That's still pretty pricey. :-( T-shirts, USB sticks, even geekos and penguins, are all very pricey things and restricts our ability to give out to more people. We have to be judicious in who we give items to. And that's always a difficult decision, as sooo many people want them and you just don't want to say no. :-) If you figure about 40-50% of total attendance giveaway at any event, the costs can spiral very quickly. We should be looking for things in the $1-$2 range. That doesn't really give us many options though, I know. The trick is to find something that people will actually want, rather than cheap junk. Buttons are a nice idea, people can reuse them. Do people actually care about them? (up for discussion I guess.) Removable geeko tattoos are also a cool idea and much cheaper. But they're one-time use items. Good idea? Probably not. It's not going to be that easy to come up with some nice goodies at a cheap price. I have been researching about once or twice a week for the past 2-3 months and still have not found something overwhelming that we just gotta have it at that price! But I'm sure with all our minds put together, we'll come up with something uber-cool and well worth the costs.
