Any other social dinosaurs in Wicker Park?
My wife and I are in our late-40’s. In Wicker Park years, that makes us approximately 157, but we’d still like to hang out with people occasionally. Posting here to see if there’s another couple in a similar age bracket looking for the same thing.
We’re pretty laid back people. Get along with most anyone. My wife is an introvert until she has her first drink. I can carry the conversation until that happens.
We like to play shuffleboard at Royal Palms. Go to standup at the Lincoln Lodge. Improv at Logan Square Improv. Find good food in WP & Bucktown or anywhere else the blue line takes us. Play board games. Drink prosecco (her) and IPAs (me).
Topics we’re well-versed in: Having older kids (18 & 20), working in healthcare (her), working in education (me), being nomads (11 states & 2 other countries), living with a handsome, emotionally needy cat, Gregory Alan Isakov’s music, Premier League soccer (just me), and reading trendy psychological thrillers that usually have a mid-30’s single British lady who is also a little messy as the protagonist.
For some additional info, we love these tv shows: Veep, Silicon Valley, Severance, Widows Bay, Arrested Development, I Think You Should Leave, Succession, and Love is Blind (everyone needs a guilty pleasure show).
DM me if you’d be up for hanging out some time. Since our kids are old, we can even go out on school nights.
