Roar of Steven: On Tote Bags

padnick:

Ah the Tote Bag.

I don’t “tote” a lot of things. Men’s fashion means I can carry my most important traveling possessions (keys, phone, wallet) in my pants, and for bigger objects I have used the same messenger bag for the past eight years. But for some reason every politician, charity…

Great thoughts from Steven on swag and Ruckus NYC. A great reminder that members of affinity groups want to show their membership in those affinity groups. One of our panelists, Rachel Fershleiser, told a story about starting to wear glasses all the time instead of some of the time, because when she wore contacts other glasses people wouldn’t identify her as a glasses person herself.

We like to show what groups we’re part of, and if you’re building a community around your art…. that counts.
