Christening — Tartumaa

A June christening in Tartumaa means power from a generator, because the barn does not have enough and the manor's breaker will trip halfway through the meal. December means the van unloads in the dark at four thirty and we carry the speaker stands across ground that froze overnight. The season dictates the schedule, and the schedule dictates the kit.

Every rural venue fights you differently. The nearest hardware shop is forty minutes away, so the truck carries spares for things that have not broken yet. After 5 Events rigs christenings across Tartumaa — sound, light, staging — in buildings that were never wired for a hundred guests standing under one roof.
