This is the final item on the DLV 2001 organizational list. Any further
traffic will be redirected to the main DLV list, which will resume after
the holidays.
I'd like to say thanks to everybody who participated in this list. Much
of the planning is done, all that needs to be done is to smooth out some
of the rough spots, concentrate on registration and volunteers, and go
there and enjoy DLV 2001! :)
I really appreciate the help and support everybody's given over the past
year, especially during my "time of need" last February.
Best wishes to you, yours, and everybody for a happy and safe holiday
season. Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy New Year!
Two last "business" items.
1. Ten registrations have come in over the past three days. No, I am not
kidding! Four are returnees, the rest are newcomers. I've been adding
1-2 addresses per day to the mailing list for the past week or so. Word
has definitely gotten out. This is an order of magnitude above the
interest we've seen this far in advance of any of the previous DLV's.
If this is any indication of turnout, it's almost scary.
2. I received an inquiry from someone who wanted to be a fly-in vendor
and also put on seminars. (I'm acquainted with most of the vendors who
regularly do the t* convention circuit, and I've never heard of these
people.) The pitch included such things as profit sharing, and had what
I would consider quite a bit of hype.
IMAO, they didn't read the website.
Anyway, I wrote back. I didn't exactly say "thanks but no thanks", but
rather that they are welcome to come and to set up a display in a hotel
room or something, but I can't guarantee them a captive audience.
I did say that there is a need for a makeover artist, and dropped the
name of Jim Bridges to indicate the level of expertise that would be
desired.
Anyway, if anybody wants a copy of the e-mail exchange, write me.
That's about it, gang. Thanks again. :)
*hugs*
