Two weeks to go:

We are now just two weeks out from the big Diva Las Vegas 2022 event!

YES, there is still time to get in on things, but you will need to act
now if you want to participate.

You can register for the event on line here:

https://divalas.vegas/cgi-bin/dlv/aip.cgi
. . . . .

Welcome to those who just registered or just joined our mailing list.
If you have any questions or concerns, please let us know. Just reply
to this mailing.
. . . . .

If you registered and have not yet signed up for optional activities,
please do so as soon as possible, as some activities (see below) are
filling up quickly.

Please also note that Activity Sign-Up is not optional if you wish to
attend our event. It also reconfirms your intent to participate. If
you do not wish to sign up for anything on the list, just go to the
very bottom and click the "Submit" button. This will stop the nagging
reminders.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Activity Sign-Up is underway:

As of Friday evening, the following optional activities are currently
full and in a waiting list state:

Virgil's BBQ dining option (Monday)
Wig Seminar and Demo (Tuesday)
Makeup Demo and Seminar (Wednesday)
Siegel Dining Option (Wednesday)
Yardhouse dining option (Friday)

Waiting lists for all of the above are currently short, and all who are
currently signed up are expected to be able to participate due to the
normal expected fall-out. Please see the Waiting List Instructions
in the "notes" field of the specific activity detail page, which is
accessible from most versions of the schedule.
. . . . .

Those of you who registered before Friday should have now received your
invitation to sign up for optional activities.

This is where you tell us which of the optional activities you want to
do.

Most activities on our schedule are "No sign-up, just show up" in
nature, meaning that all you need to do to participate is to be a
registered DLV attendee and show up at the time and place.

However, some require a sign-up, a headcount, or some kind of additional
action, and we take care of that at Activity Sign-Up time.

If you just registered or for some reason did not get your invitation to
sign up for activities, just go to your Attendee Information Portal,
which is the URL you received shortly after you registered, and click
on the green "Activity Sign-Up" button.

If you have any difficulty with Activity Sign-Up, please let us know.
Just reply to any of these mailings.

Attendee Information:

Please don't be a low-information attendee!

We realize that you most likely have quite a bit of money invested in
your trip to attend this event, and we want to be sure that you get your
money's worth!

To make the most of your trip, it's important to know what is
happening and where and when, using current and accurate information.

PRIOR TO THE EVENT:

If you are new and need to get up to speed on things, please review
the last several mailings which are archived on line here:

viewforum.php?f=4
. . . . .

Please go over the Final Attendee Information which will go out the week
before the big event.

This includes links to several versions of the final schedule.

Many of the items in the Final Attendee Information will have "If Your
Time Is Short" summary bullet points at the top.
. . . . .

Above all, if you have questions or concerns, please ask BEFORE the
event gets underway! Just reply to any of these mailings.
. . . . . . . . . . .

DURING THE EVENT:

The number one issue that was reported last year during the event was
that of inaccurate out-of-date schedules! Please use one of the versions
of the schedule that is contained in the Final Attendee Information and
not one of the working schedules published in advance, nor any schedule
that has been posted to social media.

Please be sure to have a current version of the schedule with you when
you attend, either printed out or on your mobile device.

There will be several versions of the schedule, all having the same
information but in different formats, and you can choose the version(s)
that are to your liking. These include:

* Simple Complete Schedule - Just a simple and complete schedule.

* Mobile-Friendly schedule - Optimized for mobile devices.

* Customized schedule - Select which items you want.

* Tabular Schedule - Calendar-like daily and hourly schedule.

* Full Schedule - Ugly-printed but contains everything.

It is also suggested that you please print out a hardcopy of the final
schedule prior to arriving in the event of a mobile device failure or
other technical issues.
. . . . .

You can keep in touch during the event using the DLV Group Text on your
mobile device (most US and Canadian carriers supported) or by email.

This is optional but highly encouraged.

You can subscribe to the DLV Group Text at Activity Sign-Up time or via
the Attendee Information Portal.

