An Hour Early & A Latte Later
Today I realized that it was not a lack of self-discipline but, in fact, a brilliant idea to leave my bag with sketching supplies lying around in my car!
This afternoon I somehow happened to arrive at a scheduled event one hour (!) earlier than it started — something that doesn’t happen too often, I must say. The venue owner got startled when I stormed in and asked if the event had already started… and then it was my turn to be startled. Well, when everything was sorted out, I ended up walking back to my car — quite confused! — and then I saw the sketching bag, yay!
The venue owner gave me directions to the nearest coffee shop — and this is exactly where I headed: Planta Coffee House, right on Main Street in colorful downtown Pleasanton. I sat outside in a perfect spot with dappled shade, sipping my fancy turmeric latte (yes, I'm one of those people, haha) and sketched the adorable red brick building across the street. I had to work fast to get back to my event in time, but not even a second of this embarrassing mistake was wasted.
