I'll slip you my e-addy; you can then send me the images and I'll put them on the SVR server. (That's actually been standard practice for years; Tibi Draco'll tell you sometime about all those avatars I shipped him back when he was running the site.)

actually my problem with re-enactment is place-specific. Strangely enough, there are no legions in Budapest (though there are at least three in Hungary). There are gladiators, but I feel it's beneath my dignity as a free person and roman citizen to be a gladiator (apart from the fact that I'm a bit too old for the kind of training those gladiators do over here ...).
Also, I don't like staged fights, which is what our local gladiators do (it looks very artificial).
I used to practice a local variety of iaido where we had non-staged duels and battles (with wooden weapons), so I'm not interested in dancing.
Valete,

I can't help you for travelling to roman festivals (though you could have a look at www.couchsurfing.com for free accomodation), but give me two years' time and I might be able to help you with the "not being able to buy things" problem.
My intention is to set up a company to produce low-cost, but historically correct reproductions of roman everyday objects, from clothes to metal objects, to pottery.
I know apparently "historically correct" and "low cost" are incompatible concepts, but actually much of the things you can buy out there are vastly overpriced, so for similar prices I could produce much more historically correct objects, or I could produce stuff that looks OK for much lower prices.
Currently I am at the stage of research and building of contacts, but I do have already a fibula reproduction for sale, if anyone is interested.
Vale,
Livia
