Welcome and updates:

A big welcome to those who recently registered or joined the list!

If you're new and want to attend, please see the "What you need to
do" item toward the end of this mailing.

If you have any unanswered questions or concerns, please let us know.
. . . . .

Schedule updates:

You will notice that many items have been added to our schedule and
a few things have been shuffled around. Our schedule is still in a
state of flux, so please bear with us as we finalize things.

Our next big milestone is activity sign-up. See details below.
. . . . .

Numbers game:

As of Friday morning we have 194 individuals signed up to attend.
This includes 34 significant others. It's still too soon for any
kind of an accurate headcount projection, but all signs point to
a great turnout this year!

Activity sign-up:

We are just two weeks away from activity sign-up.

This is a very important milestone on the road to our event. Here's
how it works.

Most of our activities require no formality to attend, other than
being a registered DLV 2013 participant. All you have to do is to
show up at the designated place and time. We will be expecting you.

Some of the activities, however, do require some kind of a sign-up,
headcount, perhaps a pre-payment in some cases, or maybe some kind
of additional action required, such as a ticket purchase.

We take care of all of these at activity sign-up time.

Activity sign-up for DLV 2013 will begin toward the end of the
third full week of March, in about two weeks. At this time, you
will receive your personalized activity sign-up e-mail. Please
be expecting this and watch for it around March 22 or so.

The e-mail you will receive contain a link to your own personal
activity sign-up screen. It's on this screen where you tell us
which of the optional activities you want to do. Just fill in a
few blanks, click a few buttons, and you're on your way.

In most cases you can change your mind and change your selections
at any time before the designated deadlines.

One very important thing about activity sign-up is that if you are
registered to attend DLV and do NOT receive your activity sign-up
e-mail, SOMETHING IS WRONG AND WE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT IT!

If you don't receive your activity sign-up e-mail by Saturday,
March 23 at the very latest, be sure to let us know!
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Big Sister Volunteers needed:

As many of you are aware, DLV has long had an active Big Sister program,
designed to allow more experienced girls to help those who have been
less active in public venues. It is a valuable program, as many newer
girls will not fully enjoy the Las Vegas experience, or in some cases,
may not wish to attend without someone to act as a lifeline.

Currently, we are a bit short of volunteers to act as Big Sisters. It is
an opportunity for each of us to give back to the community, as well as
have the self satisfaction of knowing you have helped another girl have
a wonderful Las Vegas vacation, as well as bringing them further along
the road towards gender presentation independence.

If interested, please take a moment to sign up by filling out the Big
Sister volunteer form on the DLV website. You can get to this by
following the link that was sent to you just after you registered. If
you have misplaced this, please write in (just reply to this mailing)
and we will re-send to you. Someone who needs the assistance will
appreciate it, and you will likely find it to be personally very
rewarding.

What you need to do:

If you are starting out from a cold start:

First, please read our web site. Know exactly what kind of event
we are. No, we're not based on the same model that's used for most
of the other TG events. This is a major misunderstanding reported
by many new attendees. We're on the web here:

http://www.geekbabe.com/dlv/

Please pay particular attention to the Introduction, About Us, and
Frequently Asked Questions sections.

When you've decided that you want to attend DLV 2013, you will need
to register. You can register on line here:

http://www.geekbabe.com/dlv/rg2013.html

You'll then need to make your travel and lodging arrangements, if
you need those services. For those who do not have a favorite place
to stay in Las Vegas, we have three suggested hotels. Information
about these are on line here:

http://www.geekbabe.com/dlv/2013hotels.html

After you've registered and made all of your arrangements, all you
need to do is decide what to bring, pack, and show up! :)
