Velvet Elvis by Rob Bell

[Murf]

Anyone read this book?

Or anyone know about Rob Bell from Mars Hill Bible Church?

No, but we had a bar in Houston called the Velvet Elvis that was closed down a few years ago for violating the publicity rights of "the King." It changed its name to the Velvet E.

if they had dogs playing poker on the walls i'm glad they closed down.

someone at my church led a class that discussed the book- unfortunately i cannot give any details about the book's contents.

Oh, they didn't close down -- and, yes, they had dogs playing poker as I recall. As coincidence may have it, I drove past it today, and it's now called the Velvet Melvin. I suspect it still has the same artwork and "decor."
