Car parks, as a general rule, incredibly ugly. If you're after symmetrical lines though, they can be a source of many photographs.
I was going through an old notebook the other day and spotted a quote that I'd scribbled down no doubt three sheets to the wind that I wanted to reflect upon. The source was a - in a sad, pathetic, Hobart sense - a hipster doofus. He was arguing about being lumped in with a cohort that I assumed he identified with:
"Yeah, I know those guys, and yeah, we like... we do drink with them pretty much every night of the week, but it's not like I'm part of some uni bar scene."
See, for mine, nightly gatherings in the same place with the same people pretty makes you part of a scene.
That said, I'm pretty confident that the closest to a "scene" that I frequent these days is a Playgroup scene. So I'm interested, are you part of any scene? Would you care to confess to the world your involvement in any "scenes" in the past?

I love your opening quote, Ginsberg is always a good idea.
I'm in no scene at all, other than the people who've been at the front of the phone book scene...
I used to know a bloke who was once on the front of the phone book, but I don't think that he was from Scotland.
There was the top bit and the underground bit, the underground bit was where we saw Brocky be surly, upper was the hookers
Now please mind that this was in Kentucky, a place which is not much cosmopolitan like NY/NJ or LA or Boston, etc. So, they hardly know about other cultures. So, seeing us sitting all the time together and not showing any interest in dating or BF's, all our American friends and colleagues and other people on campus were all the time enquiring why all Asian women are LESBIANS :-D?
The lower deck of the K-Mart car park always featured the odour of stale urine. That said, the old CES offices in Burnie carried a stronger stench of piss.
It must be quite the cultural shift!
