WELCOME  BACK for another edition of THE WHISPER   from The Road  !!!! What a blast !!

     We have a lot ahead of us , as we get ready for a new year empirically with new officers,  new programs and ……. RYCHE QUEST !!!!!!!!!!!!  If you caught the NEWS FLASH , you know what I am talking about!!

     If not , WHAT is RYCHEQUEST ?????????  It is a QR Fan  Celebration  and  CWE 8th Birthday Bash !!  I hope you will plan to attend , as we have folks coming from all over the U.S. and from different empires . We want to have a good showing !!! YOU will see more forthcoming on the same. So …. Stay tuned !! JJ

      The notice I sent can be found at http://www.varockbands.com/VRBqueensryche.html  . This is the call for Va. Bands, but we already  have Odin’s Court back from last time and Proceed To Oblivion want back in too. Prophecy told me in Anaheim that they want to come East for this. So, this is really growing !

( SEE below on Geoff & Susan’s status .)

     BTW, we would love to have Detriment join the fun. J HINT……..HINT…………

       So far the CWE , East Side Empire (NJ) ,  Cascades Empire ( Oregon)  and  The Lost Tribe of The Midwest (KY)  have come aboard with this program. J We expect more to come aboard shortly !! J

        Unfortunately , per Susan , she and Geoff  will not be able to make it, BUT , fortunately , it is because they will be out on tour with Judas Priest. J  JJ  ALSO, per Susan,  they will be here in the states during that time, so maybe we can snag a QR/JP show as part of the weekend celebration !!?? J
