Some things are too good to be true. Langerado 2009 was one of those things. Slated to kick off on March 6th and provide a weekend's worth of booze and drug-induced listening pleasure in Miami's Bicentennial Park, the promoters have called off the festival due to sluggish ticket sales and the weak economy.
