International Wenches Guild

International Wenches Guild

The International Wenches Guild is the brainchild of Lars Lunde (Official Guild Scribe) and Patti Falzarano (National Grande Madame); it began at the New York Renaissance Faire in the summer of 1995.

What began essentially as a local club intended to give some vague sense of order to the various wenches all over that Faire site rapidly turned into an organization stretching across North America, with a present membership of over 2000 women.

The Guild is not a political organization, due to the varied beliefs among our members. As a result, we avoid any volatile political topics, such as abortion, simply because we often have members on both sides of the argument and it would be unfair to rally the Guild for one side or the other. We do, however, hold certain beliefs that could be construed as political, such as an absolute abhorrence for domestic violence of any kind and a healthy respect for the environment and for all living things.

Membership in the Guild is open to all interested parties; we even boast a few men in our ranks. Membership includes a pewter pin with the Guild logo on it, a “License to Wench”e, a membership card, The Little Brown Book (soon going into its third printing and expanding into two volumes, the Official Guide and a separate songbook), a stack of regular “free kiss” cards and a stack of special “free kiss” cards. Men who think this idea is interesting but are wondering why there isn’t something similar for guys can contact our brother organization, The International Brotherhood of Rogues, Scoundrels and Cads. Men who are interested in more involvement with the Wench’s Guild can talk to any IWG member about getting nominated into the Loyal Order of Himbos.

OLDIES BACK-UP // Carmageddon 

I’m downloading Carmageddon! Finally found a site where it’s abandonware, free for the downloading. A hefty download but just wait till I’m wrecking cars again. I’ve missed version one. As much as I like Crashopolypse (spelling doesn’t look right) version one had a charm of it’s own.

Carmageddon Game Grrl

I’m still looking for Carmageddon. InterPlay has written it off, so why haven’t more of the abandonware sites picked it up? Underdog just sends you to Sci Games to order it. But, there are none to be ordered.

Doesn’t someone have a nice CD with Carmageddon for me? Ideally #1 and #3 but #3 would be just ducky all on it’s own. EA Games said (if they had one in) it would be selling for $6.00. Still irks me that WalMart had one but it was going for over $50.00. Maybe I’ll go back down there and see if they’ve put it on sale now that Christmas is over. I thought about getting a price quote from EA Games and taking it to WalMart as a real test of their price match policy. With my luck, they will be all out of Carmageddon anyway. Why is one old game so hard to find? Why didn’t I just buy it a year ago when I was in the US and EA Games had plenty of them in stock.

Woe is me, the game grrl who waited too long for the sale. *sigh*
