*cracks knuckles*

Okay guys, it's a little over a month until Anime Expo. My aunt, who you may recall is letting me crash on her couch and getting me into the con this year, is a woman of few words, or at least vague ones. My previous attempts to subtly get her to provide information on her own have failed, and it looks like I'm just going to have to ask her straight out. So.

Am I forgetting anything?
-Has my registration been handled/What materials I need to take care of myself
-Date and time I should book my train for
-How many days am I staying (before or after the con?)
-Whether or not she will be providing transportation to the con
-Whether she will be providing meals or if I will buy my own

Secondly, this will be my first time attending a con by myself. What sort of preparation should I...prepare?
