It looks like teenage promoter Bryson Del Valle won't have to dip into his parents' pockets to cover the damage left by the hardcore punk gig he booked at a Southern California Denny's restaurant earlier this month. In fact, he might have enough left over to pay for a college class or two.
Punk rock icons Green Day caught wind of the story following some major news coverage (via Time, Newsweek, Fox News, etc.) last week and contributed $2,000 to Del Valle's GoFundMe over the weekend.
Between his own fundraiser and the one launched by the band who played the gig, Wacko, a total of roughly $4,700 has been raised on Del Valle's behalf, more than enough to cover the $1,800 he owed for damage to the Denny's dining room.
Props to Green Day for supporting the California punk scene.
