Welcome:

Welcome to those who just registered or joined the list. We're
looking forward to seeing you in person in April.

If you've recently registered or joined the mailing list, we
strongly suggest that you review the recent back mailings of
the list, on line here:

viewforum.php?f=4

In particular, please read the "Kick-Off" mailing, sent out
shortly after the first of the year. It's on line here:

viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1600

See "What you need to do", below, if you have not registered.
. . . . .

A special note to those who have not registered: You will need
to be registered by Sunday, March 6, in order to get in on the
first round of activity sign-up. See notes on registration and
activity sign-up below.
. . . . .

BIG THANKS go out to our volunteers, who have created, and are
continuing to work on an absolutely fantastic schedule of all
kinds of activities for DLV 2011!
. . . . .

Our schedule (below) is still incomplete. Although several
things have been added since the last mailing, there are still
a number of activities which have been planned but have not yet
been assigned a timeslot. These do not appear on the schedule.
. . . . .

As of Saturday morning we have 175 registered attendees total,
and this number includes 28 SOs. We're within striking distance
of a total turnout of over 200 this year!
. . . . .

We had some systems issues Saturday morning. The web site,
including MyDLV was not accessible for some periods. The
vendor assures us that the issue has been corrected.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Questions or concerns:

We're now less than two months out!

As we enter our "Busy Season", it's important that any questions
or concerns are raised sooner rather than later.

For the ABSOLUTE QUICKEST answer to most general questions
about Diva Las Vegas, here are two resources:

First is our Frequently Asked Questions List. On line here:

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

Over 90% of the questions we get via e-mail are already answered
in the FAQ list. This has been expanded for DLV 2011 with new
categories added.

If your question is not adequately answered in the FAQ list,
the best way to get a personal answer is to post your question
in the DLV Discussion Forum. This is on line here:

viewforum.php?f=2

The Discussion Forum is also mirrored on Yahoo here:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dlvegas/

With rare exception, any sincere question will receive at least
one answer promptly.

In the event that your question is not adequately answered by
the above, please e-mail your question (or simply reply to one
of our general mailings) but please keep in mind that as the
date approaches and our workload increases, the time it will
take to get you an answer will increase as well.

Activity sign-up:

Our next big milestone will be activity sign-up. This will
happen in about two weeks, starting the week beginning March
7th. Activity sign-up is where you tell us which of the many
optional DLV activities you want to do.

Many of the activities during DLV are what we call "no sign-up,
just show-up", meaning that all a registered DLV attendee needs
to do to participate is to show up at the correct time and place
for the activity at hand. Others require some additional action
which may be as simple as a rough headcount to measure interest
or they may require such things as a ticket purchase or even
a prepayment. This is all covered at activity sign-up time.

Here's the way this works:

During the week beginning March 7, everyone who holds a valid
DLV 2011 registration will receive a special activity sign-up
e-mail. This will contain a link to your personal activity
sign-up screen. Each of the activities which require some
kind of a headcount, sign-up, hoop-jump, or other action will
be detailed on this screen.

In most cases you can freely change your mind on what you've
signed up for, up to any noted deadlines.

You will receive a summary of the optional activities for which
you're signed up as part of the Large Final Mailing, shortly
before the big event.

New for DLV 2011: Most MyDLV members will be able to sign up
for optional activities using an "Activity sign-up" link from
the main MyDLV screen.

Please be watching for your activity sign-up e-mail during the
week beginning March 7.

What you need to do:

Here's a summary of what steps you'll need to take in order
to get in on Diva Las Vegas 2011:

Before you register, please be sure that you know exactly what
Diva Las Vegas is. We are not based on the model used for most
of the other TG community events, and each year we do get a
few who arrive expecting a High Desert clone of Be-All or SCC!

Please read the web site carefully: http://www.geekbabe.com/dlv/

The "Introduction" and "About Us" sections will give you a good
overview of what we're all about. The FAQ section answers most
of the questions we receive.
. . . . .

If you have not yet registered and want to attend:

Please register on line here:

http://www.geekbabe.com/dlv/registerdlv2011.html

In the event you have any difficulty registering, please let
us know (e-mail: dlv@geekbabe.com) and we'll get things on the
right track.

If you make a mistake when registering, you can easily change
things by editing your registration using the link you will
receive when you register.

One VERY IMPORTANT note on registration. Shortly after you
register you should receive a confirmation e-mail. This leads
us to a very important next topic ...
. . . . .

If you registered but have not received a confirmation e-mail:

SOMETHING IS WRONG! WE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT IT! NOW!

If you register and do not receive a confirming e-mail, write
in (e-mail: dlv@geekbabe.com) and explain the circumstances.
Most of these cases are simple to get on the right track, but
if they are not reported, you may be left high and dry!
. . . . .

After you have successfully registered, the next thing you need
to do, if you have not done so already, is make your travel and
lodging arrangements.

Our suggested hotels for DLV 2011 are discussed here:

http://www.geekbabe.com/dlv/2011hotels.html

As a special note, if you will not have a vehicle with you
and you will be needing a ride to the DLV activities, we
strongly suggest that you stay in one of our suggested hotels
so you will be near others who can give you a lift. (At your
own risk, of course.)
