That's a Great Idea! "We threw an illegal party at Ocean
Beach once. We hiked with the equipment for a mile on no sleep,
set up shop, dropped the first record, and got shut down in the
middle of it," he laughs. "So we moved the party to
Hunter's Point, set everything up, and then as soon as it got
dark, these guys came down on us with shotguns and started mugging
everyone. I thought that was a pretty good party."

Essential '80s Album Pornography by The Cure. ("I
really do love that record, but I know Barrie will try to twist

Why He's Occasionally Seasick When they're not being held
up by gunpoint, Solar's parties are usually really good! In addition
to an always rousing Sunday night residency at The Top, Pacific
Sound--the DJ collective he's part of--is also the promotion team
responsible for San Francisco's legendary Sunset outdoor and boat
parties.

Jack Your Body! "I went through a full-on raver phase
when I first got into the scene. I mean, I wasn't the mashed-up
kid that was passed out on the warehouse floor or wearing candy,
but I was definitely a speaker bunny," he laughs. "We'd
go to these cracked-out Chicago parties where there'd be homeless
people outside saying, 'I'll watch your car for five bucks.'"

Holier Than Thou! "In the early '90s, I spent almost
2 years as a Hare Krishna monk," he recalls. "I was
totally oblivious to what was going on in the outside world, but
I think that was a good thing. My only regret was keeping my head
shaved. I have a horribly shaped skull."
