Note to Self...
Next time I decide to show up to a 7:30 event where Rob Bell is speaking, don't show up at 7:30. That's what I did last night because I was coming from work....and yeah, when I got there the doors were overflowing, there was no room in the auditorium and people were crammed together in the lobby on the floor and the courtyard was filled with people sitting everywhere as his talk was piped out through speakers.
That's what happened when I went to hear him at Fuller last night. My wife and I stood the whole time outside listening to his amazing message, and we stayed through most of the Q and A, but eventually left after an hour and a half because it was just so crowded. It was interesting to see the diversity of people Rob Bell drew. Fuller is already a very diverse place ethnically, but every country seemed to be represented there last night, and every age demographic. Rob Bell definitely has a large following and it's easy to see why after his talk. Powerful stuff.

Yeah, my wife and I got there about 7 p.m. and thought it was crowded then. We were able to squeeze into the back of the auditorium and stand the whole time. I had NO idea there were that many people outside!
I hadn't heard Rob Bell speak live before. It was great to experience the authenticity and passion with which he brought his message. We just moved to Pasadena about a week ago, so I'm glad we were here for it!
