Hey, listeners!
Due to unforeseen circumstances, I regret to let you all know that the t-shirt orders are cancelled (for now). We figure it’s for the best during these hard times to cancel the order, because we need to prioritize ourselves and our communities and reduce one potential means of catching COVID-19. We’re disappointed, but we plan to relaunch them whenever University of Iowa classes are back in session for ease of distribution. All purchasers will be fully refunded within one to two business days.
If anyone has any questions or anyone who purchased the shirts has any issues with repayment from Custom Ink, please contact me via my email, [email protected] and we’ll make sure everything’s fine and getting taken care of.
Thank you all, and please stay safe!
With this comes genius through Låpsley’s “Through Water” release!
