Snarky

You know, if I were to send out a note saying "are you free during any of these time slots on Saturday or Sunday next, for an additional run-through of the play, because we need it?" and got back a reply that said "I'm not available at all on Saturday," the last thing I would expect to get in the following day's mail would be a brunch invitation for Saturday.

(How's that for run-on?)

Problem is, the individual in question doesn't even notice that it was tacky.

If s/he had the sense to hold hir brunch without telling me, I never would have known, and would have merrily assumed s/he was actually busy, like working or out of town or something.

Did the invitation come by physical mail? And was your exchange via email? If so, I can see how this could happen: person sends out invitations for brunch (thus committing to hosting), then gets your email and says "can't do Saturday", and then you receive the invitation that was already in the mail. Of course, ideally the person would have said something like "so sorry, but I've already invited folks over" to prevent misunderstandings, but sometimes people goof.

Nope, email in both cases. Now, perhaps s/he had planned to hold the brunch, hence the unavailability, but had not yet announced it.
