Just thought some of you night owls might dig this.

This weekend is closing weekend for the Dali exhibit and they're staying open all night. After midnight the tickets are only $5.

I got tickets for 1 AM. Can't wait! Finally my love of surrealism coincides with my insomnia!

Not even a fan of Dali but that exhibit is great.

Curator Elliot King and his oversized Dada glasses will be giving tours through the Dali work 1:00 AM, 3:00 AM, and 5:00 AM Sunday. Various other music and film events are scheduled throughout the weekend as well. Free parking in the Woodruff underground lot all night/morning on Sunday, too.

I went to this last night and it's good. TONS of people though. I had no idea Dali was so trippy.

The "automobile giving birth to a horse chewing a telephone" really caught my attention. And his really large paintings were good too. Of course so was the image of a skull made from 7 nude chicks.

So I went. The exhibit was really cool but everything else sucked...I'm talking about the lines and huge crowd. We got there around 1:30am and spent nearly 2 hours waiting in the freezing ass cold just so we could wait in another line to pay. We waited in that one for about 10 minutes and then had to wait in another line for about 30 minutes to go into the exhibit. We walked around the exhibit for an hour and left at 5am. Im glad the parking was free and that it was only $5 to get in, otherwise, I would have left immediately when I saw how long the line was. Lesson here: never wait till the last minute! At least I got to see some cool art haha

Odd that I didn't see you. We got there about 1:30 as well but we'd already bought tickets online.

As much of a pain as it is to deal with crowds (and the completely lack of flow through the exhibit), I thought it was awesome. Not just the art, which was incredible, but also the fact that they had a museum packed to the rafters at 2 AM. They had lines from the door all the way to the street and traffic was backed up to the point that several intersections were blocked. It was even difficult to find street parking (legal or otherwise). Gridlock in the middle of the night for art! That is a goddamn beautiful thing...and appropriately surreal.

It's that shit schedule that always gets me. Monday is my day off and they're closed, I NEVER go on weekends, and 10-5 is when people have jobs. Every year we go to the High once and renew our memberships.

that's probably why...you got to wait in the short line and we had to wait in the looooooong line!

Ah...yeah, that would be why. As soon as I found out about it I jumped on it. Midnight and 12:30 had already sold out online so I grabbed a pair for 1 AM.
