Messenger in LA

Hey, I know this thread always pops up but I'm wondering if anybody has some more specific info for LA bike messenger jobs. I live downtown and I am really fast and know my way around. Beyond that, how do I go about getting into the courier service?

No ones hiring. Everythings gone E-mail.
They don't hire hipsters. Or, no one cares how "fast" you are, they care if you know how to get to around.
You have to be a meth/crack addict, a gay hustler, or a Ghetto Homie to be a DTLA Messenger.

From what I gathered, quick delivery is expected in messengers. So how fast one can ride is completely relevant. Also, I did in fact say that I know my way around. So with that, please calm down.
