And, at the bottom, I'll post other statements made by those who got jobs and favors from Notaro and Kroll for their false testimony.
Stef Willen,,in particular, was rewarded with a whole impressive resume for starting this and then keeping it going. Meeting her was the worst thing to happen to me, but she made sure it was the best thing to happen to her.
Soon after agreeing to lie about Tsunami (where no verbal or physical altercation of any kind took place) she began getting jobs and trips from Notaro. Then, Nick Kroll set her up with a spot on This American Life(Kroll funding of NPR and Ira Glass), A video on Funny or Die(also featuring Notaro and Kroll. Funny or Die also received huge checks from Nick Kroll throughout the years) a McSweeney's column(Nick Kroll is friends with John Hodgeman and others at Mcsweeneys' and he also has "donated" a lot of money to them through the years.) Willen got other jobs, and more free rent arrangements, and trips to Aspen also.
Then that rigged "Mcsweeney's Column Contest" win and more Nick Kroll string pulling was parlayed into a book deal for Willen, with Simon and Schuster no less. I am not sure if he paid for the printing and press associated or if the agent and the publisher were just conned into thinking that Willen was some literary contender due to a Mcweeney's win and an appearance on This American Life.
Read that "winning column," for all the evidence you need to see that she would not have won had she not made a deal with the devil- in this case- Nick Kroll, Lavely and Singer, and Tig Notaro.
Also, note that absent one unseen acting role in an indie film, Stef Willen, did not have one credit to her name- before agreeing or encouraging or instigating this malicious prosecution.
It's isn't clear how eager she was to participate, or how much she egged on Notaro and Kroll, but it is very clear that she lied about the events of August 29th 2007. And, then she would lie about many other things over the coming years, and each time she lied she lied more maliciously, and she appears to have been given bigger gigs as reward and incentive.
She would allege that she changed her phone due to me calling her. The truth is I never called her ONCE. Not one single time. Of course, not one piece of paper or any other evidence was produced to substantiate her contributions to the false narrative but in this case- allegations were always enough because Nick Kroll was working behind the scenes.
Then when the malicious prosecution progressed, she would tell prosecutors I called her employers "looking for her". I never did this ONCE. My sister did call her employer on one occasion- an Amy Alkon- because my sister thought it only fair that if Willen was ruining our names and careers with lies Willen's vicious statements about Amy Alkon should be known to Alkon. I told her not to but she did it anyway, and I think she had all the right to do it and more.
Willen would tell prosecutors,Martin Boags and Then Katie Ford, in January of 2010, that I cyber stalked her, but of course not one piece of evidence was produced to substantiate that because it never happened. No detail even was provided other than she saw nasty messages about her on message boards. But again, not one page of paper to show what she was even referring to.
Whatever the lies and the ensuing lack of any evidence- the narrative survived due to the unholy alliance between first Notaro and Nick Kroll and then Notaro and Marty and Singer and then Notaro(and the rest) with certain complicity officers within the LAPD's Threat Management Unit and then the lies were perpetuated by Rocky Dellgadillo sand then Carmen Trutanich's hench people in the City attorney office( Ed Gaultier, Bernie Brown, Jennifer Waxler, Felise Cohen Kalpakian, and Katie Ford) and not the truth of the matter.
The truth is that Stef Willen has to be a psychopath. Non psychopaths are not capable of using someone to get ahead -in such a way, even if the lyiong would lead to total loss of name, money, and then worse and worse circumstances to the falsely accused -ncluding jailing and destroying the lives of those who trusted her and let her into their homes.
Truth is that nothing happened that night and I never "confronted" or assaulted anyone at any time. Notaro and Willen made it all up and then in order to get favors and gigs from Jules Krolls son and the also connected Notaro- many would lie in this case.
But that's he she she said or she said she said. Despite my urging no one would get me video or phone logs in this case. I do not have the resources or know how how to do it. So, i was left with building a more circumstantial case of my innocence- mostly their complete absence of any evidence or credible witnesses, and then the fact that if I were guilty- why were so many lies being told, and why were they pulling dirty trick after dirty trick?

