WTF - Daytime Rockstars

Living in a resort style environment, the fun never stops. In order to survive, we've become Daytime Rockstars.  What is a daytime rockstar?

Daytime Rockstars are that wild breed loving a great party, until it is bedtime. We time the last beer to one hour prior to our multi vitamin and sleeping mask.

Daytime Rockstars coined the phrase, "It is five o'clock somewhere" because usually we feel legal having a beer at noon on a Saturday because we are in bed by 9:37 then back up before the sun rises for more fun.

Daytime Rockstars have perfected the time of the "peak." This is usually after that first bloody Mary at brunch, way before the "shit show" at the stroke of midnight. They recognize when their body gently says, "It's gonna get ugly from here on out" or their mind reminds them, "no one appreciated the last time you danced on the bar, time to go home."

Daytime Rockstars avoid bars that advertise Happy Hours starting at 5 o'clock, or a band that starts at 830pm or large groups of friends going out for "just one."

Daytime Rockstars have also perfected the art of the "leave." 

They realize the words, "I'm out of here" should never be spoken in an open bar after sunset, prompting every friend to either

buy them another drink
convince them they will miss the most EPIC party evah
make them feel guilty, "you are the life of the party, why leave?"
grab them, not letting go until the bar closes.

Exit Strategies of Daytime Rockstars include:

Bait and Switch - this involves the bartender, take one for sleep, paying for the round of shots, distracting everyone as they sneak out the front door.

The Bus - this involves throwing another Daytime Rockstar under the bus, loudly proclaiming, "Shirley just said she was leaving!"  then exiting quietly as everyone convinces Shirley she should stay for just "one more."

Rear Window - Tell everyone you have to use the bathroom, hold your stomach and groan before closing and locking the door, this gives you time to use the screw driver in your purse to pry open the bathroom window.  Crawl out the rear window to freedom.

The Text - pay someone to send you a text and the appropriate time. Look at your phone, look shocked before confidently exiting the bar.  This usually only works once, unless everyone has already had your Bait and Switch shot and doesn't remember your dramatic exit from the bar earlier in the week..

Finally, The Braggart - splash cold water on your face, pinch your cheeks before proudly proclaiming, "This place is lame, I'm onto the next one!"  So what if no one knows your next one is "bed" and looking at "closed eyelids."

Look for the Daytime Rockstar among your friends, they are up early smiling and ready to do it again as everyone holds their heads complaining about staying up to late.

Or maybe it is the Centrum Silver kicking in giving them that smile.
