So I just arrived from the Vans Warped Tour 2005 in Quebec City. It rocked.

I first saw Senses Fail and Avenged Sevenfold. Good. Then, The Offspring. Great. And hot. After, bands like The Transplants, Hawthorne Heights (to which I give my rookie band of the year award) and Fall Out Boy.

And finally, Dropkick Murphys. Seriously, if you don’t know that band, you’ve gotta listen to it.

Punk isn’t dead.

Update: Forgot to mention that I shook hands with Dexter Holland.
