But it does have its downside.<\/p>\n<p>The main downside is that the Tull show is soaking up sponsorship money like nobody&#8217;s business- seating, sound and security don&#8217;t come cheap, and the budget for prizes has been slashed by 4 lakh rupees.<\/p>\n<p>What this means is that the Open Quiz, which I was conducting along with <a href=\"http:\/\/skthewimp.livejournal.com\">SKimpy<\/a> and Kodhi will no longer have a first prize of thirty thousand rupees. It will instead have a prize of nine thousand rupees- still much better than what any other festival gives, but not the Landmark\/ Odyssey killer we had fondly dreamt of. If you had decided to come to Unmaad based on my pitching of the prize money, I most humbly apologise, and can only promise to try and give you a quiz that is worth your ticket to Bangalore.<\/p>\n<p>On the positive side of things, the events team has been highly apologetic, tried its darndest to bring in decent kind prizes, and have been refreshingly transparent about the whole thing. Amd when you&#8217;re doing something pathbreakingly different like getting an international band over, I suppose budget slippage is forgivable.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, I know nine thousand isn&#8217;t as tempting as thirty thousand, but if you&#8217;re a quizzer do come to IIMB for our quiz. It&#8217;s on the fourth of February, and will feature questions we&#8217;ve been working on since July. There shall be no chimps, no peters and very little floyd.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Update<\/strong>: Prizes increased to 15000, 12000 and 9000!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jethro Tull is the main act at Unmaad, IIM Bangalore&#8217;s cultural fest.
