It's all who you know, Dutch.  Did you say that you worked in Ocean City last 
summer?  So you have a small foot in the door...Shoot, I just realized it was 
June already.  You're right, most of those places have a list of people who 
want to work there. Can you hang out in one of them during the day or when 
it's kind of chull, become a familiar face? Get to know the bartenders and let 
them know you're looking (but not the first thing you say).  Everyone knows 
everyone in the business in ocean city---maybe your current manager can help 
you out.  Even if you just get one or two shifts this summer in a good place, 
you'll be remembered and hopefully setup for next summer.  Ocean City's a 
crazy town in the summer--at least some of the bartenders are gonna lose it 
halfway thru :)!!!  

good luck
