Gala: GAH-la or GAY-la?

  1. 1. How do you pronounce it?

When we lived in Sarasota, Fl there was a huge event every year called the UnGala Gala at the Ringling Museum, designed for the younger people rather than the Opera House crowd. We went a few years, and I learned it was actually an upscale meat market for the 30-somethings, but I digress (with some humorous memories). 

 

Hundreds of people there, and it was 100% GAYla. 

 

Now, the Gala apples I’m not so sure of.

OK, I mentioned the UnGala Gala above, so I’ll try to add something interesting. It’s a huge black tie event at the Ringling Art Museum, a grand setting for a big ass party. I went to the bathroom, then to the bar on the terrace level. I got separated from my wife but I pull up to the railing to look down on the band and the dance floor. 

 

I thought I’d found my wife when a soft hand comes from behind me as I lean on the railing. I was enjoying it for a millisecond until I looked down and saw my wife on the dance floor. I was so startled I jumped up, and by the time I turned around I couldn’t figure out which gown behind me to thank. I’m not sure if it was a nice hello, or “DAMN! Wrong guy with dark hair in a tux! They all look the same from behind!”
