Welcome:

Welcome to those who just joined the list or registered. If you
have any questions or concerns, please let us know.

If you need to register, see the links below.

We're now just over two months away from the big event! What
should be number one on your do-it list, if you have not done
so already, is securing your travel and lodging arrangements.
Prices are still good, FOR NOW! Do not procrastinate!

There was no mailing last week. Mailings will come out every
1-2 weeks as needed until around April 1.
. . .

Technical difficulties:

During the period of February 4 thru February 8, we had some
issues which caused some validation responses to not be
properly handled.

Some of you may have received validation reminders after
sending in your responses. Some of you may have also received
multiple copies of some machine-generated messages.

We believe all of these issues have been corrected. Please
continue to let us know if things don't seem to be happening
as you think they should.
. . . . .

Discussion Forum:

It pays (literally) to read the DLV Discussion Forum! It's on
the web at:

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

Recent items include a heads-up about a very significant rate
reduction at the Sahara over DLV week.

Our first activity feature (for this year) is now on line in
the DLV Discussion Forum as well.

Other recent topics on the Discussion Forum include such things
as restrooms, hotels, admirers, registration, and the FBI's M/F
policy for concealed-carry permits.

One other note on the DLV Discussion Forum, for those who receive
it by e-mail. This is the time of year when traffic increases,
some subscribers seem to be overwhelmed by the amount of messages.
The DLV Discussion Forum is also available as a digest instead of
individual messages.

If you wish to switch from individual messages to digest format,
just reply to any of the messages and say that you wish to switch
to digest format.

The only disadvantage to this is that when traffic is low, some
items may be delayed by several days in the digest.

The DLV Discussion Forum is also available as a Yahoo group,
for those who prefer to receive it that way.

The content is the same on all versions of the DLV Discussion
Forum.

On the activity front:

We've had a number of additions and changes to our lineup of
activities over the past few weeks.

On Tuesday evening we'll have a local Happy Hour and Dinner at
the Bellagio, for those not going on the Night Of The Soiled
Doves, which does have a limited capacity.

Art Tour will now be on Wednesday. Details to be announced.

The Glamour Boutique Open House will happen from 11:00am to 3:00pm
on Wednesday of DLV week.

Their Open House will feature a drawing for a satin ribbon corset!

Glamour Boutique, as many of you know, has been a consistent
supporter of DLV ever since 2002.

Also on Wednesday we've had a couple of additional Eating Out
Night options, with still more to come.

We're not done yet! Much more to come. Stay tuned! :)
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Numbers and updates:

Our validated headcount now sits at 140, including 28 SOs.

We have several from Europe, a few from Downunder, one from
South America, and one who even claims Antarctica as home! :)
We're not forgetting the 13 who are local to Las Vegas either.

It's still too early for any kind of an accurate turnout
projection, but it's very obvious that the turnout will
be heavy, and will quite possibly set a new attendance
record.

Our current record is 135 individuals at DLV 2007.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Need feedback on driving directions:

We need some feedback on this item. Previously we have included
detailed driving directions from our suggested hotels to the
venues in which our activities are held, and sent these out as
part of the Large Final Mailing.

We are considering discontinuing this one particular item
this year.

Why? It's a very high-maintenance item, and with six total
suggested hotels this year and a number of new venues, it will
be a several-hour project to update it for this year.

We still plan on including facility street addresses and
facility phone numbers on the final schedule, plus Monorail
stops and what to tell a taxi driver. We'll also have the
area map with activity venues noted.

The only thing we're planning to omit is the several-page
section with turn-by-turn driving directions.

If feedback indicates that it's actually needed, we will
make it happen, so if you want to see this again this
coming year, you'll need to write in, either by replying
to this message or in the DLV Discussion Forum, and state
that you want to see the explicit driving directions
again this year.

Thanks.
