Hi Johannes
great that Marlon was in town (is he traveling anywhere else in the UK while here?) -- we at CRUMB are also fans of his work, and lessons which can be learned about new media collaboration through salsa dancing!
Will you be able to post online anywhere documentation of the discussion you had?
Cheers
Sarah
