Do they burn a new man every year or do they burn the same person annually?
It's short for "Burning Manny". There's one guy, Manuel Asada, and they burn him every year. It's cool though, he's into it.
Do you mean this guy? https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Manny_Garcia
I have so Manny questions....
Nope. It's Manny Asada, he co-headlines the festival every year with his cousin Manuel Labór
What's the story behind this? Who is Manuel Asada?
"Manuel Asada" is the closest I could get to a person's name that means "burning man". Asada is Spanish for roasted or grilled.
Lol ah ok. I was wondering if that was a joke comment or if there's some actual real lore behind the founding of Burning Man, etc.
Santa Fe has a pretty decent festival.
But it has been a few years since I lived in New Mexico. It could have devolved into Corpo garbage.
I went to Zozobra a bunch in the late 90's and early 00's. Then I just got sick of the tourist trappings of it all.
Balloon Fiesta really traumatized my dog. Now she growls and barks at any hot air balloon she sees. Even after moving to Colorado, she still can't stand balloons.
Living in a tourist town really isn't as fun year-round like it is on vacations.
I would, the way you describe it makes it sounds like a really nice event to see.
That is, as long as there's not heavy torrent of rain washing everything out.
Thanks for the reply / explanation, it was a good read.
It's too bad that the "other tribe" technique still works so well in today's politics.
If people ever started paying attention to the meta of the species, they'd realize we're all more like each other than we think.
It's pure head canon my friend. If you like it, feel free to take it and expand upon it
Nah, that's fine. I'll take the chuckle the explanation gave me, and move on.
It’s like a roast. His friends give him sick burns all evening one night a year.
