To the Hilt is seen here on the Blarney Stone Stage at the Hawkwood Medieval Fantasy Faire in 1999. It marks the (at the time) brand new "ugly pants" Leonardo is now famous for. "Dave" is in reference to Katya's male friend in the audience.

To the Hilt's characteristic pose. We've made it our mission, as we pose for thousands of photos, to add this pose in photo albums all over the country. By including it here on our web page, we've subjected even more of you to it.

Leonardo prompts the audience to cheer wildly as a yet-unseen Katya attempts to lift her "One Meter of Iron Death". A brilliant example candid photography, wouldn't you say?

Captured here is Leonardo's malapropic Shakespearean death scene from "the Masked Hero". As performed on the Blarney Stone Stage at the Hawkwood Medieval Fantasy Faire, 1999. Katya still holds the rapier she's stabbed him with.

Taken during "the Medulla Oblongata", this is the one pause Leonardo takes to elicit "oohs" and "aahs". Moments later, Katya and Leonardo play "Knick Knack Paddywhack" with the quarterstaves, often only for their own amusement.

Taken on the Blarney Stone Stage at the Hawkwood Medieval Fantasy Faire in 1999, this moment in "the Medulla Oblongata" no longer exists. Does anyone remember something about Katya wearing Leonardo's underwear?
