January 28, 2020
Balancing dinnerware on a knife and spinning stacks of balls may seem like impossible feats, but not for the performers at the third-annual Game of Throws Gala Show Saturday night at Palo Alto High School.
Performers took the stage, showcasing their skills with stunning solo acts.

Protestor Mary Chan said she and her husband are horrified at the state of science and medicine in America. “What he [Trump] is doing by defunding scientific research is destroying our academic medical centers, and he’s [Trump] bankrupting rural medical centers,” Chan said. “We will have lasting negative impacts on American health for decades.”](https://palyvoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/11562FFE-9912-4152-BB01-582426B52ECB_1_105_c-225x300.jpeg)

Love this visual summary of the event.
Was seated in the front row.
Best audience experience ever-except maybe for James Brown and Aretha.
So, I am in the very last photo.
I am the little white haired cell phone photographer in the final frame of the group shot.
I sent all my shots to Sensei Matt.
Great eve.
I walked out feeling joyous.
