Welcome:
We've had many registrations and list joins since our last mailing.
Welcome!
If you have any questions or concerns, please let us know. We are
looking forward to seeing you in person next month.
If you are new to this mailing list, please take a few minutes and
review the recent mailings to get up to speed on things. The recent
mailings are archived on line here:
viewforum.php?f=4
. . . . . . . . . .
To all, one thing that is VERY important, as we enter our "crunch time"
prior to the big event, is that any issues or concerns you may have need
to be addressed sooner rather than later!
For the absolute quickest answer to most questions that you may have,
please use our list of Frequently Asked Questions on the web here:
http://www.geekbabe.com/dlv/faq/
Over 90% of the questions we receive via e-mail are already answered,
often in depth, at the above URL.
Many of the questions that have been coming in lately are on the line
of "when?", "where?", and "how do I?" and such.
The final schedule, which will be sent to all registered DLV attendees,
will have all of the "where" and "when" items. Most of the "how do I"
items are covered in the FAQ or in the Discussion Forum.
If you have a question not addressed in the FAQ, the quickest answer
will usually be obtained by posting your question on the Diva Las Vegas
Discussion Forum, which is on line here:
viewforum.php?f=2
Many highlights of our up and coming activities appear at the above URL
as well.
. . . . . . . . . .
As of Friday evening we have 155 signed up to attend. We're on track for
a total turnout about the same or slightly larger than in recent years,
in the 160-170-ish range. We'll be able to make some more accurate
headcount projections once we get into activity sign-up.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
What you will need to do:
A very good summary of the steps you need to take to participate in
our event appears on line here:
http://www.geekbabe.com/dlv/roadmap.html
Many of you have already ventured upon this road. Here are some notes
on what you will need to do under various circumstances.
. . . . .
If you have not registered for Diva Las Vegas:
Everyone who wants to participate in Diva Las Vegas will need to
register. This includes previous attendees, volunteers, well-known
persons in the TG community, and Las Vegas locals. Sorry, we will not
be admitting unannounced "walk ins" to our event.
Registration is quick, easy, and free. You can register on line here:
http://www.geekbabe.com/dlv/dlvreg2014.html
Both new and previous attendees may use the above link. Those who
received express re-registration links via e-mail may use those. MyDLV
members may register by using the button on the main MyDLV page.
Please let us know if you have any questions, concerns, or issues
regarding registration.
. . . . .
If you have not made your lodging arrangements:
This year it is extremely important that you do not procrastinate
on making your hotel reservations. Hotels are filling up and rates
are on the rise.
A good (actually bad for us) example is that rates at Harrah's, which is
one of our suggested hotels, have recently risen to very high levels!
Rates are still very reasonable at The Quad, next door to Harrah's.
Info on our suggested hotels appears here:
http://www.geekbabe.com/dlv/2014hotels.html
Due to the price increase at Harrah's, you will find that Paris, which
is our high-end suggestion this year, is actually lower in cost (and
much nicer) than Harrah's.
Information on many other Las Vegas area hotels, including guest ratings
and comments, many of which discuss the comfort of TGs, can be obtained
here:
http://www.geekbabe.com/dlv/vendors/#CasinoHotel
. . . . .
If you are feeling apprehensive or unsure about participating:
See the information on our Big Sister (and Big Brother) program below.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Things to come:
Our next big milestone will be activity sign-up which will start in
early March.
If you are registered for DLV, you will receive your personal activity
sign-up URL in e-mail shortly after the first of March.
Most of our activities are "no sign-up, just show up" in nature, but
several of them do require some kind of a sign-up or headcount and you
will be able to sign up for these activities on your personal activity
sign-up screen.
It takes only a few minutes, and in most cases you can easily change
your mind, with a "line place holder" feature which can keep you from
being bumped to a waiting list in many cases.
Please watch for this e-mail and if it does not arrive as expected,
be sure to report it.

Big Sister Thanks:
Delaney (Big Sister Coordinator) writes:
A sincere thanks to all who responded to the call for additional Big
Sisters!
Several of you have already been paired with a Little Sister who was
waiting, and we are in the process of contacting additional Littles who
previously requested assistance to ensure they are still planning to
attend and need of assistance. Again, thanks to all!
Those who have the need of assistance from a Big Sister (or Big Brother)
can request one by either e-mailing bigsister@geekbabe.com or using the
appropriate button on the registration update screen.
