The origin of Blobs is lost in the mists of time, but I do know that I started calling it in the early 90's after meeting John Krumm, so the idea is likely his. The title 'Blobs', however, sounds like it might have emerged from my brain. I take great pleasure in crying out: 'Look out! Here comes the blob!'

Ridge - it sounds like you need to attend Pourparler, where you will meet a gang of people each with a list as long as your arm of the kind of dances you are looking for. 
Pourparler 2018 will be in San Antonio, Nov 1-4.
