Queensland premiere of Australia

We had gotten dressed up and drove down in the rain that had been coming down all afternoon.
The evening was also the opening of a new arthouse multiplex set on what is basically a huge roundabout of a one way system taking traffic out of the city.
The screening was due to start at 7.00 with drinks at 6.30.
A kilometre from the cinema traffic stopped.
It took 25 minutes to get to the junction where the entry to this new complex (cinema/retail/restaurants) was right on a traffic light.
We got into the complex at 6.50.
A great mass of people was outside in the rain. No one was going in.
The bright young glittery things all bleached blond and dark eyed, their short black sequinned dresses reflecting more light than those eyes would ever manage. The children of the Paris/Lyndsey culture were beginning to look cold and bedraggled clutching their small bags to themselves.
The security unshaven in their tuxedos stood hands crossed across their stomachs.
They had sold all 6 screens for the same time and weren't ready.
Men with light sticks were trying to steer cars down into the bowels of the carparks.
More cars were continually arriving. The police looked like they would rather be at home.
We drove down 4 levels, spotted an exit sign and drove out into the damp night.
