6THWAL_130507_005.JPG: Through the Years:
In the beginning...
The first Sixth & I events postcard in 2007 featured a grand total of three events.
Six years later, each monthly postcard advertises an average of 30 events, from author readings and Shabbat services to jazz musicians and group runs around DC.
Browse over 60 postcards showcasing nearly a decade of our eclectic and acclaimed programming.
Can you find:
* How many Supreme Court justices have graced Sixth & I's bimah?
* Your favorite celebrity chef/famous foodie?
* Famous families or couples in conversation?
* Former presidential cabinet members, campaign strategists, or vice presidents?
* GRAMMY Award-winning bands and musicians?
* A ground-breaking comedienne?
* Any authors or musicians who have come back again and again? (Most appearances by a guest: 7!)
6THWAL_130507_169.JPG: Wall of Fame:
Justice John Paul Stevens spent 45 minutes discussing his memoir, Five Chiefs, but before the SCOTUS judge left for the night, he made sure to sign the wall.
In a back stairwell behind Sixth & I's hallowed sanctuary, the wall is a shrine to the celebrities and comedians, writers and rock stars, politicians and pundits who have graced our biman.
Shelton Zuckerman, one of Sixth & I's founders, credits his wife, Rory, with starting the tradition. A former singer, Rory borrowed the idea from the venues she's performed in.
Rob Corddry was the first to sign the wall, or at least that's what his claims in his signature that reads: "First Wall Signing Rob Corddry Ha Ha Matthews." (Matthews being Chris Matthews who had appeared at the 'gogue just before Corddry.) Someone on the maintenance staff thought it was graffiti and tried to rub off the signature with soap and water. It's still smudged, but Corddry has certainly left his mark at Sixth & I.
Since then, the wall has seen a lot more graffiti. Zach Condon sketched a miniature Monet. Michael Showalter and Demetri Martin both drew self portraits. Mika Brezinski kissed the wall, leaving her lipstick mark, and Ma Rocca proclaimed, "I think I'm converting." We're still waiting for him to come back for his Bar Mitzvah.
While the names have gotten bigger, the signatures have had to shrink to make room for all of the talent that rolls through. The autographs now travel down the stairwell wall to accommodate the increasing volume.
With so many signatures, sometimes it's hard to find the one you're looking for, even if it's your own.
So it's not surprising that when Justice Breyer -- back for his second appearance at Sixth & I in October 2012 -- couldn't find his original penning, he ended up signing the wall for a second time.