In the event that you find the volume of DLV text messages to be
annoying, you can suspend messages for the remainder of the day by
replying "Suspend" (one word, nothing else) to any DLV Text message.

Likewise, replying "Unsubscribe" (one word, nothing else) to any DLV
Text message will remove your phone from the group for the duration of
the event.

This year you will have the option to redact your cell phone number (or
email address) from DLV Group Text messages that you send out.

There will be a brief test message sent to all DLV Group Text
subscribers sometime on Sunday afternoon, October 23.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
If you will not be able to make it:

We are two weeks out from the big event, and by now, everyone who is
registered to attend should know for certain if they are or if they are
not going to be participating.

If you are registered and know for sure that you will not be able to
attend, please give us the courtesy of a cancellation.

You can do this via the Attendee Information Portal (the URL you
received shortly after you registered) or just reply to this mailing
saying that you will not be making it.

This lets us know not to expect you, and in some cases allow others to
move up on the waiting lists.

Thanks for your consideration.

DLV 2022 name tags:

Wearing DLV name tags at our activities is strongly encouraged but in
most cases it is optional. We do ask that you please carry your name
tag with you in case there is a need to identify you as a registered DLV
attendee.

You have a number of options this year for obtaining your name tag.

1. Print your name tag at home and bring it with you. This saves time
during the check-in process, both for you and for others. If you do
have a tag holder, please bring it with you. If you do not have a tag
holder, we will have them available at the evening activities of Sunday,
Monday, and Tuesday, and all activities marked "Name Tags Available on
the final schedules.

You can print your name tag(s) via your Attendee Information Portal by
using the green "Name Tags" button.

2. Have your name tag printed on site at DLV at most of the evening
activities on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, at the Flamingo On-Site
Check-in on Monday, or at any other activity marked "Name Tags
Available" on the final schedules.

This year, when the demand for printed name tags is expected to be high,
we will have two lines, one for those who need to check in only, and
another for those who need name tags.

Name tags may also be available at some other times and locations by
special arrangement. (Email: tech@divalas.vegas)

3. Use your name tag from a previous DLV event. "Once a valid DLV name
tag, always a valid DLV name tag."

If you have any difficulty with the on-line display and printing of name
tags, please email tech@divalas.vegas and we will help you.

Final call for Murder By Association tickets:

As of this writing there are 9 seats left for our reserved group for
Murder By Association, a Halloween Whodunit.

This is a one-time performance at 7:00pm on Thursday, October 27.

These seats are about to be released to the general public, so if you
want to attend, you will need to act now.
. . . . . . . . . .

The Weekender's Club disbanded two years ago after one of the board
members, Evelyn Drawbridge, was found dead at their last gathering.

All was quiet after Evelyn's death was deemed an accident until members
received an anonymous invitation to attend a Masquerade Halloween
Reunion Party in Evelyn's honor at Lawry's Las Vegas.

But who sent the invitation? Was it ... Ben Keetling - The Off OFF
Broadway Producer Cecily Keetlilng - The High Society Debutante Amanda
Emery - Heiress to the Emery-board Fortune Patricia "PEACHES" Mallory -
Creator of the Weekenders Club Andrew Drawbridge Manilow - Evelyn's
Brother
. . . . .

This is a one night only production, and it is expected to sell out
before our normal Activity Sign-Up begins.

The cost per person will be $130, which includes a normal Lawry's Prime
Rib dinner, with other entree options, including vegetarian. The prime
rib dinner normally goes for $55 separately, which makes the actual cost
for the show $75 per person, a bargain when compared to most currently
running Las Vegas shows!
. . . . .

To participate in this activity, please do the following:

1. Phone A Touch of Mystery & More Entertainment Group at 702-497-7936
and reserve your tickets.

2. After you have reserved your tickets, email Robin at argazza@att.net
and she will coordinate things so that you and your party will be seated
with the DLV group.
. . . . .
