The GREAT California Shakeout earthquake preparedness drill was today. The Shakeout not shakedown California earthquake drill expected 5.3 million people to …. drop, cover, hold up.

But hold up - did you do it?

“[O]n November 13, 2008, millions of people in homes, schools, businesses, government offices, and public places all over southern California will Drop, Cover, and Hold On. Why? An enormous earthquake is in our future, and the ShakeOut Drill is our chance to practicewhat to do when it happens.

“… Why is important to do a Drop, Cover, Hold On drill? Just as with anything, to act quickly you must practice, practice, practice. In a big earthquake, there may be very little time to protect yourself before strong shaking knocks you down or drops something on you. Most earthquakes have a sharp jolt a few seconds before the strong shaking, and we need to Drop, Cover, Hold On immediately when we feel the jolt. By practicing we will act quickly, rather than waiting to see if the earthquake will be large. If it is, it may be too late to protect yourself.”

If you have photos of you dropping and rolling, you can upload it to their website.

A verdict is imminent on Anand Jon Alexander. A possible guilty verdict for fashion designer Anand Jon Alexander could result with life in prison. Alexander faces nine, yes, nine rape charges. His defense - all nine women made it up.

“How many times did you hear ‘I don’t recall’ from them during the trial? I stopped counting at 300. These women lied. They lied, they exaggerated and nobody cared — but you should care” says his defense attorneys.

Prosecutors claim the Beverly Hills man raped all nine females, mostly aspiring models, at his apartment while Alexander’s team claims the girls “invited what happened” and all made it up to sue him after the criminal case is over in a civil matter for money.

Alexander was arrested in June 2007. Prior to that he appeared on “America’s Next Top Model.”

His alleged victims were reportedly as young as 14.

Tonight is Monster Massive 2008 here at Los Angeles’ Sports Arena. And with Monster Massive are monster ticket prices. Monster Massive tickets and fees will put you back at least $70 just to get in the door tonight, and with this economy, the question is whether Monster Massive 2008 will have a monster turnout like previous years.

LALATE NEWS’ predecessor LALATE NIGHTLIFE has covered the organizer’s New Years Eve event at the same arena multiple years this decade. That party is always a blast, always great talent, amazing vibe, and cool people.

But for Monster Massive, if you are buying tickets this week, get ready to spend $60, plus a processing fee, plus parking, putting you around $70 just to walk in the door.

Yes each talent alone can normally set you back at least $40 a pop, so if you a devoted follower of these DJ stars, it’s worth the price. With the amazing lineup tonight you are bound to find several of your favorite sounds and djs, like LALATE did, whether you want D&B or progressive.

Even though ticket prices were cheaper weeks ago, on question remains … will less people in this economy, the week before Halloween, put in $70 just to get in the door?

That will be seen.
