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

[Danny Derakhshan]

I had the same issue for myself. I am a Medium or Large depending on the

front seems to work fine. Also, if there's a long line, maybe have one of
the volunteers walk the line showing what sizes are what with a tee or two
in hand.
