#NipClub in a Nutshell Pawty Feb. 18th, 2021

Please drop any $ you can into the Tip Jar to help pets at Tabby's Place Every penny helps! Thanks!

Last week's Mardi Gras Pawty, in conjunction with #CatCatnivale went terrifically. Hopefully many new anipals discovered #NipClub, and hopefully many of you found some new anipal pawty sources.

With much of America in the grips of severe winter weather the last several days and all this week, well have an easy week that served two purposes.

Great, it gives our staff some extra time so their humans can deal with the weather related emergencies that may come up AND we'll use this Pawty (as well as this week's blogpost) to tell be anipal friends the who, what, when, why, of #NipClub.

#NipClub is celebrating it's 11th Anniversary later this Year. Well Over a thousand pawties, tens of thousands of dollars donated to well vetted animal charities, and many, many happy anipals forming lifelong friendships. 

This week we will be open as usual, as Twitters foremost  Anipal Pawty Bar. Come have a drink, reminisce about the friendships and good times you have here, and make plans for the next 2 big pawties. 

HISTORY: 11 years ago, #NipClub founder @FlaCatLady (Mom of @KingTuttiFruiti) was having a rough day at work, and contacted friends @TheNascarKitty and @AutumnTheDoxie (who had just recently held a "funpawty" to see if the monthly "PawPawty" could be held on a simpler more frequent format) to say she needed a pawty, a simple mid-week release from stress. And #NipClub was born.

Along with @Kittehboi, @GeorgeTheDuck, @MarioDaCat, @BunnyJeanCook, @MaggieTKat, and a handful of others we put together a few pawties, and we grew and grew. It was decided to use our fun times to help support animal charities.

Founder @FlaCatLady handled Head DJ duties, @MarioDaCat became Head Barktender, and Founder @TheNascarKitty started our world famous blog. 

We added the most talented staffs for Barktending, DJing, PR, Quizzes and Prizes, we started "catering" events for other anipals special events, we hosted huge events like Anipal Academy Awards ceremonies, eventually we were asked to take over #PawPawty and #NipClub24Hour was started. 

But the heart and soul of #NipClub was, and remains to this day our weekly Thursday Night Pawty. 

How does it work? Today's #NipClub is run by Founder/Manager @TheNascarKitty along with his Co-Managers: @TinyPearlCat and @RealFakeGator.

They try to have a special theme at least several weeks a month, and spend a lot of time early each week  putting together a blogpost, helping with special graphics and avatars for pals, as well as making managerial decisions.

The finished blog is then passed on to our great PR Staff who spread the word to our anipal friends, who, in turn, spread the word even further. 

Charities are vetted (they must be NON-Kill shelters, and strictly animal related medical/rescue charities) for authenticity and legality. 

On Thursday the pawty is placed in the capable paws/fins/feathers/hands or our talented DJ/Barktender staff who, along with our loyal customers,  make the magic happen.

Is #NipClub Free? YES!!! Absolutely. Everybody is welcome, even your humans. We remind patrons about our charities, and ask them to "tip" their barktenders and DJ's (100 percent of these tips go directly to our charities, we have NO adminstrative costs)  BUT these tips are totally anonymous. Not even our managers know who donates and who doesn't. If you can afford to donate, great. We appreciate it. If you can't, we want you to come and have the most fun you can. 

 Drinks and Noms

Champagne with Raspberries

Cotton Candy.Cosmeowpolitan

Coffee and Tea Service

Roast Turkey Sandwich with Tomato, Lettuce, Bacon, and Cranberry Sauce

Tuna

Nip and Watercress.Salad

Bacon with Chocolate Dipping Sauce

Carrot Cake 

We are also ALWAYS interested in new DJs, Barktenders, PR anipals, Sekurity Staff, Quiz/Prizemasters, Graphic Artists. We will help train if necessary. Please DM @TheNascarKitty, @TinyPearlCat or @RealFakeGator if interested and we'll get you involved.

Now show up Thursday (every week)  and pawty like on #NipClub anipals can.

#NipClub MARDI GRAS PAWTY Feb. 11, 2021

This year we have a special treat. #NipClub has joined a movement headed by.@MrWuggums to bring all the various Twitter Anipal Groups together early February 2021 for a series of pawties based around Mardi Gras,Carnivale, etc and hopefully crossover and support each othwrs pawties. Many of us already participate with several anipal groups, and hopefully after this, even more will.

We have chosen to do a MARDI GRAS Pawty for this event, because nobody does it like us. @MrWuggums will act as a special guest host this week and help provide extra PR. See below for a few words from him.

Why is Grumpy Cat frowning while pawtying at Mardi Gras? Because she's not at the #NipClub Mardi Gras celebration. Don't make the same mistake. This Thursday, Feb. 10, 2021 #NipClub will once again show the folks of New Orleans how it's really done. Come have some exotic fun, great drinks, spectacular noms, great music, and wild revelry as only #NipClub can do it.

We have a new KREWE addition this year. @OwenTheTonk and @Kittehboi are "sailing" a land yacht version of their pirate ship THE BLACKPAW , and most-likely plundering the other krewes for booze,, beads, and whatnot.

We will have a float and Krewe of #OTRB Anipals,

And of course our famous classic #NipClub Krewe.

We also invite you to design additional your own floats and Krewes if you wish. Submit them to @TinyPearlCat and we'll put rhythm right here in this post.

Or just come a.d bounce from Krewe to Krewe having a blast. What happens at #NipClub Mardi Gras stays at #NipClub Mardi Gras. Not that you'll probably remember much after you recover. MOL.

If you have a special costume request, please contact @RealFakeGator at #NipClub Outfitters ASAP. It's Mardi Gras. There are no rules. Just have fun and enjoy a great time with friends.

And now a few words from @MrWuggums,  organizer/guest host:

@MrWuggums

Hello, I am Mr. *Big Chief* Wuggums, organizer of #CatCarnivale! 

Cat Carnivale is a celebration of all things feline, yet inclusive to all anipals and their hooms, in a cheerful festival atmosphere. It's a chance to meet, gather together and enjoy carnivale-themed events hosted by various groups and organizations that already offer wonderful activites throughout the year.

Togetherness and caring support for those around us is a hallmark of the community that Cat Carnivale is a part of. The kindness and cooperation among the many clubs that volunteered to host the wide variety of parades, masquerade balls, feasts, trips and tours and so many other cheerful events highlight that community spirit. 

The events are as widely varied as the groups that host them, most events are based on the clubs usual activities yet perhaps with a Mardi Gras theme - such as this weekends' appearance by #The Aviators which featured some very festive smoke trails in purple-gold-green. Many of the events have similar themes of classic New Orleans or the Italian Carnivale, leading up the last day of Fat Cat Tuesday when all revelers are encouraged to don masks and celebrate together with wild abandon! I am thrilled to have #NipClub as a part of this unique and groundbreaking festival which Xanawu hopes will become an annual event
