annalisa derr is leaving for india this saturday. i had the privilege of visiting with her a few weeks ago. she's fearless, and she's following her heart impulse. i admire her, i want to be her!
"impulse...i think the word impulse is how i'm going to move forward and start living my life; from impulse, like heart-soul impulse. yeah."

"i don't need to call myself an actor because i just am. down to my core being."
then true to form, in the course of our conversation, she just *is.* a knock comes on the door, and annalisa performs. how? how did her core being jump out of her bone marrow and manifest itself, right before my eyes?
and if you're one for salacious details, listen for the *one thing* that got magical experience (the artist fka Yanusz Gilewicz) both
a) out of his at-the-time-occupied homeland
AND
b) a girlfriend beyond compare.

did you know that annalisa -- to fund living her dream on stage in nyc -- sold her car, a beloved treasure? if you can tell me the make and model AND color of the car before you listen to this thing i will award you a special prize. which may be coffee with hippie lou. which may not be so special. :)
