Looks like you have some places to go other than AX that aren't offical. These might just be extra or something if you've waited too long to get a badge for a real thing.
Look
like Little Tokyo wants some of that Anime Expo run-off! We don't
recall it happening before, but JAnime is taking over the JACCC on
Sunday July 2nd. It looks to be a mix of Japanese cultural activities
and some old-school anime/live-action to watch. I'm just glad the
Aratani Theatere is being used to watched old Ultraman. Seriously, that
place should be showing anime every weekend.
In
any case, if you want to chill away from AX, you might have a hotel
room nearby, or just want to enjoy some Japanese culture outside of the
convention center, there isn't a better place in LA.

"Future Funk is a Vaporwave subgenre that emerged around 2010 (championed by artists such as Yung Bae, Night Tempo and Macross 82-99) it uses elements of Funk and Disco combined with Japanese City Pop influences, resulting in a sound that is upbeat, insanely danceable and very funky. Future Funk's aesthetic is a mix of nostalgic influences such as 90s anime and '80s consumer culture. The fact that it is derived from Vaporwave goes some way in explaining the familiar and yet strangely unique sound and visuals."
