                The Internet Connection Sunday Event:
                             John Perry Barlow
              Sunday, September 3, 1995 at 10pm ET in the Bowl
                             (Keyword:Center Stage)


The Internet Connection is pleased to present John Perry Barlow. John Perry
Barlow is a retired Wyoming cattle rancher, a lyricist for the Grateful Dead,
and co-founder of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, an organization which
promotes freedom of expression in digital media. He is a writer and lecturer
on subjects relating to the virtualization of society and is a contributing
editor and writer for numerous publications included "Wired" and Mondo 2000.
He is a recognized commentator on computer security, Virtual Reality,
digitized intellectual property, and the social and legal conditions arising
in the global network of connected digital devices.

He is probably the only former Republican County Chairman in America willing
to call himself a hippie mystic without lowering his voice, and though he was
recently declared by the "Utne Reader" to be among "100 Visionaries Who Could
Change Your Life, " he is generally content to work on changing his own.

He lives in Wyoming, New York, on The Road, and in Cyberspace.
