Please drop any $ you can into the Tip Jar to help pets at Black Cat Rescue. Every penny helps! Thanks!

First: This week we lost a dear pal, TSK of @Danapixie. TSK was a wonderful cat that cheerfully took in Daffy and they have been best buddies. Please take a moment of #Pawcircle thoughts for TSK and family. ..

There will be a celebration for TSK at #FBJam on Sunday December 18th, 6-8 PM eastern.

Festivus!

It's That time of year again. Christmas is approaching, nerves are getting frazzles, and people need to short break....in other words, it's time for FESTIVUS!! 

Mr.Breeze aka @Kittehboi aka Saint Kittebus Maximus, Patron Saint of
Airing Grievances will have a GRIEVANCE WITH YOU if you don't come
to pawty with us at #NipClub's Festivus Pawty. And you DON'T want that.

Still confused..here's a website that'll get you all the Festivus Knowledge you'll need: Click for HERE  Festivus Information

Throughout the evening we'll do all the Festivus activities.....around the Festivus Pole, we'll have the airing of grievances (in good fun only please..teasing OK..attacks are NOT). AND of course the Feats of Strength, where the "head of house" gets wrestled to the ground and pinned. In this case, whichever Manager is on duty..., @TheNascarKitty, TinyPearlCat, @ShaynaCat,  or @RealFakeGator..., step right up and wrestle them to the ground!!

What does one wear to a Festivus Pawty?...whatever they want, but it's often just whatever you would wear to a Holiday Pawty that you really aren't excited about...like that awful sweater you got from grandma, or some outlandish outfit, or street clothes...OR a #NipClub t-shirt!! Either way @RealFakeGator and  #NipClub Outfitters probably has what you need. Just ask. Many of you already got "terrible sweaters" for last years pawty, so you're already set. 

A few scenes from previous Festivus Pawties at #NipClub:

@TheNascarKitty wrestles @KingTuttiFrutti in Feats of Strength! 

@TheNascarKitty gets pinned by a #NipClub customer during Feats of Strength

@PepiSmartDog puts @KingTuttiFruiti into a Headlock during the Feats of Strength

  

@RealFakeGator takes this opportunity to air grievances

NOTE: Marta has since joined us #OTRB but she still visits Gator in

his dreams and heart, and shares his bed & brings him treats

@3phibotticelli`s grievances are weather related

@TinyPearlCat's grievance is too many pals go #OTRB & she insists this

stops, and that we keep alive the memories of those who have past!

@NancyCakeFace is dressing in her Festivus finest!

Help Us Honor @TinyPearlCat at #NipClub Dec.8th, 2016

#NipClub honors The little cat who could: @TinyPearlCat  

@TinyPearlCat arrives at work in style every day.

@TinyPearlCat always professional AND sweet!!!

@TinyPearlCat even delivers the beer herself if need be!!!

Hi. I'm @TheNascarKitty, #NipClub Manager and one of the founding members. I'd like to take a moment to tell the history of the hardest working anipal at #NipClub. My friend, @TinyPearlCat. 

Almost 7 years ago, When @FlaCatLady & @MaggieTKat & @KingTuttiFruiti dreamed up #NipClub as a way to blow off steam before the weekend, and also serve various animal charities, there was no inkling of how big it would become.

The first week @KingTuttiFruiti & @MaggieTKat barktended and hosted nearly the whole 5 hour pawty, and I DJ'd for like, 4 hours straight. But anipals were interested. And certain anipals always come to mind when we need help. Friends like @Kittehboi, @MarioDaCat, @GeorgeTheDuck and @BunnyJeanCook  were there for us whenever we needed. But we were still short staffed.

We still didn't have enough help to run the bar without wearing out our barktenders. One pretty little cat volunteered to learn to barktend. That kitty was @TinyPearlCat.

I knew TinyPearl from my other project the AnipalAcademyAwards where she was just blowing us away with her IT skills for photoshop, blogging, etc. We hooked her up with #pawpawty head Barktender @GeorgeTheDuck who gave her some training, but pretty soon she was outshining even the most experienced barktenders. Not only did she have a very unique service method, but creativity galore, making personalized drinks for tons of pawtiers, and even developing a menu of drinks. She was soon made Bar Manager. #NipClub is especially proud that Pearl was asked to be a #PawPawty Barktender. #NipClub staff is among the most reliable creative on the anipal circuit!!

NipClub was growing, so I started a blog. Very basic...I'm a caveman as far as blogging goes, and FlaCatLady decided we needed a Noms/Drink menu to help customers decide what to order. For a couple weeks we sent suggestions to TinyPearl, then all of a sudden BOOM we had a Noms/Drink menu that's the envy of even more established pawties.

The blog itself grew, and continues to grow. She's added a game room, a store, DJ and Barktender pages. And for a long while,  TinyPearl moved us forward into a new era of catering. We debuted by catering @PandaFur and @PetieTheCat's wedding. Now we can personally cater any pawty, even providing Barktenders and DJ's if needed.

But TinyPearl is known most for running a tight bar where customers come first, and are treated to a fun experience.

It didin't take long before I made @TinyPearlCat my #NipClub Co-Manager. She finalizes, decorates and "fixes" the blog each week, makes special graphics as needed, and STILL works 3 to 4 hours behind the bar each week. 

Eventually @TinyPearlCat and I discovered a very talented pooch named @RealFakeGator who became our co-manager and the manager of #NipClub Outfitters.  He's a huge help, and talented beyond words, but both he and I would be lost without @TinyPearlCat. 

THE HEART OF #NIPCLUB. Make sure to come this week and show TinyPearl how much you appreciater her.
