A reason to go to Toronto

The Stones are rolling in for a benefit concert for SARS. Along with AC/DC, The Guess Who, Justin Timberlake, The Flaming Lips, Kathleen Edwards, The Isley Bros, Sam Roberts and Sass Jordan the Rolling Stones plan on lighting up Downsview Park Wednesday, July 30th.
As Bill G, the sender of this link, pointed out, "Kinda funny, having such a large concert for SARS....those outdoor concerts are always so very clean. No one ever coughs at them." ...wink ...wink
I also mentioned how the johnny-on-the-spot toilets are always in such pristine conditions. I remember at Ozzfest in '95 at UBC's Thunderbird Stadium how one porta-potty had a big piece of crap squashed beneath the toilet seat and at Edgefest in the same venue another sported a large sized dump in the plastic urinal. What fun!
As added fun, here's the aftermath of what happened at Downsview park on World Youth Day when the crappers exploded during the Pope's visit.

Don't forget Edgefest...the porta-potty where someone crapped in the urinal. I didn't notice until I had sat down on the toilet. I came out screaming, "someone crapped in the urinal!" and no one would use that porta-potty after that. Yeesh. Also, there's the running on the porta-potty roofs that is funny, but sometimes people get hurt!

Funny this came up. I was at an SCA event this past weekend and got totally hammered. While stumbling around in the near dark I ran head on into a porta-potty.

Several people came to my aid, helped me to a nearbye campfire and then started creating a song about my heroic, but losing battle against the biffy.
