Company Summer Days — Saaremaa

The ceiling matters first. A glass-walled conference room throws sound straight back at you; a barn swallows it into the beams. Saaremaa summer-day venues sit in fields, in manor courtyards, beside water — rarely in town, never with parking underneath. The crew leaves Tallinn before six, because the last hour is gravel and the van does not know the driveway.

Power is the second question. Country venues promise it, but the box is fifty metres from the marquee and the circuit is older than the building. We carry what the room will not give us, and we carry more cable than the map suggests.
