It’s another Geomagnetic.tv party, this time at the Gingerbread House — which is open for business again, apparently having gotten its permits in order.\u00c2\u00a0 San Francisco’s “War on Fun” has even gotten coverage in Reason<\/em> magazine<\/a>; as Lois Beckett asks in SF Weekly<\/em>, is it enforcement or harrassment?<\/a> Hopefully it’ll all be copacetic tonight …<\/p>\n
