I am doing a basic Pd workshop in the Boston area on August 1st at Axiom Gallery.  I will be covering simple patching, audio and GEM.  The optional first hour will be dedicated to setting up the participant's laptops with Pd and getting audio and MIDI working.  Space is limited to 12 and you must register online.

I hope to do a more advanced video/GEM workshop in the coming months as well.
