| Pastor Ken Hutcherson, prominent evan-jellyfish |
Perhaps it takes an “Evan-jellyfish with no spiritual vertebrae” to know one? From The Stranger:
Pastor Ken Hutcherson called a minute ago. The Antioch Bible Church pastor and gay marriage opponent says Town Hall (seating capacity 850) is not a large enough venue for the debate on January 18. Unless the event is moved from Town Hall to the Meydenbauer Convention Center in Bellevue, Hutcherson would cancel. That venue costs $10,000 and, Hutcherson said, we’d likely have to charge admission to cover the cost of the new venue. Hutcherson adds that Stephen Pidgeon, an attorney and the other anti-gay-marriage debater, is also pulling out due to concerns about the size of the venue.Over 800 people already have tickets, Town Hall has booked the great hall, Dave Ross has agreed to moderate, and the Seattle Channel is planning to live-stream the debate—so even those without tickets will be able to watch and listen. Hutcherson and assistant Rachael Whaley were unequivocal last week that they were committed to participating at Town Hall. “Left you a message to say Steve Pidgeon is in,” Whaley wrote in an email last Thursday afternoon. “So it will be Pidgeon and Hutcherson.”
We can’t move to a new location on such short notice.
The search is on to find replacements.

Ken Hutcherson, “If I can’t make a dollar, I won’t be there”.
I said it there, I’ll say it here.
Chickenshit.
Another reason why little Kenny wanted a bigger room is that it wasn’t big enough for his HUGE ego!
