Event - Upcoming Help with Autograph Decisions

So I’m hoping someone can help me out here. I’m brand new to the world of anime and am going to my first convention this Sunday! I was going to go to the San Antonio convention and get my Chase Toji (Nicolas Roye/JJK) Funko signed along with this Daki (Erica Lindbeck/demon slayer) custom painted Funko I have.

I just found out that there is another convention this weekend even closer to me in Houston and Stephen Fu (Doma from Demon Slayer) is going to be there, and Doma is my favorite character from Demon Slayer which I also have a Funko of 😭 I can’t afford to go get all three of these signed, especially if I’m having to buy another ticket to the convention in Houston.

So my question is will I have a better chance of seeing Stephen Fu at a convention again soon, or Erica Lindbeck? Ideally I’d like to keep going to conventions as much as I can, but I know some of the VA’s don’t travel as much so I’m not sure who out of these three I might have a hard time meeting again in person soon.

Any helpful advice is welcome! Like I said, I’m old (M28) and brand new to anime and conventions, so I might have all this wrong! Thanks in advance!

You can see how many times they are in Texas on a given year.

This was super helpful! I was actually on this site earlier checking what cons would be in Texas and Louisiana tho year and going through the ones who had guest lineups at least started. Didn’t realize I could search by Voice Actor too.

So yeah this pretty much confirmed it. Not only does Stephen Fu not come to Texas much, he doesn’t seem to be super active with cons in general compared to Erica Lendbeck. I think if I can only get 2 out of the 3 autographs I want for sure, then I’ll probably get Stephen to sign my Doma Funko in Houston tomorrow (might snag a Muzan Funko and get his signature since he’s there too, but I shouldn’t spend the money) and then Sunday in San Antonio I will get my Toji Chase Funko signed by Nicolas Roye. Then I’ll leave the Daki (Erica) signature for July and go see her in New Orleans.

The hard part is San Antonio has so many I would’ve loved to meet and get autographs from. Just to name the characters, it’s Toji, Gojo 😭, Yuji, Nobara, and Inumake from JJK. Then Sasha, Petra, Pyxis, Zeke, and Birth-control all from AOT. Then Daki, Sanemi Shinazugawa, Mr. Giyu, Kanao, and Mitsuri all from Demon Slayer. And THEN Aang and Socka from Avatar…. This list is stacked. Can’t believe from that whole roster, I’m gonna only get a Toji autograph for myself and then a Gojo and Aang for my friends.
