3 Ways Porta-Potties Make Tailgating Better

Porta-pottiesTailgating is as American as football itself. Does anyone just show up for the game? No way. You get there about 3 hours ahead of time, set up shop and get to grillin’. This is the cornerstone of tailgating… grilling and hanging out with friends. The point is to relax and have some fun with your friends before kickoff. But your fun can be curtailed quickly if you can’t find a bathroom. Or, worse yet, you found it but it’s out of commission. 

If you’re the guy who maintains the parking area where tailgating goes on, it’s your job to make sure that adequate facilities are provided for the fans. Even if there are stationary bathrooms available, it’s better to think bigger on this issue than run the risk of being caught with your pants down. The answer? Porta potties… lots. Happy people mean better tailgating and one of the best ways to ensure that people are having a good time is taking care of the restroom situation. Here are three reasons why.

This is one of our favorite interactive items for an event in the entire world, and they are called the Zygote Interactive Balls.

Zygote is a large, lightweight, helium filled, inflatable ball that responds to motion through human touch. Tap it, bounce or punch it and the Zygote Ball reacts by changing colour as it floats through the air.

Zygotes are perfect for concerts, promotions or any event with a large energetic crowd. They transform the space into a multi-dimensional, interactive playground, and create a shared experience.

More complex interaction is also possible. In real time, the crowd can affect music, and video or graphics shown on venue screens by simply interacting with Zygotes. The balls can also be preset to show specific patterns of coloured light. A ‘live light mix’ at the venue using wireless control is also possible.

Whatever the option, Zygotes are capable of generating an almost infinite number of colour combinations.

Hire Space: it’s AirBnB for Event Venues

Gym Event Venue

Collaborative consumption is an idea that has exploded since it was first covered by Time Magazine as one of their ‘10 ideas to save the world’ back in 2011. The idea is at the core of the hugely popular AirBnB, and now forms a central aspect of fast-growing start-up, Hire Space (www.hirespace.com). Collaborative Consumption asks individuals to share their own possessions, partly through a desire to be part of a sharing community, but more critically due to a need to get more, financially, out of their possessions. Someone who owns a home no longer needs to leave their largest resource standing empty when they go on holiday, instead they can earn an income and be part of Airbnb’s dynamic community. Hire Space works on the same idea, but for communal spaces and small businesses; giving organisations the chance to gain economically from their underused office spaces, sports facilities, recording studios, or even roof terraces.
