This almost went into the Frustrations thread.
So things are moving very quickly with my band. We have a big benefit show that about 20 local bands are all playing. It's sponsored by a multi-city radio station, our name was on the radio ads that play all day, it's on the posters, and it's on the t-shirts they made.
About three weeks ago, my drummer asked for our schedule. We needed to know what time we were playing because we're not making money off our music yet and we have to plan around work. No word for three weeks and I told my job I could work in the morning, effectively making me busy til 2:30pm this upcoming Saturday. Well, as it turns out, Murphy's Law takes effect rather quickly.
I got a call yesterday saying we have to be there Saturday by 11am and we play at 12:30. It starts at 12. I told the planner guy about my situation and he said he'd have to drop us, but would give me a call if something happened.
Well, the reason I'm not posting in the Frustrations thread is that I got another call from him today saying four other bands dropped out and we can play after I get off work.
Hey Murphy, I broke your law!
