Hey Chicagoland Singles!

To those of you who are new here, allow me to reintroduce myself. I’m Ashvin, and this is ‘Where’s Your Boo?’, Chicagoland’s weekly guide to singles and dating events. My job? To remind you that love won’t appear through endless swipes. It happens when you actually go out, to the dozens of singles events that I list each week happening all over Chicagoland.

And what a time to join us... because drum roll, please….Halloween week is finally here!

This week is special for two reasons:

  1. It’s the only time of year where “Boo” has three meanings: ghost 👻 , your future soulmate ❤ , and thumbs down 👎 (hopefully not all in one night).

  2. It’s also the one week when you can get more eyeballs than a Victoria’s Secret model….as long as you wear a costume.

Chicagoland’s loaded with parties where you can show off (or scare off) in full costume glory. OnLoveXperiences’ Halloween Bash and MeetIRL’s Halloween Singles Party are some of the big ones in the singles and dating events scene (details below). They’re the perfect places to say “Boo” to your potential boo. Just maybe don’t boo their costume if you’re hoping for a second date.

If you’re still stressing over what to wear, last week’s issue had 10 great last-minute costume ideas. But in the spirit of last-minute, I’m throwing in a few more this week for the true procrastinators (keep reading).

So get ready for an epic week! There are 20+ events packed into this issue, which means no excuses for staying in. And no matter what you wear, where you end up, or who you meet, just remember this: have fun, be responsible, and stay spooky!

Happy Halloween! 🎃

Tip of the Week

This week’s Tip: More last-minute costume ideas.

This week’s tip is for those who live life on the edge. For those who call procrastination a typical Tuesday. And for those who wait until the very last second to pick a Halloween costume. Because waiting 24 hours before just wasn’t enough to kickstart their adrenaline rush.

Last minute ideas:

  1. “Quarterback”:  Tape a quarter to your back. 

  2. Tourist in Your Own City:  Fanny pack, bad hat, camera. Ask locals where the Bean is.

  3. Plot Twist: Normal outfit, then carry a piece of paper that says, “Turns out, I was the villain all along.”

  4. Freudian Slip: Write random Freudian terms (“ego,” “id,” “Oedipus”) on slips of paper and tape them to your clothes.

  5. Smart Cookie: Tape cookies to your shirt and wear glasses.

  6. Gaslighter: Carry a small lantern, tell people they’re imagining things.

  7. Girl Math Professor:  Blazer, messy bun, calculator, and a whiteboard that says “If I pay with cash, it’s free.”

  8. The Gym Bro:  Cut-off tank, shaker bottle, constant flexing.

  9. The Bear: White tee, blue apron, and always mutter “Yes, Chef.”

  10. Blockbuster Employee: Blue polo, “Be Kind Rewind” sticker
