I saw a neat writeup on Portapotties on metafilter, and apparently if you go through the company you can find all the Portapotties on GPS and find where they are on your iPhone or something. Though you might want to read quickly through the part that says they have not ordered nearly enough.

How could there ever be enough facilities for that many people? It's gonna be a mad-house. The gouging has already begun. People around the district, and even here in Baltimore, are trying to rent out their homes, condos and apartments for ridiculous prices. Trent Lott is asking about $30,000 to stay at his Capitol Hill condo for the weekend. The Maryland transportation authority is even getting in on it by more than doubling the price of a train ticket to D.C.
