$1.65 1K AON Order taking long time to Fill
Which is a good sign...
Rawnoc: I Understand that thinking, however the details and the overall story have escalated greatly since we were buying our dirt cheap shares at .45 to .60 and my super cheap shares at $1.00 to $1.40 - (announcing the Grand Opening News / Date for just 1 easy example).
Now we are in the $1.60 zone, and appear ready to break-out ASAP (which is why I did not fret my last 5K buy yesterday at $1.65) If it had broke big, up and away yesterday, I would have been kinda bugged I did not Get that last 5K Lot. So I paid a dime more for it at that time, then I could have paid if I took the Chance to wait for a dip back down a bit. Will that dime bother me now or down the road, I think not...
Let me share a personal story as an example of what I mean by an ever-escalating ever-changing story stock and it's perceived value at any point in 'buyer' time...
INVN - Invision circa 2001 (airport bomb detection equipment)
My First buy was at $3.45 a share (Early October 2001).
My Last buy was at $26.00 a share (Early December 2001).
These two buy events (w/multiple others in-between) occurred only two months apart (and I also traded the Sh_t out of it in-between more buys due to it's volatility at the time).
The INVN (Invision) story evolved over those two mere months in 2001 from being a 'joke' company / never to be a viable product all the naysayers said, to a $50.00 a share stock bought out by GE.
Oct to Dec 01... w/respect to my own INVN DD, I kept buying more and sold all on 12/7/2001 at a DBL+ profit (which I moved into VSNX, then IDNX, then into ID - but that's another + story... I digress)
The point is, as a stock story evolves and unfolds the value of what a willing buyer is willing to now pay Quickly evolves as well... A buyer can only place his bets with the full sum knowledge of what he is privy to at that Instant in time, and with his/her vision of what MAY be, (hopefully) based on that current sum knowledge they have acquired before their actual betting. I found that folks unwilling to pay $5 a share for INVN coughed up $20 later - and $30+ on 12/7/2001.
You MAY see folks that would not TOUCH UWNK now, to be later coughing up vast sums when the Franchisable Concept of uWink is later in full swing. Players Perception is One reason I Love this Stock Market Chess Game and all the Players on both sides of a Trade.
FYI: I Like this board of yours BTW - good work!

Have been reducing my ID position lately (now down to 5000 shares) and have been moving money from it + much 'other' money to something else I expect to be very profitable. I have known of this company / Stock for about 1 & 1/2 years. Have purchased shares from .45 to $1.65 and am currently holding 58.5K shares at an avg cost of $1.22
This is not a reflection on our stock ID – this is an opportunity IMO
I have waited quite awhile to mention this Stock to you all until the Initial Restaurant Opening was Publicly Announced (this event Occurred just yesterday). Take or Leave this posted information as you wish..., however I feel I would be quite remiss if I did not tell my old friends about it, while it is still at spare change levels...

The initial Restaurant has it's Grand Opening this Monday.
(it's located in a Westfield Mall CA in a perfect location)

Clarification of My Previous Post
I was too brief in the post I am now replying to.
Posting Further info To Fully Clarify that Prior Post Today:
When citing / noting Approximate 1.5 to 3 Million numbers (and a '35K fran fee'), I used a generalized public knowledge app. example of an existing Franchise like an Applebee’s to note / refer to what it costs to open a Restaurant, and was NOT citing any real or actual numbers for uWink. I am not aware of, nor am I privy to such information.
Again, any reference at all to any start-up costs WAS NOT referring to uWink in any way and should not be taken as such. As we all know or should know, uWink start-up costs numbers have yet to be determined / disclosed.
FYI: Netman
Perhaps hussler - Will talk later...
when the fran's and numbers are made available.

