I watched the documentary "American Bellydancer" last weekend.  It wasn't very interesting from a dance perspective, but it was very educational about marketing, music industry jerks, and the difficulty of simultaneously gaining public notice for and maintaining the previous meaning of one's dance form.  I suppose that applies to any art form, really.  It's worth a watch if your exposure to middle eastern dance is limited to "I Dream of Jeannie" and the Bellydance Superstars.  If you're interested  more about the place of dance in middle eastern culture, watch the Tunisian film "Satin Rouge" instead.  Enough film recommendations.  Back to the story.

New voting button and incentive picture with TopWebComics community- thanks everyone, for the rapid rise!  This week's photo was taken during the 3 day weekend.  Thank you for help in promoting GB Comics by voting up to once a day- it's a quick, easy way to thank the artist for hours of work (Monday's comic alone took 2 hours to assemble).  -CF
