Welcome to all who just joined the mailing list and/or the
Yahoo group. We've picked up quite a few over the past several
days. Hope all of you can join us!

First of all, no, it's not too late to get in on Pinkfest!

In fact, we have no 'cut-off' date for registration. If you
decide at the last minute to join us, or just to drop in,
you will be welcome.

The last draft of the Pinkfest schedule, the way it now sits,
which is not final at this time, is on line at:

Please look it over. Comments are welcome.
. . . . .

For those who are new, Pinkfest is not a convention or a
conference, but a sequence of autonomous activities which
are of interest to our attendees. We aren't centered around
a hotel and there's no registration fee or common pool of
funds. For the most part, activities are pay as you go.

Pinkfest has sometimes been considered to be a spinoff of
Diva Las Vegas, and it has some similarities, but it is much
smaller and has far less formality. Yes, if you attended DLV,
you're bound to see familiar faces at Pinkfest (and vice-versa
of course).

At Pinkfest there's no registration or activity sign-up and
such. So far, there's been no need for "BDR" regulations for
Pinkfest, and as long as we don't have any problems, it will
stay that way.

You "register" for Pinkfest by simply saying that you will
be attending to the list here, and answer the call for RSVPs
as appropriate. If you decide at the last minute that you
want to drop in and join us, that's fine too.

Friends, guests, and tag-alongs are welcome. As long as they
are of legal age and know how to dress and behave, bring
them along! The more the merrier! :)

Ginger (of DLV's Lunch With Ginger fame) will be our Social
Director and will handle most of the details. Ginger will be
calling for RSVPs for various activities about a week or so
prior to Pinkfest.

We don't have a dress code. Dress suggestions for the various
activities will appear on the final schedule. In general,
casual, boymode or girlmode, is suggested for most daytime
things, and it's ok to dress up a bit (or quite a bit) for
most of the evening activities. About the only thing we don't
want to see are costumes, slutty/fetish, and the like. Ask if
you have questions or concerns about dress.

Where to stay:

For Pinkfest, hotels are for sleeping and not for activities! :)

Notes on hotels appear here:

Another resource we have is our Pinkfest Big List, similar to
the DLV Big List but covering the Chicago area.

Any questions, comments, or concerns, please let us know,
just reply to this mailing.

Hope to see everyone next month! :)
