Slog - Comments on Tabella Being Sold? http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/09/tabella_being_sold Originally posted at noon According to a source, Mars Hill Church is buying...TABELLA. Yes, Tabella, recently caught up in Mayor Nickel's nightlife holocaust, could end up as a new Mars Hill venue—much like the old Paradox—or as a new Belltown rock-a-church. According to the King County assessor's website, there hasn't been a sale. We've got calls out to Mars Hill and Tabella and we'll update soon. Update The evasive response from Mars Hill: Hi Jonah, Thanks for your email. Mars Hill Church is a multi-campus church that currently meets in several locations around the Seattle area.

This must be pretty new. At the city council meeting earlier this week, the guy who owns Tabella didn't seem like the type who would sell. He seemed more like he was fighting for his business.

Though the only thing more annoying then Christians and hipsters is Christian hipsters.

It's sneaky. Sneaky bastards, those Mars Hill folks. What happened to the whole "being in the world but not of it" thing? Being a church is one thing. Being a nightclub-gobbling conglomerate is quite another.

As soon as they miss a mortgage payment someone will get a deal on the place and can turn it into a gay bar or nightclub again perhaps leaving all the Toxic Christian memorabilia in place as a "theme".

Wires crossed by your source maybe? Or a battle of the Marses Hillses? Can't wait!

More than likely Tabella is doing some kind of turnkey arrangement with the former owners where it is technically a church owned by Mars Hill but they have a dance floor, charge a cover charge, play hip-hop and serve holy liquor but do not have to follow Seattle's Nightclub rules.

So i can no longer ignore the obvious

however them owning tabella maybe it would be one big place to put all their crazy followers? just a thought, lets find some good in this people.
