Private Party — Lääne-Virumaa

A private party in Lääne-Virumaa means a crew leaving Tallinn before daylight, because the last twenty kilometres take longer than the first hundred. The venue is a barn, a manor hall, a clearing beside a lake — somewhere the power does not run to the room you want, and the van parks a field away from the door.

Decide the date and the rough headcount six weeks out. That gives the rigger time to visit, measure the room, work out what the ceiling will hold and where the generator goes. Everything after that is negotiable. The room is not.
