Product Launch — Pärnumaa

A product launch in Pärnumaa puts you an hour from Tallinn and twenty minutes from the nearest hardware shop when something breaks. The venue is usually beautiful and almost never built for a stage rig — manor house, barn, estate lawn. The crew starts earlier because nothing is where it should be. Power comes from a generator or a supply rated for a kitchen, not a sound system. Parking is gravel or grass, and if it rains the day before, the van does not make it to the door.

Those constraints move the cost more than the guest count does. A larger rig in town can be cheaper than a small one here, because here the diesel and the backup plan and the site visit are not optional.
