Tapas: Wednesday dinner

BARcelona Tapas       201 N Delaware St       317-638-8272

There's a location in St. Louis, so this isn't strictly local, but the menu was a happy find to please a beer snob, foodie, and vegetarian. It is possible to please vegans with the spiced cauliflower, fried artichoke, and even vegan paella. They claim vegan friendly and delivered. Plus, the special was lamb chops, and so the eatery can satisfy a variety of needs. Highly recommended; good beer list and drinks menu. Small plates were generous portions and eminently shareable. The Spanish Tortilla (a spiced potato omelet) and the cheese plate were both excellent.

Happy to see a diverse staff and clientele. Happy hour, wine, sangria, and cocktail menus available. We will return on our own if not during Cs.

Access

I just uploaded my (many, many) slides to the NCTE Connected Community site after viewing the Access Committee's 7 minute video on create accessible materials.  It seemed literally the least I could do to create at least a gesture towards accessibility for all those scholars wanting access but unable (or struggling) to make sense of the conference during the chaos of the meeting itself. And in an important nod to Universal Design, I benefit because I've often felt overwhelmed and sat through a presentation I had not really wanted to because, well, I had made it to session G18, and who knew where session G8 really was anyway?

Not that I did not find hypothetical session G18 valuable. It just wasn't what I had been seeking.

That said, there were only 2 sets of materials, mine and Elizabeth Tomlinson's Client Proposal and Project Assignment Sheet for session A26 listed under Professional and Technical Writing. Tammy and Stacy Nall have their panel's materials posted. G33-- The Stories We Tell: Narratives, Institutional Discourse, and the Public Documents of Writing Centers. They are under Writing Programs (Writing Centers). Only 61 total resources listed at first. Now there are 68! Yay!

It seems the least we can all do is put our presentations, even in draft form, up on the NCTE site. Jay Dolmage and the CCCC Access Committee have made this useful Accessibility guide available as well.
