****Amati News Flash****
I tried posting it before, but it didn't work. Didn't know if you saw this yet? Unfortunately, I was out to lunch.
LAS VEGAS, Calif., May 6/PBNewswire/ -- There were rumors (just
another in the bunch) that cropped up in recent days that Siegfried and Roy, the famous magicians from the Mirage Resort, became fascinated when they heard about the Amati Booth at the Networld/InterOp Networking show this week. Apparently, they thought that 8 Mbps DMT style down a copper wire must be a fantastic illusion and they wanted to hear how it was done from the up-and-coming (but certainly not new in engineering circles) magician Dr. John Cioffi.
The two famous Europeans found their way to the Amati Booth at
around 4 pm Eastern Time and they happened to bring with them more than their strange personalities and glitzy costumes...they brought their tame, giant, white Bear "Sasha". They said that there would NOT be a problem, but rather it would be 'fun' for people to watch. Most, at the time, thought it was just another publicity stunt for more ticket sales. Well, what ensued, was absolutely horrible!
After Roy got frustrated talking to Tac Barry at the Amati Booth
(apparently, even the famous Roy could not get in to see and talk to Dr. John Cioffi), he ordered Sasha to wreak havoc on the place and grab as many Overture 8's as he/she could. Siegfried apparently just stood, stoically, staring at his partner and occasionally whispering, 'Yah, Roy, yu do it...we must hav thes secrits". Some people swear that Michael Jackson's theme song "Siegfried and Roy" blared out over the speakers at InterOp during the malaise, but that is also an unconfirmed rumor. Sasha randomly proceeded to rip down four or five 'other' booth walls and stole a number of Overture 8s (apparently they were in a great deal of other InterOp booths) before making way to the big crowd in front of the Amati Booth...What happened afterward was downright gruesome and terrible!
Four innocent people, who were apparently shouting obscenities and foul language at the Amati people just minutes earlier, were all torn apart by the limbs and eaten by Sasha. It was pure coincidence that these four were eaten, authorities say. Three security guards jumped in, but they were thrown off like ping-pong balls. The crowd, sickly, started cheering...they wanted more!
Then Sasha, with 5 or so Overture 8 modems already hanging by
copper wire from his/her mouth, went for the modems at the Amati Booth. Both Siegfried and Roy were smiling at each other and the whole crowd went silent for some strange reason. Sasha leaped through the air in an attempt to take the entire Amati Booth down. Then, out of the corner of the crowd, a tall, professional, elegant woman jumped six feet into the air into Sasha's side and they both disappeared into the crowd again. A man in shades with a baseball cap with the letter 'A' on it also came from nowhere and did three flips into the air before he disappeared in the same part of the crowd. The Amati Booth appeared saved for a brief moment. Surprisingly, over the course of the next few minutes, no fighting was heard...some jokes, some good arguments, some songs, talk about rocket launches (?) and some poem readings (?), but no fighting. The crowd grew silent, yet again. What the hell was going on?
Then, almost magically, the crowd opened up and the elegant woman
came walking out of it, proudly. Her hands told us who won. One
hand had the now happy and calm bear, Sasha, by a leash. The other hand had the stolen Overture 8s. The man with the hat had vanished.
Siegfried and Roy were stunned. The police escorted them out
immediately.
The crowd stood up again and cheered and unbelievably, the InterOp show and the Amati Booth were back up to normal in a matter of minutes. There was a large buzz about who the mystery lady and man were that saved the day, but the only thing anybody found out was that she was a large shareholder and a believer in 'real' magic. Nothing was found out about him.
There was also a rumor that several Ferrari's and BMW's immediately left the vicinity after the incident.
There was also several other rumors that were filling the halls a buzz...one had to do with the fact that while Roy was badmouthing the Amati Booth (saying things like "DMT is a hoax...CAP is soo much betta!") at the cop station, Siegfried was on the cell phone right next to him, telling his broker that Roy will try to "bring the price down to a better sweet spot, then we'll load up." Whether that happens or not is left to be seen (no pun intended). Another rumor was that magician Dr. John Cioffi was only in Vegas for a few minutes...he reportedly just went into Ceasar's Palace and made a large bet on the chicago Bulls to win the championship and left.
The remarkable thing about the 'Bear Attack' was that it was broadcast live on the Internet, by the Amati Booth cam. This proved to be stressful for even the viewers. Copies of the crazy event are already being distributed on the Web for a small fee.
