Tonight the Stanford Alumni Association is holding an event at the National Museum of the American Indian, which opened on the Mall in D.C. last fall. There will be a reception, then a talk by the director (who is himself a Stanford Law School alum), and an opportunity to view the museum. Should be cool. I’m going to try to head down there a little early and take some photos outside. It’s a nice day for it.
[Update (Apr. 15): Thom and I had a great time checking out the exhibits and the building itself. It’s such a great space. Some of his and my photos are up on Flickr, and there are more we’ve yet to upload. Aside: despite the large crowd of a few hundred people at the reception, I didn’t think I’d know anyone else there, but sure enough I ran into someone from my theater days.]
Speaking of Stanford, I interviewed a very nice Stanford alum for an open position here. The minute I read her resume, I immediately thought of you!
Dear God, I hope the Stanford soiree wasn’t held where it was because the team mascot used to be the Indian.
Tim, I should have been clearer: the “soiree“‘s purpose was specifically to visit the museum (i.e., it wasn’t merely a venue for a non-related event). The local association periodically arranges outings to various cultural institutions in the area.
