BYT was great. I regret not going to their New Year's party at Capitol Skyline Hotel with the roller skating in the parking garage.

In a similar vein, I would love for Fatback's disco dance parties to return too. What a time.

Of course! I'm somewhat of a red panda fan myself 🙂

The zoo isn't publicly funded like Smithsonian but from what I could tell, they take good care of the critters.

If you are willing to drive a little further to Wheeling, WV, the zoo at Oglebay has meet and greets with certain animals including red pandas.
