Rant: my budget PA speaker died right as the HOA president grabbed the mic
We were 20 minutes into our block party on Sycamore Street when the hand-me-down PA speaker cut out mid announcement. The HOA president was about to thank the taco truck guy, and instead we got dead silence and 40 neighbors staring at us. I ran home, grabbed my kid's karaoke machine from a closet, and plugged the mic into that. It actually worked fine for the rest of the night, but the thing beeped every time someone's phone got near it. Does anyone have a cheap backup plan that isn't hauling a whole second setup?

20 minutes in and the speaker taps out, of course it did. My backup plan is usually just yelling louder and hoping nobody notices, which works about as well as you'd guess. Maybe keep a cheap little bluetooth speaker in the garage for next time?
