I had a couple bellydancer friends who went to Japan (one actually specialized in some sort of Japanese "ugly dance", which was creepy and awesome) and mitigated the costs by performing, backpacking, and blogging. I think that brought the costs down to near-nothing. I don't know how well your belly-wiggling moves are... ^^
you should have a party to raise the funds. Offer a dinner and people (friends) pay a certain amount for the party/donate. Also, sell some things you can let go of at said party. Have lots of booze (cheap like sangria and beer). I think that should do it.
Congratulations! I've always been a big fan of poems-for-hire, and while I've no idea if you write poetry, I've often thought while reading your prose that I'd like to see some, so heck yes I'd pay for one. ;)
I've been looking for an excuse to drive down to Champaign and bum around. A dinner party at which I would meet and give you money sounds like a pretty good one.
