Two weeks:

We're just two weeks out from the big event and everybody is getting
excited!

Yes, there is still time to get in on things, but we're getting very
close to last call. If you're serious about attending, please do not
procrastinate any longer. See "What you need to do" below.

See back mailings for further information on attending. They are on
line here:

http://www.geekbabe.com/dlv/mydlv/mainforum/viewforum.php?f=4

We are now entering our "crunch time", so it's important that if
there is anything that needs attention, we know about it sooner
rather than later! If there's anything that's uncertain, unclear,
un-done, etc., please let us know about it ASAP.

If you have questions or concerns, we ask that you please check the
back mailings and the FAQ first, because well over 90% of the
questions we get via e-mail are already answered. The FAQ is on
line here:

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

You will notice that several new activities have been added to our
schedule since the last mailing. Some, such as "Dig This" are very
unusual for an event like ours! Big thanks to all volunteers for
planning a dynamite event this year!
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
What you need to do:

Yes, you can still get in on DLV 2012 but you must act NOW!

The clock is ticking and several deadlines are approaching. See
the list of specific deadlines below.
. . . . .

If you have not registered for DLV 2012 yet:

The first thing you need to do is register. Register here:

http://www.geekbabe.com/dlv/regdlv2012.html

After your registration has been processed, you will receive
your activity sign-up mailing within the next few days.
. . . . .

If you have filled out the registration screen but have received
absolutely nothing in e-mail:

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

Please e-mail us (dlv@geekbabe.com) and explain the circumstances.
. . . . .

If you have registered (by 1:00pm PDT Friday morning) but have
not received your activity selection e-mail:

SOMETHING IS WRONG! WE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT IT! We need to check
things and see what is going on. Sooner the better!

E-mail us, explain what's going on. dlv@geekbabe.com
. . . . .

If you have registered but not made your activity selections:

Please make your activity selections as soon as possible. If you
have any questions about this, or if things don't work for you as
they should, please write in and explain what is going on.

Activity sign-up also reconfirms your intent to attend DLV.

If you don't wish to sign up for any optional activities, either
submit a blank activity sign-up screen or write a brief "reconfirming"
e-mail to dlv@geekbabe.com explaining that you will indeed be attending.

If you have difficulty with the activity sign-up screens, let us know
and we will do it for you manually if necessary.
. . . . .

If you've registered but don't want to do any of the optional
activities:

Either submit a blank activity sign-up screen as stated above or send
a brief note to dlv@geekbabe.com saying that you are still attending
but you will not be signing up for any of the optional activities.
. . . . .

If you have made your activity selections:

You're all set! Pack your bags and get ready! If you want to change
any of your activity selections, in most cases you can do this up
until April 18.
. . . . .

If you let your activity sign-up lapse:
If your registration was canceled for any reason:

It's easy to un-cancel. If you canceled on the web, you can easily
reverse the process yourself. If you had an activity sign-up lapse,
write in and explain the circumstances and we'll get things back on
track for you.
. . . . .

Travel and lodging:

If you haven't made your travel and lodging arrangements, please
do so immediately.

Information on our suggested hotels appears here:

http://www.geekbabe.com/dlv/2012hotels.html

If you have any difficulty finding a room, phone the Las Vegas
Convention and Visitors Authority at 1-877-VISIT-LV (1-877-847-4858).
They will know who has rooms available and can book rooms for you
if needed.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Activities, sign-up, and waiting lists:

Everyone who registered by Friday, April 6 (1:00pm PDT) should have
received a special mailing with a link to the personalized activity
sign-up screen.

If anyone has any difficulty signing up for activities, please
let us know and we'll get things straightened out for you.
. . . . . . . . . .

As of the time of this mailing, some of the popular activities are
full or in a waiting list state and some are approaching full.

Please do not procrastinate on your activity sign-ups!

Here is a run-down on where things stand as of Friday evening:

The Sunday Beginner Dinner at the Artisan just hit the full mark
late last night. Waiting list is currently very short.

Sign-ups are heavy for the Mob Museum Tour on Monday. There is no
hard limit on this, but there may be quite a crowd! :)

The Monday evening Tony Roma's Dinner is full.

The Marrakech (Moroccan) dining option just hit full. Waiting list
is currently short.

The Diva Mystery Evening on Tuesday is approaching full.

The Bare Escentuals Makeover Session 1 on Wednesday is full. Space
is still available in Session 2.

The Thursday evening dinner at Trevi still has room, but it is
expected to fill to capacity within the next week.

The Thursday evening Limo Tour is full, but the waiting list is
short. The "E-Ticket only" option is no longer available.

All three Macy's Makeover sessions are expected to fill to capacity
within the next week.

Waiting list instructions:

For those of you who are signing up for something which is in a
waiting list state, pay particular attention to your final summary
in the Large Final Mailing. If cancellations have occurred, you may
find that you have moved up to confirmed status.

For any activities which are in a waiting list state, there will be
"Waiting List Instructions" in the notes for that activity on the
final detailed schedule.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
If you know you're not gonna make it:

By now, everyone should know with close to 100% certainty if you
are or are not really-truly going to participate in Diva Las Vegas
this year.

If you registered and you know you're not going to be coming, please
give us the courtesy of a cancellation. Please help us out with out
planning and record-keeping and let others move up on waiting lists.

You don't need to explain anything.

You can cancel on line using the URL that was sent to you when you
registered, or you can simply reply to this mailing, say who you
are, and say you will not be joining us.
