Grammar

Use of the word "Too"

I am always discovering new things about the English language. Is it possible to write a sentence such as this -

I saw him on Friday at a disco, too.

If so, could someone please explain the grammar to me. The same applies if it is incorrect.

Thank you in advance

That sentence is fine. There may be more technical analuysis, but I'd say the "too" is being used as a tag, and it means "as well" or "in addition" - so in this case it could mean 1) I saw him more than once this week, (on a day other than Friday) 2) I saw him at a disco as well as at the pool. 3) ( less likely) I saw HIM as well as some other character you spotted at a disoc on a Friday!
