Fix up the interview for B. You haven't signed anything with A yet, and they may put off the start date again.
If A come across with the contract (and a firm start date) in the meantime I think you have to go with them.

Delaying A for say a week wouldn't be a killer, explain to B your under a serious time constraint. See if you can get something from that. I did that and they interviewed me at B less than 2 days later.
If not then as most say take A. This isn't really the best time to be gambling with gigs imo.

Can you be honest with B and tell them you've got another offer, so can they interview you PDQ?

take the offer, plus you wouldn't want to be putting on your friends for a long period of time by stopping with them.

Personally, I wouldn't put A off deliberately - if it happens naturally and B is a goer first, then great; if not, then take A and stop whinging about it.
As a complete alternative - get both and exercise your RoS (get someone a lot cheaper!) and make money out of both gigs at the same time.
