Magic Sandwich: You're in NYC and you hail a cab, describe the driver.
Ready to steal your milk money: Dylan Rogers from Sonic Love Affair, Tim, and "co-Streaker" Mike Farrell on Thanksgiving Day 2005- photo by Jay Spooner
Tim Foster: I really don't like to take cabs.... when I was in NYC I walked everywhere. If I WERE to hail a cab, I'd hope that it was driven by Philip Glass. There's a great story about a society matron that hailed a cab... She pointed out to the driver that he had the same name as a reknowned composer. Of course it was THE Philip Glass driving the cab 'cause he couldn't make ends meet as an avant garde composer....
MS: What old-fashioned invention, or a newer one that got phased-out, do you miss or would you want to try and use?
TF: Printing presses. I love those dents in the paper.
MS: Rename a famous band.
TF: I've often thought that truth in advertising laws should have required Led Zeppelin to be called 'the Wastes of Skin'.
MS: What member of a news team/program would you want to be (anchorperson, sports, on the scene reporter, etc...?)
TF: The Foreign Correspondent.

MS: Would you rather be constantly sweaty or constantly itchy?
TF: Is this a trick question?... I AM constantly sweaty.
MS: Fill in the middle of these two phrases to make a sentence- you can use either phrase as the first phrase, but the other phrase must be the last 2 words: Sacramento music; my underpants
TF: Fran, you've stumped me. Let's just say that I like to keep a wall of separation between Sacto music and my underpants.
MS: Where in Sacramento do you wish you could just set up and play, without regard to logistics, noise or disruption?
TF: Lil Joes on Del Paso Blvd.
MS: If you could preach from the pulpit like any loud, enthusiastic preacher, who or what would you sound the praises of? Give a sample of your “fire and brimstone” sermon…
TF: I'm a devout agnostic, but I am a follower of the 'Square Deal' philosophy as outlined by Theodore Roosevelt.
My fire and brimstone sermon: If you are a racist,fuck you. If you are an anti-homosexual bigot, fuck you. If you support a war, enlist; if you expect someone else to fight it for you, you are a coward. Reject all superstition. Never cheat at anything. Read. Think. Work.
ok, off soapbox....
MS: If you could perform surgery, what would be your specialty? Any reason why?
TF: Laser eye surgery. I had this done about ten years ago and it was the closest thing to a 'conversion experience' that I've ever had. I went from coke-bottle glasses to none, and it just opened the world up for me.
 
MS: What is the grossest thing that has touched your tongue?
Nice shot, Spooner...Cesar Chavez Park 2005.
TF: An ex-girlfriend who shall remain nameless.
