WCE Gearing-Up to Celebrate June 28th, 100 Years Anniversary

           Government officials in the Wuxi China Expatdom are working day and night in preparation for the 100th anniversary of the Assassination of Archduke Franz Fedinand, on June 28th.

No specific theme has been decided yet, however members of at least 328 Expat firearm-clubs are
expected to partcipate in the three-day festivities. A special Committee has proposed that a week-long holiday be called.  Senior WCE sources anticipate an influx of around 1.8 billion overseas visitors.

Last night, the organising-Committee caused a sensation with the announcement that BONO will lead a marathon stage-concert, commencing at midnight on June 27th.  BONO will be backed by
a 128-member orchestral ensemble, Keith Richards, the Nanjing Expat Bongo Club, and at least
28,000 choirboys from Expatdoms all over the world, including the Sarajevo YMCA.

Festivities will begin with the biggest fireworks display in history, a march-past of the WCE's Armed Forces, the official opening by Gorzo the Mighty, and then the musical concert for the following three days.   Insiders are tipping that Keith Richards will play his specially-composed new riff, loosely-based on "Keep the Home Fries Burning".   Members of the 1912 Bar District Smith and Wesson Shooter's Club have indicated that they will perform a rendition of "Bad Boys, Bad Boys, Whatcha Gonna Do" using massed volleys of .45's.

Local Expats have expressed generally-positive feelings about this year's event. Andis Kaulins, President of the WCE Elite Expats Association (WCEEEA), said that, as a keen historian, it is a day that must be accorded full dignity and remembrance.

A notable exception to the enthusiastic Expats has been Archduke Harry Moore, who reportedly
makes high-speed departures every time journalists attempt to seek his opinions on the up-coming festivities.
