inUpdate: A coffee spill showed me a missing wall on my plan
Coffee spills are the worst kind of helpful. Happened to me last year with a site plan. Let the paper dry completely before you try to erase the stain, or you'll tear it. A hairdryer on low works if you're in a rush. Maybe do a quick trace of the corrected area on a fresh sheet before the old one gets too brittle? What are you using to fix the line work, ink or pencil?

inFrom salon to sidewalk: what the block party taught me
Paulm95, your point about chasing clippings reminds me of this time we tried a backyard movie night without checking the forecast. A huge gust came out of nowhere and sent the screen flying into the neighbor's pool. Everybody just laughed it off though, and we ended up having a better time because of the chaos. That's the thing with no-plan events, they either go perfectly smooth or totally off the rails, but both ways make for a good story. The lack of pressure lets people roll with the punches instead of getting upset. I'd take that messy memory over a stiff, booked-up party any day.

Maybe for some folks like leowest's grandpa, it's just coffee, but for others the whole ritual is the actual point.