On the evening of April 7, 2,008. I performed at Largo in Hollywood, CA.. After I got off stage alisa approached me to ask if I remembered her. I said plainly, “Yes, I do.” And then continued a conversation I was having with my agent. Alisa interrupted saying “no you don’t remember me. I said, Yes the night we met you were being aggressive and you pushed me. I remember you and I don’t want to talk to you at all. Leave me alone. Alisa became quickly enraged and insisted repeatedly that I was lying. Because I was afraid it would escalate, I had Michael Griffee, the doorman at largo, escort her out of the building.

Notaro said the next occasion, in which she had any type of contact with Alisa had occurred on 4/7/08. On that particular evening Notaro said she was performing at a club called Largo, and her show that night was called “Tig and friends.”
Sometimes during that evening Notaro said she had seen Alisa sitting inside of this club and near the bar area. Notaro advised that her brand new agent Heidi was also in attendance to see her perform her comedy show. After her show was over Notaro said she was in the audience and she was speaking to her agent.
All of a sudden, Notaro stated that Alisa then walked up to the two of them and said, “ Do you know who I am?” Do you remember me? Notaro replied back to her and said, “I know who you are . You shoved me.” After this brief encounter, Notaro said she walked to an employee who works at Largo, named Micheal, and he had asked Alisa to leave the location at her request.

Griffee to prosecutor Martin Boags-
Griffee to Neil Spector -
Mark Flanagan is mentioned by John Gregozek, Mathilde Notaro and now Grifee as making that call to the police and being really invovled in this attack on his club where there is a 3-4 hour "lockdown"
What does the own Mark Flanagan have to say about all that
I can't seem to unblur that but it says that Mark Flanagan refuses to talk to Neil Spector
Nearly a year later, Martin Boags wanted to add four more criminal charges to induce a plea bargain.
Hmmmm....
The witness(Mark Flanagan) was only told about what happened? Did not witness anything? Or did he call the police after being told what happened.
We have to assume the police came whatever the case of that witness's statemement.
Police report-
Affidavit -
In the affidavit Notaro says Mark Flanagan mad that call. Grifee told Boags and Spector that Mark Flanagan made that call.
What if you knew no police were called or came that night despite Gregozek(and grifee and Notaro and Seccia) all claiming this occurred? Gregozek asserted it as fact in police reports, in search warants (and incredibly-it once again was asserted as fact in a trial brief drafted by prosecutor Katie Ford on March 4th 2010) SEVEN months after these discoveries by Martin Boags in Septemember of 2009
For whatever mysterious reason Gregozek did not give Martin Boag's the heads up before he ordered up some documents a year after the criminal charge was brought-
incident number.
We have to assume he wondered why Gregozek hasn't provided him such a number. But Gregozek does provide one incident number that he claims the unnamed Officers have supplied.
Request for arrest report and any reports associated with April 29th 2008 -
three days later he orders all the documents that must exist for April 12th 2008 and April 29th 2008.
Request for the 911
call that Notaor and Griffee woudl lie to under oath AND the REASON a Judge Elizabeth Grimes would cite as the reason she would grant Allison Sievers her Anti Slapp motion(we'll get to that)
What does Boags see when his request is fulfilled?
witness Julius Quinn Roberts(who stood right there or 16 feet away) from all these allegations....

