    Honestly, as a musician this story is pretty inspiring. This guy quickly changed career paths in a city with no friends, had a hugely embarrassing first step, then went to on sell a boatload of a records with a militia's worth of genuine fans, all while maintaining whole other bodies of work.
    Good job, Andrew.

      I met him outside the Electric Factory (a medium-sized venue in Philadelphia) almost 20 years ago. He opened for whoever it was i went to see. Sadly, I missed his bands' set. Anyway, he came out and I was standing there holding like 4 bottles of water. He asked me for one and when I gave it to him, he was super appreciative and grateful. It took a second for me to realize who he was. Then I was like, "wow, Andrew w.k. is profusely thanking me for a bottle of water." We talked for like 40 minutes and afterward we shook hands and he pulled me in for the quick hand-shake-man-hug. But, yeah, he was so nice and friendly. And, he really gives you his attention. I've met lots of bands and band members (mostly metal bands). But, Andrew was one of the most down to earth, polite and sincere guys I've ever had the pleasure to meet.
      10 out of 10, would meet again.

    Ah man, this hit me hard. In 2009 I went to audition for an MTV reality show. I wanted to be an actor, but had no clue as to what that world was like. I was barely 20.
    I showed up to the audition and there was a panel of 3 people sitting at a small fold out portable white table. Ya know, the ones with the grey fold out legs?
    They handed me a script and asked me to read from it. I got through it, but with absolute nervousness unlike any I'd ever experienced. I choked some of my words and fumbled with the paper. I must've looked so dumb.
    Afterward, one of the people at the table walked me out and said "I saw on your application you had 6 years of theatre and drama. What happened?"
    I told him the truth. I'd never been in such a personal space. When I auditioned in middle and high school everyone knew me so I was comfortable. Here... I was in unknown territory.
    He told me "You won't get this spot, but with a bit of practice you'll be able to get others."
    Never auditioned again out of embarrassment, but the words kinda stuck with me. I apply that same logic in most things I do these days.

    The best part of this is that it's someone who isn't a comedian doing stand-up, and he's not telling prepped material, he's just telling a story. Obviously the music thing worked out for him in the end, the biggest take away is never be afraid to fail. It's painful, but you pick yourself up, dust the dirt off, and keep going.

    this is so awesome, made me want to cry. over came a shit situation, and dealing with stage fright to tell the story. think this could be very therapeutic to those with public speaking or performance fears. Even if it goes bad, life goes on and long run, it's not a big deal.

    I like the really awkward style with which he told his story. I think that made it funnier than it would have been otherwise, to me at least. Also, I understand being on a certain time frame but you shouldn't just rudely cut off a performer, however inexperienced they may be. That's just bad form.
