r1v3th3ad Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Just amazed and had to give a quick post. I know I'm breaking the forum member rule of "pics or it never happened", but my digicam has been busted for a long while now so yaaaa...Went across the street to the "good" bar in town, tonight. $3.25 for a cup of rum...Bouncer saw me and started pestering my about "wheres da hookah?"...as usual. I usually blow it off because I dont want to risk damage to it with how busy it can be, but tonight it wasnt bad.Single man blues band playing, I set up my hookah and some Schnozzberry and the night was set. It caused tiny conflict, but was a hit. Primarily the hippie crowd coming around, but they were educated on it and loved it. Owner of the bar told me I'm welcome anytime with it.The only problem I had, which I got sick of and eventually caused me to put it away, was the people calling it a NH...it really got on my nerves and I got sick of correcting people and arguing over it.Made a lot of new friends tonight though, it was freaking awesome.More details tomorrow when I'm fully sober.

blastoffbrett Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Man, I wish Ohio didn't have a smoking ban. I would love to bring a hookah around with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modisess Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 i would just ignore em' and keep on smoking.. sometimes i'll just nod if ever anyone mentions my hookah as a NH device, sometimes i just don't feel like fighting the fight.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r1v3th3ad Posted December 6, 2008 Author Share Posted December 6, 2008 Well, bars here can have smoking if their food sales are under 20%...which most of them made sure of it.But this is a first for me...I've tried denny's, perkins, eat n park...all of them when there was smoking and I got argued with that they would lose business.Last night, the owner questioned me about it and nht...told her I don't do it and even I did(again, I dont), that stuff would never go in there because of the bad name it could bring to hookah...told her I like being able to set up in public...told her a brief history of hookah and also about my activity here. Bouncer was trying to get her to smoke with us, but she was a little bit afraid.Saw lots of old faces, like people I worked with a yr and a half ago and haven't seen since.Dammit I need a camera. I'm gonna be setting up once a month there, next semester...by then I'll have a cam for pics and will revive this thread btw: I really do take it a lil too personally when people call it a NH, I told off an old guy who kept going "ITS BRING YOUR OWN NH NIGHT TONIGHT!"...again, with the owner being iffy about it, people saying that could bring negative attention to her bar as well as the hookah itself...could make me lose that privilege.

jezter6 Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 I got the same thing over the summer. I went to this Kabob place that had hookahs in the window, and we sat out smoking on the sidewalk while eating fruit and cool desserts. Everyone who went by gave us a look and "oh, they're smoking NHT in public!" and we just laughed. I think we actually thought it was funnier letting them think that than trying to tell em it was just Nakhla DA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilgrim Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Yeah I hate "educating" all those people that think I'm smoking nht out of my hookah in public. Funny thing is, a lot of them are a little disappointed when they find out it's "only shisha" I'm smoking... Bunch of uninformed addicts! No but seriously, those guys can get on my nerves sometimes, but you also get to know a lot of people that are genuinely interested, which makes it all worth it.

ryno Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Sounds like a good time rivet, and I know the feeling on not wanting to fight the fight, and it is always annoying when people call it a NH pipe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
