Leah, what a truly creative idea! I must say at a recent show I experience not only dog poop - but chicken wings (probably gone off) being left behind in the car park of the hotel we were staying in. It wasn't my dogs poop or my chicken wings but I did the 'pick up' heaving all the way to the dust bin - I just felt so guilty that visitors could do this, maybe losing us the venue. So it happens the world over - but your idea is something else - don't be surprised if I pinch it at the next show we run at ECCKCSS!!
