Latest updates:
Welcome to all who recently registered or joined the list!
We're looking forward to seeing everyone in Las Vegas this
coming April.
. . . . .
As of Saturday morning our total sign-up is 161, including
26 SOs. We're expecting a very good crowd this year!
. . . . .
We've passed that two-month mark and everybody's getting
excited! Everything is looking good for a well-attended and
highly successful event this April!
. . . . .
Congratulations to Jackie S., the 1000th member of our
general mailing list!

Registration:
General registration is now open.
Newcomers and returnees may register using this link:
http://www.geekbabe.com/dlv/registerdlv2011.html
MyDLV members can simply follow the "DLV Registration" link
on the main MyDLV screen.
. . . . .
What you need to do:
If you've just joined the list, or otherwise taking off from
a cold start, here's what you will need to do in order to
attend and participate:
1. Read the web site (www.geekbabe.com/dlv/) carefully and
be sure you know what DLV is and what DLV is not. A common
misunderstanding is to assume a great degree of same-ness
between DLV and the other major TG-community events. We are
not based on the model on which most of the others are.
2. Register for DLV. See the link immediately above. There's
still some misinformation circulating along the line that you
really do not have to register. This is incorrect. You need
to be registered and appear on our roster to be admitted to
DLV functions.
3. Make your travel and lodging arrangements. See our web
site (link above) for our suggested hotels.
4. Get ready to have a great time!
That's about it. If you have any questions or concerns,
please let us know.

Activity Highlights:
There have been quite a few developments on the activity front
since our last general mailing. You'll notice that the working
schedule (below) is much fuller than it was in our last mailing.
There are still several items which are definitely happening,
but have not been given a timeslot and will not yet appear on
the schedule.
On Sunday we'll be having two common gatherings in the evening,
one in a "safe" venue, and another being mainstream. The two
are planned to be within a few blocks of each other, so it will
be easy to slide between the two if you wish.
Air Tours returns to DLV on Monday morning. Golf is Wednesday,
Limo Tour is Thursday, and High Tea on Friday.
Also on Thursday, for those who don't want to ride around in
big fancy cars while enjoying adult beverages, is "The Fab",
a Beatles Tribute, with a "Pre-Fab" dinner.
Two side trips are planned. The first will visit the Shiloh
Horse Rescue Project at the Shiloh Ranch.
The second will be a day trip to Mount Charleston on Thursday.
This is the trip discussed a while back on the Discussion
Forum, and skiing may or may not be available, depending on
the weather and other circumstances.
Among the "Art Tour" options this year are Madame Tussaud's Wax
Museum on Wednesday, a trip to the Neon Boneyard on Tuesday,
and a special-engagement at the Erotic Heritage Museum on
Tuesday evening.
Many other activities are in the works. Stay tuned for details.
Please check the DLV Discussion Forum (see link in this mailing)
for detailed activity highlights appearing up until April.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Diva Las Vegas Trivia Quiz:
This is an informal just-for-fun diversion. Surf here:
http://www.geekbabe.com/dlv/dlvkwiz3.html
The first person to score 100% will receive a small but enjoyable
prize during DLV 2011.
We'll post the answers in the Discussion Forum when somebody gets
100%, or in about a week or so if nobody does.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
MyDLV Update:
MyDLV is an expansion of our on-line presence which allows you
as a DLV attendee (or prospective attendee) to contribute to
the experience of all users.
Since we last mentioned MyDLV we've had about 60 join the MyDLV
system and several have now created photo galleries. To view
others' galleries, use the "Browse Other Members" link toward
the top of most main MyDLV pages.
Visit this link to join MyDLV:
http://www.geekbabe.com/dlv/mydlv/
This year during Diva Las Vegas, we'll be using MyDLV Chirps
to help spread the word on any important announcements or updates.
Members of MyDLV can receive these on text-capable cell phones or
other personal devices. In previous years we've had no means of
spreading the word while our event was in progress.
If you've forgotten your username and/or your password, it's
very simple to get back on track. You can either use the link
to reset your password, or e-mail tech@geekbabe.com and explain
the circumstances.
And, for MyDLV members, there are several outstanding Friend
Requests waiting for an answer!

Big Sister Volunteers needed:
Big Sisters are volunteer DLV veterans who are standing by to
help as needed, either prior to DLV, or during DLV.
Our Big Sister Program has, literally, changed lives!
If you're a returnee this year, please consider volunteering
as a Big Sister. You can volunteer by simply updating your
registration. Just follow the link that was sent to you when
you registered. If you have any difficulty with this, just
let us know and we'll get things on track for you.
Being a Big Sister does not have to be a high-maintenance
situation. As a Big Sister volunteer, you call the shots as
far as whether you're available before DLV, during DLV, or
both, and exactly what you are and are not willing to do
as a Big Sister.
If you are a returnee, please consider volunteering to be
a Big Sister and lending a hand to those just coming out.
You can volunteer to be a Big Sister on the DLV Registration
screen. Just follow the link that was sent to you via e-mail
when you registered. MyDLV members can follow the "Registration"
link on the main MyDLV screen.
Thanks to Nora for coordinating the Big Sister Program and
big thanks to all who have helped make our Big Sister program
a success.
