Hey All,
I'm trying to get a group together to play some Paizo modules (eventually try to do an AP, if all goes well) on a fairly regular basis.

Where/when?
I have 2 young children, so games would start after their bedtime (~6:45pm). Fridays would be best, but open to suggestions. Location is TBD. I'd like to find an equidistant point for all group members, but a public spot in Wyomissing/ Sinking Spring would be the starting point.

Type of players/play style?
This hobby necessitates a sense of humor about the material and oneself, but shouldn't devolve into constant Monty Python/ Dead Alewives quotes. If you can play a ridiculously named character, but deadpan a diplomacy check, we should all be fine.
I shoot for 50/50 mix of roleplay and combat, but often fail in spectacular ways. This game is collaborative storytelling, so group composition will be the better guide. Same goes for rules adhesion/lawyering.

*Not that the game should be "adult," nor anything against you spry future leaders of the world, but as a metric for maturity, players should be adults (18 y/o or older).

Experience?
GM'd Pathfinder for a year or two with lower level players (mostly newbies, never got past level 6). Played TTRPGs off and on for 13+ years now, but slowed down when I moved out here two years ago.
Players of all experience welcome. I can help the less experienced, the more experienced can teach the rest of us.

Questions? Comments? Happy to talk with you!

Two suggestions,

1) If you can, talk with your GM about what you want to make. She/he can help guide you to specifics within the world and group. If not, don't worry. I've had good experiences as both a new player and a GM of new players when we could talk before the first session.

2) If you're considering a monk and a gunslinger, try a Zen Archer. Its a (regular/chained) monk archetype that is very straightforward, but still has room for customization. It's a little slow at first, but is very good in combat, and has good roleplay flavor.
