Random Pizza Experience - Returns!

We'll be back this year at 3:30 and Esplanade. Stop by and start some randomness by making and randomly delivering a pizza. We'll be imbedded in the Wild ASS (Wild Animal Santuary Space) with limited signage, making finding us a bit, well, random.

What is Random Pizza Experience?

We - the members of the Random Pizza Community – personally create and deliver pizzas to those who have unconsciously “ordered” a pizza, highlighting how we’re all connected through a string of random encounters. Then, the recepient, brings the box back, makes a pizza to deliver, and continues the cycle of randomness.

See you on the playa,
Tundra Tommy aka Death

I didn't find out about random pizza camp until late saturday and unfortunately they were out of ingredients but what a great camp. They fed you and set you up to gift someone else. You guys are great thumbs up to a great idea and theme camp you people rule. BIG E

YOU ROCKED!

Our camp participated quite a bit in the RPE, made and delivered some random pizzas and had lots of pizza-bearing folks come by looking for root beer. Not a bad coincidence, a root beer saloon being around the corner from RPE and the PlayaQ, plus You Are That Pig across the street.

Well done, Burners.

I don't see a good place to put this...unfortunately I never run into the RPE but I had my first encounter with the Pizza Sluts this year. And that was some damn good pizza at the right time. I've heard about these sorts of things for years but never ran into it until this year. Damn that was good pizza.

never actually got over to rootbeer camp but i did get to watch one of your camp members blossum into a radio star I can't remember his name but what a great job the little guy did letting people know about the cold frosty rootbeer on the playa our whole staff at rfbm were stoked about the little guys broadcast. He has an open invitation to come on rfbm anytime it made my day as my little guy was at home . BIG E

I'm forwarding this on to his family, who will certainly return to the playa. This was their first burn and he's now the Crystal Kid. His name is Nick, 5 y.o., and his father is a touring piano player, so he doesn't get to see his child for weeks or months on end.

Nick went from hating the whole thing to being the Burningest Burner in our camp, drawing in dusty wanderers, charming the girls, tending the root beer saloon and frequently crippling us with laughter.

Was working in camp when I heard him explain to a crowd, "Root beer is evil, but that's what makes it so good!" I don't even know what the MEANS, but it brings tears to my eyes.

Somebody gave him a crystal and he flagged people down: "Would you like to see my crystal?" Having (temporarily) misplaced his stone, he came across some sort of juggling thingie...we had to reel him in when he started calling, "HEY! WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE MY BALLS?"

I was at our camp (Apokiliptika) when our pizza arrived - it was not only one of the most awesome gifts we could have received, but (like they said) it had *exactly* what my subconscious had ordered - complete down to the extra crispy crust! WOW!!!

You guys totally ROCKED this year, and from a lot of us, a huge Tank Ya for making our tastebuds come alive...

Thanks to all the wonderful pizza people who came by the camp and made and delivered a pizza...what an incredible year!!

What I love most about the camp is the people who come by create a pizza gift and deliver it...the project only works if people participate and give...and funny too, because normally people wouldn't go through the effort to make themselves a pizza, much less make one for someone else, and yet here are all these people making pizzas for others.

They/we made over 1,000 pizzas from wed-sun, which means 500 or so people came through the camp. By Saturday we had run out of everything except dough but the donations flowed in and re-opened for much of Sunday.

I always love to here people's random pizza experiences...did you give a pizza? did you receive one? Tell us your story....

I made a few this year. I delivered out to the machine and the hard working folks were surprised to receive a pizza. I know Dicky received a pizza or two. Other stories?

thanks for everything!
