Milestone Birthday — Ida-Virumaa

A milestone birthday in Ida-Virumaa means the crew arrives two hours earlier than the schedule says. The venue is rarely near the highway, power is whatever the building was wired for, and the nearest place that stocks a replacement cable is not nearby. We rig for that.

Sound, light and the staging go up the same way whether the room is a restored manor or a barn you have cleared for the evening. The difference is in what the van carries and how long it takes to prove the system before anyone arrives. We test everything twice, because the drive back for a forgotten adapter costs an hour you do not have.