Spitzberg pounded on the doors and yelled, “where gonna get that fucking dyke!” Security kept the doors closed for over an hour.
The police were called but Spitzberg had left before they arrived.
. April 12 Incident
The next night I performed at Largo was April 12th , 2008., I was standing outside the club with the owner Mark Flanagan. I noticed Alisa and her sister, Lauren Spitzberg, about fifteen feet away from my right. They ran towards me and lunged at me, and I ran inside before they could make physical contact. They were not allowed entrance into the club, and Mark Flanagan called the police.
Alisa and Lauren went around to the back door, and for an hour and a half proceeded to verbally abuse Mark Flanagan and Michael Griffee, scream at the top of their lungs, and bang on the door.
They ran back and forth from the front to back entrance yelling, “were going to get that dyke.” They left close to 11 p.m before the police could come.

Notaro statement to Neil Spector- April 15, 2008
Notaro said a few nights later, Alisa once again showed up at Largo. This time she brought her sister along with her.

Julius Quinn Robert’s statement affidavit (doorman at the dime bar very closeby and witnessed any activity at front door)
I am the door guy at the dime which is no more than 16 feet away from where largo once was. I remember the day in question and remember nothing happen(ing) I even
talked to the ladies for a minute or two and invited them inside the dime for a drink. These ladies are good people to be around and everything that this woman said is a lie.

To Neil Spector PD
Seccia says he only knows Alisa from their one chance encounter on this occasion, and he further stated that he can’t even rememeber when this encounter had occurred, other than that it took place sometime last year. While located outside and to the rear or Largo, and in between performances, Seccia stated he had been smoking a cigarette when two female subjects approached him on foot.
Seccia said an employee of Largo , by the name of Micheal had actually been the person who was working at the rear of this club at the night in question. Seccia said he just happened to be smoking a cigarette outside and talking with Griffee when these two female subjects walked up to the two of them.
Seccia advised he later found out that these two female subjects had been Alisa and her sister(Lauren)Seccia did say that prior to this encounter with Alisa he had been informed about her another comedian friend of his by the name of “Tig”
Said he works with Notaro on occasion at clubs, be can’t remember whether she had been working with him at this location on this night in question.
When asked why Notaro had informed him and other possible employees at Largo of Alisa Seccia believed that she, meaning, Notaro, had been telling friends of hers, at the various clubs where she performed at , about Alisa and the fact that she, meaning Alisa, had supposedly been making some type of “threatening” remarks against her. Due to this, Notaro said he believed that Notaro was concerned for her safety, and she had wanted to make people aware of Alisa. Other that that information Seccia advised that he had never even heard of Alisa prior to this incident in question.

statement in Affidavit- April 7, 2008
On
the evening of April 7, 2,008. I performed at Largo in Hollywood,
CA.. After I got off stage
alisa approached me to ask if I remembered her.
I said plainly, “Yes, I do.” And then continued a conversation I
was having with my agent. Alisa interrupted saying “no you don’t
remember me. I said, Yes the night we met you were being aggressive
and you pushed me. I remember you and I don’t want to talk to you
at all. Leave me alone. Alisa became quickly enraged and insisted
repeatedly that I was lying.
Because I was afraid it would escalate, I had Michael Griffee, the
doorman at largo, escort her
out of
the building.

Seccia
says he only knows Alisa from their one chance encounter on this
occasion, and he further stated that he can’t even rememeber when
this encounter had occurred, other than that it took place sometime
last year. While located outside and to the rear or Largo, and in
between performances, Seccia stated he had been smoking a cigarette
when two female subjects approached him on foot.
Seccia
said an employee of Largo , by the name of Micheal had actually been
the person who was working at the rear of this club at the night in
question. Seccia said he just happened to be smoking a cigarette
outside and talking with Griffee when these two female subjects
walked up to the two of them.
Seccia
advised he later found out that these two female subjects had been
Alisa and her sister(Lauren)Seccia did say that prior to this
encounter with Alisa he had been informed about her another comedian
friend of his by the name of “Tig”
Said
he works with Notaro on occasion at clubs, be can’t remember
whether she had been working with him at this location on this night
in question.
When
asked why Notaro had informed him and other possible employees at
Largo of Alisa Seccia believed that she, meaning, Notaro, had been
telling friends of hers, at the various clubs where she performed at
, about Alisa and the fact that she, meaning Alisa, had supposedly
been making some type of “threatening” remarks against her. Due
to this, Notaro said he believed that Notaro was concerned for her
safety, and she had wanted to make people aware of Alisa. Other that
that information Seccia advised that he had never even heard of
Alisa prior to this incident in question.
From
Notaro’s police Statement.
On

R received an e-mail from Spitzberg who expressed anger over being
kicked out of the club and vowed revenge.

