Dear Andrew W.K.,

“There is no such thing as adventure and romance, there is only trouble and desire. When you desire something you immediately get into trouble and when you’re in trouble you don’t desire anything at all”. This is one of my favorite quotes from a movie. I was wondering do you have a favorite quote from a movie? Thanks!!

Dear Chompers, That is a very interesting quote. It really made me think. I wonder if that’s always the case. Romance—wow! What does that even mean? I love what I think romance is. Being romantic is being unafraid. I really love “Lord Of The Rings” very much, and in “The Fellowship Of The Ring” there is a scene which goes something like this: Frodo is talking to Gandalf about his troubles while they are in the mines. Golem is following them and Frodo wishes that Bilbo would’ve killed Golem when he had the chance. Gandalf reminds Frodo that Bilbo spared Golem’s life out of pitty. Frodo then goes on to wish that the ring had never come to him. Gandalf says something like, “So do many who live to see such days. But it is not our choice. We can only choose what to do with the time we are given.” I know that’s not word for word, but it is close enough. Many things will happen that are not fair. Many things will happen that we wish would not. All we can do is act upon them. What are you going to do? Be strong. Frodo remembers what Gandalf had said again, just as he’s about to throw the ring into the river. He realizes - What is it to lead a life without resolve and courage? What kind of life is lead without risk or bravery? He will be true to the situation that he has come into, and he will not back away in fear. I love that movie with all of my heart, and I feel wonderful just thinking about it now. Your friend, Andrew W.K.

Dear Andrew W.K.,

May I call you Andy?
—Derek WK

Dear Derek,

You can definetly call me Andy! Please do! All my good friends and the guys in the band—they all call me Andy. It’s funny because for a long time no one called me anything but Andrew. When I was younger my Mom used to tell me “Don’t let any one call you anything but Andrew”, and I said “O.K.”. But bit by bit, the nice nick names took their places, and no one could do anything about it. I like nicknames and I like Andy. I also had a job where I was called Drew. The landlord at where I was called Drew. The landlord at my old apartment and all the neighbors called me Andy, and that’s kind of how Andy really started. Jimmy Coup (who plays guitar with us), he calls me Andy ever since he heard the landlord call me that. It’s cool! CALL ME WHATEVER YOU WANT!!! But don’t call me late for dinner! Thank you!

Your friend, Andrew W.K.

Dear Andrew W.K.,

why do you feel chocolate as drugs?
—nmii

Dear Nmii,

Chocolate is like a whipped, over covered, smoothed silk sweet snack. When it’s fresh out of the oven, a baker’s pride is sensed for miles. And while I don’t claim to know a lot about chocolate, I’ve heard that chocolate has some druggie doubles: flavor with fall outs and co-co with caffeine. I think it’s supposed to be good for your blood and your heart, of course it’s got a lot of sugar and that can build up into insulin spike-drops and the resulting fat-flow. Most of all, I think chocolate tastes good, so good in fact that it gives me a rush and a flow, and when it flows I go! Burst it!!!

Your friend, Andrew W.K.

I wish, I wish, I could make this stuff up. All of this is totally genuine.
