• We quaffed a few pints and ended up climbing a church in San Francisco's North Beach. Up in the old steeple, we spoke in the hushed, animated tones of teens at a slumber party, sharing stories of after-hours mischief from our past. By the time we were back on the street it was clear that for Law our holy trespass had been no fluke. As the stories came-of hanging like "a spider in a cathedral" in the deepest known free pit in the world (Mexico's Sotano de las Golondrinas) and commandeering an abandoned toothpaste factory for a post-apocalyptic costume ball-it was clear that he lives for these exploits.

After any amount of philosophizing, Law ultimately shrugs, "I don't know. I have no choice." Some make a great pizza, some perform open-heart surgery, others encode software pro grams.
