All right all you JB crazy people this crazy JB freak needs an awesome portable battery powered blender for the Chicago show? Hook me up! What is the best bang for our buck? Thanks.

Battery powered? Hmmm...I saw one at a show a few weeks ago that was powered by a weed-wacker. Of course, I was drunk

...but I'm pretty sure it was a weed-wacker.

You can get a power inverter that plugs into your car cig lighter for around $20-$40 and just plug your home blender into that. It's a lot cheaper, especially if you're thinking about buying the "portable blender" from margaritaville.com.

I thought the same thing, the surge of the blender is too much for the converter. Blew every fuse that someone let me try.

Try these:

And my favorite if for nothing more than the handlebars...

Ya, that's what we do! It works very well...although make sure you have buy a power inverter with enough voltage to run the blender you have or it could blow a fuse!

I did find a little tiny blender at Walmart..it's a hamilton beach...and it works VERY well. The top part becomes a "to go" cup. It's pretty nifty

Maybe she can tell ya.

I don't know about a blender, but, if you head to

www.labattblue.com/

you can get a ATV-Remote control cooler (is that not the coolest thing in the world!)

plus - a beer dispensing chair (AS SEEN ON TV)

If you don't mind used, I saw a nice one on eBay. Black & Decker Partymate.

And there's always The Tailgator gas-powered blender!

Make sure that the inverter is powerful enough to handle a blender, though. This year at Alpine, I ran a TV and DVD player in the parking lot showing Jimmy videos. THe same inverter can't handle a blender.

I bought one at Target last year...it was in their camping section. Cost less than $20....I can't recall the mnfr, though.

The thing works like a champ...plugs right into to the cigarette lighter and makes a killer margarita.

I bought the same one, and love it. It works wonderfully - better actually than the one I have at home. A quick search on Target.com didn't show it, though - maybe they don't carry it anymore

I'm fairly sure most of the merchandise Target carries isn't on their website.
