The late-night chats over bourbon at Bourbon return with guest Simon Jacobsen, an architect who was once the drummer in old Dischord Records band State of Alert (fronted by Henry Rollins). He is also the son of revered architect Hugh Newell Jacobsen (a pioneer in housing design who has made additions to the U.S. Capitol, among other projects). How's that for a full life? Daryle Maciocha (a.k.a. DJ D-Mac) takes on the interview, which will cover modernism and music and dear ol' Dad.

For nearly a year, the Modernist Society has been combining its monthly DJ party at Bourbon with a discussion with people of note, including Josh Rushing of Al Jazeera International, photographer Richard Kern and "Heavy Metal Parking Lot" filmmaker Jeff Krulik. It's intellectual discourse with drink specials. This month's guest is local hipster-mogul Eric Hilton of the band Thievery Corporation, Eighteenth Street Lounge and ESL Music. Afterward: $3 brews and bourbon along with funk, soul and dub on the dance floor.

"I [...] trust Daryle Maciocha, a.k.a. DJ D-Mac not to play annoying techno or any of Mother’s music suggestions and to keep people dancing with a shake-it selection."

"Being huge fans of any event that simultaneously stimulates AND destroys our brain cells we were THRILLED to see the reimagined Modernist Society make its way back onto the last Thursday of the month scene as a debaucherous salon of sorts."

"We missed the free gin, but Brightest Young Things kids were there to steal our soul through wicked scenester photography, one of the Going Out Gurus gave the night the Post’s imprimatur, and everyone largely left us alone as we sat at the far end of the bar eating dinner. A+ would attend again."