I
had absolutely no beef with

I just
didn't.
Why would I? But, for you to make up a false
accusation
of me
pushing
you
and have me kicked out when i asked you if I'd heard right
about that is incomprehensible. Me and my sister were told to check
out the walsh brothers and she didn't want to go so I decided to see
what turned out to be your show. You
were excellent, and the show was
great
and that's that. Why would you want to lie about and hurt someone in

of Notaro
for
the duration of this time period, after every incident in which
Alisa attempted to contact me in person( I thought I was there to
contact Stephanie?) she harassed Stephanie Willen with repeated
phone calls and e-mails.
NOTE
from Spitzberg: Show one call. I never called Willen ONCE. E-mails
were meant to get some understanding of Notaro’s behavior. When
did Willen change her number? If so, why? Have them show calls or
e-mails etc.
In
police report Notaro or Willen says I called Willen and tried to
contact her employers. Bring these “employers,” To court. Have
willen testify or anyone she knows and was around her during that
period.
Police
report – April 29th
2008- statement by notaro
On
April 28th
2008, Notaro performed at the Improv. A friend had contacted her
prior to the arrival at the club and told her that Spitzberg had
been removed by security.
At
2130 hours Notaro finished her act and was leaving the club.
Notaro was outside with a friend when she saw Lauren spitzberg
walking towards her. Notaro went back inside the club and watched
from a window.
Spitzberg, her sister, and mother were all outside the club yelling
about Spitzberg being removed from the club. Spitzberg stated that R
better watch her back and that she knew where she lived what car
she drove. Patrol officers were called and arrived at the scene.
Affidavit
of Notaro- April 29th
2008
On
the night of Tuesday 29th
2008 I performed at the Improv in Hollywood.CA. As I was driving to
the club, Lesley Wolff, the promoter for the show called me to
inform me that Alisa had been inside the club and had been removed.
As I pulled up at
8.PM, I saw Alisa Outside talking to People. I noticed a sherriff
the street, unrelated to the situation, and asked him to see what
was going on., to distract alisa, so I could go through the side
door.
Brian,
the door security informed me that Alisa had announced to him my
license plate number and color/make of car, and warned that she knew
where I lived.
At
9:30 p.m I was informed that Alisa had left, and then I attempted to
leave the club. Just as I took a step out of the door I saw Lauren
Walking towards the venue.. Feeling unsafe I went back inside. I was
informed
that
Alisa, Lauren, and their mother were now all in the front of the
club. I was stuck inside the club for two more hours as the three of
them verbally attacked performers, patrons, and security. The
police were called and made note of the incident but because my life
had not been directly threatened they were unable to take action.
Eventually, the three women left and I was able to go home

