Lauren McKay and I went to two seperate Original Chop Shops, then decided it would be easier to record at the same one. We ordered some fancy juice, my computer screwed up again, and then we finally got around to discussing her journey as an actress. We go over what it's like to pursue a career in the place you grew up, expanding your horizons, and making a joke about your student Capstones until it becomes reality.

Lauren is designing sound for The Source Project, part of the PLANeT Celebration, which happens Saturday, April 15 at the Desert Botanical Gardens. More details at dbg.org/events/planet-celebration.

You can also see Lauren performing in Wonderland: Alice's Rock n' Roll Adventure at Childsplay, which runs April 23-May 21. Ticket info at childsplayaz.org/wonderland
