I just got back from Gen Con, where I ran several of the opening sessions for the Pathfinder Society organized play organization for Paizo Publishing. The events went extremely well, and pretty soon they will be rolling out the specifics on running games at other events and game stores and the like. I would really like to run Pathfinder events in the area at Armored Gopher Games, but I'm curious to see how much interest there is in this.
For anyone not familiar with organized play programs, essentially you play the same character at every event you go to, and if you to do larger venues, like Gen Con, you can bring your own personalized character with you along with everything you have picked up along the way, to play with other members of the organized play program.
This year is season 0 for the Pathfinder Society, and each year at Gen Con will start a new season. Characters can go up to 12th level before they are no longer part of the standard play environment (they can still be used in some special events after that point), and characters gain levels after playing in three sessions. Season 0 of the Society uses the 3.5 rules for D&D as its base, and will be switching to the Pathfinder RPG rules for Season 1 (the Pathfinder RPG is being designed as backwards compatible).
At any rate, I don't have an official schedule yet, but I was interested in seeing if anyone is interested in participating in this. Most likely I will be running Pathfinder Society events on the alternating Thursdays when my regular gaming group is not meeting.
You can find more information about the Pathfinder Society here:

Events require a minimum of 4 players and the GM, and the tables generally max out at 6 players and a GM per session.
Alternatively, if anyone is in the Bloomington area and already has a "full set" of players and need a DM, depending on the night and time I may be able to GM for them.
Thanks for your time.
