Only 8 days Until DLV 2011!
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
One week to go:

Unless unforeseen circumstances arise, this will be the last
general mailing prior to DLV 2011.

On behalf of the DLV 2011 organizers and volunteers, we're
sincerely hoping that you enjoy this event!
. . . . .

Is there anything that's unclear, uncertain, or un-done?

Do you need to know something? Is something unclear to you?

Have you written to DLV and received no response? If so, please
be assured that it's an oversight and not a snub. Please resend
or remind.

Are you confused about anything that's going on?

Do you need help with activity selections, registration, etc.?

If anything is unclear to you, please let us know. We take pride
in prompt and clear responses to all concerns.

As we approach the final days leading up to DLV, concerns should
be brought to our attention sooner, rather than later.

If you have concerns, if something is incomplete, unclear, hanging,
uncertain, etc., please let us know. E-mail dlv@geekbabe.com or
simply reply to this mailing.
. . . . .

If you hold a registration for Diva Las Vegas 2011 you will receive
our Large Final Mailing either Wednesday or Thursday of this coming
week.

Please expect this, and please watch for it. Please be sure there
is enough room in your inbox to receive this.

IF YOU ARE REGISTERED FOR DLV 2011 AND DO NOT RECEIVE
THIS BY THURSDAY EVENING AT THE VERY LATEST, SOMETHING
IS WRONG AND WE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT IT!

This will be sent in several parts, in batches. The parts may
or may not all appear in your inbox at about the same time. The
main part describes what you should receive. If any pieces are
missing, please let us know ASAP.

If you will be leaving home early for DLV, you can request an
advance copy of the Large Final Mailing at any time.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING HAND-OUTS:

One very important change for DLV 2011:

This year we will NOT be handing out paper copies of maps
and schedules.

THAT'S CORRECT! YOU WILL RECEIVE NO PRINTED MATTER
WHEN YOU CHECK IN TO DLV 2011.

If you wish a paper copy of the map and/or the schedule, please
print these out (distributed with the Large Final Mailing)
prior to leaving for DLV. Advance copies will be available
for those leaving home prior to the send date of the Large
Final Mailing.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Last call:

Yes, there is still time to get in on DLV 2011 -- barely!

This is LAST CALL for registration for Diva Las Vegas 2011!

The deadline for general DLV 2011 registration will be
Wednesday at 11:59pm CDT. This will be a hard-stop cut-off.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Missing in action:

If your name is on this list, we have not received either an
activity sign-up or an e-mail reconfirmation of your intent to
attend DLV. Several notices to please do so have been sent.

(in alphabetical order by first name)

Alicia Z, Amanda A, Amanda U, Amber C, Andi R, Bobbie F,
Dianna N, Grant F, Hillary F, Jennifer S, Lindsey M,
Mark T, Nina S, Sue G, Tiffany M, Tiffany R J, Tracy L,
Valerie G

If you're on this list, please do one of the following:

1. Sign up for activities. You should have several items in
your inbox which contain the link at which you can do this.

2. Send a brief "yes, I am still coming" reconfirmation e-mail
to dlv@geekbabe.com

We really hate to do this, but if we don't see some kind of a
sign of life at this time, we can only assume that you're no
longer interested and cancel your registration, sorry.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Schedule updates:

We will be adding a "Volunteers And Prospective Volunteers
Social" to our DLV schedule.

Time and location are not final as of this time, but will be
on the final schedule in the Large Final Mailing.

We'll be recognizing current volunteers and encouraging those
who would like to become active in planning and implementing
DLV to get involved.

No, it's not gonna be a "planning meeting" or anything like
that. It's strictly social. No binding decisions will be made.
However, brainstorming and sharing of ideas will be encouraged.

Got a dynamite idea of something the DLV folks would like to do?

If you would like to become more active in the planning and the
implementation of DLV, please plan to attend.

Look for this on the final DLV 2011 schedule!

No sign-up, just show up.
. . . . . . . . . .

Wednesday PF Chang's (crossdressers.com) update:

The timing for the crossdressers.com social has been adjusted
as follows:

5:30pm: crossdressers.com Social, open to all
6:00pm: Dinner

Due to high demand, capacity for the dinner portion has been
expanded.

All other Wednesday dining options remain at their originally
posted times.
. . . . . . . . . .

Erotic Heritage Museum:

Possession of a DLV name badge will be required for admission
to the Erotic Heritage Museum on Tuesday evening of DLV week.

All registered DLV attendees will be welcome.

The Museum will be closed to the public at this time and open
only to registered DLV attendees. For those who are registered
but will not have picked up their name tag, check-in and name
tags will be available at the EHM just prior to the tour.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Admirer information:

There appears to be a heightened degree of interest in DLV by
admirers over the past few weeks. Here are a few notes on this
topic:

First and foremost, YES, admirers are welcome! Really-truly,
absolutely, subject to the same standards of behavior and
conditions of participation to which all attendees of DLV
must agree.

One caveat, speaking very freely and sorry if this is blunt,
if "hooking up" and "getting your ashes hauled" is your main
priority, stay away! That's not what we're about! Our event
is not sexually-oriented. Never has been, never will be.

