it is so good that you presented the award to Lily Gladstone...a wonderful thing...gives one hope somehow....

Just watched Killers of the Flower Moon. Lily Gladstone is a new heroine for me. How fitting that my long-time heroine, Patti Smith, recognizes her.

Absolutely thrilled that we have the same water bottle.

So cool that you got to present the award and have a nice time at a nice table. I just read this on Tuesday! I’m late. Doldrums post-Iowa caucuses. I enjoyed this visit!

Thank you for this chat, Patti. I was in a bit of the doldrums too and you lifted me up. You always manage to lace together the serious and the light hearted aspects of living this life in complicated times. And to make me laugh. So happy that you checked in with your clean hair, an interesting book and your old coat xo

I love the word doldrums. I haven’t heard it for a long time and guess it’s a perfect word for January! How you cheered up during your description of meeting the stunt team, it was lovely to see. As far as clean hair and different jackets go l really don’t care, just to chat to you is enough and something l treasure. Keep well. Love from London 🙏

Like we're talking on the telephone, I like that. Casual chit chat. I know I know I am a few days late responding. Just taking in missed posts as I get ready for bed.

Need to see that installment of John Wick. Have a nice night or day (depending on when seeing this.)

What a beautiful speech to introduce the wonderful Lily Gladstone - she is such a powerful actress.

I hope that you are staying warm during this Siberian cold spell. It makes me want to hibernate.

Books, tea, an extra blanket and some movies are definitely in order.

Stay warm and hooray for John Wick.

Dear Patti, I love it when my friends call to talk about "stupid shit". Beautiful photo of you and Lily Gladstone. Your words for "Lily" are spot on. Her portrayal of Mollie Burkhart will stay with me for a long time.

I don't love to watch movies with a lot of violence...but I do like John Wick. Somethin about that guy. Meeting the stunt team must have been cool.

Another wonderful moment of just hanging out.

Beautiful. I know you were there for her and that must not be diluted, BUT I have to say, dear woman what a treasure you are.
