Beginner's Workshop in Spokane - planning

As discussed at one or more of the last Spokane Drupal Group meetings, I've been thinking of putting on a Drupal Site Building for Beginners workshop.

Ideas:
- Use Drupal 7 (even though it might not be fully ready for complex sites, it seems like it would be lame to use Drupal 6 at this point)
- Topics: Installation, Blocks, Menus, Content types/fields, Views, Webforms, and maybe some other basics
- I have a curriculum I used for past similar workshops (Drupal 6) at http://poplarclass.com -- have used it twice myself, and others have used it too, works out fairly well. I would need to update it for Drupal 7.
- In the past I've taught it as a single all-day workshop, but students get a bit overwhelmed, so I think maybe 3 evenings would be better.
- I think it is good to charge a little bit for the workshop -- the two times we did it in Seattle, the time we charged, people actually showed up, which was a plus (when we didn't charge, only about half showed up, in spite of numerous reminders and requests to tell us if they couldn't make it so we could open up slots for other people).
- We would need about 2-3 volunteers at each session to help people work through difficulties, besides the person leading the workshop (which I would propose to do -- have done it quite a bit before).

Proposed dates:
Mondays: Sept 19, Sept 26, Oct 3
6:30 - 9 pm

Proposed location:
- option 1: Spokane Valley branch of Spokane County library - attendees would supply laptop and use wifi, we would need to supply a projector though. Could get room for free if we didn't charge more than $5 for the workshop; $50 per evening if we charged for the workshop.
- option 2: Moran Prairie (south hill) branch of Spokane County Library - attendees would supply laptop and use wifi, they have a projector, but it's kind of a ways out there (about 10-15 minutes from I-90). Same charge as option 1.
- option 3: Workforce Training center on W. end of Post Falls (near defunct outlet mall) - has computer lab with 16 workstations. Rental charge would be about $500 total.

My preference would be:
- option 1, except we would need a projector
- shoot for 15-20 attendees
- charge $10/person

Any thoughts?
a) Do those dates work out for people here who could help out? I would need a commitment from 2-3 people per evening (doesn't have to be the same people each date).
b) Does anyone have a computer projector (windows/linux -- NOT mac) that we could use for all three nights?
c) Any other comments?
