Last night was the Cruise-in at the Lincoln Highway convention and I promise that I will have more to say about it soon when I have a bit more time.  However, for now just let me say that I had tons of fun and my two favorite parts were finally picking up a copy of Brian Butko’s book The Ship Hotel: A Grand View along the Lincoln Highway and also getting to meet Cece Otto from American Songline!  More on both of these later…

So, as today is my birthday I thought I’d share a little present for us all.  For many years I have enjoyed the work of artist Jodee Rose and have asked her to paint quite a few things for me and my business.  I love her work and her style so I recently asked her to recreate something very near and dear to me.  Yes, of course it was the Grand View Ship Hotel!  If you’re interested in having Jodee create something wonderful for you just follow this link to her blarg (blog) where you’ll find lots of fun stuff and her contact information, too.  Thanks, Jodee!

And so, I give you our present!  (Be sure to click on the picture to see it full-sized, it’s awesome!)

Until we meet again, here’s to the Ship Hotel, and here’s to you, too…
