Stories from Burning Man: Pizza Sluts
Fresh, hot love ordered by my subconscious mind
By the end of the week, I was craving salad. My cooler was in sad shape, lacking fresh fruit and veggies. I’d even eaten up all the mac n’ cheese and Annie’s raviolis. A stack of Cliff Bars and some packets of miso soup were still lingering in out tent. Real food was becoming a bit of a fantasy in the heat of the desert.
One morning at Your Mother Bar, we were serving bloody mothers to the community when suddenly, this guy approaches us with one of those pizza sleeves in his arms, “You’ve been chosen by the Pizza Sluts!” And from his magical pizza sleeve, he pulled the most gorgeous, fresh baked pizza with thick slices of tomato and fresh basil. Since we were in the desert, it felt like I was looking at a mirage, but alas it was a real, tangible pizza to be quickly devoured by my camp. It felt like my birthday.
The Pizza Sluts are a theme camp who use six solar ovens to bake fresh pizza on the playa (at about 250 degrees) so that randomly selected camps like mine can experience one of the true culinary joys of the world that are often difficult, if not impossible, to obtain while camping on the playa. It wasn’t my first pizza in the desert (we brought some frozen Arinell pizza from home to enjoy on our first day at Burning Man), but at this late stage of the game it felt like the only pizza I’d ever eaten in my life. Pure joy! Thank you Pizza Sluts!
