One of the most annoying things about bar flirting is figuring out if the person you're eyeing is single or taken. Enter Stoplight Party, a new monthly bash that eliminates the guesswork. Attendees are asked to wear green if they're single, yellow if they're between relationships or red if they're taken. The event is not only aimed at matchmaking, but also serves as a platform for up-and-coming bands — look out for Boy Wonder, BAM! and Brady and the Bear. If they're participating, you may find yourself chatting with a green-clad musician by the end of the night. Score.
