20 YEARS AGO SEAN AND I PULLED OFF THE FIRST TIHC. NO INFLUENCERS, NO REAL SPONSORS.
IT WAS A PUSH AGAINST THE 2005 HELLFEST THAT IMPLODED UPON THE SCENE THE PREVIOUS SUMMER.
WITH ALOT OF PEOPLE BARELY MAKING ENDS MEET AND THE ECONOMY TANKING, THE BEST DIRECTION TO TAKE WAS BACK TO A PRIVATELY OWNED VENUE IN READING, PA WHOSE OWNER HAVE BEEN BOOKING FOR ALMOST 40 YEARS NOW. ONE DAY WITH A GREAT COLLECTION OF OLD, NEW, UPCOMING AND BURSTING ON THE SCENE LEVEL BANDS. PARTNERING WITH DICE, WE HAVE A ONE TICKET WITH THE CHEAPEST POSSIBLE TICKET AND THE LOWEST FEE OF ANY FEST IN THE LAST 2 YEARS.

A FEW TIMES EARLIER IN THE YEAR I WAS JUST GOING TO LET IT REST A YEAR OR MORE AS THERE WAS SO MANY OTHER FESTIVALS THIS YEAR BUT WITH THE HELP OF CHRIS, RICHIE, JESS AND EVERYONE WHO DIDN’T WANT TO SIT OUT THIS YEAR’S FESTIVITIES WE ARE MAKING IT HAPPEN.

WHAT COMES NEXT FOR TIHC ISN’T AS IMPORTANT RIGHT NOW AS JUST GETTING TO BE AROUND FRIENDS A FEW DAYS AROUND THE HOLIDAYS. HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL!

/ IS TIHC 20’S OFFICIAL SPONSOR. BE ON THE LOOK OUT FOR COOL COLLABS, FUNDRAISERS AND A RAFFLE AT THE FEST!

You guys took Twenty Second Tailgate and turned it into a People’s Choice for the Best of Berks Awards.

That's pretty damn cool.

What started as a way to get more eyes on local businesses has turned into thousands of people coming together, arguing over wings, discovering new spots, supporting local businesses and having a hell of a lot of fun doing it.

And that's exactly what we're about.
