I miss the sticky carpet at the Park View band room in the 70s and 80s. Whole ecosystems lived in it. And were on the brink of spontaneous evolution into consciousness. Then pokies came to Victoria and they closed off the band room and tore up the carpet. The spirit of bar room scientific endeavour was snuffed out in an instant.
