I'm one third of a dance organizing team. The person who does our
bookings of bands and callers has frequent brain farts. My husband
(3rd part of team) and I have had to make hasty repairs many times. I
try to stay in the loop of email transactions, but that isn't always
possible, depending on how our booker contacts people. I would advise
trying to find whether there is more than one person you could
contact, and copy them all with all your correspondence. Better odds.

What's curious is that in both cases these dances approached me by email (I could understand it maybe if it were the other way around?), we had an exchange where we clarified the dates, etc. and confirmed we were all set. We agreed to connect again with any final questions on program, accommodation, etc. as we approached closer to the date. The first case turned out to be rather comical in their confusion - the second I can't figure out.
