Three weeks to go:

That's right, just three weeks and two days to go until our big event!

If you just recently joined our mailing list, please catch up on the
recent back mailings, which are on line here:

viewforum.php?f=4

If anyone has any questions or concerns, please let us know!
. . . . .

As of Saturday morning we have 159 individuals registered to attend.
Registrations are coming in about one per day on average.

Activity sign-up starts this week:

Activity sign-up is an important milestone on the road to Diva Las
Vegas. This is when you tell us which of the many optional activities
you want to participate in.

Most of our activities are on what we call a "no sign-up, just show up"
basis, meaning all you need to do in order to attend is to be a
registered DLV attendee.

Several of them, however, require such things as a sign-up, a headcount,
or maybe even a payment in advance.

We take care of this at activity sign-up time.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY - CHANGES IN RECENT YEARS!

On or about Thursday, March 10, everyone who currently holds a valid DLV
2016 registration will receive a special mailing containing an
invitation to sign up for optional activities.

IF YOU ARE REGISTERED FOR DLV 2016 AND DO NOT RECEIVE
THIS BY FRIDAY, SOMETHING IS WRONG AND WE NEED TO KNOW
ABOUT IT!

If this (no invitation to sign-up for activities) happens to you, please
e-mail dlv@divalas.vegas and explain the circumstances.

This mailing will contain the link to your personal Attendee Information
Portal and specific instructions on how to sign up for activities.

If you want to get a jump on things, you don't have to wait for your
e-mail. You can simply return to your Attendee Information Portal (the
link you received when you registered for DLV) at any time after
midnight on Thursday and begin the sign-up process. Just click on the
green "Activity Sign-Up" tile and fill in the screen.

If you change your mind on anything, it's very easy to return to the
Activity Sign-Up screen and make changes.

It's also very easy to see a summary of the activities that you are
signed up for. Just return to the Attendee Information Portal and select
the green "Update Activities" tile.

MyDLV members can sign-up for activities at any time after midnight on
Thursday by clicking on the "Attendee Information Portal" button on the
main MyDLV screen.

New Attendee Welcome and Orientation:

Big thanks go out to those who provided valuable feedback for our
upcoming New Attendee Welcome and Orientation. The comments are on
line here:

viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3366

These will be used as we plan the details of this year's session.

The New Attendee Welcome and Orientation will happen on Monday of DLV
week at 5:00pm. If you've never attended before, we encourage you to
make every effort to attend.

For this year, in addition to those who have never attended before,
we're also inviting those who first attended in recent years but did not
attend a New Attendee session, and those who have attended in the past,
but not in recent years, to attend.

This will be held in the same facility used for our Monday evening
welcome activities. Further info will appear in the Final Attendee
Information.

Did you forget to register?

It's easy to forget and often misunderstood.

If you have not registered and wish to attend, visit this URL:

Please note that registering for DLV 2016 is separate from other things
you may have done such as joining MyDLV or simply saying "I will be
there" in response to a Forum post. If you will be joining us, please
register at the URL above.

Activity news:

Several additional activities have been added to our schedule in the
recent past. Here's a review of some of them. See the summary schedule
at the end of this mailing for a complete list.

On Monday afternoon we'll be returning to the Pinball Hall of Fame,
and all of you Pinball Wizardesses can show off your flipper skill!

Monday evening, of course, is our big Get Acquainted Dinner and Welcome
Celebration, including our Official Group Photo for the year.

On Tuesday morning, for those not doing golf, we'll have the TG Tuesday
Social at The Center.

We'll have several dining options on Tuesday evening, and an excursion
to explore the Linq complex on the Las Vegas Strip.

On Wednesday afternoon, we'll feature U-Drive Exotic Car Racing (yes,
with YOU as the driver!) at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Wednesday will feature dining at either PF Chang or Hofbrauhaus,
followed by our evening at the Erotic Heritage Museum. For those not
doing the Museum, there will be a Mini Dance Lesson at Mandalay Bay.

On Thursday we'll have a special luncheon followed by a Wig and Makeup
Seminar sponsored by Creative Wigs.

Thursday evening, of course, will be our big 20th. Annual Celebration!

We'll have Makeovers at Nordstroms on Friday, followed by dining options
and the return of our Limousine Tour.

Saturday will have several options for dining and entertainment,
centered around Downtown Las Vegas.

More are to come, and a more complete list appears at the end of this
mailing.

What you need to do:

Yes, there's still time to get in on our big DLV 2016 event, but the
clock is ticking, prices for transportation and hotel rooms are rising
and some hotels are selling out.

Here's a basic summary of the steps you need to take if you want to join
us:

1. Register for the DLV 2016 event. You may register here:

http://www.geekbabe.com/cgi-bin/dlv/aip.cgi

MyDLV members may register using the Attendee Information Portal on the
main MyDLV screen.
. . . . .

2. Sign up for activities. See further information above.

. . . . .

3. Make your travel and lodging arrangements.

DO NOT PROCRASTINATE!

Prices are rising and hotels are filling up!

Information about our suggested hotels for DLV 2016 is here:

http://www.geekbabe.com/dlv/dlv2016/2016hotels.html
. . . . .

4. Plan your wardrobe.

Specific dress suggestions for every DLV activity will appear on the
final detailed schedule.

If you have any questions on what is and is not appropriate to wear to
anything, a good place to get an answer is the DLV Discussion Forum.

A good reference, of course, are the photos from prior events, going
all the way back to 1997. You can view these here:

5. Join us and have a great time!

You can "check in" at all of the major DLV activities and many of the
smaller ones. If you have concerns or just want to know exactly how to
meet the group, phone our contact people. The numbers will be included
