Graduation Party — Ida-Virumaa

The van parks in wet grass because there is no other place for it. The barn has power, usually, though the breaker is in a shed fifty metres away and the run from there to the PA is your problem. Fifteen minutes to find a landlord with the key, another twenty to pull cable across ground that has no path.

A graduation party in Ida-Virumaa means a stage that goes up where cattle stood last week, lights rigged from beams not built for them, and a mixing position that cannot see the stage because the room was not designed for this. Everything is hauled, tested and locked before a single guest arrives.
