Wheel building/101 clinic (feeler)

So with the multitude of wheels I've built recently, there seems to be a lot of interest in people learning how to build wheels. So I am considering doing a clinic on it, but if it's only a few people who are actually interested in attending I can teach those people individually. So what I would really like to see is like 20+ who would want me to hold a free clinic on how to professionally build wheels.

Here is what I would cover in the clinic:
-Mechanics of a wheel
-- Rims 101
-- Hubs 101
-- Spokes 101

-How to choose a rim/hub based on your riding style
-How you can build a custom wheelset without the custom pricetag
-The tools associated with wheelbuilding
-Assembly of the wheel from the ground up, (using 3cross pattern, but I'll talk about  2cross, and radial)
-Truing, tensioning, dishing, and rounding the wheel

This would be a 2-3 hour clinic, more than likely in the evening, and there MIGHT be beer.

Who is down?

You have to wear a lime green tutu and jump in a vat of jello.

Sounds good to me.  The clinic, not the jello.
