    Had the opportunity to see Carlos perform his show and really lucky to chat and spend even a few minutes with him on Friday. Everyone, everyone should see this man, This is not a empty comment I am leaving to make myself feel good, this man is an inspiring and I will use him in my life going forward. Everyone should see this man. Listen to him and take what you need from him, that mind sound selfish. Amazing.

    This is the second semester I have used this piece in a first year college Writing class- having the students reflect on the various "cultural artifacts" laden throughout (the book of signatures, the shirt, the doll etc).
