Chris, why on Earth would you be carrying your gear in? We play 6 nights a week and we never carry gear in - we use these:
http://ts3.mm.bing.net/th?id=I4525569014236606&pid=1.1I have one of those too, but actually, the only equipment I haul in and out is the external hard drive my show music is stored on. Everything else for my two shows is stored onsite.
My Fri/Sat show has dedicated equipment that stays on site and just has to be moved out of the back and side rooms. I can set this one up in 30 mins. I can cut it to 20 if I want to break a sweat. I could do it in 15 if I didn't have to move a pool table and a bunch of tables and chairs to make a "stage area" for the singers. Shut down is 20-30 mins each night depending on how big of a hurry I am in.
My Sun-Thurs show uses the house amps/speakers/lights. My rack mounted PC and case for the mics stay in the DJ booth. On Sunday night is is literally 7 mins from the time I walk in the front door until I can put a singer up. Every other night is about 3 mins since I leave everything in place from the night before. I could cut it to 1 min if I left the PC on over night. Shut down is about 3 mins each night except Thursday when I pack up the mics and wired mic cable and stand.
