Rehearsal, show, and studio dates — one shared page.
A quick proposal — from Alan, for Mark

The problem

You're carrying the whole schedule in your head — who's in, who's out, which rehearsals are mandatory, when the gig is. The last group calendar got revolted over access. And you're chasing six guys with five other bands, day jobs, and a wedding to lock down a handful of dates.

What I'll build

One page anyone can open in a browser — no app, no login. The whole schedule, color-coded so you see at a glance what's a rehearsal, a gig, studio, or travel. Tap any day and it opens: who's committed, the address with a Maps/Waze button, and what the session's for. It's all below — that's the actual thing.

How it handles who's needed

Every event carries its own commitment level, because not everything matters the same: gigs & studio are mandatory (someone's out → find a sub, and it flags it), rehearsals are flexible, travel is just info. The system knows the difference, so you don't have to hold it in your head.

You stay in control

Everything — the calendar and the data behind it — lives on your UFT Records Google account. You own it. If you ever want out, you revoke my access and keep everything. I just get editing rights to build it and keep it running.

And every band call stays yours — what's a full rehearsal vs. a mini, who has to be in the room. I'm not here to control any of that. I build the system that runs your decisions and chase the logistics of getting the right people there. We'll shape the day-to-day as it evolves.

What it does

What I'd need from you

  • Share a Google Calendar and a Google Sheet from the UFT account with me — specifically to alan@thanksjune.com, not any other address, so it connects to the right account (edit access).
  • Access to set up a subdomain on uftrecords.com for the page (handled securely).

That's it. You own it, and the band's on the same page.

Here's what it looks like
