Lean Legs and YAM


The Best Third Friday of the Month Summer Happy Hour starts again at 6:00 pm on April 21st, courtesy of the Young Affiliates of the Mint's (YAM) rooftop access to the Mint Museum of Craft and Design at 220 N. Tryon downtown.

This fundraiser, a chapter of the organization's continuing philanthropy, attracts a scene similar to the picture at the left, and offers this blogger a shot at helping the reader decipher his crappy Dr. Seuss headline.

For twenty bucks, nonmembers are treated to unlimited alcohol (limited beer and wine) and local cuisine, while it lasts. The scenery, whether you appreciate a skyline, fine art, or tanned flesh is subject to the individual palate.

Membership, on the other hand, is a mere sixty dollars a year, offering discounted access to a slate of popular annual activities such as the Jazzy Ladies movie series on the Mint's front lawn (April 30) and the running of Derby Daze on May 6th.

For the uncivilized, this is probably not for you. But consider if it's worth cleaning up for participation in one of the city's largest organizations, already some five hundred strong.

Maybe then you'll see why I want to call it the Yummiest Adults in Mecklenburg.

Anybody have any better acronyms? Post your response.
