 Topic: Confirmation of container arrival?

My crew is heading out early Saturday morning and hoping to receive
confirmation that the container trucks have arrived safe and sound. Is
there anybody with this privileged information?
 
Thanks!
Colin

Hey all, late-breaking container update, PLEASE READ.
 
I will be your Designated Sanity Fuse for the playa container reload.
First of all, to make the load run as smoothly as possible, please
commit to memory these already-mentioned rules:
 
#1. No piles. Bring your stuff to the truck, put it on the truck.
Nothing deposited outside the containers is guaranteed to make it back
to Boston. On your way out, spend a few minutes demooping.
 
#2. No empty space. When you put your stuff on, pack it in as tightly
as possible. Back to front, bottom to top: no air. Use your best
Tetris/Klotski/Katamari skills. Do not worry about keeping your stuff
organized or even on the same truck. It'll all get unloaded and
re-piled in the parking lot. Any order imposed inside the truck is
fleeting.
 
#3. Pack your belongings as compactly as possible BEFORE you get to
the containers. Stuff boxes inside boxes. Break down your bikes. A
pedal wrench will be available near the containers if you don't have
one. It takes two minutes to flip pedals around and remove your front
wheel, and it makes a significant difference.
 
Second: I'll be at the containers Sunday afternoon and all day Monday
making sure things are orderly.
 
I need VOLUNTEERS to help out -- mainly with simple traffic control
and reminding people of the above rules. I would like to have two
people for each of the following shifts:
 
Sunday 2-5pm
Monday 9am-12pm
Monday 12pm-3pm
Monday 3pm-6pm
Monday 6pm-9pm
 
If every Hive camp and every large non-Hive camp could chip in one
person for a shift, we'd have plenty of coverage. Let's face it, you
were planning on spending three hours at the containers anyway.
 
Thanks everyone, see you soon out in the desert!
 
Dewb

Hi Not sure yet, but the locks on the containers may have been needed to be cut to get into BM.  Could you all talk on this list and agree to have one of you bring a set of padlocks just in case.  They need to be the type the long necks not gym locker short ones.  Keep the receipt so you can return them if we don't need them thanks Peter --- On Fri, 8/27/10, Brian Gowdey <brian...@comcast.net> wrote:

I'll do it if no one has done it already.  Combination or keyed?  How many spare keys?  (5?)
