It seems that the problem is in Blink/src/AtomShell/process.jl.   The error 
report indicates line 62 there.
So I tried running some lines by hand:

julia> port() = rand(2_000:10_000)   # line 57
port (generic function with 1 method)

julia> p = port()  # line 72
5287

julia> connect(ip"127.0.0.1", p)  # line 76

Sounds like progress.  You might try restarting Julia, and also try the
plotting command a few times.  Blink is known to have a race condition on
startup that sometimes produces this sort of error.
