Meet The Press

I was on a panel last night at OFFICE called Meet The Design Press and it struck me that there was a very interesting difference between UrbanHonking and the other media on the panel.

Leading up to the event I thought about what UrbanHonking writes about, and aside from the SuperCal (coming back, I promise), we don't really "cover" many things. I've written about things as if we're press, and even occasionally sent someone to an event to cover it, but generally UrbanHonking is more about creating something.

During the panel I mentioned this to the audience. UrbanHonking doesn't want to write about what you are doing, UrbanHonking wants to get involved in what you are doing. We want to document it, participate in it, and generally blog the shit out of it. (As I was explaining this I was thinking to myself about how UrbanHonking is this loose group of creative people who can do just about anything.)

We're not the "press". Which maybe seems pretty obvious to most people, but I found it a little bit profound.
