Carlos Blanco of the Thrift Shop Sampler is simply put, really just "an honest to 6 pound 8 ounce infant baby jesus party animal" -Danarchy- , who's appetite for music, dance and the expressive arts is insatiable.
Interests vary of course and if not behind his low-budget, yet trusty, outdated SU700yammaha beat pirating device, you might find this sarcastic bastard working fah tips at a dead end job, jottin down a few poetic lines, attending outdoor ruckus raising gatherings with his beloveds or daydreaming that he is down the street fervently making "whoopee" with his neighbor's wife while on a conference call with his favorite sex line, his pastor and his stock broker...all at the same time! Enjoy!
ThriftShopSampler, we are having a surprise party for you with all your favorites.......a gothic puppet show with bloody hobo puppet sex and drunk bird juggling and homemade explosives and a mime that shouts at people for being not cute and a tragic magic show and a wet pants contest and a battle off between a robot hooker (everyone loves robot sex)and an out of work wizard who got busted for selling wine coolers to minors and some really super kick ass music. So act really surprised when the homeless magician/male erotic dancer jumps out of the cake and dirty dances with you!
