We have another exciting event in the works for the summer. Details are still being hashed out, but we plan to have an announcement ready for you soon. In the meantime, stay tuned for details, and yes, this upcoming event will include T-shirt orders(!), but if you can’t wait and want to order something now, you can always look at our new store!
