00:41Curtain and we didn't even know if it could really happen and it's thanks to
00:45Laszlo Hegelus, this wonderful promoter in Budapest who made it all happen and a lot
00:50of people told him it wouldn't be able to be done because of all the restrictions
00:53they were but for the first time we were aware that everybody from behind the
