1. For-fun emo band; “Bright Ears” owns a small single family detached
house on Musicacre
2. Bright Ears buys an easement from the adjacent neighbor for parking in back
of the neighbor’s house and for the sound of the band
a. Bright Ears sells Musicacre to “The Academy Isn’t”; popularity
grows, style changes to Funk, crowds grow
3. The Academy Isn’t sells Musicacre to Fall in Boys, which acquires another
parcel, adjacent to Musicacre on the other side, for a concert venue and uses
the easement for overflow parking
4. Two easements to CK SBA, one for performance, one for parking; SBA conveys
easement to Clear Channel Media, which organizes a concert by Vampire Weekday
on the property covered by the easement
5. Fall in Boys sells Musicacre to Love Chemical, which knocks down the house
and builds a chromium processing plant and uses the former parking area on the
neighbor’s lot for a waste dump
6. No express easement; Bright Ears just uses the neighbor’s property for
parking and its sound wafts over the neighbor’s property. Easement by prescription?
By estoppel?
7. Bright Ears, The Academy Isn’t, Fall in Boys all disband (so to speak)
and their members go to law school. Ten years later, Stephen Meyer buys Musicacre
and builds a general aviation airstrip on it, using the parking lot covered by
the easement
