We had our 12 Hour Telethon last night and it was a major success!!! We were featured the entire day on Stickam.com and gained a lot of exposure for Skittin Across America, as well as many donations! Pictures will be up soon from the Telethon, and video was taken that will be featured on the Skittin Across America DVD. Thank you to everyone who tuned in, it was our last webcast until September 4th, because we are putting our ENTIRE focus towards Skittin Across America. We will still be broadcasting live from LA on July 26th from NowLive.com Studios and July 27th from TheStream.TV Studios, plus streaming our entire trip on SkittinAcrossAmerica.com
We are trying to work with MTVu network for our Skittin Across America project because they are looking for College aged students who are documenting something big this summer with a good purpose. That's exactly what were doing! We need your help, please email MTVu about our Skittin Across America project, please mention the link to our site and tell them why you think they should work with us on this project! castme@mtvu.com
Thanks everyone!

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!!!

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
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
