@awalczak08: As a Minnesotan, I was glad to see someone else pick up on that. I don't know anyone here who thinks Garrison Keillor is super famous but many of us grew up listening to Prairie Home Companion by way of our parents, so I could imagine native MN people being surprised were Dan to express ignorance of Keillor/PHC. Maybe this is where he got that impression?
Overall I've been fairly surprised how well Dan speaks of Minnesota. Outside of some wild generalizations (as you said, big surprise), he has been mostly positive about his experiences here.
