Pop Punk The Aughts Episode 1: American Idiot

The boys eased the van into the parking lot and slowly got out. Cameron, John and Memphis stood before a towering bright green and orange circus tent. Scrawled in the banner above the entrance were the words "Punx Rawk!" with a little anarchy symbol in place of the A.

"You sure this is the place?" John asked, looking around. "There aren't any people."

"Yeah, this is the address Blink Stinkson gave us." Cameron replied, pulling out his phone. "I guess I could tex--whoa. You guys have service? My phone has negative four bars."

Memphis, who had been examining the asphalt near the van, checked his phone as well.

"Yeah, I got nothing. Does this look like blood to you guys?" Memphis asked, pointing at a large stain on the tarmac.

Before either of the other two could answer, there was a loud boom followed by a swirl of smoke emerging from the tent entrance. A dark cackle beckoned them.

"Step right up boys! We're only in town one night and one night only! This is your chance to see ALL the greatest pop-punk acts from 2000 to 2009 and the best part is: IT'S ALL FREE!"

The voice trailed off into more laughter as the boys looked at each other.

"This seems like a bad idea," John said.

"Yeah, probably," Cameron replied, locking the van with the key fob. "But I didn't take the day off work to play it safe."

The boys approached the tent and stepped inside. What awaits them? Stay tuned.
