a team on this ride-we ride at the pace of the slowest rider and always make sure no one gets left behind.

Oktoberfest is September 17th

Get ready for Oktoberfest at the 6ix Chix biergarten.  Festivities begin at 7pm on the 17th.

We're pouring 3 beers on tap from Hacker-Pschorr breweries- a lager, an oktoberfest and a weisse.  Soft drinks, wine and a few other German inspired drinks will also be available.  The menu is shaping up with authentic German goodies including Spaetzle, pork roast, beets in dill and sour cream, sauerkraut and bratwurst.  We're still adding more, including the vegetarian/pescetarian options, so stay tuned.

the new bar with Chris and Leni
This event will not be a sit down dinner and will not have an up-front cost- A first for 6ix Chix.  In keeping with our casual, crowded biergarten theme food will be served hot off the grill in a pay as you eat-style.  Bring cash or checks for bar and menu tickets.  As usual though, the backyard will have plenty of seating, a good fire and room to roam.  Because it is not a sit down dinner we have room for more revelers as well, so bring your friends (just make sure to RSVP so there's plenty of food).

The events do get crowded and parking can be an issue.  If you live nearby ride your bike-we have lots of safe bike parking .  Remember to dress for outdoor weather and/or feel free to wear your lederhosen and dirndls!
See you soon-All the crew at 6ix Chix

PS-Did you miss Vive La France?  Like us on Facebook and see all the photos-here's a few to get you motivated.

September - 6ix Chix is hosting Oktoberfest in the outdoor biergarten.  We'll be looking for the best lederhosen and dirndls, so this is your chance to pull them out of the closet, dust them off and throw them on.  Prepare for a great, casual food and drink event with food hot off the grill and beer flowing!  More details to follow-stay tuned.
Event Date:  September 17th

October - Get ready for the first annual Chicken Run (at least we think that's what it will be called). Join us for a bike ride out to Alviso with a stop at Maria Elena's for drinks, and then back to the house for a light dinner, drinks and music in the yard. Goody bags for everyone who signs up including decals and fun stuff. T-shirts for the event will be waiting for all our supporters. This will be a low key ride in the late afternoon. Alviso is about a 20 mile round trip.  If you can't make it for the ride and dinner, join us later for drinks and music.

Truly amazing Ben Henderson
Meanwhile, enjoy a few pictures from our last  event.  This night we lucked out with perfect weather and great guests, not to mention new teenage chickens in the coop and music from Ben Henderson!

We have a new page on Facebook that can be found (I think) by searching 6ix chix. Keep checking (and like us) as we'll be posting updates on these ongoing and upcoming events:

  • September is Octoberfest and will, of course, feature German inspired food and BEER!
  • October will be a bike and music event!  Sign up for a 6ix Chix cycle, and your ticket buys food and fun loot. After the ride join us later for drinks and music back at the house.


Again, a huge thanks to all who came,

Janel and Lou
(and all those chickens)
