Fender makes systems that may be a fit with what you need. I've never owned one but these have a pretty good rep amongst musicians I know who play smaller venues and 'folkier' stuff than I do.Here is a link to a small Fender Passport system that weighs in at slightly less than 30 lbs and $400 (Musican's Friend is a catalog company).
I'm not sure if a mic stand and speaker stands are included.

Also, this may be stone-aged advice, but you may just want to record to cassette tape and then transfer it to your computer via your sound card at a later date. Tapes and tape recorders are cheap, rugged and easy to use.There are systems available that will record to a .wav format (I think Marantz makes one) and systems that can record to a .mp3 format. You can also set up your laptop to digitally record using something like Event’s Echo.

I tap off the board control room outs, and send it to my Sony Camcorder. 18bit PCM recordings are then dropped down to the computer via firewire. Strip off the video and you're left with great sounding MP3 stuff.
