What to do in Chicago: Beyoncé, Vintage Store Day and BADBADNOTGOOD
Mayfest: The summer festival season gets underway with Lincoln Park's Mayfest. In addition to the usual music, food and fun, Mayfest will include a Spring Fine Art Mart featuring artists from across the country.
BADBADNOTGOOD: Perhaps best known for their Grammy Award-winning collaborations with Kendrick Lamar and Thundercat, Toronto's BADBADNOTGOOD has sold out two shows at Thalia Hall. See them perform their 'Mid Spiral' tour with Baby Rose and Tim Zawada.
CHIRP Music Film Festival: Love CHIRP's vibe? This weekend, you can see it reflected on the big screen, in a half-dozen or so movies that make up the CHIRP Music Film Festival. The festival closes Sunday with Sam Jones's Wilco documentary, 'I Am Trying to Break Your Heart.' In the meantime, you can watch 'Save the Children,' a film documenting a 1972 Operation PUSH concert featuring Roberta Flack, Marvin Gaye, Curtis Mayfield and more; 'Angelheaded Hipster,' a documentary about T Rex frontman Marc Bolan; and 'Lifers,' which captures a Local H show at the Metro.
Chicago Humanities Festival Lincoln Park Day: Another reminder that the Chicago Humanities Festival continues to chug along, offering a thought-provoking spring lineup. On Sunday alone, you can hear from actor Leslie Odom Jr. ('Hamilton'); Broadway producer Jeffrey Seller ('Hamilton' and 'Rent'); National Book Award-winner Ibram X. Kendi on Malcolm X; New Yorker writer John Cassidy ('Capitalism and Its Critics'); poet Reginald Dwayne Betts ('Doggerel'); a conversation between cartoonist Chris Ware and writer/curator Dan Nadel about cartoonist Robert Crumb; Michigan Secretary of State and gubernatorial candidate Jocelyn Benson; and activists Tamika Mallory and Amanda Nguyen.
'The Antiquities': Jordan Harrison's dystopian play offers 'snapshots of the earliest days of techno-danger (such as the AOL dial-up moment) and their connection to his imagined future where humans can no longer find any purpose in their lives,' according to the Tribune review. If you prefer theater that makes you think, get to the Goodman.
Wright Plus Architectural Housewalk: This weekend, homeowners in Oak Park, Elmhurst and Oak Brook offer a glimpse of private residences designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and his contemporaries. See how these historic structures live on as individual homes.
Vintage Store Day: April brought us Record Store Day and Independent Bookstore Day. Now we get the inaugural Vintage Store Day, co-founded by two Chicago shops — Lost Girls and Rare Form. More than 100 stores across Illinois will join with 700 or so across the country to encourage vintage shopping. Reduce, recycle, reuse — right?
Swing Into Summer: The forecast is looking good to get outside this weekend, so consider heading to Navy Pier to try out some sports. Coaches will be available to help you hone your skills in pickleball, wiffle ball, baseball softball or golf. The Pier Park Mini Golf Course will also host competitions.
The Sugar Hole: Summer must be around the corner, because The Sugar Hole opens this weekend. Now in its second season, the Color Club's ice cream stand is one of the city's most delightful experiences. Puppets — Puddles, Moolissa or Jeremiah Carburetor — take your order. Thanks to an expanded menu, that order could now include strawberry soft serve, adult drinks or Bang Bang Pie & Biscuit hand pies. This year's opening day, May 17, will feature a parade, yoga, a puppet show and crafts.

Sick of online dating, NYC singles are looking for love via PowerPoint presentations
They've got some hot pitches At the buzzy new dating event Pitch and Pair, Gothamites try to sell the audience on their single friends with three-to-five minute PowerPoint presentations. 'I have a lot of shy friends who are single who are really great catches, and they kind of don't flourish in the typical dating apps or speed dating because they're introverted,' said the event's founder, Joe Teblum, a 33-year-old who lives in Chelsea and works in tech marketing. 'I also saw that there was this trend of people wanting to meet in person especially after Covid.' At an event last week at Slate in the Flatiron District, 16 locals gave presentations to a few hundred in the audience. There were bullet points, short videos and tickers. 'He can explain things without making you fall asleep,' Kedar Venkataramani's cousin told the audience of the 30-year-old, 5-foot-8 intellectual property lawyer who lives in NYC. 'He has a sharp mind, a sharp suit, and zero ego.' The cousin also praised Venkataramani as a soccer enthusiast and tasting menu aficionado. 'He will take you to a Broadway show including 'Hamilton' or 'Book of Mormon',' she said. 'He also Citi Bikes everywhere like it's his personal Tour de France.' The crowd was especially excited about the presentation for Chris Puch, a 33-year-old firefighter who lives in Staten Island and is a pseudo-celebrity on Tik Tok for being a hunky public servant. 'He will cook healthy for you even though I've seen him eat $50 worth of Taco Bell in one sitting, so you don't have to worry about him being too healthy,' said his matchmaker friend, laughing. 'If you guys like to travel, he loves it. He's a world traveler, and he's been all over the world, and he's looking for someone to go with besides himself.' Anand Tamirisa, a 33-year-old who lives in Chelsea and works in investment banking, was another one of the singles on offer. He admitted that he had authored much of the presentation himself, even though it was given by a dating guru buddy. 'I'm working in PowerPoint all day so it's easy for me,' he said. 'I made it in two hours. I even have a ticker on the top and stuff.' His deck included information such as 'Moved to NYC in 2018 after being inspired by Jay-Z,' 'Works in investment banking but doesn't wear a vest,' and, 'Has performed stand-up comedy at world-class dive bars.' It proved effective. By the time he walked off stage, Tamirisa had five new 'follow' requests on Instagram. (At the end of each presentation the matchmaker friend tells the crowd how to reach the single, whether it's via Instagram, email or text.) 'If I end up with one of them it would be a really good story,' Tamirisa said. Pitch & Pair takes place twice a month at venues round town, including City Winery in the Meatpacking District and Second City in Brooklyn. It costs $40 to $60 pitch — with two tickets to the event included — and $15 to $25 to sit in the audience. The next event is August 4th at Caveat on the Lower East Side. Events regularly sell out shortly after being announced — in as little as 34 hours. When Teblum first came up with the idea about a year ago, interest was limited. 'Only one person wanted to do a presentation,' he said of the first event, which was held at Kilo Bravo bar in Williamsburg and only attracted a few people beyond his friends. ts some early iterations, people tended to roast their friends in an attempt to be funny. Audiences sometimes erupted into 'boos.' Now, Teblum tells participants to keep it positive. 'The crowd gets so into it,' he said. 'Like the matchmaker shows a picture of someone's dog or hobby and everyone breaks out cheering.' Still, Sophia Demetriou, who was the first single presented at last week's event, said the experience was slightly uncomfortable. Her former roommate extolled her virtues, including the fact that she has never lost a game of backgammon, can 'serve looks' and is a Pizza Hut connoisseur. 'It was terrifying,' said Demetriou, a 26-year-old fashion designer. 'But I do think this is how people are going to date in the future. It just makes sense.' Solve the daily Crossword
