Monday I entered the MadTV Contest on IF.net, and I'm currently in 1st place! There's still 44 or so days of voting so please keep voting and thank you all for the continued support (information on voting is in the blog below). Monday evening Drew Roberts came down from Orlando and we shot footage for his intro in "Skittin Across America" (www.skittinacrossamerica.com), and it turned out great. Also featured in this clip was Ryan Sylvester (Bassist - Black in the Mind) and he plays a really funny role!

Tuesday I went out to eat with my mother, sisters and girlfriend...Red Lobster mmmm...Great time, love spending time with my favorite women in the world ;)

Wednesday I shot for the Disney Video at the Polynesian Resort in Orlando! The shoot was very quick, started around 9AM and I was out by 11AM. Good times :)

Today I actually had the opportunity to audition for a role on CW's "ONE TREE HILL" as a walk on role, my agency filmed me and I'll let everyone know how that turns out...keep your fingers crossed!

This weekend I am going to be the best man in my buddy AJ Gallant's wedding. AJ was my former wrestling training and current member of band "LOST IN CHAOS". You can read a blog about them in an earlier post. AJ's a great friend of mine and it's an honor to be his best man.

My crazy weekend!

So this past weekend my friend Ryan Sylvester's (Bassist - Black in the Mind) good friend Bowen Staines and three of his friends came down from Savannah, GA to stay at our place for the weekend. Bowen is a pro skater and a filmmaker and him and his crew were premiering on of their movies at our Townhouse/Studios friday night, and ended up actually filming a lot of footage for their future DVD after the screening. Lets just say we had a good time :)

Saturday, we took Bowen down to Lake Wales Skate Park and he did a little skate sesh with Scotty Trimmier and I filmed it and it will be featured in the Skittin Across America DVD. This DVD is going to have everything that anyone could ever want to watch. Drew Roberts came down also that day and we filmed some additional footage for the INTRO of the DVD, and the ending of the DVD. I'm almost done with the rough cut of the DVD, then I need to go back and add music, transitions, effects...the boring stuff.

Sunday Bowen and his crew left early and I spent the day editing Skittin and filmed something for an audition, more news to come soon :)

So yea it was a great weekend, check out Bowen Staines MySpace at the link below...

Friday Night like I said in my last post I helped with the new Black in the Mind Photoshoot, check out their myspace soon for the pictures. www.myspace.com/blackinthemind

Saturday I went to the beach for my buddy Garrett Bryant's Birthday. If you don't know Garrett he makes up 1/2 of "Crispy Punk TV", which is another Internet Based Sketch Comedy Group from around here. They will be featured on our Skittin Across America DVD, and have helped us out tremendously in the past with "Wooden Steel LIVE!" Webcasts and will when in starts back up in October. Check out their stuff at www.myspace.com/crispypunktv

Today I had another "SAK COMEDY LAB" Class. Almost done with my Level 3 class, and today I found out that I will be advanced on to Level 4 once this class is over in 2 weeks. Then after Level 4 I can start shows at SAK, YEAAAA BOY! When I got home from Orlando (SAK) around 6PM I grabbed a bite to eat, threw some clothes in the laundry and began some editing of Skittin Across America, which is what I'll get right back to doing after I finish this blog. It's turning out so awesome, I really cant wait for everyone to see it... www.skittinacrossamerica.com

Here's a Random picture I found of me today getting beaten up at my old FXE Wrestling Stompin' grounds by TOM LAWLOR. Tom used to be a buddy of mine at FXE, and now he's a part of SPIKE TV's New "The Ultimate Fighter Season 8" Currently airing on Wednesday Nights at 10PM EST on SPIKETV. You will see Tom's first fight this Wednesday Night as he will try to fight his way into the house...Check out Tom's online blog at www.tomlawlor.net

My Friday Night...

So what did I do on my Friday Night? Well I'll just tell you then show you in some fancy iPhone pictures. I took part in helping with a new Black in the Mind Photoshoot (www.myspace.com/blackinthemind) that took place in my townhouse/studio and at a warehouse in town.

