Teenager Turns Denny’s Into the Best Punk Club Ever, For One Night Only

The band started playing and pandomonium followed. Dozens of kids who couldn’t get in pushed through the emergency exits and joined a frenzied circle pit. Someone pulled down one of the restaurant’s light fixtures, another person threw a laptop in the mosh pit and, after being warned that the cops had been called, Del Valle agreed to shut the show down at the manager’s insistence — after one last song.

This whole thing is absolutely wonderful.
