Every story has a beginning. Every story has an end. This is this story’s beginning. I haven’t started working on the end yet.
For those that collect things, the end is always tantalisingly in sight. And bittersweet; it’s also the beginning. There are always more things to collect.
Welcome to my Blog. I run Kollecta. It’s just starting. Kollecta is a web site for people who collect things. That means everyone. There are 65,812 sites out there for collectors. That’s true. How will Kollecta be different? One word – Warmth. Yes, I gave it a capital, because it’s Very Important. True collectors have a Warmth to them, and it’s that Warmth I want to filter onto the site. Warmth, you say? I’m talking about the difference between a light bulb and a fluorescent tube. The difference between a valve amplifier and a transistorised version. A home-cooked meal with friends and McTasteless in the city. That kind of Warmth.
True collectors also have Passion. There’s another capital. Real Passion, the kind you see in people who travel 420 miles to attend a collecting convention. People who can tell the difference between the English and U.S.pressings of Joy Division’s “Atmosphere” 12″ single. People who aren’t complete until their collection is.
Well, that’s it for the first post. I just wanted to draw a line in the sand and go from there. I’d like you to join me on the Kollecta ride. Please do. It’s going to be fun.
