[OH-Publicity] OpenHatch booth at Scale

[Shauna Gordon-McKeon]

Well, there are going to be at least three of us, so we can have more than
one person there at least some of the time.

I wonder if Karen can make us a quick SCALE-themed Sufjan.  Maybe a Sufjan
hugging/playing with this dodecahedron (

)?

Mostly I just think Sufjan makes everything better.  :)
