Welcome:

Welcome to those who just joined the list or registered. Our sign-up
headcount is now in the high 90's. We're going to have a very good crowd
and a very good time this year!

We're approaching our activity sign-up time. See note below. To be sure
you get in on the first round of activity sign-up, please be sure to
register prior to March 10.

Turnout for DLV 2003 is predicted to be extremely heavy, and although
we do not anticipate having to cut off registrations, the capacity of
the venues for some of the activities have capacity limits. Those
registering late may not get to do some of the popular activities
with the group. Don't procrastinate, gang! :)

This applies to your travel and accommodations as well. Hotel prices are
creeping up and places are starting to sell out over the DLV weekend.

(I always thought about procrastinating, but I never got around to it.)

E-mail directory deadline:

Sunday, March 2, 6:00pm Central Time is the cutoff for entries for the
DLV e-mail directory. See last week's mailing (archive link below
if you don't have it) for information. This will be the last edition
of the DLV 2003 e-mail directory published in March.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Activity sign-up:

On Monday, March 10, we will begin our DLV 2003 activity sign-up.

Many of our activities, such as the Welcome Celebration, Annual Mixer,
etc., require no signup, you just show up.

However, a number of these require such things as a headcount, and in
some cases, advance payment.

Our activity sign-up process is where we take these headcounts and you
tell us which of these activities you would like to do.

Priority on most of these activities is first-signed first-served,
and in a few cases, first-paid first served.

Everybody who is registered by 7:00am Central (US) time on Monday,
March 10, will be able to take part in the first round of the activity
sign-up. Everybody will receive a clickable link via e-mail for their
own personalized activity sign-up screen.

You may change your mind at any time by simply filling out this screen
again. One important point is that you will not lose your "place in
line" if you sign up for something, change your mind, and later decide
you would like to do it again.

Time for Brunch:

Tina writes:

Monday April 21 through Saturday April 26, 1 PM, DLV Brunch at
the Sahara Buffet Come as you are (boy or girl, half-awake or
up-since-dawn). No sequins or see-through blouses at brunch, just
casual. Don't worry, you'll still look great. If you want to have a
meal with other DLV people, be there at this time and your odds will
be very good for finding other DLV denizens. Creatures of the night.
Hungover hags. And me. Look for the DLV nametag.

Now for some FAQs on brunch:

Q. Is this a perfect time for everyone?

A. No, of course not, there's no such thing.
. .

Q. Will this conflict with other DLV daytime activities?

A. Possibly, but if you're just getting up to eat at that time, then
you're going to miss (or be very late for) Area 51 or the Primm Valley
Mall or the whatever anyway, so you might as well stop in and eat
something first.
. .

Q. Am I going to be in girl-mode this early in the day?

A. Probably not, I never look good before 5 PM, but many DLV girls will
be. Just think of me as your chaperone.
. .

Q. Brunch implies breakfast food at lunch time - will there still be bacon
and eggs at 1 PM?

A. Probably not. Brunch is a concept, baby. Roll with it.

(Editor's note: Actually, IIRC, they (Sahara) do have breakfast type
food still out at that time.)
. .

Q. Will I be there every single day?

A. You've got to be kidding!! But I do commit to being there Monday,
Tuesday, and Wednesday.

It'll happen Thursday, but some of us may be at the Bellagio luncheon
or still sleeping. With the increased DLV attendance for the weekend,
Friday, Saturday and Sunday will occur with or without me. Note that
we're not officially scheduling a Sunday 4/27 brunch because of the
High Tea, but odds are you'll find someone from DLV to eat with at the
Sahara at that time anyway. Enough people typically stay at the
Sahara, that you will almost always find some DLV person in the buffet
at any time on the weekend. Again, just look for the cute and discrete
little DLV nametag (should you choose to accept your mission and wear
it). Odds are, any t* girl you see at that time is from DLV, nametag
or not. Just look around and say Hi. We're not hard to spot.
. .

So, if it's convenient for you, pop in for DLV Brunch at the Sahara.
If it's not convenient, don't worry about it. Nobody does every
activity at DLV. Pacing, girl, pacing.

Hugs to all,

-- Tina

Local transportation:

A few notes about local transportation to the various activities ...

We will again be coordinating a ride-share program, and publishing
driver/rider lists for those who are staying in our suggested hotels
and wish to share rides.

This is, of course, a good-faith best-effort process, and a ride cannot
be guaranteed, but history has shown us that in almost all cases, the
number of available seats will far exceed the number of riders who need
them.

This year we will be designating a particular rider pick-up location for
each of our suggested hotels, and a specific rider pick-up time for each
activity.

We had previously mentioned that we were looking into the possibility
of a shuttle van. This will not be happening for DLV 2003.

If you will be needing rides to the DLV activities, please be sure that
you stay in one of our suggested hotels (in alphabetical order: Imperial
Palace, Sahara, San Remo, Tropicana) and have that properly indicated on
your registration. Also be sure that you have indicated that you will be
needing a ride on your registration. These items will assure that you
will appear on the correct driver/rider list.

One last note on ride sharing (yeah, I hate this stuff too, but ...):

Participation in the ride-share program is at your own risk and a
private arrangement between driver and rider. DLV organizers and
volunteers make no guarantees, and cannot be held responsible if
something unexpected or tragic happens.

Room sharing:

DLV, just like any other event where people pay for hotel rooms, can be
more affordable if people share rooms. We will have a "roommate clearing
house" in this mailing list.

Please register for DLV 2003 (see link this mailing) prior to sending in
a roommate wanted listing.

If you've already booked a room, and would like for somebody else to
stay with you and share the expense, or if you're looking for somebody
who has extra space, please write to this list (dlv@geekbabe.com) with
the word "Roommate" somewhere in the subject line. Please include the
following items in your e-mail:

1. Your name.

2. Your e-mail address.

3. What date you will be arriving and what date you will be departing.

4. Do you have a room to share, or do you need space in one.

5. Any annoying habits or traits you have. (Do you smoke, do you snore,
are you a very early riser, compulsive talker, late-nite MTV addict,
etc.)

6. Any additional notes or comments.

When we have roommate items, we will include them in a special ongoing
section toward the bottom of each DLV Announcement List mailing. Those
interested in sharing rooms can then contact each other by e-mail and
make arrangements.

Please remember, any roommate agreements are private arrangements
strictly between the people involved, and I or anybody else cannot be
responsible if things don't work out (etc. etc., yada-yada, you know the
drill).

(No roommate items are currently on file.)
