What do you bring to Tuesday Music in the Plaza?

I was meeting my friend Martin and his girlfriend Kelly from Petaluma for the music in the Plaza this week. But I was rushing to get this magazine online, and I worked until the last minute, then I ran out the door.
Before I ran out though, I remembered to pack a basket with a few things to share: a bottle of wine, a jar of Tierra Vegetables chili jam (mmmm), and some cheese I’d just picked up from the Cheese Shop.
I met my friends on the corner of Plaza and Center but I hadn’t told them to bring anything. I just said I’d meet them. I guess I just assumed that people knew what to bring to the plaza for the concerts. We walked around a tiny bit, but they needed to find something to eat. They set off to decide what they wanted.
I went to the corner of Plaza and Healdsburg Avenue to see if I recognized anybody and waited for Martin and Kelly. I just chatted randomly while I waited.
Martin and Kelly found me again and they had a pizza from the Oakville Grocery. We ended up sitting on the bench on the corner. They ate. I chatted. It wasn’t the most comfortable, but what could we do? I wasn’t prepared to entertain people on the Plaza. I didn’t think ahead.
I thought I could use this week’s entry to ask what you bring to the Tuesday music in the Plaza? Leave a comment. Tell us what you bring.
The first thing on my list: Friends.
We bring wine, wine glasses, a picnic blanket, some crackers, and cheese! Then we look around the farmers market on the plaza and see what else looks good… like some tomales or ceviche. Yum!
