Hello lovelies.<br />
GENERAL INFO<BR>
<br />
All space on the NYC Containers is sold in cubic feet.  (Cubic feet = LENGTH X WIDTH X HEIGHT)
It's true. Due to the hard work and info gathering of Lady Lucky and some Disorient folks, I've been convinced we can do a second container.<br />
We will NOT sell ANY space on the day of load in. <BR>
it is EXTREMELY important you read this entire email. You will be responsible for all the information included. I know it's long. Read it anyway.<br />
There are no refunds on purchased space, so measure well. <BR>
<br />
YOU are entirely responsible for loading your shit ON AND OFF the container, so don’t over pack your boxes and make sure you can lift them. <BR>
1. We are going to open up a second container provided we sell at least 2000 cu/ft. Space will be first come/first served. We will stop selling at 2600 cu/ft and take any additional cu/ft on a case by case basis. So first emails in get first cubic feet.<br />
YOU ARE LEGALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONTENTS OF THE SPACE YOU PURCHASE. KNOW WHAT IS IN YOUR BOXES. ANY COSTS FOR STOPPING THE CONTAINER AND TAKING ITEMS ON/OFF DUE TO PROHIBITED ITEMS ARE TAKEN ON BY THE PURCHASER, NOT DISORIENT.<BR><BR>
<br />
 
2. If you are interested in space, you must email me here with "Container 2" and "your name" in the subject line. Both must be included. You can not purchase via the website. Only through email.<br />
Cost is $7.50/Cubic Foot<BR>
<br />
We will be selling space via a ticketing website (like you would buy a ticket for an event); 1 ticket = 1 CUBIC FOOT. MAKE SURE THE AMOUNT OF TICKETS YOU PURCHASE = THE AMOUNT OF CUBIC FEET YOU NEED.<BR>
3. In that email you must tell me how many cubic feet you wish to purchase. Round up to whole numbers. Also include: Your full name, your playa name, your telephone number, date of arrival on the playa<br />
DATES AND LOCATION<BR>
<br />
Container space will go on sale JULY 8, 2015. There will be a direct link on this page to purchase from.<BR>
4. Measure well, there are no refunds.<br />
Containers will be loaded on AUGUST 2, 2015<BR>
<br />
The Containers will be loaded in a location TBD. We will update the location on this page, as well as email all people who purchased space on the container and to the NY Burning Man List with the location of the container load in.<BR>
5. Cubic feet will be sold at $5.50 per. This is not negotiable.<br />
PACKING YOUR THINGS FOR THE CONTAINER<BR>
<br />
REMEMBER: ALL BINS SHOULD BE PACKED FULLY. HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF POUNDS OF THINGS WILL BE STACKED ON TOP OF YOUR BINS, THE CONTAINERS WILL BE MOVED FROM TRAIN TO TRAIN, TRAIN TO TRUCK, ETC. PACKING YOUR THINGS TIGHT WILL HELP PROTECT YOUR THINGS.<BR>
6. YOU MUST send me your cu/ft request BY 11:59 PM SATURDAY JULY 29, 2006.<br />
DISOIRENT IS NOT RESPONSINBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR THINGS<BR>
<br />
All items must be boxed well, this includes bikes and strangely shaped items. NO metal, wood, etc. should be sticking out of anything. Things will be packed on top of or next to others and we are unable to do so unless items are boxed properly, think TETRIS. <BR>
7. You will receive an invoice from me prior to 11:59 PDT SUNDAY JULY 30, 2006<br />
IF YOU HAVE A VERY LARGE OR STRANGELY SHAPED ITEM YOU MUST LET US KNOW ASAP. THIS MEANS EMAIL US AT nyccontainer [at]disorient[dot]info. <BR>
<br />
ANY ITEM NOT PACKED PROPERLY WILL NOT BE ALLOWED ON THE CONTAINER AND NO REFUND WILL BE PROVIDED. <BR>
8. YOU MUST pay the invoice in full via paypal by 8:00 PM Eastern time MONDAY JULY 31<br />
PVC, conduit, wood, etc. MUST be taped or ratchet strapped together, securely so they will not fall out of the bundle, roll away, etc. <BR>
<br />
AGAIN, all bicycles must be taken apart and put in boxes. <BR>
9. If 2000 cu/ft are not paid for by Monday, July 31, a second container will not go.<br />
YOU MUST LABEL EVERYTHING YOU PUT ON THE CONTAINER WITH YOUR NAME, PHONE NUMBER, EMAIL ADDRESS AND ON PLAYA ADDRESS.<BR>
<br />
ITEMS PROHIBITED ON THE CONTAINER<BR>
10. We will not respond to any space requests past July 29. (I mean, come on...you should know what you need by now)<br />
DON’T EVEN THINK ABOUT PUTTING THE FOLLOWING ON THE CONTAINER: <BR>
- Hide quoted text -<br />
ILLEGAL ITEMS<BR>
<br />
ALL ITEMS FLAMMABLE AT HIGH HEAT, OR EVEN THOSE YOU THINK *MIGHT* BE<BR>
11. ALL RULES AND REGULATIONS must be adhered to and you MUST read the entire website of www.nyccontainer.com to learn what they are. Be radically self reliant.<br />
GENERATORS UNLESS THEY ARE BRAND NEW AND NEVER HAVE HAD GAS IN THEM – WE WILL CHECK<BR>
<br />
EXPLOSIVES<BR>
12. Most importantly, familiarize yourself with the rules and regulations concerning legal waivers if you wont be at load-in, no refunds, and how to pack. All information, however is required reading.<br />
GAS <BR>
<br />
FUEL<BR>
13. Load in will be Saturday, August 12th. Location TBA<br />
COMPRESSED GAS<BR>
<br />
ANYTHING DAMAGED BY EXTREME HEAT (i.e. batteries, uncanned or dry food, etc.)<BR>
If you need help determining cubic feet:<br />
The containers get very very hot, at times in excess of 120°F.  At that level of heat, those items which cannot stand high heat will often explode and ruin everything around them (like batteries) or they can start a fire (like fire flow toys with fuel on them). So, don’t put that shit in the container. <BR>

DISOREINT reserves the right to open any and all items loaded on the containers.  REMEMBER your stuff is not the only thing on the container, so don’t be irresponsible. If you blow up the container, cause a fire, cause the container to be pulled and search due to suspicion of illegal substances NO ONES stuff will make it to playa.  Don’t be that guy. <BR><BR>

MATH
CUBIC FEET = LENGTH X WIDTH X HEIGHT
1 CUBIC FOOT = 1728 INCHES
EXAMPLE:
CoCo’s bin is 18in x 12 in x 20 in. [18 x 12 x 20 = 4,320]
Coco’s bin is 4,320 cubic inches [4,320 / 1728 = 2.5]
Coco’s bin is 2.5 cubic feet
