I can scarcely believe this:

A convention for rocket belt enthusiasts is being organized.

Niagara Falls, New York. Saturday and Sunday, 23 and 24 September, 2006.

Four Bell Rocket Belt pilots have committed to appear.

A bunch of new-generation rocket-belt builders will attend.

Wow.

Thanks to Peter Gijsberts, who runs a Web site on all matters rocketbelty.

Hi everybody

Indeed we have not much experience in organising a rocketbelt convention, BUT.... all the people on my website who confirmed, are comming.
I am negotiating with Nelson Tyler and Stuart Ross also, Stuart will come for 90%, Nelson yet to confirm.

The hotels are just for helping you out in ndirections, but you must make reservations yourself. The admission for the unique rocketbelt convention is $75 for two days.

You will meet, and can listen (lectures) original rocketbelt pilots, engineers, the engineer who designed the rocketengine for the RB2000, a hydrogen peroxide specialist
a lecture on the inventions of Wendell Moore (inventor of the rocketbelts), John Spencer, who worked and tested the POGO (one and two man Lunar transportation) based on the Bell rocketbelts, see the one and only rocketCHAIR, meet modern builders, and yes, see a real live rocketbelt demonstration.

Off course at least one, maybe more original Bell RB's will be there, and several modern ones.

All the best, hope to see you there
Peter Gijsberts

Ps. This week the Press release will be out, and the possibility to reservations will be out also. It will be a first come, first served manner, payable thur bank, Paypal.

I hasten to say that your lineup of speakers is impressive indeed. I would like to attend if I can, and a few other friends seem to be interested.

Good luck with your conference! I look forward to reading the press release.
