…travelling with flight cases always needs pre customs checkin…
so that the cases can get a “checked” seal and then need no further custom checks…
for that, u need a decent list of what’s exactly in there…
and all this makes only sense if ur crossing international borders frequently and is kind of a job for itself…
for easy hopping in and out, it’s way easier to take the handluggage solution…
nd then first rule is of course…keep it as small and simple as possible…
so in ur case, i’d say…no problem to comunicate upfront a tech rider with the venues and let them take care of the dedicated stuff u gonna need for performing there…
and as long it’s not too special, it’s only standard procedure for all local event organizers…
no worries to ask for “toys”…as long it’s some common gadget, or standard gear of any kind, they will take care of it…
it’s also a good way to make sure u can extend some kind of whishlist…
on my stage/tech rider there’s always also a bottle of single malt to find…
and yup…backstage is always some decent whiskey waiting for me…
