Interesting point you made there - I went to the smooth jive/blues room (and that's where Lorraine, Simone, and I were chatting as I recall). I actually gave it a go, dancing some MJ with Lorraine and with a couple of other girls.

But yeah you're right about John Lindo not getting to see any MJ - I was at the doorway when he decided to take a look. Unfortunately his visit at the blues room coincided with a period where no one was dancing at all to the music - so off he went back to where 99% of the people where, the Pavilion Ballroom!
