On This Day In Kasim History
On This Day In Kasim History....February 19,1998 was the first time I saw Todd and the second time I saw Kasim. It was on Todd's With A Twist tour at The Coppermine in Petersburg, VA.
I made a YouTube video about the night. Here it is:

Here is some of my review:
I first met Kasim on February 19,1998 at Todd Rundgren's With A Twist concert in Petersburg, Virginia at the Coppermine. I saw him before and after the show.
I met him an hour before the show by accident. I was watching television in the bar area of the club. The television was on the wall and a pinball machine was below it. I saw that someone was playing pinball but I couldn't see who it was. So I kept on watching television. Then I looked down for a minute and when I looked up, guess who was looking at me from the pinball machine??? You guessed right if you said Kasim!! I couldn't believe it!! He must have thought that I was looking at him and not at the television.
He was dressed in black clothes and he had his hair down in his face. I think he was trying to blend in and not be noticed. While he was playing pinball, he had a soft drink in a styrofoam cup in his left hand and a cigarette in his right hand. I didn't know whether I should go over and say hi or not. I didn't want to bother him. But I thought what if I don't get to see him after the show? So I went over to him and I said hi and he said hi. I didn't know what to say to him because I was so nervous. Then he told me to not be nervous because there was nothing to be nervous about. (I'll always remember that!! :) ) I asked him if the band would be around after the show to sign autographs and take pictures and he said he thought they would. So I told him I would see him later and have a great show. He said okay.
The show was wonderful!! After the show, I waited for about an hour to be able to see him again. The band ate a late dinner at the restaurant next door. I waited by the bus door for him to come out of the restaurant. I met Jesse (Todd's guitar player) first. He was really nice. Then while Jesse was signing my With A Twist CD booklet, here comes Kasim!
He gave me his autograph and I took a picture with him. Unfortunately, I don't have the picture because a fan of Kasim's took the pic and she never sent it to me.
Kasim got on the bus and I got back in line to see Todd. Todd was sitting in the bus driver's seat signing stuff. He signed a Utopia calendar. I asked him if I could take a picture with him and he said "ok let me finish up here and I will get off the bus and take a picture with you."
Todd got off the bus and took a picture with me and my mom. He was so nice!
It was a night I will never forget. I still can't believe it was 10 years ago!

Kasim on tour with Todd Rundgren and Kasim's solo shows in February-March.
Kasim's back on tour with Todd Rundgren now. A mini tour. Same set list as in December's shows. Kasim still has the goatee. I don't really like him with it. When I see the pictures of him with it, I say that's his evil brother Tony! :) My poll on For The Love Of Kasim says no to the goatee. I wonder if Kasim has heard about my poll and voted? He probably voted yes. IMHO, I think he gets lazy sometimes and doesn't want to shave.
After Todd's shows, Kasim will be doing his tour with the Kasim Sulton Band. I wonder who's going to be in the band? I'm thinking Doug Kennedy, Mark Alexander, Randy Flowers, and maybe that guy who was with him in 2006-Dennis was his name I think. With a band behind him, he can do songs that he couldn't do if he were by himself. I've always wanted Kasim to do White And Red.
We should all find out soon when the other solo dates will be. Crossing my fingers for a Virginia show!

Happy Birthday Kasim!
Today is Kasim's 52nd birthday. He doesn't look 52. He looks more like 35! :)
I made a little tribute video for him. I sent it to him last night. I hope he's had a chance to see it by now.
Here it is.
Enjoy! :)

Kasim's coming to Alexandria.......
and I can't go! :(
He's going to be at The Birchmere with Todd. I was looking at the site a couple of weeks ago and it looks like a really nice place to play. They have very strict rules there: no audio, no video, and no cameras. I don't like that rule.
I'm looking forward to all of the reviews from that show and all of Todd's shows in December.
