As an early person I think night owls have it better in some ways, yeah work can start early but if you want to do anything "cool" it's always late at night. Wish they'd do more daytime concerts and stuff

Oh cool! Daytime concerts in the scorching Sun!

One of the best shows I have seen was Sun Ra and his Arkestra opening for Sonic Youth in Central Park July 4th 1992. The show started in the afternoon.

Fuuuuck that sounds amazing

It was and I went in knowing nothing about Sun Ra. My hippie buddy was less than impressed with Sonic Youth so we dipped halfway through. SY isn't that great outside and Sun Ra was remarkable.

I've seen the Arkestra several times with Marshal Allen but I never got to see the man himself.

Ha, yeah I could see SY not translating to an outdoor performance.

The only other time I saw parts of the Arkestra was when Trey Anastasio closed the Academy and some of the band playing that night were in the Arkestra.

Early bird here, am alwaya tired by 9PM, don't even wanna go out on Saturday nights any more.

I'm with you on this. Dance socials always starting at like 10PM, like could we not have done this earlier?

When I get off work, I have a good 7 hours of daylight, all the stores are still open, I can take a nap without ruining my sleep, I have plenty of time to play with my kid. I'm very cool with going to bed at 9-10 if that's the tradeoff.

If you like loud, raw techno music and darkness, you could go for a morning party at Tresor in Berlin when the tourists are gone (and only the most dedicated heads are still there). I went there recently from ~6AM till 12 noon, and had a really great time. However, I'm no early bird myself; I had been awake in the streets through the night, but didn't go to Tresor until the afterhours. I believe less than 30 people were there along with me, everybody respecting each other doing their thing and enjoying the experience. No idea if that's a good way to start your day though?
