Call For Photos - Two week warning:
Our Call For Photos will close on Sunday, June 29. Please get any
non-submitted photos in ASAP.
The photo staging area will remain open until mid July.
Everyone who attended DLV 2014 should have now received their link to
the photo staging area. If you attended and did not receive this, please
write in (just reply to this message) and explain the circumstances
Over 1200 photos have been posted in the staging area so far, with
many more still in the process.
All removal requests made by last Friday evening have been processed.
Of particular importance when we get this many photos, many of which are
similar, is to use the "like" button to indicate which of similar photos
you prefer and recommend for the final DLV pages.
. . . . .
One specific question has come in regarding cell phone photos and if
they are wanted and allowed.
If the cell phone photos are crisp and clear and are sized 500 pixels or
more on the long side, yes, please send them in.
. . . . .
Here are the ways you can submit photos:
1. By e-mail, attach using any sane method or format. Send photos to the
main DLV address: dlv@geekbabe.com
You may simply reply to this mailing and attach photos.
2. By FTP. Faster and cleaner than by e-mail. Please let us know if you
want to submit photos by FTP and we'll get you the login credentials.
3. By snailmail. CDs, DVDs, floppies, thumb drive or hardcopy prints,
any sane format. If you want these back, please say so and we'll cover
the return postage. Write in for the mailing address.
4. Via the MyDLV Gallery. Upload them to your MyDLV Gallery and send us
a note that "Photos X Y and Z are intended for the main DLV pages" or to
that effect.
. . . . .
Now, as for size and format ...
We'll take them any way you want to send them, but a good sane size
would be around 800-1500 pixels on the long side, .jpg, medium quality,
72dpi. We do have scripts to normalize the size, brightness, and
contrast.
Zip or tar files are not necessary. We'll take them that way if you want
to send them that way, but it's not required. If you don't know anything
about zips and tars, don't worry, just send them in and we will sort it
out.
Big thanks to all who have sent in photos of this year's event!

Things to come:
We're in our "slow season" now, wrapping up from the recent event and
doing some housekeeping behind the scenes.
Our Call For Photos is ongoing. This will close in two weeks. The review
period will continue through mid July.
We are going to try to get the final DLV 2014 follow-up pages on line
earlier this year, and the target is sometime in August, but as of this
time we don't know the exact day, hour, minute, and second that they will
appear.
The dates for Diva Las Vegas 2015 will be set in the autumn of 2014.
There will be a one-month Call For Comments on the proposed dates before
they become final. Watch your inbox toward mid-late summer!
In October we have Pinkfest, starting October 8. See notice below.
In early December, we'll be announcing our suggested hotels for DLV 2015
and re-registration for returnees will open around the first of the
year.

Pinkfest:
It seems like each year when DLV concludes, there's talk about how nice
it would be if we would have a "Mini DLV" about half-way between our
yearly DLV events.
Well, we have just that, and it's been going on for 14 years now!
It's not in Las Vegas, but in Chicago. Like the DLV that you know and
love, it's a "vacation, not a convention", and is a lot of fun!
It's called Pinkfest, and it grew from the same roots as DLV.
This year's Pinkfest will run from Wednesday, October 8, thru
Sunday, October 12, 2015.

. . . . .
Now we know what some of you are thinking. "But it's not Las Vegas!"
When you think about it, about the only thing that Las Vegas has that
Chicago doesn't have much of is casino gaming, and if that's your
priority, you can find it in Chicagoland if you look for it.
Everything else that made you fall in love with Diva Las Vegas is there
at Pinkfest, such as open-minded and accepting vendors and venues, fun
things to do, the upbeat but easy-going "party" atmosphere, and
fun-loving people to share your good times with!
And yes, if you've attended DLV, you're sure to see some familiar faces.