Skittin Across America Editing Progress

For those that don't know I just finally began editing Skittin Across America Monday. I know your probably saying, "BUT YOU WENT ON THAT TRIP BACK IN JULY, AND YOUR JUST NOW STARTING TO EDIT IT?!?!!"...Don't fret, there is reason to this madness.

1.) I moved, and that took up alot of time.
2.) Good DVD's require an editing outline of sorts, and that took some time.
3.) I'm still trying to find a good charity to get the proceeds of this thing to, but it's a lot harder than you probably think!
4.) We're trying to gather good music for this thing, which is taking a lot of time.
5.) We just got done with the narration footage last Thursday, and we still have some more additional scenes to film. We have an intro scene that's going to blow your mind! In a funny blowing up kinda way.
6.) I'm trying to get publicity on our Story, and it's harder than I thought. I mean it's a really good story, does anyone know a media outlet that may be interested in covering it?

But yea, so I finally have started editing it, and it's kinda scary. Scary in that this is such an amazing project that I have in my hands that I'm now editing, and I want to make sure that I make it AMAZING! But roughly 20 mins into the DVD at a very raw state, it's looking pretty awesome. Can't wait till I can say It's all done and now we can have a DVD Release Party, by the way that's also in the planning ;)

For more information on our Skittin Across America DVD please visit: www.skittinacrossamerica.com

If you guys ever have any questions for me for my blog I'd love to answer them...email me at shanehartline@aim.com

Much love,

Shane Hartline meets DISNEY?!?!


Yes you heard right...and no the world hasn't been sucked into a black hole. There may be a possibility that Shane Hartline may come in connection with Disney. It's not all that bad though. Today I had another audition through my new agency, and it was for a role in a new Disney Video where I play a small part as a Surfer. I felt like I did pretty good in the audition, we'll see how it turns out. As an actor trying to build a resume you have to take whatever you can get, and I was darn happy to take this. So go ahead and bash me or whatever, but I'm dang happy to have said I've auditioned for the dang mouse...and all his glory.

Other than that today, nuthin...but I will show you this nasty rock...



Love,
Shane....or as my buddy Garrett likes to say..."Shen"

We'​re curre​ntly looki​ng for good music​ to be featu​red on our Skitt​in Acros​s Ameri​ca DVD. It can be ANY KIND of music​,​ there​'​s all kinds​ of scene​s that many diffe​rent genre​s would​ fit in our DVD. So if you know of a band that'​d be perfe​ct pleas​e messa​ge us their​ MySpa​ce and conta​ct infor​matio​n so we can get in touch​ with them and make it happe​n!​

Incas​e you haven​t seen the Skitt​in Acros​s Ameri​ca DVD Trail​er you shoul​d reall​y check​ it out at www.skitt​inacr​ossam​erica​.​com

Today was kinda a crummy day. Last week I auditioned for a Lead Role in Paramount Pictures Road Trip 2...yea pretty awesome right? So my agents filmed me and sent off the tape, and I felt really confident. My agents we're rolling the entire time and they said that I did really good. Found out I didn't get the callback audition. It's the business I'm trying to get in though, 99% rejection, but when that 1% finally comes through I know it'll be sweet. But for my first audition I think a Paramount Picture sounds pretty rad eh?

Much Love,
Shane

SAK Comedy Lab Class Today + More

I had my SAK Comedy Lab class today, I'm currently in Level 3 of classes. Once I am complete with Level 4 I might possibly start doing shows there. SAK is where Wayne Brady and many other famous comedians got their starts, and it's by far the biggest place for Improv in the state of Florida so it's truly an honor to train on it's stage. If you've never been to a SAK show you really should, check out their website www.sak.com for their show schedule, they almost have a show going on every night of the week.

Just got done capturing the footage from the "one on one narratives" we shot Thursday for the Skittin Across America DVD. I will finally start the process of piecing all the footage together tomorrow. Shouldn't take me too long to get something together, we are working on a possible VERY BIG DVD Release Party for the DVD that will truly blow your mind but I want to wait until something is set in stone before I make the announcement, but keep checking in on here, MySpace, www.woodensteel.tv and www.skittinacrossamerica.com for more info!

