Yeah, I was really looking forward to Luz de Riada as well. We're all
really bummed about it. The blame lies squarely on the shoulders of the
US embassy in Mexico. I won't go into all the frustrating details, but
while the State Department's problems were the final nail in the
coffin, it was the embassy's authorities going out of their way to make
things as difficult for LdR as possible that was ultimately
responsible.
BTW, by accident LdR wasn't removed from the band
list at the bottom of the post, and the forum won't allow me to edit the
post, so I can't remove it.
