When did this happen?  Sounds pretty gruesome.  Are you sure that it isn't
soc.singles of which you're thinking?

|	i)   to hear live blues

Sorry, I'm not a Blues fan..

|	ii)  to dance

For quite a while I went dancing at The Big Bop.  There were two floors,
with upstairs being Pop/HeavyBeat and the lower floor actually playing some
Beatles, and things like "I Like that Old Fashioned Rock & Roll" etc.  It's
located at Bathurst and Queen, in a building that looks like it's boarded
up and comdemned. :-)

|	iii) for a romantic dinner out

I have to admit a preference for Japanese food.  Keeping that in mind, I
like a place called "Yamasei" [sp?], on king street just east of Spadina
I believe.

|	iv)  for an inexpensive meal

Assuming we're ignoreing McDonald's here :-), I'd say Toby's is a fairly
nice place, although the menu is fairly limited [varieties of hamburgers,
chili, macaroni&cheese] their shakes are made with Haagen Daaz [sp] ice
cream.  Be sure to order two -- you'll finish the first one very quickly.
