san diego welding class/BBQ, info gathering when? who? content? how many? Options

[sean_v8_914]

a while back someone suggested that I do a welding class focused on teh needs of the 914 community. I did a post like this one and the interest seemed weak so I put it on teh back burner. since then ,several members have sent PMs and emails asking when or if I was still going to do it.

I want your input about what ya'll want to see and learn. I think it could be done in a 2 day format ALA Dr Evil trans clinic (although i'm less entertaining)

who is interested?
what specific content would you like to see?
when would work for teh most peeps?
we will need more than my 2 welding machines.

beer, no beer?
catered or cook our own
hire twistedone to cook for us
plasma cutting?
MIG only?
gas or flux?
chicken or beef?
