DLV moves to Florida:

Votes are in, polls are closed --- finally.

As you will see from the votes below, the Wednesday Happy Hour, Dinner,
and possible show will be at Sasha's, as planned, with a fallback to
Tina's Freezone plan should Sasha's be unable to serve us that
Wednesday.

Leah, please finalize the arrangements. Tina, please stand by to put
your plan into place just in case it's needed. We thank both of you for
your service and your patience on this.

I would like to thank everybody for their input and ideas during this
"all hands on deck" issue.

In particular I would like to thank Ginger for her initiative in getting
the replacement dinner organized and ready to go if needed.

Although we will not be taking HRCafe up on their offer this year, I
think we should definitely place them high on our consideration list for
next year.

I would also like to thank Cat for contacting the various other places
and checking them out.

Out of 46 eligible to vote, 21 votes were received. Totals are:

A. Sasha's: 12
B. Hard Rock: 9

Last vote was received at 7:17pm CST Thursday and polls were closed at
that time today, just a while ago.

First vote came in less than a minute after the sending batch finished!

Since the vote is somewhat close, raw votes are posted with somewhat
obfuscated Message-Id: lines. If anybody thinks their vote is not
accounted for, please speak up.

Loose ends and dirty laundry:

. Our T* taxi driver. I'm tentatively scratching this from the list.

. Anybody have the "normal business hours" for Glamour Boutique?

. Mindy, is the Dress Barn discount good this year as well?

. Leah, any news from Vegas Girl Wigs?

. Mindy. Desert Rose Golf again? Just confirming. I have time and
prices.

. Mindy, High Tea? Four Seasons again? What time? How much?

. Mindy, (popular this time, huh?) and Diane, location for the SO's
gathering? Crown and Anchor again?

. Leah (Mindy?) is HM's aware we will be there en masse on Tuesday?

. Bellagio lunch on Thursday. Gina was the Den Mother for this one. Her
registration was cancelled for non-response. Densie, is this still a
"go" or do you want an alternate location or just scratch it? This was
to follow the air tour on Thursday.

. Michelle, is HM's aware that they will be getting a mini-mob of our
people for CGT on Thursday? This may be important since it looks like
they will be doing a radio remote thing on Thursday about CGT time.

Ok, Thanks. I'll get a note out about the clothing shipping that we
published earlier. I wanna be sure people do not ship to an address that
is not deliverable.

If at all possible, I would like to have it by April 14 (Monday) as that
is the date I want to put the Large Final Mailing<tm> to bed. This will
include directions and such, so if the location is in there, it means
more people will know about it, more business, etc. Thanks.

I envision if this is not known by LFM time, and it has to be marked as
TBA and the word passed at DLV, that not everybody will get the word and
there will be a signficant fallout and lost business.

Radios:

Yvonne (and anybody else who cares) I picked up a couple Audiovox FRS
radios the other day. $13 and change at Target'. I've been watching
and finally found them on sale. I think these may be handy for the
trip up to Area 51 as well.

Oh yes, and some of us know her from the newsfroups too. :) :) :)

Thanks for the update, LeeAnna. I hope Gina will be able to join us

Well, since the group decided to do Sasha's, I'm sure Leah can twist
Michael's arm WRT doing a show for us.

Also, after dinner, there is Steph's new show at Sasha's on Wednesday,
"Dinner Drag and Divas" and you can see an image of the show poster
at http://www.drbbs.com/dmr/showposter.jpg

If there are no objections, I'm gonna put DD&D on the schedule as an
after-dinner option for our people on Wednesday.

Kind of a moot point, but thinking in reverse, is there time to get in
something at Hard Rock Cafe?

I don't know about Thursday. I'm sure CGT has some kind of arrangement
at HM's and there will be no problems with the radio remote. Michelle,
can you comment on this please?

I had planned an informal dinner thing at Palace Station on Sunday the
27th, but I'm not gonna be heartbroken if somebody else wants to plan
one at HRCafe instead. If somebody does do it, I'll kill the Palace
Station thing.

Also, IIRC, Monique is planning to eat dinner there on Sunday. (Monique,
is that correct?) I'm sure anybody who wants to join in is welcome.

Yes, Milano's is possible Monday. And yes, it's a DLV tradition.

Well, you just about had your wish. :) As you see, the vote is very
close, and a couple of times was a dead heat with hours until the next
vote came in.
