Frustrated Velvets

It's been a tough week for the Crushed Velvets. Darius (the lead guitarist who is an awesome player) and I had a little fight and I'm upset. I thought he had booked a huge show for the 4th but he apparently didn't ever do it. I thought he said "We are playing Times Square for the 4th" but I asked him yesterday at rehearsal when we need to "load-in" ("Load-in" is an industry term for unloading)("Industry" means whatever industry you are in, we're in the MUSIC industry) on the 4th and he said "what?" I said, "You know, the 4th. For our Big gig." "We don't have a gig on the 4th." "Yeah we do, TIMES SQUARE?!?!?" "No no... I said Let's Go to times square for the 4th... to watch the fireworks." Then Darius started laughing. A lot. That was the hardest part because I just want the Velvets to do so well and I thought we were really making progress. He laughed way too much I think. I just got this booked called "Emotions Revealed" by Paul Eckman. It shows you how to read people's facial expressions to better tell what their true emotions are. I'm only on the introduction but something seemed strange about Darius' face when he was laughing. Like he wasn't just happy. It was weird. I am going to keep reading the book. Anyway, I'm going to Times Square for the fireworks if anyone wants to come. I guess it will be fun.
