I was by the Cookie Company and heard a woman say to her friend, "Let's go get some cookies and sit outside and listen to this wacky guy playing the ukulele. Oh, look, people are even giving him money. I love this town!" I also saw a flier for a room rental, which apologized at the end of it: "I'm sorry, I know this is Sebastopol. But I am not a healthy eater, not vegetarian and I have a free pass to a yoga studio I never use."
And while walking by Rite-Aid a few days later with a group of people, one commented while looking at her phone:
"Hey, the Apple Blossom festival is on the new moon."
Person walking with her: "I don't think that was planned."
Third person. "Well, you never know around here."
A singer who recently performed here was swigging cherry bark syrup during her performance. She joked in between songs this was the Sebastopol version of a Red Bull.
Guy standing by my car while I was loading some groceries, talking to his friend on speakerphone: "What kind of vibrations are you talking about? Because look where we are. Festival vibes. California vibes. Ocean vibes. West county vibes... Just saying 'vibes' doesn't help."
I was at Papas and Pollos with my toddler niece. We went to sit on a bench and there was a small, thick pillow. "I want to sit on the meditation pillow," she told me.
Several weeks ago I was running late meeting someone so I called to let her know I'd be there shortly. She was waiting in the plaza, and texted me back: "Don't worry, I'm fine. Just sitting here enjoying the sun and a nice contact high."