To end this blog, I'll post a funny picture that was taken of me friday by my boy Scotty Trimmier, check out his FLICKR. And yes I tried to look as creepy as possible...

Lost in Chaos at HOB Tonight!!!


Great time at the House of Blues tonight. My boys Scotty, Joey, and Wacky and Myself tore up the dance floor for my buddies AJ Gallant and Matt Bentley's band "LOST IN CHAOS". The bands drummer couldn't make the show sadly, he had to go to the hospital right before the show so the band was forced to do an acoustic set. We made the best of it and not to toot my own horn but we had a hand in getting the crowd into the band ;) Check out Lost in Chaos on MySpace at: http://www.myspace.com/lostinchaosmusic

Until my next entry Good Night Folks, I gotta wake up and go to Orlando for my SAK Comedy Lab Improv Class...I love you all - Shane

ShaneHartline.com + More!

Incase you didn't know you can put in SHANEHARTLINE.com now and you will be taken to this official blog. I will be updating it a lot more from now on so please check back and leave as much feedback as you can, it's a great inspiration to keep posting ;)

I've moved into a new Townhouse with two of my buddies. Scotty Trimmier whom most of you know that is a part of Wooden Steel Productions with me and also one of my best buddies, and Ryan Sylvester who is the bassist of Florida Band "Black in the Mind". Last night we threw our first "get together/shindig" at our house, turned out really awesome. A lot of people came out, we danced, we laugh, we cried, people fell down the stairs...funny times.

Tonight I'm going to be going to a concert at the House of Blues in Orlando, FL. Personal friend of my AJ Gallant who is playing for band "Lost in Chaos" will be playing there, will be cool to see them at the HOB. Friends will be joining me, and moshing will occur. Hopefully small children will stay out of my way.

Skittin Across America is coming along nicely. We're still in desperate need of press and a charity to work with. It's really hard to find one that fits the project we're working with. We're trying to get connected with a really awesome charity and I'll keep everyone up to date on that. We filmed our one on one narratives for the DVD this past Thursday, and they we're freakin' hilarious. I'm telling you this DVD is going to be amazing. www.skittinacrossamerica.com

I had my first audition last week with my agency "The Diamond Agency". It's really big part and callbacks are weds. I haven't heard anything yet but please pray for me and keep your fingers crossed. I felt I did really good in the audition. I'll let you know more about the audition in time.

If there is anything you'd ever like for me to talk about in my blog feel free to email me at ShaneHartline@aim.com or leave a comment after the posts :)

I have returned from Skittin Across America filming!

Yep everyone, after two weeks of touring the country with my bros Scotty and Drew we are finally home and with over 20 hours of footage later, we can say that we are without a doubt going to put together one of the biggest DVD's in the history of Sketch Comedy. One of the biggest in that there has NEVER been another Sketch Comedy group to do what we have done!

Some of the most memorable things on the trip for me could range from making Will Sasso crack up in a sketch that I did with him or hanging out an entire day with Raab Himself and his friends, but your going to just have to wait and see the DVD to truly understand why this trip was amazing!

I want to thank everyone that contributed their time, effort, and money to help us take this trip. There are too many to list, so I'm just going to say you know who you are and you are loved, tremendously ;)

It's going to take many months to try to get this thing off the ground, and also we are going to try to get this thing with a distribution company so we can make a bigger impact on the charity we soon decide to work with.

Get ready everyone, the Skittin Across America DVD is going to be great, I guarantee you that and should be ready for the Holiday Season :)

Keep updated on the status of the DVD, the charity we choose to work with anything you may need to know on a soon to be re-designed www.skittinacrossamerica.com

I love you all,
Shane Hartline

Day one of Skittin Across America complete!!!

