Bagalloon
My first T&S was Orlando in 2017 and I had no idea what I was getting into. I had followed T&S for about a decade before I attended/vended at my first T&S in 2017. With a little luck and Lisa McIntire twisting my arm I drove from Cleveland to Orlando. I had no idea what I was doing and was a nervous wreck. I hardly knew anyone but come to find out everyone knew me. Some from my early bags but mostly from jumping on YouTube in 2006 with twisting tutorials. Tony Twist who was teaching that year came up to me for a selfie. I was stunned and asked why me? He said he learned his first balloon from one of my YouTube videos.
I learned a lot that first time vending and I asked so many questions. The most requested thing was a balloon bag with wheels. Around this time Rose Burkholder also joined Lisa and I in brainstorming and she suggested Zuca Rolling Bags/Carts. I was leaving for Nepal in 3 days and had one shipped to me the day before my flight. That year we came up with the Aloha and the rest is history.
