A lot has happened over the last 6 months – major unexpected surgery, a crazy increase in the hours I am working and – most importantly- a huge shift of my priorities. One of those is this site. Over the last 3+ years writing about and exploring the world of music I have encountered an amazing variety of sounds, sights and people. What began as a little project has become something I cherish deeply. Figuring out a way to make sure I can maintain a space that is as interesting to others as it is to myself has been a central mental volley for me as of late. And, I am happy to announce I have come to a realization. It is time for “The World” covered in this paper cup to become a little bigger.
One of the things that makes writing a music blog so fulfilling is the fact that it is an expression of something I am very passionate about. However, it isn’t the only thing I am passionate about. In fact, I am proudly ADD when it comes to the list of things that excite me; baseball, boardgames, quotes, people watching, spread sheets – I could go on but I’ll spare you. While each of these will probably thread occasionally through TWIAPC there is one passion in particular I have decided to make a more central part the site: food. From this point forward The World In A Paper Cup will be a site dedicated to noise and noms.
Over the next few days and weeks you’ll start to see exactly how these two focuses will come to life. Sometimes you’ll find a little bit of both topics in one post, sometimes you’ll find one or the other. Hopefully, you’ll always find it interesting. I have also made the decision to add a few more regular writers to the roster. You’ll get a proper introduction to the first contributor this week.
I am incredibly excited about the evolution of The World In A Paper Cup and really look forward to providing you all with a more interesting soundtrack and menu to use in your own world.
Oh yeah, I am still working out some kinks in the new design so bear with me.
Music and food – my two favorite types of blogs combined in one.
Sounds good to me.
Yeah I am pretty excited about it too!
