Happy Hour and Dinner

Please make your reservation on dayofus.com. This is a paid event. DayOfUs brings strangers together for unforgettable dinners.

This time we’re keeping things fun and active by hitting the lanes for some bowling at Classic Bowl, followed by grabbing dinner nearby! Here’s what to expect * We will meet at **6:00 PM** at Classic Bowl to put our names down for a lane. * Since they do not allow reservations for just one lane, we will be walking in. Please note there is a chance we might need to wait a bit for a lane to open up! * After bowling, we will head to a nearby restaurant for dinner to hang out. We plan to wrap everything up around 9:00 PM. * Everyone pays for their own share. The lane is about $70/hr which we will split. If possible, please bring cash. * If your plans change, please cancel at least a day before so we know who to expect for the lane. * Limited to **12 seats** only this time, since a single bowling lane holds exactly 6 people! This is a relaxed, social evening—come by, meet new people, and enjoy some bowling and great food together.

**A new format: you choose who you're interested in meeting** This meetup is about getting to know new people and sharing the experience in a small group (3-6 people). *We use the LYTT platform to handle group size and balance - so you're not just hoping someone interesting shows up.* To apply you will need to create an account at [lytt.me](https://lytt.me/meetup/jazz-night-rex) \- it's free\. **The event: Bebop & Standards at Toronto's Jazz Institution** The Rex has been Toronto's jazz institution since 1951. The intimate upstairs room fits 60 people max - candlelit tables, craft cocktails, and musicians close enough to see the sweat on their brows during a solo. Thursday nights bring bebop and standards from some of the city's best players. Two 45-minute sets with a break in between - perfect for catching up with your crew, debating whether that bass solo was genius or showing off, and ordering another round. This isn't background music. This is sit-down, listen-up jazz from people who've dedicated their lives to it. The whole experience runs about 3 hours. **The group: LYTT platform** LYTT forms small groups for events and activities you pick. 1\. Click 'Attend' here on Meetup\, then head to [lytt.me](https://lytt.me/meetup/jazz-night-rex) to create a quick profile (photo, a few interests, short bio) 2\. Browse others who applied and select who you'd want to meet 3\. We form groups where the interest is mutual 4\. You get notified when your group is confirmed \- payment happens then 5\. Show up knowing your crew already picked you \- *but no one knows who picked who*, to keep mystery and low pressure Applying doesn't guarantee a spot - but we may form multiple groups or invite you to similar events with other crews. **What's included:** \- Entry to the upstairs jazz room \- Two 45\-minute sets from world\-class musicians \- Set break for conversation and connection **Details:** **Cost:** $25 CAD.
