...This Thanksgiving Weekend marks the opening of the all-new Alpine skate park, etc., in Ventura, CA. Located at the legendary Skate Street (1954 Goodyear Avenue in Ventura), Alpine is (and I quote from their website): "a skate park, laundromat, PC and console gaming center, lounge, study space, cafe, music venue (x2), hair salon and more." Truly the first of its kind, and probably years ahead of its time, Alpine promises to re-define the modern entertainment center. For more information, check out their website at www.alpineventura.com or, better yet, drop by for their grand opening celebration, the details of which can be found at the Alpine website...

...JUDAS PRIEST will release “Rising in the East,” a live DVD, on November 15th. The CD was recorded in May 2005 at the legendary Budokan in Tokyo, Japan. Says the band’s Glenn Tipton: "We talked about doing a DVD on this tour and we decided to do it at the Budokan because it's a special venue. It's world-renowned. We thought it was an ideal choice. We filmed both nights but we ended up using the second night only for this DVD. We wanted it to be as live and as real as possible, and when you start taking from different shows there isn't continuity. We wanted it to be one show and that's exactly what it is." Adds Rob Halford: "I think what 'Rising In The East' displays to Priest fans is the first time seeing us reunited for a full-length show in the DVD format. I think the DVD compounds all the great things that Priest fans and metal fans all around the world love about the band. Priest is still a powerful, physical, full-on experience in the live domain. What this DVD is intended to do is give longtime Priest fans another great memory to add to their collection, and it's also an opportunity for new Priest fans to explore all the great things we're achieving three decades later." The audio on the DVD was mixed by longtime Judas Priest producer Tom Allom, and is presented in 5.1 Surround Sound...
