Arriving and making contact:
For those who are registered, all you need to do is to show up at one of
our activities. There's no permanent check-in desk for DLV.
You can check in at any activity marked "Check-in available" on the
final schedule in the Large Final Mailing.
If the first activity you want to attend does not have check-in
available, don't worry. As long as you appear on our roster you will be
admitted. You may just have to wait in order to check in officially and
get your name tag.
Diva Las Vegas volunteers will be on site early at all of our major
activities and standing by to greet you. If for any reason you have any
difficulty locating the group, find a phone and give us a call. Contact
numbers will appear in the Large Final Mailing.
If you have any concerns about meeting the group or checking in, please
phone any of our contact people, whose phone numbers will be listed in
the Large Final Mailing.
We're asking all first-time attendees to make every effort to attend the
New Attendee Welcome and Orientation on Monday afternoon of DLV week at
5:00pm. This will be held in the same location as our Monday Welcome
Celebration. See Large Final Mailing for exact location and directions.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Our Large Final Mailing:
On or about Wednesday, March 26, we will be sending out our Large Final
Mailing to all who are registered for DLV 2014. Please look for this,
and if you do not see it in your inbox by Thursday morning at the very
latest, please write in and let us know.
This will include, among other things, the following:
* Maps And Schedules
* Making contact, checking in, etc.
* Directions to Welcome and Farewell Celebrations
* Further details about the Farewell evening
* Contact Information - Local phone numbers
* What to do if you are feeling uneasy or uncertain
* Any late Notices - Changes - Updates
* Getting there and getting around
* Detailed instructions for local transportation (new for 2014!)
* Photography information and Guidelines
* Setting up cell phone and e-mail activity reminders
* What to do in case something is wrong
The Large Final Mailing will be different from some previous years. Most
of the material will be presented as a set of links to the content on
the web. If any of these do not work correctly or if anything is
uncertain or unclear, please write in and let us know.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Farewell Dinner details:
Additional details of our farewell evening appear on line here:
http://www.geekbabe.com/dlv/dlv2014/far ... rrecap.pdf
This is planned to be an elegant and classy affair! You can dress to
the nines if you wish! (Classy, not trashy, please. No costumes at
this activity please.) We'll have a group photo (posing is optional,
of course) to capture the moment.
We'll lead off the evening with an extended happy hour, followed by
dinner, and then that Quality Social Time that we love.
An addition to the program will be a stand-up comedy routine.
This evening will most likely be the largest assembled group of DLV 2014
people in one place. Please don't miss it!

Bare Escentuals makeover info and updates:
Kandi writes:
OK, it's getting close to crunch-time, so here are some recommendations
for anyone signed up for these Bare Escentuals/ Bare Minerals makeup
sessions.
* Please take one and only one session for yourself. This event is
essentially sold-out and there are more DLV'rs on the waiting list. When
I review the signup list again, I will ask any duplicates to choose only
one timeslot and release the duplicate. If that doesn't happen, we will
make this decision for you but we prefer you choose instead.
* This store has hired extra staff just to provide this service for us!
Please give them the professional courtesy of calling to confirm your
appt. once you are in Vegas.
* If you are running late, CALL THEM {702-369-1556} {I will arrive late
Sunday, after the first day's sessions are done, so don't call me.}
* Some of the Mall signage shows Bare Minerals instead of Bare
Escentuals. It's the same store.
* Park in the Blue section of underground parking structure. Take the
escalator up and Bare Minerals/ Escentuals is just around the stairs.
* We understand you might get lost or whatever, so put this store's
phone# into your mobile phone; 702-369-1556
* If you have more questions, CALL THEM.
* If you are still on the waiting list when this event begins, CALL THEM
and request another day (Thursday or Friday) to visit their store.
* When in doubt, yes, you guessed right, CALL THEM.
Enjoy looking Fab!

Early birds:
For those of you who will be in Las Vegas on Saturday, March 29, please
join us for an informal get-together Saturday evening at the Bar And
Bistro at the Arts Factory.
This is located on the north side of Charleston Boulevard just east of
Main Street. Parking is available to the rear of the building.
This appears on the main DLV activity map noted with the marker 10. The
link to this map will appear in the Large Final Mailing.
This is a mainstream venue, but attracts a very "artsy" clientele, and
therefore this activity and venue will be very "safe" and comfortable
for beginners.
This will be an informal gathering for drinks, socializing, and optional
dining.
THIS ACTIVITY WILL NOT APPEAR ON THE MAIN SCHEDULE.
DLV folks are expected to start arriving between 5:00pm and 6:00pm. No
sign-up, just show up. Boymode or girlmode, casual to dressy. Mainstream
dress, please, no costumes, clubwear, or slutty/fetish outfits.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Automated activity reminders:
This was something new for DLV 2013, and it's still considered to be
in "beta test" for DLV 2014.
We have methods in place to send reminders (15 minutes to two hours,
your choice) to your e-mail or text-capable cell phones for the DLV
activities you select.
You can set these up from your main registration screen. Use the link
sent to you to update your registration. You should have received this
very shortly after you registered. The button to set up activity
reminders will be toward the lower right. If you've lost or misplaced
this link, just write in and we will resend it to you.
An instructional walk-through on setting up reminders is on line
here:
http://www.geekbabe.com/dlv/dlv2013/remtut/index.html
Please give this a try and let us know how it works. Please let us know
of any difficulties or concerns you have about it.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Deadlines and cutoffs (updated):
Monday, March 24, will be the last activity sign-up mailing for DLV
2014. Those registering after Sunday, March 23 will not be able to
sign up for our optional activities.
. . . . .
Activity sign-up will close Wednesday, March 26, at 1:00am PDT. If you
are registered but have not made your activity selections by that time,
you are still welcome to join us but you may not be able to participate
in some of our activities.
. . . . .
General registration for DLV 2014 will also close on Wednesday, March
26 at 1:00am PDT.
. . . . .
On (or about) March 26, we will send out the Large Final Mailing to all
who are currently on our DLV 2014 roster. Please watch for this! Let us
know if you do not receive it.
. . . . .
Starting Thursday, March 27, we will hold all non-urgent e-mail for a
response until after our event.
THIS INCLUDES ROUTINE QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS YEAR'S EVENT!
Please use our FAQ list (www.geekbabe.com/dlv/faq/) as over 95% of the
questions we receive via e-mail are already answered, often in depth.
If you have any questions or concerns not covered, please be sure to
get them in prior to March 27.
. . . . .
Tuesday, April, noon (*SHARP*) PDT, will be deadline for payments and
for cancellation for the High Tea. This is a hard-stop cut-off. See
payment instructions on the activity sign-up screen. See Marilyn or
Danielle in person (PRIOR TO NOON TUESDAY) if you need to pay in person.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
If you are in need of a hotel room:
As of this writing, space is still available in all of our suggested
hotels (Harrah's, Tuscany, Paris) but prices have indeed gone up!
The cheapest option in the vicinity of our suggested hotels is The
Quad. You can book on line at www.caesars.com
If you are having difficulty finding a hotel room, or a room you can
afford, the best thing to do is to phone the Las Vegas Convention and
Visitors Authority at (toll free) 877-847-4858 or (local) 702-892-7575.
They will know who has rooms available, at what prices, and in many
cases can make the booking for you then and there.
