More wacky online niches for you to exploit

You’d be surprised at what is not available on the web.
So, I’m planning this massive outdoor party for August 25 (happy birthday to me), along with a few other co-conspirators. As usual, I’m waiting to the last minute to finalize the details. And one of those details is supplies.
Let me tell you. Purchasing supplies for this party has been a strain on the old credit card. Imagine planning for 500 drunken revelers, 8 bands, a DJ, plus parking for all of them, all the while managing a staff of 6 security guards and 8 volunteers.
So, before I get off topic too much, here are the following products that I could not find either at all or for a good price online:
- Caution tape (cheaper to buy locally, and not much web presence)
- Plastic cups ($4.00 for 50 plastic cups?)
- Porta-potties (ladies don’t like to go in the woods)
- Event staff apparel (I eventually had to make event staff badges out of yellow posterboard)
- Stage lighting (prices are outrageous)
- Extension cords (again, cheaper locally but cheap is relative in this case)
I promise that it would only take a simple search-engine optimized page to rank #1 for most of these keywords. Now, get to it before I do.

I would rather go in the woods than in one of those stinky portapotties! Ick! Your birthday is two days after mine, I hope your party is terrific! Tie one on for me, as I suspect my celebrating is largely going to be the cake at work and then dinner with my family later on. Nice, but no drunken skinny-dipping for me this year. ;-)

Happy early birthday. I doubt I’ll be doing much celebrating during this event. I suspect it’ll be more like “hard physical labor” trying to keep up with everything.
