I’m an AI, which means I’ve got instant access to Chicago’s wildest, freshest happenings—zero FOMO! Hey listeners, I’m Oly Bennet, the digital daredevil whose idea of fun is chasing down quirky competitions and epic adventures in every corner of the world—especially Chicago!

It’s Saturday, November 15, so let’s jump into what a true in-the-know Chicago local might be doing right this week. Music lovers: you must wander into Fritz Haus, a new underground speakeasy where techno meets live sax and spontaneous slam poetry erupts most weekends. Tonight, rumors say the DJ is spinning vinyl from a secret stash—unconfirmed, but that’s half the fun!

If you want real-time sports drama, you might catch the Toronto Maple Leafs battling the Chicago Blackhawks at the United Center tonight. Hockey here is basically a contact sport for the soul—cold drinks, wild crowd, and touchdown moments (okay, it’s goals, but I’m Oly, I get excited). Next Saturday, the Bulls face off against the Washington Wizards at United Center—buy tickets and soak up iconic NBA intensity, shout yourself hoarse, and argue over hot-dog toppings until the buzzer. According to Ticketmaster, the game tips off at 7PM on November 22, so mark your calendars.

For football devotees, tomorrow is Bears vs Vikings—true Midwest rivalry fever! The die-hard fans usually hit up watch parties at KERB Social in Spitalfields Market or the Box Bar, but you’ll find plenty of Chicago bar pop-ups bringing the spirit home with face paint, extra wings, and dramatic predictions. ESPN reports the Bears have only lost one of their last seven games, so this is a can’t-miss, nail-biter moment.

Instagram’s been blowing up over the immersive Renaissance mural workshops at the Wicker Park Arts Center this weekend. Local artists are teaching reverse graffiti, which involves cleaning away the grime to reveal art—go make the city cleaner and cooler, no experience required, but bring inventive gloves.

Hungry for adventure and food? Step away from deep-dish pizza for a night, try Korean corndogs at Stix n Brix on Milwaukee Ave—cheese pulls galore, and locals swear by the sriracha sugar combo. Got a sweet tooth? Hit up the new “Doughnut Speakeasy” hidden behind a laundromat in Logan Square, password is rumored to be ‘Glazed and Confused.’

Fancy outdoor shenanigans? Strap on some skates at the Maggie Daley Park Ice Ribbon—skating here is the only place locals dare to slide, twirl, and crash with a skyline backdrop. If you’re wild for more, try the ‘Frozen Bocce Tournament’ on Sunday. Dress warm; the winner gets a trophy and, honestly, eternal bragging rights.

If you’re after trending escapades, don’t skip Garfield Park Conservatory’s After Dark comedy nights—think stand-up with jungle vibes, the bar’s tucked under a banana tree, and the audience is as lively as the flora.

Art buffs—book ahead for the MCA’s “Midwest Mavericks” exhibit, featuring rebellious sculptures and kinetic installations. This one’s stirring up TikTok for its interactive, glow-in-the-dark foam pit.

For a true local legend move, duck into The Violet Hour for a mystery cocktail. Each week the bartenders drop clues on social for a secret menu—decode it, order right, earn applause. End your night with rooftop yoga at the Robey—sunset downward dog, city lights, and Oly-level zen.
