Andrew WK live chat

Every Monday night Andrew WK does a party chat on stickam. He's been doing it for months and months, and more often than not it is the highlight of my week. He usually gives out prizes. Ranging from stickers and air fresheners, to shirts and live phone calls from Andrew himself. One time there was even an iTouch giveaway. You win these things through live contests Andrew decides then and there. Lately they have been the first person to correctly identify a picture of someone. I haven't won yet, but it is always entertaining to play.

More fun than the contests though, is interacting live with Andrew each week. He talks about anything and everything. Sometimes he'll have a topic ready to go, and other times he'll answer questions from the fans. In addition to this he also always does massive shoutouts to members on the livechat. This is probably what I enjoy the most. There are many people who are there for almost all the chats, and Andrew definitely remembers. He welcomes old, new and everyone in between. He sincerely wants everybody to have a good time. And it is always amazing.

Lately there have been computer problems on his end, which usually only result in some sound or video lag, but the last 10 or so minutes of today's party chat were utter chaos. The sound sped up and sounded crazy robotic. Simply watching Andrew is just as fun though. I think he realized the sound was messing up, so he just started being himself.

The following are a few screen shots I was able to grab.


(this was before the sound went crazy. He was showing us some of the post-it notes he keeps. The "I LOVE T.V." made me smile)

(this is when the sound was messed up. he started with just a finger in his cheek)


(finger tricks)


(the accompanying robot noises made this even better)


(invisible burger?)
