I'd be down to swing by and help out anyone.

I can bring my brake bleeding equipment, and other tools.

As well as:
ATE SB ( Have a 2x 1 litter cans, enough for 2 flushes) - Also have more than 1/2 a quart left over from less than 1 month ago. You can use if if you want. But I wouldnt...
and Motul RBF600 (Have 2x 1 quarts, easily enough for full flush)
Special Grease for backing of pad liner.

You can get OEM brake pads and other maintenance stuff at this site (there are other sites, too):

http://www.handa-accessories.com/s2000-04maint.html

My S doesn't need new pads right now but my Accord will need new ones in a few months, so I just want to watch someone change pads and get a general idea of what the procedure is and what tools I might need.

Maybe the ebchu can PM DougS2K and set up a time to meet at his place, then post the time and anyone who can make it can PM Doug for directions. Sunday mornings and afternoons work great for me.

As for pizza, I could snag a Costco pizza to fuel our adventures.

That requires an air compressor for our cars right?
