Midsummer Party — Viljandimaa

The van leaves Tallinn at six because the venue is an hour past the last hardware shop, and if a cable fails or a fuse blows, there is no going back. Most Viljandimaa midsummer sites are beautiful and inconvenient: a manor with three-phase power buried somewhere in the stable block, a lakeside barn where the only flat ground is gravel, a farmhouse where load-in means a hundred metres of case-dragging because the truck cannot turn.

We schedule the rig for those realities. Crew arrives early enough to solve what the site does not mention, the DJ or band soundchecks while it is still light, and the bar setup happens in sequence with power distribution so the fridges are cold when the first guests arrive. The logistics dictate the day, and the day starts before the client sees any of it.
