BBLISA is for questions and such, I don't think an advert would be welcome
since a separate list was created just for job postings.

Don't forget the ULUG and geeks.com and MIT.

Your best bet is to keep it geographicly centered as this is two weeks
before TPC where people get 5days for $1500 and if people with day jobs
had to choose one or the other as is most likely if they had to travel,
they'd probably choose TPC.

Also, I wouldn't call a class of 50 small. Sun runs a class out in
Burlington for $1500-$1900 but the class is 5 days and the enrollment is
limited to 15 people. 

I'd say that $999 for a 2-day class in a competetive market 2 weeks before
TPC and 2 weeks after YAPC in a very specific vein is going to be
challenging to fill with 50 people, Damian or not. Spend your advertising
time close to home.
