An afternoon of hunting down the matching paper in the copy shops in Cambridge, a few dollars at Gnomon copy, a little cut and paste, and Voila! 40 tickets to Harvard's 350th ball produced for less than the price of a single ticket. Add the drinks I stole from the bar, and I must have cost Archie Epps at least...
