Party Purgatory
The limbo-like state between a daytime activity (party, barbeque, crawfish boil, festivity, etc.)and a night time party.

Party Purgatory usually conveys the idea that one has yet to determine what night-time event to pursue.

Usually, the period of party purgatory is a good opportunity to catch a nap, meal, shower, or change of clothes.
