And I didn't mention that I like to allow about 30 - 45 minutes longer 
than I think it is going to take to set up the show as my arrival time 
for at least the first week or more. Until the set up becomes 
semi-automatic I like to have that extra time. Once it I am used to the 
set up time, I don't like to arrive with any more than 15 minutes extra 
(set up time plus 15 minutes) prior to the time they will let the 
audience in. Even if I am in the area, I will find something away from 
the venue until it gets closer to the time for me to set up. The 
exception of course is if something broke at the last place and I 
couldn't fix it before loading out.
