...WITHOUT WHOM THIS ISSUE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE DECEMBER 2012/JANUARY 2013 Tim Klein Credentials: Tim Klein discovered photography while on a middle school trip to Germany, where he purchased his first camera to capture each moment. His work has appeared in Fast Company, Smithsonian, The Atlantic, Marie Claire, and more. Behind the story: "It was a very fast trip: I was up at sunrise to shoot "The Vines That Bind" [page 106], then I was given a tour of the facility, and I was back on the road by 1 PM. We raced to the airport and got to our gate only to find Tony Terlato on the same flight back to Chicago." Chicago loves: "I love how it is such a large city; I run into people I know constantly, but I am still meeting new people." Kerry Reid Credentials: A contributing writer for the Chicago Tribune, Kerry Reid's work has fre- quently appeared in the Chicago Reader, American Theatre, The Village Voice, and more. Behind the story: "I was touched to hear so many people associated with the Joffrey talk about how much The Nutcracker [page 114] meant to them as the last piece that Robert Joffrey worked on." Chicago loves: "I love the gutsy way that artists make the craziest Kelly Rowland Credentials: propositions come to glorious idiosyncratic life. And I have never found the words to describe how it feels to walk along the lakefront with that heavenly skyline soaring into the clouds." A songwriter, recording artist, and actress, Kelly Rowland grew up in the spotlight as a member of multiplatinum-selling R&B group Destiny's Child, which had four No. 1 singles on Billboard's Hot 100 Chart and has sold more than 60 million albums world- wide. She has also acted on television's Single Ladies, Eve, and Girlfriends and appeared in the 2012 hit film Think Like a Man. A Grammy-winning solo artist, Rowland's fourth album, Year of the Woman, will be released in 2013. Behind the story: "Interviewing Jennifer Hudson ["Stronger than Ever," page 102] made me realize why we became such good friends in the first place. She is such a real woman—and that girl knows her way around the city of Chicago like she knows the Bible!" Chicago loves: "The food is incredible." 28 MICHIGANAVEMAG.COM Rachel Gillman Credentials: Rachel Gillman writes about entrepreneurs and the restaurant industry for NBCChicago.com's Inc.Well blog, gluten-free dining for Serious Eats: Chicago, and more. She has also appeared as a guest on Check, Please! and been featured as a dining expert on CBS Sunday Morning and WGN. Behind the story: "While I initially pegged John Tolva [page 53] as a gadget guy, I was surprised to find out he doubles as a DJ." Chicago loves: "There is always another restaurant to try; right now, my favorite things include the Lower Door cocktail at RPM Italian, the frites at The Publican, and the sushi at Yuzu."
