[PhillyOnRails] PETE event

["Colin A. Bartlett" <phillyonrails@colinabartlett.com>]

Good to see all those PoR folks who came out tonight. For those that  
missed the networking, beer, and food, it was a good time. Below  
you'll find the text of the flyer that I printed out and distributed  
at the event.

cheers,
Colin
