I am currently working towards moving to Cali by december. I want to pursue singing and maybe some acting. I am currently working on a demo tape to hand out to people. What are some ways I can know about casting & where to look & where to go about pursuing music. Any suggestions would be awesome as this is a recent choice of mine. (link)

You should find a reputable agent through SAG's list of them before going out there. They deal with casting directors and you don't. The same with music they can get you the gigs and put demos in the hands of the right people.
That's what you need professional representation. That and a backup plan as California is full of talented young people in music, dance, acting like you are and all gunning for the same dream. Have your education, funds, and a plan B too for common sense.
I don't know how coffee houses and bars work as each are different but I know that's the only type of gig where you don't need an agent but could sure use one to work out all the business. Also agents and yourself for that matter check the trade magazines for auditions too.
If you are a singer, dancer or actor try to get as much training as you can be it in improv, sketch or whatever else with people who are well known in your city in those areas especially in voice.
