Newbie/dumb question: Are studios as easy to use as they seem?

[raider13]

As someone who has never practiced the hobby... It seems tougher to be able to book time with someone since I would have no references and what not.

But the Studios seem to be more open to anyone? Just call up and book a time...

Or am I completely naive to the whole thing?

That can work but your best off throwing some money at the problem and joining P411. Most providers can access that and it will make it a whole lot easier.

Alternative is to book with a 'reference friendly' provider or two(maybe they're trying to establish some credentials themself in the way of favorable reviews) and then you will have two references to book with ladies on your 'A' list. But getting a P411 account is the cheeper way to go.
