I would at least try approaching Hugh or Gary about being references for you. You don't have to ask them to find you a place or even write a rec. Just ask if they would be willing to take a call from a studio and talk about working with you on your project. If they're comfortable with it, they'll almost certainly say yes, it's not a big time-waster for them. Put them in your resume, and more importantly, in your cover letter and/or phone pitch and mention that they're your references. That's a hell of a lot more impressive than being one more talentless drone whose desparate parents are paying for recording school because junior refused to go to trade school to be a plumber or electrician.
They could say no, but what the heck. Like everything worth having in life, you never know until you ask.
