My Marine Corps buddy is in town...

So, Yoseph Henry, my buddy from Iraq who was a Marine, is taking his vacation here in Sunny Socal and staying with me and Joanie. It's been a good time so far. The last 2 nights we went to karaoke, watched some movies, caught up on the good and the bad, and now tonight we're headed to have some sushi with another musician friend (OH I didn't tell you-Yoseph is maybe the best singer I know-that's real) and then we're going to watch my friend Eddie Hudson's band "Paper Mache" at a house concert with another cool band, "Goodnight and Goodluck" in Murrieta. Tomorrow LA...

We need a sponsor for an album/documentary

This is a crazy request-but basically me and several of my musician buddies want to rent a beach house/Bel Air mansion/BevHills mansion/Hollywood Hills mansion for a week ($), bring in recording equipment and camera crew to record an album and a documentary (have the people but still $), stock the place with food and drink ($), book gigs at select LA venues each night, have a limo or bus for transportation so no driving on our part($), also spend one of the nights in Vegas and let the transportation take us there and back ($)....

I really believe we can get it done for $5000.

Generally speaking, this is kind of my last labor of love for music before law school, and I want to make it awesome and bring in all my pals that have been with me for a while to have a great time and potentially create a piece of art that is unique and cool and could make money from sales and make others (the sponsor) money from a promotional standpoint. I have worked with Time Warner Cable Channel 23 as well, and we could broadcast the documentary on cable so you could look at this as an advertising expense for you or your company etc. We also have the outlets to put the music all over the web, iTunes, cdbaby, myspace, facebook, you name it. (Just check out my website below). And we have a few minor celebrities/important people in the industry that might be willing to be a part of this.

Maybe there is some rich guy or gal out there that would be willing to sponsor this? I have everything lined up so you wouldn't have to worry with anything, just provide the money and get the credit as the sponsor.
I'm open to suggestions. ghartline@hotmail.com

I wrote 6 songs for 6 Twitter followers

I made a promise to anyone who followed me on Twitter.com/Hartline the other day that I would write each of them a personal song about them, and 6 people followed! Joe Rhodes, neato_burrito, Kristin Marshall, Gulfportfasttax, Joyce Real, and Hugo Goncalves now have their own song!

You can check out their songs on my website:

Passed the broker's test and other goings on...

Finally I will have my real estate broker's license in California! It's been a long, tough road but I am completely independent to conduct real esate business. AHH a sigh of relief...
So the other day I checked out a really cool place in Beverly Hills that serves excellent blackberry mojitos (my new favorite drink)-i's called Nineteen 12- and while there I met celebrities and got information for maybe performing at the Polo Lounge there! It would be so cool to do that before law school starts up in August. I really want to have a lot of fun this summer before 3 years of lock down begin haha...
If things work out, my Marine Corps buddy Blake C. will be flying out here at the end of the month and we are going to hit up the Hollywood spots and chill at the beach and catch up for his birthday. Then later in July I may be going to Nashville to meet up with Rod and Nick H., my bro-in-law and his bro, to do some singer-songwriter stuff and just do the Nashville thing a couple of days.
Also, now that I've got my broker's license I'm going to start looking into doing loans as well...I really want to invest in properties myself. No shady lender stuff-I'll do a good job don't worry. Besides that, I was hoping to get the reality show off the ground "Realtors by Day, Musicians by Night", but we'll see if I can get it going or not before this summer is up.
And of course, me and Drew B. are playing around SoCal this summer, so be on the lookout for a show near you!

Let's see if I can post something from my phone...
