Re: Update: YAPyC 2003 (Washington, DC)

I know there are services that do T-shirt print-on-demand. If you
want one, you order it when you register, it's in your bag when you
show up. Or even better, just let the POD company mail it to you
ahead of time, or afterwards if you register on site. For that
matter, we could do ballcaps or other such things as POD, if that's
important.

Generic plastic tote bags would seem good enough.

And why not just move to the net for proceedings? Python is so
web-based anyway. Proceedings always seemed like a throwback
artifact to me.
