The theme was Gatsby Glamour at the Roaring ‘20s party night! Gator made the Snick’s Sekurity team natty tuxedos to wear, complete with waistcoats. We looked absolutely dashing! The bar became an Art Déco speakeasy, and the glitzy costumes created a luxurious atmosphere. The champagne had been flowing all day, and when I arrived, Moo (@moothemousecat) was finishing up her shift; she had made some delicious smoked salmon canapes. Salmon and champagne! A match made in heaven!
Breeze (@kittehdaboi) was there, but currently in Twitter jail, so I had to talk to him through the jail cell bars. Luckily, he could still party with us using his alternate account.
It was a bit of a slow night, as I didn’t catch my first spammer until about an hour into my shift! They were trying to sneak in the back way and crash the party.
Tiny Pearl (@tinypearlcat) was barktending, serving up shrimp cocktails, chocolate torte, and champagne punch, and Sir Pickle (@SirLongpaw) was spinning the Catnadian tunes for the late-night bunch. I paused for refreshment with Moo (@moothemousecat) when she reappeared. Pearl really went all out and gave us drinks, fancy food, and candles! It was over the top!
A few more spammers threatened to spoil the fun, so I had to get up and go throttle a couple more while I was enjoying a tender steak. I caught four during my shift, but more always show up the next day, sometimes huddling around the dumpsters. TJS (@TJS12145) usually shows up at #Nipclub later to help corral the interlopers! Keeping the #Nipclub bar safe is my primary job during my shift.
Vampy (@AdorabullyBadge) was unusually chatty, sharing photos, staying up late (or early!), and showing lovely pictures of snow in Scotland! Pearl (@tinypearlcat) and I were discussing how cold weather is affecting the desert areas of the United States.
We discussed time changes and noted that Jakku doesn’t do daylight saving time. This time of year, I arrive for my shift “early” and stay late, and in the summer, I arrive late and stay late! Time is fluid on the internet! Upon closure, I became a cloud, a collection of gold stars, departing the bar. Cool trick.
Until next week!