Reeta
Piazza-
gives statement to investigator- contradicts all statements yet and
makes no sense and is only in response to fear of lawsuit. Nothing
she says is accurate and everything she says just contradicts all
testimony of notaro or Whitaker.
Reeta
Piazza statement.
On
an unknown date and sometime last year piazza said that spitzberg had
showed up at the improv on an evening in which notaro was going to be
performing there. Piazza further said tNotaro was concerned that
spitzberg may try and disrupt her show if she was allowed in this
venue on the evening of her performance.
On
this particular night in question Reeta state that one of their
comedians by the name of Brian whitaker, who was also working in the
capacity as “security” at the front door, was the one who had
initially recognized Spitzberg at the front door. Whitaker said that
Spitzberg had earlier been trying to into the show that night but
since Whitaker had recognized her from the earlier photograph, he was
not allowing her into this location.
Reeta
stated this situation was now brought to her attention that evening,
due to Spitzbergs’ supposed behavior after she was denied access
into the comedy club. Reeta was advised that spitzberg was acting in
a very aggressive manner towards her staff (who???) after she had
been denied access into the club. When asked what she meant by
“aggressive.” Reeta said that Spitzberg was being “verbally
abusive” towards her employees, especially towards Brian Whitaker.
Reeta
stated the she then went outside and briefly spoke to Spitzberg about
this situation. She said that when she talked to Spitzberg, it
appeared that Spitzberg's eyes were very “wild” and she had a
strange look about herself. She said Spitzberg also told her that
she is a lawyer and that she wasn’t going to look into taking some
legal action against her and the club for not allowing her inside the
club on that particular evening. Reeta stated after having a brief
conversation with her, who believed that Spitzberg is definitely a
“disturbed’ individual. When asked if she knew whether or not, if
Spitzberg had been alone on that night in question reeta said she
believed so, since nobody else had made contact with her, other than
spitzberg herself.
She
said she works as the Director of Special Events at the Improv Comedy
Showcase and Restaurant. She stated that she knows Notaro well, due
to the fact she performs at her club as a comedian, on a regular
basis. She said she has also met spitzberg on a couple of different
occasions due to the fact that she has shown up as a customer at this
location when Notaro has performed there. Other than those
circumstances she would have absolutely no idea who Spitzberg is.
On
a different occasion Reeta stated that Spitzberg once again showed p
to the Improv but this time she had identified herself as Spitzberg’s
sister Reeta said she was unable to remember about this incident,
whether or not the two of them had just wanted to enter the premises
in order to watch a show on that particular evening or if they had
just come together as to talk with club management in order to try
and find out why Spitzberg had been denied access to this business on
a previous night.
Reeta
said that both Spitzberg and her sister were again verbally abusing
her employees on that particular night, and once again neither of
them were let into the show on that evening. When asked if Notaro
had been performing there on that night, reeta said she wasn’t
sure. Reeta advised that the two of them had actually refused to
leave on that night, and they were about to call the police. Reeta
said both her and her sister eventually left the premises.
Sometime
in May 2008, reeta stated that Spitzberg’s mother had also showed
up to their comedy club On that particular date, reeta advised the
that her mother had some kind of transcripts in her possession, and
apparently wanted to show her what had been said about her daughter,
that being Spitzberg, at a court hearing involving Notaro obtaining a
restraining order against her daughter. R further stated that
spitzbergs mother had told her some of her employees had supposedly
lied at this restraining order hearing pertaining to issues involving
both Notaro and her daughter. R said she never looked at these
“transcripts” that spitzbergs mother had in her possession.
In
addition Reeta stated that Spitzberg once again showed up at her
club, and she was telling her, meaning relaying to r how
“Unproffessional” her staff was. R said she didn’t have to call
the police this last time when Spitzberg had showed up at this club.
Reeta
did advise on the one night that Spitzberg had had showed up to the
Improv, in which Notaro had been performing on that particular
evening, Notaro did seem very ‘frightened” as soon as she found
out that Spitzberg was in front of the club. And she was attempting
to get in so as to attend Notaro’s performance. Reeta said neither
notaro nor spitzberg had contact with one another on that night in
question.
R
also stated that Notaro had asked her to show up to court on the date
of her restraining order violation hearing but she was out of town on
that same date.
R
further advised that she doesn’t want to be involved in this matter
any longer. I then ended my conversation with r and conducted no
further investigation.
July
14, 2008
Notaro
My
friend and fellow comedian, Martha Kelly, informed me of being
singled out and harassed by Alisa Spitzberg regarding the permanent
restraining order I was awarded against Ms. Spitzberg on May 28th,
2008. Martha described being at a venue “El Cid” in Los Feliz CA
to do Stand up comedy and Ms approaching her and saying such things
as “Tell tig I said to drop the restraiing order, she’s a
pathological liar, my mother can’t sleep at night because of this,
I can’t buy a firearm now, I don’t see her as a human being and I
will never let her rest for as long as she’s alive.
Comedian
Jeff Singer also witnessed this interaction and contacted me about
the scene Ms Spitzberg was causing at the show. Mr Spitzberg’s
behavior and comments were extremely disturbing and offered to be a
witness if necessary.
Thanks
in advance for your attention to this matter,
Mathilde(Tig)
Notaro
Ms.
Martha-
no mention of mother, no mention of converstation, no mention of me
not introducing myself in any way.
Notaro-

