IRON HOLIDAYS

Iron Cobra is celebrating the holidays in style - by disappearing.

That's right, the cobra is hybernating for the winter with no set date of return.

Fear not, though, there is still a chance that the archives with be stealthily updated duing this secret hiatus.

Iron Cobra Kills Bear, Saves Town!

Iron Cobra's lower right leg was amputated this summer. Still, Iron Cobra got on its crutches and went bow-hunting for deer last Friday. Using a fallen oak as a blind, Cobra waited for deer. Instead, a 420-pound bear started heading in its direction. When the bear was 25 feet away, Cobra shot it in the shoulder. (With a bow, mind you.) The Cobra then hustled out of there to avoid the wounded bear. It appears Cobra didn't need to; when his son went there the next day, he found the bear dead. Iron Cobra is giving away bear meat to its friends and residents are planning to have the bear either mounted or made into a rug.

IRON COBRA rocks the Victory

Here is an image of Graham expressing his happiness in last night's performance.

The fundraiser for Brendan Gall's new play, Panhandled, was a rollercoaster ride to say the least. We screamed a lot.

Big thanks to Bren for being so tall and to Chris Gibbs for letting us drag him on stage to exploit his accent.

And hey, look at this:



How does Becky do that, anyway?

Thanks to Martin Gero for capturing the magic moment.

The Cobra returns from the 'Peg

Well we are back in Toronto safe and sound after a harrowing journey back from if... (Winnipeg's Improv Festival). There were blizzards and thunder showers to contend with but, with the help of our pal Mike Bell, we all made it back in one piece - which was weird because we were three pieces when we left. Oh well.

Big thanks to Steve Sim for organising the festival and to all the other performers for providing us with cool people to hang out with.
