Hey Christy,
There's Shakespeare in the Cemetary thru the 29th. I'm aiming for this Sunday or let's have coctkails by the pool!

My roommate whom you will all get to know and is also named Clark) is playing Hamlet's Gravedigger in the Shakespeare in the cemetery performance. I was planning on going Sunday too. Anyone want to make this a group thing?

Clark

That would be great!
The website is
www.shakespeareinthecemetery.com.
Tickets are 20$ and it's at Hollywood Forever Cemetery on 6000 Santa Monica Blvd. In Hollywood. Gates open at 7 and the show is at 8:30. It's a really large place so let's meet on the left side by the enterance? I was going to bring some cheese and crackers. Say around 7:30? I think my scene partner for the Actors Studio will come with me, too.

Hey all local fellows. I remembered last minute that I have tickets to the John Williams at the Bowl tonight and I can't find anyone to go with so I thought I'd see if any of my future classmates would be interested. They're the cheap seats, but I've always thought John Williams night was one of the most fun because you have all the crazy Star Wars fans. Call or email me in the next two hours or I'm going by myself!

Is anything important happening between Aug 23rd and 1st day of classes (Aug 27th)???

Hello everyone,

Just registered on this forum and am attempting to post a message to you all, so fingers crossed it works!

My name is Nick Quinn and i'm gonna be one of the new editors.

I'm from London and next week my visa comes though. Yippee!

I must say that i spent nearly 5 hours waiting in line at the American Embassy last week in London. Boy are they strict!

It was worth it though as im quite excited to get my bags packed, sell my car, and rent out my flat.

Hope to get over to LA in about 3 weeks & looking forward to getting to know you all.

Best

Nick

Shakespeare in the Cemetery - Can't Make it

Last minute change of plans and now I won't make it tonight. Sorry!


Clark

Hey Clark,
Mabye we could all do a group thing some other time? I have to work tonight, but will probably go to the Shakespeare thingy before the 29th when it ends.
Ariane

Ariane,
I won't be in town till early August, so I can't make the Shakespeare in the Cemetery, and I'm sad because it sounds amazing! I hope you and anyone who goes enjoy the show!

Drinks at the pool, however, sounds lovely! Count me in! However, I'm not in your complex, but I'm real close!

Okay, drinks by the pool! Open invitation to anyone stopping by the Melrose/Kings Road area in West Hollywood (15 minutes from campus). The pre-orientation bbq and art gallery party sound great. Let me know if i can help with that. I know a few great djs. I am also a certified bartender for those of us who are 21 and over! haha. Looking forward to meeting all of you!

Hi all,
I wanted to let everyone know that I won't be attending AFI's screenwriting program after all. I was recently accepted for Production at the Florida State Film School. And though it was an immensely hard decision, as a prospective director I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to really learn my craft. I hope everyone has a wonderful year (and following year) and look forward to meeting some amazing writers/filmmakers (you guys) when Hollywood beckons in 2 years time. Good luck all and I wish you the very best.

Hello all!

I'm a little to the party, but I made it. Another Texan in the mix. Do we have enough for a mafia?

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but every summer the Hollywood Cemetary does screenings on Saturday nights.

These are alot of fun. I think it's 10 or 15 bucks a person. You can pack your car with whatever you want, make it an interesting picnic...

People people, you gotta help me. I have to come back to my hometown on August 24th for a wedding but I don't wanna go. Pleeease tell me that there's some kind of mandatory AFI meeting or something going on. Or give me a good excuse to skip out on it.

Why so averse? Who's getting married? You?

We're getting drunk on the 24th.

They'll understand.


Or... just tell them the school "highly recommends" getting a head start on boot camp activities before school actually starts. Make sure to use the quotation marks too.

I am "averse" mainly because I just don't feel like going. Hell naw, it isn't my wedding...then I'd REALLY be adverse haha. Yeah, Bradford, I like the way you think. I think I'll use that line - quotes and all.

Brian, I also have to go to a wedding that weekend.

Hey everyone! I'm new to the forum (and will post a pic soon) but I'm a producing fellow. Yo, LATexan, I was at the John Williams concert on friday.... it was amazing... Star Wars fans and all. So... what's this about poolside drinks?
