     Mark Petrakis is a champion of cybercommunity and online theater in the San Francisco Bay area. Mark spoke about the benefits that virtual communites can bring to off line communities, and how powerful a force the internet can be to join forces of millions and millions of minds.

     Mark also spoke about the benefit of the internet in creating a theater for a new kind of performance; that when millions of internet residents come together, they are creating a performance of their own ... that the internet allows the performance of the be-in to be a much much larger party.
