Go to the Native American Museum in the middle of the night

Tuesday, September 21st will be the opening day for the Native American Museum on the National Mall:

They're having speeches etc all day, and a concert at 5:30pm. To get in the door during regular hours for the first week, you have to reserve a pass through the evil tickets.com. But from midnight on Tuesday through Wednesday morning, the museum will be open for all.

I have a long history of sneaking into museums and libraries late at night (ask about the "orgy" in the Yale stacks sometime). The Hirshhorn's "24 Hour Psycho" was a sort of neverending froufrou psychedelic gallery party where all the well-dressed people in DC emerged from hiding. I'm guessing this will be spookier and much more morally ambiguous.

Not sure it matters to you, but after perusing your site, I decided to head on down to the Museum of the American Indian last night. It was well worth the trip. Thanks for the suggestion, and I hope your site is around for some time.
