Last night in Harlem Summer Mark, Henry, and Randy(he plays the guitar) found out that they could enter a contest and win money and a record deal. so they started practicing. Marked dad said that he had heard better. Any they still decided to enter. The first group went on and they were good. Other groups started to leave they were so good, we decided to stay. During our audition randy started playing asong we did not practice. The judges were acting like we were not even there. After we left the stage, randy told us that his mind went blank and he just started playing. Then two men were trying to get our attention.

They two men said that they heard our audition and they thought it was ok. They offered us a deal to work a club. We agreed. They said they wanted us to come and check out the place. We went with then and it took a while to get there. It did not look anything like a club and we told the men that. they said it was the back. We entered this room and then it all started. They became mean. They made us have a seat and wait for someone to come. Mark noticed that he reconized one of the men from Dutch S. gang. Dutch came out and he did not say much but he scared the boys to death by getting out a gun and shooting a watermelon. We cried and peed on ourselves. He made us write our name and addresses and told us to leave. Henry and Randy jumped up and Mark was so scared he could not move. They began to talk and I jumped up and ran out. We walked all the way home.

HARLEM SUMMER

This week in Harlem summer Mark went to the party. There were a few blacks and there were some whites. A few well known blacks were there. Mark felt uncomfortable at first. Langston Hughs came over and talked to him and he felt fine after speaking with him. Fats came to the party as planned. As I went over to met him Ms. Fauset went to the door also. She had a not so good look on her face. She asked me did I know Fats and before I could answer Fats said that Mark had hired him to play. He played and everyone loved him. But then a lady asked Fats to write a song for her daughter. I guess it made him mad because he started singing a not so nice song about her. Ms. Fauset got mad. As Fats was leaving we talked. He said that he would introduce me to Bumpy Johnson.

In Harlem Summer Assuie (other young man at the Crisis )has been harassing Mark and I just found out that Edie was just a friend but that he likes a girl named Elizabeth. Ms. Fauset Mark's boss invited Mark to party that her boss invited her. At the party there will be some new famous people of there time. Do you remember about Dutch S. if they didn't give him the money something bad will happen well, Marks mom tolled him that there some strange man down stairs. They were watching the house.

One day Dr. Dubois came in the office with Countee Colleen to discuss his poetry. Dr. Dubois also brings many important people to the office like Langston Hugh's and some other. Dr.Dubois came to work one day and tolled everybody that Booker T. Washington had died. Mr. Dubois had some beef with Mr. Washington. Mark invited Fats to the party so they can talk about the problem with Dutch. I wonder what will next?

Harlem summer,
Mark and his father do some pick up work for Mr. Reece. He is a business in Harlem. They go and work at a night club busing talables at Connie's Inn. While there he go to see the great musician. Thats why he wanted to take the job. He wanted to study the greats and make some money.

Mark just heard from Edie that Carb Cakes (a guy that helped fats move some stuff) stole the truck and it's cargo. If they don't return the cargo and the truck then for
every hundred dollars that Dutch lost fats will lose a finger. Dutch was the biggest gangster in N.Y. city.Dutch said they all owe him a thousand dollars. You do the math and fingure out how many fingures that is?
