Still dating that broad, she's awesome.
I've achieved my schollars ranking with AEMMA equivalent to a black belt in karate or something.. but it basically means I know the basics and how it applies to all forms of weaponry including a bar stool (if you are a true master of what George Silver 16th century arrogant Englishman calls the 4 grounds and the 4 governers you can win almost any bout with whatever weapon you'd like)
I attended Roman Days 2005 in Maryland just last weekend and had a wonderful time dressing up in my Roman kit, marching and performing for an audience. Good turn out through the whole weekend. Record amount of Legionarries as well.
Great time.

None of me I was the photographer.