After a grueling, sleepless train right to Philly (over 12 hours, which wont even be our longest)...it all paid off. Day one in Philadelphia was more amazing than we could have imagined. Keep updated on our MySpaces for Pictures of our Journey (www.myspace.com/woodensteel or www.myspace.com/skittinacrossamerica)

We met up with Raab early in the day, filmed an amazing sketch then had the awesome opportunity to meet up with Jess Margera from CKY recording music in the studio with his new band "Viking Skull", and we had a chance to sit and talk with him about his current project. Then that's when it got crazy! Lets just say we had a good time with Raab in the only way he knew how, which led us downtown wearing life preservers and crazy costumes. You'll be able to see all of this on the Skittin Across America DVD, and much more! It's only day one, it can only get better from here!

Rip Malibu returns, Done with College, MORE!!!

Last night at the FXE "Crush Live" event when I was scheduled to do my normal "Malibu's Most Wanted" Interview segment, Jalapeno Montana III, someone I've wrestled numerous times in the past, came out as the crew was setting up my segment and ripped apart my set and props and began ripping at me about how I "quit wrestling" and how I was a "nobody", so I came out and challenged him to a match, because you know why? That's how I roll! I hadn't wrestled a match in a year and a half, but I didn't care.

So later in the evening Rip Malibu returned to wrestling for one night only, I had to avenge my honor. It was a really hard fought battle with a lot of back and forth action and at the end of the match when I was going to hit him with my finisher, he cheated by raking my eyes, and got a quick pin and also pulled up my shorts for some extra leverage. So basically Jalapeno had to cheat to beat me, pretty sad. Either way it felt really good to wrestle a match again. Is Rip Malibu back full time? No, but nobody says I can't come back every now and then for fun. Thanks to everyone who came out to the event last night in Orlando, I should have some photos soon!

My buddy Dave (sk1ppy16 from Stickam) came in from Texas to check out this show, it's been a blast hanging out with him and just having a crazy weekend! Check out my MySpace soon for pictures www.myspace.com/shartlinemyspace

I'm finished with College FOREVER!!! YES!!!

Skittin Across America is coming up fast, we have 2 more fundraisers. This coming friday is another Improv Show at the Toy World Cafe 205 Park Ave Lake Wales, FL.

Quick thoughts from Steel Stock 2008...

Seriously Steel Stock tonight was one of the coolest things I've ever seen, we had over 100 people come out and a lot of people contribute their time to help us with our Skittin Across America venture. Pictures will be posted soon as well as video Im sure, I just wanted to thank everyone again...Thanks to all the amazing bands for tonight Terra Terra Terra, you guys ended the show amazingly. Black in the Mind as always you guys put on such an amazing show and I had so much fun listening and jamming to you guys! Denounce the Betrayer, it was great to finally see you guys live...you guys do what you do amazingly! The Fall Affair, we couldn't have had a better band to kick off Steel Stock 2008, thank you!

Be excellent to each other,
Shane

Black in the Mind Video Release + More!

First of all I wanted to give a congratulations to my girlfriend Jeanette Hicks, she retired yesterday as a Florida FFA State Officer and give a crowd of around 3,000 people one heck of a speech, she could really be president one day if she wanted to.

I have finished editing the Black in the Mind music video and it will be released THIS WEEKEND!!! We will be doing a premiere of the video at "Steel Stock 2008" this Saturday Night at The Toy World Cafe (205 Park Ave. Lake Wales, FL). If you don't know about Steel Stock yet your missing out. What it is is it's going to be a fund-raiser event for our Skittin Across America project we have going on at www.skittinacrossamerica.com and Central Florida's Biggest Bands Terra Terra Terra, Black in the Mind, Denounce the Betrayer and The Fall Affair have all agreed to donate their time to help us with our huge nationwide project. The event only costs $5.00 to enter and trust me we promise that it's going to be a great show! We will be filming it for our Skittin Across America DVD, it will be streamed live on www.woodensteel.tv/liveshow.html and we will also be doing a live "90s Back" performance! ALSO...we will finally be selling our highly anticipated "THREE GUYS ONE AWESOME TIME DVD", so be sure to bring $10 to pick up a copy of that!

Now if you can't make it out to Steel Stock we will be releasing the Black in the Mind video online on Sunday so keep a lookout at www.woodensteel.tv throughout the day for it. The video itself took 6 months from beginning to end to produce and it's one of the best things we have put together, I'm really excited about getting it out there and hopefully start doing more bands music videos.

