Overview

PAN Magazine. Is that in a goat-legged Greek deity/wow that initial bit of Narnia was creepy/The Secret History kind of a way? Or an out of the frying PAN magazine into the fire deal? PAN, as in 'across the spectrum' is probably a better guess, like how a pandemic is different from an epidemic. But then again, looking at those categories, PAN is pandemic in that it's crowdsourced, takes submissions openly, is definitely hot stuff, and this week its second issue is being launched in a den of satyrs.

The World Bar has long and commendably dedicated its Wednesday nights to affairs of The Arts in an atmosphere that is soundtracked and as boozy as you need it to be. The launch of PAN's second edition (after a first that sold out two whole entire print runs) is a stand-up addition to this calendar, with people like Penguin Plays Rough's Pip Smith reading out words and people like Kirin J. Callinan playing musical sounds  and live drawings, and tigers, and bears, OH MY!
