A Vancouver Island man became a festival legend after he delivered a stack of pizzas to festivalgoers attending Burning Man in Nevada's Black Rock Desert this summer.
"I had some people say I 'won Burning Man' for this, if that's even possible," Brandon Baker told CTV News.
Anything is possible at the nine-day festival, known for its boundless creativity and giant mechanical art pieces in the middle of nowhere."I was very clear on the, 'I won't be trying any substances while down there,'" he said. Baker is an engineer and a pilot, and along with a clear head he packed his pilot's licence and log book for the trip."One guy even has a plane down here," Baker recalled.
After receiving a reference letter from the Victoria Flying Club, Baker busied himself treating Burners to a bird's eye view of the festival."People love it because they get to see Burning Man from the air," he said.You don't go to Burning Man to eat and there's very few options around. But Baker had a pie in the sky idea.The ultimate party pizza run included a 35-kilometre flight to the town of Lovelock, Nev.
