Diva Las Vegas starts a week from tomorrow!

You must be registered by tomorrow, April 7, in order to fully
participate in Diva Las Vegas 2013.
. . . . .

All plans are in place, details have been confirmed, and all
Coordinators are reporting that things are ready to go! We are
anxiously waiting to see all of you in Las Vegas!

Thanks to all for the very timely response to activity sign-up
this year!

Please be sure to read the "Deadlines and Cutoffs" section below!
Items listed have been the source of misunderstandings and
disappointments in the past.
. . . . . . . . . .

One significant schedule update. See below.
. . . . . . . . . .

Unless unforeseen circumstances arise this coming week, this will
be the last general mailing prior to DLV 2013.

Big thanks go out to our team of volunteers who have put together
a very complete and rich set of activities for us this year!
. . . . . . . . . .

If you want to attend:

Yes! You can still get on things. However, this is LAST CALL!

If you have not registered for DLV 2013 yet:

Register here:

http://www.geekbabe.com/dlv/rg2013.html

Please pay attention to various deadlines listed below!
. . . . .

If you have filled out the registration screen but have received
absolutely nothing in e-mail:

SOMETHING IS WRONG! WE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT IT, NOW!

Please e-mail us (dlv@geekbabe.com) and explain the circumstances.
. . . . .

If you have registered but not made your activity selections:

Please make your activity selections as soon as possible. If you
have any questions about this, or if things don't work for you as
they should, please write in and explain what is going on.
. . . . .

If you let your activity sign-up lapse or if your registration was
canceled for any reason:

It's easy to un-cancel. If you canceled on the web, you can easily
reverse the process yourself. If you had an activity sign-up lapse,
write in and explain the circumstances and we'll get things back on
track for you.
. . . . . . . . . .

If there are any questions or concerns about attending, please
let us know, and the sooner the better!
. . . . . . . . . .

Latest numbers:

As of Friday evening we have 192 individuals signed up to attend.

This includes 34 SOs, an increase in SO participation from recent
years. We also have 64 new attendees signed up this year, up from
recent years as well.

This could very well be a record-setting year for attendance!
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Special Silent Auction - Penn and Teller:

A silent auction will be held at our Welcome Celebration on Monday
evening for a pair of tickets to the Tuesday 9:00pm performance of
Penn And Teller at the Rio.

This is a $184 value, and will go to the highest bidder.

Funds will be used for the special entertainment ("Buttercup Delight")
at the EHM Reception on Wednesday.

If you're interested in seeing Penn And Teller on Tuesday, please
keep this in mind.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Automated activity reminders:

This is something new for DLV 2013, and it's considered experimental
at this time.

We have methods in place to send reminders (15 minutes to two hours,
your choice) to your e-mail or text-capable cell phones for the DLV
activities you select.

You can set these up from your main registration screen. Use the
link sent to you to update your registration. You should have
received this very shortly after you registered. The button to
set up activity reminders will be toward the lower right.

An instructional walk-through on setting up reminders is on line
here:

http://www.geekbabe.com/dlv/dlv2013/remtut/index.html

Please give this a try and let us know how it works. Please let us
know of any difficulties or concerns you have about it.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Arriving and making contact:

For those who are registered, all you need to do is to show up at
one of our activities. There's no permanent check-in desk for DLV.

You can check in at any activity marked "Check-in available" on the
final schedule in the Large Final Mailing.

If the first activity you want to attend does not have check-in
available, don't worry. As long as you appear on our roster you
will be admitted. You may just have to wait in order to check in
officially and get your name tag.

Diva Las Vegas volunteers will be on site early at all of our major
activities and standing by to greet you. If for any reason you have
any difficulty locating the group, find a phone and give us a call.
Contact numbers will appear in the Large Final Mailing.

If you have any concerns about meeting the group or checking in,
please phone any of our contact people, whose phone numbers will
be listed in the Large Final Mailing.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Our Large Final Mailing:

On or about Wednesday, April 10, we will be sending out our Large
Final Mailing to all who are registered for DLV 2013. Please look
for this, and if you do not see it in your inbox by Thursday morning
at the very latest, please write in and let us know.

The Large Final Mailing will be different from some previous years.
Most of the material will be presented as a set of links to the
content on the web. If any of these do not work correctly or if
anything is uncertain or unclear, please write in and let us
know.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Special Off-Schedule Pre-DLV get-together:

On Saturday evening, April 13, a group of DLVers will be getting
together, informally, for cocktails, dinner and some socializing.

Yes, YOU are invited!

Details, including location and time, will appear in the Large
Final Mailing this week. Boymode or girlmode. No sign-up, just
show-up.

Please remember that this will not appear on the main schedule!
Look for it in the Large Final Mailing this coming week.
