They told him he could stay out all night, but with that amount of freedom, I believe he came home a little after midnight every night anyway. As long as his grades were good and he wasn't useless the next day, they trusted him to make good choices.

that's a good, working system. I never did understand the curfew thing. It has no effect on good or bad behavior. Kids should just understand how to juggle their time and they'll be alright.
Try the above approach with your parents. See if they'll let you out if you tell them where you'll be and what in general you plan on doing. You can probably get the curfew bumped up if nothing else, unless they're tyrants.
