Weekend rituals

Dia 28 del proyecto,
Santiago de Chile

Regardless of geography, certain rituals are regularly practiced among friends....like ladies' night at the discotheques, Saturday morning yoga or a poker tournament. I miss my regular activities with my San Francisco friends, so when I was invited to join a group in their weekly "fuck-a-thon," I didn't hesitate.

Despite the name, this is not an orgy or anything remotely sexual. Every Sunday, a group of friends hailing from around the world arrive at Andres and Stephanie's apartment to watch movies that "fuck with your mind." Think Momento or The Shining or Inception. Typically the group starts in the early afternoon and continues well into the night with various movies. Popcorn, soda and chips are sustenance for the duration. Occasional stops are taken for bathroom breaks and refilling empty glasses. Discussion flows freely after each movie. It is great way to spend a gray afternoon.
