Portable Studio Background Ideas

I am looking for a portable studio background for multiple uses(Photo Booth, photoshoots, etc).
I really like the HiLite Box, but Im not sure if I want to invest $500 into that instead of more glass.
Can anyone recommend any other ideas or products?

I'm in the same boat as you at the moment. A quick search brings up:

http://www.diyphotogra​phy.net …n-location-product-review

This is probably the same backdrop I was looking at a couple months ago. Something not too large and cumbersome that I can set up real quick. Grab some shots while waiting for better light on location or what have you...About $70 on B&H.

There's also http://www.joeyl.com/b​log/2010/11/

Probably about $30 for a sheet of foam core. And lots of tape.
Now this I may lift straight from Joey himself. The people here in my town would probably sooner try to get me arrested if I tried this any other time of the year. But Halloween? I'm sure everyone would like a snap of the costumes they worked or paid for.
But for ultimate cheapness? I'm gonna try to convince my store manager(Target) if they'll let me take home a big board from any old signing sets. The back of these things are already white. Just spray paint the ad campaign side black and I'm good (photographically and legally).

Thanks
That first link looks like a good option, but I would prefer something that would reduce shadows like the hi-lite.
I will eventually get it, but would definitely like to have something to use in the mean time.
Any other suggestions?
