Stewart/Colbert Port-a-potties is Mission Accomplished-Count Suggest 150,000 Expected
Edited on Mon Oct-25-10 05:54 PM by RamboLiberal
Comedy Central has ordered up 508 port-a-potties for its Saturday rally on the National Mall to be led by by hosts Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, suggesting organizers expect a crowd of 150,000 people.

In securing the portable restrooms, Comedy Central has resolved one of the major logistical issues for the event, which has yet to be approved by the National Park Service. The toilets will be coming from United Site Services, a Waldorf, Md., company that said it was providing 450 standalone restrooms, 50 units for handicapped users and one trailer with at least eight stalls.

Event organizers usually figure they’ll need 1 lavatory for every 300 attendees. (Want to know more? Check out this logistics breakdown from the Portable Sanitation Association International.)

3. Those two will draw a lot more than 150k -- I'm thinking more like
an Obama-sized crowd: 500k-700k.

Obama size it!
