Also, I wouldn't go to a local homebrew shop unless you're really going to pick their brains (which you won't need to if you go to the link I posted) since their prices are usually higher than any of the online places. I prefer www.austinhomebrew.com for my supplies.

Stay away from Mr. Beer stuff. None of that equipment will transfer over. By a turkey fryer kit with the 7.5 gallon pot included. Clean and sanitize everything. Start with a partial mash kit for a pale ale or a Dos Equis Amber clone if that's more your style and eventually work your way up to all grain. You can make your own mash tun/lauter tun fairly easily. Really, just go to the above link and read everything. Everything.