aspiring comedian ala seccia and Whitaker who have now been shown to
be lying.
Manager
of el Cid. “No idea what spector was talking about. Would now of
any incidence of importance. Never heard or any of this.
Further evidence.
Tom sharpe doesn’t live with her and never did. Also goes to show
how widespread the slander is/will be in the future.
In response to
“Hogre” saying “great article about your roommate on citybeat
LA website. Mr. Sharpe writes flattering piece about notaro. Someone
writes “ great article about your roommate.
There is an insinuation in your comment. Allow me to clarify:
Tig and I have performed in several shows together and I consider her a friend. While we've exchanged the occasional email and phone call, I haven't seen her in person in over 10 months. We have never been roommates. There was some talk a number of months ago about a group of comics renting a house together-- I was one of those comics. While Tig and a couple of other comics did move forward with that plan, I've never even set foot in the place. Curious to know how you could possibly have heard about any of this, or where you got your erroneous information that I was currently her roommate.
Here's who I am:
I'm a standup comic who's been at it for well over a decade-- this past year and a half I've been inactive due to illness. I know and am on friendly terms with probably half of the comedians in Los Angeles. No exaggeration. Hundreds and hundreds of them. I love comics, from big shot headliners to first year open mikers. You can't do comedy in LA for as long as I have without becoming friends with your fellow comics. (Not unless you're antisocial. Which I'm not, Erin, even though I was a bedwetter and one of the best.) When the editor asked me about writing about comedy for citybeat from time to time I expressed concern. I could write about some brilliant comics, but many of them might also happen to be my friends. It was unavoidable. That's the circle that I run in. Was that a problem?
She thought I could work it out. Here's my promise: If I write about a comic, they're going to be relevant and excellent at their craft. If there's a relevant relationship, I will disclose it.

Hogre,
Your comments and my initial response may have been inadvertently removed along with some targeted comments, which were removed due to their similarity to a glut of comments left on Tig's videos and website and in emails over the past year by a stalker. This person has been court ordered to refrain from all contact with Tig. This is a painful situation and it's truly unfortunate it has to come up here-- I hope that you find it in your heart to understand the circumstances under which you now feel slighted. And I hope that you will refrain from reposting those inappropriate comments as you did above, without waiting for a response.

Again, I am not
Tig's roomate. But, I would call her a friend. I have not spoken to
her face to face in over 10 months, although we have communicated
occasionally by phone and email. As you can see in the interview, I
indicated in the question regarding the crackpot tour that I have
collaborated with Tig in the past. I was contacted by Tig a number of
months ago when she learned that I might have been looking for a
place. She and two other comics were concurrently looking for a 4th
roommate in a houseful of comedians. I did not move in with them.
As a standup comedian active in the Los Angeles scene for well over a decade, I am on friendly terms with hundreds of comedians. I hope that the concern you've voiced really does regard journalistic integrity as opposed to a personal vendetta and that this will answer your question. My relationships with comedians-- and many of the comics who are most newsworthy in Los Angeles are also my friends-- will have it's pros and cons when I write about comedy. I've learned so much about the inner workings of comedy due to my experience working alongside these comics, interacting with them professionally and socially, and I think this experience qualifies me as an expert as to who is at the top of their comedy game, advancing the craft of standup and making a difference in the Los Angeles and national scene. But I acknowledge it is possible that my friendships might color some objectivity. I keep this in mind and I look to radio for a parallel: I feel that if Steve Jones can do a consistently good radio show, maybe I can somehow pull off an occasional article about comedy. My motivation is this: introduce the Los Angeles public to some truly excellent comedy in the city, and in the process, get paid a few dollars to do it.
I hope this answers your questions

