Tens of thousands of ‘burners’ urged to conserve food and water and shelter in place in Nevada’s Black Rock desert

You have to laugh … I remember Glastonbury, up to my knees in mud - it’s all part of the fun. Having said that, it’s unlikely turn into a survival situation in a field in Somerset, so not really that comparable …

    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.

    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.
