So apperently my movie got chosen to be shown with all the grad films in September. Yay. The only problem is they only gave me $200 for travel expenses. That probably wont get me very far will it?

"Dear Mr. FlameofCallandor,

Congratulations! Your film THE BIG PULL has been chosen for the 2007 Hollywood Showcase Program!
On September 27th, 2007 you are invited to attend the Showcase screening at the Director’s Guild of America Theatre in Hollywood, CA. The Department of Radio-TV-Film will provide you with a stipend of $200 to assist in travel costs."

The $200 is probably for your plane ticket... hope you still have some of that Graduation money!

Head down to the City of Industry. 200$ will go along way.

Dude, it will not get you far at all. And if you need a hotel near the Director's Guild, which I think is near Fairfax and Sunset, have fun finding affordable lodging!

yeah, good luck with that 200 bucks.

Oh, and the steak dinners? More than $55.

If you do go and I say "if" because you'll need to get maybe ten times that amount to cover travel expenses if you're staying several days, you should have a lot of fun. That place is not far from a lot of cool bars and hang out spots - plus you could taxi down to Hollywood & Highland, which is super touristy and seems like a perfect fit for you. Tell the dude that dresses up like Darth Vader to give me my money back.

Los Angeles has no scenery to enjoy. It's all just sin and talkie pictures.

I have an extra closet you can stay in for $5 a night.

$200 will get you far (as long as you're willing to suck a mean dick).

Day passes on the bus go up to $5 starting July 1st. Still you could spend 40 days just riding the metro!

200 bux will get you 4 or 5 of the 8 seasons of Red Dwarf on DVD.

One of those underground nightclubs, where they will tie you up and raped you with fruit.

But serious, it wont you get you very far, you need about 4,000 to last a few weeks, um if you know some folks, if you wont anything, maybe a few days, um all depends on where you are going to be in LA.

Oh and, i'm serious about that nightclub, so watch where you are going

if you have a good suit you could probably be a gigolo, impossible to stay there longer than lunch if you're not one.

DVDS! Oh god I bought too many DVDs this month. SHAME

LA sucks, it's a shithole. hollywood itself is a piss-smelling hobo hangout. and $200 isn't going to get you much unless you're planning to live off 99cent cheeseburgers.
