Quick Vent about my Band

So I'm getting ticked off with the band thing.  First we were going to play a outside fund raiser gig Saturday (this would have been my 3rd time doing this gig) and the weather was calling for rain at 3pm.  I sent a message out to everyone that there is was a 90% chance of rain at 3pm the exact time we were supposed to start.  EVERYONE got the message and sent back to me "Ah were not gonna let a little rain stop us" "What are you made of sugar?"  So we setup as planned.  There was a band that went on before us and in the middle of their set with our equipment around 2pm the flood gates from heaven opened.  We made the fund raiser $5000 and could have lost $15,000 in the process, nothing was insured and I'm not 100% if half our stuff works yet because we had to let it air out.

2nd I'm pissed because I sent a text out about 3 gigs we have in October the 5th, the 20th and the 26th.  Nothing has been said if we had locked these dates in yet.  The guy that books us says "We are locked in on the 20th and maybe the 26th I'll have to check on that."  Our singer chimes in and says "The 5th, and the 20th.  The 26th so in so is moving so we couldn't do it."  I text back "are you for sure the 5th is off the table?"  "Yes the bar got somebody else"  So I thought this is fine as long as I got a week to plan ahead of time because I've got 3 kids to find a baby sitter for and these freaking gigs we've known about for a month or longer.  Today I get a text "Sorry guys I was wrong checked on the 26th and she told me we are playing the 5th." 

Hate to say it but bands suck.  I guess I'm going to have to add manager to my list of hats I wear now, because the one guy who is not employeed by anyone can't keep up with remember to check stuff.  It would be ok if this was the first time, but its not.  Just wished they would listen to me a little.
