Rating: Summary: Freeway Madness! Review: Not only did Bonnie's sensibly written book delve into details for the new actor arriving in LA - it also gave a comprehensive guide to the crazy freeway system! Her advice saved me a total of 50 minutes in only the first week! Seriously, I learned so much and took her advice to heart and set up a buddy system for auditions and drop-offs. She is so right about show business being a 'business' and I really appreciate the help with my management skills. Thanks Bonnie... I hope one day I'll get to hear a seminar or meet you in person.
