Gallo Center for the Arts

REO Spredwagon great show!  The Gallo Center is a beautiful place.  Every show I have seen there is fabulous. So happy to have this in Modesto

Not fair at all I was high bidder on silent auction guitar, suppose to end at 9:30 at 9:28 guy rolls up in wheels chair sits there for 5 minutes trying to decide what to bid I kept telling the lady nicely that time was up it's now 9:33 it's over but she let him bid so unfair I know it's for charity but as soon as he bid they called it over wouldn't let me out bid him I go to at least 8 shows a year I will never go there again .thx  Gallo arts if that's how it works i'm sad to think you work that way

Modesto has nice things.

I repeat, Modesto has nice things!

Yes, I couldn't believe it myself until I was lured to buy tickets for Lewis Black (comedian of Comedy Central and The Daily Show w/ Jon Stewart fame). Decided to make it an evening with my lovely and equally silly lady cousins. The lobby is grand like nearly Opera House grand with marble floors, columns reaching almost to the ceiling, very grand.

The staff are also very helpful, some of which I think volunteer here as well. We were in balcony seats, 3rd floor but surprisingly although I paid less than the fortunate ones in "orchestra", the view was spectacular and I didn't feel like I was in the nosebleeds. Mr. Black's performance was uproarious with his angry outbursts and colorful portrayals of people who just don't get it.

I think what I loved the most about his act is his wondering what makes us all stay in Modesto, sometimes I wonder that myself but when you really think about it, it must be the wine as he alluded.

Can't wait to see Martin Short  here in November!!!
