About Double Fine (excerpt):
Double Fine Productions is an award-winning, independent game development studio founded in 2000 by games industry veteran Tim Schafer. Located in San Francisco’s South of Market district, Double Fine is committed to making high-quality games with an emphasis on originality, story, characters, and fun. ... [1]
I've been interested in working there since before they became famous with Brütal Legend.
The atmosphere seems very laidback and creative, as can be witnessed throughout their webpage. As for getting a job as an animator over there, they don't have any job listings at the moment, but there is hope:
Even if we don't have any current openings that are right for you right now, if you are interested in working at Double Fine, send in your stuff anyway! We are always interested in making contact with talented and experienced programmers, artists, animators, designers, and production people. Even if you're not looking for work right now, it's good to stay in touch because YOU NEVER KNOW. [2]
So, as soon as I'm getting more confident with my animated work, I will send the my showreel and CV.
As for living expenses in San Francisco, it seems a bit expensive living in the city, with the lowest prices ranging from 1000 to 2000 dollars[3]

I'll have to research the costs of living in California later when I look at more companies in the area
