DUers! I had to share this - Ian's Pizza on State - Facebook page, WI Pizza Ground Zero

[calimary]

I posted in a previous thread by Joanne98 about this local pizza place which is getting all the take-out orders for the protesters from practically every state and around the world quite literally. Joanne's original thread:

Forgive my being repetitious, but I couldn't help sharing this further. I read through the Facebook page and just wound up feeling so good, so encouraged, so energized. Sorta restored my faith! And I've needed it because I've been feeling a little depressed and cynical about the state of America these days. Anyway, check it out and savor!

It will make you feel good about your country!

Thoroughly enjoying all the comments, and the photo they posted of their blackboard - and ALL the countries phoning in pizza orders: Korean, Finland, New Zealand, Denmark, Australia, US, Canada, Germany, China, England, Netherlands, Turkey, Switzerland, Italy! And somebody posted that they were ordering for friends in Casablanca, Morocco. Others are asking how they can just donate to the place via Paypal, to do something for the employees at Ian's Pizza - who must be severely overwhelmed by now.

Some guy posted:
Hate to repost but I want you guys to think about it.
PAYPAL will let us throw money at you. I don't want to order a pizza, I want to give you money and let you do what you can with it. I hope that after everythings over, you come out big time with cash. I also want to give donations to your staff. Hourly is not enough when you are working your fingers to the bone. The people you are supporting know this all too well.

Also this post (presumably from Ian's):
Thanks to Governor Walker's Efforts, despite these down economic times, Ian's Pizza will soon be hiring!
Good job, Walker, for helping to eliminate unemployment!


REALLY gratifying to read through this page! If I weren't already on Facebook, this'd get me there for sure.

6. Great! People were wondering where Egypt was.

The photo I found was probably not current.

I am just having the Best Facebook Day! And I have to be on it anyway - I'm managing my kid's band and Facebook is a big part of that.

11. Might've been me.

I believe I am at 48, now.

My GF's gonna kill me when she finds out, as I have taken the money from our Travel fund.

14. I think it was you, Sonoman! I thought that slice tasted like Bermuda...

:yourock:

Thanks for all you're doing. Don't get in trouble with the squeeze, though.

3. Kick!

Several inquiries about why Egypt isn't listed on their blackboard (can't find an answer to that one as of this writing) AND somebody cracked a joke somewhere about how they'd hijacked glenn beck's blackboard!

Also, some other very useful little nuggets:

To supply protesters with WATER contact (Capitol Center Foods at 608-255-2616). To supply protesters with FOOD contact (Burrito Drive at 608-260-8586, Silver Mine Subs at 608-286-1000, Ian's Pizza at 608-257-9248, Pizza Di Roma at 608-268-0900, or Asian Kitchen at 608-255-0571


I would be remiss if I didn't also put Glass Nickel Pizza out there in addition the others listed above: [phone]
You will be a huge hero if you order Fetalicious


And from somebody else:

12. Thanks for the H2O info - and other food places. Egypt is on the

board, right after Finland - or am I not understanding the statement?

:hi:

[ClassWarrior]

15. Mary hadn't seen the later version of the tote board pic, now in post #4.

:hi: gateley...

NGU.

7. Who is Kathrina Zippel? n/t

[calimary]

8. Not sure.

[calimary]

9. Oh hecko - kick!

[gateley]

13. Do we have at least one DUer from the States that aren't

circled that can contribute a pie? I'd love to see all 50 kicking in. But maybe by now, they have. :shrug:

[Justpat]

16. All states have now contributed a pizza. n/t

[XOKCowboy]

17. Updated Board!

Just gets better and better.
