Gangs of Melbourne

Oh no, I have to head off soon and do battle with the hordes that have taken over our state capital.

It’s a battlefield. They’re everywhere, disrupting society! They’re taking up countless seats on the country trains, surging onto the city trams in great numbers, hanging around hotel lobbies, roaming the streets in rowdy gangs and shouting cheery greetings at rival gangs, filling these public spaces not only with their physical bodies, but with their incessant chatter about arcane topics and friends and what those friends are up to and cruising the Internet and reading blogs and sourcing stuff.

Yes, the (mostly) ladies of the Australasian Quilt Convention at the Royal Exhibition Building are loose on the streets of Melbourne!
