| the worst case of cleavage I've ever seen! Ladies and Gentlman, serial slanderer and sadsack comedy groupie, Jazz Ponce. |
The now dead, Harris Wittels. In the course of telling my story, chronologically, I had to look for the Thomas Sharpe article and how he was never Tig Notaro's roommate. In that same file, I had copied all the incredibly nauseating defamation of Scott Boxenbaum, Jazz Ponce, and Harris Wittels(rot in hell - RIT) Back then I didn't know why these people were going so out of their way to destroy my comedy career. I mean they were posting my picture and telling anyone that if they saw me, they should "shun and ban" me. They told thousands of people, on that board, that I was a pathetic stalker who stalks tons of comics. This is so far from any truth and they didn't to curry favor with nick kroll. That there is plain evil.

This is the kind of talentless buffoon Nick Kroll send around to tell everyone possilbe that I am the "town weirdo" and to "shun and ban me" on sight. repost.Thursday, April 4, 2013
Scott Boxenbaum and other stupid wastes of time and space- not stage funny or off stage funny. The only funny thing about Scott Boxenbaum might be his smell, but luckily I never was that close
Again, I am alert that I am wasting time on vicious scum like Scott Boxenbaum. Alas, I think and type quickly so sometimes it takes me less than a minute. This can be evidenced in the terrible typos I then see months later. It just feels semi essential to discuss the pus that is Scott Boxenbaum, at this moment.
This freak went on the special Thing Message boards to incite strangers to shun and ban me from any comedy venue by telling them vile character asassinating lies. This POS told anyone and everyone that I am the "town weirdo." Considering the truth, that is obscene. He did so only because he is a desperate and dishonest sack of crap that hoped to gain some advantage off his better's misfortune.
Now, Scott Boxenbaum, has admitted that he's a no talent doofus, who based his whole non-career on one false compliment. It would be merely pathetic if this waste of space wasn't able to cause such misery as he sought to ruin the lives and careers of the truly talented.
He was a stranger to me, and he was forty five years old at that time. Way past high school. His father is a multi millionaire and so he doesn't have an impoverished childhood as a mitigating factor. No excuse could be sufficient to explain his vicious and psychopathic choices. He is a dark and evil POS, that is for sure.

(Update- Nick Kroll had to have told him to do this. And,desperate Scott saw opportunity in my case)
Before he did what he would do to me, I had seen him bomb a few times, on stage, and I had felt pity for him since he seemed antisocial and stupid. But, otherwise, he was an abject stranger. Funnily, I had felt compassion for both him and Jackie Kashian, as I watched audiences express disdain for them. I didn't make my pity known to them so it's not as if they had any reason to then lie and slander me. What a waste of compassion that was.

I’m finishing out my 6th year in stand-up comedy, enough time for me to stop and take a self-assessment break. This is important, as what we do is often fueled by equal parts creativity, ego, and self-delusion. Now, these things aren’t actually bad in reasonable amounts, especially when it comes to giving yourself the balls to tackle as difficult an art form as stand-up. But at some point, any comic with an iota of self-awareness should perhaps take stock of where he or she is.
For me, 2012 has been a rude awakening, both emotionally and artistically speaking. To preface, I started stand-up for possibly the worst of reasons: I was on an internet date with a woman in the business who told me that I was funny, and that I should do stand-up (rule #1: never listen to anyone who blows smoke up your ass, simply because they want to have sex with you). And yes, this is a true story. Strangely, I came to love this odd thing we do. Though I sometimes think my raison d’etre for being a stand-up is actually funnier than my act.
For the last six years or so, I’ve labored away quietly at open mics and booked shows, performing in every room you can imagine (I actually once did stand-up in a closet). And after some self-assessment, I’ve come to these conclusions: I’m an extremely hard worker. I’m a decent writer. And…
I’M NOT AS FUNNY AS I THINK I AM.
Earth-shattering? Not particularly. Remember the word “delusional”? Exactly. I’m pretty sure many people don’t think I’m as funny as I think I am. Talk to my colleagues, who awkwardly mouth “good set” when I eat it at an open mic (sometimes, I hate L.A. comics- just give it to me straight, dickhead). Talk to the bookers who write back “yeah, you’re on the list” when I send them a polite booking request. Talk to the Montreal showcase people. Actually, don’t talk to the Montreal showcase people. The funny part is, I don’t blame any of them. No one HAS TO book me. No one HAS TO laugh at my jokes. Nobody has an obligation to anyone in this business.
This year was both tough and inspiring for me. I watched a lot of my peers pass me by, both artistically and career-wise. Some of these people are wonderful, and deserve whatever good fortune comes to them. Others, you watch and just say to yourself “really? Why you?”. And while it’s painful to see the latter succeed, while I stay where I am, it’s also freeing to let go of my silly, petty jealousy. Hey, good for them. Besides, I’m sure people have felt and said the same things about me. This business is random, weird, and unfair. If I don’t like it, I can leave. Also, there’s probably a good reason why I’m not moving forward…
I’M NOT AS FUNNY AS I THINK I AM.
Okay, but enough about you… as a comedian, I’ve improved a lot this year- mainly by being more accepting of my own failure (failure is your friend, right?), improved writing, and better stage presence. But I’m not 1/20th of where I want to be. Some of this comes down to experience, learning, and gradual improvement. But a lot of it comes down to my chronic performance/social anxiety (I’ve combined these two, for the sake of convenience). For years, I’ve tried to mask it, push it away, re-frame it, meditate it away, and be in denial of it. But denying something doesn’t nullify its existence.
For me, anxiety is a comedy killer. It makes me deliver material like a phumphering robot. Jokes that should hit fizzle, or get much less of a laugh. And I sometimes am so detached on stage that the audience never gets a chance to like or care about me. Off-stage, my social anxiety often limits my social exchanges with other comedians to questions: “Hey, how are you?”. “Hey, how is your day?”. ”Pretty long wait at the open mic, ha?”. Terrific. So basically, I’m HAL 9000 with a dick. Asking a bunch of questions isn’t conversation, it’s polite interrogation. Many of my peers probably don’t know that I’m socially anxious. They just see me as kind of nice, a little boring, and hard to get to know. Anxiety pervades even my stand-up writing. Out of fear, I censor myself and freeze up when I try to write punchlines. Open mics become terrifying auditions. Also…
I’M NOT AS FUNNY AS I THINK I AM.
As of late, I’ve pondered other, less encouraging notions: Perhaps I’m not built for this. Maybe I’m just not “stage funny”, and I’m forcing myself to do something I wasn’t meant to do. In the next few months, I’m going to see where all this pondering and navel-gazing takes me. Perhaps I’ll overcome my own personal obstacles. Or, maybe I won’t, and move on to other things. Believe me, there’s no shame in doing something else. Someone once told me, “go where the green lights take you”. Right now, as a stand-up, I’m sitting in traffic, waiting for the light to change.
And yes, I sound like a bit of a sad sack. But life is too short and precious to be dishonest to one’s self. Unfortunately, you get to read my hand-wringing. Hey, if you don’t like it, feel free to scroll down to the Gif of Clint Eastwood with the Photoshopped orangoutang just below this blog. It’s pretty cool, actually

