We're proposing the timespan of Wednesday, October 14 thru Sunday, October 18, for Pinkfest 2015. A call for comments on this proposed timespan is now open here:

For those who don't know what Pinkfest is, it's often described as a spin-off of DLV, although there's no official connection between the two events.
Like DLV, Pinkfest is a "vacation, not a convention", which occurs each October in Chicago. If you've attended DLV, you will definitely see some familiar faces at Pinkfest.
Of special note this year, there's a movement to obtain some very nice and affordable accommodations right in the heart of the action!
