Wow, this is even worse than I thought. I truly feel sorry for your Legion as his actions reflect very badly on everyone as a whole. I'm sure you and your fellow legionaries are bearing the brunt of his actions and having to do some major damage control.
Had we been within driving distance, instead of having to fly, we still would have gone ourselves. I hope you have a safe trip and can salvage a bad situation.

Thanks you for that very clear explanation Claudio.
Good luck getting to Bulgaria by car (quite a trip!) and remember to have fun despite all this!

Thank you for your support.
One thing just to clear a small misunderstanding caused by my bad english:
unfortunately I can not reach my Fratres in Novae. We planned, months ago, to start by plane on Thursdays and retourn on Monday evening. After all the mess following the Cologni's disappearance and after the "miracoluos" finding of some tickets for Novae we had to start on Wednesday. I have my own activity (a gym) and I can not afford one more day of vacation. So I had to renounce, sadly.
The main part of Legio I Italica traveled by plan. A small group of young Fratres, because of their job, had to travel by car and they started today.

Do we have a "most wanted" list? I think we should start one with Andrea at the top. He definitely should be banned permanently from RAT.

Deafening silence lately on this thread.
We should now be in the second day of this event, by the calendar. So, is the Festival happening? Have any other groups shown up? Has Andrea Cologni surfaced?
Can anyone in Svishtov with access to a computer respond?

There are some photos from the event posted here:
http://www.visitsvishtov.com/novae/en/g ... ?cat_id=14
Looks like about 25-30 legionaries and a fair number of barbarians. Pretty good, but not the 200 + on each side the organizers were promoting.
Looks like the Italian dancers may have made it, by the looks of one photo.
Also, attendance looks to be a bit sparse. TRT, are a lot of people turning out for this? I'm just trying to determine if this event is likely to be repeated.

Any idea about how many visitors there were at the event?

There aren't many visitiors in town, according to me. I can also see that the hotels are not full and there aren't many people speaking in different languages around me in the streets.
