00:29and read about it on the Friday
00:32and was supposed to fly on the Sunday to go and take part in it.
00:36So what we did was decide to kind of get our message out there anyway.
00:40So we did all sorts of things, not only a social media campaign,
00:45but we also put ads in the newspaper as well,
00:49explaining that I had been cancelled and there was no need to be afraid of me.
