Re: [PLUG] [plug-announce] PLUG Social Gathering and Lightning Talks - Fri Mar 26, 2010 (Bridgeport, PA)

I don't think the times are all that different.  Of course, wait time to transfer from the El to the 100 would make a difference, and late at night the wait time will increase a little bit. 

These times are all to Norristown.  Bridgeport will take a minute or off I guess (for the 100).
