Nipclub April 2, 2026, Sekurity Update by Slinky, @Slinky_the_Cat, Sekurity Agent, Late Nite shift
Nipclub go fly a kite day! We all have kites to fly on a glorious spring evening.
I arrived at the bar filled with lively conversation about blue jets and red sprites; apparently, these are both upper atmospheric electrical discharge phenomena that occur during storms. Pearl was talking about it, and Gator had a video to share with everyone in the bar. The images were so beautiful, like the Northern Lights!
Apparently, all the pals were talking about big thunderstorms and different lightning types right before I arrived. Harvey, Miss Moo, Pearl, Gator, DC Kitty, Kim Colon, Lily, Louis, and even P and Jeego were there for the early party!
Moo served up some delicious satay chicken skewers, and Angus flew a spectacular rainbow kite. Pearl started barktending after Moo’s shift, and was serving freshly baked calzones and “Black Kite” wine, which was a nice play on words as it had a bird on the label. It was delicious wine!
Someone mentioned Holy Week. I said it was Maundy Thursday (commemorating the Last Supper); Harvey said it was already Good Friday in New Zealand. Raven said her human didn’t understand why the store ran out of eggs…duh, it’s Easter week!
The Artimis rocket was a topic as well, along with light rain during spring weather. TJS showed up with the usual energy and greeted everyone by name.
After more food and conversation, LATE NITE fun started with Angus in the DJ booth, spinning the tunes, and we lit up the night sky with LED kites.
Pearl was serving up righteous noms and cocktails for the LATE NITE diehards. Angus found a fun song for April Fool’s Day, something funny by the great Ray Stevens. We had forgotten how funny he was! That led to Weird Al, so we amped up the fun!
We stayed up late and talked about the lack of humor nowadays and how human children have cushy playgrounds, nothing dangerous. Gen X drank from the hose and ran around until dark!
Pearl retired for the evening, so I stayed for another 30 minutes to barktend and close the bar.
I love staying late for the Nipclub pals!
I found out that Louis and Angus’ humans are both Gen X, just like mine, so we continued the conversation about dangerous playgrounds, not having cell phones, Blockbuster Video stores, and what it was like to roam free outside without supervision.
I served up a nightcap with some deviled eggs while the conversation flowed into Good Friday.
Louis, Angus, and I closed it down; it’s almost Easter!
Until next week!
