" Bitching " Not going to personally attack the person that keeps making reference to " Bitching "
But I will correct the person now..............

#1 Diva Las Vegas is the PREMIER TRANSGENDERED EVENT !! PERIOD ! (Good
thing all the girls in the USA have not figured that out,,,,,yet !

#2 DLV provides not only more events to be involved in, but also the
most fun.

#3 It makes those "TG" Conferences seem like a FEMA meeting in December.

#4 Want more excitement? hold a knitting party at a Biker Bar even more?
Come to DLV!

#5 The reason everyone wants to change the dates ? They know how much
fun DLV is and they don't wanna miss it !!!!

Now then, can you blame them ? It aint bitchin, we're desperate not to
miss it !

Annie;

All I really wanna know is when. I'm already in vegas so getting
here is not a problem for me - nor do I require a hotel. BUT since I
just recently found out about DLV and have only recently come out of
that closet you mentioned - I would like to know when to be there to
enjoy the fun and just maybe make some friends.

Rosaliy (my bitch for now - grin)

Well, I'm probably the one you mean, since I have been mentioning
the topic frequently lately.

Bitching is not uncommon in the t* community. That's an observation
I've made over countless years, going back to the 1970's.

I have my theories on why this happens, but I seem to get into
trouble when I try to explain them.

>#1 Diva Las Vegas is the PREMIER TRANSGENDERED EVENT !! PERIOD ! (Good

I am not arguing with this at all.

We're not for everybody, however. I daresay that 90% of the t* community
is not ready for DLV. DLV is mighty scary to the hardcore groupies and
the regulars on the T-convention circuit, not to mention those stuck
in the closet at home.

>#2 DLV provides not only more events to be involved in, but also the
>most fun.

Again, no argument.

>#3 It makes those "TG" Conferences seem like a FEMA meeting in December.

The mainline T* conventions do serve their purpose. They allow exposure
to the community and guarded public contact. They are, however, very
repetitive and predictable.

There's actually very little bitching now about the fact that we're
considering changing the dates. Most all of the comments here and to
the organizers are in favor of some timeframe other than the one we
originally selected.

I'm getting a little flak about the fact that I'm sticking to my
guns on a few procedural things, but that's no biggie.

I think there have been some comments for and against some of the
proposed timeframes that have been interpreted by some to be bitching.

The bitching that I'm trying to prevent is (primarily) that which would
come from two sources:

1. The bitching that most certainly would come from those who would book
their hotels and find they are astronomical in price or sold out.

2. The bitching that would come from some potential attendees if they
didn't find out in a timely manner that we are considering rescheduling
or they felt they didn't have time to respond.

We owe it to our past and potential attendees to let them know that
there is a problem with the original dates, that we are considering
rescheduling, and to invite input and comments before we do anything.

That will minimize the bitching for items 1 and 2.

Like I said before, some of us will have to face that distinct
possibility. Oh well, I guess those who can't will just have to suck it
up and look at the photos of previous DLV's the way i did when i had to
miss one. Just plan for next year. And whoever said that Annie can't
please everyone, I wholeheartedly agree with that one.

i am a closeted case so maybe this event is not for me -if i were to
come out in vegas it would be in the night with my black dress and
heels.

so my question is could i come part time in some of the events?

Hi:

yes the Diva Las Vegas is very much for you. It is for everyone of us.
If you are deep in the closet or very much out there. We have a
wonderful Big Sister program who is there for everyone who needs help.

We will be there for you. All you need to do is register and ask for a
big Sister and you will have all the help that you need. If you would
like to contact me at cadnild@aol.com i will be happy to discuss all
your plans.
