Here's an unusual "business opportunity" posted on the San Francisco Craig's List:

We are looking to hire a Bagpiper to walk the Bay to Breakers Race with us. We are travelling from Boston, Vegas, Chicago, NYC, Baghdad and other points. We have about 30 guys walking/drinking through the race in kilts and other traditional attire and we need your services if you play the bagpipes. We are willing to pay $200+. We will also buy all of the libations you can engorge yourself with on race day and most of the night before. This is a serious post and our intentions are good. We have been going to the race for many years and are now looking to add a little music to the mayhem. Please let us know if you are interested.
Must have own kilt, Experience palying bagpipe preferred