Motive
for spitzberg? As invented by Notaro or Willen or both? Spitzberg was
jealous over weekend spent with notoaro in april 07 and also upset
that Willen didn’t help Spitzberg with comedy career via Notaro.
Destroyed

Motive for
Notaro( pig poem. Val Myers “ What are you entitled?” E-mails
where willen tells Spitzberg knitting needles over tig due to her and
Willen telling Spitzberg how Spitzberg was educated, read, had a good
family, so much better than notaro- probably told this to tig to get
her jealous and this time willen’s attempt to get someone jealous
did work)

From an interview
she (notaro) just did- check to see if this really happened
My joke is- well,
then just call the doll Becky. Some people got up during the set and
walked out. I asked them, ‘Where are you headed?’ and they said
‘Maybe you’ll think twice before you make fun of people.’ One
of the woman pointed at somebody she was with and was like, ‘He
just got over cancer...’ I was so baffled, so confused. Everybody
was baffled! I don’t know where they read in that I was saying,
‘Haha you have cancer.’ Nowhere. I don’t know where it came
about. So, they left and started yelling with the owner of the bar,
it turned into a brawl and the cops came. I was still on stage this
whole time. A fist fight broke out... This is all during my set. I
had to stay focused and talk to audience while people were pinning
each other down and screaming. And one of the guys that left, the
police broke his leg while they were holding him down.”
from martha
kelly's blog
Portland
threw us a curveball which we caught and re-threw into a jewelry
store, breaking the window and setting off the alarm system. When the
cops came we pleaded not guilty by reason of Steve's beard, and as
per usual they let us walk.
I tried to
rush Tig and Steve out right after the Super 7 show. Tig's response
to being rushed goes something like "Oh, uh-uh, no. I won't be
talked to like that" and then she walks away. I got mad at her
and we had our first and so far only fight while Steve obliviously
fingered Japanese toys at the back of the store. I thought we might
not speak to each other for hours but our fight ended as abruptly as
it started when Tig sassed a panhandler outside the store. She
countered his long and winding road of a story with "Hold on a
minute sir, I've got a story for YOU." Then she told him about
her dad the security guard who lives in a basement in Baltimore. Tour
Number Two, Update Number One
Dear Crackpot
Blog,
First stop:
Ontario, CA. We left an hour late due to a combination of me being
an hour late and no one having the balls to leave without me. To
make up on time, Tig almost rear-ended a guy. I screamed, Tig
objected, Steve overruled the objection. Sidetrack: on the first
tour, people not liking other people's driving was a big issue. The
people who didn't like my driving were against hearing "whoa-oh!"
every time we took a corner over 30 mph. The people who didn't like
Tig's driving were disturbed by her combination of speeding and
saying things like "I'm not afraid of dying" and "Nothing
really matters anyway."
from some other invertiew
Tig
Well, we
almost got our asses kicked last night. We stayed at this guy’s
house who literally went crazy while we were staying there and almost
murdered us, so it’s not really as fun as it sounds.
Martha
I didn’t stay there. That’s probably why I think it’s fun.
Tig
Yeah.

