Welcome and updates:
Welcome to those who recently registered or joined the mailing
list. If you have any questions or concerns, please let us know.
One important note: If you sent anything into DLV and expected
a response or reply and did not get one, please resend or send
a reminder. We're in our "crunch time" period and it's very
easy to overlook things.
Ditto if you're expecting something from us, like your activity
sign-up mailing or the Large Final Mailing. If you don't get
anything you think you should be getting, please let us know
and the sooner the better!
We're now just three weeks away from the big event! Everything
is on track and activity sign-up is in full swing. Yes, we're
getting very excited about it.
Yes, there's still time to get in on DLV 2011! If you want to
attend and have not registered yet, please see the "What to do"
item below.
See everyone in April!
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Activity sign-up:
Everyone who registered prior to Wednesday, March 9, should have
received their special activity sign-up mailing.
IF YOU REGISTERED PRIOR TO LAST WEDNESDAY, MARCH 9,
AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED YOUR ACTIVITY SIGN-UP MAILING,
SOMETHING IS WRONG! WE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT IT! NOW!
Be sure to check "junk", "bulk", and "spam" folders. If you
still don't have this, write us and say so, just reply to this
mailing. We'll look into it and get things back on track for
you.
Those who registered last Wednesday or later can expect to
receive their activity sign-up mailings on Sunday the 13th.
. . . . .
Activity sign-up performs two very important functions:
1. It gives you a convenient "one stop shop" for activities
which need a sign-up or a headcount. It confirms most times,
locations, and any deadlines, cut-offs, and conditions.
2. It reconfirms your intent to attend DLV. For this reason,
activity sign-up, like registration, is not optional. We need
to see some "sign of life" at activity sign-up time. If you
definitely don't want to do any of the optional activities,
that's fine. In that case, go to the activity sign-up screen,
don't check anything but go directly to the submit button at
the bottom, and click it. Alternatively you may send us an
e-mail saying you are reconfirming but do not wish to sign
up for any optional activities.
When the Large Final Mailing is sent, it will include a summary
of the optional activities you're signed up for.
As of this mailing, the following activities are full and in
a waiting list state:
Mon Ami Gabi Dinner, Sunday
MAC Makeover Session, Monday (Thursday's has openings)
Limousine Tour, Thursday
Macy's Makeover Session 2, Friday
The two other Macy's sessions and the PF Chang's Eating Out
Night option are approaching full. Don't procrastinate!
If you wish to do any of the full activities, please sign
up and get on the waiting list. If changes and cancellations
occur, those on the waiting list move up to the confirmed
list.

What to do:
If you have not registered yet and want to attend, here's what
you need to do:
1. Read our web site carefully. Know what Diva Las Vegas is and
what it has not. Some of our recent e-mails indicate that some
of those planning to attend have some very mistaken impressions
about what DLV actually is!
2. Register for DLV. Registration is free. You register on line at:
http://www.geekbabe.com/dlv/registerdlv2011.html
If you have any difficulty with the registration process,
e-mail us. We'll help you out and get things straight.
Registration is required to participate in DLV. Despite what
misinformation still appears to be circulating, registration
is not optional.
Las Vegas locals, please register. ("But John at the bar is
a friend of mine, and he gets me my drinks for free. And he's
quick with a joke and if they still allowed smoking he'd light
it and ...") Ask John! He'll confirm that you really need to
register!
3. Make your travel and lodging arrangements. Information on
our suggested hotels appears here:
http://www.geekbabe.com/dlv/2011hotels.html
4. Sign up for optional activities. For those not registered
yet, your activity sign-up mailing will be sent within a few
days after you register.
5. Plan your wardrobe and pack your bags!
6. Prepare for a very good time!

Our Welcome Celebration:
We are very happy to report that our Monday evening welcome
festivities are back on track!
As we noted in our last general mailing, the venue which was
to host our Monday evening Welcome Meet And Greet and related
activities closed with very short notice.
Our Monday Happy Hour, Dinner, Welcome Celebration, and Group
Photo will be happening at the Artisan Hotel.
The Artisan is a very classy place! It's a smaller "boutique"
hotel with an "artist" theme, as the name implies. You can
preview the facility on line here:
http://www.theartisanhotel.com/
No, this will not be in a convention-type room. Our happenings
will be in their main bar and their full-service "Mood" restaurant,
both very elegant. Yes, dressing up a bit is encouraged!
Food service will be available for the entire evening, including
the Happy Hour period, from their full regular menu.
The management of the Artisan has assured us that we are most
welcome and that they are supportive of our lifestyle.
Big thanks go out to our volunteer force who really "hit the
ground running" this past weekend and took on the challenge!
Several possibilities were proposed, three of which appeared
to have merit, and two which were obviously better than the
original plans.
Special thanks go to Cynthia and Marisa, who met with the two
"finalist" venues and negotiated the proposals.
You can be assured that the DLV 2011 Welcome Celebration will
be an affair second to none!
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Things to come:
The last batch of activity sign-up mailings will be sent on
Monday, March 28. Those registering after Sunday, March 27
may not be able to fully participate in the DLV activities.
Activity sign-up will close Tuesday, March 29, at 11:59 CDT.
After this date/time, activity sign-ups and changes must be
made directly with the activity coordinators, in person, at
DLV.
General registration for DLV 2011 will close Wednesday, March
30 at 11:59pm Central Daylight Time. This is a hard-stop cutoff.
Other deadlines and cut-offs are noted on the activity sign-up
screen and may be noted in future mailings.
During the week prior to DLV we will be sending out our Large
Final Mailing. As the name implies, it is large, and it will
contain considerable information, not published elsewhere,
which you will need to make the most of DLV. The Large Final
Mailing will be discussed in a future general mailing.
Any questions or concerns, please let us know.
