As a student at the University of Texas, we were once operating the ARRL
November Sweepstakes and successfully got a pizza delivery guy to bring us 
pizza at the shack.  The directions were something like: "it's the building 
at the northeast corner of the intersection, but there's two buildings 
at that corner and you want the easternmost one.  You need to take the 
elevator up to the top floor, that's level four, and then take the 
roof access stairs at the eastern end of the building up to the roof.  
We're in the penthouse on the other end of the roof - the one with a 
radio tower next to it.  Just follow the boardwalk, but mind the loose
boards."  That only worked once :-)
