He was always so kind to me at the festival. My fondest memory was a piratefest that was a weekend he reminded me I was different but as a pirate I could forget all the real stuff and be one of kind like a diamond. I knew then that coming back to festival live was where I will always be home away from home...sail on captain.

Robin always had the best sense of humor and could be a great partner in crime! My all time favorite memory of him is when we "Virgos" collaborated to scare Lisa around 2001ish. (OK, so it was a little mean, but all in good fun!)
He came by the house one day for something and saw an extremely lifelike green snake laying in my living room floor that Trevor and I had picked up from the zoo. He jokingly said that he should take it home and scare Lisa with it. I jumped on board immediately and told him he had to do it and video it so I could see her freak out!
Well, needless to say, Rob didn't do anything half assed...
A couple of days later, I receive a call scathing call from Lisa. She chewed me out up one side and down the other! Lol. After we hung up Rob called and said I needed to come over and watch the video (but I could still hear Lisa going off on him in the background). Of course I couldn't wait (even though I was a bit scared of her), and we headed right over to celebrate the shenanigans! Lisa was still mad, but hesitantly let us watch the video!
He had went all out, set the camera up in their bedroom, hid the snake under the sheets on her side of the bed.
Then he popped in front of the camera to set the stage of what was about to happen... *insert drumroll*
Lisa was in the bathroom. You could hear her the background, just talking, washing her face and changing into her gown. Then you see her come out of the bathroom, walk up to her side of the bed and throw the sheets back... next came the loudest scream I've ever heard come out of her mouth, followed by a few choice words!!
Then Rob rolls in to the picture hysterically laughing, turns the camera towards his face and then back at her. Lisa was lit!
She finally got over it, but still called us names every time we brought it up! Rob and I laughed a lot about that memory over the years!!! I loved and will miss my friend dearly!!
I wish I had the video to post it here for y'all, because it was hilarious... but Lisa would probably disown me!! 😁
