Ok, part of your problem is you're using that past form of the verb "sein"
rather than the word for "where". You might want to try "Wo", which
is at
least the right interrogative. Secondly, "dein" is the second person
possessive... basically, "your". You need to change it to "den",
since it's
a direct object.

Right now it reads "Was is your Hobo Leader?"

Change it to "Wo ist den Hobo Feuer?" and you're close enough that they'll
snicker at your German after you leave, rather than look at you like you've
sprouted a breast from your forehead.
