Just follow these simple steps to enjoy a lovely and free day at San Francisco's very own de Young Museum in beautiful Golden Gate Park.
Step 1 - Go to Golden Gate Park and walk around for a bit, enjoying the wonderful afternoon.
Step 2 - Mosey around outside the de Young, looking for someone with a member sticker to the museum.
Step 3 - Approach them, looking as desperate, young, poor, yet upstanding as you can muster in day old shirt and pants. Straighten your hair a bit, you slob. Ask if they are done with their members sticker for the day and then ask if you can please have it.
Step 4 - Watch as they uncomfortably weigh out their feelings about the fact that they have paid their hard-earned cash to be members of the museum and get these stickers, but also consider that they won't be using them anymore, no one gets hurt in the process, and they live in one of the most "bohemian", "free-loving", and "liberal" cities in the country. Even if this whole plan breaks down at Step 4, it is all worth it just to watch them mull this over for those few short seconds.
Step 5 - If they sigh gently and give you their stickers, place them on you shirt, jacket, poncho, bare chest, etc. and continue on. If they refuse, return to Step 2 and repeat.
Step 6 - Smile broadly as you enter the museum for free while museum staff open doors for you and thank you every 15 minutes when they see your member pass and express gratitude for your fine annual support of the arts, despite the fact that you look like this:
Step 7 - Enjoy the art in a way you usually don't because you don't feel pressured to get your "money's worth" out of the experience. Leave when you're ready. Then buy a cup of coffee for someone as a way of offsetting the karmic damage you have caused by stealing from fine culture, you rotten bastard.
Don't judge. You know you were going to wait for Free Museum Tuesday to even go anyway...
