We had a feeling this was too good to be true… we hate when we’re right sometimes. Andrew WK will not be in Bahrain as a cultural ambassador on behalf on the State Department over the holidays. His abruptly canceled trip still has not been given a reason from the State Department, all the details from Pitchfork are here.  Pity, we were really looking forward to Andrew spreading his message of positive partying to Bahrain. Could this have lead to peace in the Middle East? We’ll never know, but we do know what Andrew WK’s NYC apartment looks like. Rebecca Smeyne photographed it back in June, perhaps he’ll be here for the holidays.
