Proposed DLV 2003 dates:

We're proposing that Diva Las Vegas 2003 run from Tuesday, April 22 thru
Sunday, April 27, 2003. These dates have now been posted and marked as
tentative on the web site.

A one-month call for comments is now open, prior to considering the dates
as final. If you have any comments, positive or negative, regarding these
proposed dates, please send them in to dlv@geekbabe.com or simply reply
to this mailing.

We realize that there is no ideal DLV period in this coming year, and
that there is just a three-week window between Easter and Mothers Day.
Any selection of dates this coming year will be a compromise to some
extent.

Two workable options were considered, the other being May 1-6, and the
DLVORG group voted last week to propose the April 22-27 time frame. The
April 22-27 option was favored 3:1 by the DLVORG members.

We're leaving open the option to possibly extend DLV by a day if there
is a demand, and if we're able to secure enough volunteer help to plan
and implement the activities. Of course, everybody is free to come early
and/or leave late, as some have chosen to do each year.

Please do not book any air or hotel yet unless it's totally 100%
refundable and changeable.

Please do not post these dates in T* event calendars until they are
final.

If there are no major objections to the proposed dates, we'll announce
these as definite on September 1.

2003. If anybody has any additional suggestions, please feel free to
send them in. Just e-mail dlv@geekbabe.com or reply to this mailing.

Very few activities have been matched to timeslots, and it's indeed

Other goings-on:

Laura, one of our volunteers, will be submitting articles on DLV to some
of the well-known t* publications. She will be concentrating on those
that are intended to inform and entertain, and avoiding those that are
intended to excite or arouse. :) Please watch for these in print.
. . . . .

New bar, new show. A new FI show, MY-OH-MY, produced by Stephanie of
Glamour Boutique fame, is now appearing at Wet, a rather new bar in the
vicinity of the UNLV campus. We're keeping an eye on both the show and
the bar for possibilities for DLV 2003.
. . . . .

Pinkfest! If you liked DLV, you'll surely like Pinkfest. October
18-20 in Chicago. http://www.pinkmyst.com/pinkfest/
. . . . .

Religious services. We're going to be preparing a list of congregations
in the Las Vegas area that welcome GLBT people, both for the DLV people
who would like to attend, and also for the big list on the web. If
anybody has any recent first-hand experience regarding the actual
t-friendliness of any Las Vegas congregation, please let us know. We
would like to have at least one listing of Protestant, Catholic, and
Jewish.
. . . . .

E-mail viruses. We've had a couple reports that people have received
mail containing a virus (Klez or variant) from the DLV account. Please
be assured that the computer that handles the DLV lists is not of the
IBM-PC/Windows variety and cannot even process these nasty scripts. Some
of these viruses pick random e-mail addresses from peoples' address
books and use these in the From: field of what they send out. If you get
something that looks nasty that appears to have come from DLV, please
forward it WITH HEADERS INTACT to: abuse@geekbabe.com and we can help
identify where it really came from. All legitimate messages in this list
will have "dlv" at the beginning of the subject. There was only one
message sent during the month of July, that being on July 1. Please let
us know if you have any concerns regarding mail that appears to
originate from one of the DLV accounts.
