PA SYSTEM SETUP but the LOAD-IN gets Increasingly Chaotic

This one didn’t go quite as smoothly as we hoped - loading in was a challenge, we got turned around in the building, and ended up riding the elevator to some unexpected places before finally figuring it all out.
Despite the chaos, we managed to get the gear in, set up the sound system, and the event went off without a hitch.
