Further fundamentals: Tips from a seasoned Futurist

Mike Prevatt runs down the Futurist checklist.

• Request your passcodes and purchase tickets ($250-$400) online before you go. There are no walk-up sales, and many of the accommodation options are sold out. Parking passes are mandatory for non-RV vehicles.

• Checklist: sunblock, sunglasses, lip balm, warm clothes for the evening. Prepare for possible rain on Saturday.

• Take I-15 to exit 80. Or spring for a $40 shuttle pass.

• Arrive no earlier than Friday, April 29 at noon, ID in hand. This is a 21+ event.

• Don’t bring more than one 360-ounce case of beer or 1 liter of liquor.

• Once on the festival grounds, keep your clothes on. This is a Native American reservation, not Burning Man.

• Drinking water is free, as are showers and wifi.

• Use a credit or debit card to register your RFID wristband, which must stay on while at Further Future. It’s the only way to purchase goods all weekend, or go in and out of the festival grounds.

• Hungry/thirsty? Buy local 24/7, from the likes of SLO-Boy, District One/Le Pho, QFS Tacos, Makers & Finders coffee, Gelatology and the forthcoming King Hippo urban lounge.

• Need a reset? Meditation, yoga and wellness options abound.

• Super-smart people flew in for this. Listen to one or more at the fest’s speaker series.

• Leave no later than Monday, May 2 at 9 a.m.—and leave no trace.