If spending some very enjoyable time with some very good
people is your priority, then by all means, please join us!

To attend our event as an admirer, you must register, just
as all other attendees must do. You may register on line
here:

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

There is no charge to register. Please note (above) that
registration for DLV 2011 will close on Wednesday.

If you're interested in attending as an admirer, first please
look over our web site and be sure of what our event is and
what it is not:

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

The "Introduction", "About Us", and "FAQ" sections will give
you a good overview of our event and what you can expect.

Two particular items will be of interest to admirers:

1. Our Admirers Guide:

http://www.geekbabe.com/dlv/admir1.html

2. Dress Notes for Men:

http://www.geekbabe.com/dlv/dress/dlvd12.html

If you have questions or concerns which are not covered by the
above links, please ask, either by posting a note on our
Discussion Forum on line here:

viewforum.php?f=2

.. or by e-mail at: dlv@geekbabe.com

Please be aware that e-mail received this coming Thursday or
later may be held for a response until after the event has
concluded.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Deadlines and cut-offs (updated):

(in chronological order)

Registrations for which no activity sign-up or reconfirming
e-mail have been received will be cancelled Monday, March 28
at about 7:00am CDT. See item above to determine if this
applies to you.
. . . . .

The last batch of activity sign-up mailings will be sent on
Monday, March 28. Those registering after Sunday, March 27
(that's tomorrow!) may not be able to fully participate in
the DLV activities.
. . . . .

Activity sign-up will close Tuesday, March 29, at 11:59 CDT or
9:59pm PDT.

After this date/time, activity sign-ups and changes must be
made directly with the activity coordinators, in person, at
DLV.
. . . . .

General registration for DLV 2011 will close Wednesday, March
30 at 11:59 CDT or 9:59pm Pacific Daylight Time. This is a
hard-stop cutoff.
. . . . .

On Thursday, March 31, we will begin holding all e-mail
correspondence which is not of an extremely urgent nature
until after the event has concluded. THIS WILL INCLUDE
ROUTINE QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS YEAR'S EVENT.
. . . . .

Saturday, April 2, 6:00pm PDT is the deadline for cancellations
for the DLV 2011 Limousine Tour. Limo Tour payment may be made at
any DLV activity noted on the activity sign-up screen.
. . . . .

Saturday, April 2, 7:00pm PDT the first individual who approaches
Annie (ask if you don't know who she is) and shows either a
hardcopy print-out of any portion of the Large Final Mailing or a
PDA/smartphone/netbook/etc. display of same during the Pre-DLV
get-together will be treated to the liquid refreshment of his/her
choice.
. . . . .

special reserved VIP seating group for Frank Marino's Divas Las
Vegas show (see above).
. . . . .

payments. Payment may be made at any DLV activity noted on
the activity sign-up screen. If you're signed up for the High
Tea and no longer wish to attend, please cancel. Again, it is
expressly "un-cool" to cancel by default by failing to make
payment!
. . . . .

Wednesday, April 6, 6:00pm PDT is the deadline for Limo Tour
payments. Unpaid tickets will be released to the waiting list
at this time.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Emergency e-mail:

In the event the regular DLV e-mail facilities should fail
shortly before or during the event, we maintain a back-up
"emergency" e-mail account.

PLEASE USE THIS ADDRESS ONLY IN CASE OF A KNOWN OR
SUSPECTED E-MAIL OUTAGE. WE DO NOT CHECK THIS E-MAIL
FREQUENTLY EXCEPT WHEN WE HAVE REASON TO BELIEVE
THAT THERE ARE ISSUES WITH THE MAIN ACCOUNTS.

The emergency DLV e-mail contact address is:

dlvemergency@yahoo.com

Please continue to use the main DLV email address:

dlv@geekbabe.com

. for all correspondence except in the case of an e-mail
outage. Also note that e-mail received on or after Thursday,
March 31, may be held until after DLV for a reply.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Early Birds:

For those of you who will be in Las Vegas on Saturday, April 2,
there will be not one, but TWO opportunities to get together
with the DLV group.

The times and locations will be announced in the Large Final
Mailing, sent to all registered DLV attendees.

HEADS-UP: These will not be on the main schedule. Details will
appear in the main part of the Large Final Mailing.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Name tags:

If you have a name tag holder from previous years, please bring
it along with you, as tag holders are one of our major expenses
which are often not fully reimbursed.

The tag holders which have been furnished to us this year are
the "clip-on" type, with smooth, non-jagged edges which should
not damage most fabrics.

The name tag holders will hold a standard 3.5 x 2 inch card such
as a US standard business card. If you would rather use your own
business, social, or calling card in lieu of your DLV name tag,
please feel free to wear it in your name tag holder, turning the
DLV tag's front to the rear of the tag holder in the event that
it is necessary to verify your status as a DLV attendee.

If you prefer a different type of tag holder, such as a pin-on,
lanyard, or necklace style, please feel free to bring one along
with you. Better yet, bring along a small pack of the tag holders
you prefer, use one, and donate the rest for others.
