Putting the fun in fundraiser.

Tonight I went to a fundraiser put on by my bellydance teacher. It was to raise funds to help the family of a friend of hers. Her friend was badly injured in a motorcycle accident in India and the medical bills related to transporting her back to the US were astronomical. Thus far, there have been a number of fundraisers throughout the United States and now in Canada. Many of the performers and audience members there tonight did not know the girl but were there to show their support anyways. It was a very good show with a variety of different types of performance, many of them bellydance related. Those not related to bellydance included live musicians, a DJ, a VJ, a "visual artist", a burlesque performance, hula hoopers (that was pretty awesome), a Bollywood dance, and some sort of jester dude (that was just odd). It was a pretty great evening and I thought all of the support for someone who was a complete stranger was phenomenal.
