So what's the plan? The plan is to see 100 concerts in the year 2006. Most people probably think i'm a fucking moron wasting my time and money...I completely agree. But i'm still gonna do this shit.
I've got a full time job as a Creative Director and only have a couple weeks of vacation time so i won't be on the road constantly. But, I'm not gonna be seeing shows only in and around the Chicagoland area. I plan all my vacations around concerts, so you'll see me in such top-notch locations as Tennessee for Bonnaroo Festival, throughout Europe with Umphrey's McGee and parts still unknown.
From jam bands to bluegrass, jazz to reggae, and maybe even a symphony orchestra or two, I plan on treating myself to a variety of different sounds. Maybe I'll even get my friends to sit down and jam out a set or two. Who knows? Umphrey's will definately be the driving force along my journey, but acts like Radiohead, Galactic, Matisyahu and dozens other acts will be the metaphorical glue that holds this concept together.
I've seen shows at Red Rocks, the Gorge, Giants Stadium, Alpine Valley along with various other sweet locales across the country, close to 80 in total. Music has always been an obsession. It's time to take this obsession to another level. Will you be there? Welcome aboard, bitches!

"100 Concerts in 365 Days was not Keith's original mission. He toyed with ideas to cure Polio, tear down the Berlin Wall, or become the first person to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. Finding someone else had already stolen his ideas, he broadened his search for something meaningful to secure his place in history. Alas, all the world's environmental, economical, and survival problems were either lacking in depth, not catchy enough, or completely beyond his skills set. So he redonned his thinking cap, a jester hat purchased on his last birthday at Medieval Times, and withdrew to his bedroom vowing to remain there until he had the answer. Twenty minutes later, when he awoke from his nap, he gave up and decided to declare a goal that would encompass all of his normal activities. The world will never be the samer." - Teri |

"I spit flows vanilla, strawberry and choc
Punks duck from the spray of my neopolitan glock
'06 is ON kid, KP got it on lock
He's gonna hit 100 concerts and he's coming to your block
This ain't a game like Monopoly or Chutes & Ladders
The verse is unstoppable, MAD like the Hatter
Three pitches, three strikes, see you later, next batter
Ain't no other MC be droppin' rhymes that are phatter
My rhymes is so potent, they'll make you think
The more you read, the more you'll be needin' a shrink
Your rhymin's like poo, cause you know that it stink
My favorite video game hero's name is Link
So check out the page and see where Keith be next stoppin'
The world tour is on, it's on and poppin'
From the Chi to the Dam, he be continent hoppin'
If I were a janitor, I'd spend more time moppin'"

"From banging beats into his steering wheel and pretending a baby MJ shoe is a cymbal to singing crazily at every stoplight to singing to himself in the shower, Keith's musical prowess strike fear in many. Not making it in his car-band endeavor, he decided to take his stupidity to another level. When he gets back from his tour he plans on engineering a musical car so he can broadcast his jazzy beats onto the street for all to agonize over. World, beware. When Keith is motivated, he gets what he wants." - Rachel |

"Whoa, whoa, whoa…slow down. Let me think here …Oh, what do I think, Keith's Quest? …Oh, Keith's Quest. What do I think about his quest? Hmmmm…nope, I don't think I like it. Nope, I don't really, I didn't really appreciate the idea from the get go. There are some Dwight Yoakum concerts that he should include in there, you know? He should tinker around a little more with the country. He should have been more balanced; instead he was not in tune with his country roots.
Yeah, the idea was good. No, it was bad. Yeah, nah." - Gregor |

"This is much better than last year's 100 public restrooms fiasco, but
not as interesting as the attempted 100 Humboldt Park crack whores
concept. His OCD and addictive personality never cease to amaze even
the most jaded and bored internet wanderer." - Freeland |

"When I think of Keith, words such as 'outgoing', 'prepared', 'ambitious' and
'daring' come to mind...traits Keith has strived for but has failed miserably at becoming. I'm sure that seeing countless concerts around the country will make him a softer, gentler human being that won't steal from the homeless and leave flaming bags of poo on peoples' porches." - Geltner |

"Keith is a very handsome and polite young man! He's extremely helpful neighbor. I was very excited to hear that he was going to be traveling around the world attending concerts. I wish him all the best and hope he succeeds and has a great time doing it. I'm very proud of him! I just wish he didn't swear so fucking often." - Blanche |

"If you need to justify a charitable donation, consider the fact that I have to deal with him at work, every single fucking day, day in day out, while he spews nonsense and throws things at me from across the small office we share. The more money he gets, the more concerts he sees, the less I have to look at his ugly face." - Doobster |

"I don't know what you expect to find out there, Keith, you know what you want better than me. But there's one thing I do know. I know I can stand here watching you destroy everything I've ever wanted in my life, wanting to smash your face with my fists, because you won't make even the slightest effort to offer happiness and still know that I love you. You mean so much to me that I'm willing to take all your abuse and insults and insensitivity. Because that's what you need to do to prove I'm not going to leave you. I'm sick and tired of running from places and people and relationships. You want me, then fight for me, because I'm sure as hell fighting for you!" - Nina |
