Christmas Party — Saaremaa

Saaremaa pulls everything an hour further from base. The truck leaves Tallinn before light, the return leg starts after midnight, and every piece of kit you forgot costs half a day. Most venues sit at the end of a gravel track with extension leads that were never meant for a PA, and the nearest place to buy a spare fuse is twenty minutes in the wrong direction.

Budget follows distance and infrastructure. The rig itself costs what it costs; what moves the line is how many crew hours the road takes, whether the room has three-phase, and how much you need flown versus what can sit on the floor.
