Gala (n.) – A solemn convocation of well-dressed and self-impressed Haitians, convened under the sacred pretense of philanthropy but dedicated chiefly to the twin arts of self-congratulation and gouyad. In Haitian circles, an event where non-profits simulate industry, attendees feign concern for the homeland, and all present engage in the noble pursuit of seeing and being seen—until the last drop of Prestige, or Barbancourt, is wrung from the evening.
