Burning Zozobra

Each year, in a frenzied show of flames, fireworks, dance and music Santa Fe torches the year's sorrows by cheering the flaming demise of Old Man Gloom. Zozobra is a 5-story tall growling, groaning symbol of darkness, transformed into heat, light and a pile of ashes by the evening events.

Zozobra is egalitarian, bringing the community together to banish the dross of the previous year. Burning Man is an excuse for posers to get wasted and hump.

Exactly! Burning man showed up way after Zozobra and in the words of 'kissfool' it is most definitely a poor excuse. Zozobra goes way back into Santa Fe's culture and is a deep meaningful event for a lot of santa fean's. Do you know of any other city in the US that pulls off something this amazing and has been for over 80 years? Learn some culture then talk.

Burning man, is, has and always will be an excuse for dirty hippies to walk around naked and fuck on acid. No culture, no spiritual worth, no divinity, a cultural fucking wasteland.

Zozobra is steeped in years of history, and so, is more noble, meaningful, and fulfilling. Great vid :)
