Thank you, Alexius!
I do well understand your impatience. All this "not now" stuff annoys me, too. And the feeling that all communication is for nothing, because there are some other ones who are related to the right person and will make their own thing in the end, but they will never tell you. Because they cannot imagine something greater than their own strength, to choose friendly words. It would be so easy to say: hey Stefan, nice that you are so enthusiastic, but we, X.Y., have already done the work and will make a fine reenactment. We don't need you or anyone else, but thank you all! That would be enough. But all this fishing in the dark is consuming so much time and energy. So my next work is to find out, if there is someone else who really , e.g. in reality, does something for a 2009 reenactment. If there is, I will do what I promised in the beginning, and put my work in their hand, if wanted. If it is someone who reads here and doesn't make contact by himself but waits for being discovered, I would be quite annoyed.
Thing is, that networking means working. A big thing will not work without widespread preparation. One can't simply engage a number of groups for day X and think it will be a good show. And all those, who say "wait!" but do not say what they do with this waiting time, well, they will be to blame if the outcome is only a lame duck, where a great eagle could fly. Those who know me in real life do know, that I actually like a good show, that I enjoy fame and laudes, but that I do not organize things with the aim of putting myself in center. I am not the one who needs to talk to reporters all the time. I am happy, when my baby is alive, not when I am on TV. And it is a chance for "old fellows" who think themselves "big" in reenactment, if they listen to a newcomer (I do these things only for seven years now, so I am quite unknown outside my own little realm). A newcomer can work together with people who would otherwise fight each other. So I really hope that somewhere outside there is someone already at work and says hello now! Not leaning back and waiting for the wreckage of a newbie. We will see. Better soon.
Cheers,
Stefan