Did
Alisa Spitzberg really ever harass, stalk or even bother Notaro? Did
Lauren ever harass Notaro?
Is
Notaro a liar who has lied under oath and under penalty of perjury?
Notaro’s
statement to LAPD- as to the August 29, 2007 “incident.
In
September 2007 - Spitzberg arrived at the coffee shop and
confronted Willen and Notaro. Willen ignored Spitzberg and walked
out of the shop with Notaro. Spitzberg stepped in front of Willen
and said, “You trying to avoid me.” Willen ignored Spitzberg
who then pushed Notaro.
Notaro
and Willen left without reporting the incident.
Notaro
statement to Spector –investigator for Public Defender
While
sitting together and waiting at tsunamis café late one night for
this deaf landlord to show up Notaro said that Alisa all of a sudden
and surprisingly walked in. Notaro stated that Alisa immediately
walked up to their table and “accused” them meaning herself and
Willen of being together. Notaro stated Alisa then began yelling and
cussing at the two of them. Notaro said is was very much a verbal
tirade against the two of them. While Alisa continued yelling at
both of them Notaro said a mini bottle of vodka fell out of one. of
Spitzberg’s jacket pockets. At one point while all of this was
going on Notaro said she then stood up and she was now standing
right next to Alisa.
After
standing up, Notaro stated that Alisa then Shoved her with both her
hands, as well as she next said, “ are you Steph’s keeper.”
After
that had occurred Notaro advised that both she and Willen then left
this coffee shop, due to the fact they didn’t want any more
violence to occur on Alisa’s part. As they quickly walked out of
this coffee shop, Notaro said that Alisa continued to follow them
out of this location on foot.

Notaro’s
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.

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

and Seccia will eventually show that not only is Notaro lying but
they are too.

.
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
Notaro
said a few nights later, Alisa once again showed up at Largo. This
time she brought her sister along with her. When Alisa first showed
up on this second night Notaro stated that she had been outside and
talking with its owner Mark Flanagan Notaro said that Flanagan told
her to immediately get inside the club and he would take care of
Alisa and her sister. Notaro also advised that the police also
showed up that evening at Largo but she believed that Alisa and her
Sister had already left Largo. Prior to the police arriving there.
She said that she carried on with her performance that evening but
she advised that she was in a “paranoid state” throughout the
evening..
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.
4. Did
this really happen? It didn’t and Julius’s affidavit will
confirm what really went on upfront and the profoundly conflicting
statements of Notaro, Griffee and Seccia will show that it was a lie
and that as Griffee said to the investigator: They just came to talk
to management to find out why Notaro was kicking them out. Seccia
says the incident took several minutes. Notaro states to this court
that under penalty of perjury that this lasted an hour and a half.
5. So,
this is the second incident? What about August and is this what
happened. According to statements now in possession made my Notaro,
Whitaker, Rita and that further discovery should show that Notaro
has made this all up and has had others lie for her.

The
rest becomes moot and the order is void.

On
April 8th
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
you.
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
your
audience? I never deserved or anticipated that you'd make up
some lie and then have me thrown
out.
What
a hateful thing to do to someone who just pays
you
a compliment
and who has nothing to do with you except for some bad fling ,over a
year ago, with your then ex girlfriend. I'll do everything in
my(substantial) power to get even.
Affidavit
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.

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

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-
singeld out Kelly, made scene, mentioned mother couldn’t sleep,
made scene of note
Jeff
Singer or Klinger- anxious to discuss the disturbing scene- another
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
by emails and other evidence. Show e-mails. Send relevant e-mails
file.
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)
Tom sharpe
doesn’t live with her
Neither does
Chris Fairbanks.
Garage comedy-
Targeted Kelly
according to Notaro. Show evidence of going there to avoid any chance
of seeing notaro etc. Lack of logic to any of it and depose Kelly or
get written statement.
What was really

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.”

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.

blogs etc.- admissions of false allegations, memory problems,
morality problems ect.
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
.kyle
was telling me last night that they are as lucky to have me as i am
to have them. he's a

Prone
exaggeration and no regard for truth
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
