For Daylight Savings Time #NipClub Sets it's Clocks Back a Hundred Years? OOPS Nov. 2, 2013...1923
#NipClub Speakeasy Night
Well, this is awkward. I simply asked @Kittehboi to pop into the NipClub office complex Saturday night and set the clocks back ONE HOUR. Now, in case you didn't know it, @Kittehboi's human is a brilliant scientist, and apparently Breeze decided to try to set the clocks back with some quantum physics tricks. And he set the clocks back A HUNDRED YEARS OR SO.
So, we decided to make the best of it and revisit a pawty from 2013 where we went back to the PROHIBITION Era. I've included that original blog below, with a lot of old pals we don't see anymore, and a few familiar faces. This will be fun for you newer pals.
If YOU need a special roaring 20s Speakeasy, Prohibition, Flapper, Dapper Dan, etc. avatar please contact NipClub Outfitters @RealFakeGator soon.
Sincerely, @TheNascarKitty NipClub Manager and Founder, and the guy who needs to explain to the insurance adjuster why all our facilities are suddenly 100 years older.......
This week #NipClub is taking you back to the past...to a time that's fun to remember...but you wouldn't want to actually be there.....
At the SPEAKEASY, if you knew the secret code word, you could enter a world of fun, intrigue, secrecy...almost a "brotherhood" of partiers. Of course, because breaking laws was involved, "gangsters" where usually behind the Speakeasy Clubs, because they weren't afraid to make a few $$$ catering to the "illegal" tastes of their clientele!
That's right PROHIBITION and Speakeasy Clubs, were a huge part in the rise of Hot Jazz music in the 1920's..here's an example of Jazz great Louis Armstrong playing in a Speakeasy!!

| #NipClub Speakeasy Manager @TheNascarKitty & bar girls @AutumnTheDoxie & @TinyPearlCat invite you in...if you have the secret pass and swear you aren't a lawman!!! |
PROHIBITION: a time when you couldn't simply go have a drink with pals, or purchase a bottle of booze to take home....establishments called SPEAKEASY's popped up all over America.
@kingtuttifruitti waits to hear the code word for entry
but don't say it loud!
HINT: The password is what @3phibotticelli likes to do with pals..... (OK, it's "HUG")

The 1920's & Early 1930's in America will always be remembered as an era of civil disobedience....caused by that nasty idea called PROHIBITION!!
Imagine a world where #NipClub would be illegal because of the very beverages that we all enjoy!! No Niptinis, No Meowmosas, No Meowgaritas, NO BACON BEER!!.....well at least not legally!

PROHIBITION made it illegal to manufacture, possess or consume alcoholic beverages!! So naturally, this led to an era of terrific illegal party establishments (Speakeasy Clubs), each trying to outdo each other to grab customers!! It ushered in bathtub gin, hot jazz music & gun toting gangsters!!
Belly up to the bathtub because

Even before there was prohibition, there was a huge campaign to outlaw "Devil Alcohol" led by a crazy spinster named CARRIE NATION, who went on a state by state terror trail, smashing up bars and liquor stores with her now famous hatchet. Let's hope she doesn't show up at #NipClub this week and smash up our bar!!
