At least I think that's her gist. YMMV.

Exactly. You are a nobody in LA, sorry. And the sad thing is that probably is something that is very important to you. I gather this from your oft referencing of Variety and name dropping here. At least here, you can seem like you are in the business bc most of the folks here are even further away from it than you.
See you in turnaround.
