What type of characters were you thinking of using for your regular homegame, and what type of character were you thinking of having for Pathfinder Society?
Did you want to stick to the Core Rule Book only, or do you have access to other Pathfinder material, like Ultimate Magic or the Advanced Players Guide?

[Gentlemen]

in about a week or 2 ill be getting the print out version for ultimate combat and advanced books

I'm going to try to stop in tomorrow night for the PF game, I was wondering if there's a dearth of one type of class or another in the regular group? I know "play what you want" but I don't want to be the sixth wizard or something.

Also, apparently the module for tomorrow is for 5th level characters, should I make a 5th level character? Not really sure how that works.

The most consistent players are currently using a Sorcerer focused on summon monster spells, an archer wizard, a cleric with wolf companion and a dervish dance bard. We can go over character selection Friday night.

We will be missing a few of the regulars, so I'm not 100% sure how many players will be there Friday night. We should have enough for a table, but may not have enough for The Dawn of the Scarlet Sun module, which will also be offering on Free RPG day (Saturday 6/16/12). Scarlet Sun was written with 6 players in mind with at least one very challenging fight, so if we only have 3 or 4 it wouldn't be a good idea to try.

If we run the module you can use a level 5 pregen included in the module, but if we end up running something else you will need to make a PFS legal level 1 character.