San Fernando Business Journal Covers uWink - More to come…
October 9th, 2006
Chuck E. Cheese Founder Goes for the Grownups
New Restaurant Concept Ultimate in Cyber Dining
By Shelly Garcia
San Fernando Valley Business Journal Staff
Bushnell: Entrepreneur.
In 1970 he founded Atari and forever changed home entertainment.
In 1978 he opened the first Chuck E. Cheese restaurant, and arguably changed kids’ playtime forever.
Now Nolan Bushnell is at it again. Can he change the restaurant industry?
Bushnell’s new company uWink Media Bistro is a restaurant-entertainment center for grownups that uses Internet-based technology instead of menus and waiters and gives people-watching a whole new meaning.
It is set to open in coming days in the Westfield Promenade in Woodland Hills.
Think neighborhood bar with a menu that doesn’t need to be washed down with a stiff one and simple computer games instead of pool tables and dart boards. Then add on the ability to play the games at one’s own table or in combination with any neighboring tables or even the entire restaurant and you’ve got uWink.
“Most chains are looking for something to get people involved,” said Eric Wold, managing director at Merriman Curhan Ford, an investment company that helped uWink to raise capital last year and has a position in the company. “There are a million and one different environments out there, and everyone’s getting very competitive. What they’ve done is create something that’s a great way to keep customers sitting there longer and get them excited to come back next time.”
UWink works this way: Customers are seated at a table with a touch tone screen that includes the menu and bar offerings as well as a selection of games.
Site: Promenade in Woodland Hills.
Touch the screen to access the menu, and a selection of items such as Crispy Sushi Roll, Southwestern Ceasar Salad, Spicy Thai Shrimp Pizza or Braised Short Ribs comes up. Touch the screen again to modify the order, leaving out some of the ingredients or adding an extra helping of others, or to get nutritional information on any of the dishes. Then decide whether you want all or some of the dishes served right away or held, perhaps after a cocktail. Cocktails too are described on the touch screen where those who are unsure of what they would like can play a whimsical game to get a recommendation.
The computerization allows for numerous permutations, so, for instance, if children are hungry they may be served immediately while the adults dawdle, and if some members of the same party want a separate check they can do that too.
While they wait, or as they eat, customers can then tap into any one of a number of short games like Sharp Shooter, a basketball game or Trivia, watch a movie trailer, read a horoscope or learn the latest Hollywood gossip.
There are no waiters. Instead runners bring the orders that are electronically transferred to the kitchen and bar and entertainment directors make sure patrons are making the most of their experience, or hooking up different tables to the same game for a little competition.
“We wanted to reinvent the entertainment experience in a public space, introduce technology in an area we think is technologically sparse and we wanted to be a place that represented an extension of people’s digital life,” said Bushnell of the concept.
A typical check will run $12 to $16 per person without alcohol. Meanwhile, the computer-based ordering system shaves labor costs anywhere from 6 percent to 8 percent. And uWink has already sold screen space to advertisers such as Evian and Stockholm Vodka, a revenue-generating opportunity that Bushnell thinks will have long legs.
UWink is an incarnation of an earlier effort, E2000, that was aborted by a long, ugly legal battle with Merrill Lynch over debt financing the company extended to Bushnell as he tried to incubate several different technology-based business models. The lawsuit was resolved late in the 1990s, but not before Bushnell lost most of his own personal fortune.
He began uWink in 2001 with little fanfare, initially as a company that built games for sale to other restaurants and bars. The company has spent about $10 million to develop the software, and in March raised another $1.5 million through Merriman, Curhan Ford.
But when orders dried up in the wake of 9/11, Bushnell decided he needed a model that would provide more income stability and decided to integrate vertically.
Largely as a result of the shift in the business model, uWink, which is traded over the counter, reported sales decreased 83 percent to $110,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and the company recorded a net loss of about $1.3 million for the period.
Bushnell is hoping that the bistro will fill a void, particularly for women.
“Sports bars are done to death for men,” he said. “The casual gamer was squeezed out of the market.”
Although computer games are typically thought to be a male domain, Bushnell said that, at Atari, when executives took new games home, their wives became engrossed in them.
The uWink games, like the early Atari games, are not long odysseys through violent worlds, but rather, easy to navigate, quick hits that encourage conversation rather than rolling over it.
The games are free as long as patrons are eating or drinking. But after about 45 minutes, without a new order placed, the screen will deliver a message: order more or start paying for the games.
UWink has already received some interest in franchising, and the company has engaged a law firm to help. But Bushnell wants to get several units up and running before rushing into a chain concept.
After a storied career that kept him on the front pages of national media for years, Bushnell seems content to go slowly.
“I perceive this as a starting point,” he said. “We will see what people like and make sure that what they get is what they want.”

Nation’s Restaurant News - Bushnell’s uWink markets to women with video menus, nonviolent games
October 9th, 2006
Part of the story…
WOODLAND HILLS, Calif. (Oct. 9) - There will be no Skee-Ball. Another message that digital-entertainment pioneer and Chuck E. Cheese’s founder Nolan Bushnell wants to impart this week with the scheduled debut here of his long-awaited uWink is that the casual-dining bistro is light-years beyond previous adult-oriented gaming and dining formats. Unlike such concepts as GameWorks and Dave & Buster’s, the upstart uWink prototype, tucked into a large shopping mall in this San Fernando Valley suburb of Los Angeles, targets women ages 21 to 35.
With recent research indicating that women are increasingly frequent players of the kind of nonviolent video games that uWink will feature, Bushnell appears to have come full circle from his decades-ago parenthood of Atari Corp. and its seminal hit “Pong.” But with uWink, he is venturing far from the pizza parlor fare of his last chain venture.
Created by a Wolfgang Puck alumnus, uWink’s eclectic menu aims to rival that of The Cheesecake Factory in terms of food quality and variety. UWink also offers a full bar. Uncluttered walls throughout the 150-seat dining room either display ever-changing “iCandy” digital art or serve as large screens for tabletop-generated game play by dining parties. Elegantly unobtrusive terminals at the center of each table allow guests to order and customize their meals and drinks, choose from a variety of entertainment media channels, and pay their tabs with the swipe of a charge card.
But perhaps most important, according to Bushnell, is that uWink aims to bring people together, unlike gaming and dining venues that promote a guest-versus-machine dynamic. “Women will fall in love with this place because of the games,” Bushnell said, “but there’s nothing immersive. We want the emphasis to be on the relationships between people. The games are just the facilitator.”
Long known as a forward-thinking entrepreneur, Bushnell invented the first commercial video game and founded Atari in the 1970s, later selling it to Warner Communications. He went on to create Chuck E. Cheese’s Pizza Time Theater in 1978, a vanguard concept in family-friendly dining that now has more than 500 locations and is owned by Irving, Texas-based CEC Entertainment Inc. Bushnell has assembled a team of restaurant industry veterans to run uWink. His director of operations is John Kaufman, a key executive in the early evolution of the Los Angeles-based California Pizza Kitchen chain and former chief operating officer for the Rosti and Koo Koo Roo brands. UWink’s executive chef is Greg Schroeppel, formerly of Wolfgang Puck Fine Dining Group. Schroeppel’s resume also includes years of experience in foodservice research and development for such brands as Applebee’s and Arby’s. The food is designed to be a primary draw, Kaufman said. The globally inspired menu of uWink includes such appetizers as Thai-style chicken lettuce cups, barbecued pork sliders and hummus with olive tapanade served with fried yucca chips. The targeted per-person ticket is $12 to $14 at lunch and $15 to $18 at dinner, without alcohol.
