[Scale-planning] Did you like having SCALE t-shirt pick up on the expo floor?

[David Lang]

each person keeps a tally of what they hand out, and then combine them at the 
end of the show.

this could easily be done with a phone app (big button for each size that 
vibrates the phone when pressed, small buttons to undo a count in case of error)

or you could just do hash marks on paper.
