As all my jobs are set up and rip down when finished I don't like spending too long setting up. I have designed my system to be light and easy to set up so that most places I can be up and running in about 30-40 minutes including disco lighting all on my own, and at 67 years old I don't think I do too bad. Although I still usually arrive about an hour before I start just to be on the safe side and get a pint in first

i hear yah Roy! i do the same thing, it takes me 1/2 hr.setting/ teardown
since all my gears are in a custom built roadcase that i built myself, i usually get in 1hr. before the show,since the karaoke room is separated from the other rooms i can do all the sound checks wihout bothering anybody..and by them i had just about enough liquid courage to get on goinggggg..
