Dinosaurs by Moonlight, part two
2 February 2007I was pleasantly surprised by the speedy response I received from the Museum of Natural History regarding my quest to sleep in the museum unaccompanied by a small child. I was not, however, pleasantly surprised by the nature of their response:
Dear Sir or Madam,
As of now, all of our sleepover dates are sold out through the summer. All of the waitlists for sold out dates are filled to capacity. We will have additional dates in the fall of 2007 posted on our website during the month of March. Yes, you still have a chance to attend one of our upcoming sleepovers as long as you are accompanying a child between the ages of 8 and 12 years old.
Please visit www.amnh.org/kids/sleepovers periodically for updates.
She foolishly goes on to sign her actual name and give an actual email address and phone number. Which means I have but one logical course of action to take here, which is to start a Studio 60-esque letter writing campaign in which I have all of the people close to me write emails to her about how much I want to sleep in the museum and how I promise I won’t do anything unsavory while dozing in its hallowed halls.
Up first: The Boyfriend. Immediately followed by The Best Friend (Jordan owes me for a reccomendation I wrote him for college) and, if we’re lucky, The Dad, then the coworkers (get warmed up, Nora/ Anna/ Emily).
