The next chapter in the story line of Renegade Reps is page turned and the ink is wet. Renegade Reps Hookah is underway. This story couldn't have been more fulfilling for me, as we got the new business underway at a location that is dear to me. 
The mobile hookah business came to mind when we realized that there are a great number of people who have not been exposed to the wonderful world of hookah and those people may never take the step themselves to buy a hookah or step into a hookah lounge to gain the experience. With a mobile business, we get to take the experience to them, giving them a chance to try the idea out in the security of their own environment. 
So when I asked my good buddy Daneaux if we could make our premier at his 420 Party at Mermaid Juice in Mount Dora, I was extremely excited when he agreed to the plan. Additionally, in honor of 420, they were going to serve one of my favorite brews, Hazed and Infused, with hop brownies. Mike Wallace from Terrapin was also popping in to tap their cask of Mosaic Rype PA. 
We set up around 5:00 and was surprised at how many folks were not only interested in smoking on some shisha, but how many had been curious for some time and had not taken the plunge. That's a great sign for a new business when you have a lake of wonder dammed up by reticence. As a business, the only thing you need to do is put concerns at ease and you've already got a great level of demand. Very encouraging. Josher and Tomo came down to help out and it's a good thing. Demand was much higher for hookah rental than I had anticipated and I would have never been able to get through it on my own. The customers that we gained were very cool people and it was great to be able to answer their questions and curiosities pertaining to smoking shisha.
We have a bunch of events already locked down for the near future and are adding on constantly. Beginning next week, we will have a constant weekend gig at Cafe Davinci in DeLand. Look us up and check us out. Cheers!
