Rush to Nowhere

We waited in line for over two hours for a chance to see a documentary called The Island President.  It's about the president of The Maldives and his work with the world's super powers to effect change with regard to global warming.  It seems that his nation is projected to be under water if things don't change, and soon.  The president himself was due to be on stage for an interview and Q&A after the film.

Alas, only 5 rushers were allowed into the film, and we were numbers 9 and 10.  Bummer, yes, but we still had a good time.  We met a nice couple in front of us, who we stupidly convinced to rush for our film instead of the one they had in mind.  We also were able to witness our first ever Longboarder Flash Mob, and get a peek at a former Canadian prime minister.  You never know what you're going to see in this town.
