Ladies and Gentlemen:

PyTexas 2013 <http://pytexas.org/2013/> is under way and begins in *less
than 2 weeks*. Our chairs are doing a wonderful job making this a memorable
event! We have a fantastic event in store with meaty talks, t-shirts,
stickers, prizes and wonderful sponsors including *Rackspace, MapMyFitness,
HBK, Stormpulse, zOmega, Tendenci and more*.

We are looking forward to our talk submissions and the schedule being
posted. Don’t forget, the deadline to submit a talk is TODAY Sunday, August
4, 2013 <http://pytexas.org/2013/talks/add/>. We had some great speakers
