Next conference I wanna grab a beer and just sit and chat about art for a bit. Deal?<br /><br />Ryan- I'm depressed at how the public school system has failed you (that's actually a close-ish quote from Toby from The Office). ANYhow, great to hear from you! I still have your "Michigan" song among my gazillion songs on my iPod but it pops up every now and then :) We'll (of course!) be missing the L.A. conference too, but are VERY MUCH looking forward to next year's event!Jim Di Bartolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07620158692319824216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18942841.post-17800648285006784352009-07-23T12:56:38.385-07:002009-07-23T12:56:38.385-07:00Jim and Laini,
Holy cow, you're having a baby...Jim and Laini,<br /><br />Holy cow, you're having a baby! Wha...How did that happen!? (I mean, I know how it happened, but...wow!)<br /><br />This is Ryan Hipp (your pal from SCBWI LA) checking in on you. I'm going to be missing the summer conference but I may be going to the Winter conference. Drop me a line, I'd love to catch up. I'm so proud of both of you. Keep up the great work!<br /><br />Ryan<br /><br />p.s. No really, I'm confused how it works. How did that happen?

I dont recall exactly what the due dt is but.. Post em when you get em. We cannot wait to see the cuteness. (not the remodel by the way... though, maybe a few of that would be nice as well.)<br /><br />Hugs all around.jesse joshua watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14441261515223503565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18942841.post-67089836375403389042009-07-02T21:09:28.769-07:002009-07-02T21:09:28.769-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.jesse joshua watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14441261515223503565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18942841.post-3409747714014504612009-07-01T00:37:59.864-07:002009-07-01T00:37:59.864-07:00Aw thanks Ben, for the kind words.

We'll have to try and grab a bite or a beer or something if you (and Almost-Dad-Me!!) have a chance. It'd be fun.<br /><br />And yeah that is me (ish) -- he's got cooler (and more!) hair and a bit more rippling in the muscle department :)Jim Di Bartolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07620158692319824216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18942841.post-62743657285466018262009-06-30T22:04:14.240-07:002009-06-30T22:04:14.240-07:00Also Jim, I'm headed down to your neck of the ...Also Jim, I'm headed down to your neck of the woods in two weeks to the PNW children's book conference thing at Reed college. Anyways, if you see me getting locked up by the police or lying in a ditch somewhere, feel free to let my wife and dog know I'm fine. I love Portland (as I've told you before). I think my favorite city. <br /><br />Arthur's going to be speaking there too so I'm pretty excited to see/hear him too (and everyone else there!).<br /><br />Also, your warm-up looks like you. Was that a self-portrait? The burns, the face? Especially the eyes?BJWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12947302421554392540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18942841.post-79092834190584699842009-06-29T23:26:04.908-07:002009-06-29T23:26:04.908-07:00No worries Jim, you've got PLENTY on your plat...No worries Jim, you've got PLENTY on your plate! Best of luck man with the Professor and being a dad. <br /><br />Cool seeing your adventure in NY. UNBELIEVABLE. Still blows me away how two such talented people got together. Your daughter certainly is going to have some awesome genes and folks to show her cool stuff. <br /><br />I love you artwork. I really do. Even your "warm-up" intrigues me. Can't wait to see much more.<br /><br />Cheers, <br />BenBJWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12947302421554392540noreply@blogger.com
