Paradise Motel
Suggestion arrived at was for Hotel Paradise, a hotel "off Route 666" -- kitchy 60's hotel off of a highway, the kind of thing that's a slice of Americana. We should incorporate some sort of cheesy "statue of liberty buried in the sand" theme as well as a fake-neon (Mark Brown suggested electroluminescent tape here) signs. The pictures below illustrate it well. We could incorporate our "roadside" theme to include our DJ stuff, friggin' lasers (green ones coming out of the statue of liberty's spikes) and snow-cones during the day, to emphasize our theme. We'll want other DJs to work shifts (as appleJohn will most likely be tired or busy from time to time). I'll be watching Domino spin a set Saturday night to see if we want to invite her to participate.
There will be three RVs. One rented by appleJohn (for appleJohn, Tom, Mark Brown, Chris, Rob and Eric), one rented by Mark Demma, and one rented by Nick Esser and his mother (for... who?)
Here is the logo with kerning adjusted on "Paradise" for Mark's design, as well as lighter embossing:
Older, cracked paint version:
See Signs and Artwork for other examples of the sign.
Some images I grabbed off the internets, ideas of what neon hotel signs could look like:
And some Statues:
Here's the motel in Missoula, Montana:

There is a whole camp run by solar power that hands out snow cones already and getting the ice every day could be a problem

Don't they have daily ice dispersal that you can go get? I never said it was an original idea, just something that people really like.

A quick note: its Motel Paradise, not Hotel. A Motel is a motor lodge ... off the highway, a Hotel is in a city.
