New IONiC VIPEr shirts
Submitted by Chip Nataro, Lafayette CollegeHave you even seen people wearing one of the cool IONiC VIPEr Organometallica shirts and said, wow, I really wish I had one of those? Now is your chance. To cellebrate this awesome community and how we were able to get through this past semester we have designed new shirts. This is a group order through Custom Ink so you can place your order, pay for it and get it shipped directly to you. The price depends on the number of orders, so hopefully it will come down even more. Time is limited, the order closes on May 31st, so order now.
