IRIS? Bro, sure…!

So college re-opened. Boring! So as we half mull over lack of vacations and half over the lack of funds, there’s only one slogan on everyone’s lips. Or tongues. Whichever is more appeasing: ‘Allah ke naam pe dede baba’. And of course, the friendly neighbourhood bai trashed our beloved Fine Arts chart mistaking it for just some other garbage. No i’m not commenting on the quality of the poster. Really! It’s cool. You’ll see it all over the place pretty soon. But counting our blessings, we do have good news.

Firstly, we got the number of people reading this blog to, hold your breath, three! up from last week’s record of two. Wow! No i’m kidding. We had a million hits just yesterday. No i’m kidding again. Unless i’m speaking about the ‘hits’ we got from the millions of companies we called up 2 million times. No i’m kidding again. The poster on the stage is a BIG hit. Everybody’s seen it and everyone has an opinion about it. Including our beloved ex CS Colin. We went up to him for a sound byte: ‘It’s a waste. No one’s gonna see it for more than two days’. This just in: ‘Colin got inducted into the Cynic Hall of Fame’. Wow! Congratulations. Haha! In your face! Omkar ‘BG’ Parnandiwar gave us: ‘Fatte concept’. Rohan Kale gave us: ‘Achcha hai bahut. Innovative. Different from previous Iris posters.’ (Thanks Kale. Your cheque is in the mail.)

So as the world watches (or not) with, well, baited breath (note: no typo) as we prepare for world domination (at least as far as the world of college fests is concerned), we’re making ample progress, though verry stealthily to make sure it’s an ambush and we catch everyone unaware. So any coincidence to no progress is purely intentional.

There were so many people in the IRIS room yesterday, man! you had to see it, feel it, hear it, to believe it. plus we have a more effective publicity plan this time. 40 events, all finalised, posters for each ready, event head application notices, a few healthy conflicts, LOTS of interested people including FEs, why, we even had some sound guys come up to us and ask us if we wanted their help, we even had a good band ask us if they could come play at our rock show. And if that’s not progress, what is! We’re famous! Ryan’s bag got torn, put that in, he told me. The website is up. And we called up really cool bands…how cool is that?! IronMaiden is coming to Mumbai close to Iris on *ahem* our special request…so it’s all cool.
But no matter how big we grow,you must remember that we’ll always, ALWAYS, love you. So don’t feel detached, come in with your contributions: money, people, events, bands, booze, etc.

We promise to take your breath away this FEB with IRIS. Be nice. You do want it back, don’t you?
