This epic image is an original 1947 street poster that never got pasted
onto a building in Spain. It’s probably the only one like it in the world. Although Manolete was to be the headline attraction at this event, he did not appear. Four days earlier is when the bull survived, and Manolete did not.
Fortunately, everyone was gazing out the window when it came up for auction in Florida last week and the wizard emerged as high bidder. This poster is now being crated for shipment to Austin where it will patiently wait for The House of The Lost Boys to be built. Manolete will be the first of the Lost Boys.
Other Lost Boys being considered for induction are John Kennedy Toole, Jack Kerouac, James Dean and Philip Seymour Hoffman. If you want to suggest others, email your suggestions and arguments to Daniel@WizardAcademy.org
The House of The Lost Boys will be the masculine corollary to Engelbrecht House, that house of the Broken Angels. (Engel “Angel” Brecht “Broken”)
Other masculine/feminine dualities on campus are
(1.) the life-size statues, Into the Wind and The Old Man and the Sea that cap each end of Carricula Way, the underground approach to the tower, and
(2.) the Bell Wall built by the Belles of La Mancha and the Garden of Joy built by the Brothers of the Mudd.
