Welcome:
Welcome to those who recently joined the list. This is the August-
September update. Things are happening. We're making excellent progress
toward DLV 2002. Stay tuned and get ready for the best DLV yet!
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Dates have been set:
Diva Las Vegas 2002 will run from Tuesday evening, April 30, thru Sunday,
May 5.
As of this time, most of the popular t* event calendar keepers have been
notified of these dates.
One thing that everybody can do is help spread the word.
If you happen to notice an event calendar which does not have DLV 2002,
please notify the keeper of the calendar, giving the contact e-mail
address as dlv@geekbabe.com and the contact web site URL as:
http://www.geekbabe.com/dlv/
If you have a personal website, we would appreciate a link to the DLV
site.
If you are in a t* support group, please see if you can get us a blurb
in the group's newsletter and/or on the group's web site.
If you have a GLBT newspaper in your area which has an events column,
please submit a notice for DLV.

Las Vegas locals:
Due to a strange set of circumstances, I (Annie) will be spending the
night of September 16th (Sunday) in Las Vegas. If anybody would like to
get together, please let me know. (e-mail: annie@annie.net) We could
even do something like get a group together at Keys if there is
interest. Let me know if you are interested. I'll be in Las Vegas Sunday
evening and Monday morning (September 16-17).

Schedule of activities:
For the next few months, the DLVORG group will be planning and scheduling
the various activities for DLV 2002. Each of our mailings will have the
latest proposed schedule as of that time. The current one appears below.
Please keep in mind that there are quite a few "holes" in the schedule,
meaning timeslots that have not been filled with activities yet. The
schedule will get more full as things are agreed upon and activities
are scheduled.
Due to the amount of time between now and DLV 2002, all schedule items
must be considered highly tentative.
If you would like to participate in the planning and organizing of DLV
2002, please write to dlvorg@geekbabe.com and state you want to be added
to the DLVORG mailing list.
Activity suggestions are always welcome. If there's something you think
the group would enjoy doing, even something that's atypical, please let
us know.

Some frank answers:
This was received mid August and I am copying it to the list in case
others are in this situation. I've take the liberty of editing a few
details.
>Please, this is not a crank letter. I'm serious. If you don't want me on
>your list or at your affair, please be blunt with me and say so,
>just don't blow me
>off, ok?
I'll be very frank and honest with you.
Let's get you on the mailing list.
I'm going to copy this to the list, since others may be in the same
situation or may find it of interest.
>I'm kind of a cross between a crossdresser and an admirer. I dress in
>private, and I like TV/TS girls. I don't know where I fit in. I've been
>in contact with Try-Ess and they don't want any part of me.
Here's the story. We don't inquire as to "what" our people are, although
some volunteer that information. Anybody is welcome to join us as long
as they identify with the theme of DLV and are willing to behave as a
lady or gentleman (or both at times).
>I know you probably don't want me out in public with you dressed, since
>I've got a full beard and moustache, but I was wondering if it would be
>ok for me to kind of tag along to one or two of your events. I would
>dress in male-mode for that.
I see no problem at all with you attending as many events as you would
like.
As far as dress, we ask everybody to please dress appropriate to the
time, place, and circumstance of each of our activities. For most of the
activities, boymode dress would be about the only thing appropriate with
facial hair. However, for such things as Rocky Horror Picture Show,
anything goes, and you can wear almost anything you want.
>... I recognize some of the places in your photo archives.
>Please, let me know one way or the other. I promise I will behave, I
>just would like to be in the company of your group for a while.
I know we have had people who consider themselves to be admirers (both
male and female) with us over the past 5 years. I know some t* groups
and activities have policies against admirers, but we don't have
anything specific.
I'm gonna be very frank here. Admirers do have the reputation of coming
on very strong. It's this behavior that makes them unwelcome in some t*
gatherings. At DLV, we have yet to see this behavior, fortunately.
Look over the web page, read the FAQ, read the mailings and ask any
questions you have, and if you would like to join us, I don't see any
problems.
