Well, you know, I actually think people are being fairly reasonable about that tactic. Some people mentioned it, but there’s also been some sympathy for Mr. Crepe, because people generally liked it when it was on Holland Street and were sad to see it close, and also, it really seems like Mr. Crepe is caught in the middle.

Gotcha. I have to play the villain, you see … it’s my essential nature.

If people pledge to boycott anything, it should be the Somerville Theater and the Capitol Theater in Arlington; the owner is the landlord in question.

Heh. I’m aware that there’ve been some labor disputes, but the Somerville is not only a non-chain theatre, but also the venue that brings acts like Mission of Burma, Low, and Jonathan Richman to our fair ‘hood.

I will, unfortunately, be out of town.

But I will be stopping by on the way home from work tonight! The least I can do is sign a piece of paper saying I want the Someday to stay.

During the meeting it was revealed that the owner of Mr. Crepe had not yet signed a lease on the space. “I feel bad for the whole situation,” says Mr. Crepe owner Peter Creyf, “and I feel that I’m being put in a situation that I don’t want to be in.”

The threat of a boycott might be effective to convince the landlord that Mr. Crepe might have a hard time, but it also might make the Someday supporters seem like thugs and make it even less likely that the owner would want to keep it there.
