uWink Inc. (UWKI)

[uNintendo]

I have a couple guesses as to what is happening:

1. There will be one or two other PR items in the next week or so, to pump the stock well over $3/share. This will allow the financing to finalize, and for uWink to immediately be put on the AMEX.

2. The Mountain View uWink is a shrewd move to capture the attention of other entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, and technology investors. It is possible that uWink has really struggled to raise money in this secondary offering (maybe they are really getting only got around $5-6 million, rather than the maximum of $15 million).

So by placing a restaurant in the heart of silicon valley, they just HAVE to be noticed. A possible shift would be to still open the Hollywood restaurant, and then to open to Silicon Valley restaurant BEFORE the Howard Hughes restaurant. In a way, this would be like screaming in the faces of everyone who still doesn't realize that uWink is an amazing concept. "You morons! You REFUSED to try uWink at the Westfield Promenade Mall. Now you BETTER try it, because if the Google guys like it, it HAS to be good!"...or something like that :P
At that point, people would be BEGGING to invest in uWink...just like what will be happening to Nintendo through the end of the Holiday season (though uWink is so much cooler :P )

Anyway, those are my two cents (complete speculation on my part, but it's fun to think about!). This is great news!!
