Nipclub August 13th, 2026, Sekurity Update by Slinky, @Slinky_the_Cat, Sekurity Agent, Late Nite shift
It’s an eclipse party! We’re all wearing special viewing glasses!
I was a little late tonight because of some human-caused thing involving a “networking event”, whatever that is.
Pearl was serving up the sugar group when I walked in and took off my eclipse viewing glasses. Chocolate eclipse niptinis and cake! The gang was there, but Gator was in X-jail for posting too many tweets, but he used an alternate account so he could party with us.
Pearl served deep-fried butter to Mizz Bassie, and I joined in the conversation as I was reluctant to try it; wondering why butter? But humans will deep-fry any food, especially at fairs. If they can fry ice cream, why not butter?
Harvey showed up with his eclipse viewing glasses on, and I asked if he could see the eclipse where he lived.
Gator talked about being in jail back when it was called Twitter and they called jail “Twitmo.“ Pretty funny! In the past, all the Nipclubers that went to jail regularly had alternate accounts with elaborately decorated jail cells.
Gator showed us his cell, but it was pretty plain.
Pearl served eclipsed pepperoni pizza and Black and Tans, which was basically a beer eclipsing! We munched on pizza and talked about Godzilla, trains, and bacon.
I realized LATE NITE had already started, but I hadn’t seen Louis, Angus, or K-Boi. None of the usual suspects. Pearl thought she had seen Angus earlier.
Angus arrived and filled in with some tunes because Louis was running late. “Mississippi Moon” by John Anderson was the first song. Delays seemed characteristic of that night. Gator nor I had heard of this artist before. We just know Jon Anderson of Yes. Pearl had made a tray of colorful exotic fruit cocktails, and I tried the dragon fruit daiquiri. Delicious!
Gator stayed up with us and dug up a classic cover (last week’s theme was bleeding into this week!) from the Dead Kennedys. Angus played another moon-themed song while Louis arrived, just in time, along with TJS’s fly-by greetings. Angus was still playing music; and Louis might also play music! It was awesome!
Moo returned for a short while for LATE NITE to say hello. Gator found another cover song by The Arrows, which was a British band we hadn’t heard of. Wow! Great band! The lead singer is Alan Merrill; the song was “I Love Rock and Roll”, made very famous by Joan Jett! I was mind-blown to find out that Joan Jets version was a cover!
Louis played music again: “Black Hole Sun” by Soundgarden (one of my favorite songs!), and “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me” by George Michael and Elton John; an epic duet. Gator remained to stay up for LATE NITE, and we talked about music.
It seemed LATE NITE was really a music listening party, and we were here for it!
Pearl left the bar with us, so we carried on with the party. It was mostly Angus, Louis, and I playing music. I put out a plate of moon pies for snacks. We were still listening to music, and it was getting late, but I was fading, so I bid my adieus.
Gator, Louis, and Angus kept playing songs longer, and I stepped outside and disappeared behind the moon.
Until next week!
