Nipclub April 16, 2026, Sekurity Update by Slinky, @Slinky_the_Cat, Sekurity Agent, Late Nite shift
It’s Music Night, DJ’s Choice at Nipclub! Sekurity could wear whatever, so I looked in my extensive uniform wardrobe for just the right look and I chose something simple and casual.
When I arrived, we were trending on X! Alfie the #FurryTails barktender (@TheHugHouse) was there and played music in the DJ booth. He jumped in just as I arrived; K-Boi had been playing music for the prior hour.
What a great surprise!
TJS greeted everyone enthusiastically while I tried to find out how to get a drink. Mizz Bassie arrived and was feeling fabulous, which was great because we missed her last week.
Gator had been here for a while, as usual.
The dance floor was full. Alfie played some fun music, like songs from The Beastie Boys, Bowling for Soup, Jack White, and Cake….
I listened to the splendid music while I checked the sekurity cameras and video feed from the last hour to see if anything interesting showed up.
Moo served cheeseburger sliders with spicy pickles, and they were delicious, along with Aperol Spritzers.
Angus was present but unseen because he apparently had his cloak of invisibility on. Or maybe it was his dark glasses? He couldn’t see us, but we could see him!
Mizz Bassie displayed a photo depicting her fully blossomed, yellow tabebuia tree. She mentioned they are a riot of color when they are blooming next to jacaranda trees where she lives.
Many saw Angus in the bar, seemingly resolving his affliction. He then declared his intention to perform some music.
George the duck showed up! He’s a rare bird once the sun goes down, and it’s always fun when he shows up.
Pearl served guitar-shaped cookies and bacon beer, and Louis showed up just in time for LATE NITE. Moo and I sat next to each other at the bar, catching up.
Angus was in the DJ booth, starting off with 1980s hair metal. Such fun music to dance to and listen to, especially when accompanied by an enormous plate of deluxe nachos! We enjoyed nachos and listened to Quiet Riot, Def Leppard, and Poison, and talked about boom boxes and cassette tapes. Angus didn’t know that the Quiet Riot classic “Cum on Feel the Noize” was a cover of an original song by Slade, which was an English glam rock group!
Then Gator played the Gloria Jones original version of Tainted Love… more minds blown! We listened to more music, and there was a discussion about cover songs and perpetually covered songs like “Jolene” and some of Johnny Cash’s excellent covers.
Pearl left at her usual time, and K-Boi came back to join us for a bit until closing; Gator and I tag-teamed and played a few more songs. I dipped into Delta Blues with Son House and a cover of a Blind Willie Johnson song by Tom Waits. Gator and I talked about music, and I played one more song in the same vein: a Robert Johnson tune.
I served up night caps and buttery popcorn while Gator and I schemed about a future cover music Nipclub party.
Gator and I closed the bar, and Gator spotted a spammer zombie on the way out. I give him credit for nabbing the sekurity risk!
Until next week!
