Welcome and updates:

First of all, welcome to those who just registered or just joined
our mailing list. We're looking forward to having you with us in
just three weeks.

Yes, there is still time to get in on Diva Las Vegas 2012, but you
need to act now.

A summary of the steps you need to take if you want to attend DLV
but have not registered yet is on line here:

http://www.geekbabe.com/dlv/roadmap.html

You will need to be registered for DLV 2012 by Sunday, April 1, in
order to get in on the first round of activity sign-up. (See below.)

You can register on line here:

http://www.geekbabe.com/dlv/regdlv2012.html

Important note: When you register you should receive a confirming
e-mail very shortly. IF YOU DO NOT RECEIVE THIS SOMETHING
IS WRONG AND WE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT IT!.

If there are any questions about DLV, please first check our FAQ
list on line at:

http://www.geekbabe.com/dlv/faq/

Over 90% of the questions we receive by e-mail are already answered,
often in depth, in the FAQ. If you have any questions or concerns not
covered in the FAQ, please let us know.
. . . . . . . . . .

Latest numbers:

As of Saturday morning, we have 193 individuals signed up to attend.
Registrations are consistently coming in on an average of about one
per day.

If previously-observed sign-up and show-up patterns continue this
year, we're estimating a total turnout somewhere in the 165-175
range, or about the same or slightly higher than last year.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Activity sign-up:

Next Monday, April 2, we will begin our DLV 2012 activity sign-up.

Activity sign-up is where you tell us which of the many optional
DLV activities you want to do.

Most of our activities are "No sign-up, just show up" and those
don't need any kind of formality to attend, except for the main
DLV registration, of course.

Some of the activities, however, require some type of sign-up,
reservation, headcount, or in a few cases a payment in advance,
and those activities for which some action is needed are included
in our activity sign-up process.

Everyone who holds a DLV 2012 registration will receive their own
personal activity sign-up e-mail early next week.

If you're registered for DLV, please watch for this and please let
us know if you don't receive this by Thursday morning at the latest.

These will be sent out in batches, by registration number, so it's
to your advantage to register as soon as you can if you have not
done so already.

It takes just a few minutes to sign up for activities, and if you
change your mind, for most activities you can simply return to
your personal sign-up screen and make changes at any time until
just before the big event.

MyDLV members may sign up for activities at their convenience by
following the link on the main MyDLV screen. This will appear as
soon as a few details are final, estimated to be Sunday or very
early Monday.

If there are any questions or concerns about activity sign-up,
please let us know.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Things to come:

Between now and DLV, we'll be featuring details of some of our
activities on the Diva Las Vegas Discussion Forum, which is on
line here:

http://www.geekbabe.com/dlv/mydlv/mainforum/viewforum.php?f=2

Look for postings entitled "What is a ..." and "What is the ..."
and similar titles.
. . . . .

The last batch of activity sign-up mailings will be sent out on
Monday, April 16. Those registering on April 16 or after will need
to check on the availability of the optional activities in person
at check-in time.

Wednesday, April 18, 1:00am PDT will be the hard-stop cut-off for
DLV 2012 registration and activity sign-up.

Some activities will have specific deadlines for sign-up, for
cancellation, and for payment. These will be summarized in a
"Deadlines And Cut-offs" posting in the future. Please pay close
attention to the DATES and TIMES of cut-offs, since these dates
and times have been a recurring source of misunderstandings and
disappointments in the past!
. . . . .

Also on Wednesday, April 18, our Large Final Mailing will be
sent out to all registered attendees.

The "Large Final Mailing" will not be that large this year, and
most of it will be contained on the web, with links being sent
via e-mail along with a personal registration and sign-up summary.

The links contained in the final mailing will cover such things
as late notices, changes, updates; maps and schedules; contact
information, checking in, etc.; guests, admission; "Getting there
and getting around" (New for 2012); photography information and
guidelines; details on what to do in case something is wrong; and
various discounts and promotions available to DLV attendees.
. . . . .

When you arrive in Las Vegas, it is not necessary to phone to
let us know that you have arrived, although if you wish to do
so, please feel free. If you have any last-minute questions or
concerns, please phone.

You may check in at any DLV activity noted "Check-in available"
on the final schedule. Don't worry, if the first activity you
want to do does not have check-in, you'll still be welcome as
long as your name appears on the DLV roster. You may just have
to wait to get your name badge and officially check in.

One very important note which is frequently misunderstood or
overlooked entirely:

WHEN YOU ARRIVE AND CHECK IN TO DIVA LAS VEGAS,
YOU WILL RECEIVE NO PAPERWORK OF ANY KIND!

If you need maps/schedules/etc., please plan to print these at
home and bring them with you.

If there are any questions or concerns, please let us know. :)

In Memoriam - Mardi Marlowe:

The Diva Las Vegas community lost a very good friend and loyal DLV
volunteer this past weekend. :(

Mardi Marlowe passed away last Saturday following a sudden stroke.

Mardi has had perfect attendance at DLV since the early 2000s and
has been an active volunteer each year since 2006.

Wheels are turning in the direction of something to memorialize
Mardi this coming DLV, but plans are not final as of this time.
Details will be announced in our mailings and/or in person at DLV.

Danielle's write-up, including a link to a suggested memorial,
appears here:

For those who may be uncertain as to which face goes with the name,
Mardi's MyDLV gallery is on line here:
