OOOOOOOOOH.  I think I'm in love.  (With the *name*, Gio!)
You just don't get a lot more period than that, and we're in
the area too!  In older registration rules, there was an
explicit exemption allowing an obsolete name for an area to
be used for an SCA branch there.  Texas != Cibola, Cibola
was never a known place, and the rules rewrite lost the
rule, but I *suspect* it'd still fly.

For those who may wonder: I just asked a Venezuelan how it
would be pronounced, and she said "see BOW la".  Three
syllables, stress on the second one.  Pronunciation of "b"
varies from place to place.  The Spanish distinguish "b" and
"v"; Venezuelans do not.

Daniel "oh WOW" de Cibola
