People keep putting cards on the bottom until they find the right color. I put all the non-card bits into a small fishing tackle box with lots of little slots - keeps them all stored, and I don't have to worry about debagging tons of them - just flip open the box, put it next to the board, and everyone just grabs what they need. I usually put the clue tokens out on the board since those are used a lot, but the rest I just keep in the box.

Another thing you can do is buy and download the Arkham Horror aps for your iPhone. They essentially have all location decks for the main game, all expansions and the outer worlds. It cuts down the number of cards you need to shuffle and put out pretty significantly.
