One week to go:

Unless unforeseen circumstances develop, this will be the last general
mailing prior to our DLV 2019 event.

There's still time to get in on things, but this is LAST CALL and you
need to act now. See instructions below if you want to join us next
week.
. . . . .

We are now in our "Crunch Time" and it's very important that anything
that needs to be addressed be addressed sooner rather than later.

If there's anything that's unclear, uncertain, or un-done, please bring
it up soon, as in now! :)

See specific deadlines, cut-offs, and capacity notices below.

Big thanks go out to our many volunteers who have put together a very
exciting schedule of activities this year!
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
What you need to do:

It's getting very close, but yes, there's still time to get in on our
big DLV 2019 event!

Here's a summary of the steps you need to take if you want to join us:

1. Register for the DLV 2019 event. You may register on line here:

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

MyDLV members may register using the Attendee Information Portal link on
the main MyDLV screen.
. . . . .

2. Sign up for activities. You can do this via the Attendee Information
Portal link that you receive when you register.
. . . . .

3. Make your travel and lodging arrangements.

DO NOT PROCRASTINATE!

Prices are rising and hotels are filling up!

Information about our suggested hotels for DLV 2019 is here:

http://divalas.vegas/dlv2019/2019hotels.html
. . . . .

4. Plan your wardrobe.

Specific dress suggestions for every DLV activity will appear on the
final detailed schedule.

If you have any questions on what is and is not appropriate to wear to
anything, a good place to get an answer is the DLV Discussion Forum.

A good reference, of course, are the photos from prior events, going
all the way back to 1997. You can view these here:

http://divalas.vegas/

Just click on any of the previous year tiles.
. . . . .

5. Join us and have a great time!

You can "check in" at all of the major DLV activities and many of the
smaller ones. If you have concerns or just want to know exactly how to
meet the group, phone our contact people. The numbers will be included
in the Final Attendee Information.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Early Birds:

There is a Pre-dlv costume event on Saturday evening, March 30, at
the Milleneum Fandom Bar. This is at 900 South Las Vegas Blvd, at the
intersection with Hoover. The main entrance is on Hoover, just east
of LVB.

The theme is vampire ball pre-party, but any costume or not is fine (no
fetish, but somewhat risque is ok).

They say the party starts at 9:00pm, but we have one DLVer who plans to
be there around 8:00pm.

This is a very social place and there is usually a food truck outside.

No sign-up, just show up.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Crossdressers.com update:

The Crossdressers.com Luncheon and Social will be held Thursday at 12:00
noon at Chayo At The Linq.

This is accessible from the main Linq casino (the sign is obvious) on
the south side of the casino or from the Linq Promenade directly across
from the north Flamingo exit.

Meet in the bar area at noon. Food service will be available, Mexican
cuisine is their specialty, moderate in price.

All members, former members, lurkers and prospective members (in other
words, everyone) will be welcome. If you did not sign up for this on
the Activity Sign-Up screen, you are welcome to attend as well.

Big Sister thanks:

Delaney (Big Sister Coordinator) writes:

Thanks to those who volunteered as Big Sisters this year.

We were short of volunteers throughout the process, and also had a
number of last minute requests for Big Sisters, but many of you came
through, either by volunteering anew or taking a second Little Sister.

My gratitude to all who participated.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Activity reminders and DLV Group Text:

If you would like text or email reminders for DLV 2019 activities, it's
very easy to set them up.

Just visit your Attendee Information Portal, which is the link you
received shortly after you registered, and select Communications
Options and then Set/Clear Activity Reminders.

You can specify which activities you wish to be reminded of and the lead
time (30 minutes, 1 hour, etc.) that you need.
. . . . .

We will be featuring our DLV Group Text as an option for DLV 2019 to
help keep you in touch with the group and what's going on during the
week.

This will allow you and other DLV attendees to conveniently send and
receive group text messages to and from the others in attendance who are
subscribed to the service. All that's needed is a text-capable cell
phone on a major US or Canadian carrier, and our surveys show that the
vast majority of our people have phones of this capacity.

It's all hassle-free and spam-free.

You can also send and receive DLV Group Text messages via email and
monitor DLV Group Text messages on the web.

This year you will also be able to sign up for DLV Group Text on your
activity sign-up screen.

You can also set up DLV Group Text on your Attendee Information Portal
screen, which is the link you received right after you registered. Just
select the green Communications Options and then Group Text.

In the event you ever feel that the number of messages that you are
receiving is becoming annoying, you have two new options this year:

1. Replying "suspend" (one word, nothing else) will stop all DLVText
messages to your device for the remainder of the day.

2. Replying "unsubscribe" (one word, nothing else) will stop all DLVText
messages to your device for the remainder of the DLV 2019 event.

On Saturday evening, March 30, at approximately 6:00pm PDT, a brief test
text message will be sent to all who are subscribed to the DLV Group
Text service. If you are subscribed to the DLV Group Text service and do
not receive this, please email tech@divalas.vegas or phone Annie, whose
number will appear in the Contact List in the Final Attendee
Information.

Brief daily touch-base messages will be sent to those subscribed. You
may send text messages to those subscribed to the DLV Group Text by
simply replying to any message you receive from that service.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Activity capacity status:

This is current as of Saturday morning, March 23.

The following activities are full and in a waiting list state:

Ruth's Chris dining, Tueday evening.

Waiting list instructions: Attend the preceding Happy Hour. If space is
available, you will be seated for dinner with the group.
. . . . .

Big Lift Bar Crawl, Wednesday evening.

Robin sends in this note:

There are just a few places left that we can squeeze some people in if they
want to participate in the bar crawl Wednesday night. We start boarding at
8:45 and leave promptly at 9pm from the Flamingo. Since we've now missed
the deadline for signups you'll need to email me directly at
robin.kliment@gmail.com if you're committed to attend.
