Gala Avary Selects Vol. II

Gala Avary (producer of THE VIDEO ARCHIVES PODCAST and host of THE GALA SHOW) invites you into the scene...

POV: It’s December 4th. You know what that means. It’s my birthday and you’re invited to my party! We’ve already been out to dinner and had all of my favorite things: nachos, rigatoni a la vodka, and endless iced tea. Don’t forget the bread rolls! I’ve blown out 28 candles, plus one for good luck, and made my wish. Oh, you want to know what I wished for? It's bad luck to share so I’m keeping it to myself. Now that dinner’s over, it’s time for gifts — but wait! Just because it’s my birthday doesn’t mean you don’t get something too. Come on, unwrap it. It’s just what you wanted: 20 new Arrow Selects hand-picked by myself. Which one are you going to watch first?
