I saw Frances McDormand and her Coen-brother boyfriend/husband Sat. night at Alias (l.e.s.). She was kinda scruffy-looking (shaggy hair, jeans & t-shirt) and pretty talkative. Coen guy wasn't saying much. They were with another woman. He paid and then they left.

I was there. Not my report though. There are *a lot* of famous (or semi famous) people eating on Clinton street. Wouldn't really make sense to keep track.

But any mention is good...

I keep seeing Patti Smith. I think she's recording in the sound studio on Clinton. Apologies, but I google at her like a moron, no shame, drool and all. She looks steadfastly ahead.

Agreed about the Melk Weg. I cried. It was beautiful.

She used to record on A and 3rd and would come into Desmoines for coffee. She likes those super sweet Doughnut Plant doughnuts.

One of the girls who worked behind the counter once took home a sugar dispenser because it was the one Patti used.
