"Andrew WK has been named as a US cultural ambassador to the Middle East. The US Department of State has picked the &amp;#039;Party Hard&amp;#039; rocker to promote &amp;quot;partying and positive power&amp;quot; in Bahrain. He will travel to the country in December after being invited by the US embassy in Manama, in a joint venture with the US Department of State. WK will visit schools, the University of Bahrain and music venues to promote partying and world peace in the region. Talking about his appointment, WK said: &amp;quot;This is a tremendous invitation. I&amp;#039;m very thankful to the Department of State for giving me the opportunity to visit a place I&amp;#039;ve never been before. &amp;quot;I feel very privileged and humbled by the chance to represent the United States of America and show the good people of Bahrain the power of positive partying. &amp;quot;I can hardly wait for this adventure!&amp;quot; Earlier this year, Andrew WK appeared and gave a speech at the annual My Little Pony convention in Ohio.
