Things are just about ready to go gang! Everything is falling into place
quite nicely. Next Thursday is coming up very quickly!
Basically, all everybody has to do (assuming you've registered) is to
show up. :)
As for dress, for all activities, just about anything from casual to
moderately dressy, boymode or girlmode, will be fine.
Big thanks to Elena for coordinating this year's Pinkfest activities! :)
A few notes, updates, reminders here ...
. . . . .
Welcome:
Welcome to those who just joined the list. Yes, there's still time to
get in on Pinkfest. All you really have to do is look over the back
mailings that you have missed and send in your registration. To
register, see the information below.
Back mailings appear on the web at:
http://www.geekbabe.com/annie/pink04arc/
. . . . .
Registration:
Thanks to those who have sent in registration information. This helps
us out immensely.
There are still, however, (>>>HINT<<<) a number of people who have said
they will be joining us for at least part of Pinkfest who have not yet
responded.
No, we're not gonna turn anybody away who has not registered, but it
will be most helpful to us and to you if you please do so. See notes on
this in the various categories below.
A "maybe" response, both for Pinkfest as a whole and for the various
activities, is fine. Regrets are not necessary.
The registration information request is repeated at the bottom of this
mailing.
. . . . .
Large Final Mailing - contact information:
The Large Final Mailing for Pinkfest 2004 will be sent out late Monday
or early Tuesday. This will include such things as:
* Final Pinkfest 2004 schedule
* Notes and clarification about where to meet at the various venues,
who to look for, what to do if you have trouble finding the venue or
the group, etc.
* Clarification on some of the "ifs" and "maybes" on prior schedules.
* Contact information (cell phones, pagers, etc.) for the Pinkfest
organizers.
Please be watching for this mailing on Monday or Tuesday and let us know
if you do not receive it.
THE LARGE FINAL MAILING WILL BE SENT ONLY TO THOSE WHO HAVE RESPONDED TO
THE REGISTRATION REQUEST. If you sent in a registration response and do
not receive this by Tuesday, something is wrong, and IF THIS IS THE CASE
FOR YOU PLEASE LET US KNOW.
The Large Final Mailing will come from Elena's e-mail account and not
from the list address. If you are one of those who blocks or rejects
unknown incoming e-mail, please be sure the address elena@net56.net is
on your white list.
. . . . .
Dropping in and tagging along:
Yes, in many cases it's perfectly fine to just drop in on Pinkfest or
tag along with somebody else. For all of the bar-type activities this is
fine. For the dinners, if you haven't registered be sure to show up for
the preceding happy hour so you will be included in the table counts.
. . . . .
Registration information:
If you're planning on joining us and have not yet sent in your
information, please reply to this note and briefly answer the
following items.
If you're local to Chicago, or just planning to drop in for one or two
things, please reply anyway, stating what you will be attending as this
helps us out considerably.
(No, your reply will not be mass-mailed to the list. The totals will be
tabulated and the results announced to the list.)
1. Your name.
2. When will you be arriving and when will you be departing? (If you're
local to Chicago, just say so.)
3. Where will you be staying? This will be used to coordinate ride share
and stuff? (Specific hotel or approximate area of town.)
4. Will you be desiring a ride to Pinkfest activities?
5. Will you have a vehicle, and if so, how many seats will you have for
those needing a ride?
6. Will your SO be attending with you?
7. Any special needs or concerns.
A few notes:
* "Don't know yet" is an acceptable answer to just about all of the
questions above. If you will be coming, please let us know that.
* Regrets are not necessary. We're keeping track of how many are coming,
not how many are not coming. :)
* If you're local to the Chicago area, please respond, as you need to be
included in various headcounts.
* If you're only planning to do 1 or 2 things with the group, please
respond anyway, as you will still be a head that needs to be counted. :)
* You may cancel, change, update, etc. at any time by just sending in
a note to that effect.
Thanks, gang. :)
