My son was called at 6pm our time with the news that he has been accepted into the American Film Institute Conservatory; classes start the 18th. We are thrilled that he got in and are trying not to panic. He is packing up all of his stuff from his summer apartment and driving the 5 hours home to Pittsburgh tomorrow.
Our initial thoughts are for him to fly to LA and try to find a "cheap" hotel for a few weeks. I was at a neighborhood party when I got the news. Several of the neighbors said that he absolutely must have a car so he should drive out. His car is an older model that has quite a bit of work done and was good for the cross-state driving but might not be up to California standards.
Tomorrow my H is planning to call several of his California friends to get their opinions on logistics. Unfortunately, the really good friend isn't close enough for S to stay with but he might be able to give some advice.
