Nipclub August 20th, 2026, Sekurity Update by Slinky, @Slinky_the_Cat, Sekurity Agent, Late Nite shift

It’s a Bacon party! Everything has bacon in it! And I mean everything! It’s glorious!

I walked into the Nipclub bar wearing my bacon suit and then had to change into my plain clothes bacon sekurity uniform. Moo and Mizz Bassie greeted me. There was a lively conversation going on about hotel bed quality. Moo brought me praline bacon tartlets and a cocktail with a large piece of crispy bacon as garnish.

Later, Pearl served maple bacon cupcakes and caffe lattes to those who needed caffeine. Pearl showed me the small golf course-sized hovercraft she rode in on; it had a giant stack of bacon in the back of it. It was something to behold! It was actually bacon-powered, so it even smelled like bacon (and catnip) outside the bar.

Angel Dominique, a.k.a. DC Kitty made a surprise appearance! She was chatting with everyone, making the rounds. We don’t see her often enough anymore, so it was really nice to catch up. Pearl kept the bacon tartlets, bacon-wrapped grilled shrimp, and champagne bacon cocktails flowing while we caught up.

DC was unaware of Pearl’s new dog plus feline companion. She also didn’t know her beloved ginger cat, Butter, had died. Consequently, more drinks accompanied several Butter anecdotes plus images.

Louis showed up for LATE NITE and asked if anyone was in the DJ booth. I hadn’t seen K-Boi or Sir LongPaw, so there was no music yet. Dominque talked about a newish cat food, Made By Nacho- chef-developed cat food by Bobby Flay. Apparently, it’s very tasty stuff and worth checking out the website! 

Louis was in the DJ booth which meant the real LATE NITE party started! Coldplay was the first cut, then Imagine Dragons, and more fun music. TJS arrived and said hello to everyone right as Dominique said goodbye.  We all hoped she would be back again soon!

Angus arrived and Louis hit his musical stride with some Mongolian metal by The Hu (A LATE NITE Nipclub favorite by now). Moo talked about cactus flowers, the monsoon in Jakku, and asked if my humans had any big storms near their home. Moo showed some photos of a trip to Costa Rica, including a photo of an anteater! Wow, it looked so cool! 

Pearl was knocking the food out of the park with flaming shots, bacon maple cheesecake, bacon s’mores, lasagna, and fruity cocktails. Angus and Louis chatted about music while Moo showed more tropical wildlife photos while we all drank bacon beer.  Fun times! 

Once Pearl’s barktender shift ended and she went home, I stepped in to serve cocktails and potato skins topped generously with bacon and scallions. Louis wound up his set and posted the set list on YouTube. Technology makes it easy to share!

Moo was fading and wanted an escort to her car. Louis, Angus and I were all fading too, so I packaged up some leftover bacon snacks for everyone to enjoy at home this weekend. It was time to go, so I cleaned up, locked up, turned on the closed sign, and headed back to my cloud.

Until next week!

It’s Cover Song Night at Nipclub! Woot Woot!

I arrived to the smell of crispy fried fish, fries, and K-Boi at the bar. Gator, Mizz Bassie, Moo were there, and Moo had saved me some fish and chips.

Unfortunately, K-Boi had some bad news: his sisfur Ragamuffin has cancer and only has a couple of months left. Ragamuffin is a sekurity officer and has the shift right before me. This was devastating news to Nipclub. I gave K-Boi a hug. It started as a hurt paw that didn’t heal. Luckily, she’s on pain medication and at home with family. Everyone gave K-Boi hugs and healing vibes for Ragamuffin. 

We hung out, ate fish and chips, and I noticed Sir Pickle Long Paw wasn’t in the DJ booth. Probably just on a break, or maybe he wasn’t working tonight? I couldn’t remember. Sekurity was quiet tonight; we rarely have spam zombies anymore. K-Boi caught one earlier.

It was quiet, too quiet, but almost LATE NITE, so I zipped into the DJ booth and played a song, “Brandy”, a cover of the famous Looking Glass song by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Then I played Sergio Mendes and Brazil’ 66 cover of “Fool on the Hill” by The Beetles. Had to keep the bar happy while we got LATE NITE going!

K-Boi was back in the DJ booth. He lined up his setlist and started with Jeff Buckley’s version of “Hallelujah”. Stunning!

Pearl had to leave earlier than normal, so I went behind the bar and worked with Moo making drinks and tacos. K-Boi played some great stuff: Johnny Cash covered a Nine Inch Nails tune, “Hurt”; a Patti Smith cover of “Gloria”, and the Cowboy Junkies cover of the classic “Sweet Jane” by The Velvet Underground.

He programmed 7 hours of music and shared the entire set list; it’s on YouTube!

Louis prepared to play tunes next. First up was a cover of an Elvis song by Robin Lee, and then Bananarama covered “Venus” (that’s not their original song; the original is from 1969, by a Dutch rock band called Shocking Blue), and I served more drinks!

Other than the music, it was pretty quiet! The cats were getting hungry, so I served French onion soup, pretzel bites, and various cocktails. Moo stayed late, and I walked her out to her waiting car. Louis, Angus, K-Boi and I were still there, so I served nightcaps like cognac and tiny blueberry tart desserts. Gotta have snacks when listening to Apocalyptica, Panthera, and Joan Jett covers!

At the end of the evening, I realized Angus, Louis, K-Boi, and I were all black cats and the only cats left. It’s a Void party!

TJS showed up again to say hello. Louis and Angus stayed to close the bar as they had more music to play, and I was getting tired. I walked outside and disappeared into a cloud of black smoke. 

Until next week!
