They are playing in Chicago 11/17 at the House of Blues. That looks like the closest venue to where you live Eric.

Addie and I have been doing a weekly gamenight for over 3 years now. How many people do you usually have? I can recommend some games that have turned out to be our favourites. “The Great Dalmuti” is always a big hit.

Nice work! It is actually quite an easy problem: if you let

c[n] = 1 / A[n]

the given equation becomes

c[n+1] = c[n] + n for n = 0, 1, …

so c[2008] = c[0] + (1 + 2 + … + 2007).

Now, since (every freshman knows that)

1 + 2 + … + n = n (n + 1) / 2

we have

A[2008] = 1 / ( 1 / A + 2007 * 2008/2 ).

Comment on testing: blockquotes by erb

I noted that while these look fine (double-quoted, both topleft and bottomright) in Mac OS-X Safari — not so good in Firefox. The top left “open” quote is not appearing, and it appears this is due to breaking the XHTML rules a bit… Oh well!

Oh! I am Remiss! I should have left some pointers to sites I found Most Useful and Helpful (not to mention where I blatantly ripped off code). Simple Double Quotes, from WebDesignerWall. This was the basis for my alt2 (both small and large). Nice site. I need to go back and look over the rest of this site later. How to have a stylish blockquote as in Magazines?, from WordPress Rocks!. This was where I got magazinequote (I only changed the colors and width, and tweaked my padding). The quote annotations ("Anon" above) are common/generic, and I just tweaked all the variants to work — taking advantage of em relative sizing instead of absolutes.
