I just sent some pizza to our brave friends in Madison. Please join me!

[QC]

Just call Ian's at 608-257-9248. Then press 1. You might be on hold for a bit, but soon enough a nice person will come on and take your order. You can give in $20 increments, in addition to a gratuity for the delivery people, if you like.

It's easy to do and it feels good. So just do it, if you can. You know you want to.

(If you would rather order online, you can do that, too. The instructions are here --> http://www.ianspizza.com/ )

1. I couldn't even get through. I'll try again. n/t

[QC]

7. It took me a couple of tries, plus some time on hold.

They are really getting slammed!

[myrna minx]

19. I *finally* got through.

:bounce:

[QC]

30. Persistence is a good thing! n/t

[nadinbrzezinski]

2. I did this morning

remember to tip well too

[QC]

4. Didn't it feel good?

I fear that we will soon be facing the same troubles in Florida, with our own bugeyed crazy governor.

[Sonoman]

10. Good? Heck, it feels great.

I have now placed nine orders for a total of 43 pizzas.

Tip well, the students need the cash.

17. Mu food out budget will be referred to something else

I fear

[calimary]

3. And if you can't get through to send pizza...

Also, on Facebook, 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

[Danger Mouse]

5. Kicked and recommended.

[CrispyQ]

6. On hold right now...

A snip from their site:

It takes a leap of faith to call a place you've never heard of, order a pizza that you'll never see, and just hope that those people on the other end of the phone do what they say they will. It's now 9am on Sunday, February 20th, and at last count we had sold over 430 of our signature 20" mac n' cheese pizzas to callers worldwide, and have at least 60 still waiting to be made so we could help feed what has turned into a city within a city.

:applause:

on edit: I heard exuberant yelling in the background. Very nice person on the phone. Gave $30 & told him to make sure to tip the pizza team. He said that this has restored his faith in humanity. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

11. oh they will...

Ian's is AWESOME!!

(and so is Glass Nickel mentioned above.)

I love Madison (even when it's cold)!

[liberal N proud]

8. This is so cool - It lets everyone help the protesters and send them a little sign

A sign that we all back them.

[Sonoman]

9. Tip well, I have placed nine orders

Nine orders for a total of 48 pizzas.

Those college kids at Ian's are great, so tip well. They share the pool.

Doesn't it feel good?

12. Thanks for posting!

I will place an order on Tuesday.

[QC]

29. You're more than welcome.

Thanks for helping these brave brothers and sisters.

[CTyankee]

13. Did this Sunday with a generous tip. Happy to do so!

[Starry Messenger]

14. k&r

Broke right now after holiday vehicle repair, but I'm reccing all of these. Thank you QC!

[Poboy]

15. recommend

[AsahinaKimi]

16. Lawrence O'Donnell just mentioned Ian's on MSNBC

Probably will bring more people calling, hopefully!

[Darth_Kitten]

18. Do they take paypal?

:(

[RandomThoughts]

20. I would guess there are agencies that could reroute pay pal donations.

My Paypal account has never shown any deposits, I figure if someone sent money to that account it would be sent to someone else like the banks do when they go after someone.

Someone will have to directly mail or deliver the beer and travel money that is due to me.

Thats ok though, just spreads the debt to even more people, as they steal.

I don't do strings however.

[Lisa0825]

22. Last I read, they were not takin paypal.

Thank you all so much for visiting!

If you are here to learn how help feed the protesters in Madison, here's how you can do that:

Call us at 608-257-9248, then press 1. As we have just three phone lines it may take a while to get through, and we apologize in advance for that.

For online ordering we have partnered with both badgerbites.com and campusfood.com to process our online orders. If you would like to order online, please put 115 State Street as the delivery address, and add in the notes that you would like to help feed the protesters.

While we thought about it, we will not be setting up a Paypal account, even though we realize that would make it easier. Please understand it's not because we don't want to help you out; we really just don't want to over-promise & under-deliver.

It's important to us as a business and as individuals that if we say we are taking your hard-earned money to help feed supporters, that we will make sure that happens. By taking phone calls and online orders only we can ensure that the money you spend with us does indeed get made into pizza that goes to the capital.

We truly appreciate all the enthusiasm, and know that many of you want to help feed the protesters, but we are also just one small business. Believe us when we say we are not really accustomed to getting pizza orders from the entire country (let alone internationally!)

Thank you for your understanding!

21. Just Out Of Curiosity - Might The Protesters Be Getting Tired Of Eating Pizza?.....

Can we send buckets of fried chicken? How about coffee and donuts for breakfast?

I'm just saying these protesters should get something more than just pizza.

[QC]

23. You can contribute water and other types of food to them.

That info is, I think, posted elsewhere in this thread.

24. They are closing orders at 9pm Central time tonight.

From their FB page:

Ian's Pizza on State
Due to the large number of pizzas ordered and the dwindling numbers at the Capitol we will be closing the phone lines tonight at 9:00 pm CST. We will reopen the lines tomorrow at 9:00 am! A big thank you goes out from the Ian’s Staff for all the calls coming in from around the world, this has been an amazing experience! We are proud people have chosen us as a way of supporting the democratic process in Wisconsin.

[QC]

27. There's always tomorrow!

Awesome! I sent pizzas too!
What a great feeling...
There should be something like this for more protests to come for whatever reason.
It's like being there in spirit....

I hear (on my *local* news!) that protests are spreading to other state capitals. If anyone hears of a way to help out elsewhere, please post!
