"Very
funny stuff. Very imaginative... the multi-voicing is
excellent!"
–
Philip Proctor, The Firesign Theatre
"...
a relaxed feel to the voicework, not trying too hard... comes
across as likeable, and a bit strange."
–
Philip Austin, The Firesign Theatre
"...
I just heard Rob Foster. I laughed so hard I hurt."
– Joe Baker, KWES-FM, New Mexico

Welcome
to "my space" on the Web. I'm Rob Foster – what is commonly known
in arts & entertainment as a multi-hyphenate, mainly because
I'm the one guy I can afford who's willing to do so much. I'm
nearly always involved with something funny. A lot in life is
funny, and often when you seek out what's funny in life, you get a
glimpse of what's true. Some
who self-promote on the
Interwebs hire
teams of caffienated web designers to keep their site current and
trendy – I only have me. Please hang tough, and visit back from
time to time, as I – yes – update this thing on a somewhat regular
basis, shore up links to actual content, and even occasionally add
new ones. Click around a bit while you're here, and enjoy yourself.
Laughter is aerobics for the soul.
(We’re...
I’m... rebuilding at the moment. This rather utilitarian homepage
is holding the parking space for something incredible... *cough*...
Some links may be either temporarily disconnected, or still hooked
up to pages from my old site, and will appear alarmingly sloppy
compared to this mesmerizing homepage. Please be kind. Fresh,
crispy, all-new pages will link up
soon!)
Come
on in and click around – you have the entire rest of the day to be
globally sensitive, politically diverse and obsessed over your
environmental footprint. And if you can make some time to scrub the
shower too, that would be great.

QUALITY TIME WITH MY HEROES
Once in a while, someone comes along in a formative stage of your life and does a lot more than just inspire you – their example serves to inform you of who and what you are, or aspire to become. Recently I had the immense privilege to meet and spend time with four such individuals whom collectively were such a "someone" in mine. The picture above was not created in Photoshop – from right to left, that's Philip Proctor, (me in the cheap Hawaiian shirt and the multiple chins I sported then), Philip Austin, Peter Bergman and David Ossman – The Firesign Theatre! That hippy in the back is our 16th President...The group was in town for their show "Forward Into The Past," the 40th Anniversary of Nick Danger, on the 24th, at the historic Golden State Theatre in Monterey. The room you see is the dressing room foyer which sits directly underneath the stage. The theatre building itself dates back to the Vaudeville era.
The
men had just begun planning the "play list" when I busted in on the
proceedings. Fortunately they were in an amicable mood and let me
pull up a chair. The photos I took were for publication with my
preview article about them. I couldn't quite drive fast enough to
beat presstime, but I saved room on the camera chip for a shot with
them.
The
article, and the above referenced photos, can be seen
here.
