newbie to the con

[bluedreams]

hello there. i am traveling from mexico to convention this year because a cousin of mine keeps telling me that it is great. i have a few questions.

1: why is the ID requirement. and will my passport work? anything else as well as a passport?
2: i will probably have a relative pre-pay for me with a card from the states, is that alright?
3: what exactly will i need to do when i get there?
4: also, what if don't make it in time for the pre-reg?

it's all dizzying... but i do hope i can make it to enjoy my first convention in the US. thank you for your time
