Hell’s Kitchen is an American-style restaurant in downtown Minneapolis. We left before the live music started but it was good eats.
Elizabeth Wein is an author I occasionally wax rhapsodic about here. You should read her books.

Day 2 of my trip to Minneapolis to the NCTE convention... even though this is the third comic page.
Richard McGuire’s Here truly is mind-blowing. He’s been working on it for a long time but I had never heard of it before this weekend.
Craig Thompson on the other hand is one of my favorite cartoonists. If you haven’t read Blankets, Goodbye Chunky Rice, Habibi, or most recently, Space Dumplins, get on that. Also you can check out some of the cool doodles he did in our books at CXC this past fall.
Cece Bell wrote the tremendous graphic novel El Deafo.
A little more of Day 1 and the beginning of Day 2 of my trip to Minneapolis to accept my Teacher Award for Literacy and attend the NCTE convention.
Ms. Clinton was at the NCTE convention to talk about her new book It's Your World: Get Informed, Get Inspired & Get Going! and like I said, she's a great public speaker... especially through the dreaded "Q&A" portion of the event which is often the kiss of death for even the most informed and literate of people. I suppose it helped that the assembled crowd was composed mostly of English teachers, which seemed to smarten up the average Q&A question up by about 40%.
Burch, the restaurant where we had dinner was amazing. Highly recommended.
