<div>Hey everyone, if you want to get a cool PyOhio T-Shirt this year ( <a href="http://t.co/k3OZ5UNo">http://t.co/k3OZ5UNo</a> ), you need to register for PyOhio by July 5th. We didn't get a T-Shirt sponsor this year, so we're asking folks to donate $20.00 for a shirt if you want one. To guarantee we'll have one for you in your size, you need to register by midnight EDT on July 5th—and check the box that says you want a shirt.</div>
