Am I Cool Enough?

Thank you for that informative expose on how to get into L.A.’s most discerning clubs (“Wearing Their Welcome,” by Louise Roug, June 27). Now I have the tools so that maybe, finally, one of those minimum-wage thugs who probably can’t spell his own name will pick me--ME!--to go inside. At last I’ll be among the shallowest Los Angeles has to offer. Oh, how I’ve prayed for some kind of validation from--well, I don’t know who they are, but I’m sure they’re all cooler than me. They must be. They guard the door.
