LaTeX dOnnOr invitations

Here's a totally geeky little aside.   Mathematicians often use a typesetting language called "LaTeX" to help us typeset our papers so that we can write all those complicated formulas and draw all those graphs.

I spent a happy afternoon futzing around with LaTeX and Tikz code to come up with some invitations for our upcoming dOnnOr, and I thought other TeXXies might appreciate grabbing this code for themselves.

The invitations, when printed out (on pre-cycled paper, in my case!) and then cut around the lines, look like this:


Unfolded, printed out flat, they look like this:

Note the rotated text!  Cooly-oh!

And here's the code (I replaced my own phone number with the first 10 digits of "e"):

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage[margin=0.25in]{geometry} 
\geometry{letterpaper} 
\geometry{landscape}   
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{pgf,tikz}
\usepackage{mathrsfs}
\usetikzlibrary{arrows}
\usepackage{rotating}

\newcommand\OO{$\circledcirc$}