I only have three days left of school....forever...and then I'm done! That's scary

Much love,
Shane

My Lake Wales News Coverstory, New Videos, MORE


Hey everyone, hope your all doing great! Sorry I haven't been updating this thing like I used to, I've been crazy busy since I got home from the Big Shot Live Trip, so I'll try to cover everything I've been into...

I'm currently the coverstory of the Lake Wales Newspaper, if you can't pick up a copy to see my awesome picture (hehe), then please check out the article online... (CLICK HERE TO BE TAKEN TO THE ARTICLE)

Last friday night I had another Improv Comedy Show at the Toy World Cafe in Downtown Lake Wales. I ended up hosting/performing in the show, and we really ended up having a great turnout. The show was great and some of my fellow SAK Improv Classmates came down from Orlando to do the show, great times were for sure had.

Saturday and Sunday I spent filming. Saturday I filmed for a new Big Shot Live video which I will get to later and Sunday I filmed for a new contest video. The contest is on YouTube and it's for the Schick Quattro Titanium, you can check out our video now but the voting will not start until March 25th, (CLICK HERE TO BE TAKEN TO THE VIDEO)

I've been working a lot lately with a local upstart film group named joey (KAHM) Productions consisting of Joey Kahm, Garrett Bryant and a few others. They are really cool talented kids, and I've been really psyched to work with them. You can catch them very often now on our "Wooden Steel Live" Episodes every Thursday Night at 10pm EST on www.woodensteel.tv or check out their very own MySpace at myspace.com/joeykahmsmyspace

Like I said earlier I spent this past Saturday working on a new video for Big Shot Live. But why you may ask? Because I have a chance to go BACK to Hollywood! My video is being uploaded today and I will give everyone all the information in a separate blog on how they can help me go BACK to Hollywood for another episode of Big Shot live and bigger and better opportunities!

Other than that if you ever have any questions please message me on my MySpace, the link is on the right side of my blog!

What's goin on...

Hey guys I haven't been updating this thing as much as I used to and I will try to change that. What's going on in the life of Shane Hartline?

I'm signed up to start taking some lessons at SAK Comedy Lab in Orlando, it's an 8 week course and if I do good I guess that I'll start doing shows there on Friday Night which would be amazing! I used to watch shows up there when I was younger, and it'd be great to work with those guys.

There will be no Webshow this Thursday Night because I will be doing some filming for an upcoming Music Video I am producing for Black in the Mind, I will be at the Florida Citrus Festival in Winter Haven, FL filming for BITM. They will be a part of the Battle of the Bands, it all starts at 7PM so you should come check it out!

I just got done counseling for my Youth Groups Winter Retreat this past weekend, and I also did 4 skit performances as well. I'm still really exhausted from it all, but it was a really great time for myself and the kids, God was deff hard at work as well.

I've started back classes at Polk Community College. I'm currently taking Drawing/Composition, Logic, Human Development and College Success. All elective classes, which is great. I should be done with my 2 year degree by the summer! YAY!

HEY WRITERS STRIKE....END ALREADY!

I got an iPhone, it's amazing...and the plan we worked out was cheaper than my last phone plan which makes it all better.

Our DVD is still in production and will be out by the end of this month or early February...it's gonna be a great buy!

I will be making another appearance at FXE Wrestling "Crush Live" January 26th. It's at the National Guard Armory in Orlando, FL if you don't have anything going on that evening you should come out, FXE puts on an amazing show. Fore more information visit myspace.com/fxewrestling

That is all folks, until next time...

We recorded the episode, but are having technical difficulties with the recording right now, and we are working on that, hopefully we will get it working soon. We want to thank everyone, we started this thing back in March with only like 20 viewers, and now we are rocking hard!

If you haven't yet gotten the chance to see Wooden Steel Live you can catch it every Thursday Night at 10pm EST - 7pm PST at www.woodensteel.tv/liveshow.html

Thanks again everyone,
