Hi Jason,
Another resource you may want to look at online is the Science Cafe site:
http://www.sciencecafes.org/
They have info that parallels some of your questions, and they also have an
online community devoted to the topic where many of your concerns are
represented:
http://network.sciencecafes.org/
Also, the Exploratorium re-launched their After Dark series recently. You
can find info here, as well as on Facebook:
http://www.exploratorium.edu/afterdark/
Have fun with it!
