                    Music and a Chance at Lasting Romance

    DALLAS, July 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Get ready to rock and remember.  True, the
premier online relationship service, today announced it has formed a
relationship with one of the world's leading entertainment companies, Clear
Channel Entertainment.  Beginning this month and continuing throughout the
summer, the companies will bring millions of music fans across the country

    Set to the beat of this summer's chart-topping artists, concert-goers in

amusing and entertaining give-aways and collateral as well as "True
Hook-ups" -- live dating games that will take place in between acts at various
venues.
    "True's goal is to bring compatible people together, forming meaningful,
rewarding relationships," said Herb Vest, founder and CEO of True.  "By
working with Clear Channel this summer, we're able to do that in a big way
with an added element: we're making sure people have fun doing it!  We are
thrilled to say that as a result of our agreement millions of music fans
across the nation will have the chance to learn what it takes to develop and
maintain long-lasting relationships this summer, to the beat of great music."
    "The live music experience is intense and exciting," said Bruce Eskowitz,
president of Clear Channel Entertainment Properties.  "Pairing True with
targeted concertgoer demographics will help to build a powerful emotional
connection with consumers."
    True will have a high-profile brand presence at Clear Channel
Entertainment venues with "True Stages" in Albuquerque, Boston, Charlotte,
Cleveland, Columbus, Indiana, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Nashville, Sacramento,
