Have you shot centerfire yet? If not---shoot centerfire. Do it right, drawing from the holster and everything. Have a blast really working an actual carry/duty gun.
If you have shot centerfire before---then pick whichever one jumps into your mind first as "the most fun to try for THIS match".

Finally, I think I can make it to this one.
How late do these typically go?

Normally you'll be completely finished, with the stages all put away, by 2pm. (Possibly even earlier.)
Get your total score under 100 seconds and you'll probably be in the running for top five in centerfire. :)

I'd be down if its not "gamer" driven. Last shoot I went to (Sioux City Iowa), everybody came to play the game. Hardly anybody brought what they carry daily...a lot of long slide Glocks and holsters designed for speed. Only 2 or 3 of us actually drew from true concealment, and we got murdered on time. I would have had more fun with the 2 or 3 people that actually came to develop skills, but we were in different relays and never had much time to talk.
How many people usually show up? Any women shoot? My wife would definitely shoot if she wasn't the only woman and didn't feel intimidated.

Well it is a game. This is not SD, combat, or LEO oriented. It is a sport where you analyze the course, make a plan, and then see what happens after the timer beeps. It is strictly for fun.
I suppose an IDPA match would be slightly more oriented towards your goals. However, and this is just my opinion, those matches are just a game too, albeit with different set of rules. After all, what real defensive/offensive training would give you the course layout (walls, no shoots, targets, etc.) so you can get your plan of action put together before you begin.
So what you will find at all the ENGC matches are a lot of people of varying abilities, all having a great time and enjoying each others camaraderie.
ETA: I'm not trying to discourage you. Everyone out at these matches are friendly and very welcoming. I'm just trying to be honest about what you can realistically expect.
