This is an older link.

Tonight's news showed some small protests, in front of the Versailles, of the usual nutbags.

1. Oh, no! You should have given us a Ninoska warning! My eyes!

She looks exactly as she looked at the time of Elian's kidnapping by the Miami distant relations. Good grief!

First time to see a video of Tom Regalado, too. Not memorable!

It's just tremendous Los Van Van has made the trip again, and that they haven't been intimidated by the last "exile" reception they got. They also had near sell-outs at the time the article was written, too. Couldn't get much better than that.

Thank you, Mika!

Which is louder, Ninoska Pérez Castellón, or Los Van Van?

2. You noticed it too. Article title says band isn't welcome but article says concert sold out fast.

Typical exile headline/reporting. Lies.

Black is white.

About 100 intransigents showed up to spit on, and to throw their urine filled balloons and brown paper bags filled with dog shit at the concert fans, but, based on the last time the rabid exiles did this, the Miami police set up barricades to separate them far from concert goers. No reports of large numbers of slashed car tires on the cars of attendees in the parking lot like last time.

I heard the concert was great and nearly everyone was out of their seats and dancing in the aisles. No ill will inside the concert.
