August-September update:

DLV dates are now final. Tuesday, April 22 thru Sunday, April 27.

There were some concerns about the dates, but not enough to warrant a
revote. Yes, we realize there is no ideal period for DLV 2003, but we
believe these dates are the best considering all circumstances.

As we've discussed before, we're leaving open the option to extend DLV
by one day. If this is to happen, we will probably know it around the
first of the year.

There are some items in this mailing on which we're asking for feedback.
Please read the notes below, and send in your comments. You can do so
by replying to this mailing.

Shuttle van service:

Here's a question to everybody, and we would appreciate comments and
feedback on this. If this is to happen, we need to know well in advance
if there is a demand for it.

We have been discussing the possibility of having a shuttle van
(professionally-driven) available to provide transportation from our
suggested hotels to and from the various DLV activities.

As is most everything with DLV, this would be an option for those who
would like it.

We need to know if this is something you would like. We estimate the
cost for this would be a few dollars per person (plus tip) for each
trip, or in line with the cost of a taxi.

The advantages are obvious. It would be quick and convenient tranport
directly to and from the activities with no hassles of taxi lines,
traffic or parking. Those using it do not have to be concerned about
driving after a few drinks, being nervous about driving, or banging up
their own car or rental car.

Due to the cost and commitment, this would have to be paid for in
advance with no refunds, and those using it would have to be ready to go
to and ready to leave the various activities at the designated times.

If this is to happen, it will require a lot of lead time and advance
coordination, so we will continue looking into this if and only if there
is a demonstrated demand.

Soooo ... If you would like to see a professionally-driven shuttle
service for DLV 2003, please speak now or forever hold it .... Let us
know if you would like this. Write to dlv@geekbabe.com or simply reply
to this mailing and say so.

Golf feedback requested:

Mindy would like some feedback regarding golf, for preliminary planning
of the Fourth Annual Diva Las Vegas Open next April.

Question 1: Do you prefer Thursday morning or Friday morning for golf?

Question 2: Would you like to play again at the Desert Rose, as was done
in 2002, or try someplace else?

Comments? Just reply to this message or send to dlv@geekbabe.com

Activity notes:

Although our daily schedule is still in a formative stage, here are some
highlights of some of the activity planning.

Please remember that we're still 8 months out from the big event, so
everything here is still tentative and subject to change.

On Wednesday, we're planning a happy hour and dinner at Sasha's,
followed by Club Girl Talk or a trip to a Womens Improv at one of the
local casinos. Karaoke will follow.

Before our Annual Mixer on Friday evening, we will have happy hour and
dinner at a nearby restaurant.

Saturday evening will be highlighted by Showgirls Of Magic at the San
Remo, preceeded by happy hour and a buffet dinner.

There's much more happening, including golf, a repeat of the air tours,
limo tour, at least one side trip, dance night, high tea, SBS social,
swim party, and others.

Still on the plate, but not decided upon are various things such as
bowling, retro night, mini-golf (for those who don't wanna spend the
whole day doing it), vendor open houses, etc.

As always, comments and suggestions about our activities are welcome.

Think Pink:

If you liked DLV, you'll also like Pinkfest, another vacation, not a
convention. This will happen October 18-20 in Chicago, IL, USA.

Yes, if you come, you will see some very familiar faces. :)
