Milestone Birthday — Elva

Most milestone birthdays fall in winter, and Elva in January is a room that will not forgive a mistake. Sound dies in thick curtains or bounces off bare glass, the heating struggles by eight in the evening, and the venue that looked fine at three in the afternoon reads completely differently once a hundred people arrive and half the lights go down.

We rig for the room as it will be, not as it appears when it's empty. That means a site visit before anything is quoted, power and load calculations done against the actual panel, and a crew that knows which halls in this town leak heat and which throw every voice straight back at the speaker.
