I wish everyday was fourth of July weekend

Hi Friends,

Man, what a weekend. Some friends and I went camping in Wisconsin. They're friends now, but before the trip, my friend Heather was the only link between the 6 of us. We joked that the weekend was our very own "Real World". You know, "A tale of 6 strangers, picked to live in a tent..". Our neighboring campers completed the cast of crazy characters. If you ever have the opportunity to camp with strangers, I highly recommend it. There's no better way to get to know someone than sitting around a campfire.

I should mention, this was my very first time sleeping in a tent. I loved it! You should also know that I kept it girly with my hand sanitizer and face cleansing wipes. I was happy to find a neat-freak companion in my fellow camper, Chris. He brought along Wet Ones, and was the only person to not make fun of my travel size Fabreeze. (Hey, tents can be stinky too.)

This trip will be the catalyst for many more camping trips in my future. Next time, I hope to really rough it like a big girl camper. Somewhere in the mountains. I'll be sure to report my progress from city slicker to mountain woman. Heather will be proud.

I hope you all had a safe, lovely holiday, filled with watermelon and pride. God Bless the US!

Cheers,
Lauren

Songwriting & Sunburn

Hi Everybody,

Just thought I'd drop a little note, and say hello. Hello!
Ahh, summertime has finally arrived. I've been savoring the days. Taking advantage of iced lattes, outdoor festivals, bbqs, bike rides, and that genius air conditioning. I look like a lobster, and it's great.

The show in Madison was a lot of fun. It was lovely seeing the Andy Frasco band, or as we've taken to calling them, "The Frascos". The Frascos crashed in Chicago for a few days, and reunion was sweet. I'll miss those guys. I got so used to having them around, that it felt strange coming home and not seeing a couch full of boys immersed in Mario Kart. Alas, the road called. Be sure to check out Andy's website. No doubt he will be coming through your town soon.

Speaking of tours, there are some dates in the works for me. Whispers of east and west coast. Keep checking back, as I will update the website as the shows come in.

As you may already know, my dear songwriting partner Matt Scutt and his family have moved down to Austin, TX. A visit is in order. I miss them, and their little Cooper. Matt and I also have some more songs up our sleeves. So, Ashton Likes and I will be heading down within the next few months to finish up his album and record new Lauren/Matt adventures. I've got all these ideas swirling around in my head, and I'm excited to get them down on paper and track. In Texas, no less. Yay!

Oh yes, I'll be sharing new photos and other goodies online soon. The website is getting a lil face lift. Don't be scared, change is good.

Hope you all are enjoying your summer! (I've been listening to a lot of country music lately. What are your favorite summer tunes?)

Cheers,
Lauren

Even Stevens Reunion

Last weekend, I had the absolute pleasure of reuniting with the "Even Stevens" family. Notice the use of 'family', because that's what we were, and still are. I overheard so many people say how cool it was that all these years later, we all came together. Not just the actors, but crew members, writers, execs, creators. In this crazy Hollywoodland, that's rare. I'm very proud to have been a part of the series, and lucky to have stayed in touch with so many of the ES 'family'.

Enough with the sentiments, on to the pictures!





Making a "Ruby" sandwich. The woman to the far left is the real Ruby and inspiration for my character.






Makeup artist extraordinaire, Petrice Bankhead. She taught me how to look like a girl.


Some of the cast with producer Sean McNamara




Principal Wexler!! AKA the fabulous George Anthony Bell




He got taller, I didn't.

Big thanks to Nick and Christy for throwing such a great party. It was everything I hoped my high school reunion would be.

Finally, I hope to see you at Pig' N Whistle in Hollywood tomorrow night!

Cheers,
Lauren