False
Allegations.
in
unrelated news, my plan to start a band fell apart. turns out our
lead guitarist was on smack. i'm not even really sure what "smack"
is exactly, but i know that she was on it because people said things
like, "i
literally think she's on smack." i still hear from our night
ranger-style singer/drummer laura silverman daily accusing me of
firing her and demanding to be back in the band.
..
git!martha and i worked really hard on the crackpot tour. this means
that basically she was in a constant state of panic but signed all of
her emails to me with "can't wait. this is gonna be great."
lied
until it was true
its
just a rumor, so you best start gettin excited. a few years back, i
stopped cycling. not intentionally, it just happened. maybe you never
even knew i cycled at all. if that's the case, then boy do you have
some catching up to do. anyway, i would do local rides and long
distance rides. other countries, state to state, down to the beach
and back or just to the store to buy a new purse or a fun shade of
lipstick. i have been missing cycling so much. there is a great deal
of focus in cycling. every monday
and friday morning, before my friend stef goes to work (around the
corner from my house), we take walks around town or down by the ocean
together and discuss all things. i'd
say they are interesting conversations, but i can't help but dread
the thought of ever having to read a transcript of our talks.
was
about me going back to my hometown in mississippi after the hurricane
and living w/my family in the destruction, with
day to day old family issues causing flashbacks from my past
i'll
see what i can remember. i have a horrible memory and tend to get
easily distracted. it's not always the best thing to take walks down
memory lane w/me. it's not horrible, it's just not always great.
chances are, you don't even look remotely familiar to me and your
name does not ring any name bells. this includes immediate family
members too. here we go w/memory lane 2 or so weeks back. my friend
tommy came into town and stayed with me for several days.
Morality
problems
it's
a lovely time, really. the dvd "operation googsie" will be
for sale one day w/all money going to charity OR right up my nose. i
haven't decided yet..... in other hurricane news, a little over a
year ago, hbo had approached me to pitch/develop a show with them.
the show i worked on

to have them. he's a

kyle
and i are still writing like crazy. crazy being like 2 or 3 times a
week. it usually takes us a good 2 hours before we start actually
writing because we like to gossip about ourselves to one another and
then we usually eat a nice healthy raw meal. this makes me happy and
it makes him complain about starving and then he usually heats up a
pizza at 3am and complains about eating
a pizza at 3am and how i should have stopped him. we have about 10
sketches/shorts we are hoping to get filmed in the months to come.
"months
to come" could mean whatever you want it to. i want it to mean
"soon."
i'm leaving for new york in a couple of days. i'm really excited
about hanging out w/my nyc folk. i have very little time and it will
no doubt be spent w/kevin williams, dave hill and nick kroll. it's
hard going to different cities all the time because i know so many
people. memory lane-type stuff comes up. i'm not always good at it

well too late to call you now...its 3:30 am. went with tig to do a set
for 70 christians in orange county. very interesting. she thought
she'd bomb, but she did great. then we hit the normandie room and met
some really gross lesbian couple that told us they were lawyers
within 5 seconds of meeting us. they were disgusting, they were eating
burritos there and one of them kept belching these burrito/salsa
burps. i guess it was her contribute to cinco de mayo.

say about gross lesbians belching. you always do. i tell you about gross lesbians all the time and you comment on them. you know you have drastically curtailed your messages to me in the last couple days, and its weird that it coincides witht the time i hung out with tig for two days straight. this is very similar to when you wouldnt admit what going to the "bathroom" meant when we were at teh coach and horses, and i am sick of drawing the truth out of you because you cant be big enough to admit anything. im not hostile, im annoyed. you are almost laughable: "its not fun for me anymore, and im trying to end it nicely." whats not fun? we didnt even have a fight. i noticed you were being weird and short so i called you on it. what happened in those two days that made it so unfun for you.? if i had to guess what you are doing with that last sentence, "It is totally not fun anymore for me and I'm trying to end it nicely. " id guess you are trying to gain some kind of control so you dont feel like a complete patsy, as you say. and just so you know, i am fine with ending things, i just wish that you would own up to your shit and be honest, but then again, that would make me attracted to you, so maybe its best you keep being phony.
