Free futon

I've got a new couch arriving soon and I'd really like to get rid of the futon that's in my living room. It's a thick full-sized futon with an armless pine wood frame. It's got a black cover which has a small rip in it. It works as a bed or couch.

There's a picture behind the cut. It's available for free to the first person who volunteers to come to East Somerville and pick it up.

i just wanted to inform you, the denizens of davis sq.
that mr. crepe will be closing at the end of sept.

the purpose of this post is two fold...

1) so those of you that enjoy this fine eating establishment
know that you have a limited time to continue to indulge in crepey goodness

2) to ask if any of you know of available retail space
anywhere in the area of camberville

as of right now there is no new location for mr.crepe
the owners are scouting for spaces but have yet
to come up w/ anything that is viable

just wanted to spread the word on this, since as an employee there
i'm aware that mr.crepe has a loyal, and generally friendly, following
