[PANK] hosted a thing it called Invasions, sometimes reading, sometimes party, sometimes happening, that it could show something of its varied faces to the world, vent some of its pent up cacophonies, and gnash its sharpened teeth in good company. Sometimes we collaborated with other magazines, presses, or literary arts organizations, other times we flew solo. Regardless, Invasions were great fun and happened too infrequently.
