Review by Carrie Knife:
We were at the venue when the doors opened, so we were able to stake our claim to a great place stage left directly in front of Kasim. The venue was pretty full and appeared to be close to "standing room only" downstairs at least. It was hard to tell how full the balcony was. We got to meet several people from TRC and MySpace before the show, great bunch of people including the infamous Doug from Rundgren Radio!

The set list was pretty much the same as it has been this tour:
Buffalo Grass, I Hate My Frickin' ISP, Black Maria, Soul Brother, Mammon, Fascist Christ, I Saw The Light, Black and White, Lunatic Fringe, 1 Lowest Common Denominator, Drive, Tiny Demons, Mystified / Broke Down, Slut, The Walls Came Down, and One World.

The encore was an amazing performance of Hawking and Worldwide Epiphany.

Todd seemed to be at the top of his game and thoroughly enjoying himself. Kasim and Jessie were as tight as ever after the short break before the East coast leg of the tour. Michael Urbano did a good job of keeping up with the veterans.

It is always a pleasure to see Kasim play with Todd. He was as gracious as ever and even took time to greet me from the stage after the encore, which was a huge surprise! Dave and I were able to speak with him after the show as well and take a couple of photos. We are very excited that Kasim's schedule will hopefully allow him to do a short solo tour soon. That is one venue we haven't seen him in as of yet and we are really looking forward to it.

Thank you Kasim, Todd, Jessie and Michael for yet another memorable evening!
